May 2, 2006 | World on the Edge of Time
DO YOU EVER just wish there was a big psychic umbrella you could get underneath and get some shelter from the intensity of the world? I sure do. As much as I enjoy and feel privileged to participate in the discussion, to be aware and alert and writing in this time of enormous change...to share ideas with so many people who want the best for the world...well...man, it's intense. And I've never felt the world in such a state as it's in now.
Maybe it's just the sweet little Moon-Mars conjunction that's brewing in Cancer (visible now, wherever you can see the Moon), exact early Tuesday in most time zones. That's an apt enough symbol of the emotionally edgy quality of existence, but not the only one. Protests have been erupting everywhere, including many pro-immigration demonstrations in the USA (and in regards to yesterday's edition by Paloma, I've just had a new report from Puerto Rico -- it's quite an astonishing scene there)...situations in many governments seeming incredibly and truly precarious, balanced on a knife edge...and the feeling that I'm hearing from many places that something, something big, is UP.
Yeah, something is definitely up. It's not quite Beltane now -- the Sun is not at the Taurus midpoint for a couple of more days, which will I think be telling and start to tip the balance of feelings and events in a more stable direction for a little while. However, I've just finished writing the Inner Space horoscope for June and had a long look at the summer solstice chart, on which I based the column. The solstice is connected with the 3/29 eclipse because both involve the change of seasons and 00 Aries being so electrified. In the solstice chart, this has the lunar nodes coming within a tiny fraction of a degree of the Aries Point exactly on the solstice, so the Sun squares the nodes to 1/15th of a degree as it changes signs. This sets off a whole sequence of extremely sensitive previous charts like a kind of domino effect.
And I don't mean just any charts. I mean charts from the summers of (pre 9/11) 2001 and (pre Katrina-Rita) 2005, as well as a very interesting (non eclipse) New Moon exactly on the Aries Point the first day of spring 2004. I have no doubt that there's something brewing in the ethers, and that it's going to affect a lot of people. If you read conspiracy-type websites (a satisfying project because it gives at least half a glimpse behind the veil of the mainstream media, if you don't mind the paranoia backlash) you'll see discussions of unreported troop movements and other events I am pretty sure have some basis in fact.
Personally, I am getting the feeling from the astrology and from the news that there's a flea wagging the dog episode in the works. But my intuition says this: there's no telling which way this cookie is going to crumble, or what the little fortune inside says. I don't care what's being proposed, planned, plotted or schemed right now. It's not quite what's going to happen.
Even the probability field of a worst-case scenario 'second 9/11' type event is skewed because too many people are expecting it, or feel it would be a logical diversion at this stage. Anyway, the other shoe has yet to fall regarding whoever was responsible for that day in Sept. 2001 and I for one have no doubt at all who it was.
Speaking from the best of my spiritual training that I can offer you, what's most likely to screw up any such plan is that there are too many light workers on the case. There are too many people with genuinely strong connections to Source who are tracking, in truth, stalking every move of the black T-shirts and I'm sure the boys feel about as safe as if they were wading across the Rio Grande with 25,000-watt halogen lamps blazing in their squinty eyes.
Meantime, we don't have to wait for the solstice to feel those points get hot, and the smaller transits sometimes offer clues as to the bigger ones that are coming. For one thing, right now the Moon is in early Cancer, just having squared its own nodes; it's about to square the 3/29 eclipse and then make a conjunction to Mars -- and today, on this very day, the People are vibrating out a message of peace and tolerance. For another, Venus is just in the last two degrees of Pisces, finishing her long trip around the zodiac and about to move into Aries and walk over the North Node, and we can study her Aries Point/node transit for clues.
Remember that the Aries Point exaggerates that sense of one's personal presence in the world. It amplifies the sense of the world's presence in one's inner life, and makes events seem so important. Everything feels so personal. Is it really? Is it a kind of grand illusion? Ah, are we really here, and where is here?
Mm, maybe here is the Hyperspeed Digital Sixties without the Beatles reminding us that love is all you need. Quick, somebody write a song.
