 The
next Moon Wobble (see
Moon Wobble
Article)
begins October 30, 2003 through December 3, 2003. The heart of
this Moon wobble is 20 degrees of Taurus with a conjunction to the Nodes. Anyone
with Planets near 20 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius, will
experience this one more intensely.
However, the next set of eclipses will be the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipses on November 8-9, 2003 @ 16 degrees of Taurus followed by the New Moon Total Solar Eclipse on November 23, 2003 @ 1 degree of Sagittarius. This set of Eclipses are opposite to the eclipse pattern that occurred in May of 2003, when the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse was at 24 deg of Scorpio and the Solar Eclipse was at 9 degrees of Gemini. In fact on May 4, 2004 there will be another Full Moon Total Eclipse at 14 degrees of Scorpio, which will activate the November 8th Lunar Eclipse. The earth and water energy involved in this configuration offers the opportunity for emotional and physical manifestations of consciousness to elevate awareness and integration through the healing of old wounds. The opportunity is present for many to surf the collective psyche with ease, however the challenge is to remain grounded and to be able to assimilate the benefits of this watery, trance-like, multi-dimensional consciousness without allowing it to interfere with practical concerns. The circumstances are extraordinary for evoking simultaneous awakening over an entire group. It’s time to reclaim our place in the long chain of awakening souls stretching throughout the ages. Uranus the God of Revolutions, Change & Lightening has been retrograde back into the 29th degree of Aquarius since June 6, 2003 and will be stationing direct at the time of the Full Moon Total Eclipse on November 8, 2003. This indicates a major breakthrough in releasing ‘stuck’ energy, which could manifest as a typical Uranian way of ‘kicking’ doors open to wake people up out of a profound trance. Uranus energy is fast, sudden and totally unexpected. "There are three truths, my truth, your truth and the truth." Old Chinese proverb Scorpio is the sign of secrets. When an eclipse happens in this sign, something hidden surfaces to be revealed. The Sagittarius Solar Eclipse is about getting to the truth. It will be a time where the truth which is like oil will certainly surface. With Uranus thrown into the cosmic soup, we can expect that some of these revelations will be shocking to many but liberating at the same time. Uranus is like the Tower Card in the Tarot. The King is dethroned but the people that were in bondage to him are liberated. There will be a lot of changes on the political home front. This will be the beginning of the end of the Bush government. A lot of stuff is going to come out that will not fare well for him. Saturn is crossing over his Sun in his house of hidden enemies now and throughout most of 2004 then preparing for his 2nd Saturn return in his 12th house, and this is when the chickens come home to roost as they say. It’s the house of his self-undoing, the Lord of Karma highlighting his own path and somehow bringing it back to him. With Saturn conjunct his Sun, it’s potentially his weakest time, he could even suffer from some physical illness as well as a manifestation of everything else happening. Astrologically speaking, he is not destined to serve another term as President. During the 2004 Presidential Election, he will have Pluto cross his South Node, and that will be the closing of the door for him. Interestingly, this is exactly what was happening to Saddam Hussein’s chart when the Bush administration invaded Iraq and dethroned Hussein. In addition to the result of this eclipse pattern which takes place in his 10th house of career and reputation, we will all begin to see the strongholds of his power slowly dissolve. An eclipse in Scorpio means that if those strongholds are rooted in deception, it will be the beginning of his downfall. He will certainly be tested. As Saturn retrogrades over his Sun now and repeats its conjunction through June of 2004, he’s definitely got a lot of explaining to do, along with finding himself constantly on the defensive. His motivations and intentions will come into focus. The Astrologer, John Mirehiel was the first to discover this pattern in the November Lunar Eclipse. (see www.astrosite.com) marking this the "Harmonic Concordance". He has been researching this eclipse since 1998 and discovered references from a variety of spiritual traditions, pointing toward this time as a portal for a planetary shift in consciousness, this is why he called it the "Harmonic Concordance". According to Mirehiel, the only other time a configuration in the 4,000 year span of his research which shows both a total lunar eclipse and a Grand Sextile/Star of David pattern was on July 1, 1852. "That chart is also in the Earth and Water signs, and its degrees match up very nearly with those of the Concordance chart too. …Interestingly, our ongoing research indicates that nothing of major import, which we are yet aware of, happened on that date." This eclipse creates a cosmic hexagram which is made up of two grand trines, three oppositions and six sextiles. Oppositions represent awareness and mirror each other to find peace and resolution. Trines and sextiles are supportive aspects to the challenging aspects, creating a more harmonious flow of energy along with opportunities for progress. Together these aspects interlock together forming a rare alignment called a Grand Sextile, which creates the Star of David, i.e., Merkaba. Earth’s Ascension Process is About Integration
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Philo-10 BC
The Dove is about Compassion, Gentleness, Forgiveness, Patience, Tolerance, Humility, Gratitude, Unconditional Love for all life. These are the attitudes of Ascension. The Dove has long been the sign of the Goddess in the ancient days of the Goddess Temples, and was later associated with the Holy Spirit during the advent of Christianity. "In the end times, the love of most will grow cold." ~ Jesus He did not mean the end of the world, but the end of the age that he was living in. The end of the Age of Pisces. If we are to shift with this new "Ascension" energy and window of opportunity within these eclipses patterns, then we must become more loving to ourselves and to one another. We need to replace those Scorpionic tendencies of jealousy, resentment and revenge with love, support and forgiveness. You can’t say, you’re ascending when your heart has turned cold to others, and even the simplest kindness is difficult for you to do. During this eclipse, we all have the opportunity to look within the dark and cold corners of our hearts and bring them into the warmth of loving light energy.
"There is no more profound thing you can do for your biology than to change the energy of a troubled past. Your DNA will change, your heart will change, and energy will start flowing into you that will actually create a longer life." Kryon As with all infusions of light and loving energies, Divine Law is always at work, which says, that "Love will bring up everything unlike itself". So don’t be surprised after this Eclipse to see the shadow side of life emerge. Situations that are unresolved still will be clamoring for resolution, healing and peace.
Sagittarius New Moon Total Solar Eclipse
During this Solar Eclipse Jupiter opposes Mars which both form a T-square to Mercury, Pluto and Venus in Sagittarius, creating a "mutable dilemma". Jupiter in Virgo is about the importance of discernment and details, which means that small is not necessarily insignificant. God is in the details! It’s time for change to come consciously (Mercury) and it shows that if we can keep an open mind and not be too stuck in the way things were, we can be transformed (Pluto). Mars and Jupiter in opposition can bring up arrogance and fanaticism, as Sagittarius is about belief systems, philosophy, religion and the making of ‘law’ (i.e., legislature) and the wisdom that comes from expanding our minds culturally and crossing socio-cultural boundaries. "If the noblest saint among the Buddhists, the best Mohammedan, the highest Stoic of Athens, the purest and wisest Christian … could meet somewhere and converse, they would all find themselves of one religion."-- Emerson Eclipses are essentially steps that we all get to take collectively up the arc of the evolutionary ladder. Each eclipse brings us one step closer to our Awakening and Ascension. The bigger picture is highlighted during the Sagittarius Eclipse as we are all called towards expanding our thoughts towards the future and the greater whole. It’s about Unity Consciousness. How can we learn to live with our own uniqueness and still be part of the whole? We are going to be asked on many levels from this eclipse pattern, what role does religion need to play in our lives? Does it help us or hurt us? Does it heal us or keep us behind? Does it create more peace and harmonious relationships between ourselves and our universe or does it cause more discord and war than necessary? Is it necessary to be a member of a religion in order to Ascend spiritually? It is possible to embrace all religions as one? What is the common denominator between all the worlds religions? "The biggest test of all religions is not religiousness, but of love…You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love." ~ Henry Drummond These questions and others will be the beginning of a series of eclipse patterns that will gradually change the face of religions all around the globe as we know them today. The changes will be at times to be considered dramatic to those who are stuck in the way things were, and to others, those changes will be felt as liberating. As mentioned earlier in the Planetary Shifts of 2003 the entrance of Uranus in Pisces for the next 7 years is about the liberation of Spirit from the dogmas of religions. "God builds his temple in the heart on the ruins of churches & religions." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson " I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church."~ Thomas Paine (1700's) The Call To
Freedom "Now I understood for the first time that all these problems are caused by a race asleep and thrashing about in its panicked nightmares. There will be wars and holocausts and genocides as long as God is portrayed and thought of as a tight-minded legislator, a feudal lord, an offended King, a hypersensitive Artisan – even if church managers condescendingly tack onto that ridiculous list the not-very-convincing footnote that He is also loving. As long as people dream that they are insecure and needy in some sort of eternal jeopardy, there will be atrocities. But as the human race grows up spiritually, and as individuals gain a personal experience of the God they have been worshipping in fear, they will recognize that much of their theology and philosophy is built on nightmares. That will be the day of peace." – George Fowler, "Dance of a Fallen Monk" We are no longer living in an age where everything is measured against the oligarchy of Religious Order. Thankfully in the western world we enjoy religious freedom. However, there are many countries that still do not enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted to practice and follow any path we choose or not as the case may be. In the New Age, however, religions will become more of a "reference point" as sleeping humanity learns how to wake up to their true power and their place in the universe during the Golden Age of Energy, when science and spirit merge. Some projected shifts: The Pope is getting ready to make his transition, this eclipse could trigger that, the impact this will have on the Catholic Church will be huge, as he is one of the most beloved of all Popes and as he passes over, more and more damming information will come out over time with respect to the behavior of the Priesthood. More and more people will fall away, leading to the church’s fragmentation. There will be some major shifts in women being able to become Priests. First let me interject a little history here in a nutshell, over 5 thousand years ago, women were the Priestesses in the temple, the patriarchy took over, castrated themselves and made themselves Eunuchs, who became the first Priests. It’s too bad they didn’t continue that practice, there would have been far less sexual harassments, sexual perversions and pedophilia within the churches over the ages ;-) For a woman to be allowed back into what has essentially been a ‘boys club’ for the past few thousand years…I’d say, that’s a major shift! This will of course ripple out to all other Christian denominations who will allow more spiritual empowerment to women. There will continue to be a lot of controversy within the churches, more and more shocking news stories and the battles over those who have been victim to the church oligarchy will finally have the opportunity to be heard. Movies and film will continue to unmask the true face behind some of the world’s most controlling of religious orders. Recent films such as the "Magdalene Sisters" and "Luther" are true stories of the struggle to be free from the oligarchy. There are more to come. "I have made this fairly clear, haven't I? Don't follow anybody and don't accept anybody as a teacher, except when you yourself become your own teacher and disciple."~J. Krishnamurti (1900's) The big pothole with Sagittarius is the test about falling into judgment. Both the Sagittarius and the Gemini polarity relates to judgment. There is a difference between discernment and judgment. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius now transiting through Virgo, we get to grow on this issue of discernment. Part of the process with withdrawing from something that you know no longer serves you, is to judge it as bad, this continues the illusion of separation. We all do it. Well, indeed, it may be bad for you, but in order to be completely free and at peace about it, we need to see that somehow, it’s in and of itself, not bad, but served as a kind of ‘negative’ in order to develop a more clearer ‘photograph’ of your self or your life’s path. It’s probably one of the hardest things on the path of Ascension is to learn how to transform judgments into loving acceptance. Hmmm…. another seed of this Total Solar Eclipse. "The wisest men follow their own direction."~Euripides (400 BC) "Religion is misunderstood mythology" ~ Joseph Campbell The Return to Unity
We are not and never have been separate from Source. We’ve never been separate from each other. We’ve also never really been separate from all of our brothers and sisters we have throughout the cosmos. We are not separate from our Sun and our Moon; not separate from any creature on our planet, and now it is time to re-member, heal our pain and our judgments of who we are and allow ourselves to open up to another level of Reality. That’s a step towards Ascension. Unity Consciousness In California
The State of California has 1 deg Sagittarius rising, which is exactly the degree of the Solar Eclipse. This indicates a "Rebirth" for California as the New Moon Solar Eclipse happens right on its ascendant. Jupiter in Virgo conjuncts the California Sun, making this an important year for expansion, growth and change for California.
Mars journeying through Pisces for six months since June of 2003 will finally travel through its home sign of Aries beginning December 17 the day Mercury turns retro. It’s kind of like a celestial oxymoron, as the energy of Mars in Aries will cause us to want to go forward, push ahead, make some strides, but Mercury going backwards puts the kabosh on our plans for awhile. This can no doubt cause some frustration to many, particularly when the two planets clash and square off during Christmas week. Explosions are possible which represents the release of pent up aggressions and emotional energies. As always, retrogrades are ideal for reflection and tuning into our intuitive right brains. This year Mercury will station retrograde at 13 degrees of Capricorn, which sends us the message to "Lighten Up"! The sign of Capricorn has the tendency to be too serious, and way too hard on oneself and others. So what if the decorations don’t all fit? So what if you can’t find that perfect gift for your mother-in-law? We need to be reminded that we are not called to be perfect, it’s way too much pressure, but we need to allow ourselves to take a break. Capricorn is the hardest working sign of the zodiac, so when in the retro dance phase, it’s really time to dance to the rhythm of life, party hardy and don’t fret the small stuff! Then on December 30, Mercury backs up into Sagittarius and our minds are fired up with the optimism of turning a new leaf in the New Year. However, New Years that begin on a retrograde always have their share of stops and starts. The New Year begins with introspection into what exactly do we believe about ourselves, the universe, our purpose here, the meaning of life? It’s a time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going. As mentioned earlier with respect to the Eclipse patterns in November, Sagittarius is about belief systems and truths. Mercury turns direct on a Full Moon, so our thoughts become magnified. Best not to take your new resolutions too seriously until the next New Moon which will be in Aquarius (The Chinese New Year of the Monkey) on January 22, 2004. That’s when things really start to become fun and interesting J Credits & References: Astrodata Bank www.astrodatabank.com/nm/SchwarzeneggerArnold.htm Graphics courtesy of Kepler and Martha Jones John Mirehiel www.astrosite.com Crop Circle Photograph by Colin Andrews July 2002 Ptaah Material Channeled by Jani King AFA "Horoscopes of the Cities" by Carolyn R.

Star
of David Eclipse Patterns
All
eclipses are doorways and portals to endings and new beginnings, this one,
however, seems to connect with the Merkaba of the Earth which has the potential
for activation. Many are saying this eclipse to be a major step towards the
Earth’s Ascension process. But shifts in consciousness usually come about in
subtle ways. For there to be a massive change in the "group
consciousness", it means that the majority needs to be ready to shift. What
does it mean to "shift"? The shift towards unity means that the masses
need to let go of divisiveness, discord and division. Perhaps that’s what the
seeds of this Scorpio/Taurus eclipse are being planted in us? Taurus is about
values. The question now, is what do you value? Is the need for revenge more
valuable than the healing that is available now? Do we value being right above
being at peace with others? Do we value the politics of tearing someone down in
order to make someone else stand out? Does Ascension require us to leave our
responsibilities and our planet behind? On the contrary, it’s about raising
the vibration of the planet’s grid systems through the awakening of
individuals worldwide. It’s about integrating light and loving energy into
what has long been stuck in fear and shadows. It’s about becoming more
responsible to your own healing process and therefore in turn assist in the
Earth’s Healing. We can not ascend by leaving parts of ourselves behind, as
the ascension process is all about integration of our fragmented selves bringing
it into wholeness. We need the courage of Scorpio to dive into the cavities of
our subconscious and bring those wounded and denied parts of our selves back
into the warmth of loving light. As humanity evolves, the planet will ascend
with our evolving consciousness. It really is up to us.
It’s
interesting that this major eclipse is in the signs of Scorpio and Taurus.
Scorpio being ruled by Mars and Pluto, is one of the most misunderstood signs of
the zodiac. It is a fixed water sign, meaning emotional intensity. It is also
the sign most involved with the ‘dark-side’ and the ‘shadow side of life.
It’s about delving into life’s deepest darkest mysteries and secrets. It’s
also a sign associated with cruelty, revenge, jealousy and resentment. It is the
sign of surgery, the cutting away and letting go of refuse and that which no
longer serves. There are three levels to Scorpio, the Scorpion, which is about
the raw animal-like lust, greed, jealousy and revenge energy, then evolves into
the Eagle, which is about rising above the animal nature, conquering self with
the courage to let go of its lower vibrations, and then there is the Dove, which
is the evolution of love, gentleness and forgiveness. The seeds within this
Eclipse pattern is about becoming the Dove. People have been saying that during
this Harmonic Concordance, the shadows of the past are just going to dissolve
and disappear. While this is certainly within the will of the Loving Light
energies of the universe, we are however, dealing with a group of humans who
have been given ‘free-will’. We each have the power to choose whether we
want to take that step to dissolve our shadows into light or not. It is not,
however, going to happen all by itself.
One
of the hardest lessons for Scorpio is to forgive. When one can feel gratitude in
their heart after going through pain and suffering, one has crossed one of the
most important bridges which brings about true healing. Often the
"choice" to forgive others, including oneself, is the very key that
causes those ‘shadows’ of the past to dissolve and disappear. Adopting an
attitude of gratitude for all of life’s situations, is another wonderful way
to watch the shadows dissipate. Remember the stars impel, but they do not
compel. It still comes down to us. Which path do we choose?
As
humanity is touched by this Merkaba Eclipse, we are all called to bring our
shadow parts into the light with the grace of the Dove, the courage of the Eagle
and the power of the cutting away of the Scorpion. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
illuminates the Sun in Scorpio which means we are essentially called to face our
fears (Sun in Scorpio) and let go of that which is dead and dying. It is the
essence of learning how we can truly reclaim our power back from our shadow
selves and the dark forces et. al. and make peace within our selves (Moon in
Taurus) leading to our well being and ascension. In Astrology the Moon is
exalted in Taurus, which means Taurus is the best sign for the Moon to find
fulfillment. It represents the emotional mastery leading to inner peace and well
being of the soul. With the configuration of this Star of David, i.e., Merkaba
body, we are being assisted by a host of Celestial forces that will support our
transformation and evolution back into the Loving Light Beings we truly are.
During this Celestial Merkaba alignment, we are all going to be
‘downloading’ (some consciously, everyone subconsciously) the seeds of
change that will assist us in transforming our consciousness toward healing,
resolution and unity in the months and years to come. This is truly about
getting in touch with our own divinity. Once critical mass achieves this, a
major shift in the collective global consciousness will occur.
The
Star of David is the symbol of the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. Israel
was born May 14, 1948. Israel is a Taurus state with the Sun near the North Node
and Chiron parallel the South Node in Scorpio, which is the Karmic doorway of
healing old wounds with ancient enemies. In astrology the North Node is your
destiny point, the South Node is your past, which is what you need to heal and
let go of. The Sun in Scorpio in this eclipse pattern conjuncts the south node
of Israel and the Full Moon conjuncts the North Node, which will activate the
destiny for peace and resolution, but not without shedding light into some dark
corners first! The degrees of the Nodes in this Moon Wobble are 20 degrees
Taurus/Scorpio, which conjunct Israel’s Chiron in Scorpio at 21 deg and
Israel’s Sun at 23 deg respectively. Israel’s Taurus Sun represents
Israel’s mockup for security, protection, peace and well being. However, like
all Taurus Bulls, they will fight fiercely when attacked. Israel has Scorpio
Rising, with the South Node and Chiron in the first house, which is why their
Intelligence gathering in regards to security is said to be the best in the
world.
There
is a stellium in Leo in the 10th house (Moon conjunct Pluto, Saturn
and Mars in Leo) which represents the transformation of the Lion of Judah. It is
also the Gift that Israel is destined to give the world. This Eclipse pattern
will square the Leo Stellium, (four or more planets lined up in the same sign or
house) which means pride and will get stirred up. There will definitely be a
turning point in affairs within this region, and the actions taken within the
next six months after the Eclipses will determine the peace and security for the
next year. In the Spring of 2004 another set of eclipses will activate this star
path for Israel, as their choices and decisions made now will be tested during
the May 4, 2004 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 14 degrees of Scorpio. Evolution and
shifts of consciousness take time and need to happen gradually in order for
change to become permanent. Israel is not out of the woods yet, but certainly
has the opportunity to create more stability for itself and its neighbors within
this window of change and activation.
All
Solar Eclipses are new moons and as with all new moons, they are doorways for
new beginnings, however with Solar Eclipses, its impact is much stronger, and
its effects last longer than just the normal 28 day lunation. Solar Eclipses
have a one year window, even though eclipses happen every six months.
The
return to unity is not about becoming the same as everyone else, like a cog in a
wheel, but instead an awakened, wise, experienced, compassionate, thinking,
feeling, intuitive contributing individual of a larger universal group. "Though
we are joining, not separating, unifying, not compartmentalizing, each Soul
remains nevertheless forever throughout Unified Creation as still an individual
consciousness, each enriched with its own personal accumulation of experience
and wisdom." ~ Ptaah, channeled through Jani King
During
this Eclipse Pattern in November, California will swear in new Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger. History was made on October 7, 2003 when the Terminator was
elected Governor of California, defeating the ‘puke politics’ that create
dissension and discord. The California election indicates that people are no
longer satisfied with ‘politics as usual’. California and New York are both
‘pebbles in the pond’ in relation to the rest of the country. When a pebble
is thrown into the pond, it ripples outward throughout the land. What an example
of unity when a Republican Governor stands on the stage with a democratic family
(the Shrivers and Kennedys) celebrating his victory in a contentious and
controversial race for the Governor of California. Pundits couldn’t find words
to categorize him, some Republicans call him a R.I.N.O (Republican In Name
Only), being a fiscal Republican, but a social Democrat at heart, nevertheless,
he represents the leadership needed to heal the politics of discord. Arnold’s
a Leo, with a Saturn and Pluto conjunction to his Sun, making him the ‘Strong
Man’, Mr. Universe, and forever disciplined in his self transformation. Now
taking on the challenge of straightening out the state of California, no one is
more capable of this kind of transformation than Arnold. He is a natural leader
and while he’s got his work cut out for him, he has within him the ability to
transform (Pluto conj Sun) with a firm and disciplined approach (Saturn conj
Sun) anything he puts his mind to. His Venus in Cancer rising, gives him his
trademark charm and charisma along with the ability to heal and nurture his
family and his state. This is a man who’s heart is in his work and who will be
devoted to the state as much as he is to his family. Being that Arnold is
Austrian born, he could never become President, therefore he can not compromise
his politics for a shot at the presidency, as other governors have. He will be
committed and loyal to California for as long as it takes to foster its rebirth.
It’s interesting, that he will be inaugurated during this eclipse pattern
which represents Unity Consciousness.
Mercury
Retrogrades – Tis the Season for Reflection and Returns ;-)
