NEW MOON SEPTEMBER 2011 - USA


Data:  September 27, 2011 @ 7:10 a.m. EDT - Washington, D.C.

Cardinal signs are on the angles, indicating an immediate forward movement...the Cardinal T-Square with Pluto at the IC squaring both Sun, Moon and Uranus - the latter three planets in opposition - signals an immediate rough row to hoe.

The first New Moon after the Autumn Equinox falls in Libra.  Of this sign the astrologer/poet Manilius, in his epic Astronomica says: 

"Day and night are weighed in Libra's scales
  Equal awhile, at last the night prevails."

Posited on the 1st house cusp, the New Moon affects both 12th and 1st houses...the long suffering people will now do more than rant and rave.  When the reason and foresight for which Libra is known is negatively impacted - as it is by Uranus and Pluto in this chart - then we can expect rational thinking to go missing and the judgment for which Libra is also known to step up to the plate and turn its ire on those in power.

Of the New Moon on the 5th degree of Libra, astrologer Adriano Carelli states the symbol to be "An albatross with glaring red beak and claws."  He goes on to say:  "A winged, impulsive, enthusiastic nature full of lofty aspirations but impatient to see its dreams realized and chafing at obstacles.  Hence a tendency to impose one's will violently without an adequate psychological approach, overlooking and skipping the logical proofs of one's conviction and neglecting the cogent force of one's arguments.  This exuberance may give rise even to physical dangers; the native will have to check his gestures as well as his actions if he is to avoid harm from iron and fire, without, however, using violence to his own nature."

Pluto inconjunct 10th house Mars speaks to the financial stress (both planets ruling the 2nd house) being forced upon the public by an administration whose attitude about their suffering is rather casual...to wit:  The presidential dog is flown on a private jet to vacation in Maine...the president uses AF 1 to fly to New York City for "date night," estimated expense to the public over $240,000...first lady and 40 of her friends fly to Spain with accommodations costing approximately $2,500 a night x 60 rooms for a week of fun...and the frivolous squandering of U.S. tax dollars continues, while these big spenders of money not theirs ignore the suffering of the American public.

A motivating impulse is a 1st house matter and one must wonder if the lights are shining in this area at this time to wake up the citizens to the ruination of the average person's ability to provide for themselves, forcing them to become surfs to a government that will now provide just enough welfare for subsistence living.

I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you
Which shall be the darkness of God.  As, in a theatre,
The lights are extinguished for the scene to be changed.
With a hollow rumble of wings, with a movement of darkness on darkness,
And we know that the hills and the trees, the distant panorama
And the bold and imposing facade are all being rolled away---

East Coker by T.S. Eliot

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2011 - USA


Data:  September 23, 2011 @ 5:06 A.M. - Washington, D.C.

The chart is calculated for the United States of America. 


The chart cast for the Vernal Equinox always bears chief rule for the ensuing year; succeeding ingresses are subsidiary to the first-named.  From the chart of the Vernal Equinox posted on March 8, 2011, we found the focal point to be public health, the nation's food supply and armed forces, among other matters:

"SUN CONJOINED URANUS IN THE 6TH HOUSE puts emphasis on the nation's food supply, service workers, police and firefighters, civil service and public servants, armed forces, public health, and the working class in general.

The 6th house is one of crisis, which is to say the population will be required by events to devote more time, attention and energy to these matters than is usual."

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2011
Virgo Rises, ruler Mercury holding sway in the 1st house.  Virgo as a whole corresponds to the house of work, employment, and military conditions.  Opposed by retrograde Uranus, Mercury here  lends a tendency to jump to conclusions without examining all the facts.  This situation is complicated by Mercury's inconjunct to 6th house Neptune, which equates to unnecessarily overextending in the areas above mentioned.  In short, give little credence to unemployment statistics and beware military activity.

Neptune in the 6th house forms the Apex to a configuration known as a Yod, with inconjuncts to 11th house Mars and to 1st house Mercury/Sun.  There is underground activity and much energy being expended by the military, who are working quietly behind the scenes, who may or may not be able to effect a successful change of course with reference to those in legislative branches and the nation's people.  Of the 29th degree of Aquarius, astrologer Adriano Carelli notes the symbolism to be "A knight with a drawn sword," it's meaning: "An heroic degree, but its chivalrous character may degenerate into quarrelsomeness, or induce a destiny too bristling with frightful ordeals to be borne by human beings."

The Sun in Libra occupies the 1st house, close to the 2nd house cusp, opposing a retrograde Uranus in 8th house Aries and square Pluto in Capricorn in the 4th house, forming a Cardinal T-Square with Pluto at the Apex.  The empty leg of the T-Square falls into the 10th house of the chart, indicating that the action - including but not limited to the nation's selected leader - will play out on the USA national image and the government in particular. 

O! let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven;
Keep me in temper; I would not be mad!
King Lear, 1. 5

Some of the energy will be deflected through the Mars/Moon conjunction in Leo, and although it appears from perusing the chart that this combo is situated in the 11th house, the planets actually fall into the 12th house...secret plans will be afoot that may work against the playboy in office, who failed to bring the change for which his followers hoped. 

A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.
Guy Fawkes

A 1st house Sun in zero degrees (always the case at the equinox) and ruling the 12th house signifies a newcomer who arrives cloaked in the garment of clandestine affairs, a self-reliant male of military persuasion who assumes charge, without direction from others, involved in a hazardous undertaking denoting injury and/or death as Aries, natural ruler of the 1st house, is on the 8th house cusp.  This may describe the recently appointed director of the CIA, a former general in the U.S. Army, who has well distinguished himself during his military career.  The appointment of a military general as director of the Central Intelligence Agency blurs the lines between soldiers and spies in secret American missions abroad.  To what end?  For what purpose?

Within a little more than 24 hours after the equinox commences the Sun will move into the 2nd house: the nation's wealth and national treasury.  Will the new Militarized CIA (hereinafter to be known as MCIA) investigate the disappearance of 2.3 trillion dollars, said by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on the day prior to 9/11 to have been lost by the Pentagon?  Will the new MCIA investigate the origins of that amount of money which was more than was budgeted?  Because if the entire U.S. defense budgets from 1996 to 2001 were added up, it only amounts to approximately 1.6 trillion dollars.  So if there are roughly 700 billion dollars over the amount budgeted, from whence did it come?  Who has that kind of money to purchase a favor from the Pentagon?  Who in the Pentagon has betrayed the American public?    Will the new MCIA also investigate the situation, only two years later, when once again the Pentagon couldn't account for more than a trillion dollars in monies spent?  A Government Accounting Office report, circa 2003, found the Dept. of Defense inventory systems so lax that the U.S. Army lost track of 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units.

What colossal amount of unaccounted money are we up to now, about $4 trillion?  Cui bono?

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome.
Julius Caesar, 1. 1


WEATHER.  Sagittarius on 4th house cusp, ruler Jupiter retrograde in Taurus...Pluto in Capricorn in 4th house square Sun/Venus in Libra and retrograde Uranus in Aries.  Pluto trine ASC; Pluto trine Jupiter.

Pluto in Capricorn takes precedence in the weather in this chart as he is situated in the 4th house.  CAPRICORN is the sign of storms, of extreme cold, and of destructive floods and droughts.  Its influence is commonly toward low temperatures and in winter to temperatures so low as to be destructive of life.  It is the sign which, more than any other, brings blizzards.  It is a wet sign, tending toward floods, destructive snowstorms and hailstorms.  Unseasonable weather of all kinds come under its rule.

In his influence on temperature PLUTO is cool but not the extreme cold brought by Saturn and Uranus.  He is decidedly a violent planet, and his prominence tends to bring extreme conditions.  In his influence on air he tends to produce wind...combined with the square to Uranus, of a violent and destructive nature with the ability to produce storms of death and destruction.  With the square of Pluto to Uranus there is danger of electrical disturbances.

Jupiter in Taurus.  TAURUS, in its influence upon temperature, has a moderating influence.  In its influence upon air, Taurus tends to moderate weather and a still atmosphere.  In its influence upon moisture, Taurus tends towards wet weather.

JUPITER'S influence in relation to temperature is warm; where wind is concerned he conduces to pleasant breezes; where moisture is concerned, he tends to dryness and clear weather.

Thus, the country will experience unseasonable weather according to its usual patterns.

IN MEMORIAM: 9/11



Click on charts to enlarge.

In the Tropical System of Houses the Sun rides the cusp of the 12th house; in the Koch System of Houses, the Sun occupies the 12th house.  Therefore, this may be considered a 12th house event.

The Sun occupying the 12th house signifies an unfortunate event, one that is wrapped in clandestine affairs that hinges on ambush and allied to 11th house affairs, as Leo is on the cusp, confirmed by Venus, Ascendant ruler in Leo and the 11th house...thus, a large-scale event, unconventional and universal in scope, departing from the norm.

A Mutable T-Square with Sun at the Apex is formed with Pluto opposition Saturn squaring Sun, pouring its energies into the 6th house...a house of crisis...taking its toll on the working class.

The Moon - the functioning force - in 9th house Gemini is in the 3rd quarter, decreasing in light...the activity in this event works faster and requires less time to finish.  In the last ten degrees, the matter at hand has been long brewing.  She is Void of Course, a situation that would normally cause the matter to be dropped...but the parallel to Jupiter overrides the VOC and instead insures success.

The Moon is last over 9th house Saturn in Gemini, an indication that aviation and international events were of importance in a plan of a Saturnine nature and describes at least two people (Gemini) who were responsible for managing the dastardly deed...older people in an official capacity (Saturn).  The closest past aspect made by Saturn was an opposition to 3rd house Pluto in Sagittarius, emphasizing a plan that became a plot, involving a group that complicated matters that were already complicated, describing a person who took on a silent and detached position in the matter.  Under affliction as shown in this chart, Pluto is a malefic and represents those who have sunk to the depths.

Mercury describes an informer or agent in 1st house Libra (a sign that excels at taking the initiative in such a way that others don't have a clue) is trine 9th house Saturn, portraying deep thought and thoroughness in not only committing a monstrous act, but also in getting away with it.  Mercury sextile 3rd house Pluto lends concentration and focus that is intense, while Mercury's square to 9th house Jupiter speaks of foreign collusion.  Interestingly, Mercury in this chart conjoins the USA natal 10th house Saturn.

Pluto rules terroristic activities, Saturn rules terror...Saturn is in the 9th house of aviation co-ruling the 4th house (buildings)...Pluto, planet of demolition, is in the 3rd house of local environment...retrograde Neptune is posited in the 4th house (buildings), co-ruling the 6th of the U.S. trillion dollar Airforce, an airforce that never responded.  Let us examine why.

Pisces on the 6th house cusp of the U.S. military gives both Jupiter and Neptune as rulers.  The signs describe the atmosphere that surrounds environment.  Pisces signifies secret negotiations and espionage.  The planets signify things, people or conditions...the energies that are operating...what an event is all about.  Jupiter rules people of high status or national importance.  It is sextile the Sun, indicating that the father of the person in question is a wealthy man.  It is square Mercury, an indication of dishonesty in matters of war (Mercury in Libra, natural ruler of the 7th house of war).  Jupiter rules rituals so the person in question is influenced by them.  The Commander in Chief of U.S. Military Forces is the president of the United States.

Neptune is retrograde in the sign Aquarius, which signifies aviators.  The retrograde motion suggests a turning away from normal practice.  Neptune - the energies operating - denotes deception, subversion and sabotage.  Houses describe circumstances and so these were the circumstances surrounding the air force:  they were not instructed to "stand down," they were deceived into engaging in "Vigilant Guardian," an exercise that would pose an imaginary (Neptune) crisis to North American Air Defense outposts nationwide.

During the morning of 9/11 there were five U.S. sponsored war games taking place which paralyzed attempts to intercept planes.  Games are a 5th house matter...Aquarius on the cusp of the 5th house and retrograde Uranus therein fairly accurately describes the paralysis...co-ruler Saturn suggests the games were supervised by an elder.

The Secret Service, ruled by the 12th house, has legal authority to take supreme command over all agencies in the U.S. in time of national emergencies on U.S. soil.  Not only do they have the most advanced technological communication systems of any U.S. agency, on 9/11 they had the technology to observe FAA radar screens in real time.  Virgo is on the 12th house cusp, Sun in Virgo posited therein, and ruler Mercury in Libra in the 1st house...and we have the circumstances (Secret Service-house)...the atmosphere that surrounds environment (agents and members of the armed forces-sign)...and the energies that are operating (those in positions of leadership-planets).  Adding to the above, co-ruler of the Secret Service is Mercury in Libra, the sign that rules strategy and public enemies. 

 
Despite the fact that on 9/11 there was a legal mandate for the Commander in Chief to take command and to have full supreme control of the Air Force via the Secret Service communication systems, the Secret Service kept the president at Booker Elementary School in Sarasota County, Florida supposedly reading to the children about goats...but the book he held was upside down.  Ritual?  Goat of Mendes (Baphomet)?  Anyone conversant with the negative aspect of occultism - as opposed to the positive aspect - knows the meaning.

The president remained in the schoolroom for approximately seven minutes after being informed of the second attack.  As the  tragedy unfolded,  the Vice-President became acting Commander in Chief on 9/11, it was he who gave the Secret Service their orders.

Power was the motive: Venus, ruler of the 1st house is in Leo.  Power that the evil ones applied immediately in the form of the Patriot Act, rushed through congress 45 days after the 9/11 attacks, a direct assault on both the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, which guarantee Americans freedom of speech; freedom of religion, assembly and petition; the right of privacy under the Fourth Amendment protecting the population from unreasonable searches and seizures; due process and equal protection to all people; equity before the law and the presumption of innocence; the right to hear the charges against you and to face your accuser; access to council and judicial proceedings; and the right to a fair, speedy and public trial.

Then came Homeland Security little more than a year later...and more recently the TSA gropers.  All of it representing power and control functioning on a barbaric level.  To the victors belong the spoils...until they do not.

To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.  
Deuteronomy 32:35

SEPTEMBER 2011 FULL MOON - USA


Click to enlarge, then click again.

Data:  Sept. 12, 2011 @ 5:28 A.M. - Washington, D.C.

The Full Moon in 7th house Pisces targets open enemies, allies, foreign affairs and war.  At the 20th degree we find a public getting caught up in an intoxicating shared illusion and then suffering a sobering moment when a glimpse of a more authentic level of reality is caught.

The Moon in Pisces reflecting from the 7th house speaks of open conflicts and those who are dealing with emotions that have been suppressed for a lengthy period of time, emotions that can now become overwhelming, manifesting in unusual behavior.  I'd look to the U.S. military to foment radical change as the Piscean ruler, Neptune, occupies the 6th house...something going on behind the scenes as the 6th is the 12th house (hidden secrets) of the 7th.  Neptune is a watery planet situated in this chart in the military zone 6th house in the sign Aquarius (symbol of wisdom).  It is in retrograde motion and the Apex of a Yod thus, the military is and has been seeking truth about the victimization of fellow members.  On August 6th, thirty-one Special Forces Troops, 22 of them U.S. Seals (Team 6) were killed when their helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.  Astrological indications point to the possibility that the U.S. military has uncovered, or is in the process of uncovering, the truth about the death of these brave men.

Mars in Cancer, 11th house, reconciles the Sun/Moon opposition...repressed emotions may find release via the legislative branches...to the detriment of us all, as Mars is in its Fall, thus they are capable of doing something calling for an apology (not that this impotent group would concede such a situation).  That the Moon in Pisces co-rules the 11th house and disposits Mars is not encouraging, as the soul essence of Mars in this chart is under the influence of a tragic Moon...trying to escape collective illusions.

A Grand Trine in Earth: Sun (1st house-nation's people),  Pluto (5th house-recreation; children), Jupiter (9th house-immigration; courts) speaks to preserving the status quo of existing conditions, i.e., materialism.

The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex, alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.--

OUR SPIRITUAL HERITAGE #3 - EL CASTILLO, CHICHEN ITZA


Click to enlarge, then click again

EL CASTILLO - CHICHEN ITZA, YUCATAN

The most impressive of all the pyramid temples is the great structure of El Castillo.

Researchers in Guatemala and Mexico has brought to light the same brilliant illumination of ancient truth which gave immortal glory to the reign of Akhenaten in Egypt...which later enabled Posidonius markedly to influence the intellectual and spiritual trends of Europe.  It also blazed quite as powerfully for a thousand years over the history of the whole Maya empire.

Mayan traditions hold that they came from some region in the sea to the east; but why they came is not in evidence.  Their ancestors, no doubt, had their origin in Atlantis or Mu; but these ancient lands had sunk thousands of years before the Mayas arrived in the last land of their adoption.  Certainly they did not wander about on the open sea from 9,000 B.C. until a hundred years before the commencement of the Christian era.

As yet we do not know from whence they came to Guatemala and Yucatan; but their own account tells of their leader, who piloted them to safety, taught them writing, architecture, agriculture, astrology and the civilized arts and kept them faithful to The Religion of the Stars for a thousand years, until a foreigner, through military power, gained dominance over them.  The name of the great Maya initiate, whom they held to be a white man, was Itzamna.

The Spaniards, when they arrived, took great pains to destroy the Maya libraries, so that the details of their history and of The Religion of the Stars as they observed it are lacking.  Yet on their stone monuments, which the Spaniards could not destroy, we have the precise dates of the chief events and practices covering a period of about 1,500 years.

During this time only two names stand out as of unusual and universal significance.  One is that of Itzamna, the great initiate who led them to safety and gave them their arts and religion, and the other is that of the black-bearded Toltec military leader, Kukulcan who, after inter-tribal wars had weakened them, imposed his will, crushed out the pure practices of The Religion of the Stars, and introduced barbaric Toltec religious customs, including the savage abomination of human sacrifice.

Here we have, on the American continent, an example of the contention of the two ancient forces which gave Atlantis and Mu their glory and which when the constructive element was defeated, ultimately sank them.  A thousand years of light, of joy, of happiness and of constructive effort by the Maya people; and then the forces of darkness, of cruelty and of greed gained the victory and there was quick intellectual and spiritual decay.

When the Spanish invaded Mexico and Central America, their priests sought out all the books and consigned them to the flames.  One Bishop Diego de Landa was highly successful in suppressing the ancient wisdom of the Mayas, who at the time had a national library of literature, of science and of history in the form of books written in their hieroglyphic characters, as de Landa records.  The national library, and the books in various cities of the empire were not available to the public, but only to the Maya priests and rulers, who were greatly esteemed for their wisdom.

The books were written and painted on a paper of fiber composition coated with stucco, which made exquisite art work possible.  De Landa had a systematic search made of the entire Maya nation for all such books, gathered them in a great pile in the public square of Mani, and burned them while the populace looked on, powerless to prevent this atrocious vandalism.

Thus of all the Maya books, invaluable treatise on their beliefs and sciences, only three escaped, no one knows how, and persist to this day.  They are:  The Peresianus Codex now at the Biblioteque National, Paris, France; the Dresden Codex, now at the Royal Library at Dresden, Germany; and the Tro-Cortesianus Codex, now at the Royal Academy of History, Madrid, Spain.  Parts of the Tro-Cortesianus appeared in two different countries, and each for a long time was believed to be a separate book.  They are now considered as halves of the same book.

If their history is ever fully recovered it will reveal, no doubt, much about the most remarkable of all initiates to set foot on American soil.  Itzamna taught his people not only architecture the equal of any to be found in the Old World, a hieroglyphic written language, and an unshakable belief in astrology, but even taking into consideration the precision of the Egyptians, Chaldeans and Greeks of that time, a knowledge of astronomy unrivaled anywhere in the whole world.

As to a still earlier occurrence, thousands of years before Itzamna brought his followers to the land that became theirs, the Tro-Cortesianus Manuscripts record:

"In the year 6 Kan, on the 11 Muluc, in the month of Zac, there occurred terrific earthquakes which continued until the 13 Chuen without interruption.  The country of the hills of earth - the land of Mu (some translate it as Atlantis) - was sacrificed.  Twice upheaved, it disappeared during the night, having been constantly shaken by the fires of the underneath.  Being confined, these caused the land to rise and sink several times in various places.  At last the surface gave way and the ten countries were torn asunder and scattered.  They sank with their 64,000,000 inhabitants 8,060 years before the writing of this book."

EL CASTILLO - the pyramid castle - consists of a series of square terraces with stairways up each of the four sides to the temple on top. Sculptures of plumed serpents run down the sides of the northern balustrade. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the late afternoon sun strikes off the northwest corner of the pyramid and casts a series of triangular shadows against the northwest balustrade, which creates the illusion of a feathered serpent "crawling" down the pyramid. Each of the pyramid's four sides has 91 steps which, when added together and including the temple platform on top as the final 'step', produces a total of 365 steps (which is equal to the number of days of the Haab' year (the Maya version of the 365-day calendar, which approximated the solar year.
