LUNAR ECLIPSE NOVEMBER 2012 - USA

DATA:  November 28, 2012 @ 9:47 AM EST - Washington, D.C. 

The Moon falling into the 5th house puts a spotlight on stock market exchanges (the Big Casino) and other forms of gambling and on recreation, children, ambassadors and diplomats from foreign countries.

The Moon is recently separated from an inconjunct to 10th house Saturn, indicative of a government that has exploited the people with regard to their investments (Moon in 5th house).  The applying inconjunct of the Moon to 10th house Venus is a warning to the public of being drained of all physical resources by the same criminals.  There must be another QE on the horizon wherein the bankers will reap financial benefits to the detriment of the public, as Saturn is trine to Neptune.

Neptune in the 2nd house of the country's wealth forms the Apex of a Mutable T-Square with the eclipse, emphasizing the country's psychological weaknesses (blind spots) with regard to the financial state of the nation and its purchasing power.  The distortion of harsh reality is coming to an end and the people will be forced to learn how to become more discriminating.

Some of the eclipse energy will be siphoned off by 3rd house retrograde Uranus...expect headline news of sudden bridge closings, events involving moving vehicles including boats (all manner of transportation) and anything to do with communications.

May you all enjoy Thanksgiving despite what we face!

PISCES and THE TREE OF LIFE

 Late on the night of November 11th the planet Neptune made its direct station at 00* Pisces 21'.  The spiritual message is as follows:

The Eternal Tie That Binds.---Virgo represents the Garden of Eden.  The exercise of the critical faculty, which is within its special province, is the way to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  Yet information alone, no matter how comprehensive, is not sufficient to attain everlasting life, as the Bible clearly implies in Genesis 3:22:

"And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever."

The Bible then abruptly changes the subject.  Having indicated that there is a Tree of Life, partaking of which man might live forever, it leaves man to his own ingenuity to find where it is located.  Yet to anyone conversant with the ancient stellar doctrine that eternal progression depends upon both Love and Wisdom, and with the first principles of astrology which reveals that Polar Opposites, such as Love and Wisdom surely are, always occupy opposite stations in the zodiac, there could be no mystery where the Tree of Life must be located in the sky.  It must lie across the zodiac from the Tree of Good and Evil.

Pisces is the sign where the physical cycle of life ends.  If there is to be still further life, such as indicated by the new cycle commenced in Aries, those processes which lead to revitalization should be commenced before the time of transition thus indicated.  These are the processes so clearly indicated by the ribbon which binds the two Fishes of Pisces into an indissoluble union.

Specialization of parts - mechanics, statesmen, agriculturists, writers, artists, etc., - is familiar to us in that complex organization which we call our social system.  And we also are familiar with the fact that two elements united often produce a chemical compound with possibilities tremendously more significant than the same two chemical elements possess when not so united.

We may be sure, therefore, that the ancient masters who traced the constellations in the sky did not unite the two Fishes of Pisces into a single system without having information of profound import to convey.  They are not united rigidly, as are the cells of the physical body, but by a long ribbon which permits each Fish to move about without undue restriction from the other.  Each thus seems to be permitted the exercise of its own initiative; but belongs to a system from which it cannot separate.

Before attempting further to trace the significance of this universal symbol, let us see what the Greeks had to say about the constellation Pisces.  It is related to a watery sign, and thus to the emotions.  It is the exaltation of Venus, the goddess of love; that is, love finds its highest expression through Pisces.  And it is ruled by Neptune, the upper-octave expression of Venus.  Such expression, if it be true to the upper octave significance, relates to interior states which physical manifestations of love are unable to penetrate.  They have their significance chiefly where the astral body is concerned.

The Greek legend is that Venus and her son Cupid one day were strolling along the bank of the river Euphrates, when quite unexpectedly Typhon put in an appearance.  To escape this selfish monster, typical of Saturn, Cupid and Venus leaped into the water and transformed themselves into the two Fishes.  To commemorate this event the Pisces Fishes were placed in the sky.

Venus and Cupid represent love.  The Fishes into which they were transformed are denizens of the water, and thus signify emotions.  While love has a binding power, the ribbon by which the two Fishes are united, to be true to the rulership of Neptune, must represent an actual invisible energy which unites them, but which does not greatly hamper the movements of either.

Love manifests on various planes or levels.  But on the human plane, when there is natural harmony between the inner natures - that is, vibratory affinity between the finer bodies - and love has developed between the two persons of opposite sex, they easily and rather constantly tune in on each other's vibratory rates.  Depending largely upon the activity of their inner forces and the state of their spiritual development, a circuit, or endless belt of energy forms between them.  That is, there is a continuous current of astral energy circulating between them, much as there is a circulation of blood through the physical body of the individual.

This circuit  is indeed a current of life, possessing amazing potentialities.  These potentialities are commensurate to the height of the basic vibratory rates of the two between whom the circuit flows and to the amount of energy generated by their love, each for the other.  Not uncommonly those in love experience the blend of forces which if unbroken develops into this current.  Some also are aware that such a current is in existence.  But, as it belongs chiefly to the inner plane of life, mental discords tend to break it, and physical sensations tend to dissolve it.

It must be cultivated if it is to persist; and that cultivation must be along the line of developing and maintaining intense and tender love, each for the other.  Grosser feelings and passion will effectually destroy this fine belt, or ribbon.  It is sensitive to all lower expressions, and thrives on feelings which relate more to spiritual states than to those physical.

Selfishness, portrayed by the giant Typhon, is so restrictive in its influence that when it is present even in minor degree, and even when not related to the object of affection, it tends to destroy this endless belt of love.  To maintain it those whose love has reached a plane where it can form such a ribbon of spiritual potentiality must expand their affections to embrace all creatures.  The desire to destroy another, to deprive another of that which is justly his, or to in any way cause suffering to any living thing, tends to disrupt this fine ribbon by which the loving souls are joined.  The knot where the ribbons uniting the two Fishes are tied represents the Ego which is common to both souls, and which is the eternal spark of Deity by which they are energized  Thus the two souls and their Ego form a distinct system, which when so organized becomes a true spiritual cell in the cosmic body.  Such a soul-mate system, or spiritual cell, has a distinctive form on the inner planes; and when made permanent is commonly referred to as an angel.  It then no longer belongs to four dimensional existence, but by virtue of its new capabilities is typical of the truly spiritual, or five-dimensional plane.

The two souls comprising the angel do not lose their identity; no more so than Venus and Mars lose their identity because they both belong to the solar system.  Liberty of action on the part of each soul is still retained; but before they are thus permanently united in a single five-dimensional form - as the two Fishes with their ribbon have a single form and yet each Fish has wide liberty of action - they must have come into a realization of their Cosmic work.

We may be sure, therefore, that those capable of uniting through the endless belt of finer energies that ultimately will provide the form of such an angel, will not have diverse or conflicting interests.  Such divergent interests, through centering the mind strongly on different things, tends to disrupt or dissipate the endless belt of energy flowing between two people.  Where the interests are, or an objective of attainment, in that direction the finer energies tend to flow.  That is, the energies flow wherever the attention is directed.  But when the interests of both are centered on the same things there is no dividing of the energy stream, and the forces of both flow along a single channel.  This strengthens the bond between them.

The conditions which are most favorable, when the natural requirements are present, for strengthening the endless belt of finer energies between those who are deeply in love, are the desire to be as helpful and beneficial to all creatures as possible, having a common work by which this is chiefly accomplished, and the cultivation of tenderness and sympathy one for the other.

Neptune, the upper-octave planet ruling Pisces, is idealistic in his expression.  Therefore, those who cultivate this highest expression of love on earth find it advantageous to idealize all they do.  Whatever they do which they feel to be worthy, in the doing they keep the image of their loved one before them and feel that they are doing that thing, not because of duty, but for the sake of the other one.  All that is accomplished is thus done for love.  And the love motive becomes so powerful, under such cultivation, that hardships are not recognized as such, all life is filled with joy, and great accomplishment results.

The joy coincident with the establishment of the endless belt of love is only a small feature of its advantage; for its power to accomplish, working from the four-dimensional plane when loving and constructive thoughts are carried by it, is truly amazing.  Herein lies a force which makes Faith, even of the size of a mustard seed, able to move mountains.

LOVE is the Tree of Life, and its Fruit is Universal Brotherhood.

NEW MOON ECLIPSE NOVEMBER 2012 - USA

DATA:  Nov. 13, 2012 @ 5:09 P.M., EST - Washington, D.C.

The Full Moon Eclipse in Scorpio falls into a packed 6th house along with Venus, Saturn and the North Node.  The crisis we have all been expecting looms ever closer.

The 6th house describes the circumstances surrounding the Scorpio influence...a/k/a environmental atmosphere.  On a material level, the sign Scorpio is about money gained or lost through the resources of others:  inheritance, income tax, social security, retirement funds, workers' compensation, insurance settlements.  It is the sign ruling debt.  On a spiritual level the essence of Scorpio is transformation.  Reverberating from the 22nd degree, healing and regenerative processes will undoubtedly be stimulated by sensitivity to the emotional environment (pained by human suffering).

The 6th house is the arena in which the Scorpionic influence will play out:  daily routine, duties, service, occupation...computers and places where records are stored; trade unions; the working class in general; service workers, police and firefighters, civil service and public servants, armed forces, public health and the nation's food reserves, especially grains.

On the subject of eclipses, astrologer Robert Carl Jansky wrote:

"The keywords to apply to the delineation of an eclipse are  emphasis and crisis.  The eclipse tends to emphasize matters in relation to the house in which it falls in the horoscope.  The eclipse tends to bring matters related to this house to a crisis stage during its period of effect.  The word "crisis" is not a malefic word, if you look it up in your dictionary.  It simply means that you are required by events in your life to devote more time, attention and energy to some matter(s) than usual."

The breakdown is upon us.  Bear in mind that water storage is more important than food, especially if your survival preps lean heavily on rice and beans.  In addition to this major staple, make room on your shelves for food such as sprouts, they use little water in comparison, can be stored for 3 years, can be grown in a jar in a few days, provide fresh greens, and are packed with nutrition.  A good water filter is your best friend (I have had four; by trial and error have found Berkey to be the best of the best).

Venus is in her rulership in Libra, separating from a trine to 1st house Jupiter.  Alas, Jupiter is retrograde; it promises much and delivers little but disappointment.

Get thee glass eyes, And, like a scurvy politician,

seem To see the things thou dost not.

ELECTION 2012 - USA

DATA:  November 6, 2012 @ 7 A.M., EST- Washington, D.C.

The chart is cast for when the polls open in D.C.

The First House or Ascendant in a mundane chart reflects the country and its inhabitants, its general condition of prosperity and health - or the reverse.

An interesting degree of Scorpio rises - the 18th - of which astrologer Adriano Corelli says:  "..an absolute lack of autonomy, a life weighed down by an excess of sloth...Courage to act openly is conspicuous by its absence, and there is just enough courage to bear the consequences of one's flippant fickleness or follies and to accept any sacrifice.  This sets the tone for the day.

Ascendant rulers Mars and Pluto hold forth in the 2nd house, Mars in Sagittarius separating from an opposition to retrograde Jupiter, and Pluto the Apex of a Cardinal T-Square, commanding the energies of Venus opposition Uranus.  The picture that is painted by Mars/Jupiter is one of financial excess.  As Jupiter falls into the 7th house, said excess stems from foreign countries seeking to steer the election to the person who will grant to them the most favors, such as engaging in a war they do not prefer to undertake by themselves.  Mars in the 2nd house also depicts the outflow of the nation's wealth, thus, prosperity is a thing of the past for most Americans.  The T-Square describes the condition of the citizens as being...a bit tense...and well they should be, considering wealthy foreigners are attempting to control the selection process.

The incumbent is shown by the 10th house, Leo on the Midheaven, ruler Sun posited in the 12th house of subversion and things done in secret.  The Sun is separating from a square to the 9th house Moon, indicating the peril to the people which this person created in his successful attempts to torpedo our constitutional rights.  

The republican challenger is shown by the 4th house, Aquarius on the cusp, ruler Saturn posited in the 12th house...yep, subversion and things done in secret.  The 27th degree on the cusp of the 4th, as defined by E.C. Matthews (paraphrased):  Usually successful at what is undertaken. 

A retrograde Neptune occupies the 4th house trine Saturn and sextile Pluto.  The challenger shall win (there are other astrological indications) however, what we have been told by this person is not what we are going to get.  And as Mercury turns retrograde in motion at 5:58 p.m., prior to the polls closing in D.C. at 8 p.m., what we get will not be apparent for a few weeks...probably not until Mercury turns direct in motion on November 26th as it conjoins the Ascendant of this chart.  And what we get will not benefit the United States or Americans because comparing this challenger's horoscope to that of the USA, it discloses that he has eight negative aspects compared to four positive aspects interacting with the United States.  

THE DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY THAT WILL BE WROUGHT:

His Sun opposition USA Neptune...the courts, foreign policies and all 9th house matters will become a blind spot...unclear in his direction...it may place him and the country in embarrassing situations

DAMAGE:

His Sun square USA Mars in the 7th house...foreign affairs, war, open enemies, allies...if we had any.  Along with the previous Sun/Neptune aspect, this creates a T-Square with Mars at the Apex...meaning a foreign war monger will be calling the shots.

DAMAGE:

His Moon opposition USA Moon...the people and 3rd house matters such as 1st Amendment rights to free speech

DAMAGE:

His Mercury inconjunct USA Saturn...the nation's prestige...not that we have much left

DAMAGE:

His Mars square USA Uranus...the military and all 6th house matters...the destruction will likely be the death of the nation's young due to war

DAMAGE:

His Jupiter square USA Moon...lack of ethical values regarding the people and all 3rd house matters

DAMAGE:

His Neptune square USA Sun...deceptive qualities, shifting sands and a lack of trust regarding the nation's conscious purpose and its basic identity.  "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more.  It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Macbeth...Shakespeare

FULL MOON OCTOBER 2012 - USA

DATA:  October 29, 2012 @ 3:59 P.M. - Washington, D.C.

Taurus places focus on values and practical objectives.  The 2nd house in which the Moon is placed zeros in on money and movable property:  attitudes toward wealth and property.

We identify by placing a value on something.  The more we value it, the more we identify it as part of ourselves.  We are then attached to the item we value.  Security comes only when that which we value is not endangered.

The Moon is exalted in Taurus, where it brings out the easy flow of emotions and grounds them...a fine time to enjoy a massage.  A Taurus lunation may bring to our attention personal financial gains or losses, or we may have to purchase or sell movable possessions.  The trend may very well affect our economic outlook so we must be ready to grasp financial opportunities. 

Or the main message of this Full Moon may be to safeguard our resources: savings accounts, checkbook, CDs, pension plans and financial documents...most especially because Pluto in Capricorn in the 10th house of government reconciles the opposition of Moon and Sun...meaning the energy of the lights and their monetary meaning will be easily taken over by Plutocrats.  Examine that which you value and how you wish to preserve it.  Please take heed of this warning ASAP.

SATURN'S INGRESS INTO SCORPIO - USA

DATA:  October 5, 2012 @ 4:34 PM EDT - Washington, D.C.

This essay has been rather difficult to write.  It will be unpleasant to read.  Nevertheless, it is offered to assist in your survival and those of your loved ones, for knowledge is power.

This Ingress chart depicts the influence of Saturn in Scorpio on the United States of America for a little more than the next two years.  Saturn falls into the 8th house of death and transformation; both literal death and psychological evolution will be encountered, as the nation will be involved in a battleground of constant crises, for the 8th is primarily a house of crisis...a house of purging and purifying.  Whatever has outgrown its usefulness will be removed from our lives, quite often harshly.  In its stead we will be granted a new kind of freedom. 

Saturn, the Grim Reaper in Scorpio, the realm of death, in the 8th of Medicare means a panel will be formed during the course of this transit that will restrict disease-care for elders, leading to suffering and eventually death, for those so chosen.  With Libra on the cusp of the 8th house and its ruler Venus sextile Saturn, morticians will not be among the unemployed.

Accountability is a Saturn function, the 8th house and Scorpio govern debt, taxes, insurance, and entitlements.  Americans will be forced to come to grips with the deficit...the need for austerity is in our immediate future, although it will be selective, as intimated by the new death-care mandates.  While living in the physical universe we need attachments such as money to function effectively.  Over time these attachments cease to support us and instead burden us.  The function of Saturn in the 8th house will motivate us to shed what is holding us back from spiritual and mental regeneration; in most cases it will be done through external circumstances.

There is Mutual Reception between Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn.  They are also in sextile aspect to one another, making their influence less difficult than would occur with a challenging aspect between them.  A rose among the thorns.  Mutual Reception occurs when two planets relate by being in the sign ruled by the other.  They tend to benefit each other through mutual aims, which in the case of these two planets means malevolence and manipulation.  Opportunities will be provided via the sextile aspect.  With Pluto in the 11th house manipulation will come from the legislative branches...those folks whom Americans thought represented the welfare of their constituents...while malevolence will express through avenues such as medicare, medicade, stealth euthanasia, the public's money, and inheritance taxes.   

The conjunction of Saturn and Mercury reconciles the Neptune/Venus opposition, as does Pluto.  That means the tremendous energies of the opposition will naturally flow to either Saturn/Mercury in Scorpio or to Pluto in Capricorn...or equally to both.  The result will be technological advances (Capricorn) by pharmaceutical companies (Neptune) to develop new biotech products that may add longevity to life...and because Pisces, from whence Neptune expresses, is a dual sign, the pharmaceutical companies will also develop new medical (read toxic) drugs to 'assist' those people who have been deemed unworthy of health care in their journey into the next life. 

This is the agenda that must be avoided if you wish to survive.  The first step, if you haven't already done so, is to learn everything you need to know in order to eat intelligently so that you can maintain a healthy body.  And then teach what you have learned to your loved ones.

"And thus I clothe my naked villany

With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,

And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."

King Richard III

NATURAL HEALING FOR PLANETARY STRESS

If everyone has been paying attention you will have noticed that over the past few months the lunations have been projecting ever increasing stress to earth dwellers. The heavens not only map what is to occur on the mirror of earth, they also map recourse to difficult times.  

Stress is the province of Uranus, the Awakener.  Under the square from Pluto, in effect until March 2015, we are being buffered by the winds of change, being forced to confront inner and outer reality so that spiritual growth will result in an evolutionary explosion.  This essay will address how to cope, understanding that stress describes our reactions to physical, mental, or emotional stimulus causing an upset to the body's natural balance.

There are a number of alternative methods which can be implemented to maintain our bodies in balance...we do not necessarily have to rely on only one.  Uranus has rulership over, and therefore affects, the nervous system, therefore, that is where healing methods shall focus. 

HERBS:  An excellent tea to keep nerves healthy is a combination of OATSTRAW and STINGING NETTLE herbs.  An easy method of having this combo on hand at all times is to make it in the evening by putting two tablespoons each of dried herb in a quart Mason jar, pouring boiling water to nearly the top of the jar, and then covering immediately.  Let it steep on the counter overnight.  In the morning, strain and drink a cupful, refrigerating the remainder for use during the day.  Make a fresh batch each evening.

GINSENG helps strengthen the systems of the body, thereby making handling of stress easier each time it is confronted, preventing loss of nutrients and maintaining the effectiveness of the immune system.

VALERIAN acts as a tranquilizer by affecting the central nervous system, without the side effects of its copycat toxic drug, Valium.  It is used as an antispasmodic, stress reducer, sleep aid, and in olden times as an antidote to the plague and in the treatment of epilepsy. Best method of taking it is via tincture...a dropperful in an ounce of water when needed. 

PASSIONFLOWER has a slightly narcotic effect and is used as a tranquilizer to treat tension (stress), fatigue, insomnia, and muscle spasms.  Best method of taking it is via tincture...a dropperful in an ounce of water when needed.

From time to time when I suffer a hard case of insomnia, I gain relief by mixing a dropperful of Valerian and a dropperful of Passionflower in a little water and drinking an hour before bedtime.

CHAMOMILE reduces stress with its gentle healing properties.  Best use is via a cup of tea when needed.

ESSENTIAL OILS and AROMATHERAPY:

LAVENDER essential oil effectively reduces anxiety and irritability while promoting relaxation...it is a fine stress reliever.  Either use in a diffuser, make a dream pillow, or put a drop on the edge of your pillowcase prior to bedtime.

GERANIUM essential oil is relaxing, sedative, tonic, and an anti-depressant, excellent for aiding the nervous system.  It opens the Solar Plexus Chakra and may help to discharge toxins from the liver that prevent emotional balance.  Massage two drops mixed with a carrier oil into the bottoms of both feet.

  

SANDALWOOD essential oil is a sedative, tonic, and an anti-depressant that brings emotional balance by relieving nervous tension...it has a calming effect.  Massage two drops mixed with a carrier oil into the bottoms of both feet.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES:  To take flower remedies, add two drops of the essence to a few ounces of water and slowly sip...or take up to four drops from the dropper throughout the day as needed.

RESCUE REMEDY:  The ultimate in stress, tension, and anxiety relief, it is a blend of five Flower Essences: Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum, Rock Rose and Clematis.  Taken whenever you feel uptight and/or tense it can usually restore balance.

BEECH:  The remedy to take if you tend toward being easily irritated or have a rigid mental outlook.

GENTIAN:  Eases and gives relief of nervous tension, a negative outlook, depression, and those suffering a long-term illness.

VITAMINS and MINERALS:  The use of supplements will also grant benefits, most particularly Vitamin B supplements and the mineral Magnesium.  As to the latter, Magnesium oil or gel - a saturated solution of magnesium chloride in a water base - that is rubbed on various body parts and absorbed through the skin works faster than oral supplements.  Massaging Magnesium oil into the skin reduces stress and sore/stiff muscles by increasing the level of magnesium into the bloodstream.  The oil or gel is absorbed into the skin very quickly, leaving no oily residue.  Stress depletes magnesium and like Vitamin B6, magnesium is needed for serotonin production, an imbalance of which leads to depression.
