New Moon in Leo - 20 August 2009

This new Moon has so much going on around it - a Grand Cross and three Yods, nasty fixed stars. Just looking at the chart I get an uneasy feeling. The new Moon itself falls between two fixed stars. Alfard (08') is a poisonous star in the neck of the Water Snake assocciaited with hatred of women. The other star is Adhafera (09') in the Lions Mane, connected with liquid explosives and liquid fire.





The New Moon is the action point of a Yod configuration to the Uranus Lilith sextile. Lilith is on the mercenary star Terebellum. Terrorisim comes to mind with the nature of these fixed stars. Neptune opposing the New Moon at the reaction point adds spirituallity, Al-Qaeda and friends fits the bill. Uranus is explosive and rebellious and is opposing the Mercury Saturn conjunction. This is not a good day to have a Presidential Election in Afghanistan. Saturn in on the fixed star Denebola (05') "The 'Tail of the Lion' has a Uranian nature and it is supposed that, in mundane horoscopes, major catastrophes are triggered off by it."

New Moon in Leo

The next chart shows the transits for the New Moon to the Afghanistan chart.

Mercury opposite Moon (35') square Venus (39') - not good for the public and women.

Venus conjunct Fortunae (39') - sounds more promising...till we find the Afghanistan Fortunae in on Pollux (09'), the "Wicked Boy" of the Gemini Twins.

Transiting Mars conjunct North Node (39'), Jupiter conjunct Uranus (48'), Uranus conjunct Moon (38') and Pluto conjunct Sun (07'). This is all just too powerful and explosive. I can't imagine a new and fragile country coping too well with these transits. This is the center of global opium production and terrorism.

In this weeks Cosmic Clock blog, August 17 – 23, 2009 , Paul Reader says "This week the interaction between those in control, those who want control, and those who need and seek freedom from the control they find oppressive is pretty strong." Paul mentioned the revolution in Iran, and I think this also applies to Afghanistan. Paul also links the Saturn Uranus opposition to some dramatic weather events occuring at the moment and an increase in earthquake activity. I would agree we can expect more with Saturn on Denebola and the New Moon on those firery stars. Uranus is breaking up old Saturn structures. Saturn is crysalizing new Uranian ideas. Politics, economics, astrology.

Now for something slightly different. Black Moon Lilith is the action point of a Yod to the New Moon/Mars sextile. Womens issues are already highlighted by the New Moon being on Alfard. The astroid Astaea is conjunct Lilith, and Astarea was the goddess of justice. Lilith also trines Mercury, opposes Venus and sextiles Uranus. Wow this chart is complex, so much around the 25 degrees area. All I can imagine is that womens issues will be prominent for the next month.

The third Yod in this New Moon horoscope has the action point at the Jupiter Chiron Neptune conjunction. Spiritual growth on a global consciousness level, the swine Flu pandemic, Chirst consciousness. Asteroid Pandora is just what we need in the mix to offer up some gifts from her chest of goodies. The spiritual side of this configuration should be felt strongly by people who are tuned into what is happening at this level, though I doubt we will see anything in the news about it like we will with the negative mundane manifestations.

Understanding the astrological effects of the heavens on the spirituality of humanity is so very difficult. We can judge the effects on an individuals life, or of mundane events. Karmic, spiritual or esoteric astrologers have come in for some criticism from traditional schools of astrology, and i think it is because we cannot quantify the spiritual effects, like of these Jupiter/Neptune conjunctions. Many of us feel the effects, we can feel the momentum building of the changes occuring, this shift in consciousness that has been predicted by so many gifted people. We feel it personally and we get confirmation through talking amongst ourselves, but there is nothing recorded in the newspapers, no reports on CNN, and nothing makes it into the Cyber Akashic records - Wikipedia.

This New Moon is conjunct asteroid 507 Laodica, named after Laodice, a daughter of Priam the King of Troy. Troy was in modern day western Turkey. Another old place around that region was Laodicia. This place was associated with one of the very first Christian Churches and in mentioned in the Book of Revelations. The Laodicean Church seems to have been established at the end of Emperor Julians rule. The end of paganism in the Roman Empire. That last wiki link says "There was a Council in Laodicea, A.D. c.363-64, although the date is disputed."

Going back to a time when a major world religion gained it's real foothold in the scheme of things. The patriarchy got its way but now things are changing rapily. Jupiter and Neptune are with Chiron, and Astraea the goddess of justice is with Lilith.

The new Moon was 09' from the fixed star Adhafera in the Lions Mane. All the following quotes are from Fixed Star and Constellations in astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923].

"This star has been called Al Serpha, "the Funeral Pyre"."

"Adhafera is connected with suicide poison, corrosive acids, liquid explosives, liquid fire, lying, stealing and crime."

"Influences of the 8th Hindu Moon Mansion Magha: A severe asterism belonging to the Shudra caste (low caste Hindu) and favorable for acts of disgrace, destruction, deceit, imprisonment, beating, burning and poison when containing the Moon. "

Robson mentions suicide poison but in the events we are witnessing now it is suicide bombers with liquid explosives. The news report below shows three large water containers filled with liquid explosives for the attack in Baghdad.




Update - 28 August:

An update about the influence of the fixed star Alfard “Hatred of Women”. As pointed out by Lucy Looking Upward in her latest blog, “over the weekend, the New York Times Magazine put out an entire issue devoted to the brutalization and oppression of women worldwide.” I just had a flick through the online version and here are just some of the stories:

The Women’s Crusade
A New Gender Agenda
A Woman’s World
The Feminist Hawks
