FULL MOON SEPTEMBER 2012 - USA


Data:  September 29, 2012 @ 11:20 P.M. - Washington, D.C.

This Full Moon catches Pluto in the 7th house of war, foreign affairs and allies at the Apex of a Cardinal T-Square, the Moon separating - at the 11th hour - from conjunction Uranus.   I've said repeatedly that the United States doesn't have an ally and now we find in this area of circumstance an Apex Pluto, indicating a foreign country that tends to be relentlessly one-tracked in their aims...to have powerful, all-consuming obsessions...and to be opposed to the well-being of Americans, as Pluto forms an opposition to the Ascendant.

Some might refer to this configuration as a Grand Square, however,  angles (ASC or MC) do not represent dynamic urges that drive to express...rather, they describe attitude towards external conditions so that the urges of the four planets (Sun, Moon, Uranus, Pluto) interact with a great level of tension and filter themselves out through the Ascendant point, according to the behavioral expression of the ascending sign, which in this instance is Cancer, the sign under which the USA was born.  The sign Cancer symbolizes the need for emotional security, for feeling that one's environment will support one's existence, and for feeling nurtured.  When the needs of Cancer are not fulfilled, patterns of behavior emerge that is grasping and emotionally possessive from fear of loss.  Under the stress of this T-Square the Cancer patterns essential to social good fall by the wayside.

Suffice to say that the foreign country here represented has the willful desire to fulfill ambitions through force, manipulation, and/or subversive actions.  I'd surmise that we - as a country - have easily experienced manipulation...that subversive actions are and have been underway...leaving force on the immediate docket.

The Sun is in Libra, sign of war...the Moon is in Aries, a martial sign...and Pluto holds sway from the 7th house, governing war.  What more can be said?

Of all the causes which conspire to blind
Man's erring judgment, and  misguide the mind,
What the weak head with strongest bias rules,
Is PRIDE, the never-failing vice of fools.

SEPTEMBER 2012 NEW MOON EFFECTS ON VARIOUS COUNTRIES


USA: the Virgo New Moon of September 15/16, 2012 fell on natal 9th house Neptune, triggering Neptune's square with natal Mars, planet of war and aggression...and the country's personal signature for war.  Pay attention to what is being done, not what is being said, because lies predominate...top off survival preparations.

OBAMA: if he was born on August 4, 1961 the September New Moon fell on his natal Mars, trine his natal Saturn...I choose not to say what he is involved in surreptitiously, leaving the mystery for the astrologically astute to solve.  Don't forget to stock up on survival items for your beloved pets.

ISRAEL: the September New Moon formed a T-Square with Jupiter in the 3rd house of neighboring countries and Uranus in the 9th house of foreign countries.  The opposition of Jupiter and Uranus speaks to suffering wrought by poor judgment and ill-considered actions.  An Israeli Mistake in the making that will filter down to the rest of the world.

IRAN: the New Moon opposes their natal Mars while squaring natal Neptune, creating tremendous tension.  Significant conflicts can be expected, some of which will encompass oil. 

CHINA's horoscope has the September New Moon trine its 12th house Jupiter, a promise of good fortune in their financial affairs, most of which is occurring behind the scenes.  The East rises as the West sets.

JAPAN is another country that experiences this New Moon opposing their natal Mars...their sense of aggression is being aroused while at the same time the New Moon forms an inconjunct to their natal Sun, which will force leadership to make adjustments to ensure that the country will not lose face in their dispute with China.

PAKISTAN: the New Moon formed a square to natal Uranus...the natives are restless and prone to error that may cause a change of plans to be forced upon them.  The possibility exists for the country to change their objectives and take a different direction.

RUSSIA: the New Moon formed a sextile to their natal Pluto/Venus in 4th house Scorpio.  Watch them over the next four weeks as they are in a position to influence others, who may temporarily follow their lead.  Russia's Uranus in Capricorn opposite the USA Sun in Cancer causes a sporadic association that is rebellious in nature; the discordant combination causes Russia to resent the USARussia's Neptune in Capricorn also opposes the USA Sun; neither country trusts the other...America can expect evasive and deceptive qualities from the Russians.  Who knew?  LOL.

NEW MOON SEPTEMBER 2012 - USA and GLOBAL


DATA:  September 15, 2012 @ 10:12 P.M. - Washington, D.C.

The September New Moon falls into the 5th house, applying to a conjunction of Mercury in late degrees of Virgo...setting the theme for the following four weeks. Except for the house position, the theme remains the same for everyone in the world.

To convey the esoteric meaning of this astrological event we must look to the 3rd decanate of Virgo, pictured by a crown of twelve iron spikes.  This Venus-decanate of the mental sign Virgo is the point from which the Sun passes into the winter section of the zodiac.  And so the serpent, picturing the first decanate of Libra, is represented with his fangs just before Corona Borealis - the Northern Crown - as if to strike.

Virgo in a natural birth-chart rules the house that governs not only work, but also illness and servitude, the most common afflictions of human life.  When the Sun is in this sign it is moving toward the Autumnal Equinox where days and nights are equal, and after crossing which the forces of death prevail and the nights become longer than the days.  The forces of Light are still triumphant while the Sun remains in any part of Virgo, but the closer the Sun draws to the next sign, Libra, the weaker becomes the power of Day, and the more is Night able to inflict its encroaching power of evil upon the solar waning strength.

The last decanate of Virgo, where the Sun may be found from September 13th to September 23rd, is the most appropriate place in all the zodiac to represent the afflictions to which man is heir, and his persecution at the hand of fate.  The writer of Revelation seems to have recognized this when he speaks of the pain accompanying birth, commencing the 12th chapter thus:  "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the Sun, and the Moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars."

This place of tribulation in the zodiac indicates the proper attitude toward misfortune, the spiritual lesson being how Job triumphed over his afflictions.  To indicate some object significant of high honors attained, a crown was used...throughout the ages shown as a reward for victory or as a mark of distinction...triumph over the afflictions symbolized.

The Sun each year dies on the Autumnal Cross of Libra, even as the Son of Man gave up His life on Calvary; or that preceding this far-reaching tragedy the gentle Nazarene was vilely persecuted and made to wear a crown of thorns, of similar purport to Corona Borealis placed by the ancients in the sky to mark the tribulations of the Sun before it temporarily succumbs each year to the forces of darkness.

The fruits of life, whether they be tares or wholesome grain, are harvested from experience.  What that harvest shall be is not determined by the nature of the experiences, but by the mental and emotional reaction toward them; for both the physical conditions attracted in the future, and the spiritual values garnered, are dependent upon the seeds of thought thus sown and tended in the finer form and heading into character.  In the final winnowing all except the golden grain of character is blown away as tares and chaff.

The illness that one sign brings is not the same as that indicated by another.  The loss attracted by one sign when it is discordant, is not the same type of loss which another sign brings when acting as an affliction.  Thus are there twelve different sets of difficulties attracted from without which man should understand.

To represent these, the crown used to picture the reward of character triumphing over tribulations was given twelve spikes of hard, unyielding iron; one spike for each type of affliction.  Such is the significance of Corona Borealis.

In the Book of Job many wise sayings relative to life and its problems can be found; and the story of the afflicted hero is replete with sage advice.  In one catastrophe after another, Job lost his property and his children, until he had nothing left.  But with the wisdom of those conversant with Spiritual Alchemy he maintained that these things were merely given to him to use so long as it served the Lord's good purpose.

Occult wisdom holds that the thing which is greatly feared will come upon the person who holds such feelings and thoughts.  In addition to the chemical reaction to the emotion of fear, to fear a thing is to hold its image vividly in the mind and to feed that image mental energy.  It thus creates a thought-form which has a certain power, acting from the four-dimensional plane, to attract into the life the thing thus thought about.

In his time of affliction Job's friends held forth the doctrine that man's lot in this world is determined by his morality, and that the Lord must be punishing him for grievous sins.  But Job held that even the afflictions he suffered were for some good purpose.

If individuals are undergoing training to fit them each for a different function in the cosmic organization, each will attract to him or herself just those experiences he or she needs to develop the required abilities.  Accomplishment of any kind implies the ability to overcome difficulties.  People who have never had hard problems to solve are unable to solve hard problems when suddenly presented.

Afflictions, therefore, as Job discerned, are not bestowed by heaven to punish man for sin, but to indicate that he has a lesson to learn.  When he has learned this lesson he will be able to triumph
over the affliction, as Job did in the end, for when we live the Life of the Spirit we must have fortitude in times of adversity.

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2012 - USA


DATA:  September 22, 2012 @ 10:50 A.M., Washington, D.C.

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 13, 2012, we found the focal point to be weather with restlessness of the natives being secondary.

The following interpretation is for the Autumn Equinox chart cast for Washington, D.C., for 2012 depicting situations to be faced by the population of the USA.

The Sun, conjoined Mercury, occupies the 11th house applying to an opposition of retrograde Uranus in the 5th house, governing the stock market.  The Sun and Mercury are also square 2nd house Pluto, which forms the Apex of a Cardinal T-Square, the empty leg and ultimate resolution being the 8th house of debt...the monster in the living room that is about to eat us alive.  We can expect monetary upsets, a change in direction and confrontations due to abuse of power by criminal banksters,  by members of congress (Sun in 11th) and Wall Street wheeler/dealers (Uranus in 5th).

Saturn, the Grim Reaper, is posited in the 12th house, on the same degree as the Moon's Nodes.  Justice is fated to come knocking on our doors over the course of the next few months.  "Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing."  Matthew 5:26.

The only bright spot on the horizon is the sextile of 9th house Venus to 8th house Jupiter, however, not strong enough to overcome the square of Venus to 1st house Mars.  America will have trouble finding equitable compromises with foreign countries during this time frame.

WEATHER:  Aquarius on the 4th house cusp brings dry, crisp, cold weather.  Neptune in Pisces (a sign that tends to coolness) in the 4th house suggests freak weather of all kinds.

RESTLESS NATIVES:  Mars in Scorpio in the 1st house square the Midheaven indicates much resentment on the part of the citizens toward those in power.  Who can say where said aggressiveness will lead?
