AstroFlash! Report | December 2011

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 Three 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.

2011 Winter Solstice: December 22, 2011
12:31AM EST, Washington, DC

The Winter Solstice has arrived north of the Equator, a time of deep contemplation and mystical immersion following nine months of setting goals and then creating them in your world. [And for those of you living south of the Equator, it is the Summer Solstice, a time of expressing fully the goals set three months ago at your Spring Equinox.] Now it is time to consider the meaning of your work in the greater world and in the universe.

The Mayan Calendar culminated October 28, 2011, so this is the first Winter Solstice after the completion of our long evolutionary journey into Oneness; surely, this tipping point is very significant. Many of you are also aware that many people are instead focusing on December 21, 2012, the academic date (G.M.T. Correlation) for the end date of the Calendar. Some of those working with 2012 as the end date for the Calendar believe this date is the big alignment-the Winter Solstice Sun with the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. However, this alignment actually attained its closest point in 1998, so the 2012 Winter Solstice is not a big deal, since each Winter Solstice from around 1973 through 2023 is involved. Yet, this influence does herald the total transformation of human consciousness. Therefore, the first Winter Solstice after the real ending of the Calendar a few months ago cannot be underestimated; it has the potency to further open unity consciousness.

Since the ending of the Calendar on October 28, significant breakdowns of male domination are visible. For example, the exposure of abusive football coaches; American troops finally leaving Iraq; and the pressure to get the final troops out of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Since it is so difficult to imagine our world turning positive, I’ve been using astrology as a tool for ideas about how such a shift might occur. The reading for the Sagittarius (Sag) New Moon noted that the wild December 10 Gemini lunar eclipse (the fulfillment of the Sag New Moon) would be intense because Uranus went direct at 0 Aries. This combination seems to have shredded patriarchal financial resistance to supporting fairness with money because the Euro nations were forced to come to an agreement based on greater sharing. In the reading for the New Moon in Sag, which featured a wonderful grand trine in the earth element-Mars in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn trine Jupiter in Taurus-I noted that, “It (the grand trine) suggests that the world financial structures will not collapse totally because unexpected levels of support arrive that ease the transition into more fairness and equality.”

Of course when I wrote that analysis, I could not imagine what those unexpected levels of support might be; thus I was stunned when a few days later-the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the banks of England, China, Japan, and Canada all cut the cost for banks borrowing dollars from their own central banks until February 2013! No one ever imagined that big banks could or would make a move that could create greater equality and fairness in the world; this was an astonishing example of the power of the incoming unity consciousness as well as the influence of the grand trine in earth. But, as I also explained in the previous reading, what would be going on could not be understood until we could see what would happen during the December 10 Gemini Full Moon. That total lunar eclipse had the power to trigger a “huge reality shift when the world realizes that the huge changes already in gear cannot be stopped.” The fundamental problem with banks is excessive greed and the creation of unknown levels of debt, yet during and after Uranus direct and the December 10 eclipse, a cascade of banking collapses has not occurred nor probably will! The problems still exist in toto, but many people in power seem to be struggling to equalize the debt, which is a good sign of strong unity consciousness.

As we approach the Winter Solstice, we are in the middle of very tense and uncertain times and the financial problems continue to unravel day after day. The Capricorn New Moon that follows only two days later is loaded with information about how to personally handle our issues. For now, our need approaching the Solstice is to move into the deepest states of contemplation and to allow the highest wisdom to come into our minds. There is really no reason to worry; after all, it is only money-just another form of energy that is being reorganized. And, unless this balancing begins to occur, more and more people can see that our species is doomed to eternal war and male domination-the path of the 1%.

I will read the 2011 Winter Solstice seeking guidance for spiritual access, and then will look at how we can each play our own part during the Capricorn New Moon, which follows two days later. This year’s Winter Solstice chart has almost all the planets situated in deep resonance with each other, and intriguingly, the god of war, Mars, is not part of this harmonic dance. Mars has no aspects to the other luminaries, so he looms like a Watcher in the sky hoping the shift can liberate him to be mostly a god of personal power instead of merely the god of war. Ironically, it is our job to make that happen, and as the troops left Iraq December 16, we witnessed a sign of the coming times. At the Solstice, the Sun moves into Capricorn close to the Galactic Center and conjuncts Pluto; trines Jupiter in Taurus; squares newly direct Uranus in Aries; sextiles Chiron/Neptune; and sextiles Saturn. Expressed simply, the Solstice Sun is deepened by the presence of Pluto and both are resonated by wise and grounded Jupiter in Taurus. Also, the Sun squaring Uranus in Aries will further erode male-dominant control by creating crazy surprises that show it’s not working anymore; this aspect will continue throughout the winter months. The sextiles to the Sun from Chiron, Neptune, and Saturn encourage us to adopt deep ways of wisdom and healing instead of frittering away our resources and creativity. These aspects are all very close, so their intermingling patterns tell a story of remarkable change that is opening space for new patterns. Our world is like a re-tooled factory that is ready to spit our new models. These aspects to the Solstice Sun are game changers that allow each one of us to look at the world in entirely new ways. Speaking of looking at the world in an entirely new way, my latest book-Awakening the Planetary Mind: Beyond the Trauma of the Past to a New Era of Creativity-was just released to assist in this process; its timing could not have been more fortunate!

Since all the luminaries but one (Mars) are in close resonance with the Solstice Sun, all I can do is study each planet and look at all the aspects to it from its own unique perspective. The configuration that stands out the most is a T-square composed of Saturn in 28 Libra opposite Jupiter in 1 Taurus forming squares to Venus in 2 Aquarius. This T-square is a directive configuration that can activate the planetary resonations with the Solstice Sun, so let’s read it. Saturn in late Libra is finishing his quest for justice, fairness, and harmony that continues until early October 2012, since Saturn retrogrades at 29 Libra in February 2012. Thus we are midway through this process. With the opposition from Jupiter in 0 Taurus, which goes direct a day after the December 24 New Moon, we have the mythic Titans fighting for dominance in the heavens with the goddess Venus directing the script. Potent stationary Jupiter brings stability to Saturn in Libra and almost taunts him to accomplish his quest-universal fairness for all beings. Then the pressure of the great struggle releases its force through the tight T-square to Venus newly arrived in Aquarius-whose quest is liberation of the feminine. This wonderful and evocative T-square could create the most marvelous pillow talk and exposure of hidden loves that we’ve seen in a long time! In this environment, all presidential candidates and various new world leaders may regret past dalliances that helped them personally handle all the power and attention. Remember, this influence holds until the Spring Equinox!

In light of this fascinating potential, let’s see how we may be feeling by examining the Moon in 26 Scorpio during the Winter Solstice. The Moon in Scorpio squares Chiron/Neptune, trines Uranus in Aries, and sextiles Venus in Aquarius. So, as Venus pursues her liberation, the Moon in Scorpio operates from the Underworld and exposes many truths about male-dominant tricks. Chiron/Neptune squares the Moon and activates the healing potential of Scorpio’s intensity, while the trine from Uranus frees the Moon to have a good time. As you can imagine, this deep Moon being allowed her freedom could create some surprises, and you may find that your emotional life is very deep and healing this winter. Venus at the head of the T-square is also sextiled by Uranus in Aries, which eliminates any possibility she will be tamed.

Mercury is in 8 Sagittarius, so his aspects to all of these other patterns are not as close, but he still resonates with all of them. He is also near the North Node in Sagittarius, which is causing all of us to focus on liberation and action. As the planet of the mind, Mercury has access to all the resonation and he will be moving quickly. This chart is like an I-Pad with lots of Apps, so you will be rolling things around in your world and it should be fun this winter. The chart is so active that it is difficult to imagine being contemplative, but you must. When the water and waves are rising, we need to make it to shore or get in a boat. This winter, most of our focus on keeping afloat will be financial, but it won’t feel so bad because so many people are in the same vessel.

My reading for the New Moon follows shortly, with personal advice on how to navigate these difficult challenges. Have a lovely Winter Solstice and enjoy contemplation-rather than all the commercial distractions of Christmas!

Sagittarius New Moon: November 25, 2011 View Chart
1:10 AM EST; Washington, DC

The New Moon in Sagittarius has arrived! It is a subtle partial eclipse that encourages us to go within to discover the spiritual fire. This lunation is quiet and meditative, so it could be easy to just pass it by. Meanwhile, it is an optimal time to strengthen our multidimensional connections, since this New Moon culminates in a very intense total lunar eclipse on December 10. This will inspire a huge reality shift when the world realizes that the huge changes already in gear cannot be stopped. Those who follow these readings know the Mayan Calendar influence has culminated, and now we flow into 2012 seeking a whole new relationship with Earth. In this sense, 2012 is as important as the wild Universal Underworld time acceleration just completed on October 28, 2011. As we prepare for more great shifts, this New Moon is the perfect homeopathic remedy to wake up our cells; the coming times require cellular intelligence, the ultimate form of human unity.

This New Moon and some comments about the Full Moon offers some reflections on October 28, the first New Moon after the Calendar’s completion. I think astrological factors are going to have a greater influence on our species now that growth driven by the World Tree has completed. Gerry and I been part of a few groups during the Universal Underworld, and we taught two workshops on November 17 and 19, which really helps us know how people are feeling. Most everybody thinks something really happened during 2011, even though it is hard to define and describe it. The fall of so many world leaders, radical scientific theoretical shifts, and the gyrating world economies strongly support Carl Calleman’s theory as well as the McKenna brother’s Timewave Zero, which also ends at the end of 2011. A directive evolutionary process has completed itself, and we are poised to live differently, yet we don’t know what that will be. This New Moon report offers some sense of direction by also including the Full Moon that follows on December 10. Both are needed in this case; Mercury turns retrograde half a day before this New Moon and then goes direct right after the Full Moon; and Uranus is still retrograde during the New Moon, and then goes direct a few hours before the Full Moon. Mercury retrograde pulls our awareness deep within to shed light on the inner truths, while Uranus direct in 0 Aries is the mover and shaker of reality fields. Finally, the Full Moon’s T-square with Mars at the head resolves the New Moon T-square with Mars squaring the dark Moon, so Mars must be examined in both charts.

First considering the culmination of the World Tree influence, Calleman noted on November 8, “Unity consciousness manifests primarily in the absence of dominance especially in the world’s economical and political systems.” ["The Mayan Calendar Has Come to an End" on www.Calleman.com]. The breakdown of male dominance this year has been spectacular, and now people are struggling for new ways to lead and follow, a crisis that is the most visible in Egypt. Exactly on October 28, the British monarchy scrapped male succession; Euro leaders asked China to come to their aid; Exopolitics announced that Bush and Blair would be tried for war crimes in Kuala Lumpur; a super-hacker sucked out the data of 760 of the world’s largest corporations and stored it away for future use; and the exposure of an abusive football coach was rising to the surface at the venerable Penn State University. These events are all major breakdowns of dominant systems, and the events in science on the 28th are the most astonishing. Exactly on that day, physics announced that the Faster-than-Light Neutrino experiment was to be rerun, and if the results were the same, Einstein’s Relativity Theory would have to be challenged by physics. On November 17, the experiment was rerun and the results confirmed the original findings. This is a primary sign of a breakthrough beyond Quantum Theory to Multidimensional Theory, probably Superstring Theory. Also exactly on that final day, cold fusion produced energy in Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat Cold Fusion Laboratory. These new possibilities for producing energy are huge, since the Universal Underworld opened with the destruction of the Fukashima Nuclear Plant in Japan, the death knell of nuclear power.

If you’ve been feeling peculiar since the Calendar ended, please register that the accelerated events of 2011 are creating fundamental cracks and warps in reality! We can all feel this and it takes time to adjust. The cold fusion experiment especially caught my eye because the first successful cold fusion reaction accomplished by Fleishman and Pons in mid-March 1989 was connected to major Maya ceremonial work that I participated in. The Global Elite dunned Fleishman and Pons’s successful energy creation and then stole their results, yet this happened during “Maya Initiatic 1989,” when Hunbatz Men created a three-week ceremonial cycle for planetary stability. Hunbatz sure knew what he was doing because as we started our work near Palenque in the jungle, massive solar flares knocked out power up north and the first cold fusion succeeded while we were working in the sacred caves of Lol Tun. Then when we completed our ceremonies at Chitzen Itza, the asteroid 1989 FC flew so low over the Yucatan that we could hear the sky imploding! The energy coming to the planet in March 1989 was greater than anything I have ever experienced, and I think these same forces are to be created by the Sun and cosmic influences during 2012. As usual, Hunbatz continues to be right in the flow, as during October 2011 he traveled to American sacred sites with crystal skulls, just when cold fusion was happening again! We all have to be highly conscious and remember to breathe, since now it is time to examine the fields we will be playing in during this New Moon that culminate in a total lunar eclipse.

The New Moon is 3 degrees Sagittarius expresses very fresh and potent spiritual fire, which is intensified by the lunar North Node, Mercury, and Venus in Sagittarius with Venus right on the Galactic Center. This New Moon intensifies our feelings about our spiritual identity; the North Node gives us spiritual direction and intent, Mercury inspires spiritual thoughts and expressive words, and Venus opens us to the influence of the Galactic Center. Galactic gamma rays, light rays, and star emanations shower Earth in a veritable bath of universal intelligence. The events on October 28 show significant destructions of male dominant patterns, and during this New Moon, waves of Sagittarian energy will sicken abusers with awareness of the great pain they inflict on their victims. These lights in Sagittarius bring us great clarity as they pierce reality with the sword of truth. Change happens at the quantum level with waves collapsing into particles that carry new thoughts since matter is not solid, and there are times when even physical forms can transmute instantaneously. During the workshop in Portland, for example, we were informed that the new Keeper of the ninth dimension is the Super Galactic Center, so anything is possible now!

The New Moon is the top of a T-square to Mars in 7 Virgo opposite Neptune in 28 Aquarius and Chiron in 1 Pisces. Normally, this opposition would be a bit wide to be influential, but the New Moon in 3 Sagittarius pulls it together, so I’ll read it. Mars in 7 Virgo is a pack of structured transformational power that entices and activates the wounded healer, Chiron, to deliver Neptune’s spiritual guidance. Then this potent and activated spiritual delivery force is seeded into our minds and hearts by the New Moon in Sagittarius. This energy builds up to the Full Moon when the Moon in 18 Gemini on the South Node opposes the Sun in 18 Sagittarius on the North Node. Mars in 13 Virgo squares the nodal axis, which directs and releases the mutable powers of the Full Moon. These patterns with Mars and the eclipses penetrate into cellular and quantum dynamics that alter probability dynamics. These changing fractals shine rays of light onto completely new solutions that nobody even imagines right now. This is how the new creative potential of our species arrives, and this process is actually visible in this T-Square activating the New Moon. Simply put, the New Moon will implant a seed of fiery creative power that will be unleashed like a pack of totally free wild horses running free in the light of the Full Moon.

Nothing is going to harness the switching in quantum probability fields going on for two full weeks. Like solidifying ruby-red Jell-O, these oscillating fields will respond to waves emanating from our hearts, so intend what you desire. All the other planets are in league with the lunation, except for unaspected Mercury, which has just gone dormant in retrograde motion. Floundering male dominant controllers will just sputter and howl, as they find they have no words for their rage when their treats are withheld. New paths coming in will not be blocked, because Mars in 7 Virgo trines Jupiter in 2 Taurus trines Pluto in 6 Capricorn. This magnificent grand trine in Earth grounds and absorbs the new creativity that is flowing into Earth: It suggests that the world financial structures will not collapse totally because unexpected levels of support arrive that ease the transition into more fairness and equality. Uranus in Aries exactly trines the lunation, so the Sagittarian creative powers are unleashed without blocks. Uranus squares Venus on the Galactic Center, which activates high galactic intelligence for the great work of Earth. The creative potential of this chart is almost unlimited, because it is so beautifully supported by the grand trine in Earth and so powerfully activated by the trine to the lunation from Uranus in Aries.

Remember to tune in for the Winter Solstice reading and the December New Moon that follows four days later. And please read my personal note below.

I’ve chosen my words very carefully in this reading because my voice in this format is about to go away. While looking over the new moon and seasonal charts for 2012, I’ve realized I’m complete with astrological analysis. This column has been available since 2002, through most of the Galactic Underworld, and it will complete in December with a few more thoughts about the amazing experiences we’ve had during the Universal Underworld. During 2012, I will switch to making periodic statements that you will be able to access through our website. One of the reasons I am letting this voice go is because I need to assess the current form of modern Tropical astrology, which limits our access to the cosmic consciousness flowing into our world because it does not read the influence of the stars. Thank you for all your support for my work on this column over the past decade!

For those of you who feel you will miss this column, I’d suggest subscribing to Stephanie Austin’s new and full moon readings at EcoAstrology; you can also find her readings in The Mountain Astrologer. EcoAstrology Updates are emailed every two weeks, just before the new and full moons. In addition to covering the current astrological shifts, each update includes helpful links and resources.
