  Full Moon 21 November 2010, 17:27:19GMT 7e15, 43n42 Symbol: A Peacock Parading On The Terrace Of An Old Castle according to Rudhyar, this symbol refers to "hereditary gifts that manifest on a personal level" - or from an occult point of view, it is about the coronation of individual efforts when these rest upon a spiritual legacy.. Children In Halloween Costumes Indulge In Various Pranks social rituals that periodically allow the release of rebellious immature energies and tensions By taking a slow look at the varied aspects of this Full Moon, its mixed messages urge us however towards an inspired and truthful grounding of our passionate self within Reality. No matter how ambivalent and slippery this one appears, we need to maintain our lucidity and exert sound judgement. The Pleiades Star Cluster - Nasa This Moon.Sun opposition occurs at 29°-30° Taurus - and the last degree of a sign points at endings giving way for new beginnings - in conjunction

  © Rakesh K. Mathur The spiritual meaning of the Diwali celebration is about the awareness of the inner light , something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, also called the Atman. Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness .. to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying reality of all things (Brahman) brings Ananda (joy or peace).

A few things I notice here: - The Sun and Moon stand alone with Vesta, in a bare semi-sextile to Saturn in Libra and a trine to Lilith in Pisces. - Water is largely predominant with 5 bodies in Scorpio : Retrograde Venus which recently conjuncted the Sun is to leave it sho

  29 10 2010, 1:10:25 GMT, 7e15 43n42  Venus goes retrograde little over every 1,5 year thru an inverted motion. If we keep in mind that the markers of our experience during any planetary cycle, are the very degrees of the inferior and superior conjunctions, then each of the movement's phases highlights certain areas of our lives. This year, the Venus cycle occurs in Scorpio, same sign as the recent Venus/Mars. The present conjunction of Venus with the Sun happens at 6° Scorpio: The Gold Rush Tears Men Away From Their Native Soil  and refers to a process of be-coming, of going beyond the familiar .. doesn't each quest originate in Desire? The water triplicity being here its predominant element, the visual figure that stands out in the above Venus cycle chart, is the familiar shape of a pendulum. "When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing, there occurs a brief instant of pure potential energy when the pendulum is motionless, before it begins its swing in th

23 10 2010, 1:36:32UT, 7e15 43n42 This full moon occurs at 30° Aries which corresponds to the symbol: A Duck Pond And Its Brood Each sphere of activity is necessarily limited by its natural environment. In fact our universal consciousness, no matter its span, needs to be localized into concrete actions as Dharma is given substance in the material world. Worthy of note, this is the second of two subsequent full moons in Aries since the last full moon occurred at one degree of Aries: A Woman Just Risen From The Sea; A Seal Is Embracing Her what was implied in the last full moon is reaching a culmination of sorts now. Through the transformative fire and sheer energy giving of Aries, we are reminded that the current times are about new seeds and principles, that we are to move forward into virgin fields of consciousness and that with confidence in our 'destiny' and who we are, we may initiate this new process. This chart looks like a basket made of many symmetrica

New Moon 7/10/2010 18:44:28GMT 7e15 43n42 symbol : " Circular Paths " .. each morning the sun rises and each day is followed by night notice how the T-Square in this chart is embraced by two semi-sextiles on either end. these semi-sextiles which usually go unnoticed, take here a profound meaning in the repetitive cycles of life and represent the hidden possibilities open to us when each moment is lived as a new birth and not as mere redundancy of the 'old'.. on one end the Neptune.Chiron conjunction in Aquarius is semi-sextile the Jupiter.Uranus conjunction in Pisces and points to the healing energies and spiritual help currently available to us, if we choose to turn our gaze in that direction on the other end the Venus.Mars conjunction in Scorpio (necessity for a deeply personal approach) is semi-sextile the Sun.Moon in Libra - itself in loose conjunction to the Saturn.Mercury, which in turn has closed into a square to the coming conjunction of Pluto with

The Delphic Oracle

On BBC - radio 4 "In Our Time" , Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Delphic Oracle, the most important and best documented source of prophecies in the ancient world. In central Greece, on the flank of Mount Parnassus, lies the ruined city of Delphi. For over a thousand years, between approximately 800 BC and 400 AD, this was the most sacred place in the ancient world. Its chief attraction was the Delphic Oracle, which predicted the future and offered petitioners advice. Travellers journeyed for weeks for a chance to ask the oracle a question. The answers, given by a mysterious priestess called the Pythia, were believed to come straight from the god Apollo. At the height of Greek civilisation the oracle was revered, and its opinion sought in some of the most significant conflicts of the age. Its activities were documented by historians including Xenophon and Plutarch, and it was regularly depicted in Greek tragedy, most famously Sophocles's masterpiece Oedipus

with the T-Square in the background .. time is speeding up this week, demanding that we make up our mind and some long awaited life choices September 19 : while both in retrograde motion, Jupiter conjuncts Uranus at 28°43 Pisces for their second meeting this year - their first encounter was in Aries on June 8th and they will meet again in January 2011. as mentioned in previous posts, this year is to bring major scientific and socio-cultural breakthroughs: while humanity has been in a state of expectation for a giant leap (Jupiter.Uranus), some important advances since June may seem to have gone unnoticed and taken time to be announced as such (Pisces retrograde) .. but they are to be taken at another level this time. according to the house in which it happens and the aspects it makes with other planets in each individual chart, the Jupiter.Uranus conjunction is to set in motion the area in our life where we are ready to take risks and step beyond the familiar .. and into the unkn
