Hub-Hub about Age of Aquarius and 2-14-09

I've received several emails about 2-14-09 being the dawn of the age of Aquarius.

Happy Valentine's Day BTW

I would have responded sooner to this but alas I've been busy.

I will begin by saying that everyday we might meditate together in our seemingly separate bodies for peace and to so so at 11:25 pm PST on 2-13 or 12:25 am MST on 2-14 and so one across the USA (2-14 at 7:25 am GMT in Greenwich, England) on world peace and so on is always a good thing.

Perhaps the dawning of the Age of Aquarius is happening definitively on 2-14-09 as the authors of the Musical Hair have suggested, but once a month The Moon in Libra is in the 7th house. Mercury though in Capricorn is no where near Pluto in that same sign and Jupiter and Mars though close (within 2 degrees orb) are not exactly aligned. All the rest is pretty much true. And then again ...
On January 20th 1998 at 10:13 am PST Jupiter and Mars were less than 1 degree orb in Aquarius (closer than now) and the Moon was in Libra in the 7th house - but that wasn't the dawn of Aquarius? Every 11 years or so we have a Jupiter/Mars aligning in Aquarius and Moon in Libra enters the 7th house. I guess Feb 14th Valentine's day makes the big difference then?

Astronomical Terms of the Age of Aquarius

It has to do with precession. More precisely precession is the wobble of the Earth Axis as it moves around the Sun while moving around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The appearance is the movement of the constellations (and stars) around the point of the vernal equinox or a precession of equinoxes that happen due to the wobble of Earth on her axis and appears independent of the rotation of our planet around the Sun.

The precession of the equinoxes (of Spring) points to each constellation in a backwards motion, so that the Age of Pisces is followed by the Age of Aquarius and that is followed by the Age of Capricorn and so on to Aries... Each age is approximately 2,150 years long


The following quote is taken from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius

"In 1929, the International Astronomical Union
defined the edges of the 88 official constellations. The edge established between Pisces and Aquarius technically locates the beginning of the Aquarian Age around the year 2600. Many astrologers dispute this approach due to the varying sizes of the zodiacal constellations and overlap between the zodiacal constellations."

But technically speaking the vernal equinox enters the constellation of Aquarius in 2691 but does not leave the constellation of Pisces until 2817. Parts of the constellation Aquarius and Pisces overlap one another which could point to reasons where elements of both ages are blending now.

About the Two Ages

Pisces represents completion work having to do with compassion and spiritual from the most sublime to religious factions as well as ideals, dreams and visions and large institutions - corporations, governments and religious organizations. Aquarius represents astrology, democracy, invention, electronics, innovation, community, networking, the Internet, rebels, rebellion and revolution as well as world peace, singular thought and personal responsibility.
--------------------------------------

There are no lines in space so the Aquarian Age and the Piscean Age are blended giving us the opportunity to complete old business and begin new business simultaneously, which seems to be happening - aka solving global warming for the survival and benefit of all human-plant-animal and earth-being kind.

Moon Void of Course

You've never seen any writings from me on Moon Void of Course which literally means that the Moon does not have any major angles to it with planets just before it enters the next sign. During this time it is said that any endeavor will be for naught. So people who follow astrology closely believe that anything that one does during Moon Void of Course will be fruitless.

If you believe that then it will come to pass and this is another example of victim-think astrology. I, of course, do NOT believe Moon Void of Course has that effect on us. First of all those that consider major angles only in their interpretation leave out minor angles - a judgement call of convenience. Dane Rudyard said that minor angles unconsidered is foolishness and a waste of consciousness, I'm para-phrasing of course. Even if the moon did not have angles to planets or asteroids its likely that the energy would be pure allowing one to tap that mood and use it to create.

Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse in Leo 02-09

21 Leo, 02-09-09 at 6:49am
EARTHQUAKE WATCH:
Along the Mississippi River, The Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and Guatemala may be prone to earthquakes

Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse – 21 Leo, 02-09-09 at 6:49am

Begin with a Dream
Imagine a world in which people are treated as equals where injustice is a term from history, where the resources are treated with respect as they are received from the bounty of Earth – alternative fuels are replenished. Terrorism no longer exists because each human being lives with a replenishing supply of abundance and prosperity from Earth and each other.

In books by Jeffery Wolf Green an astrologer whose pioneering work on Pluto and outer planets nodes have shed light on great epochs of time and history talks about the nodes of Uranus. By taking stock in reincarnation the nodes of Uranus correspond to the group (generations) that transitioned the matriarchy to the patriarchy. These generations (those born from 1932 to the present) have the opportunity to become conscious of and join in transforming the world into the Aquarian Age from patriarchy to partnership.

The key instigating factors for Aquarian thinking to enter and manifest are linked with our survival as a species both from an economic perspective and from an environment perspective – vis a vis global warming. The state of the economy, fuel (oil) crisises, terrorism, world wide economic inequities and world peace and justice are all interrelated. The current mess we find ourselves in and its solution is a natural progression of systems interactions in a holistic manner that requires holistic solutions for the survival of all. See Paul Hawken's books and a networking website - http://www.wiserearth.org/
as some of the ways in which actions may be directed for Aquarian change.

Lunar Eclipse
The penumbral Lunar Eclipse is a partial where the moon dims and takes on a yellowish tint due to the Earth's shadow blocking a small portion of the moon. This partial Eclipse is visible in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. Parts of the western US and in Canada will see the eclipse at Sunrise/Moonset. See: http://www.hindu-blog.com/2009/01/chandra-grahan-in-february-2009.html
for more information, click on the map for a closer look.

Total Lunar Eclipses (12/21/2010 is the next total lunar eclipse) from an astrological/psychological perspective are about the release of shadow emotional issues. A penumbral lunar eclipse throws a partial shadow dimming the Sun. This may be a more difficult eclipse pattern because shadow issues are not as clearly defined as the dark shadow of a total.

The release of the shadows needed to move us further into the Aquarian age without dragging the illusions and delusions of the patriarchy with us is necessary if we are to move forward.

The dividing lines between the Piscean and Aquarian Ages are not exact, although by 2700 AD we will be into the Aquarian Age. One of the problems with determining this new age is that the constellation Pisces overlaps the Aquarian Constellation. Those of you that know something of astrology – waxing and waning proximity of two planets from an earth point of view makes exact lines in space impossible.

I invite you to seek a refinement in your consciousness as you hold and put aside the personal issues facing you to look at the larger picture of humankind and the fate/destiny of planet Earth.

Translation

One for all
And all for One!!! (or ONENESS)

One way to explore our quasi-shadow issues is to look at the quasi-shadow issues of those countries that will experience the totality of this penumbral eclipse:
1. Consider the shadow issues of China, India, the Koreas, Siberia, Alaska, Southeast Asia, Australia/New Zealand and Hawaii. This area is mostly Asian where earthquakes dominate.
2. Try not to think too much about the intellectual reasons for the shadow issues about these countries. Instead let any emotions you have about Asians etc come to the surface.
3. Look at negative reactions biases and so on. Shadow issues are about opposites and "the other". Often times we repress or suppress that we don't want to see. A good way to look at the shadow for me is I look to friend who drives me nutty. What is it about them that is like me that I don't like in myself or is opposite of me?
4. If you're having negative, critical or mildly irritating feelings about this topic or a need to be right at the expense of another or any negativity in general look towards forgiving the other or yourself.
5. Make a ritual of release to let go of negativity while you invent a new aspect of yourself to take the place of the negativity.

Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse – 21 Leo, 02-09-09 at 6:49am
The great hope that nearly everyone has been feeling can now can brought to the surface and utilized in recognizing the wounds of humanity and planet Earth that need healing. It's now possible to feel spirit and matter blending and see that the differences between peoples are easily reconciled with Love for our mutual survival.

Also the role of the individual working to release the shadow of the other as alien so that we all be partners working towards new solutions to old problems. We once relied on Big Daddy Government. Even though the Aquarian Age relies on all operating as One the role of the individual is vitally important as a responsive operating member of the team. We are not just robots in a network but having a network within we support the network outside.

The Network within is our thinking, emotion and somatic centers and how these centers connect with other members of our species to support the common good while still maintaining our integrity.

Now is the time for innovative and audacious thinking and acting as we question authority in a different way, building a new authority based on a didactic method of questions, answers, solutions and more questions.

Revolutionary/Evolutionary overthrow of the Old Order

01-12 to 2-22
The first occurrence of this influence was Election Day Nov 4th 2008.

We're in the second occurrence
It begins building on 1-12
The aspect peaks with the most intensity on 2/5
It wanes in intensity until 2-22

9/15/09
4/26/10
7/26/10


The tone that was set for the first occurrence was Obama's election to the Presidency of the United States. The themes as personified in McCain representing the old patriarchal order – traditional methods of government and Obama representing a coalition to make changes, uniting all peoples – an Aquarian revolution.

The power of the revolution / evolution is very powerful and the forces of the overthrow are great. The power of the tradition of the patriarchy is also very strong and steeped in the power of the organization. Part of the difficulty we are having with the sluggish economy is the opposition between these two forces – the old familiar ways and the new way.

These forces we can see everywhere outside us and if we are very astute we can see that they are inside us too. Think of that which frightens you. This may be difficult to do because we seek comfort in the world. We are not seeking fearful situations to overcome them because we are hiding from our fears. The very nature of hiding from our fears is the basis of neurosis. Inside each of us is the desire for order and comfort that comes from the familiar organizations providing the security that as westerners we've grown accustomed. Let's not rock the boat and let everything unfold, as it should. Clearly that kind of thinking is no longer working – why? We live in a new world with many changes on many levels.

In us are the forces for change. Those impulsive urges with us that want to overthrow the old order. Impulsivity arises from acting on spontaneous urges and is associated with youth. Older people are likely to be less impulsive because a certain order is maintained based on experimenting with dysfunctional patterns until a comfort zone is established and maintained. Then our brains get used to these patterns. For instance – one may know one needs to make a change but not do it for a variety of reasons including severe disruptions of the comfort zone.

There is a fundamental disagreement about the direction of the change. The volatility of the astrological aspect and the nature of the world could be said to have produced the latest war between the Hamas and Israel in Gaza for example.

However the conflict here in the United States between how to solve the economic crisis is more altruistically motivated from an Aquarian agenda. We now have a leader that is crafting a middle way through the mess. The pulse of the nation is hope coupled with a "wait and see" approach. This pass of the aspect (Saturn opposing Uranus) focuses on that we're all in it together and that we need experimental solutions that will bring us into a new world order.
