New Moon and New Year / February 5th Eastern hemisphere / 04th February Western hemisphere

I would like to start my new-moon article with a quote from the Sabian Symbol of this degree (15-16 Aquarius

„A great deal of what is glowingly written about the Aquarian Age is probably sheer glamour. The New Age should be one in which man learns to use the power generated by human togetherness and group interplay — that is, to use it harmoniously for the welfare of the whole of which all individuals are parts, humanity and the planet Earth “

This new moon is the start of the New Year in Chinese Tradition. The new moon takes place on the 5th of February (time zone of China). To the Chinese and their astronomical calendar referring to a 12 year cycle, it is the year of the Earth Pig, which is said to be a very material, financially successful period, which gives me reason to calculate the horoscope for Hong Kong – and for 3 other major financial spots on earth.

One is calculated for London, where the Greenwhich 0 Longitude Meridian is placed, reference to calculating the Greenwich Mean time (GMT) also called UT / Universal Time that any astronomy date is calculated. An other Horoscope is calculated for New York, with Wall Street as one of the financial centers on Earth 
The reason, why I did so, may be found in the Sabian Symbol for this New Moon, taking place at 15-16 degree Aquarius:

PHASE 316 
A BIG BUSINESSMAN AT HIS DESK.
KEYNOTE:The ability to organize the many aspects of an enterprise involving a large group of human beings.

If you are aware of the current political debate in America, you may have noticed, that with Donald Trump a “business leader” is at the desk of the White House. You may also have noticed, that in the past days the founder and CEO of “Starbucks” the company paying no taxes almost anywhere on earth, but successfully selling coffee all over the world, is considering a run on the American Presidency. Partly the media is in a hype for him, partly media and political people are against him with a: “oh no, not another business man with no political experience but a lot of money to buy a campaign”.
With this in mind, I was almost shocked to see the Sabian Symbol for the new moon. 
It IS about a business man. it IS about financial success…. and more.
So let me quote the comment, Dane Rudhyar wrote to this Sabian Symbol:

„A great deal of what is glowingly written about the Aquarian Age is probably sheer glamour. The New Age should be one in which man learns to use the power generated by human togetherness and group interplay — that is,to use it harmoniously for the welfare of the whole of which all individuals are parts, humanity and the planet Earth. This has never been achieved and only very rarely attempted. Mankind today must make a thorough and irresistible attempt, or be nearly destroyed — except for a creative „remnant“ of seed-persons who would have to begin again from new foundations. In the field of big business, of huge war undertakings (like the Normandy landing in World War II) or of major national efforts (like the Moon landings) great results have been achieved, but the motive and the quality of the human interrelationships involved were neither of permanent significance nor invested with a truly harmonic quality. The character of the techniques used were totally un-satisfactory from a „human“ point of view. Nevertheless there is much to learn from modern large-scale management and systems analysis, even in terms of personal endeavors of very limited scope.
This is the first stage in the sixty-fourth five-fold subcycle. It introduces the concept of management which is basic at this period of the cyclic life process which the zodiac symbolizes, yet which needs to be totally reevaluated if mankind is to actualize the spiritual potentialities implied in the evolutionary transformation just ahead.
ORGANATION should be the Keyword, rather than mere „organization“; for humanity now can and should realize that it is indeed an „organism.“

There is a new year starting in China, a looming Brexit in Britain, and America under a business man in reign, and other business man claiming their grasp on a presidency. Despite the charts themselves, it may therefore be of fortune to look where the challenges of each chart is arising

So we have a new year in China, a looming Brexit in Britain, and America under a business man in reign, and other business man claiming their grasp on a presidency. Despite the charts themselves, it may therefore be of fortune to look where the challenges of each chart is arising

If you take a closer look, you may see that the ascendant of the new Moon in Hongkong is Capricorn. The Aquarian new moon falls into the second house. Saturn Pluto at the Ascendant in Capricorn may show some underlying questions: China a country coming out of a Saturn phase, where poverty was amongst their citizens, one child policy needed to stop an expansion of population beyond the structure they were able to feed themselves in autonomy. China is a large buyer of land and of resources on Earth, especially of rare earths, which are used in new technology like mobiles or computers. The new Moon of this new year falls in to the second house, so the challenge and the task are the own resources, 2nd house. The resources of other countries are seen in the 8th house so the new moon emphasizes the business with the own resources, with the own soil, the own dragon power, the own structures, rather than with other countries and nations resources. 
Saturn in Capricorn refers to the own structure. It is materializing matter. But in esoteric terms, Saturn itself in Capricorn asks whether the structures for a spiritual life are build. With Pluto on the Ascendant in Capricorn, the dealing and marketing of resources of earth will not be that successful on the long run, if too much emphasis is put upon. 
Even therefore the earth pig is a very material sign, with plot on the ASC the task is rather how to adapt to a changing surrounding and rare resources – resources that may show a lack very soon. with Pluto at the ASC China also may face a nuclear arms race as a striving world power to be. With Mars and Uranus at the IC though, Chinas power in arms may not necessarily in the traditional weaponry, but in a new form of warfare. 
Now let’s take a look to London. 

With a Brexit looming, the new moon takes place in the 5th house of self expression. Venus is at the IC, so the inner values may be of the utmost importance, expressing in a new form of self-expression. The whole economy of Great Britain may be in an adaption to a new quality of expression, yet only successful if adapted to the needs of earth and community. the nodes in the 10th house tell a tale on a new placement in purpose, while the southern node in the 4th house may show an alteration on each “home”. 
Referring to New York, we see an other emphasis of that theme. The new moon is placed in the 7th house, the house of partners and marriages. One sing of this may be then seen in contracts kept, forming partnerships. Pluto and Saturn in the 6th house together with the nodes may show, that this may have a great impact on the economy referring to the every day work workers do. 

America has all planets in the right hemisphere of the horoscope. This shows a time of harvest, where one needs to rely on the seeds already planted and blooming. the „others“ are coming to bring the harvest, the fruits of the efforts of the past. It may be an odd time for this harvest, as the crops they try to reap may be rich in fruit, or low growing due to disasters that took place, shattering the seeds. Mars is at the highest place in the chart, at the MC, so it may also be a harvest of all the wars fought.,or yet to come. It is likely that this may lead to a kind of war, at least to an incredible amount of energy and effort of each individual in order to fulfill something.

No matter whether Hong Kong, London, New York, Rio or Tokyo, the challenge of today is not only the Business Man, but to understand Earth as an organism. 
it is not about seeing economics as a market, woven by calculable arithmetic. 
It is about Earth
It is about the awareness, that success involves her whole entity. 
The success may not be measured in $, Yen, Yuan or British Pound under the Bottom line. 
Her measurement is the success of humanity and all life upon her. 
I would like to close this article with a quote of Dane Rudhyar’s interpretation of the Sabian Symbol:

(..) the concept of management which is basic at this period of the cyclic life process which the zodiac symbolizes, yet which needs to be totally reevaluated if mankind is to actualize the spiritual potentialities implied in the evolutionary transformation just ahead.
ORGANATION should be the Keyword, rather than mere „organization“; for humanity now can and should realize that it is indeed an „organism.“

The new year 2019 started with a solar eclipse on 06.01. It belonged to a series of Saros Cycle  active throughout 2000.

This is followed by the total lunar eclipse from 20/21^st January,  visible from Europe. This eclipse belongs to Saroscycle Lunar 134 and is part of multiple series of Eclipses that led through the year 2001, the year that represented a turning point in the lifestyle of the world in the aftermath of  9/11, and led to several wars. The consequences of this event and the wars that followed still have a negative impact and grip on humanity as a whole, the way we deal politically internationally with each other, how we see religions and certain religious practices, and impacted the quality of life on Earth.

In this article I aim to give an overview of the energies that repeat themselves cyclically and are part of an underlying theme on the collective mindset in 2019. I also aim to show what the original energies were about and what potential they carry in their highest purpose. (read more…

The eclipse series Saros Lunar 134 started in 1550. All eclipses of this series happen with the moon on the ascending node, the sun on the descending node.

In general, the moon is usually referred to as mind and emotions while the sun is a symbol for one’ own life force and consciousness. On the global level, the moon is said to be a symbol for the people of a nation, so the population or citizens, while the sun symbolizes the ruler, the king of a country.

In medieval times, a solar eclipse was a symbol for the death of a king, a change in reign and ruler in the country where it was visible. Eclipses in their visibility changed events and outcomes e.g. on the battlefields.

Solar eclipses have a stronger effect on governments, lunar eclipses more on the area, how the population perceives and how they are doing. On a broader concept therefore one may say, Solar Eclipses are attributed to the king, lunar eclipses to the people, the wellbeing of a nation.

The energies of the first of this eclipse series was – seen in Sabian  Symbols – as following:

Moon:
A pugilist enters the ring
The release and glorification of social aggressiveness.
Keyword: Overwhelming power.

Sun:
A Sunday crowd enjoying the beach
A revivifying contact with the motherforce of nature and of social togethernes
Keyword: oceanic feeling

On the side of the moon, we see the image of a boxer. symbolization of the glorification of aggressiveness. The boxer enters the sparring is gloriously and socially recognized,  even admired for releasing aggression in a certain way. Usually the sparring is in the light, the boxer known by name, while the people watching it are namelessly gathering around the area of the sparring.

The symbol of the sun shows a crowd of people enjoying the beach. The experience the powerful elements of nature in a social environment, a dive into oceanic feelings of togetherness together with people partly known, mostly unknown to onself. The one on the “stage” though is nature in its force. The ocean as place of birth of all life on Earth.

It is the contrast between artificially created display, controlled release of human aggressivity and the collective emotion and recharging of life force through the power and force of the elements of Earth. In both cases, the single participant of the crowd is almost nameless and unimportant as individual. In both cases there is participation in an event. But in one case it’s about an ego-force, trained, channeled and then showcased in a social accepted way, in the other cosmic and planetary forces are always at work in their own rhythm and cycle, and are just consciously experienced together.

The Lunareclipse of this series in 2001 showed as symbolism:

Moon:
A hidden choir is singing during a religious service
The fulfillment of the individual’s creative function through his participation in a group performance consecrated in a transcendent realization of unity.
Keyword: Plenitude of being.

Sun:
Venetian Gondoliers giving a serenade
Happiness as an overtone of social integration and conformity to custom
Keyword: Festivity

The participants in the boxing match, not visible in the limelight, are now giving way to a hidden choir singing for a religious ceremony. The ocean and the oceanic experience of the force of nature gives way to the evening scene in Venice, songs are also sung, but in the second symbol but not in the background of a ritual religious ceremony but a more cultural hymn, a  song sung for the inhabitants or the passengers in the boat and the citizens and tourists of a town.

Both scenes are human-made moments, they include sound. And a celebration of something in a larger context and crowd.

Looking at this energy and to how 2001 was experienced one may see the rift in the energy possible and the one that was actually lived.  The hidden choir may be a symbol for plans in the background, the religious ceremony though showed as a war against Islamic nations. The cultural values of the West was targeted and challenged from the East, seemingly attacked by motives of religion and lifestyle.
The gondoliers were chanting songs of war, NATO countries working together under Article V as USA called the allies to help. As a result, there were declarations of war on terror that were in fact wars on nations populations mainly belonging to the religious and cultural majority of the aggressors.

The symbols speak of festivities and celebrations, of planned and trained songs performed as a group in the background, fellowship in small and large ceremonial, religious and cultural actions, it showed festivities, livelihood, celebrations of joy and plenitude. But the year 2001 brought the opposite – the international community was culturally and religiously divided into axes of evil on one side, and the good allies on the other. The overtones of songs, the sounds of joy, were silenced in collectively displayed aggressiveness, individual acts against cities and states – retaliation war against „marked“ opponents and countries that were not involved at all or not that deep as blamed.

With that in mind, a look on the January 20/21 energy:

The Sabian Symbols for the eclipse from 20/21st January are:

Moon:
Blood rushes to a man’s head as his vital energies are mobilized under the spur of ambition.
An Eruption of bio-psychic energies into the ego-controlled field of consciousness.
Keyword: Conflagration

Sun:
An old adobe mission in California.
The power inherent in all great human works to endure far beyond the workers’ life span.  
Keyword: The concretization of an ideal.

The symbolism now shows the energy of a man whose blood is rushing in the head, because ambitions and ego energies take possession of him. His energies erupt uncontrollably into the collective, setting things on fire in a blaze.
The Sun’s symbol displays  an old adobe building, an old mission in California, and the power that lies in all the work and cooperation of people who want to build something of value that lasts beyond their own lives. Ideals that want to be realized.

What is really interesting in this symbolism is to compare them with everyday events. One can not help but to compare it to public events and speeches given by “Trump”. Mr. Trump, a man that usually looks is quite red-faced in public, as if the blood has rushed to his head. But quite often also tempered, and therefore setting things on fire in erupting ambition, mostly ego-driven.


I therefore like to point out, that it is also important to see, on what date during the year the Lunareclipse is occurring. American Presidents are inaugurated (since the 1930’s) on January 20, when the sun reaches 1 Aquarius.

The symbol for 1 Aquarius is:
An adobe mission in California
The power inherent in all great human works to endure for beyond the workers’ life span.  
Keyword: The concretization of an ideal

The American presidency since the 20^th century is therefore rooted in the energy , which the eclipse is activating or overshadowing. The American Dream, democracy and republic,  is the dream of more than one life span. The nation as a whole is the concretization of an ideal. And now it is faced by a man whose blood rushes into his head due to ambition.

Just as in 2001 where the symbol of the religious choir distorted into wars between religions and worldviews, so may the image of a over-energized ambitious man on one hand be a threat for the building of ideas. The world faces on the political arena a person like Trump, currently shutting the democratic processes down to fund a wall, a building that may endure its own lifetime while violate the ideals that are vested in the presidency itself. Trump may be eclipsing the values of America, so to speak.

The image emphasizes a rush of energy not well handled, uncontrolled and therefore harming, setting ablaze while bursting into the outer, while on the other hand  an image of old ideals exist, in a quite, almost resting mode. Almost as a tradition remembered, not necessarily a building inhabited. The old, clay-built mission indicates an enduring act, a house of collective significance, in time and space. It’s not about only a house, but a mission. A mission served as a building to spread a religion in an area unknown of it, whether this spreading was peaceful or violent, welcome or rejected.
Yet as the mission building survived the times, it was successful.

In a strange way therefore the symbol of the adobe mission in California shows also the energy of the nearby Mexican boarder and lifestyle, the connection to South America, and how the American way of life and the South Americas intermixed and blended their ways of living.  

The images of the previous lunar eclipses were European as well as global in nature. Churches, choirs can exist almost everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Oceans and beaches exist all over the planet. Gondoliers exists only in Venice, i.e. in a spatially and culturally limited area, where people have reconciled with the forces of the nearby ocean flooding their city. The forces of nature are taking back their ground, while gondoliers sing their songs in the life that slowly adapts to it.
The sounds of a choir takes place in a ceremony, the flooding of the city by the ocean takes place slowly over centuries, adaptable for the inhabitants so far.

In the Arc and overview to the point of origin – we see a symbol that captures the display of aggressiveness – the sparring boxer, who trains to show off in an artificial fight that serves to discharge mass emotion. It is replaced by a single human being where the energy is rushing to the head through ambition and situations not well handled.
There is no release of energy in a formalized way, but the explosion of energy in an uncontrolled manner.

The images of togetherness, of oceanic feelings by experiencing the elements and the forces of nature disappeared. It is a building. Quiet. Still. Contrasting the constant movements of nature, waves on a shore.

This solar eclipse therefore may show the danger of forces not handled well, of lost contacts to nature and society, and overflowing ambitions, egos crying for power, not able to handle them.

Old venerable traditions and buildings are a target of this energy outburst, quiet energies that existed reliably as an offer may now be endangered by energy outbreaks.

As mentioned before, eclipses always are a time of changing, and in the traditional way to see them, a solar eclipse was seen as death(replacement) of the king/ruler of a country. As his eclipse series is incredible deeply woven in events with 2001  and therefore with America, and as the eclipse from January 20/21 is the inauguration date of all presidents (since 1930’s) I predict that Trump will be overthrown or needs to resign during this year, not necessarily in January, but most likely during the solar eclipses in the summer (July 2019).

If Trump is not leaving the presidency, the energy of this eclipse and the eclipse series indicate that the presidency itself, and the way the energies are handled, twill undermine the ideals of the founding fathers, of democracy and republic, and therefore the Presidency itself will undergo vast changes. Either Trump is replaced, or the presidency and democracy of America is altered beyond recognition.

But more on that in the article to come…..

My individual advice for the current eclipse indicates to be self-confident, self-critical, aware and mindful of both your own energies and the collective issues. Balancing the forces that want to rush in the head with ambition.
It is of similar importance to be aware of the rifts in society that emerged after 9/11 through naming and blaming of opponents instead of a togetherness as a human family, impressed by nature in an oceanic feeling of its forces.

Blessings to you and good luck in case you like to observe the lunar eclipse

May the stars shine upon you, and may your own inner star show you the way.

Das neue Jahr 2019 begann mit einer Sonnenfinsternis am 06.01. Sie gehörte zu einer Sarosserie, die 2000 aktiv war.

Nun folgt am 21.01. die totale Mondfinsternis, die von Europa aus sichtbar ist, und diese gehört einem der Saroszyklusse an, die durch das Jahr 2001 führten, das Jahr, das mit 9/11 eine Zäsur im Lebensstil der Welt darstellte, und zu mehreren Kriegen führte, deren Folgen bis heute die internationale Gemeinschaft negativ hineinwirken und die Lebensqualität auf der Erde beeinträchtigte.

Mein Anliegen mit diesem Artikel ist daher einen Überblick über die Energien zu geben, die sich zyklisch wiederholen und damit 2019 kollektiv mit bestimmen, und aufzuzeigen, was die Energie der Finsternisse als Entfaltungsmöglichkeit und Arbeitspotenzial in sich tragen.

Die Finsternisserie Saros Lunar 134, der die Mondfinsternis vom 21.01. angehört, startete 1550.  Sie ist eine Mondfinsternisserie, die am aufsteigenden Mondknoten stattfindet. Der Mond, die Gefühle im Kollektiv, stehen am aufsteigenden MK, die Sonne steht jeweils am absteigenden Mondknoten. Neben der allgemeinen Deutung von Mond = Gefühle, Sonne = Lebenskraft und bewusstsein kann man kollektiv auch die Entsprechung Mond = Bevölkerung, Sonne = Herrscher / Regierende eines Landes ansehen. Sonnenfinsternisse wirken hierbei stärker auf Regierungen, Mondfinsternisse eher auf den Bereich, wie sich die Bevölkerung wahrnimmt und wie es ihnen geht.

Mond:
A pugilist enters the ring
The release and glorification of social aggressiveness.
Keyword: Overwhelming power.

Sonne: a
Sunday crowd enjoying the beach
a revivifying contact with the motherforce of nature and of social togetherness
Keyword: oceanic feeling

Auf der Seite des Mondes ist also das Bild eines Boxers, der den Sparring betritt, um auf glorreiche Art und sozial anerkannt. oder sogar bewundert,  Aggression freizusetzen.

Die Seite der Sonne zeigt eine Menschenmenge, die den Strand genießen. Sie erleben die kraftvollen Elemente der Natur in einem sozialen Umfeld, tauchen in ozeanische Gefühle der Gemeinsamkeit ein.

Es ist der Kontrast zwischen künstlich hergestellter Zurschaustellung, und der kollektiven Ergriffenheit und dem Auftanken von Lebenskräften durch die Kraft der Erde. In beiden Fällen verschwimmt der einzelne Teilnehmer der Menge. In beiden Fällen gibt es die Teilnahme an einem Event. Doch in einem Falle geht es um eine Ego-kraft, trainiert, kanalisiert und dann sozial akzeptiert zur Schau gestellt, in dem anderen um kosmische und planetarische Kräfte, die immer wirken, und bewusst miteinander erlebt werden.

Die Sonnenfinsternis dieser Serie in 2001 hatte folgende Energie.

Mond:
A hidden choir is singing during a religious service
The fulfillment of the individual’s creative function through his participation in a group performance consecrated in a transcendent realization of unity.
Keyword: Plenitude of being.

Sonne:
Venetian Gondoliers giving a serenade
Happiness as an overtone of social integration and conformity to custom
Keyword: festivity

Die im Rampenlicht nicht sichtbaren Teilnehmer an dem Boxkampf weichen nun einem verborgenen Chor, der für eine religiöse Zeremonie singt. Der Ozean und das ozeanische Mit-erleben der Naturgewalt weicht der Abendszene in Venedig, es werden ebenfalls Lieder gesungen, doch hier ist es vor dem Hintergrund der kollektiven Zeremonie, einem Lied das für die Bewohner oder die Mitfahrer in dem Boot gesungen werden. Festlichkeit liegt in der Luft.

Beide Szenen sind von Menschen gemachte Momente, sie beinhalten Klang, in dem einen Falle einen Chor und eine kirchliche, religiöse Vorführung, in dem anderen Einzelne Sänger, im Gleichklang oder als Einzelserenaden eine kulturelle Darbietung gebend. Es wird gefeiert, gemeinsam.

Wenn man sich diese Energie ansieht, zeigt sich in 2001 die Kluft dessen, was sich auftat. Ein Attentat aus den Reihen eines Angehörigen des Islam wurde in der Weltöffentlichkeit als Angriff einer Religionsgemeinschaft auf eine andere wahrgenommen. Nicht nur kulturelle Werte, wie der Lebensstil im Westen, schienen aus islamischen Bereichen angegriffen zu werden, es schien auch wie der  Beginn eines Religionskrieges.

Infolgedessen gab es Kriegserklärungen an Nationen, deren Bevölkerung hauptsächlich aus der religiösen und kulturellen Mehrheit der Angreifer bestand.

Die Symbole sprechen von Festlichkeiten und  Feierlichkeiten, vom Miterleben der Gemeinschaft in kleinen und großen zeremoniellen, religiösen und kulturellen Handlungen – doch das Jahr 2001 zeigte das Gegenteil davon – die internationale Gemeinschaft wurde kulturell und religiös gespalten in Achsen des Bösen.

Die Obertöne der Lieder, die Klänge von Freude, verstummten in kollektiv gezeigter Aggressivität, Einzelakte gegen Städte und Staaten – Vergeltungskriege gegen „markierte“ Gegner und Länder, die nicht beteiligt waren.

Die Energie am 21. Januar nun hat folgende Betonung:

Mond:
Blood rushes to a man’s head as his vital energies are mobilized under the spur of ambition
An Eruption of bio-psychic energies into the ego-controlled field of consciousness.

Keyword: conflagration                                          

Sonne: Wassermann:

An old adobe mission in California.
The power inherent in all great human works to endure for beyond the workers’ life span.  
Keyword: the concretization of an ideal.

Der Mond steht nun also in der Energie eines Mannes, dessen Blut in den Kopf schießt, weil Ambitionen und Ego-Energien von ihm Besitz ergreifen, und seine Energien unkontrolliert in das Kollektiv eruptieren, während die Sonne auf dem Bild einer Szenerie liegt: Eine alte in Lehmbauweise errichtete Mission in Californien, und die Kraft, die in allen Arbeiten und Verrichtungen von Menschen liegt, die etwas errichten wollen, was über ihre eigene Lebensdauern hinausragt. Die Ideale wollen verwirklicht werden.

Nun muss man jedoch wissen, dass seit den 1930’er Jahren in Amerika sämtliche Präsidenten am 20. Januar in das Amt eingeschworen werden. Astrologisch ist dies, wenn die Sonne 1 Grad Wassermann erreicht hat.
Das Symbol, die Energie dieses 1. Grad Wassermann ist: An old adobe mission.
die Konkretisierung eines Ideales, das Werk, dass größer ist, als ein einziges Menschenleben, ist die Amerikanische Präsidentschaft und damit die Demokratie. Wird ein Präsident eingeschworen, wird er in dieser Energie eingeschworen.

Das Bild eines Mannes, dessen Energie ihm zu Kopf steigt, passt nun jedoch nur zu gut auf Trump, der bei öffentlichen Auftritten zu rotköpfigem Aussehen neigt. Die Beschreibung, ihm seien Ambitionen in den Kopf gestiegen, passt als bild nur zu gut. Und damit sind wir inmitten den eigenartigen Energien, die seit 2001 die amerikanische Energie einscheidend prägen, und deren Auswüchse durch Barack Obama so gemildert wurden.

So wie 2001 aus dem religiösen Chor ein Zerrbild im Krieg zwischen Religionen und Weltanschauungen wurde, so drängt sich mir mit dem Bild eines Mannes, dem das Blut in den Kopf schießt, weil er Ambitionen bekommt, Trump auf, der nach einer Mauer, einem Bau, das seine eigene Lebenszeit überdauern möge, schreit. Doch das, worum es geht, ist nicht das lehmgebaute Gebäude, sondern die Konkretisierung des Ideals einer Demokratie, einer Republik. Eines Zusammenlebens von Nationen und Menschen.

Das energetische Bild der Finsternis betont die überschießende Energie, die nicht beherrscht oder kontrolliert wird, während auf der anderen Seite alte Ideale existieren, fast ruhend zur Verfügung stehen. Die alte, in Lehmbauweise errichtete Mission,  zeigt ein Überdauern einer Tat, eines Hauses mit kollektiver Bedeutung, in der Zeit an. Es geht nicht um ein Wohnhaus, das die Zeit überdauerte, sondern eine Mission. Eine Mission diente einer Religion bei ihrer Verbreitung, mag diese Verbreitung nun friedlich oder gewalttätig gewesen sein. Wenn das Missionsgebäude überdauert, war sie erfolgreich.

Es treffen sich also Bilder von auswuchernder, unverantwortlich oder überschießend gebrauchender Energie in einem Kontext, mit Bildern von ruhender Kraft mexikanisch – südamerikanischer – amerikanischer Lebensweise, die sich gemischt, durchdrungen und überdauert hat.

Die Bilder der vorherigen Mondfinsternisse waren teils europäischer oder globaler Natur, Kirchen, Chöre können fast überall auf der Nordhalbkugel existieren, Ozeane und Strände gibt es überall, Gondoliere gibt es nur in Venedig, also in einem räumlich und kulturell abgegrenzte Bereich von Menschen, die sich mit dem nahen Ozean und einer überflutenden Stadt in Einklang gebracht haben. Die Überflutung mit Klängen durch den Chor erfolgt in einer Zeremonie, die Überflutung der Stadt durch den Ozean erfolgt langsam in Jahrhunderten, für die Bewohner adaptierbar.

Doch nun gibt es ein Symbol, das die Zurschaustellung von Aggressivität aufnimmt – der Boxer im Sparring, der trainiert, um in einem künstlichen  Kampf sich zur Schau zu stellen, und zur Entladung der Massenemotion zu dienen, wird durch einen einzelnen Menschen ersetzt, dem die ganze Situation und Energie zu Kopf steigt.

Die Bilder von Gemeinsamkeit, die kollektiven Energien des gemeinsamen Erlebens oder Feierns, dem Genießen der Natur, dem Einklang mit etwas größeren, sind in dieser Energie verschwunden.

Diese Sonnenfinsternis zeigt daher aus meiner Sicht ein ausuferndes Ego, das mit den hereinströmenden Energien nicht umgehen kann, jedoch nach ihnen schreit.

Aus dieser Sicht heraus sollte der einzelne sich vergegenwärtigen, welche Intention in einzelnen Handlungen liegt, und welche Energien man anfordert oder zur Schau stellt…
oder welche Energien sozial und gesellschaftlich zur Schau gestellt werden.

Alte ehrwürdige Traditionen und Gebäude sind ein Teil, oder das Ziel, dieses Energieausbruches, ruhige Energien die verlässlich als Angebot existierten, mögen nun durch Energieausbrüche ersetzt werden.

Ich möchte ausdrücklich hervorherben, dass amerikanische Präsidenten prinzipiell seit den 1930’er Jahren am 20 Januar eingeschworen werden, wenn die Sonne auf 1 Grad Wassermann steht. D.h. das Bild der in Lehmbauweise erbauten Mission ist das Bild der amerikanischen Präsidentschaft. Eclipsen haben immer eine Betonung auf Wechsel, und in der alten Deutungsweise sagte eine Sonnenfinsternis den Wechsel des Herrschers voraus. Da diese Finsternis so tief mit der amerikanischen Präsidentschaft verbunden ist, und die Finsternisserie mit 2001 eine starke Übertonung erfährt, wage ich die Vorhersage, dass Trump während den Sonnenfinsternissen im Sommer (Juli 2019) gestürzt / ausgewechselt wird, oder zurücktreten muss.
Wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, wird Trump als Person, der die Ambitionen zu Kopf schießen, die Präsidentschaft selber, und damit die Demokratie, stark verändern. Dies wird dann ebenfalls im Juli 2019 den Höhepunkt oder die Sichtbarkeit erreichen. Doch mehr dazu in anderen, späteren Artikeln über die kommenden Finsternisse.

Man wird sehen….

Mein Rat ist, selbstbewusst, selbstkritisch und achtsam sowohl mit den eigenen Energien als auch mit den kollektiven Themen umzugehen. Es ist aus meiner Sicht wichtig, sich der Risse in der Gesellschaft, die nach 9/11 entstanden sind in der Erklärung von Gegnern, und wie das Böse sich in der Welt zeigt, bewusst zu werden.

Die Saros-Serie hat als Ziel, die Gemeinsamkeit und das gemeinsame Erleben zu stärken. Damit wird alles sichtbar, was diesem im Weg steht.

Ich wünsche viel Freude beim Beobachten der Mondfinsternis
…mögen die Sterne Euch leuchten und euer eigener innerer Stern Euch den Weg weisen.

The full moon on 24th October takes place in an exact square to the nodes.

All issues and themes of this year’s eclipses are again activated, karmic, and with effect. The pressure of the insights will mount up to the understanding, that some actions have dire consequences. Yet the good in all of this: if there is so much pressure mounting, then the time for change and correction is here! Why else would the cosmos give so much energy to one place or issue alone, if it was about to be able to change it, now?

Adding to this mounting pressure of karmic insight is Uranus in Taurus at the point of the moon, and Venus in konj. to the Sun in Scorpio. Uranus with moon allows very deep emotional layers to be open and penetrated, releasing the pressure hidden in an explosive momentum, allowing insights into the deepest layers of suppressed issues. This happens  individually as well as collectively, yet it is also possible that Gaia, Earth herself, undergoes this pressure in sudden release of locations that are uncomfortable to her, may it be as sudden volcanic activity, may it be landslides and floods (scorpio) or moving soil  / liquefied Earth (Uranus moving earth /Taurus very fast), or other forms of sudden releases solidified energies e.g. earthquakes (Uranus in Earth sign).
On social or collective layers this energy could also contribute to sudden flash-mob outbreaks of suppressed or very dense / intense emotions, or it may spark very large public movements of revolutionary ideas, reforming stiffened structures in society.

As the nodes are in an exact square on Leo/Aquarius, the mounted frustration may also be in regard to the ideals of the 68‘ movement and the flower power generation. How much do these ideals collide with the mounting of the tightening neo-conservatism or authoritarian energy? The ideals of the age of Aquarius are tested whether they are seen, whether they can still be lived? A lot of the former fighters of the 68’s “make love not war” may be challenged under the current circumstances and may be frustrated in regard to their fight – and love – that seem to disappear from the collective.

Collectively, this is another cosmic alarm situation. It is about to penetrate and access the next layers of change, just the next layer of energy not addressed yet. the new layer shows mixed with a generation used to technology, networking, and so much in an every-day freedom energy that the ideal itself seems not accessible, and the ideal too normal. By the time of the 68’s mass happenings could take place in mostly unpolluted areas, no acid rain fell down from the sky. The real challenge was to crack the structures of war, imperialism and colonialism, dusting off the past, where ideals like some democracies have been installed, yet the way to think was not free, and international cooperation slowly started but also failed in the first attempt of the league of nations. The forests were healthy, the only issue was deforestation, therefore the protests started around the exploitation of natural resources, which lead to the green party movements all over the world. The Nazism energy needed to be cleansed out, that had rooted it poverty, devastation after war, and the imperialistic thoughts of superiority versus minority, which needed regular overturns in order to get the higher position. This stuff needed to be cleansed out, so fresh starts could be done.

Yet now, Nazism is back, on new levels, with seemingly similar arguments and rhetoric, yet with a different ground to sew and root in. Even though some speeches may be – or sound – the same, the people are not. the situation is not. it is not the world after the great depression, it is not the dust bowl famine in America, the stock market crash and inflation time, where money wasn’t worth a thing and nothing to buy was there. It is not the time, where repression had its toll, and structural changes needed to be done in order to get democratic structures also in administration.

the 68’s movement grounded ideals of freedom after colonialism and monarchical imperialism, followed by fascism. Together with workers fights of the 50’s 60’s era, they laid the foundation for the equality amongst people and nations, and they formed the communities where these ideals could be lived in society as a whole. Yet exactly these models are now in threat, therefore the questions of the times are:  what ideas succeeded, what form of communities remain, where does society now show a lack of support, a lack of ideas, where did structure crumble, and where did ideals show erosion? It is a new kind of pressure on the “Aquarian age” vision, a pressure that comes from the need of adaption to an other form of life, estranged of nature and fed by technology.

So for the Pluto in Leo generation it is not time to withdraw, as they are needed again – or – their time is now starting. Being the grandparents of the current generations it is their time to be the wise people of society, teaching the values of what was reached. it is also their time – again – to inspire and explain the values, yet in a different surrounding.

Both Mars and Lilith are in Aquarius, so they also talk about the ideals of the new male within this movement and the emancipatory energy of the new female energies in this form of living. As they are on the southern node, they both remind people about the active fought changes men and women went through to form new communities, and they remind the fighters of that time, too.

As for Europe, by the time of the full moon Pluto is at the MC. Together with Saturn in Capricorn the Lords of time, law, structure show their power. It is a time of “old men”  law and order,  of structural power, of power abuse visible now, of patriarchic structures  where certain kind of order did not ease life but was a form of power. There is a deepening in understanding of time and power, of order and structural density up to immobility. It is about the question, what structure is serving society, earth, people and life? what structure is just  deepening and tightening a grip on something or people.
All of this Is now clearly to be seen. The hidden structures that held power in place will now be revealed to the public eye.
Even though hidden by the light of the day (as the stars can not be seen during the daylight) daylight it is nevertheless the most visible place in the horoscope, and so the theme of visible-invisible – but now to be seen clearly, is playing around in hidden and in open.

it will be about real depth, and to look deep into the shadow, the own one, and the ones of society and the collective. There is no way to look in an other direction, as all forces will mount energy and tension so that the real decision is done. The forces do no longer hide, and therefore there a no longer excuses for non-action.

it will be a time of reflection, inner pressure, and outer outbursts during this full moon. Yet again – the energy and the pressure is there, as we need it in order to do the real changes.  the universe only offers the vast amount of energy as it is necessary to really change.

Additionally to the celestial sky the Dreamspell is about to close the current spin and start a new one, so it is adding and moving the energies in order to make the leap to a higher ground. The energies  around the full moon are exponentially rising in all beings and situations. The own soul is reaching out in a volume that may have shattering qualities, combined with cosmic forces and power, mixed with the vision of Gaia and the threats of a breaking down ecosystem. On the day of the full moon, in Dreamspell it is Kin 259, the blue crystal storm. The storm is about the power of transformation, while the crystal tone speaks about cooperation. So the day of the full moon the cosmos asks the whole of humanity and earth whether they are ready to do the transformational work that needs to be done. As for the 68’ generation, it is about: it was not only then and there, it is also now, why you are here…

If you look at the Sabian Symbols , you will find all the energies mentions also addressed – it is a time of synchronicity, where no one is able to look away, the suppressed will come to the surface, and the time of transformation has arrived.

the time is now!

May the stars shine brightly, and may your soul star guide your path!

blessings.

The Sabian Symbols for this full moon – completely in alignment with the energies also in symbolism:

PHASE 32 (TAURUS 2°):AN ELECTRICAL STORM.

KEYNOTE: The cosmic power able to transform all the implications of natural existence.

At this second stage of the five-fold sequence we see a picture which contrasts with the one for the first stage: thus, a celestial display of powe versus a clear, lovely-sounding little stream. Back of every natural self-expression stands the tremendous power of the „Soul-field,“ itself but one of the myriad aspects of the Creative Word that is the origin of this universe. At certain times, this power compels the natural earth-conditioned personality to accept, perhaps in awe, the spiritual potentialities of its „higher“ celestial destiny. This experience of power can both illumine and shatter. The next symbol reveals its positive possibilities.

This is a stage of existence in which „revelation“ is implied, at least as a potentiality. The consciousness may be deeply disturbed by THE VISITATION, but the substance of the individual being can be fecundated by the experience.

 

PHASE 212 (SCORPIO 2°): A DELICATE BOTTLE OF PERFUME LIES BROKEN, RELEASING ITS FRAGRANCE.

KEYNOTE: The accidental nature of opportunities that impel one to break away from a past, the remembrance of which is still poignant and cherished.

A new and greater realization usually demands the sacrifice of something which has brought loveliness and fragrance to a lesser form of living and feeling. Old feelings are poignantly remembered, even as one moves into a new and wider sphere of experience. Old relationships may be left behind, but the memory of their essential moments lingers on, perhaps strong and nostalgic.

This is the second stage of the forty-third sequence. It contrasts with the first in that it reveals the difficulty of dealing with the past as one enters into a new realm of feelings. To the excitement of novelty answers the memory of the graciousness of the past one has SURRENDERED.

As above, so below – right?

When starting to explore the spiritual realm, one quite often thinks Politics may not be spiritual. Sometimes, people even start to walk the spiritual path or look behind the veils as they are disillusioned by the every day life. Fake news, Fact checks, conspiracies and mob mentality and raids may rise in the upcoming election time in America, therefore flood the social media realm.
But what is politics. What is the root, the foundation of it?
During my study in political science I got aware how often what had inspired me on the spiritual realm was rooting in the ancient philosophies, thinkers that have expanded consciousness on earth throughout the ages. I found esoteric ideas and the pondering on what the soul means in their readings – and – interesting enough – they also wrote on politics.

The root of the word Politic is Polis – which meant the town or community one lives in. The people one lives together with.

In the spiritual world, people seek their soul family or soul tribe, a place where to live amongst others that feel the same, have the same view. In some traditions this is called an Ashram, other call it Sangha.

In “politics”, in the polis, in their town or community, the philosophers pondered on how to live together when there is a different view on life – or how to found a perfect community of people to live with. Weiterlesen →
