The Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Moon of Gemini-Sagittarius 2012 Pt. 2

Getting Clear About New Potential Futures Through Dynamic Events  Good stuff from Aquarius Papers.  Excerpts:

This Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 15 Sagittarius-Gemini will bring opportunities to exchange information to understand better how to move through limiting circumstances, as well as insights into other ways to interpret this Venus retrograde period and how it’s impacting our present and future. This period begins 4 1/2 months of mental metamorphosis and turning major corners of life!


As a result of the FOUR Solar Eclipses in 2011, coupled with the recent May Solar Eclipse and this Lunar Eclipse, we are in a period where we have been and continue to be shutting down old Gemini energies while growing toward new Sagittarius energies, thanks to the North Node being the line of greatest development during 2011 and 2012.

That continues to put the growth on exploring truth from many angles while adapting the mind to occasional perceptual conflicts. With Jupiter in Taurus ruling the Moon and North Node, try to open to a more tender, less mentally-driven way of growth. Keep it slow, steady, simple, and straightforward so that your mind doesn’t outrace your ability to enjoy the ride! After all, there are many paths to truth, and part of life’s requirement is that we enjoy ourselves as our minds dance all over the map.

This Partial Lunar Eclipse will begin a several month "shut down" in the houses it occupies in our charts. Given that it happens during the period Neptune is stationary retrograde, you can bet that this point marks a major shift in collective consciousness, where we will begin to reverse recent trends by exchanging information to get clearer about what is and could be.
And:
From these symbols it seems we can see the light of seeing the need to share our discoveries with others, so that we can get clear about spiritual true and “underlying meanings.” These can express as forms that move us to a greater vision of our life purpose and the “universal patterning of life relationships.


We can find illumination in finding new ways to communicate and share our discoveries, and through “self-confidence of spirit” we can establish ourselves to our advantage in life situations. This can take shape through a greater openness to the drift of potentials, and through self-adjustment, find reassurance through knowing how to be and what to do in those life situations.”

For now, enjoy seeing the many ways to understand your "path to Illumination," and be willing to acknowledge greater potential futures based in trends you’re seeing right now. Move into a greater skill and truth while letting go of old distractions in the mind. This is a time for discussions that illuminate things from multiple perspectives to dispel intellectual shadows so that we can become more objective. Move into a greater set of truths while staying in touch with your need for tenderness.

Whether or not you believe in astrology, this is pretty sage advice.  Encouraging, and very resonant.  To Robert Wilkinson:  Thanks again for your unrelenting positivity regarding humanity's future development.  It's nice to know people like you exist.

A Pair from Robert Wilkinson's Aquarius Papers:

Practical Astrology in August 2011 - What is Mercury Retrograde in Leo Good For?

There are many things that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling. I have found that as long as one is flexible, retrograde travel is actually a good thing. Also favored are research, reflection, review, rehearsals, and returns from the past.

It's a perfect time for reconnecting with old friends, and finding people and things thought lost. It's also the best time to explore alternative possibilities around projects, potential futures, or assumed methods, as long as no definitive decisions are made, since they are usually modified or reversed later on.

It's a good time for doing things left undone, or neglected, from previous times. It's good for resuming something from the past, as long as you remember that it may not look like it used to, or requires a different approach than before. It's also good for doing things that fill in gaps in understanding or activity, or for doing things that seem to go in one direction but lead you to entirely new information and understanding.

Neptune Retrograde Into Aquarius - A New Look At the New Age

... remember that 30 Aquarius and 1 Pisces is the exact point of "the cusp of the Age," where our past 2000 year Age of Pisces will soon give way to the coming 2000 year Age of Aquarius.

This long wave "sea change" will shift collective consciousness away from the materialism of Neptune in Capricorn and the electronic village of Neptune in Aquarius, and offer us all a constant ability to feel our common humanity, and choose the way of compassion or the way of isolation, the way of interrelatedness or the way of drifting into the unknown. This will open all of us to a greater feeling experience, even if there are few if any words to describe it with any precision.

That's nice, right?

NASA and the European Space Agency have been warning the world for two years about the approaching catastrophes that may unfold during late 2011 through 2012.

Few have been listening.

Calling it a “once in a lifetime super solar storm event,” NASA warns that killer solar flares can slam the Earth knocking out the Northern Hemisphere’s technological infrastructure and kicking everything back to the level of the late 1800s.

Russia too has voiced concern. And now the eminent astrophysicist, Alexey Demetriev ["PLANETOPHYSICAL STATE OF THE EARTH AND LIFE"] claims what is happening is worse—much worse—than what NASA and the ESA have admitted:

Our entire solar system is entering an immense, deadly, interstellar energy cloud.

The Age of Aquarius Was Awakened by Uranus, Future Reality Patterns Were Dreamed by Neptune, and Pluto Has Yet To Sprout Its Transformational Aquarian Seeds  From Robert Wilkinson's Aquarius Papers.  Summed Up:

As befits the qualities of Aquarius (and coincidentally, the Dwapara Yuga), new forms will show us new ways of being alive and using the miraculous electro-magnetic principles of creation to bring forth a much more effective and loving way of being Spirits in this material world. We will re-discover miracles of how the natural world works, and find solutions to everything that plagues humanity.

The workings of these 3 planets are preparing us for an era to come, as different from our present mechanistic collective delusion as we are from the inquisitors of the 15th century. On a final note, I can definitely tell you that the long-term future of humanity is very bright, but don’t count on it looking anything like what we value or think today.

Cool.  I'll take that..

World's oceans in 'shocking' decline    BBC.  Excerpts:

The oceans are in a worse state than previously suspected, according to an expert panel of scientists.

In a new report, they warn that ocean life is "at high risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history".

They conclude that issues such as over-fishing, pollution and climate change are acting together in ways that have not previously been recognised.

The impacts, they say, are already affecting humanity.
..
"As we considered the cumulative effect of what humankind does to the oceans, the implications became far worse than we had individually realised.

"We've sat in one forum and spoken to each other about what we're seeing, and we've ended up with a picture showing that almost right across the board we're seeing changes that are happening faster than we'd thought, or in ways that we didn't expect to see for hundreds of years."
..
"The rate of change is vastly exceeding what we were expecting even a couple of years ago," said Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a coral specialist from the University of Queensland in Australia.


Some species are already fished way beyond their limits - and may also be affected by other threats
"So if you look at almost everything, whether it's fisheries in temperate zones or coral reefs or Arctic sea ice, all of this is undergoing changes, but at a much faster rate than we had thought."


But more worrying than this, the team noted, are the ways in which different issues act synergistically to increase threats to marine life.
..
In a wider sense, ocean acidification, warming, local pollution and overfishing are acting together to increase the threat to coral reefs - so much so that three-quarters of the world's reefs are at risk of severe decline.

The In Betweens  Aquarius Papers.  Excerpts:

It seems we are in one of those time spaces I have termed "the in-betweens." This is the moment between breaths, between steps, between thoughts, and between life chapters.



If you are impatiently waiting for an answer, a response, a clear vision, a sense of definite movement into something you haven't glimpsed, understood, or captured, you're in "the in-betweens." The trick is not to get hooked into counterproductive emotional and mental states while we're waiting for the unknown to manifest.


Whether a minute, a day, a month, a year, or a decade, we find ourselves in the in-between place throughout our lives. It's actually a great time to meditate, contemplate, and understand our larger life mythos, if we don't allow fear, impatience, or frustration to jam our mental and emotional gears.

Many feel like elements of the old have ended, but the new isn't yet manifest. In manifesting a new way to do or be, Spirit works out in specific ways. When we "send out the call," or do an intention to manifest a higher way to be, Spirit always answers, though sometime it is in strange and mysterious ways.

New Moon in Pisces Pt. 1 - What's Happening in March 2011

Another great article from Robert Wilkinson at Aquarius Papers.    Short, SHORT summation:

Over the next 4 weeks, the New Moon in Pisces will illuminate our worth, our merit, and forms of protection as we "pursue our work of Destiny." It's part of a cluster of planets in Pisces, so expect to say goodbye to parts of your past, blessing and forgiving what cannot be taken with you while moving forward into the revolutionary period shown by Uranus about to enter Aries.

Give yourself some time, but part 1 is worth the read.

Astrology: The Beginning of A Widespread 21st Century Revolution

From Aquarius Papers. Robert Wilkinson breaks down the astrological energies in place during the initial events that sparked the revolutionary movement taking hold in the Mid-East, which began in Tunisia as an altercation between a street vendor and a policeman. Wilkinson uses Dane Rudyhar's Sabian symbols to illustrate more clearly the meaning of not only the house location of individual planets, but the different aspects those planets make to each other, fully fleshing out the implications and meaning of the astrological forces at work. Excerpts:

It is generally known that the beginning of the revolutionary spark began in Tunisia, when police seized a fruit and vegetable cart run by a vendor who then set himself on fire. After that, within 48 hours of the initial incident, crowds gathered, riots broke out, things got out of hand, and a revolution broke out in short order.
..
What follows is an examination of the astrological factors in play during the critical moments the morning of December 17 that set up a spark that lit a revolution.
..
The initial confrontation occurred "less than an hour" before his self-immolation at 11:30 am. At 10:45 am we see 19 Aquarius (the "forest fire"!) on the Ascendant, so we can assume that the Ascendant of the initial incident was somewhere between 17 and 22 Aquarius.
..
The act of self-immolation at 11:30 am shows us 4 Pisces on the Ascendant and 15 Sagittarius on the MC. The ruler of the Ascendant is Jupiter in the 1st conjunct revolutionary Uranus. Jupiter also rules the Sun in the 10th at 26 Sagittarius, a degree of "the flag bearer," a symbol of selfless dedication to a greater collective ideal.
..the Solar degree is where things of "enduring significance... overshadow the more immediate interests or wholely selfish concerns of man, and the emphasis... on the natural supremacy of common ideals over mere individual ambitions." He says this degrees "is the call for a high self-sacrifice... (to) permit the self to realize its transcendental aspirations." The keyword is NOBILITY, and he states "the degree is spiritual exaltation through some dramatic or vital service to all."
..One major revolutionary indicator is the Sun just off the square to Jupiter while still forming one to Uranus. This would definitely indicate things evolving at breakneck speed, where change can happen in a heartbeat.
And:
It's interesting to note that at the inception of this revolution, Mercury was retrograde at 2 Capricorn, a degree of seeing how violence or wrong use of force damages compassion. This was certainly the case with the policewoman who confiscated the vendor's food, spit on him, and insulted his dead father.
And:
He goes on to say that 8 Taurus is about "using knowledge and skill" to meet a future event, and "independence of the will of the self from outer circumstances," and the "power to mould life upon the pioneer's prophetic vision." 9 Taurus is a "symbol of the promise which outer life offers to the pure in heart; of immortality through giving of self to the race." We are told it offers us the chance to create "inner happiness in dark hours" through sounding a counter-tone to harshness or barrenness in the outer world. Sounds like Tunisia before and during these events!

And no, Wilkinson is not implying that astrological forces caused the unrest or the revolution in the Mid-East, these were the energies in place at the time of the initial event in Tunisia. They could have been just as easily not acted upon. After all, Free Will is still the most important factor in human events. These energies are part of the Cardinal Crisis and Grand Irrationality, subtle planetary forces that have been around for several years now. This is simply his analysis of those energies at work in relation to recent events, through the event's ending in 2012. Remember, the forces that facillitate great change can also cause great instability. What we just witnessed were examples of both.. Welcome to the birth pangs of the Age of Aquarius!

Astrology: An Overview of What 2011 Will Bring

From Robert Wilkinson at Aquarius Papers.  One of my favorite Internet author/personalities, Wilkinson's style is accessible to astrology fans, beginners, or the merely curious.  Excerpts in italics:

A tremendous amount of change, new beginnings that rapidly become solid, confronting the consequences of one's willingness to become response-able, and a shift in collective consciousness across the current degree span representing the cusp of where the Age of Pisces slips into the Age of Aquarius. Of course, there's more.
..
The first half of the year will be radically different than the second half. The first half shows harvests and entryways, as well as the resumption of what we all saw or realized "for the first time" between June and August 2010. Whatever we've said goodbye to, whatever we've had to forgive, let go of, or view with the eyes of radical compassion, whether for others or ourselves, will rapidly give way to a highly energetic period that will crest in May.

The second half of the year will give substance to, or confirm in some way, the new vision of Summer 2010 that rapidly develops during the first half of the coming year. We will initiate some management forms and skills in February which will be needed to deal with the substantial forms presenting themselves at the end of the first half of 2011.

The first half of the year will show everyone the power inherent in the natural roles we've accepted as part of our transformational process, while the second half of 2011 will give substance to the responsibilities or duties that have been strongly activated in December 2010. We've all been shown ways to "pick up and deliver spiritual power," and this emergence from an old "cocoon" state will be finalized in February and March 2011.
..
A few things to consider as we move into a new Era: Though these times are very unstable, the potential is enormous. A broader view of our ability to respond will lead us to new power, resources, and clarity about what will sustain us into the future. Find your vision and tie yourself to that pillar of clarity, since that will help ground your vision in practical, natural, substantial forms.

While there are always limiting conditions, these show us what we do and do not need to deal with as we maintain our inner center of equipoise. Sometimes in history we must rise to our more effective Self regardless of how tough outer conditions can become. The striving is everything, as the creative tension finds an echo in the greater space we all share together.

I hope for each and every one of you every bit of your personal potential realized in amazing, unusual, and specific-to-you ways, thereby re-enforcing the wonder of our collective universe.  Happy 2011!

Julian Assange & Eris

Interesting analysis into the astrological motivations behind Julian Assange and his creation, WikiLeaks, from Dark Star Astrology.  The article focuses on the planet Eris, the mythological Goddess of Strife/Dischord.  Excerpts:

..I think personally his efforts to expose the corruption of governments are something to be applauded and am not surprised that Uranus should feature strongly in his chart. Jamie’s interpretation of Sun square Uranus describes him pretty well.“Their need to express their distinctive ego through their personality and career can often cause conflict with others because it can come across as abrupt, rebellious or just weird. There is no doubt however, that the tension of the square aspects pushes these people to achieve brilliance in creative self expression…of a different kind.”

But there is a Plutonic edge to him also, the uncovering the festering toxicity of the elite makes him an activist. He is not simply a rebel without a cause which can be one of the failings of the Uranus square. It goes much deeper.

What makes him stand out from other Uranian weirdo’s is the fact his Sun is caught in a T square between Uranus opposing a Eris/Chiron conjunction of just 44’
..
I really do see the archetype of Eris very strongly in him. Eris is the Goddess of discord. Even her discovery caused ructions as there was a dispute over what name to call her and then further controversy over the reclassification of planets leading to Pluto’s demotion. All very fitting for her birth into the collective consciousness.
..
 Eris is all about exposing vanity and petty one-upmanship.. (Diplomatic Cables, no?)
So in a chart Eris is where you are made the scapegoat, it’s the ugly duckling that doesn’t fit into the “Cool” gang  It’s where you throw eggs at politicians, where you scream “The Emperor has no clothes!”. Uranus doesn’t give a monkeys if he doesn’t fit in. If fact most of the time he is blissfully unaware that he is experienced as bonkers. Eris on the other hand cares very much. Her attitude is “One day I’ll show you”. She wants payback on all the playground teasing, she wants divine retribution. Conversely where Uranus is sometimes self-conscious, awkward and uncomfortable in social situations, Eris relishes in her “outlaw” status, milking it for all its worth. Unfortunately this bravado only serves to alienate her even more.

Eris’s general attitude is one of “If you can’t join them, beat them!”. She can be jealous and vengeful also, just as Ereshkigal was towards her sister Innana in the Mesopotamian version of the Persephone myth. Innana being the Venus/Aphrodite archetype. Eris is the shadow, like Pluto. She seems to be a cross between Pluto and Uranus, but dipped in Martian red warpaint. She is a Dark Goddess, but with less of the Neptune mysticism of Lilith. She is far more upfront and bolshy. Lilith is more seductive and bewitching, while Eris is ruthless predator when it comes to ensnaring her man.
And:
Eris..  takes the law into her own hands and is extremely ambitious. Like Anne Boleyn she wants to be Queen and could never be content with being a mere mistress. She will fight for the underdog and see that justice is done. She wants fairness and cannot abide hypocrisy. She is the ultimate Warrior Queen. Being a Goddess she does not do things in the normal linear masculine way, she challenges the concept of power, she encourages you to stand up to the bullies and turn the tables. She is the only match for Pluto because she can play him at his own game, twisting it to suit her own agenda. She ducks and dives, stealing Pluto’s invisible helmet at times. There she bides her time waiting for the optimum moment to shock her audience. The she will suddenly rip off her disguise to reveal flaming red tresses and her fearsome fiery whistle-blowing breath.
And:
Right now Julian has Tr Saturn opposing his Eris/Chiron conjunction. This is seriously blocking his ability as a warrior and maverick. Corrected by precession, Saturn is has only just made this aspect. It was exact on the 29th of November. By the end of December he should get his mojo back again..

Reinventing Your Life, Your Profession, Your Relationships, and Your Purpose

From Robert Wilkinson at Aquarius Papers  In an article full of perfect passages, these are my two favorites:

So if you struggle with endings, of unknowns and apprehensions of what will or will not be, detach from the "not knowing" and contemplate your life as a timestream of experiences coaxing forth skills, strengths, realizations and talents throughout the difficulties and endings. You are an eternally evolving Consciousness, collecting forms of understanding to apply in your world the best you are able.

You have imagination and an ability to be creative in ways you've never known. You have a mind that when trained can easily cut through illusions and fears and express the strength of your heart's direct knowing. With an open mind and a strong heart you can move into unknown futures and find yourself doing your Being in excellent ways.

Read the whole thing.  Good stuff.
