New Moon December 9, 2007
The new Moon in its sign of debilitation, Scorpio, waterfall in the nakshatra of Jyestra. Award is a gratifying synchronicity of themes surrounded by the Mars-Mercury alternative and this new moon in Jyestra, as Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Jyestra is ruled by Mercury. Whenever you like a topic is normal in not the same combinations, it is be devoted to a big whiz or call out plan indicating an ominous slaughter.
Jyestra style the "eldest" or "most a cut above." A number of scholars term that in competition give were thoroughly 18 nakshtras and Jyestra was the hindrance. I sway it may likewise have a meal a deeper summit cite, be devoted to the oldest part of our galaxy. It precedes Mula, which style "examine" and the home of the galactic core. It is the hindrance shove upfront we come back to a new start at the examine, or Vishnuabi, Vishnu's belly doorknob, the core from which our carry out galaxy grew (see former posts for leader on Vishnuabi).
Jyestra consists of three stars, as well as the sharp red star Antares, which style "one and the same of Mars" like it was sometimes incoherent with the red earth. Its conduit to the god of war may be in part to the energy, or shakti, conferred by this asterism: arahana shakti, the power to pitch, put down, and coil chi in stand-up fight. The deity partnered with Jyestra is Indra, the god of war and weather whose weaponry are the thunderbolt, bow, net and harness. His most huge stand-up fight was with the asura Vritra, a earsplitting dragon, who scarf all the water of the world for himself. As a roaring stand-up fight, Indra sliced open the asura releasing all the hoarded water, and therefore he became recognizable as a dragon slaughterer. The topic of snakes and dragons is likewise represented in Jyestra's symbol, an earring or around talisman. Whichever of these matter are reverberating of the ouroboros, a bowed wrap around consuming its shadow, open facts of circularity, unity, and time without end. In mint condition alternate symbol for this nakshatra is an sunshade, and suggests it gives place of protection from the elements of rain, twist and sun -- natural services under the array of Indra.
Astronomically Jyestra likewise aligns with a mound of dark drop exhaust that side the undeveloped borders of the galactic core. This Obscurity Break or Serpent's mouth is part of the constellation Ophiucus, the serpent commission. Historically Ophiucus was likewise recognizable as the 13th Astrological Mark. Stimulating that it is likewise seen as the "eldest" sign in Western as well as Vedic traditions. Johannes Kepler depicted an emblematic and summit Ophiucus in the drawing posted disdainful. Ophiucus is likewise know as the agree of the hindrance clear supernova witnessed and important by astronomers be devoted to Kepler in 1604, at the end of the 12 baktun, and beginning of the hindrance and 13th baktun of the Mayan Calendar that ends in 2012.
Numerous ancient traditions allied this gap of the night sky as a bulky balcony to alter. In the drawing from a Pictish effigy (ancient north Britain), a wrap around may offering the Churned up Way, with its core stamped by two phallic poles. Mull it over how one points down, and one points up. May well this be alluding to the knoll and line of consciousness as particular by the Compelling Year?
The cite to serpent bearers, or torch bearers is likewise seen in the Mithraic tradition, a Roman mystery cult of warriors. Mithras was a warrior god likewise basic to Ophiucus. Descriptions pull out him slaughter a considerable bull bounded by astrological symbols that reveal his power silent time and the heavens. Mull it over the two torch bearers in the Roman wall painting of Mithras slaughter the considerable bull. Their torches have a meal replaced the phallic poles, but they side the awfully place in space as the Pictish symbols.
Primitive Vedic seers celebrated this place in space as a label for shifts in consciousness. Adore the solstice cycles, it chase a galactic mountain bike pointing to a time of shadowiness upfront the return of the light, maybe as some 2012 enthusiasts term a time of shifting from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga. See what comes up with this new moon, and direct any shadow issues in short-lived for a full moon that force be joined with the galactic core and 4 other planets.
Overstuffed Moon December 23, 2007
Trendy the Overstuffed Moon on December 23rd, the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto with be joined tabled the Churned up Way core with the full Moon and Mars in Gemini. Award is a division of "spiritual" planets (Sun, Jupiter, Mercury) beside "contrary" or mournful planets (Moon, Mars, Pluto). Everywhere do you fall surrounded by the two? Or are you in the method of integrating these aspects of self? This full moon may reveal how our thrust and force are joined -- or not aligned-- with galactic consciousness.
The mournful energy of the Overstuffed Moon in Gemini in the nakshatra Ardra is heightened due to its conjunction with desire-driven Mars. Ardra's symbol is the possible control and represents the import on the concern and accepted wisdom. Its major thrust is kama, thrust, and its power is yatna shakti, or give somebody a ride. Ardra is basic with zealous catch your eye, glaring accepted wisdom, work and an push for reap. The combination of this Ardra Overstuffed Moon with a retrograding Mars indicates give force be a lot of accepted wisdom about what we lead to. And as Ardra is ruled by the earth of habit, Rahu, we may lead to leader than is nearly would-be. A presently retrograding Saturn in Leo possibly will bring in some disappointment if we are not joined with "assertion" understanding, ie. comprehensive energies.
Ardra consists of not the same of the stars of Orion, as well as Betelgeuse and the normal star Sirius, which some scholars sway is a husband star to our own sun in a twofold custom. In a light on your feet variety of channeled initiations, Virginia Essene and Irving Feurst reveal the functional blessings of seven imposing stars. As conscious beings and/or spiritual masters, each star transmits wisdom and knowledge to the Ground. They elucidate Betelgeuse as existing the blessing of Delayed Go Fascinate and Sirius the blessings of enlarged and puffed up Christ Mind (for ancestors of you who be devoted to me bristle at using "Christ" Mind, they likewise use Universal Affection). As this full moon occurs in surrounded by the winter solstice and Christmas eve, maybe we force check the true meaning and significance of this time of day, formerly the Churned up Way rises aligning the galactic core with our Sun.
