July 2010

July begins with more intensity with energy relating around the Lunar Eclipse (6/25) your words & actions could get you into a 'situation' for the first few days. Keep in mind you can not take back your words!! Think before you speak. Your actions can align with your thinking; unfortunately, your minds are not quite as reliable as we might hope - so use care in your choices. 

July 4 - Last quarter Moon - Aries In some cases, obstacles appear between one's emotions & one's sense of personal identity due to the square aspect of Sun-Moon. Moon Aries = moody, possibility manifesting energy. Dropping problems with the ego becomes the KEY to the key to this Moon. You can not change stubbornness, selfishness of others. Simply let it go enjoy & be yourself! 

July 5 - Uranus Stations Retrograde (SR) 0 Aries @ 12:49 pm & will remain there till 12/5. Uranus - planet representing revolution, chaos, explosive energies, sudden changes. Retrograde (Rx) the influence of Uranus teaches us to handle uncertainty, particularly internal chaos. Many aspects of chaos & volatile or abrupt energies, & inspires the need for change & breakthroughs in the pursuit of freedom. This Rx cycle is for humanity to examine their revolutionary practices in order to make breakthroughs in the long run. Personally during this period be sure to set a standard for a certain degree of freedom in your life, so that you can stop & smell the roses through Summer & into Autumn. DO NOT let this time get by you with out kicking up your heals...CLAIMING your freedom is a good thing!! 

July 11 - NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE (SE) 19 Cancer 24 @ 3:40 pm Time to make a new Lunar Manifestation List. Sun is a symbol for self, is obscured, so it isn't easy to see ourselves. Eclipse in Cancer, family or people who are like family are emphasized. This doesn't mean we should be dependent, but rather let our loved ones be a crutch to lean on while you are healing. Good time to get things organized. "Cleaning out your closet" excellent time to clear things out. You may have the feeling to streamline things. There is a possibility for explosive arguments, especially when people won't back down form their positions. This occurs near the 
S. Node = emotions can be a trap & you must be careful not to be moody or succumb to viability. (Influences from SE last for 6 months or until the next SE - although they can carry on energies for a long time) 

July 23 - Jupiter SRx 3 Aries 24 @ 8:03 am & will remain there till 11/18. For the next 4 months you may feel less optimistic & expansive, needing to rein ourselves in & stay grounded. Some will experience backsliding or difficulties in the areas of higher education, travel, media, promotion & legal affairs. Re-examine your philosophies. Try to create your OWN LUCK rather than to wait for breaks from other people or opportunities. 

July 24 - Jupiter (3 Ar) Square Pluto (3 Cp) Will square again on 8/3 & 2/25/11. This aspect is in effect within a one degree orb from 7/5 to August 22, with the most difficult tine 8/8-9, when other planets are in the mix. It is difficult to push your agenda. Individual efforts & desires can be thwarted by bigger outside factors. The pace of progress is jerky around the times of this aspect, marked by all-at- once bursts interspersed with near stagnation. 

July 25 - Full Moon (FM) 3 Aquarius @ 9:37 pm Time to Burn your Lunar Manifestation List. Today begins with vibrant energy until the Moon will be Void of Course (VoC) from 10:20 am till 3:38 pm. VoC Capricorn Moon = likely to bring some serious & determined moods stifled by idleness or uncertainty. Any activity during this VoC period will have no effect, like it never happened - not a good time to start project or sign documents may have to redo. As Moon moves into Aq enlivens your senses with need to apply clarity & definition. The mood of the day is likely to be blanketed in bizarre & unusual occurrences, and it's often idealistic & generous in some respects. It may seem to be out-of-hand & downright unrealistic to others. This is a good time to investigate, play around with ideas, seek answerers, invent, reinvent & celebrate knowledge. 

July 31 - Beginning 7/31 Mercury moved into it's shadow period for the approaching retrograde. Everyone is feeling the retrograde energies Venus & Mars are the only planets not in Rx patterns. We are still in the "dog days" of summer! Lots of friction, feelings of rush except when it comes to being 'picky' then individuals take their time. You maybe 
trying to figure out how to protect your own interests. Relationships strained, maybe even coming to close. 
*** Just know we are in a period of major change. *** 

August 2010

from May Celestial Timings 

The North Node in Aries brings us into the thick of the nineteen year Lunar Standstill or Lunar Extreme when the moon makes its widest deviations from the celestial equator (the due east-west line projected from horizon to horizon across the sky). All this year (and last year and next), twice a month when the moon is near 0° Cancer and 0° Capricorn, it rises and sets much farther north or south than normal (at greater than 23.5E declination).

Ancient peoples from around the world built monuments, practiced ceremony, and gathered in community every nineteen years to witness this dramatic phenomenon at Full Moon (during Winter and Summer Solstice). In healthy community, social structures are periodically updated to meet evolving realities. The Lunar Standstill seems to correspond with this wave pattern when we *dream the dream forward.* Every 26,000 years, as now, the *out-of-bounds* moons align with Galactic Center and Galactic Anti-center, the most intense axis of evolutionary pressure that we know, an alignment that the sun never precisely makes because Galactic Center lies 5.5 degrees off the ecliptic.

At the turn of the 21st century, the questions around healthy structures for the ongoing survival of humanity have taken on intense and catastrophic overtones*with global warming, toxic oceans, troubling genetic experimentation, over- population, rare and virulent disease, and the potential for total collapse of the social-economic order. And yet, there is reason for hope, for the information that is seeded during these lunar extremes is an answer to the huge challenges we face. From the highest perspectives, galactic intelligence is giving us the information we need to come into a profound state of harmony as a planet.

Those on the front lines of this Cancer/Capricorn work are receiving all new information and inspiration, and being called to step up and lead the way to human planetary wholeness at perhaps higher octaves than since the dawn of consciousness on this planet.

Also, June 11 the Full Moon will be at its greatest declination or extreme (to the south) all year. But this is covered by this powerful Plutonian umbrella, an energy magnified tremendously by Jupiter in Scorpio, the fact that Mars and Venus only meet in the Underworld this Mars/ Venus cycle (conjunct Sun) and a rare 8th Venus gate (shamanic death-by-intent initiation) at Fall Equinox that will feature the virtually invisible moon occulting Venus in the hour before dawn!!

The Ophiuchus Stargate, which is also called Asklepius, is being activated big time as I am writing this article on August 13, 2005. It started being activated on August 8 as the Sirian Lion gate opened. That gate will be closing soon, but the Asklepius Stargate will be staying open for a long time.

The Asklepius Stargate first opened at the time of the Harmonic Concordance on November 8, 2003 when the planets formed a Star of David in the heavens. This Stargate has nine openings to it in various parts of the Pacific Northwest, and it connects with 17 other Stargates around the world. You could liken the Stargates to doorways to another dimension.

Asklepius is the thirteenth sign of the zodiac and the Sun starts moving through that sign around Halloween each year. One of the symbols of Halloween is the Spider. The Hopi honor their creator goddess whom they call the Spider Woman.

The symbol for Asklepius is a person holding a snake (kundalini) in their hand with two feet on the elliptic. The Sun activates the first leg on the elliptic around Halloween, and the second leg in December each year. It is a divided sign.

A story from NASA says that every year in early December, something happens that can throw your horoscope out of whack. The sun enters Ophiushus (Asklepius), the little-known thirteenth sign of the zodiac. Modern astronomers don't divide the sky the same way ancient astronomers did.

According to modern star maps, the sun cuts through a thirteenth constellation between November 30 and December 17. Astrologically speaking, if you were born between those dates you're no longer a Sagittarian, you're an Asklepian. If you were born around Halloween you are also an Asklepian.

When the Sun enters the zodiac's thirteenth house an interstellar wind hits our planet. It's a helium-rich breeze from the stars, flowing into the solar system from the direction of Asklepius. The Sun's gravity focuses the material into a cone and Earth passes through it during the first weeks of December. I wonder what kind of effect that breeze has on us.

The announcement of a new planet on July 29, 2005 started a whole new era. It ushers in the permanent Stargate for the thirteenth sign of the zodiac. This planet was first discovered in 2003, maybe around the time of the Harmonic Concordance. The planet is called Lila (Lily) and rules the sign of Asklepius. It is larger than Pluto. Astrologers have known about this planet for a long time and have called it Trans-pluto. When Pluto was first discovered it ushered in the age of atomic power. Astrologers also know about the planet Vulcan, which orbits so close to the Sun that it can't be seen by the naked eye. It's on such a high frequency that it is basically invisible.

Our solar system now has twelve recognized planets. They are: Mars, Earth, Mercury, Chiron, Vulcan, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Lila makes twelve. The Sun makes thirteen. We are now complete. I think the String Theory should be revised to thirteen dimensions instead of eleven because the Sun vibrates to the number thirteen. Greg Braden says that when we reach the frequency of 13 hertz, a whole new era starts.

I've heard that creation was created by the number thirteen or the flower of life, which is six lilies along with seven circles. It's interesting that the number thirteen has had such a bad rap for all of these years. Some buildings don't even have a floor numbered thirteen. Among the American Indians number thirteen is held in great reverence. The Indians of Yucatan also hold thirteen in high esteem, as their Snake Divinities are thirteen in number. They have a ceremony that takes place in a city hidden deep in the mountains. The body of a white priestess, said to be in a state of suspended animation, is brought out from its crypt and carried in a magnificent procession and shown to all the people.

The legend concerning this ceremony is that ages ago, before the Mayas reached the zenith of their glory, there came to them a white child who had remarkable psychic and prophetic powers. She was said to have come from "Over the mountains" and as the city was surrounded by inaccessible peaks, the appearance of such a child was considered miraculous. The priests still declare that the Priestess-Queen will some day return and restore the glory of the kingdom. This planet Lila announces the new kingdom.

In mystic circles, the menstrual flower has long been the designated flower of life and is represented as a lily. The name Lila (Lily) was the name of a Nibiru goddess. The Grail lineage comes through this Dragon race. The key females of the Dragon succession were all venerated as lilies, having such names is Lili, Luluwa, Lilith, Lilutu and Lillette.

The Realm of the Ring Lords is all about the Holy Grail and the Royal Bloodline of the female queens. It's interesting that the long awaited production of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" opened Sunday August 7 in Seattle to a sold out crowd. The music (tone) of the opera is hitting the air waves of Seattle and setting up a new vibration. The vibration of the Ring Lords. There are major events going on all month in regard to these operas. There is also a free radio broadcast every Saturday night until September 3 on KING-FM at 7:00 PM.

The Ring lore has interested people since the books were first published in the fifties. Those books have been the best selling books in history, although I think the Harry Potter series may be challenging that status right now.

A fraudulent document was forged in the year 751 called the Donation of Constantine and was brought into play by Pope Zachary, who saw his opportunity not only to depose the Merovingians of the Messianic strain, but to bring the kings and queens of Christendom under papal control for all time. In order to gain Roman Church supremacy in the spiritual domain, the Donation provided a security of mastership in the political arena. Various nations became subordinate to a Church which had designated itself to be the supreme Sovereign State. It was this Donation which facilitated the final move in overthrowing the Merovingians so that the Church could implement its new style of papal kingship with the Carolingian dynasty.

It was the device by which the Roman Church reverted political power to itself after the collapse of the Roman Western Empire, enabling the bishops to introduce the newly styled Holy Roman Empire under the control of the Pope. In other words the true grail lineage had to go underground.

The Pope still controls the world, but the most powerful man in the world is Count Hans Kolvenbach, the Jesuit general. The Vatican bank is the central control of the banking system of the world, and the Temple Bank in England is second in line.

One of the most important power points, or Stargates, on Earth is in Glastonbury England. This area lines up with a point in space that holds twenty seven galaxies in place and is a black hole large enough to hold five billion suns. The dark side took control of this Stargate. They took it away
from the rightful owners, and they also took over the true Grail lineage. This energy will change when the money system is transformed and their power is broken.

The Stargate that was just activated also connects with that area in England. The total solar eclipse that occurred on August 11, 1999 was over England, and it was on 18 degrees Leo. This is the degree of Christ Consciousness.

The planets formed a fixed cross in the heavens at that time. There is another fixed cross in the heavens right now (August 12-13) with the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Leo, Mars in Taurus, Neptune is Aquarius, and the moon in Scorpio. That original eclipse is again being activated.

If we all focus on sending love and light to the Glastonbury plain during September, and at the time of the fall equinox, or September 21, we might be able to break the hold of the dark side. If we can break this cycle, the controllers will fall.

Constance Demby will be in England at that time playing her beautiful music. I'm sure that will help break the control because her music is on a very high frequency. Check out her web site. It is www.ConstanceDemby.comor Constancetours.com.

It's time for the rightful heirs of the Grail Dynasty to take their place in the scheme of things. Our creator Goddess has returned, and she is being announced by the recognition of the planet called Lila. The spirit of Mary Magdalene now covers the face of the Earth. So Be It!

I send you my Blessings!

I know we were all devastated by the huge loss of life on 12/26/04 from the terrible Tsunami Tidal Wave, triggered by a massive under-ocean earthquake off the Western coast of Sumatra.

I followed the news closely, and, as an Astrologer, tried very hard to get the pertinent data. I checked several sources, and got conflicting Times and Locations, so I am including 3 of the charts with this article.

Chart #1 is based on information I gleamed from the news media, using a town on the West Coast of Sumatra for my coordinates. Chart #2 is from the AFA, and Chart #3 was supplied by Dikki-Jo Mullen, from Marianne Payton. As you can see, the planetary positions are essentially the same, but the degrees on the House Cusps are different.

The first thing I looked at were the Aspects; the Earthquake occurred shortly before the Full Moon, with the transiting Moon @ 27 Gemini, approaching the opposition to the Sun @ 4 Capricorn 33. Full Moons, as we know, always contribute to massive movement of the waters of the world, such as the tides.

As the Moon moved into 0 Cancer, (a "Critical" degree"), it formed an Inconjunct aspect to Mars @ 0 Sag 4; this Mars is also square Uranus @ 3 Pisces 41. Transiting Saturn Rx @ 25 Cancer is approaching an Inconjunct aspect to Pluto @ 22 Sag 30; as we know, the Inconjunct aspect indicates sudden, unexpected happenings. Mars, Saturn and Pluto are all three "Malefic" planets, with Mars representing violent action; Saturn represents the Planet Earth, and Pluto, of course, is the natural 8th House ruler, the House of Death.

In the book "Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology", by Vivian Robson, first published in 1923 in Great Britain, he gives the following interpretations. Mars is conjunct the Fixed Star "Isidis" @ 1 Sag 27; "Sudden assaults; malevolence; sudden, violent death". Saturn is conjunct the Fixed Star "Procyon" @ 24 Cancer 41; "Sudden, violent malevolence; disaster." Uranus is conjunct two fixed stars, "Fomalhauf" @ 2 Pisces 44; "Powerful; malevolence of misfortune; fatally injured. And also "Deneb Adige" @ 4 Pisces 14; "Destructiveness; Sorrow; Life or death."
In the chart I constructed from the news accounts, Jupiter and Saturn are both in Angular Houses, in a wide square to each other. Jupiter always "expands" the situation, whether for good or evil.

With a disaster of this proportion, you would expect Angular planets, but, of course, this is the chart of the Earthquake, not the Tsunami, which occurred approximately 2 hours later.

In the AFA chart, Saturn and Neptune are both in Angular Houses; the same with Marianne Payton's chart, which is using 0 hour GMT. If you are interested in doing further research on this disaster, perhaps these charts could be helpful to you.

Celestial Message Bearer For The New Millennium By Dikki-Jo Mullen

The remote wilderness of the solar system has just tossed astrologers a wild card. Sedna, a tenth planet, has put in a surprise appearance in recent months. Twinkling near the constellation Cetus (the Whale) and shadowing bright Venus in March of 2004, Sedna first waved to humanity as a whole during a transit through the zodiac sign of Taurus. Three times as far from the Sun as Pluto is Sedna corresponds with the New Millennium's many upsets and changes.

For thousands of years astrologers have comforted and counseled while charting the orbits of the visible planets. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn along with the all important luminaries, the Sun and Moon, link to the heroic figures of myth. These familiar heavenly guides provided solace and insight concerning the mysteries and challenges that are the reality of life on Earth. Over the past three hundred years, just yesterday considering astrology's extensive history, planets much further away, called The Outer Planets, have one by one become known to us. As this occurred the scope of life on Earth also widened. During the 1700's something started to happen. The reservoir of available technology, political conditions, science and overall scope of life began to widen. Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity and the rise of democracy began with the American and French Revolutions. Uranus was discovered. These events are all Uranian in nature.

During the 1800's, the next century, Neptune was first observed. The conquest of the seas began with the development of more sophisticated ships and early diving apparatus. Chemicals and medicines were developed which impacted life forever. The rise of psychology as a science and the popularity of the Spiritualist faith changed perspectives. All of these events relate to the astrological significance of Neptune. Then, in the 20th Century, Pluto was discovered. In 1930, between the World Wars, this distant planet extended the fringes of the solar system. Pluto marked the beginning of the Atomic Age. Population growth and life extension as well as alternative power sources further transformed life on Earth. Massive population growth made ecology and unemployment issues.

Somehow scientists were inspired to give the new planets the proper mythological correspondences to describe their roles in horoscopes. It also became evident that as humanity evolved enough to respond to new forces the new planets would come into our view. In 1977 Chiron, dubbed a planetoid because of its minute size, was discovered. Named for the teacher of Achilles, Chiron seemed to link to new frontiers in education and the extension of the mind through computer technology. A moon of Pluto, called Bacchus or TransPluto by stargazers, was observed around the same time. It was related vaguely to hope and survival.

Now we have seen another neighbor. On November 14 of 2003 several astronomers shared the exciting news with the scientific community. The event was to remain a semi-secret to the general public for several more months. A new planet appeared, revealing that our solar system extends much further than we had ever imagined. Dubbed Sedna, the planet was publicly announced on March 15, 2004 at 1:22 am GMT. News programs around the world that evening broadcasted diagrams and photographs of deep space. The star of the day is a mysterious and shiny red planet with an eccentric orbit. Sedna is the largest object to be found circling our Sun since Pluto's discovery in 1930. It takes 10, 500 years to complete a single transit around the Sun. Because of the elliptical path it traces, Sedna has not been this close to Earth since the dinosaurs were bowing out to the ice age. Sedna remains in a single zodiac sign for 900 to 1000 years. Scientists agree that little has changed on the face of this ancient one since the universe was formed. Sedna is very cold, with an estimated surface temperature of about 400 degrees below zero. The Sun must appear only as a pale star emitting little warmth or light from the planet's surface.

Sedna's messages are of great significance to the overall quality of life in our changing world. Universal and subtle more than individual and obvious, the new planet is a key to the collective consciousness of our time. Named for an Eskimo princess, the mythological tradition surrounding Sedna provides some hints about the specifics.

Sedna From The Arctic Circle Sea

Sedna's story is a haunting one, rich in love as well as tragedy. As a young Inuit Indian woman, Sedna married a mysterious shape-shifter. Actually a bird-spirit, her seductive suitor appeared to be something he was not. When the new husband became abusive. Sedna's father came to the rescue. Furious, the sorcerer created a storm. Afraid for his life, her father then threw Sedna into the sea. The beautiful young woman tried to get back into the boat, but her fingers were cut off. Her fingers became all of the sea creatures. Sedna became a one-eyed giant and sank further into the sea. Seals, whales, dolphins and all of the other animals which sustain life became her gift. Sedna is the sea's creative and nourishing mother force. Ruler of the souls of the dead, she will come when summoned through magic to have her beautiful hair braided in exchange for favors. A mermaid, half human-half animal, motif is hinted at here.

The event charts for the initial discovery of Sedna and the widespread media coverage provide some intriguing hints about what her message really is.

The element water is prominent. The November 14, 2003 chart shows a Scorpio Sun, Mars in Pisces and a Moon-Saturn conjunction in Cancer forming a grand trine in water. The discovery took place near the midpoint of the two eclipses of November 8 and November 23, 2003. A Venus-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius forms a mutable T-Square with Jupiter in Virgo and Mars in Pisces. Concern for water and other liquids is accented. Floods, droughts, and rising gas prices are examples. Conflicts in ideology, patriotism, women's' and children's' issues, life extension and fitness factors can all be linked to this pattern.

The Ides of March event chart for Sedna's news coverage has a grand trine in Earth. With the Capricorn Moon, Mars and Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Virgo both health and economic factors are described. Mercury in Aries is square Saturn in Cancer, the Sun and Uranus span Pisces. Unusually cold weather and spring snow storms, a prominent news story about efforts to rescue a rare white whale from a tangle of fishing line and the near miss from an asteroid passing only 27,000 miles away from the Earth all accompanied the Sedna stories.

The deeper cosmic significance of this cosmic crone's messages are just beginning to be revealed. Thinking of how much life has changed since Pluto's discovery almost seventy five years ago gives some measure of the scope of what is to come. Sedna provides a challenging and intriguing riddle for the astrologers of the future to think about for many years to come. A thought would be to consider a Taurus rulership, for she seems to another octave of Venus. Before 1930 Mars ruled both Aries and Scorpio. Those signs are quincunx. Libra and Taurus are also quincunx and both currently are ruled by Venus. Aries is oppose Libra and of course Scorpio and Taurus are in opposition. This seems to make an obvious point for a Sedna rulership over Taurus. Also the Moon is exalted in Taurus and rules watery Cancer. This would support Sedna's strong tie to the oceans, although she came originally from the land. Self sufficient and a survivor, she has a benevolent and forgiving quality.

Cosmic Calligraphy

Sedna does not yet have a glyph, but perhaps the snowy sea princess would like this one. Visualize an arrow, a harpoon, pointing upward at an angle. Two wavy lines are beneath it. The harpoon glides through the arctic waters in search of its goal. The rod is connective and authoritative. Topped by a spear point the a molding and reforming of physical matter is suggested. The wavy lines are adaptable and original combinations. An emblem of unity and a group awareness, the water flows and encompasses illustrating that everything is the same and everything is different.

“Jill Whitman, a Canadian astrologer from Toronto, has discovered an astrological configuration, set amongst the planets for October 1st of this year, which is then repeated on the 28th of that month, that shows dual patterns of near perfect FIVE-pointed stars, astrologically known as a Grand Quintile. Jill's research has found that five planets, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus and the Moon, occupy the positions at the points of the Pentacle on those dates. Both of these future moments provide a very significant and therefore continuing link, astrologically, to the Grand Sextile in the Concordance chart.”

The link to more information on this significant alignment (and other information) is no longer active.
