THE PENDULUM SWINGS
The earth upon her celestial spindle winds
Her ecstasy-producing danceS.--Kathleen Raine
The rhythm of our Earth dance is intimately connected to the waxing and
waning of the Moon, reflecting tides of Sunlight into our consciousness.
Threads of light and dark intertwine to weave the mundane, entirely cosmic,
fabric of our lives. In this world of duality and contrast, the cosmic
pendulum swings back and forth, timing the music of the dance. Swings and
see-saws. Scales of music, scales of balance: the month of Libra is in full
swing.
OCTOBER ECLIPSE SEASON
Eclipses come around seasonally, every six months, marked by the Moon¹s
nodes, where the paths of the Sun and Moon intersect. Also called the Dragon
Head and Tail to denote their power, these nodal positions circle backwards
through the zodiac in 18-19 years, with resounding gong-like reverberations
in the harmony of the spheres. The eclipses are now shifting from
Taurus/Scorpio into Aries/Libra. The eclipses this month, and in April
2005, fall in both polarities. There is a change of tone, of frequency.
NEW MOON OCTOBER 13-14
This partial solar eclipse is at 21 Libra, close to the heavenly blue star,
Spica. This special gifting star marks the grain which the great goddess
Virgo carries in her hand, the seed and fruit of Nature, sparked from the
cornucopia of creation.
During a New Moon, a new cosmic seed is planted. This one arises from the
Cauldron of Choice. Reach out and receive. New connections and liaisons come
through this New Moon, which features a party of planets in Libra: Sun,
Moon, Mercury, Mars and the big one, Jupiter.
JUPITER into LIBRA
Circling the Sun in 12 years, immense Jupiter turns on its axis every ten
hours, making two and half days in one of ours. Its middle bulges out like
that of Santa Claus and belly-laughing Buddhas. Whirling Jupiter speeds
through in a sign for one year. At the end of September, This planet of
expansion and growth opened the door of opportunity to reveal the Great
Goddess Ma¹at, holding the golden Scales.
Jupiter, the wisdom planet, teaches us to weigh our decisions using Ma¹at¹s
Feather of Truth. With the feather on one scale and our choices on the
other, Truth weighs in the Balance. For we are making Big Decisions. The
upcoming U.S. election is one of these, certainly, and we are all making
decisions in our lives, both this month and over the next year. Ma¹at offers
her sacred feather to remind us how to choose.
Libra is a social sign, sharing ideas and points of view, discussing and
arguing, mediating and negotiating, finding common ground or agreeing to
disagree. The Libra tendency for relating and harmonizing needs to be
balanced by the Aries fire of clarity and integrity. When you are clear in
thought, you can connect with others via heart sparkles ignited from your
core connection to universal impulse.
May we choose with Lightness of Heart to uphold Libran Justice and Divine
Order. We are being bombarded with light infusions in the form of increasing solar flares and winds that affect our weather,
terrestrial and psychic--and influx from the heart of our galaxy, most
recently detected in the form of a huge, unexplained gamma ray burst.
Gamma rays are the most powerfully energetic type of radiation that we can
perceive scientifically. The excited photons in gamma rays interact with
molecules in our atmosphere, producing a shower of electrons and positrons,
virtual matter and antimatter. Take your choice from virtual reality?
This gamma ray may be from a jet shooting out from the super-massive black
hole in the galactic center, or from a supernova explosion near the center,
or from mysterious dark matter interactions. In any case, subtle, new
information is entering our Earth plane. Scientists around the world are
intrigued and mystified. Current theories are at risk of change. "It becomes
a very delicate balancing act," remarked one theorist, sounding just like
Libra.
FULL MOON OCTOBER 27-28
The delicate balance tips by the TOTAL ECLIPSE in Taurus/Scorpio -- the last
total lunar eclipse of the especially intense series in these signs over the
last year and a half (May 2003 and 2004 and the special November 8 eclipse
with the celebrated Star of David, SIX-POINTED STAR pattern).
