Harvest Moon Ushers Cardinal Energies to Initiate Powerful Effects

An almost surreal giant orange orb commonly known as the Harvest Moon rose over the eastern horizon at dusk on September 26th - magnificent. I could feel down in my bones that incredible changes were coming swiftly. Those changes have not stopped yet..
Just a few hours after this Pioneering Aries Moon was full at 12:45 PM PDT or 3:45 PM EDT @ 3 Aries 20. with a seemingly innoccuos romantic sabian message: two lovers strolling through a secluded walk. Even the opposite luminary El Sol in Cardinal Libra was socially positive at 3 Libra 20 - telling of a group gathered around a campfire.
By the time this year (2007) is ending in December with Jupiter-Pluto together at the Galactic Center quite a few groups will be gathered around the ole campfire. (In November we will start Night Five of the Galactic Underworld per Mayan and Calleman teaching.) This will be a time of integrating all the current initaions of Day Five.
Wednesday's Harvest Moon was the Mayan Sign 2 Manik or Hand - Deer with the color Blue(Black)/ and direction West

Keywords to focus: Hand, Deer or More like a Stag!, Healing gateway, balance, the four directions

As astrologers we usually consider Full Moon's time of major energy release and culminations of prescient forces that have been building for the previous two weeks or longer. In the case of this last lunation, it was apparent that these forces would be initiated in "primal form" since Mars was about to change signs from more mutable and highly dualistic Gemini into Cardinal Cancer. The main characteristics of the Cardinals: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn include strong action and drive being that they represent the major angles of the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth houses. In January 2008, Pluto will end a 14 year period and we will see the most structural of all signs Capricorn take over. Just as religion has gone thru amazing transformation in Juanuary the initation of governments, corporations, buildings will undergo change. Just as Pluto-Sagittarius started off with the OK Boming in 1995 - expect earthquakes to usher in this Capricorn period.

Back to the 9-26-07 Aries Lunation: didn't have to wait too long for things to really explode, move and shake:
By Sept. 27th the protests in Myanmar-Burma led by religious Monks had turned violent (note that our harvest moon reflects the incredible Nodal Opposition from SAturn @ 3 Virgo to Pallas and N Node in Pisces (non-violent strategy meeds constriction and limitation) This mutable aspect is Quincunx the Full Mmon creating a dangerous adjustment.

Sept. 28th An extremely deep undersea quake (162.4 miles) hit with a Magnitude 7.4 in the MARIANA ISLANDS REGION
Actually things have not stopped shaking since Sept. 26 when a Magnitude 6.7 - hit NEW IRELAND REGION, PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Sept. 28th - Riots in Islamabad, Pakistan Over Musharraf Less than 24 hours after Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled in favor of President General Pervez Musharraf's eligibility to run for a second term.
With Mars now in watery, Cancer we even had a hurricane-Lorenzo causing major problems in Mexico...Hurricane Lorenzo's pounding rains caused mudslides and floods that killed at least five people, slashed roads and drove tens of thousands from their homes in eastern Mexico

Fall Equinox Brings Spiritual Renewal to House Divided

We probably all know that the autumnal equinox is when night and day are nearly of the same length and Sun crosses the celestial equator (i.e., declination 0) moving southward (in the northern hemisphere). This year the point of equinox beginning here on the West Coast is at 2:52 AM PDT and 5:52 AM EDT see chart above.
That chart set for DC has 16 Virgo rising with an telling sabian symbol :" A Volcano in a state of eruption! " Without doubt the Mars-Pluto opposition which is now separating has been pushing for an incredible transformation necessary to move our world forward. With mutable signs still strong (Virgo rising opposing Uranus-Pisces on the descandant) this sets up a time when balance, diplomacy and karma are so important. As Sun enters Libra and applying to sexitle with Jupiter-Sagittarius we are brining an atmosphere of generosity, increase in education and motive for changing laws.
Still without a doubt their is an undercurrent of dismay, divisiveness and destruction when we focus on the mutables yet momentous healing is occuring with Chiron (wounded healer) still in orb of a sextile to Jupiter in the Fifth House of children, risk taking and yes speculation. With the housing bubble finally bursting we can even hear a collective sigh of relief from those of us that are aware that houses aare not for speculation but for living in sustainable fashion.
Day Five of Galactic Underworld
Taking an immediate turn from tropical astrology we see that today - 9-23-07
is moving us toward the most potent of Day Five of the Mayan Galacitc Underworld finishing on Nov. 18th to make way for Night Five Nov. 19, 2007 to Nov. 12, 2008 when deep, deep integration is necessary.
Calleman's predictions and the Equinox
Per Carl Johan Calleman, Ph.D.

His Predictions: "the current cycle would be a dualist cycle generating conflicts between the East and the West. This is in contrast to in the period 1992-1999, which was by far the most peaceful in the history of mankind, when in fact there were no wars between different nations (only civil wars). The reason that this period was so relatively peaceful was that we had arrived at the seventh day of the Planetary Underworld in 1992 (which was a unitary Underworld), but the dualist Galactic Underworld, beginning in 1999, had not yet started. The prediction of increased conflicts between East and West after 1999 has manifested not only in the attack on the WTC by Islamic terrorists and the Western wars with Iraq and Afghanistan, but also in the NATO war with Yugoslavia. A further prediction of mine that has been verified is that these wars have manifested in the periods that are days. The reason is that, as we may understand from the Mayan Calendar, the days are the periods that are ruled by new Yin/Yang-polarities creating the potential for conflict."
My contention is that this Autumnal Eclipse with the Harvest Moon to follow on 9-26-07 @ 12:45 PM PDT or 3:45 PM EDT will bring not only a meeting of East-West
especially with Ahmadinejad visiting NYC and Columbia University on 9-24=07.
The students will have an opportunity to participate in a symbolic healing of the conflict...
Right and Left Brain coming together.
Let's look at another of Calleman's both hopeful and ominous predictions ultimately bringing us toward enlightenment and peace:
"the Western dominance of the world will come to an end as we progress through the Galactic Underworld. The divine plan will pulse by pulse favor the creation of a balance between East and West, which is finally to be attained in early 2011. At the time I formulated this prediction it seemed almost unthinkable, given the almost total dominance of the West - militarily, economically and in the media - in this world order. Yet, it was the only conclusion that I could draw from the Mayan calendar. Thus, the Galactic Underworld will step-by-step strengthen the Eastern Hemisphere and the right brain half in order to create "going-with-the-divine-flow-ism" ("divinely guided anarchy"), man's ability to transcend matter (living on light, spiritual healing and the like) and a balance between East and West. At the same time it will replace the old order of the Planetary Underworld: democracy, technology and the rule of the West. The problem is obviously that from the present situation it is hard to see how the end to the Western dominance of the world could come about smoothly, and so the path there may well see many tragic events."

A Week of Living Dangerously Sun TSQ Mars-Pluto 2007

CROSSING INTO THE DANGER ZONE... KRIKE

The warnings have been coming from many pundits, not just astrologers. With the world on the precipice of disaster, danger and economic fallout since the eclipse season began on August 28th. This week starting on September 17th conjures a Red Alert with potential calamities. What is going on? Surely aggressive Mars (Lord of
War) stepping directly in the path of Pluto Lord of the Underworld and Destruction now in the Galactic Center is creating such profuse anxiety?
The Chart above set for DC @ 11:33 AM has Angry Mars rising and waging a war of words in Gemini
applying to the Lord of the Underworld and keeper of secrets on the descendant or 7th House - related to overt aggression, foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes, business relationships - much of this aggression is generated from within the hallowed halls of Congress-Senate with Uranus stationing at MidHeaven ready to pull some surprises..Let's pray that Martial Law is not on the agenda!
More then likely with Mars building resentments and anger on the Ascendant we should consider 1st house concerns and the whole range: interior affairs, urban population issues, domestic affairs, general conditions, psychology of the masses and grassroots opinions. Without question the Elite Managers react to the energies stirred up by this weeks Blackwater ban in Iraq, the Taser incident at Univ. of FL. involving student: Andrew Meyer. or more misuse of government funds like: State Department inspector general target of congressional probe

(With Pluto again direct as of September 6th and back near the Galactic Center - the conciousness of humanity is sure to feel the effect of these transits )
Definitely those of us with Sun-Moon in later degrees (25 to 27*) of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces should stay out of any arguments or potential conflicts cause some people are going to be triggered by what may seem like an insignificant event and move from "0 to 100" high intensity degrees of anger-rage!
Real warnings from space have also been prevalent in the form of two fireballs: From Spaceweather.com
"After seeing the September 13th New Mexico fireball on spaceweather.com, I was surprised to catch a very bright fireball here in Texas just two nights later," reports Tom King who operates an all-night, all-sky camera near Watauga, Texas, not far from Dallas/Fort Worth. "In the video, you can see where the meteor is bright enough to illuminate a power pole and trees!"

Is all this a possibility because the Sun (Virgo) in mutable earth is one of the luminary triggers or does the moon entering fiery sagittarius on 9-17-07 @ 5:21 AM, push us over the edge?
Perhaps... No it must be the fact that Saturn recently arriving in Virgo moving the serious accountability into mutable (mercurial) earth from dramatic fixed fire of Leo. For sure the Mutable Cross is becoming more intense everyday as Uranus-Pisces is void of course eliciting the fact that those of the world management teams who have specific agendas, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. We are seeing ocial conditions as extremely volatile now. The bottom could fall out or worse!
Could it be that Venus now direct and also moving to an opposition to Neptune on September 21st. moving to translate that final pass of Saturn-Neptune opposition on June 25th of this year - the loss and reg especially with Neptune void of course Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder... plus Neptune-Venus tells of major resignations and defeats, over losses of life in Iraq and around the world.
From the standpoint of climate change and just plain Hot Weather (Mars-Pluto in Galactic Center )
The world's average temperature this year has been the hottest since reliable record-keeping began 127 years ago,
TSQ
Is the fiery crash of the jet in Thailand today (9-16) the precursor? The fact that The exact cause of the crash was unclear late Sunday sort of a Neptunian verification? as the plane slid off the runway on the resort island of Phuket on Sunday, killing at least 88 of the 130 passengers and crew on board.

Well folks we are still seeing aftershocks in Indonesia after the 8.4 Magnitude Monster quake hit Southern Sumatra
Conspiracy theorists and doomsday bloggers are sure that either the market will crash because of a False Flag attack!
Is the greatest series of natural disasters of the 21st century ready to begin in harmony with the great Arctic Ice Melt: Reuters - The Arctic's Northwest Passage has opened up fully because of melting sea ice, clearing a long-sought but historically impassable route between Europe and Asia, the European Space Agency said.
Two charts below speak of the potential gravity of this week.

Saturn Brings a Dangerous Harvest leading to a Solar Eclipse with the Virgo New Moon

The Second Eclipse of the Fall Season Occurs on September 11th, 2007 with Greatest eclipse takes place at 12:31:21 UT when the eclipse magnitude will reach 0.7505. The penumbral contact times with Earth are as follows:

Partial Eclipse Begins: 10:25:46 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 14:36:33 UT



- This Partial Solar Eclipse will be visible in the lower portion of South America an area where back on August 15th we had devastating series of quakes centered near the coast of Peru. Visibility of this Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Within six days of the Last Total Lunar Eclipse, the Lord of Karma rolled into Virgo on 9-2-07 @6:49 AM PDT - Yes the greater malefic, planet of hard lessons and necessary accountability shifted into the
the sign of the harvest associated with cleaning up, health, service and day to day routine - the workers of the world unite.

Mutable Earth Signals More Shifting Faults
Less then 24 hours before Saturn finally changed signs into much more analytical, practical and ready to serve Virgo a magnitude 6.3 Quake hit the La Paz area of Baja
California. This sharp temblor struck on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 01:14:22 PM and then the next day to toast to heavy Saturn's coming a series of quakes hit Santa Cruz Islands, Solomon Islands Area with the largest at 7.4 Magnitude setting off Tsunami Warnings. And the next day Sept. 3rd with one of the ominous accident prone aspects being MARS SQ URANUS (sudden events)exact on Sept. 3rd when a Magnitude 6.2 hit the KURIL ISLANDS north of Japan.



Mars now in Mercury ruled Gemini has dominated the weather for the last few weeks with Mercury as the trigger. Now on Sept. 11th the 6th Anniversary of WTC and the event which literally froze time for a species get ready for Mars in star aspect to Bellatrix. Bellatrix, aka eh "Female Warrior", the Amazon Star, is from the translation of its Arabic title, Al Najid, "the Conqueror".

The Arabians also call it Yad al-Jauza' (1), "Hand of Orion".

Al Murzim al Najid, "the Roaring Conqueror", or, the "Conquering Lion" (referring to an ancient Arabic configuration here) heralding his presence by his roar, as if this star were announcing the immediate rising of the still more brilliant Rigel, or of the whole constellation. Robson considered this star to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, and prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms.
Looking back on the Last Full Moon Eclipse @ 5 Pisces with lots of Neptunian themes from the Senator Craig SEX Scandal to lots of Drug references even new genetic discoveries...
we find the Ocean of Froth on the Sidney Coast

Saturn Brings a Harvest Twice Eclipsed by Virgo New Moon

We can feel the tension increase tonight with Moon ready to change sign into Cardinal Cancer and Mercury ruler of Sun-Saturna nd Mars to follow with ingress into Libra less then an hour later for a rapid SQ
Solar Eclipses usually incite action and the event on Sept. 11th 2007 will be a flash of sudden events as symbolized by Sun-Moon @ 18:24 Virgo TSQ Mars @ 21 Gemini and Uranus @ 16:38 Pisces with the expanded Fire of Jupiter @ 11:47 Sagittarius applying and building a 4th Mutable Arm on the cross.
The Second Eclipse of the Fall Season Occurs with Greatest eclipse takes place at 12:31:21 UT when the eclipse magnitude will reach 0.7505. I have set the chart above for the exact Lunation @ 5:44 AM PDT in LA. with all four points at critical angles.
