October 1-2-3-4 Mercury moves through the Scorpio Grand Irrationality zone, triggering that on-going “destiny provoking” energy wherever we have Gemini, Virgo, and early Scorpio, as well as the other zones discussed in this article. After you finish reading this post, check out the links above to get a broader understanding of the forces pressuring humanity at present.
A long time ago I began to wonder what advanced learning I should attempt. It led me through many metaphysical and spiritual arenas, as well as more practical ones, like producing a lot of cultural events and creating a field hospital for Willie Nelson taking care of 150,000 people in the withering heat of the Texas Summers. After fulfilling a lot of things, it then led me to wilderness solos in all kinds of places like the Rocky Mountains and the deserts of the Southwest, New York City to Mexico City doing my prayers and my dharma.
As many of you know, Grant Lewi is one of the true astrological all-stars. Originally an Ivy League English professor, he ultimately became one of the truly beloved astrologers of all time. He was a professional writer who began his astrological career writing and doing personal chart readings in 1934, around the same time as another venerable legend, Dane Rudhyar, began to write his pioneering articles. Part of Grant's legend is that predicted the time of his death in 1951, a story related in his other astrological masterpiece, Astrology For The Millions.
A brief note as we close out this month. As you read this, Mars is septile Saturn, adding to the generic craziness of the Grand Irrationality created by the ongoing Neptune septile Pluto. This is putting our Saturn energies at a fork in the road of our particular destiny, heralded by Mercury's septile this time last week. As the Sun crosses this septile zone, expect life to show us new developments.
The I Ching is a venerable book whose origins are reputed to be thousands of years old. The meanings of its various hexagrams have been debated through history, but personally, it has never given me a bum steer in over 23 years, even when I couldn't figure out what it was telling me until after the fact. Today I asked for general counsel for us all, what to be mindful of, and what to focus on, given these peculiar times “before the beginning.”
In October the Sun, Venus, and Mars all move toward their cluster conjunction at 30 Libra and 1 Scorpio, bringing together the rulers of Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, and Scorpio. House areas and planets in your chart with these signs should feel like they're blending in a harmonious chord of balanced or idealistic vision about to turn into a power. This feeling-based energy will become very strong late October as Mercury conjuncts Jupiter twice in a short time, and then Mercury retrograde takes that energy back to the other inner planets, adding Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces energies to those mentioned earlier.
This is remarkable, and one of the better arguments for reincarnation I've ever witnessed. There is no way a 4 year old could do this unless he had practiced for a long time, and Igor hasn't been around that long. Absolutely entertaining. Whose style does his resemble? Prepare for an amazing drumming performance by Igor Falecki. Definitely watch the whole clip to see multiple styles. Enjoy!
I’ve written extensively about eclipses for over 5 years. Since all the Solar Eclipses still affect us and the Lunar Eclipses affected us for many months after they happened, today I pulled many articles together so you can get a sense of what we’ve all been dealing with the past 5 years. The current and recent ones can be found by going to the links. I’ve posted some of the text to others from before Spring 2005. There are some remarkable insights to be had by reviewing what has shaped us all in the past 5 years, so enjoy!
Yesterday I noted we’re at the end of the Mars-Jupiter cycle that began around the Autumnal Equinox 2004. This has influenced many areas of our lives and we are now turning toward a new one to come December 2006. Those 2004 conjunctions are extremely important since one fell at 30 Virgo, the degree of the present 2006 Solar Eclipse, indicating the illuminated expansions we embraced between Autumn 2004-2005 directly relate to however we are about to “escape from a narrow destiny.” More on the present eclipse can be found by following the internal links in that article. What follows elaborates on the Mars-Jupiter cycle we’ve been living within for 2 years.
As we anticipate the Virgo Solar Eclipse (more here) we enter the final 9 weeks of Jupiter in Scorpio where our faith will be expanded, as will our need to clear out the old to get ready for the promise of wide-open things to come when Jupiter enters Sagittarius. We are in a “twilight,” or “end-game” period of the year-long Jupiter in Scorpio, as well as the old Mars-Jupiter cycle that began September 2004 at 1 Libra, a Transfiguration degree, which I’ll discuss in tomorrow’s article. Today we’ll focus on Jupiter.
The Solar Eclipse, despite releasing long term major volatile transforming energies through Pluto, will eventually bring favorable spiritual results since the Lunation makes a novile to Saturn. Where it falls in the map shows us what is closing, and what is opening. This article covers how it affects each sign.
Monday and Tuesday are important times of decision, choice, release, and promise. As the Sun crosses over the South Node, let go of all the petty worries that go nowhere and contribute nothing to your sense of well being. The septile to Jupiter offers the seed of things to come, and is a real turning point in the Sun-Jupiter cycle that will renew at the conjunction November 21-22, just before the Sun enters Sagittarius.
