Journeys Through Nine Dimensions With Barbara Hand Clow & Gerry Clow   Journeys Through Nine Dimensions Books, Cd & Video AstroFlash! Workshop Schedule Transformative Healing Home AstroFlash! Humans and societies function within cycles that are mirrored in the sky by the locations of the planets and the Moon going around the Sun. Just as it is possible to consider the basic personalities of the people invited to a party and predict what kind of party might result, it is possible to use planetary analysis to anticipate the qualities of the human social field on Earth during a given period of time. Astrology can predict how individuals might be feeling, just by knowing the archetypal influence of each planet plus the Moon. Just like a wild rock-n-roll dance party is very different from a black-tie dinner party, life on Earth is very different during wartime than it is during peacetime. Astrology also states clearly when an influence begins and is finished; this makes it possible to look back or go forward in time to identify patterns. Meanwhile, the Elite (powers-that-be that control the world) debunk astrology while using it as a tool to predict human behavior to perpetrate their power games. This site observes how some global political powers use astrology to stay one step ahead of the people. Astrology is the highest art for analyzing human behavior, and smart people use it. AstroFlash! looks at how the Elite might be planning events for us during the end of the Mayan Calendar, and it offers tips on how to live better amidst such transformative times. Also, this astrological analysis includes the influences of the Days and Nights of the Galactic Underworld-1999-2011, based on Carl Johan Calleman's time acceleration hypothesis, which explores Nine Underworlds of evolution in the universe over 16.4 billion years. AstroFlash! explores how individuals can succeed and be free and happy during the remainder of the Mayan Calendar. How have we gotten to this critical juncture? Why are 1999 through 2011 so critical for the survival of our species? My recent book Catastrophobia (2001) theorizes that we are afflicted with a crippling, species-level, post-traumatic stress syndrome that I call "catastrophobia". This trauma complex developed 11,500 years ago as the result of a great cosmic catastrophe in our solar system. This malaise in the collective psyche of our species deepened during thousands of years after the 9500 BC cataclysm, when our ancestors endured starvation and horrific environmental stress. Before this time during the Regional Underworld-100,000 BC through AD 2011--Earth was the Garden of Eden; we experienced oneness with our planet. These events that separated us from nature are deeply buried in our minds. Just like adults who once endured early-childhood abuse that they've largely forgotten, we must heal ourselves by recovering these memories and understanding how they have changed us. Catastrophobia presents evidence that Earth's axis did not tilt very much before 9500 BC, when the cosmic disaster disarranged the whole solar system. Therefore, AstroFlash! is structured by seasonality--equinoxes and solstices-because once the axis tilted, early humans quickly learned how to maximize their potential by arranging their lives by the seasons. Seasonality is not taken into account much in modern times, but it actually has a huge influence on human consciousness. George W. Bush invaded Iraq exactly during the Spring Equinox of 2003 because the Elite knew this moment had formative potential. This was also Day Tree of the Galactic, so this invasion caused events that will influence the rest of the Galactic Underworld. Once Earth's axis tilted 11,500 years ago, the new seasons necessitated agriculture for human survival, and gradually hunter-gatherer cultures gave up their ways of life that were in harmony with nature. Focus on the seasons and lunar cyles goes way back to more than 10,000 years ago, which is why AstroFlash! examines them in detail. I've discovered ancient ways to balance our consciousness by showing how to use the potentiality of each season with intention. I believe that we must utilize the potential of this quarterly pattern to slowly integrate our neurological systems with the changes caused by the recently tilting axis. Like Humpty Dumpty falling off his wall, we can't put ourselves back together again. We can use the cycles of the Moon to master our emotions very effectively when the lunar analysis is understood in light of the four seasons. This technique really helps us handle time acceleration. The great cataclysm disarranged the solar system and greatly disturbed many planetary patterns. For example, Uranus tilts 90 degrees on its axis. Uranus rules cultural transformations, and by its foundation chart, the United States is very influenced by Uranus. Now that we are moving into the Age of Aquarius, which Uranus rules, the USA is poised to become the global empire. AstroFlash! incorporates the birth chart of the USA in 1776, which is in the Methodology which follows. The ancients discovered they could assess politics realm by examining the conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn every twenty years-the Trigons. The current Elite, the "Bushites", seized the agenda of the recent May 2000 Trigon. This has enabled them to run the show during the Galactic Underworld, so this site examines their obvious use of astrology. It offers advice on how individuals can get out of the way, as the so-called "leaders" create mass-trauma events, such a 9/11. These things are done because they stimulate catastrophobia and fear. AstroFlash! breaks the four seasons down into three lunar cycles within the context of major planetary transits. I offer some lunar and seasonal chart comparison with background charts (see Methodology) by means of combust (less than 1 degree by conjunction) aspects. We begin with how you can master seasonality. This is written for people north of the equator, yet if you live south of the equator, just reverse summer and winter. Seasonality The New Year is not January 1st! The new year-the Spring Equinox-occurs around March 21, when the Sun enters 0 degrees Aries by geocentric astrology. For Earth, this is when the Sun is directly over the equator. Then it tracks north until it reaches the Tropic of Cancer at 0 degrees Cancer during the Summer Solstice around June 21. Then it turns back and crosses over the equator at 0 degrees Libra during to the Fall Equinox around September 23. It moves south of the equator until it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn at 0 degrees Capricorn on the Winter Solstice around December 21. Then the Sun seems to move north again for its return to the equator for the next Spring Equinox. Of course, the Sun only seems to move in this pattern from Earth's view, since the phenomena is caused by the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun during a solar year. The modern calendar abuses our conciousness! The time to make plans for each year is during the Spring Equinox, not during the so-called "New Year". The most philosophical and spiritual time of the year is the Winter Solstice, which is reduced to addictions and consumerism by Christmas shopping, eating, and drinking. In fact, December 21st to March 21st, the last quarter of the year, is our yearly completion time. The special days and nights right before the Winter Solstice are the most mystical time of the year, and we should meditate for hours during this time. Then when the Sun is in Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces before the Spring Equinox, we should be deepening our understandings of all the things we have learned during the last nine months-the previous Spring Equinox to the Winter Solstice. The Spring Equinox is the time to identify the intentions we wish to fulfill during the four seasons. Ideas correctly seeded at the Spring Equinox manifest for a year, and I will offer instructions for correctly seeding ideas and manifesting them through the rest of the seasons. During the Summer Solstice, the time has arrived to birth these ideas into recognizable form, like a forming fetus. The Fall Equinox is the time to flesh out, balance, and assess these creations and to weed things out that just are not working. Then the Winter Solstice is the time to enter into deep contemplation to imagine how our personal creations assist others and the planet. The Winter Solstice is the time to be brutally honest and evaluate whether our ideas enhance others or whether they may actually be detrimental for evolution. A sweet elixir of knowing comes the day of the Winter Solstice when the light begins to return, and each one of us can put greater realities above our personal desires. It is no accident that in Western cultures commercial Christmas is inserted just when people are amazingly psychic and attuned! I suggest you cancel Santa Claus during the Winter Solstice and spend three months reflecting on what you've created during the year. 2008 Winter Solstice: December 21, 2008 / View Chart The Winter Solstice has arrived north of the Equator, the moment when the light begins to increase again and we seek spiritual inspiration. Hope springs eternal during this special time of the year, when we are drawn to reflect on what we have been creating since the Spring Equinox only nine months ago. During the precarious and creative balance of last spring's emergence, those utilizing Goddess Alchemy-an ancient Paleolithic way of life-carefully selected three things to manifest from spring '08 to spring '09. When the Summer Solstice came, we deepened these nascent creations and they blossomed during the summer. With the Fall Equinox, we balanced our new creations with all the other elements in our lives; and now it is time to assess the value of these works within the larger whole. Many of us have been quite amazed to see that our intentions actually did create new things and new adventures. What did you create this year? Was it difficult or easy? How has your life been changed, and how have your creations influenced things around yourself? I always check my little manifestation box during the Winter Solstice, and ask myself these questions. Wintertime is when I can finally see the wisdom of these creations to assess their impact on the greater whole. With this review, I always feel great trust in this ancient tradition. If you investigate your ancestors, the farther you go back, the more you find reverence for the Winter Solstice within the planetary megalithic system that was probably constructed after the cataclysm in 9500 BC. This year, two of my creations were growing throughout the year, while nothing much was going on with the third one. Then, magically, everything came together with my third desire just a few weeks toward the end of the fall season. So far, I have never failed to create the three things I've intended during the spring. Often these works were very demanding, and after more than twenty years of crafting my life in this way, I am still astonished at the power of this technique. Some of you who know me will laugh when I confess what was the most difficult manifestation this year-to become a decent cook. I thought I had failed until just recently! If you are a greenhorn reading this web site, please read the general description of the process-Goddess Alchemy-in the "Seasonality" section of AstroFlash! The winter part of the process is the very best, especially if you are philosophical, which is Capricorn's nature. Capricorn is the most philosophical sign, and this year we are getting a huge dose of Capricorn, since Pluto has just moved into Capricorn until 2024. As you can see in the Winter Solstice chart, as the Sun moves into Capricorn (the solstice) this year, the Sun conjuncts Pluto. Pluto's journey through Capricorn is going to orchestrate the early stages of the Big Ending-not the end of the world, not the end of time, merely the end of the Nine Underworlds of the Mayan Calendar. Our first really big energetic dose of the meaning and content of the Big Ending has been going on since the New Moon in Sagittarius, November 27, 2008. Since then, each one of us has a feeling for how much the world will change in just a few short years, which seems impossible and overwhelming. As some of you know from my work, during the Galactic Underworld (AD 1999 through 2011) we have been processing the themes and creations of the past, especially industrialization (AD 1755-2011), and authoritarian rule and hierarchical control (3115 BC-AD 2011). [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] Now that we have entered Day Six of the Galactic Underworld (Nov. 13, 2008-Nov. 7, 2009), the essence of what we are creating during the Galactic Underworld has become apparent; we can clearly see that we have been developing complex societies that seek comfort for 5,125 years and now we need to move to a new level. Although creating civilization was the direction of evolution during the last 5,000 years, this creation is now out of balance with nature as well as our own deeper sensibilities; we all sense that our culture must become less material. This was merely a stage we are going through, we don't really want these ways anymore, yet it is so difficult to imagine what is coming next. I will examine the Winter Solstice chart to see how each one of us can use its energy field to deepen and reflect on what we are creating. Your creations make the world what is it, which is why you must master co-creating. One thing about the future that I feel I know is true is that hierarchies are going away, which will mean each creation by each person will have equal value. This year during Day Six of the Galactic Underworld, we all need to deeply consider how what we are creating is part of the new path that is emerging, to see how what we have chosen is our personal ticket to freedom and blessedness. This is different for each person, and one choice is no better than another one. This is the new information that I am attempting to tease out of the systems that are crashing, the natural ending of the nine Underworlds. It is very difficult to see anything clearly right now, so I'd like you to consider something. Imagine that way back in the ancient days spirit said that you must build a wonderful boat. Back in those days, you always just followed the impulses of spirit, so you went to work on your boat. As things went along, lo and behold, your boat was chosen to be the Ark-the refuge for the species gathered two-by-two, not just a boat you would be using for fishing in the summer! Well, what you are creating these days is a little bit like that because the things you are creating will be the seeds for a world that has not yet been born. Things feel really unreal as the old world passes away, like the time when Atlantis disappeared beneath the sea. With this idea in mind, do you have hidden feelings that your creations will be destroyed? Or, do you feel that you are crafting devices that can weather the great storm-the rising waves of groaning, whiney, greedy people who clutch desperately for comfort. That is to say, focus on what you are creating and manifesting, not on what is passing away. If you do that, you will be bobbing on the waves in your wonderful boat, not being flushed down the Bailout toilet. The Winter Solstice chart is extremely subtle this year, which will enhance your ability to really take advantage of the new light. As always, I caution you to do everything you can to keep Christmas chaos (primary consumerism) out of your life; the Elite uses this season every year to keep the people from empowering themselves. The people are hypnotized by the fairy story of the sacrificial god hanging on the cross, which is a disgusting parody of the World Tree. The exquisite mystical grace of the indwelling Christ is lost in the dollar signs when your inner hunter-gatherer self is targeted with mind-control technology to get you to run around shopping centers where the shooters lurk. Just stop it! If you haven't garnered that special gift for the one who matters until the last moment, what are you doing? The solstice energy floods your world starting about three days before the Sun goes into Capricorn, exactly when the Sun transits the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. If you have kept yourself in a heightened, spiritual state of mind, you will feel extremely high frequencies from other dimensions and spirits. All the ancient ones revered this time of the year when Earth feels the sky. They built magnificent stone cairns to capture the first new light, such as New Grange in Ireland. This potent infusion of the subtle realms will build and build through the climax of the Sun going into Capricorn, and you can burn candles or place soft lights in special places to remind yourself of the light and to connect yourself with all the ancient power places. If you take advantage of this special time of the year, you will know your purpose, and you will find much greater meaning in everything during the winter. Because Pluto went into Capricorn a few hours before the Sagittarius New Moon, the whole period during early December has been soaked with great structural changes. There is so much significance in these times that you must take time to capture its essence; Pluto is in charge of the new order coming in now, so this Solstice period will telescope the coming changes. Aligning with the deep and knowing frequencies coming in during the solstice, and when the Sun exactly conjuncts Pluto the next day, offers all of you a jumpstart on change. Attune to it, discern it, feel it, know it, and you will easily become part of the Milky Way Galaxy's mind. Astrologically, two great manifestation forces are arranged in two groups, while all of the planets are on the left side of the Saturn opposite Uranus line. These two groups are set up to get things done. The first big force is Sun, Pluto, Mercury, and Jupiter in Capricorn, an earthy stellium that is bringing in the new formation and will activate on December 26, when Mars also moves into Capricorn. Of course, with this much Capricorn, a crisis over who is in charge may occur. The second big force is the North Node, Venus, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius-the essence of the creative potential in this chart. The Aquarian placements suggest new creation will be for the direction of a greater whole (North Node), from our inner feminine (Venus), healing (Chiron), and very spiritual (Neptune). These Aquarian elements will explode when Jupiter goes into Aquarius on January 5, 2009, a few days before Barack Obama takes the reins. Regarding the Capricorn formation, its identity (Sun) is to craft deep and transformative systems (Pluto), that will be thoroughly understood (Mercury), and these systems will be practical and expansive (Jupiter). Saturn in Virgo trines the Capricorn formation, thus an orderly and disciplined transition is possible. Yet, Saturn squares Mars in Sagittarius on the Galactic Center, which suggests that forces that oppose the new path will be active, creative, and aggressive. This strife will serve to vent pent-up frustrations and feelings in the populace, since the Moon in Libra sextiles Mars in Sagittarius. Saturn opposite Uranus, a battle between structure and transformation, is the key to this solstice chart because the grand square of Saturn opposite Uranus squaring the Full Moon on December 12 really exposed the beliefs and agendas of the people participating in the power struggles. On the day of this potent Full Moon, the Senate refused to bailout the auto industry, so whatever is going on with that issue during the Winter Solstice will be a central issue until the Spring Equinox. During the Winter Solstice, Neptune quincunxes Saturn, an aspect that continually pushes people to opt for spiritual goals and solutions, to not abandon their idealism; the people may push hard to keep their jobs and for a restructuring of the car industry. The Moon in Libra trines Neptune in Aquarius, so the people cry for balance, harmony, and decency. Wanting a spiritual instead of a materialistic perspective, they demand a vision of the future instead of the same old thing. With the great emotional tension of the Moon in Libra square practical Jupiter in Capricorn, there will be deep public frustration over financial matters all winter. But, since Jupiter still trines Saturn in Virgo, there is an underlying belief that things will work out in time. Feelings of trust are strong, since Mars sextiles the Moon as well as Neptune-which, of course, is trine the Moon in Libra. There will be a feeling of a world about to end when Mars goes into Capricorn on December 26 (Boxing Day), and then the new world coming in will burst through when Jupiter goes into Capricorn January 5. Even though spiritual direction is critical now, the emphasis will be on practicality. This winter season will be a time to face hard realities, to struggle for meaningful change, and to think more of our selves in terms of the whole. The final key into what the winter might bring is that Jupiter in 27 Capricorn is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn in the 1776 USA Foundation Chart. [See "Methodology" below.] The US will experience its Pluto Return when Pluto gets to 27 Capricorn in 2022, when it will go through a great purification and a new creation based on new systems of power. With Jupiter conjunct the USA 1776 Pluto during the Winter Solstice and Pluto entering into Capricorn during Day Six, Jupiter's aspect to the 1776 USA chart suggests the US will experience a great financial reckoning this winter as Jupiter moves into Aquarius from January 5, 2009, through January 2010. Remember, your essence is not contained in financial systems that express only a part of you. This will be the winter when everyone comes to a whole new relationship with money as energy-instead of being a people who are controlled and limited by it. I can't imagine how this scenario will work out, but Jupiter in Aquarius says: "We need to be freer now, so we will." Have a great meditation! New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius: January 25-26, 2009 View Chart It is the New Moon in Aquarius, the time of the year when we focus on personal and cultural ideals. We feel inspired and want to manifest the greatest potential for our lives, our community, and our planet; we want to stop being bound by our egos and feel free. We wonder, how can we help the poor, free people from war, and elevate the human spirit? This year's New Moon in Aquarius has four planets, Moon, and North Node of the Moon in Aquarius, which intensifies this desire for Aquarian high ideals. Deep inside we all know that a better world is coming, so we strive to discover our part in the great mystery play, here at the end of the Mayan Calendar. This lunar phase will be memorable and inspiring, which is very welcome after the dour and difficult Capricorn lunation we have just lived through. As I said on Heartlink Radio the other day, if you are still standing and have your sanity now, you are in for a treat during the Aquarius/Leo eclipses. Considering the previous Capricorn lunation, many of you have experienced a great shift in some fundamental area of your life. What changed in a big way? How are you going to change yourself now? This year's Aquarius New Moon occurs six days after the Inauguration of Barack Obama, the man who calmly and patiently focused on very high ideals throughout his whole campaign. Because of his reassuring peacefulness and strength, the whole world is hoping that Obama can cleanse the horrific, negative fields conjured up by the Bush/Cheney regime. I will examine this New Moon to see how its frequencies can be used as a potent tool to clear out American political toxicity. The whole world must get back on course; thus, each one of us needs to realize that we can move mountains this month by taking advantage of this great Aquarian power. I am opting for a political analysis because Saturn in Virgo is elevated and in significant aspect to most planets. This reading considers the January 20th Inauguration chart as well as major aspects to the 1776 USA Founding Chart. [See my Methodology for the 1776 chart, and note that the Inauguration chart is cast for 12:30 PM, January 20, 2009, Washington, DC.] The Inauguration was supposed to occur at 12 noon, when the Moon was void-of-course in 29 Scorpio. But, first the swearing on Lincoln's Bible was delayed until 12:07 by a magnificent string quartet, the perfect reflection of Obama's lack of fear about the exact power transfer. Secondly, Obama brought the real power into himself right at 12:27 PM when he finished his speech-exactly when the Moon went into Sagittarius and Jupiter in 3 Aquarius was exact on the MC. And thirdly, my interpretation of the transition is supported by the flap over the Supreme Court chief justice, John Roberts, muddling Obama's oath of office, that resulted in him redoing the swearing-in ceremony the next day. The facts are: Obama took his power by his brilliant speech, not from the Supreme Court, the entity that played the role of Judas to the American people by allowing Bush to win Florida, and the election, in November 2000. Other astrologers may disagree with my interpretation of the timing, but it was Bush who was void-of-course in Scorpio, and the string quartet at 12 noon transmuted this atavistic force. Then, during his speech, Obama flushed the Bush/Cheney cabal right down the Potomac and out to sea. Note that I am reading house positions in the chart cast for Washington, DC, as posted here. I usually skip house analysis in order to avoid over-emphasizing America, but this New Moon is Obama's first significant catalyst. During the New Moon in Washington, DC, six days after this extraordinary president takes over, the potential for a virtual rewiring of political systems in the US is a distinct possibility. I really have never seen astrology flow so consistently with the times, which makes visible the direct flow of divine consciousness into Earth. We begin with the New Moon in Aquarius, which is located in the third house of communications and connecting with others, along with Jupiter, North Node, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius. Jupiter was conjunct the Sun on January 23, just a few days after the Inauguration, which inspired great hope for material improvements, a change of ideals, and clear communications from Washington. Obama's natal Jupiter is 1 Aquarius, and he just had his Jupiter Return on January 9, showing that he easily encourages the public to hope for the return of peace and plenty [Barack Obama: 7:24 PM, AHST, August 4, 1961, Honolulu, Hawaii]. Hope, clarity, and the desire to be connected have returned, and were cemented right into the Washington, DC, sacred site matrix during the Inauguration; and now the New Moon releases these desires in the people's hearts. Strikingly, the New Moon in 6 Aquarius is combust the South Node of the 1776 Chart. This means that this New Moon resonates with the intentions of the original founders. Confused politicians may remember why they have the job once the original laws are honored again. Chiron/Neptune quincunx Saturn circulate mystical beliefs that we can heal our hearts by creating new structures that express the pure potential of Virgo elevated to oneness. Chiron conjunct Neptune in Aquarius opens the people to the healing powers of spiritual inspiration that flow through Obama. Neptune has been in Aquarius since 1998 and will remain until 2012; and Neptune is the defining planet of the Galactic Underworld (1999-2011). As soon as the Galactic Underworld opened in early 1999, our minds, hearts, and cells began being stretched and warped by galactic energy waves from the center of our Milky Way Galaxy-and these high-energy waves were modulated by Neptune in Aquarius. Now I can see that these waves are opening our minds so that we can re-enter "Universe Society," as described by Alfred Lambrement Webre in his book Exopolitics, which studies Earth's political relationship with the whole universe. [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] Webre posits, as have I as well, that our species has been quarantined from the rest of the cosmos because we've become a violent and warlike species. We will never be invited back into our greater cosmic family until we stop killing each other. Neptune in Aquarius has been gradually wearing down egoic resistance to the greater wisdom of our cosmic ancestors, and the Chiron/Neptune conjunctions in Aquarius during 2008 and 2009 have been healing our separation pain. During 2009, Jupiter conjuncts both Chiron and Neptune three times in Aquarius, which will expand our ability to move beyond being an isolated and wounded species. Cast for Washington, DC, the second house in Sagittarius is extremely fascinating with Pluto, Mars, and Mercury retrograde intercepted in Capricorn. These three goats-Pluto ruling the Underworld, Mars ruling the world of power, and Mercury ruling our mental acuity-are stuck in this intransigent, out-of-time interception, which perfectly expresses the extreme level of resistance to releasing power and control gripping many politicians. Of course, this is always a big problem when power is transferred, so Obama's scathing and brilliant verbal dismissal of Bush (sitting right behind him), set the tone for the game. Luckily, astrology sheds light on these control processes that must be quickly transformed before gridlock and static take over. Speaking of the really big issues that emerged during the Capricorn lunation, Israel invaded Gaza with the total support of the US and many Western allies during the December 27th Capricorn New Moon, and then Mars conjuncted Pluto the next day. The bloodshed and suffering in Gaza has created great anger that has damaged the hopes for peace in the Middle East. Yet, this may be the darkest day before the dawn, since Mercury retrogrades over Mars soon after the Aquarian New Moon; this signals the possibility of radical new insights. I ask each one of you to go deeply into your hearts and ask whether it is worth destroying the whole planet for a National Underworld religious belief? Mars goes into Aquarius February 5 during the second Saturn/Uranus opposition, which favors the return of idealism and hope for all humanity. A new time lens is intersecting our dimension that is designed to create great disgust for the lowest expression of Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn: genocide. The highest expression of Mars conjunct Pluto is compassion arising from negotiation and mediation, and the respect for law. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has stated repeatedly that his country's problems with Israel are mostly caused by America's unquestioning financial and political support for everything the Israelis do, which destabilizes the whole Middle East. Ahmadinejd cannot be ignored any more now that we are living out Day Six of the Galactic Underworld. Looking back to Day Six of the National Underworld (AD 829-1223), note that the Muslim Islamic culture inspired Europe to come out of the Dark Ages at that time. The light of Western culture had nearly gone out, just like American culture had darkened under Bush/Cheney. This interception of the "three goats" means we must consider deep lessons from the past available in the previous Day Sixes of the first seven Underworlds. Capricorn rules resources, particularly oil, and the planetary use of resources will be totally transformed while Pluto is in Capricorn to AD 2024. A new direction in America's relationship with Israel must be sought in light of soon-to-come problems with oil supplies. The financial collapse will constrain America's economic and political influence in the greater world, so hard choices have to be made now. Whatever happens, the second house in the chart cast for Washington is a bit like a big stink bomb that could draw the new US administration away from its most pressing problem-the monumental financial meltdown. Mars and Mercury in Capricorn trine Saturn, so at least power will be used with insight as the stink bomb vents. Moving to the fourth house cast for Washington, DC, Uranus conjuncts Venus in Pisces opposing Saturn in Virgo. Venus was exactly conjunct Uranus on January 22, just shortly after the January 20 Inauguration, which signaled a major heart opening-and that is what actually happened during the Inauguration itself. Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003, which has inspired humanity to discover the kind of deep compassion that blasts our hearts open, and Uranus will remain in Pisces until March 2011. Now Uranus is joined by Venus in Pisces-her most exalted position-and women now lead, either on the stage or behind the scenes. Venus/Uranus in the fourth house says that compassion is flooding each home and lighting each hearth-the ideal way to transform the world. Isn't it fascinating that Hillary Clinton, who has always been a major supporter of Israel, could be the one to help negotiate a peace? To imagine how these changes could possibly happen, it is time to examine Saturn, which looms over all the planets grouped into planetary pairs in the second, third, and fourth houses. Saturn sits in his ultimate power position, the tenth house. Obama embodies Saturn now, since his natal Saturn in 25 Capricorn conjuncts Mars/Mercury, which are all right on Pluto in Capricorn in the 1776 USA Founding Chart. Saturn retrograde in Virgo and elevated in the tenth house trines Mars/Mercury in Capricorn, quincunxes Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius, and opposes Uranus/Venus in Pisces. Saturn rules order, control, and structures, and when Saturn is in Virgo every 29 years, cultures always develop new systems while old ones drop away. Saturn went into Virgo in September 2007, just when the financial cracks became visible. Now, Saturn in Virgo opposed by Uranus in Pisces is toppling many systems-such as wasteful consumerism and destructive manufacturing. Saturn opposes Uranus about every 42 years, and this is when we experience the greatest levels of change and transformation, such as during the previous oppositions in1965-66. This combination of Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces is the bowling ball that is knocking down the pins of the 5,125-year long National Underworld. So, who is throwing the ball, and what is being knocked over? Saturn retrograde in 21 Virgo sits right on Neptune in the 1776 USA chart where Neptune in Virgo exactly squares Mars in Gemini. This Neptune/Mars square causes the USA to be fantasy ridden about ruling the whole world by getting stuck in foreign wars that it can't win. We're always right, so listen to us or else! There were major aspects to the 1776 Neptune square by Saturn in Gemini during the War in Vietnam that included Saturn/Uranus oppositions, just like our current time. Eventually the US will learn its lesson, or it will just go out of existence during its Pluto Return in 28 Capricorn in 2022. The Pluto Return of the US has just begun with the ingress of Pluto into Capricorn in November 2008 just after the first Saturn/Uranus opposition, exactly when Obama won the presidency. And, Obama is the man of the hour because his natal Mars in 23 Virgo is right on the 1776 USA Neptune. Since Saturn is in 21 Virgo, Obama is having a Saturn transit on his Mars conjunct the 1776 USA Neptune. Thus, Obama has no illusions about America's foreign wars, and his only problem is negotiating through the deeply entrenched fantasies. His Mars in Virgo trines his natal Saturn in Capricorn, which means he will not quit until he lances this suicidal fantasy with peace in the Middle East as the lynch pin. So, how are we going to cause and/or handle the great changes that are called for by this remarkable astrology and the cycles of the Mayan Calendar? After all, this is a very close solar eclipse that even pulls in Jupiter. During a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun's light: Archetypal realms flood our consciousness, making possible rapid and permanent changes in our brains. Jupiter is the home of the mastery schools, the great wisdom keepers who guide us during difficult times. The only other insights I can offer come out of my own experiences. In this lifetime, I have been gifted with the opportunity to chronicle my path and to observe whether what I have seen is accurate, meaningful, or even valuable to other people. During the Capricorn lunation, I was gifted with an astonishing confirmation of the value of Carl Johan Calleman's discovery and my own exposition of it in The Mayan Code, that I would like to share. Back in 2006 when I was finishing The Mayan Code, I stretched myself as far as possible to imagine what would be going on in 2009-2011. Since then I've been watching to see if some or more of what I said was correct in some way. The main subject discussed about Day Six was Exopolitics (see pages 180-185), and I suggested that we would really see the quarantine from Universe Society start to break down this year. So, I was very intrigued when Alfred Webre asked me to go on his radio show (www.exopoliticsradio.com). Before the show, Webre sent me files on the discovery of human and animal forms on Mars in a November 2007 NASA photo. NASA has been trying to cover up this find, while science in general focuses on Martian methane plumes. Meanwhile, the founder of the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS), Andrew Basiago, is challenging NASA by publicizing his discoveries of humanoid beings, animals, carved statues, built structures, and a huge human skull in the 2007 NASA photo! You will have to search this out yourselves on exopolitics.com, where you will see that the photos are quite amazing. As for my own research, I have been totally frustrated by NASA's cover-up of the Face on Mars and the nearby geometrical structures. More recently, I think the information in Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA (2007) by Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara ought to have been on the front pages of newspapers and on the evening news. The authors have thoroughly exposed NASA as a cabal of Masons who blow taxpayer dollars while keeping the public in the dark. They present strong evidence for an advanced civilization on the Moon that NASA has been exploring! Well, if there is any proof of civilization on the other planets or in other solar systems, Exopolitics takes over! Once Exopolitics becomes our largest political envelope, then war, genocide, and planetary destruction end, and cooperation with all life begins. Concurrent with the Mars discovery, right when we went into Day Six, Science published evidence for a great extraterrestrial impact around 12,000 years ago (ie, the Great Extinctions) that is written by a group of geologists led by James Kennett who exposed a layer of nanodiamonds they call "Diamond Rain." This is, of course, more proof for my claims in Catastrophobia, my 2001 book, that explored a great cataclysm 11,500 years ago that caused our species to become a mass-traumatized and violent species. In other words, the cause of our quarantine and the evidence for intelligent life in the rest of the universe are coming forth during Day Six, exactly as predicted in The Mayan Code. I have described these discoveries because I think we cannot change unless we see what we are missing. If Earth's people knew that a civilization was destroyed on Mars and the Moon, they would realize our civilization could also cease to exist. We must now open our minds to these suppressed truths that the powers-that-be twist into lies that they use to keep us in fear; a recent example is Mel Gibson's "Signs," his film about crop circles and little green men. Obama is signaling that the "War on Terror" is over, a term that was used to avoid focusing on immediate problems and as a cover for the real terrorist-Dick Cheney. The astrology for the Aquarius solar eclipse indicates we will be able to open ourselves to welcoming and accepting the whole Universe in order to move beyond this limited Earthly perspective. The Leo Full Moon on February 9 is also an eclipse, but this time, the light of the Moon is obscured, offering us greater access to our left-brain powers of identification. During the Full Moon, Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius are exactly conjunct the Sun, which means we will be healed by great spiritual insights during this second eclipse, so receive it. It is easier to accept the truth than to keep on defending the lies, which would be a great epithet for George W. Bush's presidential tombstone. Methodology The key background charts and planetary cycles that I consult for AstroFlash! The European Imperialism Trigon-Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn in early Aries, May 21, 1702, 2:20 PM, EST, Washington, DC View Chart The American Imperialism Trigon-Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn in early Virgo, July 17, 1802, 3:37 PM, EST, Washington, DC View Chart The Bushite Trigon-Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn in 22 degrees Taurus, May 28, 2000, 8:10 AM, EST, Washington, DC View Chart The USA Founding Chart, July 4, 1776, 5:10 PM, EST, Philadelphia, PA View Chart The Millennial Chart-Chiron-conjunct-Pluto, December 30, 1999, 1:20 AM, EST, Washington, DC View Chart The World Trade Center (WTC) Bombing Chart--September 11, 2001, 8:46 AM, EDT, NY View Chart All background, equinox, lunar, and solstice charts are cast for Washington, DC using the Koch house system. These charts are the foundation for my political analysis of the lunar cycles and seasons through 2012, but I do not always write about what I see. These charts have tremendous political influence over long periods of time, especially in the United States. Yet, because the US is attempting to be the world empire, these charts influence the world. They tend to "frame" each New Moon within a season and focalize the greater planetary cycles into our personal lives. All major cycles are very potent as we come to the end of the Mayan Calendar during the Galactic Underworld. Next is a discussion of why I consult the charts listed above. The European Imperialism Trigon, May 21, 1702: View ChartThis is the beginning of the current Superior Trigon Cycle-Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn in early Aries that ends around AD 2498. Superior Trigons are approximately 796 years long, and they are fantastic for analyzing long historical cycles. The Superior Trigon Cycle always begins in the early degrees of Aries (cardinal fire), which initiates new social forces on Earth. Trigons reveal how expansionary forces (Jupiter) manifest structures (Saturn), and also show how constriction may limit possibilities. Saturn tends to control the inner planets and the Sun and fields the potency of the outer planets--Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Jupiter works to receive outer-planet intelligence and disseminate it into the inner planets. The Jupiter/Saturn conjunction occurs every twenty years, and American popular culture (as well as the Elite) has leaned to fear it, since the USA president in office during the conjunction often dies in office. For example, Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy died, and Ronald Reagon was wounded. For my purposes, Trigons indicate which element--earth, air, fire, or water--dominates society. This influence is huge and illuminating, and we will experience the transition from earth to air in 2020. On that Winter Solstice day, Jupiter will conjunct Saturn in 0 degrees Aquarius. The earth element has been ruling since July 17, 1802, and the May 28, 2000 Trigon is the last cycle in earth. The last 200 years, mostly during the Planetary Underworld-1755-2011, have indeed been very earthy and material, which has greatly taxed Earth's ecology.Regarding the Superior Trigon of 1702, the element is fire, and the chart for it reveals a lot about the plans of European Imperialists mostly led by the British, French, and Germans since 1702. This process was intensified by the Earth Trigon in 1802, which added America to the group. The Superior Trigon with the Moon, Neptune, and Venus conjuncting the Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aries set off persistent aggressive forces, remarkable liberation and pain for women, and a potent spiritual transformation over 800 years. It seems to suggest that the individual development of will is what can prepare us for the Age of Aquarius. Nostradamus used the 1702 Trigon for many of his prophecies, yet he used a chart for the Spring Equinox before this Trigon, since he could not calculate the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction exactly. I use the exact conjunction in 1702 for the modern world, since now we can calculate the exact conjunction. (See The Secrets of Nostradamus, by David Ovason, Harper Collins, 2001, and The Mountain Astrologer, "The Great Conjunctions and the World Trade Center Attacks," by Robert Hand, April/May 2002, for more information.) The American Imperialism Trigon, July 17, 1802: View Chart This is the chart for Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn for the current cycle in earth, which occurred in early Virgo, when the USA joined the European Imperialists to play out various territorial designs. To understand more about how these cycles work by elements and triplicities, see The Mountain Astrologer article mentioned just above. I am working with this cycle a bit differently than Robert Hand. For example, he uses the Spring Equinox ingress in 1841 for the beginning of the earth cycle, and I use July 17, 1802, the first conjunction in earth, even though the next Jupiter/Saturn conjunction retrograded back to fire. I think the first entry into earth is the key, even if it moves back into a previous element. The 1802 chart aspects the 1776 USA chart strongly, which pulled the US into the European power games. This chart predicts great change and growth for the US, which occurred after 1802, when the industrial revolution of the Planetary Underworld (1755-2011 was in full swing. The Bushite Trigon, May 28, 2000: View ChartThis chart indicates how our hopes and dreams will be structured by the earth element until December 21, 2020, when the Trigon will occur in 0 degrees Aquarius during the Winter Solstice. These twenty years are strikingly significant for our species. The Bushites took over with such overwhelming power in America as soon as they got into office, their alteration of basic systems, such as Homeland Security, will tend to dominate for the whole twenty years. This chart indicates how we will use the last phase of the earth element--grounding ourselves. When we move into the air element--living by movement and energy--we will fly, especially since the air conjunction will be in 0 degrees Aquarius as the Age of Aquarius is moving in. Chiron is conjunct Pluto (on the USA rising conjunct Pluto in the WTC chart) opposite Sun and Mars, which suggests continual problems with violence and darkness that will force people to process the past and heal. Saturn-conjunct-Jupiter is in 23 degrees Taurus squaring Uranus in 22 degrees Aquarius, indicating the period will involve tense and creative experiments with resources. The chart indicates the USA will try to protect itself by controlling the world (due to the 11-12 degree Sag. influence and the Trigon rising is conjunct the USA Mercury). There will be remarkable exposures of how power and evil function, which will be extremely difficult for US citizens, who believe in the right to "the American way of life". USA 1776 Founding Chart--July 4, 1776: View ChartAll analysis of US politics uses some version for the foundation of America. This version is known as the Sibley chart. The Millennial Chart (Chiron conjunct Pluto), December 30, 1999: : View Chart This aspect is important because it was the most critical aspect as we entered the New Millennium. 11 Sagittarius is prominent in the WTC Bombing Chart and the USA Founding Chart. This was when the mundane world was herded into fear over the "Y2K crash", which actually did happen at the end of 2000 as the Nasdaq techie crash. Neptune was exact conjunct the Lunar South Node as we approached 2000 showing that we were mired in confusion. Chiron was conjunct Pluto previously in July 1941, the depths of WWII. Pluto conjunct Chiron exposes the nasty dark world of Pluto-manipulation and power games--so that a healing can come like lancing boils. Since this is the first conjunction with Pluto since Chiron was sighted in 1977, it triggered a crisis over how humanity can consciously face the darkest Plutonian forces and heal evil by processing pain. We must understand why humanity is so destructive, or at least learn to recognize real evil and take action against it. As hidden truths come out, priestly sex abuse, computer fraud, abuse of poor nations by rich nations, and shocking power grabs are becoming more visible every day. The Chiron/Pluto conjunction was in Sagittarius, which means we have sixty years of healing the pain over abuse from religions, so hold onto your hats, especially Roman Catholic Cardinals! By the end of this sixty-year phase, the truth about religious power games will be fully exposed. Watch for synchronicities between exposure of Elite corruption and the Roman Church, since they have worked in tandem for the past 2000 years. World Trade Center Bombing, September 11, 2001: View ChartI consult this chart because the USA is the most powerful country on Earth, and 9/11 made it possible for it to aggressively pursue military adventures in the world, mostly against the desire of its citizens. 9/11 functions as a timelock on Americans, since everything shifted fundamentally on that fateful day.
