Weak Points in Lunar Cycles

And, now, for something completely different.

Leaving outer planets and finances behind, one important topic is that of weak points in the lunar cycles.  I’m tempted to borrow from Ancient Wayne Dyer scrolls and call them “erroneous zones.”  Or, “gaf points.”  Or, “FU points.”  Or….

That said, what are they?  They are points that the Moon crosses “about” every 28 days that are times of difficulty.  Because the Moon moves so quickly, they are easily identified.  (Trickier is a peek at the annual version.  For example, do you get a gaf point whenever the moon inconjuncts the Sun in Leo?)

Gaf points, as I will call them, are best discovered empirically.  Some are hidden, and may not be related to anything obvious.  Nevertheless, if you ALWAYS have problems at 15 Taurus, then that is almost certainly a Gaf point for you.

In my experience, Gaf points are related to a particular decan of a sign.  For those unfamiliar, each sign contains thirty (30) degrees of “arc” (part of a circle).  Each sign, in turn, has three decan of ten (10) degrees each.  My experience has been that, when the Moon is in
some particular decan, you will experience difficulties.

In practice, the Moon square or quincunx (inconjunct) certain natal planets will do the trick.  Moon square natal Neptune can be downright deadly to some people.  It brings confusion that can kill in a resulting automobile accident, especially if any Uranian activity is at play.

Moon square Mars and Moon square Pluto can bring problems, too.  I generally dislike Moon in Capricorn.  The ancients didn’t like it, either (Moon in Detriment).  My experience is that it is all about delays, delays, and delays.  It is a bit like a “mini Mercury Retrograde” each month.

Moon in Cap in a birth chart is difficult to interpret.  Some say that can result in great leaders.  Others claim it leads to sociopathic tendencies.   Whatever the case,  those with natal Moon in Cap process emotions a little differently from the rest of us.

Moon in the Twelfth House is particularly nasty because the bad effect appears “good.”  Keep in mind that the Twelfth is associated with “self-undoing” and hidden enemies.

All of this varies from person to person.  A brilliant musician with a very “Neptunian” personality may actually thrive with Moon in the Twelfth.  Moon in Cap COULD be related with great leaders.  (Someone please find me one.  The closet I could come was martyr Rachel Corrie.)

Regardless of the outer planet activity and financial fluctuations, you need to “know thyself.”  (And, “thy Gaf Points.”)

Federalist Papers and Aquarius Papers

Today, I read an interesting piece called “Happy Birthday to the United States of America – Or is it?”

Very interesting article, and more interesting comments. I suppose I must start by saying that I completely disagree with ANY notion that the Articles of Confederation was the birth, regardless of sign. Specifically, it was the death of the Articles of Confederation (a model that could not work) that led to the Constitution (a model that could work).

(Please read The Federalist Papers if you have any doubt.)

A commentator to this article, Chris, comes AWFULLY close to the real turning point. He mentions ratification of the 13th Amendment as a possibility for the “real” birthdate. Very, very close.

At this point, we must consider that, in a sense, the nation “died” with the first shot fired at the Battle of Fort Sumter, and a “preganancy” began at the surrender at Appamattox.  (Note that both are Aries dates that loosely square the July 4, 1776 date.)

But, the key point would be the ratification of the 14th Amendment, specifically “the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” That is the glue that holds together MUCH of modern law.

That date is July 9, 1868 (which makes the “new” nation a Cancerian, too.)  Apparently all of the “Reconstruction Amendments” were ratified that day.

The current version of Wikipedia describes the Reconstruction Amendments as “perhaps the most significant structural change to the Constitution since the passage of the United States Bill of Rights.”

The Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment means:
(1) if someone from “out of state” in their car hits your car, then (in most states) the “long arm statute” provides (usually) that you can assert jurisdiction “to the full extent of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment.”  Ditto for any similar kind of incident.  (Not just an auto crash.)

[But, this blog isn't to be construed as legal advice nor is it a substitute of any kind for legal advice from a competent attorney practicing in your jurisdiction.  Consult them if you have an actual question about any legal questions that may or may not apply to you or anyone to whom this or related questions or issues may apply.]

(2) Due Process Clause of the 14th extends to the states the protection of the 5th that you cannot be deprived of “life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness” without due process (a hearing, often a trial).

The real point of Due Process is to make certain EVERYone is given notice and a hearing as part of legal action.  (Of course, for the “Equal Protection clause” is just as important.)

Maybe the problem here is the “old” (Piscean?) astrological notion of picking a SINGLE date to represent an entity.  That was essential in an age before computers, but with (Aquarian Age) tools like Bernadette Brady’s Jigsaw, we can COMBINE multiple dates to produce a new kind of (more sophisticated) analysis….

Then we could include “the Switch in Time That Saved Nine,” which was probably the defining moment for the post-FDR Supreme Court….

Uranus Retrograde 2008, Mugabe, and Zimbabwe

Mugabe and Uranus

Initially overlooked, but important on a global scale, would be the ongoing events in Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe. Robert Gabriel Mugabe (born February 21, 1924) is the President of Zimbabwe. Given that the Uranus Retrograde of this year occurs on June 25th of 2008, Mr. Mugabe is a little past eighty-four (84) years of age at the time of the retrograde. I’ll base my analysis on the chart calculated by Marjorie Orr. I recommend reading her article, as well.

Recall my article “Seven Years Bad Luck.” Recall my proposal that the Houses of Uranus are probably a better model for seven year events if they have some element of an “accident” or “surprise” (whetherbad luck or otherwise). I also mentioned that Uranus had roughly an eighty-four year cycle (approximately three Saturn cycles as well).

Mr. Mugabe, then is experiencing a period of life associated with the third Saturn return as well as his recent Uranus return.  Few of us experience this, so the effects aren’t well documented. Conjectures can be made. I’ll offer a few.

First of all, Uranus (last) touched the place of Mr. Mugabe’s birth “about” April 9th or 10th of 2007. The current retrograde will only make it back to 18-44 of Pisces; Mugabe’s birth cart (per this source) shows Uranus at 16-36.

Uranus is important to Mr. Mugabe for many reasons. Uranus is conjunct his natal Sun, and this makes him a source of rebellion and change. His name was associated with “modern Africa” for quite some time. Uranus Square Jupiter (In Sadge, no less!) means that (despite his early hardships) he has been INCREDIBLY lucky. Sadge (like Chiron, both represented by the Centaur) is about Universities, Education, and learning. Mr. Mugabe holds multiple degrees and appears to be well-educated.

Uranus is also square Mars (which is near the “amplifier” of Jupiter). Mars is about vigor and masculinity, in one sense, but it is also the “God of War” being about war and violence in another sense. Notice also, that Uranus returned April 9th to 10th of 2007. Saturn, likewise, returned in Retrograde about April 7th to 8th of this year. Both of these dates are in Aries, the sign associated with Mars and War. (These aren’t the ONLY points of return, but they catch my eye.)

April 9, 2007 was primarily characterized by Sun (Aries) trine Jupiter (Sadge). Jupiter was near its return point, and (greatly) strengthened by the trine of the Sun. Later, on April 10th, Mercury (thoughts, ideas, communication, & transportation) squared Pluto (intelligence agencies, secrets, secret police, assassinations). This return appears to have given Mr. Mugabe “the upper hand” in any conflicts. If anyone even THOUGHT about bringing harm to Mr. Mugabe, his organization knew far ahead of time.

April 8, 2008 was characterized by a Grand Trine in Earth that formed a Kite with Uranus! Kites, too, are considered very “lucky.”

The previous two events had Sun in Aries. The Uranus Retrograde Station of 2008 will have Moon in Aries. Friday will include one of Jim Shawvan’s “opportunity periods” that starts with a Jupiter Square (more luck) and includes a Grand Trine in Fire. (Grand Fire Trines are primarily about powerful leadership, though sometimes they can be associated with violence.)

Regardless of what you think of Mr. Mugabe, he has an incredible amount of luck on his side. To be sure, he “built” some of this luck through his own hard work and education. But, at this point in his life, he has Jupiter (luck), Mars (war), and Uranus (surprises) on his side in any conflict, whether of words or otherwise.

This retrograde period may contain “surprises” for him, but they will tend to favor him. Of course, the biggest “surprise” would be if he passed away, which is entirely possible for someone who is eighty four years of age. But, don’t expect it. Instead, expect him to continue as resilient as ever.

(I know many people will not like what I have just written, but I make my best effort to be NEUTRAL in my forecasts and just read the aspects that I see. YMMV)
