“In effect, the ego and our entire sense of self must momentarily dissolve, allowing our consciousness to go through the “eye of the needle” and actually dive directly into the archetype of transformation. This is far from an intellectual exercise; to pass through the eye of the needle we have to strip down, leaving behind memory, intellect, fear and desire.”–Archetype Design by Vishu Magee (in reference to emergence of the Creative)

You might assume that the first New Moon of this new year would plunge us into an awareness more significant and deeper than we have experienced yet. You would be correct. The energy around this Aquarius Sun/Moon conjunction is of course, electric and as such has the potential to transform existing elements into new organisms—the key word being transformation. At the very least what can occur is a fusing of the conscious or ego self and the instinctive self that results in awakening—even if for just a second or an hour or a day, to “get it” revolutionizes experience here. We are the ocean from which the wave arises not the wave, the screen upon which our thoughts are projected, not the object on the screen. As that which is, after all else is not, we proceed in perfect alignment with the natural unfolding—life is an experience then of pure grace.

With this chart we see old patterns being hastily dismantled allowing for the very timely eruption of the unknown. It could not have been more perfect if we ‘had planned it our selves’! The t-square: Saturn (29 deg Libra) Jupiter (1 deg Taurus) opposition, square to Sun/Moon (2 deg Aquarius). This represents a place of utilizing the truth, the deep inner knowing of Saturn in this last degree of Libra, in a practical way to divest one self of what ever does not serve ‘that’. With Jupiter in opposition, if there is doubt, that tendency will be expelled from your repertoire. The Sabian Symbol that applies to 2 degrees Taurus (always round up to the next degree) is an “electric storm”.

The crack of light we see blasting across darkened skies known as lightning is billions of volts of natural static electricity followed by thunder. It is a terrific display of weather that is beyond our control and supplies enormous energy to the atmosphere and environment. Such is the nature of Jupiter harnessed in this t-square; a powerhouse to assist us in overcoming insecurity.

This dynamic we find squaring ‘the eye of the needle’, the conjunction of Sun/Moon, should handily dissolve several layers of illusion in which we have bundled our selves for a long time. In this early degree of Aquarius the human being ‘awakens’ to it self as an individual with the potential to realize self. Formerly, as a part of the whole, in this case a component of society indulged in numerous rules and regulations that keep one focused on the illusion and not what is, there is attachment to existence within a structure appearing to be real. In reality it is our thoughts projected onto the screen. As we begin to wiggle free of the illusion, sometimes flaying madly in the beginning, we see more clearly. The movement lessens and as we approach the single point of truth there is no movement. We are still. It is in this stillness that we finally awaken.

The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon is a “deserter from the navy”; that is the individual moving to a place separate from the collective in order to realize self and know one self utterly.

All movement toward this is perfect. Movement, we cannot resist. We are always moving. Within the movement is perfect stillness. The wave rises and falls and yet the ocean can be still.

We have not finished with Saturn, the Lord of karma and gatekeeper; standing upon the threshold that leads to our only real desire here that of discovering self. Saturn is the last planet that has earthly association. Saturn assists us in creating boundaries that serve us in a positive way. They help us to navigate a three dimensional existence in a practical and focused manner. Over millennia, these boundaries have served to define us in a negative way—they have become too confining.

What we could benefit from is the field without the fence. In astrology that might look like Saturn trine Neptune. That is the case during this New Moon. This aspect has preceded the New Moon and will continue on after it. This aspect will separate soon as Saturn goes retrograde on February 7 (back to 22 degrees Libra) but will come back into exact trine in October at which time both planets will be 0 degrees of Scorpio and Pisces. Neptune in its own sign! A powerful plunge into the realm of the undefined. For the individual, if we dare to apply such a vast concept to a mere mortal, we have a magnificent opportunity to wear the light body!

Once again we discuss Black Moon Lilith and its role in this particular chart remembering how it has been a major player for many months. It stands to reason that the point which represents our deepest fears and our greatest liberation, should occupy a central spot in this present unfolding. Grand trines are an easy flow of energy, so it is said. With BML in Taurus in this position of grace with Mercury in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo we can be assured of energy being expended toward implementing solid thought structures, practical, workable ideas that further our goals of realizing how much we may affect our existence here in a positive way. Once we truly understand the relationship between earth, cosmos and humanity, there will be an automatic shifting of priority to utilizing resources in a more discriminating way that serves the safety and security and highest good of all individuals and thus the collective.

We are here to ‘do it’ and man being adaptable will choose to adapt rather than become extinct. What naturally needs to occur will. Without resistance or in other words when we surrender, our survival and transcendence are a natural part of the process. Our willingness to change along with this planet and the universe is supported by the conjunction we see between the asteroid Ceres and Uranus at 1 degree Aries and aspecting then Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, Sun/Moon and Saturn. There is a ‘healing’ taking place that will afford us a new perspective on who I Am. Aries refers to, “I seek my self” and that is exactly what is happening in terms of all forms of consciousness; seeking to remember self as that which simply is.

If this chart could be heard as a sound it might resemble 852 Hz, a frequency of 852 cycles per second. It is the return to spiritual order. If you wish you may listen to this here– HYPERLINK “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us4-4RGEjcY” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us4-4RGEjcY . What is spiritual order? From the perspective of non-duality, when we have pursued diligently the process of self inquiry and awaken to that which is when all else is not, that is spiritual order—being.

Our potential lies within our willingness to share and express what it is we discover about our selves knowing that this intimate communication with each other will promote an ease and harmony here. The waves of grace that embrace us now are encouraging such loving interaction. If we have resisted this in the past due to at least a dozen fears based upon memories from the past, they will seem inconsequential when the inner peace that is the alternative is recognized as a real choice.

During this New Moon delve deep and prepare for emergence into the light of self awareness and peaceful flow. When we do not resist there is boundless energy for so much more.
