Journey through 9 dimensions - some of us are doing 12...
Humans and societies
function within cycles that are mirrored in the sky by the locations of the
planets and the Moon going around the Sun. Just as it is possible to consider
the basic personalities of the people invited to a party and predict what kind
of party might result, it is possible to use planetary analysis to anticipate
the qualities of the human social field on Earth during a given period of time.
Astrology can predict how individuals might be feeling, just by knowing the
archetypal influence of each planet plus the Moon. Just like a wild rock-n-roll
dance party is very different from a black-tie dinner party, life on Earth is
very different during wartime than it is during peacetime. Astrology also
states clearly when an influence begins and is finished; this makes it possible
to look back or go forward in time to identify patterns.
Meanwhile, the Elite
(powers-that-be that control the world) debunk astrology while using it as a
tool to predict human behavior to perpetrate their power games. This site
observes how some global political powers use astrology to stay one step ahead
of the people.
Astrology is the
highest art for analyzing human behavior, and smart people use it. AstroFlash!
looks at how the Elite might be planning events for us during the end of
the Mayan Calendar, and it offers tips on how to live better amidst such
transformative times. Also, this astrological analysis includes the influences
of the Days and Nights of the Galactic Underworld-1999-2011, based on Carl
Johan Calleman's time acceleration hypothesis, which explores Nine Underworlds
of evolution in the universe over 16.4 billion years. AstroFlash!
explores how individuals can succeed and be free and happy during the remainder
of the Mayan
Calendar.
How have we gotten to
this critical juncture? Why are 1999 through 2011 so critical for the
survival of our species? My recent book Catastrophobia (2001)
theorizes that we are afflicted with a crippling, species-level, post-traumatic
stress syndrome that I call "catastrophobia". This trauma complex developed
11,500 years ago as the result of a great cosmic catastrophe in our solar
system. This malaise in the collective psyche of our species deepened during
thousands of years after the 9500 BC cataclysm, when our ancestors endured
starvation and horrific environmental stress. Before this time during the
Regional Underworld-100,000 BC through AD 2011--Earth was the Garden of Eden;
we experienced oneness with our planet. These events that separated us from
nature are deeply buried in our minds. Just like adults who once endured
early-childhood abuse that they've largely forgotten, we must heal ourselves by
recovering these memories and understanding how they have changed
us.
Catastrophobia
presents evidence that Earth's axis did not tilt very much before 9500 BC, when
the cosmic disaster disarranged the whole solar system. Therefore,
AstroFlash! is structured by seasonality--equinoxes and solstices-because
once the axis tilted, early humans quickly learned how to maximize their
potential by arranging their lives by the seasons. Seasonality is not taken
into account much in modern times, but it actually has a huge influence on
human consciousness. George W. Bush invaded Iraq exactly during the Spring
Equinox of 2003 because the Elite knew this moment had formative potential.
This was also Day Tree of the Galactic, so this invasion caused events that
will influence the rest of the Galactic Underworld.
Once Earth's axis tilted
11,500 years ago, the new seasons necessitated agriculture for human survival,
and gradually hunter-gatherer cultures gave up their ways of life that were in
harmony with nature. Focus on the seasons and lunar cyles goes way back to more
than 10,000 years ago, which is why AstroFlash! examines them in detail.
I've discovered ancient ways to balance our consciousness by showing how to use
the potentiality of each season with intention. I believe that we must utilize
the potential of this quarterly pattern to slowly integrate our neurological
systems with the changes caused by the recently tilting axis. Like Humpty
Dumpty falling off his wall, we can't put ourselves back together again. We can
use the cycles of the Moon to master our emotions very effectively when the
lunar analysis is understood in light of the four seasons. This technique
really helps us handle time acceleration.
The great cataclysm
disarranged the solar system and greatly disturbed many planetary patterns.
For example, Uranus tilts 90 degrees on its axis. Uranus rules cultural
transformations, and by its foundation chart, the United States is very
influenced by Uranus. Now that we are moving into the Age of Aquarius, which
Uranus rules, the USA is poised to become the global empire. AstroFlash!
incorporates the birth chart of the USA in 1776, which is in the Methodology
which follows. The ancients discovered they could assess politics realm by
examining the conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn every twenty years-the
Trigons. The current Elite, the "Bushites", seized the agenda of the recent May
2000 Trigon. This has enabled them to run the show during the Galactic
Underworld, so this site examines their obvious use of astrology. It offers
advice on how individuals can get out of the way, as the so-called "leaders"
create mass-trauma events, such a 9/11. These things are done because they
stimulate catastrophobia and fear.
AstroFlash! breaks
the four seasons down into three lunar cycles within the context of major
planetary transits. I offer some lunar and seasonal chart comparison with
background charts (see Methodology) by means of combust (less than 1 degree by
conjunction) aspects. We begin with how you can master seasonality. This is
written for people north of the equator, yet if you live south of the equator,
just reverse summer and winter.
Seasonality
The New Year is not January 1st! The new year-the Spring
Equinox-occurs around March 21, when the Sun enters 0 degrees Aries by
geocentric astrology. For Earth, this is when the Sun is directly over the
equator. Then it tracks north until it reaches the Tropic of Cancer at 0
degrees Cancer during the Summer Solstice around June 21. Then it turns back
and crosses over the equator at 0 degrees Libra during to the Fall Equinox
around September 23. It moves south of the equator until it reaches the Tropic
of Capricorn at 0 degrees Capricorn on the Winter Solstice around December 21.
Then the Sun seems to move north again for its return to the equator for the
next Spring Equinox. Of course, the Sun only seems to move in this pattern from
Earth's view, since the phenomena is caused by the tilt of Earth's axis as it
orbits the Sun during a solar year.
The modern calendar abuses our conciousness! The time to make
plans for each year is during the Spring Equinox, not during the so-called "New
Year". The most philosophical and spiritual time of the year is the Winter
Solstice, which is reduced to addictions and consumerism by Christmas shopping,
eating, and drinking. In fact, December 21st to March 21st, the last quarter of
the year, is our yearly completion time. The special days and nights
right before the Winter Solstice are the most mystical time of the year, and we
should meditate for hours during this time. Then when the Sun is in Capricorn,
Aquarius, and Pisces before the Spring Equinox, we should be deepening our
understandings of all the things we have learned during the last nine
months-the previous Spring Equinox to the Winter Solstice.
The Spring Equinox is the time to identify the intentions we
wish to fulfill during the four seasons. Ideas correctly seeded at the Spring
Equinox manifest for a year, and I will offer instructions for correctly
seeding ideas and manifesting them through the rest of the seasons. During the
Summer Solstice, the time has arrived to birth these ideas into recognizable
form, like a forming fetus. The Fall Equinox is the time to flesh out, balance,
and assess these creations and to weed things out that just are not working.
Then the Winter Solstice is the time to enter into deep contemplation to
imagine how our personal creations assist others and the planet.
The Winter Solstice is the time to be brutally honest and
evaluate whether our ideas enhance others or whether they may actually be
detrimental for evolution. A sweet elixir of knowing comes the day of the
Winter Solstice when the light begins to return, and each one of us can put
greater realities above our personal desires. It is no accident that in Western
cultures commercial Christmas is inserted just when people are amazingly
psychic and attuned! I suggest you cancel Santa Claus during the Winter
Solstice and spend three months reflecting on what you've created during the
year.
2009 Summer Solstice:
June 21, 2009 / View
Chart
The Sun moves into Cancer, bringing summer to the Northern
latitudes and winter to the Southern latitudes. In the North, the time has
arrived for nurturance, for remembering that our mother, Earth, supports our
desires and wants us to thrive. For you readers who created spring intentions
during the Spring Equinox, have you been seeing aspects of these intentions
materialize in your life, or maybe you have first been planting these
possibilities in your fertile mind? With the arrival of summer, the time has
come to fertilize and water these seedlings, to flesh them out by adding new
possibilities, facets, and perspectives. The 2009 Summer Solstice is really
going to facilitate the deepening of these creative processes with the New Moon
in Cancer arriving only a day and a half after the Solstice. This combination
of summer awakening followed so soon by the New Moon offers us two concentrated
days in which to model and envision our creations.
Saturn recently went direct in Virgo on May 16, when the
material world really began cooking after a time of repose since early
February. This forward motion is a welcome relief; during late winter/early
spring, many of us were strangely tied up in knots under the influence of
Saturn and Venus retrograde while Mars was wallowing in Pisces. Thankfully,
now, action is the game. Amidst the unrelenting influence of this spring's
frustrating Venus/Mars transits, many people were all wound up in severe
relationship stress. Since the time to get moving is normally in the spring,
these transits have very disconcerting; even the plants in my garden were very
late this spring. Did the cosmic master set it up this way during this spring
to encourage us to pop and process unresolved and limiting emotional patterns?
Surely, removing such blocks would better allow us to handle the Triple
Conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius. Like clearing out a
dusty, cluttered attic, many of you did a lot of deep work on useless old
patterns this spring, which will serve you well this summer. Now the time has
come for action based on what this subtle and mind-boggling Triple Conjunction
is pushing us to do- heal ourselves of primary catastrophobia. [See Clow,
Catastrophobia: The Truth About Earth Changes in the Coming Age of
Light.] This stunning dance in the sky is pushing us to balance and
activate all four bodies of consciousness-physical, emotional, mental, and
spiritual-since we need to achieve total balance during the last few years of
the Mayan Calendar.
Before I interpret the Summer Solstice chart, please refresh
your mind on your spring intentions. This year-in light of all the wreckage
caused by the spring's Venus/Mars transits during Saturn retrograde-how did
your creative intentions hold up while you were handling severe relationship
stress? These days, many people have learned how to create things alone rather
than in tandem with their partners, except for those rare partners who create
well together. So, if you had a partner (lover, child, friend, parent,
associate) who made it almost impossible for you to create your new intentions
this spring, take just a moment to analyze how this person sabotages or blocks
your heart's desire. Is this person limiting you because he or she feels
blocked? Can you reassure this person about his/her own special value so that
you can be liberated? If you can, you are in for a big treat: Sensuality and
luscious passion will rule our nests this summer with Venus and Mars in
Taurus. You will love it!
Turning to the chart for the Summer Solstice, as you
contemplate this reading, think of this chart as a spring or lock that will
release its potency over more than a day, and then its power will release
during the Cancer New Moon. (I will discuss the New Moon release in the reading
for the Cancer New Moon.) The last three days of any lunar cycle are the
balsamic phase when the real wisdom of the previous lunation is distilled and
perfected. The Gemini lunar cycle was the quickening of life, which was strong
this year because Saturn had just gone direct while the Triple Conjunction in
26 degrees Aquarius was tight. Then Chiron and Neptune intensified the Triple
Conjunction by going retrograde right after the Gemini New Moon. I did my best
to prepare you for this alchemical fusion in last month's reading, yet I
suspect that most of you had a very hard month; you may even have questioned
the value of your own existence. The Triple Conjunction is thrusting us into
our deepest layers of "chirotic" wounding while Neptune is melting our
boundaries to spirit and Jupiter expands the process. This planetary dance
is decimating our resistance to feeling the full potency of life itself; as we
move through old pain, we often feel like we are dying.
The Summer Solstice chart is really enigmatic with two combust
(conjunct within one degree) pairs of inner planets-Venus combust Mars in
middle Taurus, and the balsamic Moon in Gemini combust Mercury. The Triple
Conjunction is still very tight and, outrageously, it is about to intensify
more! Jupiter turned retrograde June 15, and it will exactly re-conjunct
Neptune on July 10, and then Chiron on July 22 right during a solar eclipse.
What does all this suggest? It means that the pressure to penetrate
encapsulated inner wounds amidst flashes of astonishing enlightenment continues
on full bore! The magic degree is still 26 Aquarius, which is just fascinating
because the 1776 USA Moon is 27 degrees Aquarius-exactly conjunct Barack
Obama's lunar South Node. This indicates that the US is the central processor
of global wounding, with Obama here as the conductor. Thus, just before the Sun
in Gemini squared newly direct Saturn in Virgo, Obama went to Egypt to offer
his "New Beginning" lecture, which very clearly addressed East/West tension. On
June 5, as the Sun squared formative Saturn, the media was awash with the
speech and the global response to it. Obama changed the rules of the game
during Sun square Saturn, setting up a new game board that will shift realities
while Saturn moves forward into its third opposition to Uranus in
mid-September. Regardless of what you think about the building rapprochement
between East and West, Benjamin Franklin, that sly Masonic master, once said,
"There never was a good war or a bad peace." Maybe the US should take this
founding father more seriously?
Returning to the Summer Solstice chart, there are multiple
aspects to the Sun moving into Cancer, which means our annual enjoyment of
nurturance will be deepened by all these complex, multi-faceted, and expressive
aspects. Sun in Cancer closely opposes Pluto retrograde in Capricorn bringing
hidden shadows into the light this summer. The Sun/Pluto axis in early
Cancer/Capricorn is closely aligned to the Galactic Center/anti-Center axis in
27 Sagittarius/27 Gemini. Thus, attention to the influence of the coming end of
the Mayan Calendar in 2011/12-as well as to Exopolitics-will build through the
summer. The Triple Conjunction trines the Solstice Sun, so we will feel our
individual healing processes as facets of the collective healing. More and more
you will find yourself flowing within the evolutionary critical leap that is
building up; you may feel your own nervous system growing as Earth
grows.
The lunar North Node in Aquarius exactly quincunxes the
Solstice Sun. Mature Aquarian themes are germinating new structures that will
be born while the North Node is in Capricorn from late August 2009 through
March 2011. The North Node went into Aquarius in December 2007 just after the
opening of Night Five of the Galactic Underworld, and the transformative power
of Uranus has released the financial collapse that is breaking down the
structures of the Planetary and National Underworlds. [See Clow, The Mayan
Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] This breakdown of
the old structures will be supported by almost everybody when the North Node
moves into Capricorn in late August 2009. As things that nobody wants
anymore crumble, people will start to actively participate in throwing out the
old and seeking new paths.
Uranus in late Pisces squares the Solstice Sun opposite Pluto
in Capricorn, a very potent T-square. Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003, and
he will go into Aries briefly in 2010 and then permanently in March 2011.
Uranus rules the transformation process itself; and when Uranus is in Pisces,
we transform our spiritual processes as the world adopts new spiritual
perspectives. Individually, many people are formulating a new Christology by
envisioning the deity as a sexual partner with the goddess; and globally, there
is a building distrust of scientific materialism. As much as everybody enjoys
all the gadgets and comforts, many people are realizing that they don't even
want to live without spiritual communion and respect for Earth. This T-square
signals life-changing spiritual realizations this summer, which is also the
agenda of the Triple Conjunction. All that sounds fine and dandy, but how? This
is where these tight Venus/Mars, Moon/Mercury planetary pairs come
in.
When planets are conjunct less than one degree (combust), the
forces that these planets rule are fused, and they work together to accomplish
big things. When an individual has a natal planetary pair, often they cannot
distinguish between the feeling and demands of each planet. Collectively, the
two planets are like a couple in which two people become the equivalent of
three. Venus combust Mars in Taurus is the ultimate passionate androgyny:
Nobody cares what sex you are or whether you switch it back and forth;
everything is sexual. Then with Venus/Mars in Taurus exactly trine Saturn newly
direct in Virgo, people will be locked into creating new worlds and patterns,
and they will love doing it. What a hot combination for summer 2009! It will
also tend to favor economies, even make people feel greedy and throw caution to
the winds. So, this summer is the last period to get your financial house in
order before Saturn moves into cardinal Libra in late October after opposing
Uranus again in mid-September. These transits will combine with the
evolutionary flowering of Day Six to topple old systems, especially those
supporting war and financial hierarchies.
The balsamic Moon in 8 Gemini is combust Mercury in 8 Gemini, a
really hot trigger in the Solstice chart. Like Venus/Mars in Taurus, it pulls
our attention down into small details and gets us going. The Moon rules our
emotions and Mercury rules our computing mind (Uranus rules the higher mind),
and they are really active in Gemini; we will really feel like taking action.
This combination will inspire us to experience the world as our oyster, a very
nice way to enjoy summer. Moon/Mercury in Gemini is in a wide closing quincunx
to Pluto in Capricorn, making us want to end old patterns, like that moment
when you are cleaning out the attic and you just throw all the crap out. This
summer, you might feel like a master of fencing as you carry out your
work-swish, take this, swoop, cut that. With Venus/Mars in Taurus trine Saturn
inspiring us to have fun while creating things, and Moon/Mercury in Gemini
making reality move and flow, expect unique and fun activities this summer for
sure!
With all that said, how do we integrate the highly spiritual
quality of the Triple Conjunction; the Sun in Cancer stimulated by so many
aspects; and the practical aspects of the two combust pairs? I think the answer
is to intentionally connect the more subtle aspects of life with the mundane.
Great spiritual teachers often stress that God is in the garden or in the eyes
of a little child. The divine is interwoven into ordinary reality, and most
often that is where we find it. This is a summer to bless life, find joy in
small things, and have a great time creating and living. The New Moon reading
follows shortly, which offers more tools for releasing the potency of this
wonderful summer, the Flowering Phase of Day Six of the Galactic Underworld.
Cancer New Moon: June
22, 2009 View
Chart
It
is the New Moon in Cancer, the time to evaluate our feelings about our own
security and a time to be nurtured and loved. Occurring little more than a day
after the Summer Solstice, it infuses our bodies and feelings with the potency
of summer, making us feel stirred, joyful, and safe. Because this New Moon
occurs so soon after the Solstice, the added keys to its message are in the
aspects that have changed a lot since the Solstice: the fast-moving Moon, Sun,
and Mercury will cause subtle changes in the overall harmonics of the
slower-moving bodies. I will consider these subtle shifts as well as offer a
traditional reading to ascertain how the potent, sensual, and highly
transformative Solstice dynamic might release during the New Moon in
Cancer.
The Sun's opposition to Pluto has tightened
to less than 1 degree (combust), and it will be exact around eight hours after
the New Moon. This intensifies the Sun/Pluto opposition of the Summer Solstice.
Of course, since the Moon conjuncts the Sun during the New Moon, they are fused
in opposition to Pluto, which will be very challenging for your feelings and
sense of personal identity. You may experience a cathartic emotional crisis
that presents you with a newly truthful sense of who you really are. In the
collective, Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2024) is directing a total transformation
of our economic and societal systems and the way we use resources. Most people
realize nothing will stop this process, and they have no idea what will replace
this crumbling edifice. Our brains are hard-wired into the collective field, so
beware of getting sucked into the collective dynamic and losing your identity
on this day, since the Cancer New Moon is your time to discover yourself.
The New Moon in early Cancer inspires each
one of us to find the goddess within, to find new ways to nurture life and
ourselves. As we experience the rising of the goddess within, Pluto's
opposition reminds us that Pluto takes the goddess Persephone into the
Underworld while her mother, Demeter, searches for her and grieves. This
mythical story of Demeter and Persephone reminds us that now the darkness is
coming back as the strength of the Sun begins to wane.
Uranus in Pisces forms a T-square to the
New Moon-opposite-Pluto, which brings another Greek god into the dance with
Pluto. Uranus was so rabid to transform the world that he even ate his own sons
and disgorged them in new forms, and Pluto stole Demeter's daughter for half
the year, so who wants to hear anything more about these evil Titans? Well,
this New Moon evokes a potent memory that has been lurking dormant within our
societal memory-our experiences during Uranus-conjunct-Pluto in Virgo in the
mid-1960s. This aspect during the sixties inspired great change, rebellion, and
the desire for a better world-a desire that has been cooking and waiting to
manifest for more than forty years. Since Uranus is stationary and turns
retrograde on June 30, this wide T-square during the Cancer New Moon sends out
a warning shot about the first (waxing) exact square of Uranus to Pluto since
the grand conjunctions. The waxing Uranus/Pluto square will bring back the
desire for a better world that came up during the 1960s, the hopes that were
not realized. In July 2011, Uranus comes very close to squaring Pluto, and
then there will be seven exact squares 2012-2015. Wow!
The coming Uranus/Pluto squares in
Libra/Capricorn will be the driving force that creates a new evolutionary
agenda based on human enlightenment, once the time acceleration of the
Universal Underworld during 2011 is complete. [See Clow, The Mayan Code:
Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] When two outer planets
conjunct, as Uranus and Pluto did during the sixties, a whole new creation
cycle begins. Uranus-conjunct-Pluto rules the transformation of the
underworld-the shadow world-and in Virgo, the agenda is cleansing emotional
wounding and healing ecosystems. Ecology, a conscious movement to heal the
planet, emerged in the sixties. Now as Uranus and Pluto begin to achieve their
first square, our species will manifest real and practical ways to achieve true
ecology.
[Uranus goes into Aries from May 2010
through August 2010 and then fully in March 2011, and this will begin a new
84-year process of transformation. The last Uranus-in-Aries transit was 1927
through 1935, which might cause some of you to reflect on the likely condition
of the economy from 2011 to 2019! When Uranus is in Aries, the old goes out and
the new comes in, and when Pluto is in Capricorn, all basic structures are
totally transformed. So, Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn will usher
in a whole new world that nobody can even imagine now. Like all births, the
process will be tumultuous. Maybe stationary Uranus in his T-square to the New
Moon reminds us that everything always changes, even during the deep yin energy
of the Cancer New Moon? The sign that resists change the most is Cancer.
Regardless, you won't be able to ignore the creeping awareness of a roaring
energy coming soon with Uranus-square-Pluto in cardinal signs. Radical
change coming soon will slip into your consciousness during this New Moon, and
then it will slip into a dormant place in your consciousness when Uranus turns
retrograde June 30.]
This New Moon in Cancer trines the Triple
Conjunction of Chiron, Neptune, and Jupiter in Aquarius. This is rich in
meaning and suggests that our healing and nurturance this month comes from the
energy of the Triple Conjunction. For the past few months, we've been
whipsawing between flashes of enlightenment and searing deep wounding. We've
been driven into old pain, and many can see that these wounds are what have
been limiting the expansion of feelings and knowledge. Each time we've allowed
the process to run its course, we've been rewarded with stunning spiritual
insight and exquisite ecstasies. This ability to break through blocks is
becoming Pavlovian (people being ruled by conditioned responses); we are
learning how to dive into the pain to find ecstasy. The lovely trine from
the new Moon to the Triple Conjunction helps us know that ultimately it is the
goddess who heals; we find ourselves by going into the dark. So, even though
Persephone was stolen away from her loving mother, she discovered how to be a
woman and a lover. This lunation is really about loving your woman within, and
you have her too, guys. The goddess within is the deepest source of creativity
for all beings; only the goddess can show us how to live in balance with
Earth.
Between the Solstice and the New Moon,
Venus was exactly conjunct Mars in Taurus in exact trine to Saturn, and these
aspects are very tight at the time of the New Moon. These are earthy and deeply
reassuring aspects that take us back to being a secure child of loving parents,
an experience we have all had at least in some lifetimes. Venus/Mars in Taurus
is passionate and secure, while father Saturn in Virgo is the perfect guardian
and organizer. This month you may find you can accomplish almost anything as
long as you allow the wounding/breakthrough process of the Triple Conjunction.
This lunation is a great time to fall in love and to insist upon things that
are good for you. Mercury is moving into a square to Saturn that will be exact
on June 26, so you can easily solve problems and clean up details right after
the New Moon.
Pluto is closely quincunx the lunar South
Node in Leo, which moves into Cancer in late July. Pluto in early Capricorn is
pushing us to finish the last issues that have come up while the North Node has
been in Aquarius since December 2007. While the North Node has been in
Aquarius, we've been pursuing idealism and selflessness, and when the North
Node goes into Capricorn in July, we will focus on practical ways to manifest
these ideals. Thus, Pluto in Capricorn quincunx the South Node pushes us to
reevaluate our cherished ideals during this lunation, since soon we will focus
on hard realities and figure out how to bring those ideals into working form.
This New Moon sends out a strong message to
consider what really matters to you, so that you will have the strength and
resources to face great changes. It is a time to value the small things, the
tender things, and to make sure you are finding new ways to protect them no
matter what. The New Moon trine to the Triple Conjunction informs us that
healing ourselves is the way to create a healthy, nurturing world, and
Venus/Mars in Taurus trine Saturn assures us the path is there if we take the
time to enjoy simple pleasures. This will be an exceedingly pleasurable and
thought-provoking month.
