A Synopsis of this month's Lunar Planner
This New Moon occurs on the cups of sidereal Scorpio, nesting within the clutches of the Scorpion and approaching the Scorpion's head. It conjoins several potent stars including Beta Centauri, and the Nuclear Galaxy AP Libra.
The theme in this few degree band of the zodiak is about doing what ever it takes in assertive physical action to claim our mastery over the powerful forces governing life and death; to ensure our evolutionary freedom from perpetual entrapment in these forces. It demands that we mature in consciousness and take responsibility for our lives and for any entrapments in which we may find ourselves.
This is an intense lunar cycle, one that kicks off a potent year ahead, yet it leads us eloquently through a positive transmutational process. In this lunar cycle, we enter the start of the Saturn-Pluto Square, which continues through August 21, 2010. The first trigger to this square began the day before this New Moon, on November 15, 2009. From this time through the second trigger of three, which occurs on January 31, 2009, Saturn and Pluto maintain a very tight orb, of about 1°. This creates a very potent and relentless aspect--one demanding profound "change" in the very structure of consciousness.
The Gibbous Moon, which starts the pollinating lunar phase, conjoins Eris, while at the same time Juno, the asteroid of relationships and relating, begins a new many-year (synodic) cycle with Eris. Eris, a newly discovered planet is the "great disruptor." Eris, larger than Pluto, was responsible for the entire reclassification of planets and the formation of the new Dwarf Planet category to which Pluto now belongs. Eris forced us to relinquish limiting construct about our reality and to embrace our rapidly expanding consciousness.
As the Sun moves through the Scorpion, and under the auspices of Ophiuchus throughout this lunar cycle, it will conjoin Pholus, Ixion and Quaoar, all of which reside in sidereal Scorpio. This will provide opportunity to learn more about the nature of these newly discovered forces in our lives; and gain more insight into issues surrounding use of power.
Uranus, currently in opposition to Saturn and Makemake, completes its retrograde in this lunar cycle just before the Full Moon. The Full Moon conjoins Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull, which marks the center of sidereal Taurus, and which reveals the purpose of this lunar cycle. Uranus' direct station marks the time for radical change to accelerate in our yearly cycle, a time to break away from the conforming bounds of that past; and it catalyzes another shift in our very dynamic few-year timeline.
Jupiter and Chiron conjoin later in the lunar cycle as Jupiter makes its way for its final conjunction with Neptune on the December solstice. The final conjunctions of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune fully engage a new visionary energetic that will aid us to cross what seems to be a vast abyss still ahead.
The entwining cycles of Uranus, Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter will continue to play a very significant role in the tremendous change occurring in our societal paradigm well into 2011. Uranus and Pluto will then take over for a lengthy square extending well into 2015.

Non-subscriber Lunar Planner issues and many other articles can be found in the Lunar Planner Archive. Lunar Planners older than six months are available to non-subscribers.
The Lunar Planner's Interactive Moon Calendar Sidereal Astrology Readings by Lyn DaleboutPlanetary cycles create the evolutionary currents of growth occurring within ourselves and our lives. To know what these cycles of life are asking of us is to consciously participate in life from a place of personal empowerment and inner peace. In this awareness and attunement, we can walk the path leading to our highest fulfillment-- physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The Lunar Planner is an experiential tool teaching how to live in attunement to the natural Lunar & Planetary Cycles--supplemented with astronomical star-level astrology and much more.
There are three parts to the Monthly Lunar Planner Publication:
• The Lunar Planner Introduction
• The Monthly Lunar Calendar
• The Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary
The Monthly "Lunar Calendar" and the "Lunar Planner Introduction" PDF downloads are FREE to all visitors to this web site. These two documents will teach you how to live in attunement to the Lunar Cycles. (Links to these files can be found below.) A new "Lunar Calendar" is made available just before each New Moon. If you use the Monthly Lunar Calendar like a daily journal while using the Lunar Planner Introduction as guide, you can quickly learn how to participate in harmony with the natural lunar spiral of growth and gain an entirely new understanding and perspective of your life experience.
The "Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary," also made available just before each New Moon, is available by subscription. This monthly publication articulates the opportunity for growth in consciousness each lunar month offers and how each month's lunar theme unfolds throughout the changing phases of the Lunar Calendar. I explore the theme of each lunar month and its unfoldment in our lives with "astronomical star-level astrology" which I have evolved over many years. This is not sign-based astrology (topical or sidereal), but is experientially-based astrology exploring alignments with individual stars and constellations much like one would naturally learn by living and sleeping under the starry heavens.
The rest of the Lunar Planner web site including the "Lunar Planner Forum," and many other educational resources are free and are available to everyone.
I also offer a few other publications available to purchase: Planetary Bio-harmonic Audio Meditations, Personalized Star Charts, and other educational material.
The Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary available on each New Moon (based in sidereal / star level astrology) is available for a small subscription fee--merely the price of one good Cappuccino per month.
I hope my existing visitors, as well as new visitors, find the subscription of value. After offering the monthly Lunar Planner Commentary for free for many years, I now ask for this small subscription fee to allow me the ability to continue to host and evolve what has become a rather voluminous web site.
The Lunar Planner Forum is an exciting addition to the Lunar Planner Web Site available to everyone--to subscribers and non-subscribers.
The Lunar Planner Forum is intended to be a fun and educational way for Lunar Planner visitors to learn from each other's experiences.
Discuss the Lunar Planner, Sidereal Astrology, Earth's Precessional Holy Cross, and all other Lunar Planner related topics--from bio-harmonics to the stars; private messaging for forum participants, and much more.
New subscribes have a seven-day trial period to explore the current Monthly Lunar Planner before committing to the 6-month subscription. You can also visit the Lunar Planner Archive to view previous issues of the Lunar Planner so you can get a feel for what the monthly Lunar Planners are all about--a continuing story-line revealing the monthly energetics creating our evolutionary spiral of growth, articulated through sidereal star-level astrology, synodic astrology, and astronomical mythology, the picture-language of the Greater Heavens. Lunar Planners older than 6 months are available to non-subscribers.
TESTIMONIAL
Hi Nick,
I wanted to write you a note and let you know that you are the first subscription that I have ever signed up for on the internet since I have been using it. I have been so used to everything being free for so long in the 'wild-west' days of the web that I didn't really find anything I thought was worth paying for...
Until you !
I have been wanting to write you / speak with you for a while anyway because the level of your understanding is so profound that I wanted to connect a little more on where it is coming from. I had been aware of your work through another galactic astrologer friend of mine Norma Tarango years ago. She was sending me some of your work...and since I have found it online and I print it out and read it faithfully every month...
So this is to tell you that I think subscribing to your work is well worth it. Your level of understanding and galactic connectivity is profound and it has opened much understanding for me...so thank you !
Thank you again for your work and all that you carry ~ Nickki Lee Hill

How to live in attunement to the Lunar Cycle and the eight Lunar Phases.
The Lunar Planner Introduction & the Monthly Lunar Calendar.
About Astronomical Astrology and the Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary.
Soul Infusion and DNA Illumination - getting grounded.
There are three parts to the Monthly Lunar Planner:
This printable document provides simple and empowering instructions on how to live in attunement to the natural lunar phases. Includes a detailed explanation of the characteristics of each lunar phase, how one lunar phase shifts to another, creating an experiential monthly rhythm of our personal growth.
The Lunar Planner Introduction is not something to just read, it is an experiential and participatory tool that can empower you to live in harmony and balance with your emotional and physical experience. To gain full benefit from the Lunar Planner, use it along with each month's lunar calendar on a daily basis: write down your experiences and feelings in each month's calendar, especially before and after each lunar phase shift. Noting and observing your experiences and feelings on a daily basis--in the context of the lunar phase characteristics as presented in this Introduction--is the key. Doing so quickly reveals how your life experience, inner feelings, and realizations already occur in tune with the lunar phases. As you observe the synchronicity between your life experience, inner feelings, and the changing lunar phases, you can then learn to consciously live attuned to the natural spiral of growth rather than just observe it, not only scheduling your activities within the lunar spiral of growth, but more importantly, embracing your life experience in its fullness, living in the present and thus gaining greater self-empowerment through the inner growth your life experience has to offer.
The Introduction is a 7 page PDF file available to view or download (~200 kb).
PDF (portable document format) files are a standard, cross-platform, easy to download, printable file format. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or greater (or an equivalent PDF reader like MAC's Preview) is required to view and print the Lunar Planner PDF files. Acrobat Reader is available to download FREE for any platform (MAC, Windows...) from Adobe Software.
The two page Lunar Calendar is posted just before each NEW MOON. The Lunar Calendar reveals the dates and times of each lunar phase shift and their changing characteristics. You can use the lunar calendar as a daily planner as well as a journal to record your experiences and feelings as the changing lunar phase occur.
Writing your experiences in the Lunar Calendar and correlating them with the changing lunar phases is the best way to learn how the lunar cycles and their changes phases work at an experiential level. Working with the Lunar Planner Introduction along with each month's lunar calendar can help you to become consciously aware of the lunar rhythm in your life and how to participate with it in empowerment. The Lunar Calendar goes hand-in-hand with the above Lunar Planner Introductory pdf file.
• An "Aspects Version" of the Lunar Calendar is still available to subscribers, It has the principal lunar aspects and other planetary cycles listed under each lunar phase, for those wishing to have this additional information.
• The "Journal Version" of the Lunar Calendar has all aspects removed, thus making room to use it as a journal. Writing your experiences in the Lunar Calendar and correlating them with the changing lunar phases is the best way to learn how the lunar cycle of growth works at an experiential level.
The Current Lunar Calendar
The monthly Lunar Planner is based in star level, Sidereal Astrology and Synodic Astrology with unique and original Galactic Star Lore--the mythology (picture language) of the Greater Heavens. Each New Moon Theme articulates the cycles of growth unfolding in our lives. The theme of each lunar month weaves a story line of our evolutionary unfoldment and spiritual awakening. Each New Moon theme is posted just before each New Moon, along with the new month's Lunar Calendar.
Looking at the astrology of individual stars rather than that of mere astrological signs (whether tropical or sidereal), is like adjusting an out of focus camera lens into crystal clarity.
Although each lunar month's astrological commentary reveals the dynamics of the unfolding lunar theme and provides an embracing context to our experience, it is adjunct material. It is not necessary to read the monthly astrology to learn to live in attunement to the lunar calendar as offered in the above free Lunar Planner Introduction and by using each month's free Lunar Calendar. The monthly lunar theme is also a wonderful educational tool for the sidereal astrologer wishing to learn more about astronomy, synodic cycles, the fixed stars and their influence in astrology.

Links to all articles about astrological and astronoimcal events.
All other educational material can be found here.
Learn about Earth's Precession; the relationship between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs; the astrological ages, the intercession of Earth's Precessional Holy Cross; measurement of the precessional rate, and introducing the Galactic Ayanamsa: Reckoning of the sidereal zodiak to the galactic axis of Earth's Precessional Holy Cross is based upon the spherical geometry created by Earth's precessional orientation in the solar system and our solar system's current location and orientation in the galaxy), rather than merely on star locations as seen from Earth.
A retrograde period of a planet marks the time when we disengage from a planet's previous synodic cycle and engage in its next one. Learn more about these underlying cycles of growth--the musical score creating the symphony upon which we evolve. In addition to an introduction to Synodic Cycles, there are links to several articles about specific synodic cycles with the main planets as well as with the newly discover dwarf planets: Eris, Quaoar, Ixion, Orcus, etc.
Getting to know the heavens: This is a sky map of the heavens that shows the stars, constellations, and the sidereal signs. Visually learn how the stars and constellations interrelate and blend to create each sidereal sign. This is a wonderful tool for the novice or seasoned sidereal astrologer, for the astronomer, for the casual sky watcher, or simply for those wishing to know more of the Greater Heavens under which we live. The Sky Chart is also a wonderful reference for the material presented in each month's Lunar Planner.
Learn about the four primary Asteroids - Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas; the Centaurs - Chiron, Phollus and Nessus; and the recently discovered "Dwarf Planets of the Kuiper Belt" - The Friends of Pluto: Quaoar, Ixion, Varuna, Orcus and Eris (which was discovered on January 5, 2005 and is larger than Pluto), Sedna, Haumea & Makemake
There are two Venus Transit occurring in this millennium, also called a Venus Passage. The Venus Transit presently upon us comes in a pair, with each transit in the pair spaced eight years apart. One transit occurs on June 8, 2004 and the other on June 6, 2012. This is a rare once in a life time event. The last Venus Transit (pair) occurred 129.5 years ago in 1874 and 1882. The next pair will occur 113.5 years from this one, in 2117 and 2125.
During a Venus Transit, Venus lies directly in front of the Sun and in line with Earth, at which time Venus acts like a gravitational lens focusing the sun's rays through Venus onto Earth. Thus, the Venus Transit creates a condition where the harmonizing and beneficent resonances of Venus are highly focused (emblazoned) upon the Earth--inspiring a new level of Venusian qualities to permeate Earth and spread throughout human consciousness. This specific transit pair (2004-2012), because it coincides with Earth's current Precessional Cross, strongly supports the reintegration and emergence of the Divine Feminine in our world--which desperately awaits the guidance and balance of the Goddess. In addition, the direct Sun-Earth-Venus alignemnet makes the new Earth-Venus 584-day synodic cycle of extra significance.
This article explores the eight-year pentagonal cycle of Venus; how the retrogrades of Venus are created; the 243-year Venus Passage cycle; why the transits in this cycle come in pairs for a while and why they then become singular; the drift of this cycle through the zodiak; the star alignments of the 2004/2012 transits in the sidereal zodiak; the psychophysiology (mental-emotional-physical facets) of Venus in our lives; and the astrophysical resonances of Venus in light (color), sound, and brain wave frequencies.
Learn about the Venus Elongations and their correspondences with the Crescent and Balsamic Moons.
The Astronomy and the Astrology: In August 2003, Mars was closer to Earth than it has ever been in about 73,000 years. It appeared more than six times larger than normal and 85 times brighter--brighter than Jupiter. Learn about the significance and astronomy of this event, and about the future cycles of Mars.
There is an email that seems to circulate about this 2003 event, erroneously claiming it is occurring each year the email circulates; as well as a statement that Mars will appear larger than the moon - pretty silly eh?. Learn the facts here.
A reference list of books on Star Names, Star Lore, Sidereal Astrology, and associated topics.
IntroducingGet Attuned: A planet does not merely resonate to one frequency, as is sometimes thought, it is a complex rotating dynamic system composed of many astrophysical parameters that together create a planet's unique "harmonic signature."
The entire composition created by all of the individual planetary harmonic signatures, as well as the cycles they create with each other, establishes the musical symphony of our solar system, the harmonic environment in which life on Earth evolves. Thus we are not separate from these harmonic resonances, our biological and neurological systems function in attunement to this astrophysical symphony. Each planetary harmonic signature thus resonates with its corresponding neurological aspect of our selves--our entire mental, emotional and physical composition--the science behind the astrology.
Each 15-minute audio meditation is meticulously designed to incorporate a planet's harmonic signature in a way that brings the listener through a profound inner journey. Get in touch with and resolve issues you may have surrounding a specific planetary quality, strength and harmonize that planetary quality within self and in your life.
The Star Catalog has 2 parts: It is a step-by-step instruction manual teaching how to create a Sidereal Astrology Chart, complete with fixed stars and deep-space objects.
The Star Catalog also lists the sidereal longitudes and latitudes of over 600 stars and deep-space objects in a unique format making it easy for the astrologer to add stars to any astrology chart .
Did you ever wonder where the planets and asteroids were in the heavens when you were born? This made to order chart of the sidereal heavens shows their actual location at the time of YOUR birth. Visually learn which stars conjoin your natal planets; and see where they reside in the constellations and sidereal signs. Learn about your Horizon Plane, Meridian, and Prime Vertical, how these great circles create your Personal (Natal Cross), and how it nests upon Earth's Precessional Holy Cross--all creating your personal sacred geometry. This is your personal astronomy from which an astrology chart is derived. These great circles create your Ascendant, Descendant, Mid-heaven, Anti-Mid-heaven, Zenith, Nadir, East Point, and Vertex. Your Personalized Star Chart reveals exactly where these great circles and points lie in the heavens, and which stars and constellations they align with. This chart will provide insight into your greater self for years to come--and it prints as a beautiful high-resolution poster. You can also learn about the Great Circles and Personal Points in the Star Chart via this link.
The cross in a circle, is not only a spiritual symbol, it is also the astronomical symbol for planet Earth. The cosmic significance of this symbol is that it marks the timing of a primary transition or turning in the natural evolutionary cycle of the Earth. hidden within this symbol is a map referring to a unique occurrence of a specific geometric relationship between Earth, the solar system, and our galaxy--an astrophysical event occurring NOW, within Earth's ~25,000 year, precessional cycle. The precessional movement of the Earth governs the evolutionary unfoldment of consciousness on Earth. This portal of evolutionary change, occurring now in Earth's Precessional Cycle of the Holy Cross, propels human consciousness into Galactic (Unified Field) Awareness.

NASA's Solar Cycle #24 Prediction UPDATE - Nov 2, 2009: "Solar Cycle 24 will peak in April or May 2013."
NASA's Solar Cycle #24 Prediction - June 2009: "If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. It is tempting to describe such a cycle as "weak" or "mild," but that could give the wrong impression. "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013." The 1859 storm--known as the "Carrington Event".... "if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure....". More on the Sun & Solar Cycle 24 Predictions
