The Transiting Lunar Nodes

[Rad]

All,

What I want to post first, before we go into an examination of the transiting Lunar Nodes now moving into Pisces/ Virgo, is the last chapter in the recently published book on Neptune by JWG. This chapter focuses on the transit of Neptune that applies to the whole planet, all the countries on the planet, all groups, and all types of peoples. It synthesizes all the relevant archetypes that apply to Neptune, the 12th House, and the sign Pisces. So I think it is important first for all of you to read through this, understand it, then we can focus all of this as you get into the specific nature of the Lunar Nodes now being in Pisces/ Virgo. If you have any questions after reading this please ask them of me.

God Bless, Rad

                                                 THE TRANSIT OF NEPTUNE

The bottom line in this transit is the ongoing evolutionary nature of the totality of all consciousness on Earth, and how this comes into the individual consciousness of the Soul. Each individual within the totality is affected in their own unique way relative to their total evolutionary conditions and, at the same time, experiencing what all other humans are experiencing in the world: the individual country where they live, and the specific groups of people in that country: whether it is Iraq, Rwanda, Ukraine, Samoa Island, etc. All of these individual consciousnesses all add up to and correlate with the total amount of humans which creates the collective consciousness so that each individual Soul's consciousness is then simultaneously evolving at every moment in time as a REACTION to the collective consciousness ! In turn each individual Soul consciousness that is evolving according to its own evolutionary condition then affects the collective at any moment in time that then correlates to the evolutionary nature of the human race itself.

All of the archetypes that we have talked about that correlate with Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House are occurring and interacting at every moment in time for each individual as well as the totality of all humans: the collective consciousness. The planetary rulers of the North and South Nodes of Neptune, Uranus and the Sun, correlate to additional archetypes that, in total, correlates to individual and collective dynamics that SERVE TO DEFINE THE NATURE OF EACH MOMENT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE COLLECTIVE IS CREATING AND EXPIERNCING.

As you at this very moment are reading these words you are experiencing the "˜world' around you as it is: all the events going on in the world, your country, your region, your city, your group or tribe of like-minded Souls, and your own individual Soul reality within all of this.

THIS IS YOUR LIVING EXPERIENCE OF NEPTUNE ! THESE IS NEPTUNE'S CONSCIOUSNESS. RIGHT NOW, AND IN EVERY OTHER MOMENT IN TIME. THIS IS THE NATURAL TRIAD OF CONSCIOUSNESS SYMBOLIZED BY THE MOON, YOUR EGO, PLUTO YOUR SOUL, AND NEPTUNE ITSELF: YOUR INDIVIDUALIED CONSCIOUSNESS RELATIVE TO THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ALL HUMANS. 

With the transit of Neptune in Pisces the core issues for each individual, and thus the collective, correlate to that which is true, and that which fiction is where fiction is a function of projected beliefs that are only "˜real' because they are "˜believed' in. Remember the projection that occurs relative to Neptune manifests from its South Node being in Aquarius. Aquarius correlates with projection just as the Source of All Things, Neptune, projected the manifest Creation in the first place. Thus, the individualized consciousness of each Soul as well as the collective of other Souls manifesting as groups of people of like mind, whole races of humans, countries, regions within countries, all project beliefs that define the nature of individual and collective consciousness relative to the specific nature of whatever the beliefs are.

As a result individuals and whole groups of humans everywhere can create a "˜reality' that is defined by these projected beliefs whether those beliefs are actually true or not. Each individual can be influenced by the collective group consciousness in the form of behavioral contagion because, in the end, the human species is a innately social in nature: like cows.

Relative to the four natural states of evolution where the consensus state is roughly seventy percent of all humans this then means that seventy percent of any population will desire to CONFORM with the consensus beliefs of whatever groups of people they find themselves in: countries, races, religions, and so on. As a result of this we can then have the majority of peoples in various groups around our Earth who "˜believe' in the projected "˜realities' that they manifest whether they are actually true or not. Thus, whole populations and groups of people, Souls, can be living in an almost total state of delusion yet believe those delusions to be real. Such delusions are then reinforced within these various groups because such groups will rebel, Uranus/Aquarius, against any other group whose realities defined by their own projected beliefs differ from their own.

The sad fact is that human beings can literally make themselves believe anything. It is only limited by the power of imagination. All's one has to do is open up any newspaper, visit the Internet, listen television and the radio, tune into some random conversation going around oneself, etc., to know just how unhinged and "˜crazy' human beings can make themselves relative to their beliefs. With Neptune transiting Pisces this craziness of what people can make themselves believe accelerates and infuses the collective consciousness as a result. Since all human Souls are part of the collective consciousness this can create a real feeling in Souls that remain grounded in that which is true versus not to feel like they themselves are going crazy. This can lead to a real sense of exasperation that affects the individual Soul consciousness to either try to do something about it and/or to desire to withdraw from the increasingly crazy world where white seems to be black, up seems to be down, and chaos seems to just around the corner.   

Differing beliefs within the collective consciousness of various groups of humans creates a psychological insecurity that is perceived as threatening to their need to be consistent in their delusive beliefs. So we end up will all kinds of groups of people who then desire to self-segregate from other groups in order to feel secure where security is dependent on the need to be self-consistent. To be self-consistent each group self-segregates in such a way as to reinforce TOGETHER their delusive projected beliefs.

These binding archetypes in the consciousness of the Soul thus can cause groups of people conflicting with one another where the nature of the conflicts can be as small as they can be large and traumatic. Human history from the time of around 7,200 B.C.E, the South Node of Aquarius, forwards is testimony enough to this fact. The most extreme examples of this correlate with genocides of one group attempting to exterminate another group of peoples.

At the time of this writing the transit of Uranus, the planetary ruler of the South Node of Neptune, is in Aries. All over our Earth we have large and small conflicts, wars, and one group attempting to dominate into submission, Neptune in Pisces, other groups of people who differ in their own projected beliefs. The underlying issue, again, in the nature of beliefs that they define the nature of the consciousness whether that is an individual, or whole groups of people. The Sun rules the North Node Of Neptune in Leo. Thus, this gives "˜purpose' to that which is believed in, it gives a way to actualize that purpose where that purpose is defined by the nature of the beliefs themselves, and for the individual and the group to integrate, Sun, their whole lives around. 

With Pluto transiting in Capricorn as of this writing we can now understand how all the different "˜strata' of each countries societies interacts within themselves as defined by the nature of the projected beliefs existing in all the different strata of whatever societies of peoples in whatever countries: Capricorn. Within this we see yet again the specter of nationalism in almost all lands and how nationalism is used as propaganda, beliefs, to justify the actions of the leaders of various countries who are creating conflicts with other countries, and their populations of people.

This then applies to all kinds of human issues such as immigration issues, economic issues, educations issues, one country trying to dominate or take over another country, and so on. The events that lead to World War Two started with Uranus in Aries, and Pluto in Cancer: the natural polarity to Capricorn. As these initial events in the early 1930's lead to the actual war  as Uranus moved into Taurus, survival, and Pluto moved into Leo that lead to the need to recreate the world after this war. And because of this war it also lead to the invention, Uranus/Aquarius of the atom bomb: Pluto. The "˜belief' of the one who invented it, Oppenheimer, was that if he created such a weapon of massive destruction that this would end all wars. Oppenheimer convinced himself, made himself believe, that GOD gave him this power to invent this atom bomb. Of course his personal belief system came from India and focused on the God "Shiva": the power of destruction and creation.

When the USA dropped the bombs on Japan the transiting Pluto was exactly conjunct it's North Node. It not only changed the world, but propelled that country into becoming what it became. Whole groups of people, countries, suddenly, South Node of Neptune in Aquarius, became realigned because of this new power caused by the invention of this weapon. The affect within the collective consciousness of all humans was unalterably changed.

We all know this recent history. It included the evil of Hitler that lead to the genocide of the Jews, Gypsies, and all who considered as "˜undesirables'. And, again, it was the function of beliefs that was the fuel of collective and individual Soul consciousness that created these events.

In the 1820's the transit of Neptune, with Uranus, were both in Capricorn. Remember Uranus is the natural ruler of Neptune's South Node in Aquarius. As an example of beliefs being used to justify one group of people creating genocide on another group of people this correlates with the "˜Monroe Doctrine' and "˜Manifest Destiny' that was used by the government of America to commit genocide upon its native population: the American Indians. Here again see the specter of nationalism being used as the rationale as well as the artificial beliefs that the Caucasian people were far superior to brown skinned American Indians.

That transit also correlated to the Industrial Revolution which needed to occur for the humans race because of the increasing amount of the human population that required a radical alteration of how humans organized themselves in order to meet the needs and demands of the increasing population of humans. A classic example of "˜need being the mother of invention'. And what was then invented altered forever how the human race lived on this planet, and with one another.

And, as an example of how history can repeat itself when Neptune was in Pisces the last time in conjunction with Uranus in Aries this correlates with the CRIMIAN WAR. 

So the underlying issue within this is whether that which is believed in actually true or not. Beliefs have many forms and types. From religious, cosmological, philosophical, political, economic, to human interactions of all kinds: family members, wives and husbands, lovers, friendships, employee and employers, to specific events where humans interact in some way.

When beliefs that are projected into any of these humans dynamics that are not true it will cause some kind of wounding to those whom are the recipient of such projections. Those who have been wounded by such projected beliefs can, in turn, can project back upon the source of their wounding with their own projected beliefs. This cycle can become un-ending. Within this is the fact that any Soul who projects beliefs of any kind that are not actually true is in reality wounding themselves. They wound themselves because they are believing in something that is not true. This type of wound is the wound of delayed evolution until the nature of the delusive belief(s) are pierced with the actual truth.

There always in an underlying truth to any given phenomena. That underlying truth is not a function of beliefs because the truth does not require beliefs BECAUSE IT IS TRUE. When that which is actually true interfaces with delusive projected beliefs that result leads to a disillusionment that itself leads to a potential variety of reactions depending on the underlying and existing context of the individual Soul's overall reality, specific types of groups of people, races of people, and whole countries.

The Neptune archetype of disillusionment is necessary to counteract any delusion or illusion so that an alignment with what is actually true can occur. When such a realignment takes place this then allows for an acceleration in the evolutionary intentions for each Soul, and it's consciousness. To the extent that any Soul continues to blind themselves to the actual truth, to hang on to their delusions and illusions at all costs, which means to sustain their delusive sense of security that is defined by the need to self-consistent, such a Soul is essentially marking time relative to their own ongoing evolution. The sense of psychological security and the need to be self-consistent correlates to Cancer which is part of the natural triad with Scorpio and Pisces.

The opportunity that the transit of Neptune provides for all Souls is to become aware of that which is delusional and illusionary in their lives versus what the actual truth is. To become aware of the truth of something, despite how bitter that may be, or how revelatory it can also be, is allow the evolution of the consciousness of the Soul to proceed. The realization of what is true about something does not always mean this occurs through the experience of disillusionment. The truth of something can be realized relative to something that the Soul has been wondering about, pondering about, or attempting to know in various activities like astronomy, some mystical need defined by a question, the motives of another, the reasons for this or that, and so on. The need to know the truth in this way for those types of reasons is also a key to accelerating the evolution of the Soul's consciousness.

If we remember that one of the core archetypes of Neptune is that which correlates with the need for meaning in our lives, including ultimate meaning, we can also see how it can correlate with meaninglessness. During the Neptune transit this can correlate to a progressive inner sense of meaninglessness relative to something that had held real meaning, including ultimate meaning, up until the transit impacted on that. With the South Node of Neptune in Aquarius in mind this starts with a progressive detachment that leads to dissolving of the prior meaning totality. As this occurs the consciousness of the Soul can feel very adrift, out to sea, no land in site, floundering within a sense of meaninglessness that is not immediately replaced by anything. 

The temptation when this occurs is to replace, immediately, that which is dissolving into meaninglessness with something, anything, that will recreate a sense of meaning for which has been lost. Temptation, as an archetype, correlates with Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th House which is, again, part of the natural trinity or triad with Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House, and Cancer, the Moon, and the 4th House. This then correlates with a time frame in which the Soul must be very careful in terms of what it is choosing to do, that which will recreate the sense of meaning that was lost. This is a natural time in which the Soul by way of the "˜inner whispers' from the Source of All Things is being asked to have an essential "˜faith' that what the next steps are to recreate that sense of lost meaning will reveal or present itself in its own time.

The problem and issue for most Souls is that the actual whispers from the Source Of All Things that correlate with those steps is initially ever so faint. The whispers initially are sporadic as well. This is exactly where the temptation of the Soul asserts itself where whatever the temptations are that offer some "˜quick fix' from the sense of meaningless, the sense of despair, of sorrow even, are all too often set into motion by the opposite of the Source Of All Things. That which we call Evil, or the Devil. The reason that this can occur is the very existence of what we call Evil, Lucifer, the Devil is dependent on Souls doing anything other than desiring to know their true Source, to replace that which is lost with something that directly leads the way back HOME where home is the Source Of All Things.

So the quick fix manifesting as this temptation or that can seem so attractive, so "˜right, that whatever it is the actual answer to the Soul's prayers or anguish. When any Soul makes choices to follow such quick fixes in the form of these types of temptations then, of course, the very thing that recreates the sense of meaning in order to replace the meaningless itself becomes a source of meaninglessness itself. Round and round the Soul will go until it realizes that it must be patient so that the original whispers that actually come from the Source Of All Things, whispers that actually reflect the individual consciousness of the Soul, it's existing context, correlate with its own next evolutionary steps in some way, become ever louder, more frequent, and create a real sense of Soul meaning.

When the consciousness of the individual Soul responds in this way to that which has been dissolved into meaninglessness by making choices to act upon the whispers from the Source Of All Things then this will lead to a true and real sense of meaning that will be sustained for some time, as well as allowing the Soul to actually evolve according to its own individual evolutionary journey.

Beyond the immediacy of whatever the circumstances that have led to this the opportunity within the Neptune transit is to reflect, to turn inwards, in such a way as to have a determined intent to reflect in hindsight upon the Souls entire life in order to become aware of any and all delusions, illusions, self-deceptions, being deceived by others, and deceiving others. Once identified the next step is then to make the effort to understand the inner dynamics within the consciousness of the Soul that have been responsible for this. The self-knowledge that is thus gained and APPLIED allows the Soul to accelerate upon its own evolutionary path and trajectory.

This is why it is essential as Evolutionary Astrologers to understand the individual context of any Soul's reality: where it has been, where it is now, and where it intends to go. The entire Evolutionary Paradigm that exists in all birth charts for all Souls is that which allows us to understand this. It is the exact individual context of the consciousness of the Soul. So when trying to understand the Neptune transit in our or our clients lives it is essential to understanding as deeply as possible the individual evolutionary journey for the Soul relative the Evolutionary Paradigm: the natal position of Pluto, it's polarity point, the South Node of the Moon by its own house and sign, the location of its planetary ruler by its own house and sign with aspects to all these points from other planets, the North Node of the Moon by its own house and sign, the location of its planetary ruler by its own house and sign, and all the aspects to these points from other planets.

Wherever the actual transit of Neptune in Pisces is, or whatever sign it can be in, relative to the house it is transiting must involve the understanding of the Evolutionary Paradigm. In addition, it is necessary to locate and understand the transits of the natural planetary rulers of Neptune's South and North Nodes: Uranus, and the Sun. All the archetypes that correlate to Neptune, as detailed in this book, as well as Uranus and the Sun are active at any moment in time as symbolized by the location of the houses and signs that they are transiting.

Neptune correlates to that which needs to be dissolved in order for Soul growth to occur, with the nature of our existing delusions/ illusions can exist that need to be confronted with actual reality so that evolution of the Soul can proceed by way of replacing them with the actual truth, of where emotional and instability of the consciousness of the Soul can occur and for what reasons, how to heal that emotional and instability if it is existing, of where we have been and are deceiving ourselves and for what reasons and/or how we have allowed ourselves to be deceived and for what reasons, of where our Souls are creating events and circumstances that do not take responsibility for which leads to the feeling of being victimized, of where we can be victimizing others by way of making others scapegoats for that we, in the end, we are responsible for, of where the impact of the collective consciousness on our individual lives can be the most extreme leading to a feeling being out of control in our own lives, of where the Soul can actually influence the existing state of the collective consciousness by way of their own actualization of their unique Soul consciousness and it's capacities, AND WHERE THE WHISPERS FROM THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS manifest within each individualized Soul consciousness that allow for a quickening of the evolutionary pace if acted upon. Such whispers from eternity, God/ess, are the individualized messages that allow of an inner alignment of the individualized Soul consciousness WITH IT'S SOURCE.

In conjunction with Neptune the transiting Uranus, the planetary ruler of Neptune's South Node, correlates with the archetype of FREEDOM FROM THE KNOWN. Wherever this transit is by house and sign location, aspects that it is making to other planets, correlates simultaneously with the past of the Soul that is interfacing in each moment, Neptune, that then allows for a freedom of  that known past by way of liberating from it. Liberating from it means to become inwardly aware, attuned, to messages, whispers, from the Source Of All Things wherein the nature of those messages is to not only leave the past behind, the parts of the past that are no longer necessary, for the ongoing evolutionary growth of the Soul itself. These whispers, messages, reflect and symbolize a revolutionizing of that past that metamorphose into the Soul's evolutionary future: to sustain the parts of the past, the inner dynamics that have caused it, that are still relevant to the Soul's evolving future with the messages that allow that future to manifest. 

In combination with Neptune these messages, whispers, directly correlate with the individual consciousness of the Soul: where it has been, where it is now, and where is going as defined and symbolized the EVOLUTIONARY PARADIGM itself. As such, the nature of the whispers and messages are directly linked with that unique nature of any given Soul. Uranus correlates with an acceleration of the evolutionary intentions of any given Soul when the messages, whispers, from the Source Of All Things become "˜quickened' by way of Uranus. So the originally faint and relatively distant messages that correlate with Neptune become ever more conscious within the consciousness of the Soul by way of this quickening. The once distant billboard is now becoming ever closer.

Sometimes the nature of these messages and whispers demands a complete break from the past: a total letting go in order to start anew. Other times these messages and whispers simply demands that we add onto some existing reality that is in place, a reality that is still serving the evolutionary intentions of the Soul. In either case, a quickening of the evolutionary pace will take place. Sometimes these messages and whispers will seem to be very radical to the individualized consciousness of the Soul as compared to what the existing reality is. It is not uncommon for Soul's to resist these messages and whispers, to detach from them, to create the rationalization that, indeed, they are too radical that would require, if acted upon, to total upsetting of their existing reality. In other words, the Soul can make itself feel insecure and ungrounded, Neptune, if it actually considered taking action of these messages. A typical reaction of this type manifests as "˜well, this is crazy, this is delusional, or I will do this at some other time'. In so doing the Soul then creates a reality for itself that is essentially marking time in an evolutionary sense.

The natural quickening of the messages of Neptune to Uranus manifests wherein the messages and whispers become progressively repeating within the individualized consciousness of the Soul. This is intentional from the point of view of the Creator Of All Things. This is how God/ess attempts to get the ATTENTION OF THE SOUL ITSELF. These messages will now be a combination, a synthesis, of whatever the house and sign of the Neptune transit is taking place within with the house and sign of the Uranus transit. Within this the aspects that both planets are making to other natal planets, their own house and sign locations, will contribute to what the very nature is of these whispers and messages from eternity. 

Again, these messages and whispers will become progressively repetitious: like a knocking on the door. Relative to the temptations of Evil. of Lucifer or the Devil, these repeating and progressively repetitious messages and whispers will be interfered with. This interference will manifest "˜sudden' ideas that seem to come from nowhere that create a real sense of Soul excitement in terms of how tempting they can be. Yet these types of Lucifer induced messages do not have the ongoing repetitious nature of the actual messages and whispers from God/ess. They come, and they go. If a given Soul chooses to act upon them they are inevitably met with some kind of traumatic event that pops the balloons of delusion being influenced by Lucifer itself. The intent, from Lucifer's point of view, is to keep the Soul ensnarled with delusions in such a way as to prevent the inner alignment of the Soul with it Maker by way of the whispers from eternity that the Maker is inducing in the individualized consciousness of the Soul.

There are of course times in the life of almost all Souls in which the very nature of the circumstances that it has created for itself that ignite and inner feeling of hopelessness, of reaching a dead end with no way out, of desperations that can be so intense that they induce an inner feeling of hysteria, an sense of not being able to change or alter the circumstances themselves. At these times many Souls inwardly or outwardly pray, or ask for some kind of divine or supernatural help from whatever the circumstances are that are causing this psychological state for the Soul. The Soul needs help, an intervention, to change that which can seem so hopeless and futile.

Many times, not always of course, if the Soul is sincere enough, and it not bound by some karmic determinant that requires that whatever the conditions are that are causing this inner psychology of the Soul, The Source Of All Things can in fact intervene to help change or create relief in some way from those conditions. When this happens it seems to the Soul that some kind of miracle has taken place, that the answers to the prayers have been realized.

The North Node of Neptune in Leo, again, is ruled by the Sun. The Sun correlates to how we integrate the very purposed of our lives, of how we go about actualizing and integrating those purposes. Thus, the natal Sun in combination with the transiting Sun both correlate to how the Soul is meant to integrate, actualize, and give purpose to the ongoing evolution of the Soul relative to all the archetypes of Neptune and Uranus that we have been discussing.

It should be clear from the point of view of Evolutionary Astrology that a total and complete understanding of the natal Evolutionary Paradigm serves as the foundation, the individualized consciousness of the Soul, needs to be understood. From that foundation the Evolutionary Astrologer then understands how to understand an integrate the evolving, transiting, nature of this paradigm manifesting as the transits of Pluto, the North and South Nodes of the Moon, and the transits of their natural planetary rulers but to now add to that foundation and context the understanding of the Neptune transit itself which includes the transits of the natural planetary rulers of its own North and South Nodes.

Hi All,

This is an incredibly fascinating thread and I would very much like to be involved if possible. I've been away from the message board for many years, but would love to come back and share some of my thoughts and personal experiences especially in regard to this current transit of Neptune. Would it be inappropriate to share our personal experiences and ask questions about this Neptune transit and the lunar nodes as they relate to our natal charts or is this strictly limited to anonymous clients and/or world events? Not looking for free readings, just a place to share some personal understandings and direct experiences related to these topics. Thanks for the consideration. :-)

[Rad]

Hi Greg,

Right now is not the time to share personal experiences and the Neptune or Lunar Nodes transits. If you have questions that are based and rooted in what is being presented then of course ask.

God Bless, Rad

All,

Ok, the Lunar Nodes have shifted from Aries/Libra to Virgo/Pisces. They will be in these signs for the next 18 months. So locate in your own birth charts the house of the transiting S.Node of Pisces is in, the location of it's natural planetary ruler Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects that it is making to other planets, the location of the S.Node of the planet Neptune by it's own house, sign, and all the aspects to it. All of these archetypes and the dynamics they generate will correlate to the Soul's evolutionary past that it is now accessing in the present moment, how all of these archetypes/ dynamics are shaping and defining the nature of the each existing moment in your lives, and how those past archetypes/ dynamics are interfacing with the Soul's evolutionary future.

That future is symbolized by the transiting N.Node of the Moon in Virgo which, of course, is in the opposite house/ sign of the transiting Lunar S.Node, the location of your natal Mercury by it's own house, sign, and all the aspects to it, and the N.Node of Mercury by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it.

So, right now, either make mental notes about this transition from the past to the future relative to these symbols and/ or write them down like an outline that will help you organize all the information that all of these symbols, in total, correlates too.

Tomorrow, Thursday, I will detail the various archetypes/ dynamics the transiting Lunar S.Node of Pisces and the N.Node of Virgo will correlate too.

God Bless, Rad

All,

I will be back here soon to continue on in our thread. Some 'stuff' has come up that I need to deal with just now. I do want to post the following article about the 'tipping point' of bacteria mutating, Pluto/Scorpio/8th House, to the point that they have evolved/ mutated to becoming, right now at this point in time, drug resistant to any and all existing anti-bacterial drugs. And this announcement has just been made that correlates exactly the the Lunar Nodal axis shifting into Pisces/Virgo. The archetypes of Pisces and Virgo of course correlate to the very nature of the immune system in all forms of organic life, including humans. The immune system is specific to Pisces, Neptune, and the 12th House. When the immune system acts to defend the organism against some invading force such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, and fungus it creates a crisis, Virgo, that requires the organism to do something about: to make the adjustments necessary in order to heal, Pisces, the crisis, Virgo.

Thus, humans have discovered many, many natural medicines in Nature to deal with illnesses caused by these things and, in recent times, have designed allopathic medicines that essentially use these natural compounds and make them more potent in order to be ever more effective in dealing with illnesses born of bacteria, viruses, etc. Penicillin is a perfect example. Drugs whether designed by humans, or the natural medicines, drugs, that occur in Nature correlate to Pisces, the 12th House, and Neptune.

Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th House correlate to the defense systems that protect the Soul and the body it is in from whatever it needs to defend against. One of those defense systems is the immune system. All organisms mutate and evolve as a form of the core instinct, in all forms of life, to SURVIVE. Thus, bacteria's, viruses, parasites, and fungus's also mutate and evolve. The reality, Pluto in Capricorn, is that they mutate and evolve much more quickly than the human organism. This naturally accelerates, by the way, as the climate becomes ever warmer: global warming.

So we have now reached a point of time, right now, in which bacteria's have mutated to the point that there are no longer any existing allopathic drugs, anti-bacterial, that will defend the human organism, or other forms of life such an animals, against them. A true tipping point has been reached that will correlate to a major cataclysmic crisis, Virgo, for the human organism and it's immune system, Pisces.

"˜Invincible' bacteria threatens global epidemic: study

Agence France-Presse
19 Nov 2015 at 06:02 ET                  

Medicine's final line of defence against deadly disease has been breached, raising the spectre of a global epidemic, scientists say, after finding bacteria resistant to last-resort antibiotics.

The discovery could herald a virtual return to the Dark Ages, with doctors unable to control common germs like E. Coli, rolling back centuries of medical progress.

"These are extremely worryingly results," said Liu Jian-Hua, a professor at China's Southern Agricultural University and co-author of a new study.

Liu and his colleagues found a gene, called MCR-1, that allows bacteria to become resistant to a class of antibiotics known as polymyxins, which are used to fight superbugs.

The gene, which was detected in common but deadly bacteria such as E. Coli and K. Pneumoniae - the cause of pneumonia and blood diseases - effectively makes bacteria invincible.

Most worryingly of all, the gene is easily spread from one strain to another, said the study, which was published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, prompting warnings they could have "epidemic potential".

Until now, rare cases of resistance occurred only through mutation in individual organisms, severely limiting transmission.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has already warned antimicrobial resistance may result in "a return to the pre-antibiotic era," where even small infections - or cuts - could prove fatal.

- Animal to human -

The superbugs were detected during routine testing of pigs and chickens in southern China, where animals were found to be carrying bacteria resistant to colistin, a drug widely used in livestock farming.

A team of researchers then examined E. Coli and K. Pneumoniae samples collected from pork and chicken sold in dozens of markets across four provinces.

They also analysed lab results from patients at two hospitals in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces.

More than 20 percent of bacteria in the animal samples, and 15 percent of the raw meat samples, had the telltale mcr-1 gene. It was also found in 16 of the 1,322 specimens taken from hospitals.

The lower infection rate among humans almost certainly means that the resistant bacteria passed from animals to humans, the study found.

It said that while mcr-1 was "currently confined to China" it was likely to spread globally.

"This is a worrying report, as polymyxins are often the last resort antibiotic to treat serious infections," said Laura Piddock, a professor of microbiology at the University of Birmingham.

"Equally worrying is that this type of resistance can be easily transferred between bacteria."

- Nothing to fight disease -

Other types of drug resistance - such as for tuberculosis - show that "this likely paves the way for it to spread throughout the world," she added.

Some 480,000 people contracted multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in 2014, according to the WHO. The disease killed 190,000 in the same year.

Professor Timothy Walsh of the University of Cardfiff, who collaborated on the study, told the BBC News website antibiotics could soon become useless.

"If MRC-1 becomes global, which is a case of when not if, and the gene aligns itself with other antibiotic resistance genes, which is inevitable, then we will have very likely reached the start of the post-antibiotic era," he said.

"At that point if a patient is seriously ill, say with E. Coli, then there is virtually nothing you can do."

The study will renew debate about the use of colistin in animal husbandry, researchers said.

"The finding that this type of resistance can be shared by different bacteria - irrespective of whether from food, an animal or a person - is further evidence that the same drugs should not be used in veterinary and human medicine," Piddock said.

All,

Well we had our own little Lunar North Node transit in Virgo, S.Node in Pisces, crisis yesterday. Some of you know that we have had specific threads on the environment, Pope John, the animal or daemon thread, and a Pluto in Capricorn/ world events thread before we stopped posting to it. Some of the articles in these threads came from the Guardian newspaper out of England. We were contacted by them a couple days ago and threatened with legal action if we did not remove the posts with their articles. As you all know we don't charge any money for coming to this message board. We simply want to pass on information that correlates to the different transits that occur at any point in time so that correlations can be made. All articles are posted with the originating source on them: we are not trying to rip someone off. And many of these articles of course had links right back to the original website, such as the Guardian, that would help in our own small way to their readership.

Well, none of this mattered to the Guardian. How they could even be aware of our little website boggles my mind in the first place. In any case this is a example of how corporations, Pluto now in Capricorn, have such a global reach as defined by their own self interests. And those self interests are about controlling everything that it is possible for them to control.

So we have had to take down those threads.

All,

Ok, let's continue on with our understanding of the transiting Lunar Nodes now moving into Pisces and Virgo for the next 18 months. I would like to present this as various archetypes that, in total, will correlate with these archetypes a little bit at a time. That way if you have questions as we go along it will be much more organized for all concerned. When appropriate we will be using chart examples of well known public people to illustrate and demonstrate the archetypes that we are talking about.

So let's begin.

One of the deepest archetypes that Pisces, the 12th House, and Neptune correlate to is for the Soul to have a core sense of MEANING for it's life. This need and desire for meaning can be an ultimate meaning for living, or it can be a transitory sense of meaning given the nature of whatever circumstances that manifesting at any moment in time.

The desire for ultimate meaning is that which causes the Soul to want to know what is the very basis of the manifest Creation: the natural laws that were set in motion by the act of Creation in the first place. It is within these natural laws that the Soul can, in fact, consciously know and unite with those specific natural laws for it to directly perceive, to the extent possible in human form, the very nature of the manifest Creation.

The desire of ultimate meaning is also that within the Soul that can cause it to invent or project what that ultimate meaning actually is. This invention is then called religions that require beLIEf in that which is being projected in order to have that sense of ultimate meaning. This is obviously very different than direct inner perception that can occur via the alignment of the Soul to the specific natural laws that allow it to do so.

That which is projected or invented as the ultimate meaning in the form of beliefs is, in the end, nothing more than a delusion or illusion where the delusion or illusion is considered, beLIEved, to be true.

Ultimate meaning that occurs through the Soul's alignment with specific natural laws that allow it to directly, inwardly, perceive the nature of the manifest Creation correlates with KNOWLEDGE. There is nothing to "˜believe' because of the directness of the inner perception, knowing, of what those natural laws allow for the Soul to directly perceive.

Right now on our planet the vast majority of humans "˜believe' in some kind of invented religion, some kind of invented God, with all the attendant dogmas, moralities, ethics, and the rights and wrongs of human behavior. And it is because of this fact that almost all the wars and conflicts among humans take place because one religion has to be the "˜right' religion in order for that projected sense of ultimate meaning to be sustained. History right up to the current moment is sad and tragic testimony to this fact. Almost every conflict between humans has at it's core some group with their definition of "˜god' fighting or hurting and killing another group of peoples with another definition of god.

When a Soul is in alignment with the natural laws that allow for direct inner knowing, perception, of the manifest Creation that knowing/ perception that occurs IS THE SAME FOR ALL HUMAN SOULS. As a result, such Soul's do not need to compete or go to war with other human beings through the vehicle of the invented religions and their gods.

When the transiting S.Node of the Moon goes into Pisces, especially now in conjunction with the Neptune transit itself being in Pisces, and the transiting N.Node goes into Virgo it becomes a time, an evolutionary imperative, to critically analyze that which is constituting the sense of meaning in the life of the Soul: whether that meaning is a temporal, transiting, or ultimate sense of meaning. This is true for all of us in a generalized sense.

Whatever beliefs that the Soul has are the determinants of how phenomenal reality is interpreted. How phenomenal reality is interpreted, as determined by the nature of the beliefs, is that which is then the meaning that the Soul creates and projects upon the nature of phenomenal reality. These beliefs, whatever they are, then become the determinants of how the Soul takes in new information, and how that information is then communicated to others: Virgo, the 6th House, and Mercury.

If other Souls have different beliefs which create different meanings relative to phenomenal reality and the events that take place in that reality, then crisis and conflict can occur among Souls, and among whole groups of Souls. Remember that most Souls, in order to feel emotionally and psychological secure, must be self consistent. And, again, self consistency is a function of the past that is shaping and defining each moment in time where that moment in time is also interfacing with the yet undefined future. The undefined future can be a threat to the need to feel emotionally and psychologically secure which is why most souls project their past into the current moment, and the yet undefined future. This is exactly why history tends to repeat itself.

Relative to Pisces, the 12th House, and Neptune the beliefs that can be projected by the Soul ARE ONLY LIMITED TO THAT WHICH CAN BE IMAGINED. When invented or projected beliefs correlate to some ultimate cosmology that constitutes the meaning for any given Soul we can now see why most Souls will resist any challenge that threatens that invented ultimate cosmology. The desire and need to be "˜right' is that which is the cause of the resistance, and the need to be "˜right' is the mirror of the need to be self consistent in order to feel secure.

In the times we now live in we are all exposed by way of radio, television, and the internet to the incredible diversity and spectacle of what humans are capable of making themselves "˜believe', of how phenomenal reality, specific events that all humans are exposed too, are "˜interpreted'. And each human that does this, of course, knows that whatever it is that they think they know as determined by their beliefs is of course correct and right. And that any other Soul that does not agree with them, who is "˜wrong', is a potential threat to their own concocted "˜reality'. Thus almost all humans are critical of other humans who do not agree with whatever it is that they believe to be true.

Wherever the transiting Pisces S.Node of the Moon is in any given chart by house relative to the placement of the natal Neptune by house, sign, the aspects to it, and the S.Node of Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it, will correlate to what parts of the past of the Soul's evolutionary journey has constituted the core sense of meaning, ultimate or temporal, that will either be sustained and evolved, or that which no longer holds any meaning at all and is thus dissolved.

The transiting N.Node of the Lunar Node in Virgo correlates to the evolutionary future of any given Soul relative to the transiting S. Lunar Node in Pisces. Thus, the Virgo, Mercury, 6th House archetypes of analytical discrimination serve as the vehicle through which the Soul will or can know of that which needs to be sustained that constitutes the sense of meaning, and that which does not: that which seems to be dissolving because of the prior meaning being no longer holding any meaning at all.

Since it is the transiting Lunar North Node that correlates with the evolutionary future we can now understand that when this is in the sign Virgo that the Soul, collectively or individually, can create crisis, in one way or another, in which the very nature of the crisis created serves as the way, a natural way, for the Soul to be forced to examine the REASONS OR CAUSES of that created crisis. Additionally, the Soul is forced to examine how and why it interprets whatever the crisis is where the interpretation is a function of the pre-existing beliefs that the Soul assumes to be true.

Crisis can thus serve as a vehicle in which the Soul becomes disillusioned relative to some pre-existing assumption that is defined by the nature of existing beliefs about the nature of whatever. Being disillusioned then correlates with an evolutionary need or imperative to align with actual reality versus the illusion or delusion caused by some belief that was not, by it's nature, actually true.

One of the typical reactions by Souls to when some existing delusion/ illusion caused by beliefs is exposed because of the nature of an existing crisis is to sustain that existing delusion or illusion by inventing another belief in order to do so. This is done in order to sustain the sense of meaning despite the fact that the meaning itself is a delusion. If not, a sense of meaninglessness takes place, and, within that, an existential void takes over. That void is about an emptiness that takes over, and within that emptiness a deep sense of being utterly alone. And, within this, the real sense of what is being dissolved or removed is not being replaced by anything.

Right now let's use the chart of Tom Cruise to illustrate some of these points, his natal chart, and his natal chart with the current transits is attached. To view these charts in full size simple click on the chart 'jpg': it will then download to your computer, fill your screen.

As most of you know Cruise has been utterly enmeshed and defined by the 'religion' called Scientology for many, many years now. You can see through his natal chart that his S.Node of Neptune in Aquarius in his 3rd is conjunct his 4th House Saturn in Aquarius, his N.Node of Neptune is in his 9th conjunct his Moon, and these Nodes of Neptune are square his natal Neptune in Scorpio in his 1st House. This is ruled by his natal Pluto in Virgo in the 11th, and that is in opposition to his Jupiter in Pisces in his 5th which is conjunct Chiron. The planetary ruler of his S.Node of Neptune, Uranus, is in Leo conjunct his Venus, and S.Node of Venus in his 10th. The ruler of his N.Node of Neptune is the Sun in Cancer in his 9th.

We can clearly see how this Soul has orientated in past lives leading into the current one towards 'religious' or psychological organizations that offered some sort of projected cosmology that offered some ultimate meaning to those who were attracted to it. We can see that such groups were typically 'different' or outside the mainstream of consensus religions. We can see that he has had positions of great authority within these, and that that authority in that context created a sense of fame: of being an icon to others. We can also see that the actual reality of those organizations was/is very different that what the projected cosmology was offering by way of that serving as the 'hook' to attract it's followers. His natal Pluto, the ruler of his natal Neptune, is Mercury in Gemini in his 8th: duplicity is the underlying issue here.  

When Cruise has been challenged by others about the actual reality of Scientology his is reduced to an almost hysterical/ maniacal defense of it. This is clearly seen in this natal signature that we are talking about here. Hysteria and being maniacal, as archetypes, correlate specifically to Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House.

Netflix has recently released a documentary made by HBO called 'going clear' that exposes what Scientology is, and how it came to be by it's founder: Hubbard. This has occurred as the  Neptune transit is in opposition to his natal Pluto, and conjunct his Neptune and Chiron. Documentary films specifically correlate to the 11th house, Aquarius, and Uranus and their polarity of the 5th House, Leo, and the Sun. Yet this Neptune transit is also trining his natal Neptune and his Sun which will allow his to sustain and defend his enmeshment with the delusion of Scientology anyway. 

Here are some links for you to check out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWPeSsxpfew

Once you are on You Tube by clicking on that link we will then see other clips you can also click on about Scientology and Cruise.

The case of Cruise could of course be exampled in so many ways in the form of this or that religion, this or that key person in this or that religion, and so on. Right now we are simply using him as an example of how the Neptune archetype can be used by so many to make themselves 'believe' is some projected ultimate meaning that, in actual reality, is a total delusion

If you have any questions, before we move along, please ask them of me now.

Hi Cat,

Thanks for providing all the information about all this 'stuff'. I simply had no idea about any of this. My intent was purely educational relative to those other threads/ posts that had to be taken down, and to allow for the relevant astrological correlations to be made in terms of events at specific points in time.

The corporate world, to me, is the very embodiment of what has gone wrong with the human organism: shifting the inner definition, the defining archetypes of how it's consciousness is structured, from giving, sharing, and inclusion to one of utter self interest and exclusion. The 'profit' for the few being the values that this generate, versus that which 'profits' all humans equally.

And, that, to me, explains, in essence, what has gone so horribly wrong for humanity for many thousands of years now.

Fuck ...

and...

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad,

For myself I thought I'd go through how you'd derived your analysis of Tom Cruise's chart, to see if I was on track with it, and so if it's OK I've outlined it here. If I've got anything wrong with it anywhere would you mind correcting me?

As most of you know Cruise has been utterly enmeshed and defined by the 'religion' called Scientology for many, many years now. You can see through his natal chart that his S.Node of Neptune in Aquarius in his 3rd is conjunct his 4th House Saturn in Aquarius, his N.Node of Neptune is in his 9th conjunct his Moon, and these Nodes of Neptune are square his natal Neptune in Scorpio in his 1st House. This is ruled by his natal Pluto in Virgo in the 11th, and that is in opposition to his Jupiter in Pisces in his 5th which is conjunct Chiron. The planetary ruler of his S.Node of Neptune, Uranus, is in Leo conjunct his Venus, and S.Node of Venus in his 10th. The ruler of his N.Node of Neptune is the Sun in Cancer in his 9th.

We can clearly see how this Soul has orientated in past lives leading into the current one towards 'religious' or psychological organizations that offered some sort of projected cosmology that offered some ultimate meaning to those who were attracted to it.

To see how a soul has been 'orientated' in recent past lives one of the key things we need to look at in the chart after Pluto is the lunar S.Node. Here we find it in Aquarius/3rd with Saturn conjunct it, and also Neptune squaring it. If a planet is squaring one lunar Node it will be squaring both, so with Neptune squaring the lunar Nodal axis we know that in recent past lives there have been major issues for this soul where both lunar nodes (Aquarius/3rd and Leo/9th) have been activated in prior lives, which has resulted in skipped steps of a Neptunian nature (religion or spirituality depending on evolutionary state). And with Neptune being in Scorpio these issues will also have had a deep psychological aspect to them.

Looking closer we can also see that the nodal axis of Neptune also lines up exactly with the lunar nodal axis - the S.Node of Neptune is conjunct the S.Node of the Moon and the N.Node of Neptune is conjunct the N.Node of the Moon, and so Neptune is also squaring it's own nodal axis as well as the lunar nodal axis. This shows us that the religious issues the Soul has been grappling with are not limited to recent past lives but are ancient, stemming back for thousands of years.

The ruler of this ancient and recent past symbolised by the S.Node of Neptune and S.Node of the Moon in Aquarius (social groups) is Uranus (personal unconscious), which is in Leo in the 10th house (of organisations), conjunct Venus (attraction/listening based on one's beliefs leading to "personal meaning"). And both Uranus and Venus are ruled by the Sun, which is in mutual reception with the Moon, both in the 9th house (cosmological/metaphysical viewpoints, beliefs and understanding).

Aquarius, Uranus and the 11th house also correlate with all kinds of projection.

So on a soul level Tom Cruise has been and still is attracted to social organisations (Pluto in 11th) that promise to support his pre-existing sense of personal meaning coming through into this life (S.Node of Venus in Leo conjunct current life Venus, in the 10th house) which is based on the projected cosmology (Pluto in 11th; Nep/Moon S.Nodes in Aquarius ruled by Uranus ruled by Sun/Moon in the 9th) offered by these organisations (10th), promising ultimate meaning (Neptune squaring it's own and the lunar nodes & Venus;  with Venus then ruling the 12th house cusp <of ultimate meaning>; plus Sagittarius <cosmology> is on the 2nd house cusp <of personal needs and listening leading to personal meaning> which in turn is ruled by Jupiter in Pisces <ultimate meaning> opposite Pluto (the Soul) which rules Neptune <the active seeking of ultimate meaning>).

We can see that such groups were typically 'different' or outside the mainstream of consensus religions

The groups this soul has been attracted to have been different or outside of the mainstream of consensus religions shown by Neptune squaring the lunar S.Node which is in Aquarius (uniqueness) with it's ruler Uranus being in the 10th (mainstream society). The Soul is attracted to these kinds of groups because it is attempting to have it's own difference and uniqueness mirrored to it through it's projections (Pluto in 11th house).

We can see that he has had positions of great authority within these, and that that authority in that context created a sense of fame: of being an icon to others

With Saturn conjunct the S.Nodes of both Neptune and the Moon the soul has obviously gravitated to being as substantial an authority as possible in all the religious systems it has been involved in.

And because Neptune is squaring both nodal axes this means the two N.Nodes in Leo have also been activated for a long time as well as the S.Nodes in Aquarius.

Given these positions of great religious authority in those past lives involving such a very strong Leo influence, and that influence now manifesting through the personal planets Moon and Venus at the peak of the chart ... it is extremely likely that in this life, accompanying this subconscious memory of past life authority, there is an intense desire to reactivate that authority to facilitate becoming again an idol/being very popular/rising to the top of the pyramid.

Additionally with Mars in the 7th house (conscious desires manifesting within relationships) being in a disseminating square (doing it my way) to the 10th house Venus (listening to myself and others, formulating then attracting what I need) and a last quarter square (before completion - wrapping up experience, extracting the essential before moving on) to the 10th house Uranus (stubborn adherence - otherwise innovation/change/rebellion if need be) ruling those S.Nodes conjunct Saturn (past authority in groups) ... the tendency would most likely be to sometimes resist anything being changed at all, while at others willfully projecting his own needs and desires (Venus and Mars) onto those he was in a relationship with (7th house, Venus and Mars).

Plus with Mars also semi-squaring (relinquishing personal focus) the Sun (the vital integrating sense of oneself and one's current purpose ... ruling all the 9th/10th house Moon and Neptune N.Nodes, Venus, Moon and Uranus) that intense desire would have been very developed, crystallized and fulfilled. And that this desire has actually made the soul famous in many lives is clearly evident in Neptune squaring the lunar and Neptune nodal axes - to the point where this soul's evolution has been very complicated by it's seeking of fame and power in a religious context ... rather than seeking spiritual truth (the grand trine of Neptune/Sun/Jupiter in Pisces) - and this is what has resulted in skipped steps.

We can also see that the actual reality of those organizations was/is very different that what the projected cosmology was offering by way of that serving as the 'hook' to attract it's followers. His natal Pluto, the ruler of his natal Neptune, is Mercury in Gemini in his 8th: duplicity is the underlying issue here.

The skipped steps that Neptune signifies (because of squaring it's own and the lunar nodal axes) involve using manipulation (Neptune in Scorpio) to attain that fame. With Pluto in Virgo in the 11th house ruling Neptune, the manipulation is done by presenting an "honest and humble" (Virgo) facade to the general public (11th), yet this couldn't be further from the truth (Pluto opposes Jupiter <truth>). However this was precisely the hook created by the religions he was involved in.

We can see that, with the ruler of that "honest" Pluto (Mercury) being in Gemini, it would have been highly likely there would have been two sides to the matter, certainly more than originally presented. Looking closer, we see this Mercury in Gemini (doubly emphasized duality) operating in the 8th house (of hidden motives). Possibility for things to not only become duplicated, but as well to get involved and also more intense - and then potentially murky as a result of that.

At the same time, Mercury is squaring (resisting) the Jupiter potential for truthfulness. Potential in the sense that Pluto (our deepest resistance to loss of consistency) is opposed to Jupiter, and is capable of repressing and/or distorting Jupiter's truth. With Mercury also squaring Jupiter, that potential repression of the truth becomes further anchored in the psyche and thus even more likely still.  

Additionally Mercury is trining (co-operating with) the long past of authority (Saturn conjunct both S.Nodes). From this final picture it's clear that - given the whole context involving the Neptune skipped steps as previously discussed - it's probably inevitable that dodgy, deceitful tactics would have been in play to a lessor or greater extent, by the religions this soul has been part of and the religious authority this soul itself has been, in so many prior lives.

thank you Rad

Hi Upasika,

Yes, your EA analysis is spot on, excellent. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us Upasika.

God Bless, Rad

All,

Ok, let' continue on with our discussion and understanding of the transiting Lunar Nodes that have shifted in Pisces/ Virgo. Because the S.Node has moved into Pisces we can also discuss the transit of Neptune itself.

We have learned that the transiting S.Lunar Nodes correlates the parts of our past, the past of this or other lives, that the Soul is accessing during the transit of the S.Lunar Node in the time frame that it takes to go through whatever house. We have learned that this past is always shaping and defining the nature of each current moment as that moment interfaces with the yet undefined future. That dynamic tension between the past and the evolutionary future is experienced by us all is each moment: the nature of the 'moment' is the exact intersection, interfacing, between the past and the future. The transiting N.Node correlates to archetypes/ dynamics that symbolize and reflect the nature of what the evolutionary forces are that correlate to the unfolding future.

We now discuss another core archetype that correlates with Pisces, Neptune, and the 12th House that the transit of the Lunar S.Node, and the transit of Neptune in general, applies too. And that is one of culmination. Culmination of existing dynamics/ archetypes that have manifested in the life of the Soul, it's individual context, that are part of it's existing reality, the past leading to the moment, that are no longer necessary for the Soul to keep in place in terms of it's ongoing evolutionary needs.

Any glass can hold only so much water. So too with the Soul. There can only be so much that is part of it's reality at any point in time because, of course, water can overflow from the glass. So that which necessarily needs to culminate in order for something new to begin will be symbolized by house that the transiting S.Node is moving through, aspects to this Node from natal planets, the location of the natal Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it, and the location of the S.Node of Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it.

This very same thing can occur where the transit of Neptune is as well: by house, sign, and aspects to it.

The transiting N.Node in Virgo will then correlate, because of it's specific pull to the evolutionary future of the Soul, to the psychological experience that that which had been holding 'meaning before, the transit of the S.Node, no longer holds that meaning. That which is necessarily ending can now feel empty, meaningless, the inner sense of being 'done' with whatever it is. This then requires a Virgo adjustment to be made relative to that which is ending relative to that which wants to evolve: that which is new. That which is new that requires the adjustment is then symbolized by the house that the N.Node transit it is, the location of it's natal planetary ruler and all the aspects to it from other natal planets, and the location of the N.Node of Mercury by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it.

The adjustments necessary thus require what concrete, practical, necessary steps must be taken by the Soul to bring into actual reality that which the 'promises' of the new can be: the 'promise' is Pisces, Neptune, and the 12th house archetypes relative to the actual or concrete reality that the archetypes of Virgo, Mercury, and the 6th house as archetypes can make happen.

This very same thing can occur where the transit of Neptune is as well: by house, sign, and aspects to it. And because it is Pisces now the natural polarity of Virgo applies in the very same was as does the N.Node of the Lunar Node in Virgo.

So now reflect on your own charts to objectify and understand these things. If you have any questions please ask them of me now before we move on.

God Bless, Rad

All,

We have just focused on how the Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House can correlate to where a Soul can project its ultimate sense of meaning for life with the resulting disillusionment that will come when that projection is anything other than the desire to know the Ultimate Source Of All Things, or when we realize that what we have projected as some kind of ultimate meaning upon something is, in actual reality, nothing but an illusion or delusion.

One of the archetypal dimensions of the Neptune archetype, because it is about the Ultimate Source of All Things, is rooted in the fact that that Source can inwardly induce within the consciousness of the individual Soul impulses manifesting as thoughts that leads to desires to act upon, actualize, those impulses. These impulses are linked with the ongoing evolutionary journey of each Soul, and these impulses, if acted upon, are one of the ways that a Soul can 'spiritualize' their lives: to align it with this sense of being inwardly directed by a higher 'Source'.

This spiritualization occurs OF ITSELF if acted upon. In other words, any given Soul may not even have the language of the Source Of All Things, a religion or philosophy, within their consciousness. Yet, if acted upon, because these impulses are being ignited by the Source a NATURAL spiritualization process will occur: a natural expansion of consciousness.  Thus, this can manifest in any of the four natural evolutionary states of the Soul.

These impulses will be linked with the natal placement of Neptune by house and sign, and the aspects to the other planets that it makes: the archetypes of those planets and houses. These impulses also manifest relative to the South and North Nodes of Neptune by their own house, sign, and aspects to them. These impulses will also manifest via the 12th House, and the location of the sign Pisces in the birth chart which then refers back to the natal house location of Neptune: the natural planetary ruler of Pisces.

These impulses, anatomically speaking, manifest from pineal gland deep within the brain by way of a hormone called melatonin. The neurotransmitters within the brain carries these impulses to the right and left brain hemispheres that originally manifest as a deep inner 'whisper' within the consciousness of the individualized Soul, whispers that reflect and contain the 'messages' of the impulses themselves. These whispers at first manifest within the right brain kind of like a big sign way in the distance that will progressively become ever closer IF the Soul pays attention to it.  On that sign will be some sort of message, like on a billboard, that symbolizes the very nature of the original impulses themselves.

So, for example, on a billboard there could be sign that symbolizes movies. In time that sign will manifest as messages by way of the left brain that would then translate, for example, into the IDEA of being a film maker. The left brain will then begin to analyze and figure out how to make that idea a reality: from a to z, so to speak.

If the Soul does indeed desire to act upon these original impulses of Neptune, etc., in this natural way, then a natural spiritualization of the Soul's consciousness, an inner expansion, will occur because, after all, these impulses are being induced by the Source Of All Things. So to act upon them is to move in the direction of that Source in ways that are natural to each Soul.

The transit of the Lunar S.Node in Pisces by house, and the aspects to it, the natal Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it, and the S.Node of Neptune by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it will correlate to how the Source Of All Things can stimulate the creation of these 'whispers' within the interior of the consciousness of the Soul that repeat themselves, and/ or what appears to be repeating messages in the external environment, that correlate with 'directions' from on high that allow the Soul to heal pre-existing dynamics and conditions in it's life, to evolve existing dynamics and conditions in new and expanded ways, or to become aware of something brand new that will allow the Soul to expand and evolve if acted upon.

By acting upon these 'whispers' from the Source Of All things then requires necessary adjustments to our existing reality: the transiting North Lunar Node of Virgo by house, sign, and aspects to it, the location of natal Mercury by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it, and the location of the N.Node of Mercury by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it. By make the necessary adjustments the Soul is then improving itself. By improving itself in these natural growth ways the Soul can then help others improve themselves in some way.

The transiting North Lunar Node of the Moon in Virgo, by house and aspects to it, the natal Mercury, and the N.Node of Mercury by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it can also correlate to where and how the Soul finds 'reasons', excuses, not to evolve and grow in the way that these repeating messages from on high, the Source Of All Things, correlate too. In essence, when this happens, the Soul is then undermining itself. As an EA astrologer it then becomes necessary to know and understand what the reasons are that the Soul is doing such a thing for.

It is important to remember that these messages from the Source Of All Things, if truly from that Source, will REPEAT THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER in order to get the attention of the Soul. We all have the S.Node of Neptune in Aquarius. Uranus, Aquarius, and the 11th House all correlate to the individuated unconscious is all of us. The Source Of All Things 'communicates' Itself within our Souls that peculates up into our conscious awareness, the Moon and Saturn, via our individuated unconscious. As such the messages from the Source Of All Things will repeat, Uranus, Aquarius, the 11th House, themselves so that the egocentric structure of the consciousness of the Soul can tune into them, and, hopefully, act upon them.  

So allow yourselves to reflect on your own birth charts now in this way. Know how this natural process works in your own lives so that you can help others understand theirs.

If you have any questions please ask them of me now.

All,

At this point I thought it would be good to make another example of all that we have been discussing to this point in our understanding and application of the transiting Lunar Nodes, and the transit of Neptune. Of course this can also include transiting planets in aspect to natal Neptune as well as transiting planets moving through the 12th House, in aspect to the natal Neptune Nodal Axis, and in aspect to planets in the natal 12th House in terms of understanding the total picture of the Neptune, Pisces, and 12th House archetypes given that we are now focusing on the fact the the transiting Lunar Nodes has just shifted to Pisces and Virgo.

The example will be the founder of Evolutionary Astrology itself: JWG. Some of you are aware that the entire 'idea' of EA came to him in a dream one night in which the entire first book on Pluto was given to him. The whole book in one dream. This dream took place shortly after he had begun to read the book called Autobiography Of A Yogi by Yogananda. Yogananda's teacher or guru was a Soul named Yukestwar who  was also a 'galactic astrologer'. The dream was actually caused by Yukestwar. The dream was all in Sanskrit which JWG often dreamed in and understood perfectly in the dreams: as well as other languages. You will notice in his birth chart that his S.Node of Neptune is in the 3rd House in Aquarius. Thus, in his context, this is the symbol of dreaming in other languages. The ruler of his Lunar Node is Jupiter in his 12th House as well that squares his Neptune Nodal Axis.

In any case on the night that he had this dream the transit of Pluto was conjunct his natal Neptune in his 11th, trine his S.Node of Neptune in his 3rd, and sextile his N.Node of Neptune in the 9th. The transiting S.Lunar Node of the Moon was in Aries in his 6th, karma yoga, that then refers to his natal 2nd House Mars in Sagittarius. That Mars is conjunct the S.Node of Uranus which was receiving the transiting Neptune at that time. That Neptune was also trine his natal Pluto and Saturn, sextile the natal Neptune, square in Moon in Pisces in the 4th. That Moon was then receiving a sextile from the transiting Mars itself that was in Taurus. The transiting S.Node of Mars was also directly conjunct the natal Neptune that was, again receiving the transiting Pluto. The transiting S.Node of Mars was thus also making the trine to his S.Node of Neptune, sextiling the N.Node of Neptune. And you are reading this now as the transiting Mars is exactly conjunct his natal Neptune right now.

The transiting N.Node of the Moon was in Libra in his 12th House that then referred to his natal Venus in Scorpio in his 1st yet conjunct his natal 12th House Jupiter. His natal Venus is also conjunct his N.Node of Venus in his 1st. The transiting North of the Moon  was forming as exact transiting trine to his natal Uranus in the 8th house, and sextilling his natal Mars in his 2nd which is in opposition to this natal Uranus. This Uranus was being transited by Jupiter which is, again the ruler of his Lunar S.Node. The transiting Venus when the dream manifested was in Taurus in his 7th, in opposition to his natal Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, the N.Node of Venus, and squaring his M.C. and I.C.

Once he had this dream he began to lecture, to put it into the astrology world, immediately. And, yes, there was much opposition to him and this revolutionary form of astrology that he founded called Evolutionary Astrology by the existing powers that be. Yet wherever he went in the world with this lecture the lecture halls were always packed. And to this day it continues to spread around the world. With the S.Node of his Neptune in mind consider that the first book on Pluto has been put into, at various points, Chinese, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Bosnian, and English.

As you look at the charts you will see other connections as well.

If you have any questions and/ or observations that you would like to share please do so now before we continue on.

God Bless, Rad

This is really interesting to see the dream itself and the exact aspects to JWG's chart.
Providence it seems.
In addition to those transits Rad mentioned (Pluto on Neptune, Neptune on SN) I thought the (second) Saturn return across Pluto (and asteroid Urania, I believe?) has the gravitas of a dharma seal.
The dream itself, which seems to come through during Bramha Muhurta, has Kassandra interestingly in a wide conjunction in late Aries linking SN in Aries to Chiron and its own SN in Taurus all in the 11th- as an indicator for not being believed or persecuted for that wisdom. Kassandra also in JWG's chart (conjunct Vesta) squaring the Nodes i.e. SN resolution..And, if it couldn't get better, Pallas Athene transiting 8' of Virgo across JWG's natal Lucifer in the 10th.. squaring the nodes and resolving through the North.
For reasons I was never quite clear about (since I was a child, also until now) I always felt a seraph influence from her, though not in the strictest Judeo-Christian sense. Referred to as the 'goddess of nearness' and 'protectress of heroes' she lifts the spirits of those fighting the good fight. Whether she reminded Lucifer to be the 'light bringer', or that he was once close to God and to step aside and let the idea pass and be born through (NN), or whether he was backed up with a spear to the neck.. that  is  an  angel.
Hm.

Hi All,

Rad, thank you for sharing this wonderful illustration of the power of EA. This is a perfect example of how those WHISPERS from eternity became so loud and clear. The timing for such an entrance of this invaluable work was divinely induced and clearly destined to be ~ lucky us ~ and thank you Yukestwar.

I remember Jeffrey used to talk about how EA would continue to blow him away as he observed the world around him, as well as when the teachings would personally 'hit home'. He was forever amazed and humbled by the precision of this incredible work.

He referred to himself as nothing more than God's 'errand boy', North Node in Gemini in the 7th conjunct Uranus in the 8th, ruler Mercury station direct in Scorpio in the 1st, conjunct the Ascendant and Jupiter in the 12th. The very last thing he ever wanted anyone to do was to put him up on a pedestal. He wanted none of the credit or the glory. It was enough to know that people were waking up to these teachings and making the effort to see the truth so they can heal.

I am reminded again of how EA unveils the truth at every turn, not only when observing the remarkable timing of the dream in Jeffrey's chart, but as I applied the current transits that are in place when this information was revealed and shared.

The day Rad posted on the founder, transiting Mars was in Libra, EXACTLY conjunct Jeffrey's Neptune in the 11th, Mars being the activation point, giving energy to anything it contacts. In this case it awakened, 11th house, this download of the dream, for us all to glean from these teachings, and to learn of the power of timing and divine influence.

Transiting Mars is conjunct Jeffrey's Neptune in Libra and currently together they are forming a Grand Trine, to his North Node in Gemini in the 7th, and his South Node of Neptune in Aquarius in the 3rd, the ruler Uranus also in Gemini in the 8th house, the house of Soul.

Transiting Mars is also sextile the North Node of Neptune in the 9th in Leo, which is conjunct his Pluto, the chart ruler. The ruler for transiting Mars in Libra, Venus Rx in Scorpio, trines transiting Chiron, which is also conjunct his Moon in Pisces. The ruler of his Venus Rx in Scorpio, is Pluto in the 9th with Saturn and conjunct the NN of Neptune in Leo, reflecting the teachings as they continue to be disseminated internationally, all around the world, in many languages.

The transiting South Node in Pisces in his 5th, is ruled by his natal Neptune in the 11th, soul astrology downloaded through dream, which is now being activated by that Mars. The transiting ruler of the South Node is Neptune in Pisces in the 4th and inconjunct the tr Mars and his natal Neptune.

Transiting North Node in Virgo, is in his 10th house, the ruler Mercury, is in Sagittarius, teacher of natural laws, and is conjunct Jeffrey's South Node, Sun and natal Mars in Sagittarius, truly a teacher of the ages.

A swell of great fortune it is that I feel to be connected to this sacred work, and to be able to share in the joy of discovery with all of you.

Thanks again Rad for keeping the EA engine oiled..

Peace,
Kristin
