The Lunar Planner

To view ourselves, and the events drawn, in this lunar cycle, compared to how we were, and the events drawn, last August-September, reveals the level of personal growth and change we have achieved during this period. This last several-month period was one demanding we let go of very deep-seated behavioral patterns and antiquated soul level karmic past patterns so that we could truly go forth into the fulfillment our souls have intended. The upheaval in our lives over this last several months was designed to bring to the surface that which we had to let die or put to death. The dramatics on the global scene, acted out by the terrorist community and the world powers, served as a mirror for us to see the antiquated destructive patterns embodied within ourselves and that had to change in each of us.

The planetary cycle occurring over the last several months was the half way transition point in the 37 year Saturn Pluto cycle that began in 1982. The turning in this cycle nesting within the Holy Cross portal makes this a unique occurrence never before experienced in ~25,000 years on Earth. This several month period makes possible the upheaval and release of patterns taken on by our souls over the last 12,000 years of darkness. This upheaval has been essential for us to move back into unified field awareness where the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine forces can truly begin to work in harmony within our lives as originally intended.

This New Moon location in the ecliptic marks the seventh division of the seven (heavens) sections in the northern dome of the celestial sphere (called the 7th cusp of the Heptanomis). This is the initiatory point for the highest possible level of spiritual transformation.

This part of the heavens lies under the auspice of Perseus, the twin flame of Andromeda (marked by the Open Star Cluster M34 of Perseus and the Double Star Cluster NGC869 / 884 of Perseus.) This area of the zodiak is where Perseus is immersed in an initiatory journey to step into his intended soul destiny. Perseus is in the process of slaying Medusa (claiming his self mastery) prior to his re-union with his beloved Andromeda so they could live their intended soul destiny on Earth.

Two stars upon the "River of Life" add to the lunar theme: Rana and Zaurak of Eridanus. These stars mark a point along the initiatory river of life where we must hold our own light, and have undaunted faith and trust in our souls’ truth and purpose because it is totally dark and the path we must walk now is entirely invisible. Perseus must take the action to slay Medusa (fear) without the ability to see, or he will turn to stone entrapped forever--conquered by fear--and his beloved will be forever devoured by the tormenting psychic forces of human life.

Several intensely potent planetary alignments activate this lunar cycle and the finale of our initiatory Saturn-Pluto / Holy Cross gate. Please see the Lunar Calendar PDF file for the dates of these events. The kick off occurs on the First Quarter Moon (with two simultaneous "T Squares," challenging us to act from our greater soul truth and power, The Saturn-Pluto finale of May 25, on the Full Moon, seals our fate based on the choices we make through this period. The Total Eclipse of June 10 will then wipe the slate of our past clean so we can go forth in a new octave of life experience:

The First Quarter Moon of May 19 (with Juno) sets up a T-square with Uranus (and Pallas). The stimulus to action in this cycle is radical, unexpected, and demands we no longer hide in the old and typical behavioral modality of spiteful withdrawal based upon judgments and side-taking--hiding in the who did who wrong song. Instead we must address our challenging experiences by taking mutual responsibility for their creation and co-participate in mutual respect and equality. It demands we find creative solution behind spiteful withdrawal, which supports us all to radically severe from the conformity of our antiquated ways.

This T-square significantly activates the Juno-Uranus opposition theme supporting significant change in how we interact in our relationships--those between individuals and those between countries.

Our Regulus First Quarter Moon asks us to sand vertically attuned, courageously taking responsibility for our life experience, rather than laying blame for our experience horizontally outside of self in a sympathetic resonance that perpetuates the illusion that we are all victims of each other.

On May 20, just after First Quarter Moon, the Moon creates a T-square with Saturn and Pluto, which are now days away from the long awaited final trigger in their opposition. The Moon (in later sidereal Leo) aligns with Mizar of Ursa Major and a potent seyfert galaxy of the Barking Dogs, setting off raw fiery energy that must express one way or another. Dramatics? This firery energy must have a creative outlet. Mizar brings attention to the use of creative energies, creative and destructive tendencies, and the fear to co-create lest it results in destruction. One of the old 7-rays of Ursa Major, here we learn the nature of such volatile forces. Mizar, with averted alignments, is also known for catastrophic fires or massacres. Mizar can however express quite artistically if not channeled in an eloquent way. Gunpowder can express as devastating explosions or as beautiful fireworks, but both are loud and explosive. Mizar expression is always noticed in a grand way.

On May 23, just after the Gibbous Moon, Venus and Vesta conjoin, asking us get clear in our Heart, and to commit to live from our Heart’s Truth.

The Saturn-Pluto Finale occurs on May 25 in the potent crescendo of the Full Moon eve. The Full Moon (approaching Pluto in sidereal Scorpio), lies under the foot of Ophiuchus and over the Head of the Scorpion. The theme of Ophiuchus, the thirteenth ecliptical constellation, and sidereal Scorpio, in general, is to learn of and master the powerful forces governing life and death.

The realization our Full Moon brings, as it lies upon the Head of the Scorpion, is about taking personal responsibility for creating the sting of our life experience, no matter what it is or has been, in order to step out of continual karmic re-incarnational entrapment. That is, to dissolve the antiquated mental-emotional patterns we hold in our cellular makeup that create the outmoded experiences in our lives.

Commentary on World Events: The Taliban is composed of a group of souls entrapped in a karmic time warp from medieval time who believe the sword must be used to force the entire world populous into their antiquated mental-emotional belief pattern or to eliminate those who do not comply. The destructive and feminine suppressive patterns this faction of the human race articulates had to surface over the previous months due to the Saturn-Pluto cycle. This reflects an old archaic pattern that we all carry in our human coding that we now have the opportunity to redefine.

The antiquated patterns in each of us that we hold from our soul past have been stirred up to the surface of consciousness so we can have the opportunity to clear them during this past few years and specifically during the crescendo of the past several months. We are now at the turning. This period demands that the antiquated karmic patterns that we all carry must be cleared for us to go onward into the next octave in the unfoldment of life’s grand symphony. The level of clearing we accomplish now, in the final throes of the period, determines whether we step into the fulfillment of our true soul heart’s desire or perpetuate another 1000 years of reincarnational war and conflict-- the choice is ours.

The Last Quarter Moon of June 2-3 creates an Inner Need to Initiate Change based upon that which we have experienced throughout the entire Saturn-Pluto period. On June 1, the Moon triggers Uranus and Pallas just as they conjoin in early sidereal Aquarius and just as Uranus begins its retrograde period.

This Last Quarter Moon alignment supports us to relinquish the less-evolved Pallas expression: spiteful withdrawal based upon judgements and side-taking. The change that this lunar cycle finalizes serves us to evolve radically new ways of interacting and participating heretofore unavailable for humanity--to participate from the creative intelligence only gained from having been on both sides of the fence at one time or another in our souls' history, and in the interest of all parties, rather than of just one side. We now begin a period of creating a radically new world.

Expanded Heart

The most beautiful alignment of the lunar cycle: Venus and Jupiter conjoin while helically setting on the last Quarter Moon--the two brightest planets seen just after sunset in the western sky--bringing joyous unbounded Love on the eve of June 2. This adds a significant facet to our "Inner Need to Initiate Change," and to the completion of the several month Saturn-Pluto opposition cycle. The Venus Jupiter conjunction expands our hearts and mobilizes Love.

Jupiter, in sidereal Gemini, in the sign of the Twins, aligned with Sirius, the Great World Teacher, back in Sept of 2001 while significantly aspecting Saturn and Pluto, The treesome was triggerd by Mercury on Sept 11. Jupiter-Sirius thus played a significant role in the Sept 11, 2001 Twin Towers event, and in the entire several month Saturn-Pluto Opposition. Jupiter is the god of Higher Law. To learn of Jupiter's message in this World Lesson see the snippet:

Once again, Jupiter aspects the finale of the Saturn-Pluto opposition, but this time a few degrees further along in the sign of the Twins, and now conjoining Venus--the ideal pair residing in Gemini, the sign of two--and now in 2002. The "Lovers Card" of the Tarot deck sums this placement up succinctly.

Venus and Jupiter conjoin the star Wasat of Gemini. Wasat is the middle, the link, liaison, or umbilical cord between the two. Wasat is of planning, coordination, the assemblage of diversity and complimentary parts into a workable and functional whole. Wasat is the bridge, the way in the mortal world to unite, to bring the pieces together. Venus and Jupiter access the higher quality of Gemini, the sign of brother-sisterhood, and make the statement:

Venus and Jupiter aspect Pluto in a way (210°) that brings a creative realization to the merciless dismantling that had occurred over the last several months. That realization? To mobilize Love. Jupiter will make its (30°) aspect with Saturn just as we begin the following Lunar Cycle--an aspect where we realize the opportunity for growth--need it be said again--the ultimate lesson learned from the potent clearing we have all gone through over this time. In this case, to formally concretize participating from expanded heart. That clearing was one involving deep-seated karmic and genetic patterns incurred over the last 12,000 years of darkness on Earth, a clearing that was essential for us to be able to co-particpate at a new level of Unconditional Love,
