stellArium & ethereal counterparts

Thank you for your patience and the kind messages I received. I am doing quite fine! Here are a few thoughts about my time off from the blog : I need perspective and my winds back. During decades, I have spent hours calculating and drawing astrology charts by hand .. this step-by-step approach represented a connecting ritual: my doorway to energies at hand. I really operated like a methodic scanner or laser-beam. It was an intense experience. A successful reading for me consisted in covering all the mathematical aspects of a chart until hidden information would find its way through and allow for an all-embracing synthetic connection. When I used to make these calculations by hand, "mistakes" ( such as an erroneous hour of birth for instance) would become revealers for some crucial but less obvious aspects of the reading. Later on, I started using computer-generated charts because it saved time. So in the process I'd forsaken the type of experience I've men

  “My duty is the debt of Love. I accept freely and willingly whatever burden is placed upon me. Love is as the love of lovers, except that instead of loving the phenomenon, I love the Essential. That religion, that duty, is mine, and is my faith. A purpose of human love is to demonstrate ultimate, real love. This is the love which is conscious. The other is that which makes man unconscious of himself.” —     Ibn’ Arabi

"Any cycle of existence must begin in something. Life emerges out of one kind of seed or another. In the cycle of yearly vegetation, the seed lies hidden in the ground during the winter; then, as the sun's rays gain strength and spring begins, the great event of germination occurs. As the seed is torn asunder by some inner power of eager response to the sun, the rootlet stretches itself downward into the soil and the little germ reaches up to the crust of the soil, which it breaks in a magnificent gesture of liberation from the darkness of the past."   Meditations on Saturn by Dane Rudhyar The Total Lunar Eclipse at 25° Sagittarius during 15 June 2011 Full Moon, happens with the Earth perfectly aligned between the Sun and Moon - so 'she' will pass at the very center thru the Earth' shadow .. and will turn copper for even longer.

In the same manner we'd come up with the notion of fair-trade, it has become obvious at least to me that the "new world" we keep talking about, is in deep need of implementing a fair-culture. I usually find wordiness to blur meaning and my general feeling about the increasing jabber on the blogosphere is that we would be better off expressing ourselves with greater parsimony. The ever-increasing saturation of our world by restless noise and buzzing information-news-opinions-stories in our cyberspace .. is reaching such a degree of non-sense that many of us may want to 'turn it off'. Don't they say God likes silence? Despite the current need for silence, I will explain what I mean by fair-culture and propose an ethereal counterpart to this eclipse season through several posts. This part is an introduction. kali yantra ©Vamakhepa With a sequence of three eclipses during the next month, I can think of no better time to dust off som

  after some time off from stellArium & ethereal counterparts, on this beautiful MoonDay, i will attempt to share some of my current visions and thoughts .. even if it's somewhat difficult to find my words this morning i went out before dawn to watch the cluster and it somehow "spoke" to me morning sky looking East during first part of May according to which house in our chart was activated by the ongoing cluster of planets in Aries, much has recently been happening in that given area of our lives .. most have experienced an incredible amount of energy that enabled the launch of a new cycle however, this initial energy stemming pure and direct from the deepest core of the "self" ..  also had with every occurrence, to go through a particular retributive phase each of the personal planets in Aries first contacted Uranus in Aries (standing alone & total break from the past), then squared Pluto in Capricorn (purification of sorts to better con
