Esoteric Astrology for the week of March 21 - 27, 2002 Beams of Resurrecting Light
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Next week Passover (Jewish festival of freedom from death) and the Aries Full Sun/Moon spiritual festival occur. The Aries Festival is the first of three (Aries, Taurus & Gemini) Sun festivals of the new Spiritual year (begun at Spring equinox). This festival overlays both Passover (Jewish) and Easter (Christian), festivals representing previous developmental stages for humanity and celebrated during different ages (learning stages of Aries and Pisces). Each age (2,500 years long) provides humanity with new laws, dispensations, rules, and opportunities for development. In the present Aquarian (our new age) unfoldment more of humanity will begin to embrace the Full Sun/Moon festivals which represent the new Aquarian rituals,dispensation, laws, rules, and opportunities for development. Long term readers of this column are aware that energies and forces stream into our planet through light waves. These light waves emanate from the 7 Rays in the Big Dipper, the constellations, and planets, dropping their information (encoded in light) to Earth. This reception and utilization of light is one very important and precise way humanity and Earth's kingdoms evolve. The 12 monthly Full Sun/Moon festivals are specific (and the only) times when the Earth is bathed in this special light (five days in all). During these times our evolutionary journey is accelerated. This information, little known to the masses of people, is known to those who study the esoteric Ancient Wisdom teachings (and read these columns). This week esoteric students the world over are preparing for the Aries Full Sun/Moon festival, also called the Festival of Resurrection (new light/seeds/Life of Spring), the same name for Easter. It is important to know what energies are available from this Aries Full Sun/Moon. For without this knowledge we cannot fully use, unify with, understand, and/or distribute the radiations of light available that brings more life to Earth and to all we come into contact (mineral, planet, animal, and human). During the Aries Full Sun/Moon festival the Forces of Restoration are provided. This is particularly important after the events of September 11th. During the Aries Full Sun/Moon a great Being called the Spirit of Resurrection streams forth energies into the world that lead humanity out of darkness (ignorance) into light, from the unreal to the real, from death to immortality (all dualities). We initiate a new creative work in Aries -- that of resurrecting the light out of form. An appropriate art visual responding to the Spirit of Resurrection during the Full Sun/Moon Festival are the etheric blue beams of light rising up from Manhattan's Ground Zero and representing the "resurrection" of the Twin Towers (Gemini) destroyed on September 11th. These beams of light, ascending from New York City (U.S. throat chakra signifying creativity) are a tribute to the spirit of recovery, renewal, and rebuilding. Sunday, the 24th is Palm Sunday with the Moon in Leo (leadership sign). On the first Palm Sunday, two thousand years ago, the first Aquarian,called Jesus the Christ, rode a donkey (commonality with the masses) into the city of Jerusalem (Jeru means city, and salem means peace) as the people waved palms (celebration heralding the coming Aquarian Age of Knowledge). Jerusalem is a state of heart/mind (where the Soul resides), the love center in the body. Jerusalem also signifies the unfoldment of peace (salem) and love (heart) in the Aquarian Age (city) through the development of knowledge. Because after knowledge is given and understanding happens, love occurs. This is Aquarian. Thursday, the 21st, begins with a mid morning void-of-course (v/c) and continues till 4:06 pm when the Moon enters Cancer. Comforting and nurturing foods will be sought. Mercury, the way we speak with each other, could create rather unempowering states of communication. We are to beware of this in order to maintain right Speech. Right Speech, with the intentions of goodwill and praise, is a quality of the Soul infused person. Friday, the 22nd, is an excellent money day (Venus/Pluto) but another day of difficult communication, especially late morning when our communication, intent on transforming situations, could also hurt and destroy. Mercury is square (challenge) Pluto. What this means is that the way we've spoken before may no longer be appropriate and we will be challenged to seek new levels of connections that regenerate and give new life with whatever and whomever we find ourselves. Silence is best. Saturday, the 23rd, is v/c all day till 9:12 pm. And Mars, which helps us initiate things but also makes us impatient and angry, could challenge the activities in our relationships. Beware of feeling aggressive, impatient, and angry. It's also not a day to initiate things due to the v/c. A day of sporting events, intense cleaning and clearing (physical levels), lots of exercise is best. With no expectations for and/or from others. With the Moon in Leo, beginning at 9:12 pm, our hearts open. Wait to connect till then. Sunday, the 24th, is Palm Sunday with Leo Moon. (See the second paragraph of the above column). Around 2:30 (PST) in the afternoon everything may seem as if it's falling apart once again. The Moon (emotions) is making a connection to Neptune (dissolving, confusion). Whatever occurs, see it as a sort of refinement. Things must fall apart before the next, new level appears. It will be over by dinner. Monday, the 25th, is a bit easier until around 5:57 pm (PST) when the Moon connects with Uranus (unexpected energies/events) and then becomes v/c till 10:44 pm (PST) when the Moon enters Virgo. Read before sleep. Tuesday's (26th) Moon in Virgo could bring criticism and critical thinking. It's a difficult day beginning at 9:49 am (PST). Mars connects with Pluto which can be powerful leadership and/or emotional intensity. It's a day to be careful. At 3:15 pm (PST) confusion could occur. Wait it out. And at 7:14 pm (PST) no one will understand what anyone's saying till next morning. Neptune has been contacted by both Moon (emotions) and Mercury (communication). Remember, Neptune's purpose is refinement. Prayer helps. Wednesday (27th) is clear until 2:52 pm (PST) when everything falls down again. We'll also be seeking nurturance in food and in others without much success. Everything will be in excess, especially our ideals. By 5:31 pm (PST) the Moon becomes v/c till 10:04 pm (PST) when the Moon enters Libra and we begin to seek balance through the chaos. At 7:27 pm (PST) , the asteroid Juno (love and fidelity in relationships) is stationary direct. Everything on hold (especially love) in our relationships will begin to be liberated. Wednesday at sundown, Passover begins. And at 8:00 pm (PST), (Wednesday is the evening before the Aries Full Sun/Moon on Thursday at 10:25 am), esoteric students are gathering together for the Festival of Resurrection ritual. The seed thought for Aries is, "From the plane of mind I rule." This signifies that all that is in form originated in the mind of God. In Aries, the seed of the illumined mind is planted in form. In order to have an illumined mind, there must be an integration and fusion between the Soul and the personality. During this Full Aries Sun/Moon, the request of aspirants is that the harmony (quality) of the Soul infuse the personality. Then one can "rule" from the plane of mind, where the Soul resides. Aries is Ray 1 which is the Will and Purpose of God. In Aries it is the will and purpose of God that our minds become illumined so that we can understand the purpose behind our creation, become servers of the Plan (along with the Hierarchy), and approach the "idea" of ourselves as perfect in the eyes of God. And so we "become." http://web.nightlightnews.com/OverviewfortheMonth/WeeklyHoroscopes/index.htm l
