Since the President is directly responsible for 1/7 of the total karma of the US, it’s useful to examine Dubya’s chart from time to time to see just how badly he’s messing up our collective karma and destiny. Right now his progressions and transits indicate he’s a miserable person in a situation of his own making, and there are major events of global importance coming, none of them good. Today we will consider the progressions, since there are several that show his life is sinking into a miserable morass of dysfunction in the immediate future through the rest of his life.
We have an important rarity happening the next two weeks, and that's the Grand Water Trine between Mars in mid-Cancer, Jupiter in mid-Scopio, and Uranus in mid-Pisces. This will harmonize areas in our charts ruled by these planets, as well as sectors where these planets are transitting. The blessing here is that it's been going on once a month when the Moon was in Cancer, and will continue long after Mars leaves Cancer. It will reach its zone of maximum focus on May 2, when Moon in Cancer conjuncts Mars and trines the other two, and last for quite a while after that.
The phrase, "Old Moon," is said to describe the final days before a New Moon. This is a time of low energy, and a period to finish things up. It should feel better now that the Sun square Saturn has left us, though it does indicate that we are all discarding some element of the past, and finding a new inertia, a new stability, and a new understanding of what endures. This should become more obvious and concrete during the coming weeks of the Sun in Taurus.
When asked long ago who I would most like to spend an evening with, without any hesitation I answered "Helena Blavatsky." She was truly one of the most remarkable women of history, and besides a host of interesting personality qualities that would keep anyone enchanted for a lifetime, she possessed a phenomenal mind, very advanced "psychic" powers cultivated in Tibet, and absolute integrity. She traveled her world extensively, and stories of her influence are the stuff of legend. (I realize some might think of speaking with Christ, Buddha, Zoroaster, Abraham, Babaji, or Mohammed, but most of us could not have much of a conversation with such beings. We might be in awe, but the evening might be fairly one-sided.)
In May 2006. Gemini and Virgo will experience a lot of dynamic change, as Mercury rapidly moves through Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. Venus changes signs twice this month, moving from Pisces through Aries into Taurus by the end of the month. Thus all Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, and Libra people will be in rapid movement. Leo people will bring things to fulfillment, while Cancer natives will be ending many things and moving into new initiatives, hopefully without impulsive or easily irritated patterns being activiated. Scorpios are bringing things to the surface or re-evaluating what they began late last year. Sagittarius and Pisces will clarify their understanding of some very personal issues, and Capricorn and Aquarius people should avoid needless confrontations while admiring differences leading to a more solidly loving knowledge of what is permanent and what is transitory.
Following up on a previous post, the Age of Aquarius is upon us, but since Cosmic Time is somewhat more stretched out than our human-based perceptual framework, it’s going to be a while before we will finally bid adieu to the old, rapidly-fading Age of Pisces. We have already had various parts of the Aquarian Age awakened at two different moments in recent history, these occurring when Uranus transited the sign. At present, Neptune is weaving and blending Aquarian energy into the holographic matrix of both collective consciousness as well as the collective unconscious, and in decades to come Pluto will awaken the seeds of the coming era which will look completely different from anything we’ve seen in over 200 years, ultimately manifesting as a completely transformed humanity.
A reader commented "I have read that when we don't live consciously, things then 'happen' to us as fate. I have also read that the outer planets (Uranus, Pluto) bring situations into our lives that are (seemingly) out of our control. Or do we attract these situations into our lives? How much control do we really have?"
In my experience, we have tremendous ability to control our responses; we have no control over when we will have to confront the need to rise to an occasion, as these are set at birth by the timing on our birth chart. We also must live within the larger configurations that affect us all. That said, we can shape what happens and how long we will be maneuvering through the rapids of life by what we do, feel, and think in any given moment. We can get beyond certain problems fairly quickly, but we cannot escape our need to keep learning all we can to BE our Highest Self.
Today's article arises from a fragment of a comment stream where I stated "Neptune is now embedding into collective consciousness what was awakened when Uranus transited those points (in Aquarius). When Pluto eventually crosses those same points, it will awaken the seeds of the Aquarian era. It'll look much different than most 20th century thinkers suspect. Thank God for time." We have had momentous activity in Aquarius as a prelude to the next Great Age of 2100+ years, with more to come.
The Moon's Nodes are well known and important factors in any chart, but almost no one has published much on how they work. There are many possible interpretations, but to put it succinctly, the sign of the North Node shows the quality of your line of greatest evolutionary development; the sign of the South Node shows the quality of your line of least resistance. In this regard, remember that often the North Node efforts are difficult, whereas the South Node patterns are familiar, and therefore usually easy. The Nodes of the Moon show when eclipses occur, and mark 4 points in the year when the Sun and Moon bring forth new emphases, and shut down old lines of energy and activity.
Here's part 2 of this "job search" series, and it's the complement to what was posted in Part 1. This article is more astrological in nature, and sets some of the framework encompassing what was posted yesterday. Since so many are going through so many changes, please feel free to contribute to the public dialogue in the comment stream, since we all have wisdom from our experiences that we can share with others going through similar circumstances. That said, welcome to an astrological exploration of the factors in jobs and professions.
A dear friend asked via email “Don’t know if this is outside the scope of what you want to do at the a Aquarius Papers, but if you ever felt like doing a piece on where to begin looking/planning for a new career/life change - you'd have at least one person interested in reading it. I guess it would have to be a pretty general type of thing, but l think a lot of people have a hard time just getting started/oriented.” I started thinking, and believe this is a great idea, so let’s begin our quest of exploring how to move into new jobs, careers, and lives.
The Full Moon of April 2006 falls on Thursday, 13 April, at 24 degrees Aries and Libra. This is a powerful axis guaranteeing us all a concentrated dose of spiritual energies, and "good fortune attending upon the putting forth of effort." Our minds will become like an open cornucopia, with a powerful set of spiritual energies blown through the open window, so allow your minds to take shape according to the nature of the higher energies you're experiencing.
