Light on the Water
*Chart Full Moon 13th Nov: full-moon-in-taurus
The Emergence of new Life:
The egg has cracked, the new way of being emerges from the cocoon. Something has happened. The first alignment of Uranus in Pisces with Saturn in Virgo (4 more to come) has brought sudden and immense change. Light (Uranus) on the waters (Pisces): Let there be Light … and it shines upon the waters to bring forth new life… spirit in matter.
There are as many perspectives of these times as there are people noticing. Some of these I include here … it is up to you how you perceive and experience this seed moment.
Risa’s esoteric astrology site:
Four hours after the moon entered Aquarius, November 4th, 2008, at 11 pm east coast time, a most defining moment in our American history, Barack Obama, with his Ascendant and Jupiter in Aquarius, was elected president of the United States (which itself has Aquarius Moon).
Risa refers to the sprouting of the seeds sown at the last alignment of Saturn/Uranus in the mid 1960’s – the Age of Aquarius: (Hair musical).
People gathered in the streets in America singing ‘Give Peace a Chance’.
Our hearts and love of live is reactivating in a much wider consciousness pool now. Venus conjuncts the Galactic Core Monday 10th November from 1.30 pm – 2.30 pm. We know we are part of a Solar Village, a Galaxy and much more these days. We know we are a global community and family.
Philip, in his Galactic Times, writes:
Perhaps this is the point where the saying, “It is what it is,” yields to “It becomes what it must be.”
The Editorial in the NY Times on November 5th 2008:
THIS IS ONE of those moments in history when it is worth pausing to reflect on the basic facts:
An American with the name Barack Hussein Obama, the son of a white woman and a black man he barely knew, raised by his grandparents far outside the stream of American power and wealth, has been elected the 44th president of the United States.
Showing extraordinary focus and quiet certainty, Mr. Obama swept away one political presumption after another to defeat first Hillary Clinton, who wanted to be president so badly that she lost her bearings, and then John McCain, who forsook his principles for a campaign built on anger and fear.
His triumph was decisive and sweeping, because he saw what is wrong with this country: the utter failure of government to protect its citizens. He offered a government that does not try to solve every problem but will do those things beyond the power of individual citizens: to regulate the economy fairly, keep the air clean and the food safe, ensure that the sick have access to health care, and educate children to compete in a globalized world.
There’s President Elect Obama’s own Speech:
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
… This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: yes, we can.
It seems to me that Barack Obama is activating the Will aspect of the three keys: Light of Mind, Love in our hearts and the Will to act upon what is the Highest Good for all concerned.
On Tuesday 11th November we pause at 11 am to honour all those whose spirits have uplifted us and sustained our world. There have been many ‘casualties’ in a long battle and many who are not remembered nor recognised for their bravery and dedication to the evolution of our planet and its kingdoms. In stillness and silence, we can thank them. Jupiter in Capricorn encourages us to expand our consciousness to be more inclusive and embracing in our traditional ceremonies.
The Full Moon in Taurus is on Thursday 13th November at 5.16 pm AEDT. What happened at Wesak in May is mirrored.
On the East Coast Australia, the timing allows the zodiac to be in its traditional positions (Aries rising) and a Yod offers another opening to the Covenant (we all share the opening potential of an evolving world. ) The Yod links the Ascendant in Aries to Neptune in Aquarius and together they hold the tension to Saturn in Virgo. This time, we have yet another chance to get it right. Our spirit is seeded in matter.
A Grand trine in Earth signs links the Full Moon in Taurus, Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo and is wonderful for grounding the highly charged celestial energies. Think practical, pragmatic and realistic. Think how we can organise our worldliness to serve our species and the planet. The Grand trine in earth signs signals that it is now time to consider how we work the land:
Agricultural methods that are sustainable means letting go of the huge industry of mono-culture and seed manipulation. Farming our land here in Australia has destroyed many pristine environments. The farming methods brought here from other countries do not work here on this land. Farmers are devastated. Our land is devastated. We now need to think cellular – on many levels – and the intelligent application of biodiversity and permaculture methods. Localising food production is simple and sustainable. It will emerge out of necessity and creativity. That is natural.
An exact T-Square in Fixed signs links the Full Moon in Taurus, Neptune in Aquarius and the Sun in Scorpio. – all at 21 degrees. If you have any planets/angles at around 21 degrees, this will be a significant stellar energy impact. The other angle to complete the Grand Cross in fixed signs is Leo. The Baby Boomers (Pluto in Leo) will be affected strongly, especially those born around 1952/53. Many will be considering how they fit into this new scenario. Many will also be retrieving that creative and hopeful soul/spirit from way back in their younger years.
The challenge is assisted by the Saturn/Uranus opposition which peaked in the mid 60’s. Break out of that depressive rut. Think again. Open the heart. Engage the human spirit.
Venus has by then, reached 0 degrees of Capricorn heralding Pluto’s entry later in November. We have to love life to evolve.
There is a beautiful formation of a mystical rectangle opening to an envelope and including awakening energies of Uranus (Higher Mind) and Mercury (intellect). With the throat chakra opening through Taurus – we can sing/om/chant/ah whatever to open to the next level of insight for which we are prepared. Speak of truth.
This is the chance to heal – we have all been veterans of a long war between the old ways of thinking and the new consciousness emerging. As I watched Barack Obama’s acceptance speech, I let tears release the lump in my throat and gently soothe the pain in my heart that has been there for decades.
No matter how fixed the mindsets and paradigms, the social clichés and conceptual bubbles, the values and societal norms – change is the dynamic which ensures new life. Without it we stultify, we shrivel and we bury our spirits. Eventually, the spirit retrieves itself and the corporeal, the personality, the beliefs and conceptual bubbles, and yes, societal forms, dissolve.
Now, we are here, alive and conscious, experiencing the dawning of the New Aeon which will span over two thousand years of humanity growing, maturing and discovering so much more of its potential.
Begin the healing and the doing will happen naturally enough in time. We will need you and you will need us.
The Full Moon on Thursday 13th November offers a crucible for this Aquarian impulse to come together as one humanity. It is assisted by the Pisces/Virgo axis and Venus and Jupiter in Capricorn. Essentially: ‘we can do it, if we co-create intelligently and together’. The individual is never completely alone, we are mutually interdependent in teams, families, groups, communities, nations and on one small and beautiful planet. What we do, individually and collectively, has an effect.
This is reality. It is our destiny.
Thank you for the wild card America … and thank you for being here and ready, Barack Obama.
Blessings to our world in this wonderful Full Moon stellar event.
Let Light and Love and Power, restore the Plan on Earth.
Amen

*Update 12th November:
Jonathan Cainer referred to another timely part of the cosmic clock on his site yeaterday.
As the Moon grows Full, we’re nearing the end of the Fifth Night of the Mayan calendar. According to this Central American tradition, the Sixth Day will commence on Thursday and will bring a new era, during which people rapidly become more creative, individualistic and clear minded. If that sounds unlikely, given that we’re seemingly heading for recession, the Mayans have an explanation. The downturn was a side-effect of the Fifth Night which began in 2006. Some even predicted that it would cause a collapse of Western economic systems. By their reckoning, we’re over the worst of this.
Venus entering Capricorn is the trigger for the next cycle (Reformation) as the Mayan Calendar is based upon the movements and cycles of Venus.
