Astrology for Susi 2009

hello Susi!... the picture above shows your own natal chart on the LHS upper, with the transiting planets for the 19th of Feb 2009 on the RHS upper.charts from WhatWatch at papertv.com

JUST LOOK at the red and green lines on these two charts: not too much stuff - some nice green ones (easy energy flows) and RED lines (harder energy flows).

And so, for you, overall, your chart looks like there is alot of little challenges in life, but overall, the world presents you with a nice combination of easy and not so easy energy. The planets, at the moment, are somewhat challenging (upper RHS).... stronger conflicting energies, but nothing catastrophic, in general... ........

NOW, below these two charts, are the three charts showing the transiting planets, over your chart, for the next three days... as you can see, the transiting planets trigger ALOT more stuff in your chart - lots of red lines, and also quite a few green ones.

WHAT does this mean????????

well, it means that things are rather complex for you, in general, more complex than what the actual days present. There is a tendency to go back, into yourself, to worry, to fret, to feel overwhelmed, and confined.... and all of this is very maneagable. Also, this type of stuff will go on for quite some time - throughout the entire year, and so it is best to get a handle on it now, rather than later. at times, so much will be happening for you that the load may seem somewhat unbearable at times, unless you take the correct stance... from your spiritual stronghold!!! and then...... the rewards will be absolutely wonderful!!!

I am not promising a total heaven on earth scenario, should your spirit take charge and stay in charge, ......... more like, this promises to be a year when lots of hard work can be done,and many rewards will be received from that work.......

to achieve these rewards, and to master your harder tasks, here are a few reminders to help you one your way:-

1. In time and space, life can seem rather confining, but outside it all is YOUR spirit!! it is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and it takes this particular life rather seriously, especially when working to serve the world at large.

2.Your spirit is infinite, infatiguable, expansive and fun loving.

3.You know your spirit better than anyone else on earth here, and so, make very good intimate friends with it over this coming year, and help it get it's work done...

4.and most importantly, be a little audacious, be fun loving, relish new opportunities, instead of dreading their weight.

5. rejoice in powerful rituals, keep your self balanced and calm when things begin to "whirr" about you, and enjoy your moments of spiritual solitude and hidden acts of courage that only you can feel..........

6. relish in the challenges, and above all .... believe that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to.... just stop looking BACK in worry!!!

Now, are you familiar with fractal theory, Mandelbrot's equations that lead to those beautiful patterns from mathematical calculations? (no, not the Benoit Mandelbrot that pigs out on food in my back yard! The REAL Benoit Mandelbrot!!! the mathematical wizard!)

The basis, appears to me, that everything has an essence, and from that essnce flows a most wonderfully totally unique pattern. This pattern, is, however, repeated in different way, perpetually changing, but always, the same "essence keeps appearing, coming through in different ways.

Well, i had a look at some of your patterns, as the astrology chart can give this information, and when i linked up this patterning with the Sabian symbols, I discovered the following:-

when we are born, our first breaths somehow become one with the planet earth, and the solar system, and then, this breathing keeps echoing its pattern, into our life force, and our time here on earth. Th first patterns of breath are somehow echoed over and over again throughout our lives, but form more complex, and intricate patterns of life. However the basic essence is still the same.

AND so, when i look at the first half hour of your life, i came up with the following:-

(now, i chose to limit myself to the first half hour of your life due to three particular signs. I won't go into them, but the signs were very clear, as to when i should stop, say enough is enough, I HAVE found the patterns that i am after.... to explain to you!!!)

and so... here they are....

firstly, in your chart, there are planetary configurations that form strong tensions, for quite a number of months with transiting planets...... indicating that you will somehow grow very strong, and your character will become stronger, and more disciplined (especially in joyful approach).

secondly, well here are the patterns:-

**you are proud, lucky and brave, you love to party and fellowship with others, your sense of ritual and worship is strong, and you discover love when you least feel like you are going to.

**when love and rituals become strong in your life, your life can become "dizzy", but gathering strength from the past, spiritual ancestors, past achievements, can ground you again.

**eventually you wake up from your disturbed, repetative worrying, sense of confinement and groundhog days to master your senses and emotions, do what others only dream of doing, and have amazing moments of absolute peace, like a calm boat on a blue ocean, with seagulls flying about, but still experiencing hypervigilance or worry at what may be next to happen.

**You then go inward, connect with your greater spirit, awaken in strength and gather more spirits about you to perform important rituals.

**You do this largely feeling alone and unrecognised, but have unwavering braveness, and gather the child within to remember to play along the way.

**eventually you then find deep inner peace, alone, with your spiritual kind, but your spirit remains largely unkown to others - it is a mystery to those about you, but to you it is great strength, and united with like spirits.

**finally, as the cycle comes to a close, you see the magic of the dawn, the awesomeness of where you have come from, and where you spirit IS. You can delight in simple social events with a free mind and relaxed attitude, and through an inventive, funloving but serious mind, you create beautiful spaces in existence, drawing on past resources.

and THAT is THAT... the essence of you that i have glimpsed. thiese cyclical events go on and on... sometimes a struggle, sometimes an epiphany, sometimes, just moments of bliss, and fun... always giving to the world, always becoming more of a mastered person and spirit...... so,, don't forget... when times get tough?...... you are well and truly up to it!!! and more!!

hope this hels you through any annoying earthly stuff this year... make a copy of this, learn your inner patterns of self and spirit - they are very cool patterns!!! luv da fire monki

Mercury Rising in conjunction with Moon, Jupiter and Mars

The 2009 pass by MERCURY over Mars and Jupiter after Mercury has gone DIRECT again, early 2009.

 This should be a beautiful event to "just" see in the sky. It is on the 23rd of February, 2009, about an hour before the sun rises, the sky will be getting rather light in the east. 

The MOON, then MERCURY, then JUPITER, then MARS will rise, rather close together. The SUN is still below the horizon, at this time, about 26 degrees away from the moon. Midway between these planets and the Sun, NEPTUNE and CHIRON will be rising. 

This time of morning has a beautiful special magic attached to it, and prayer can be used very positively at this time of morning. I would be expecting alot of birds to sing in this morning, as it begins.

The flow of energy in this

conjunction is

the waning MOON rises, emotional "breathing out" period

then the magic of the mind rises in MERCURY

following closely behind is the 

majesty of JUPITER and its accumulated knowledge from humanity

and then rising is

MARS the action, directional husbandry and stewardship.

After this rises

NEPTUNE - vision maker, dreamer and prayers of faith

with

CHIRON - the healing point

then

the

SUN

You can see in the above chart that after these planets rise (they start to rise at about 4.44am daylight savings,EST ),  about an hour or so after this comes the SUN! The SPIRIT. Yes, this days looks like a nice one to greet very early. 

Sometimes, standing with one's back to the east, sometimes, these planets can be felt, rather easily, and subtly perceived, as they rise.  

At other times, you may be facing east to greet them. 

What is interesting is to just be very still, clear, with nothing in your mind, and to just be open to sensing them, as they rise - this can create all types of "doorways" to perceptions of the individual planetary bodies.

Retrograde Mercury

Mercury retrograde 12/01/2009 - 02/02/2009

Mercury goes retrograde regularly. What is retrograde?  It is apparent backward motion of a planetary object. Wall Street Weather has quite a few articles on retrograde mercury concerning the money picture and finance. 

Mercury resonates with:

thinking, ideas, short journeys, local communications, work with the hands, general daily tasks, neighbours, close relatives, siblings, talking, writing, reading, phonecalls, pathways, roads, rail, letters - these things have a MERCURY symbolic value. URANUS is the higher "octave" of MERCURY. Thus, Uranus rules long distance communications, electricity, longer journeys - particularly those through air. 

Mercury and Hermes have alot in common, as do magic, slight of hand, tricks and spoken lore. 

You can often pick "mercury rising" people - they often have hand movements with their speech,  seem somewhat alert to conversation, possibly with communications and short journeys prominent in their lives.

Looking at the SUN as the centre of the solar system, the next most relevant planetary body is the moon. 

IN the traditional astrology chart, with the sun ruling the fifth house, LEO, you will see that the MOON rules the fourth house, and that, either side of both those houses and signs, lie the 3rd and 6th houses - both RULED by MERCURY. 

The 3rd house is GEMINI and the 6th house is VIRGO. 

It is in these houses ( or spheres of human activity) that, after the spirit manifests, and takes form, the communications and daily life patterns occur. This is the daily business beyond love  (LEO and 5th house, enjoyment, children, creativity) and nurturing (CANCER and the 4th house, home, hearth, beginnings, endings, shelter). 

Mercury daily business is about communicating, travel, health, general diet, ideas, thinking, pathways, both inside and outside our home and heart's door and inside our body and mind.

When Mercury goes retrograde (apparently backward in it's movement through the sky), these things symbolic of mercury can appear a little retarded, sluggish, slow, thwarted, hesitent, indecisive, tricky, cumbersome, frustrating, memory filled).

Mercury retrograde is, in essence, a reminder to go over what we have been doin, because we get a second chance to refine what has happened, and once mercury has finished appearing to go backwards through the sky, it will , after passing MARS in the sky, start its movement forwards again. At some point, the MOON will reach Retrograde MERCURY and MARS in the sky. This pass is on 25th January, 2009 at about 10am EST (11am daylight saving) east coast of Australia. 

****A month later, on 23rd February, 2009, early in the morning (Australia Eastern seaboard), about an hour before the sun actually rises, Mercury will be close to the Moon, Jupiter, and Mars.  Neptune will be just rising with Chiron, also, but not seen by naked eye, before the sun finally rises. This morning promises many fine moments for prayer and meditation.

****On February 2nd, Mercury finally goes DIRECT again, but by this time, it has passed MARS in the sky, and so , as it moves faster than Mars, it will again pass MARS during the  2nd and 3rd of of March 09, and should be visible in the morning sky with luck, very close to the horizon, just before the sun rises.

Moon in Grand cross with Saturn, Uranus and Quaoar

An example of a powerful magical time to empower self truth and help heal mass consciousness and social thinking. The chart (from WhatWatch Astrology program at paperTV.com) above shows mars and the moon culminating in square to Saturn & Uranus, and pulling Pluto and Quaoar into square, at the base of the chart. The red lines show tensions. It can be seen here that limitations and teachings stress social consciousness and these both, in turn, cause tension with transformations and new creative beginnings. The green lines - flowing and ease. It can be seen here that the knowledge, vision and healing (jupiter, neptune,chiron) flow easily to actions and emotions (mars,moon). A great time to wake up!!!!

Over the coming months, the opposition between Saturn and Uranus will be going through a rather strange "re-affirmation" of their negotiated strengths.

These two planets have been in opposition since OCTOBER 2008, and the tensions of their symbology relate to :

SATURN as a teacher and builder in VIRGO through daily health, mundane activity - opposing - URANUS as the mass consciousness and social networks in PISCES through mass healing, faith and all things unseen.

I guess that as an example, there are tensions currently being felt between those community and social custodians (who endeavour, at the earth's insistence, to bring about environmental acountability at a practical day to day level) on one hand, and on the other hand, the massed consciousness and deep social subconsious motivations that are coming to grips with where mankind's spirit interfaces with the reality of what "is" and what "will be" (and what we WANT).

Putting it bluntly:-

The "living of a lie" will come up to face us, squarely in our eyes. If we refuse to open our eyes, this lie will try to be seen and resolved in our sleep and our subconscious activities. The living of a lie can make people sick. The living of a social lie can make society sick. However, through deep tensions of the heavenly "stories", following this opposition of SATURN and URANUS over the next year and a half, or so, can help us see the "lie", recognise it and move towards truth - inner truth and social truth - and hence - wellness of being.

SATURN and URANUS will stay in opposition until about the end of MARCH 2009, after which, tension will lessen until, again, through AUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2009, the tension will mount again, peaking just before SEPTEMBER 15th 2009. Now, this opposition just doesn't go away then, but travelling forward, into 2010, these two planets begin this opposing tension again, in late APRIL and MAY 2010 and by JULY 26th 2010, this tension will have climaxed for this long opposition, with it finally fading by mid AUGUST 2010. Interestingly enough, the final climaxing of this tension takes place, not in PISCES and VIRGO, but in ARIES and LIBRA - signifying many new "individual agreements" and new partnerships and compromises.

It will take just over another twenty years for SATURN to finally catch URANUS in the sky, to conjunct with it in the beginning of CANCER, which is the base of the traditional horoscope, where beginnings and endings take place. Why am I saying all of this?

Because the world moves slowly, but our KARMIC "graces" are catching up with us rather quickly, on a social level, and as the mass consciousness mounts, at ever increasing rates towards it's own new heights of awareness - it pays to plan ahead.

What passes now can help form the road upon which others travel later. These are unusual times. To help foster healthy, truthful mass consciousness, internal truths are best dealt with now rather than later. Thus helping ourselves and others heal. The flow on from this healing is MASSIVE!!!!!!!

NOW, transits of the MOON can highlight all kinds of emotions and mass movements. Following the MOON transits, across this opposition, can help shine light on emotional blocks, deep seated "home truths" and how to find the courage to create new beginnings.

The movement of the MOON, in relation to SATURN and URANUS over this coming year and a half can help us find appropriate times to journey inward and help ourselves to some spiritual medicine, nurturing and comfort, as we work towards helping our "reality" and the REALITY meet comfortably (without the doublespeak and dichotomies of current personal and social "TRUTHS").

And so, we have discussed SATURN, URANUS, the MOON - what next?

Squaring both SATURN and URANUS is the trans-neptunian object, QUAOAR(singing into creation) in Sagittarius (knowledge and higher mind).

To have QUAOAR here can help strengthen resolve and understanding to really create the VISION of health and truth, that will take us forward to new beginnings 20 years from now.

And strengthening this resolve to uncover our hidden agendas and doublespeak - to be that little boy in the EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES story, and help awaken everybody at all levels, this can indeed be a wonderful thing.

So, as the tensions mount, with this slow SATURN/URANUS (teacher/mass thinking) opposition, and as they both square QUAOAR (singing into creation) slowly, also, it will be the moon that most frequently forms a grand cross with these three bodies.

And the GRAND CROSS is one of the most marvellous tools for self improvement and getting to the NEXT LEVEL!!! There will be times, almost monthly, when this grand crossing occurs, and in the next entry, I shall endeavour to list these times, briefly, rather approximately, and leave it up to the individuals' instincts to fine tune the "moment" of MAGIC and inner truth seeking.
