Dewdrops on a line - hidden strands of meaning
What makes
astrology supremely relevant is that it discloses an unsuspected dimension of
the world we think we know so well. It is as though we have become accustomed
to see only the horizontal yarn of the weaving, the weft, and are largely
unaware of the warp. We are accustomed to break down our world, in order to
understand it, into certain categories, recognizing what belongs to this
category, what belongs to that. That is ‘scientific’. However, astrology is
about learning to think in new categories. It embodies a system of new
categories that are as different from the ones to which we are habituated, as
the warp is from the weft. In this system objects and events that at first
sight appear to have nothing whatever to do with each other are shown to be
intimately connected. Conversely, things we naturally tend to associate may be
distributed otherwise in the astrological scheme. Understanding the world around
us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning, to make the right
connections, recognize what belongs with what. It is not easy. Unaided, it is
as if we are looking at the weaving from the wrong side, and it seems a mess,
but with the help of astrology we can see the design as it is meant to be. As
the shuttle of the cosmic loom ceaselessly weaves its intricate design,
astrologers have the responsibility, or rather the awesome privilege, to work
towards restoring to humanity the sense of high meaning it has all but lost.”

In this
post I attempt to discover the hidden
strands of meaning in the lunar eclipse of 28th Nov. In order to
make sense of a series of events that I attributed to this eclipse I reproduce
below extracts from recent posts. Readers are urged to read the original posts
in full to better understand the conclusions that I draw here.
A stirring-up of individual longings
that fill poignant and often unconscious
needs- needs that often ignore collective purpose or dictates
of reason and can turn asocial if not
antisocial and are, therefore, blocked or frowned upon by society. What is
implied is a challenge to EMOTIONAL REBIRTH.
On November 9, 2012 David Petraeus
resigned as Director of the CIA after admitting having a sexual relationship
with his biographer. The lunar eclipse at 6ge with its Yod was prominently
placed at Washington with Venus-Saturn on the
MC exactly like in the Bogota
incident.

The lunar eclipse of 28th November
at 6ge47 [along with Black Moon Lilith 8ge29] was conjunct the star Prima
Hyadum of Hyades– a constellation that has been associated a ‘stormy’ nature, a “staggering increase in
sexual urges , a dissolute life, excessive and licentious ways”. The eclipse of 28th November formed a Yod with
Black Moon Lilith at the apex along with the Moon. Lilith is essentially about
the need to live out our passions or face unpleasant consequences if we ignore
them or keep them repressed…We will look at two recent events in which this eclipse was active (a) the
Newtown school massacre (b) the rape of a Delhi student

Eclipse. http://bit.ly/WlUW3E
It has been linked to “ tears,
sudden events, violence, fierceness, wounds or injuries to the head by
instruments, weapons”
(A warning is contained here that
harsh rules of our so called civilized society need to be relaxed…otherwise we
should be ready to face consequences.)
…the eclipse is really going after
eroding bridges, tunnels etc.

(Infrastructures collapsing is a
hint that not all is well with our ‘artificial’ ways of living)
psychological trauma has produced
lasting fears, feelings of inadequacy, caution, astrong need to
"prove" one's abilities, and a tendency to overcompensate. Watch too
for times when people "run off" (or handle) their feelings by working
hard, feeling too responsible, and being overly efficient.

Brooding and resentful, in some
cases they may be persecuted (or persecuting) sometimes leading to ferocity and
violence.
‘Stormy’ Hyades & the SBI
Kolkata incident. http://bit.ly/Vrp4um
(In both these cases we need to
recognize that ‘saturnian’ rules that
require one to work hard, be super
efficient are meaningless if we can’t even take a practical joke.)
Hyades..Pliny wrote of them as being
"a violent and troublesome star group causing stormsand tempests raging
both on land and sea.

(Here primal forces of nature are
hitting back because we do not recognize that the present lifestyle is no
longer truly nurturing)
The Chinese Book of Rites advised
kings that they should be kind to their subjects at this time of the
year, order officers to allow the poor access to the grain stores and in
general bestow favours and benefactions upon his people symbolically participating
in the expansive forces which sprang from the principle of spring. A star
[8sg36] on the left foot of Ophiuchus which formed a part of Fa was about shortening
prison sentences and releasing prisoners. [The Yod described above is
bringing about the recognition of Palestine by the UN -
a step in the direction of release of prisoners which the Palestinians
surrounded by Israel
on all sides had become].

(Here we have the rulers (Israel ) vs the prisoners (Palestine )…symbolically represent the battle between
the kingly mind or reason vs the primal
self…the lower instincts which the mind is forever trying to control. The
message of the eclipse is be kind to the lower self…release it from its
prison.)
P.S.
The lunar
eclipse of 28th Nov. at 6ge47 was in the vedic lunar mansion of ‘Krittika’. Dennis
Harness in his ‘The Nakshatras’ writes, “The primary motivation of Krittika is ‘kama ’ or desire. A child-like nature may be observed [is required] here. A major lesson in this lunar mansion is the discipline over one’s desire
nature and yet finding pleasurable activities that are truly healing and
revitalizing. The shadow side of Krittika is a stubborn aggressive nature…destructive
tendencies…issues with anger…illicit relationships.”
