Winter Ingress Yod activates ‘Sequestration’





Sequestration is a fiscal policy procedure adopted by Congress to deal with the federal budget deficit. It generates automatic cuts for each of nine years, FY 13-21, totalling $1.2 trillion. Sequestration was originally scheduled to take effect on Jan. 2, 2013. However, it was delayed for two months - until March 1, 2013, by the deal struck on New Year's Eve, called the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Now, without Congressional action to prevent sequestration, the first round of cuts will take place on March 1, 2013. http://bit.ly/IapHZ0

In the post on the fiscal cliff  we had looked at how the Yod of the Nov. 28 eclipse indicated that the  US is more likely than not to go over the ‘fiscal cliff’.  In the same post I had mentioned that the Cap Ingress chart which has a Yod – with Jupiter at the apex of a Saturn-Pluto sextile - indicated much the same thing. On Jan 1, the politicians succeeded in kicking the can down the road and now the progressed cap Ingress chart shows the same crisis brewing for Mar 1 with the Yod activated by the meridian axis.

The significance  of the Yod was explained by  Nick Fiorenza in the Lunar Planner:

One of special significance is the Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter Yod that began to form in the previous November 13, 2012 lunar cycle, now with Venus activating the Yod as she moves to the midpoint of the Saturn-Pluto sextile and lies opposite Jupiter—activating the prominent Antares-Aldebaran axis.

Venus moves to the Saturn-Pluto mid-point conjoining Antares in mid-sidereal Scorpio in opposition to Jupiter. Generally, a Venus-Jupiter opposition can impel an over-confident over-indulgence and a desire for immediate gratification. Thus it is important to realize that band-aids used for immediate results do not provide real solution, neither in our external world paradigm or in our personal lives where a deep level of healing and evolution is required—something that unfolds in our continuing evolutionary spiral through time. In addition and as a part of this Yod, it is also important to realize that the Yod itself (nor the Solstice) is not some magical gateway that changes the world and our lives in an instant. Saturn’s influence requires steadfast persistence to build, albeit from a new place of compassion, wisdom and balance in mid-sidereal Libra (with the feminine influence of Venus). Pluto’s influence in Sag is one of holding long-term vision to pierce the veils of illusion and the false beliefs we adhere to (with Mars’ masculine influence of audacious action in leadership and which requires a serious redefining of how we use power on Earth).

Venus,  lying at the Saturn-Pluto mid-point, is semi-sextile to both planets, the other inconjunct quality. In this case, the Yod apex draws Venus along with Saturn and Pluto into an expression through Jupiter. Venus, lying opposite Jupiter-Aldebaran conjoins Antares, Heart of the Scorpion, in mid-sidereal Scorpio.

Antares, the 15th brightest star, is about 700 times the size of our Sun, and is one of the largest stars. It is quite elongated with a polar diameter about 63% of its equatorial diameter, red in color, said to rival Mars in brightness when they are seen together.

In classical astrology, Antares is the star of war and weaponry, and with expounded meaning, to challenge the established opposing politics (an arena common to the Antares / Aldebaran axis) with tenacious adamancy. This is especially in regard to taking a stand against the established conditions of our personal lives and against the established order or authority directing our lives when those conditions or that authority are no longer in our best interest nor supporting our evolutionary freedom and fulfillment.

However, It is only the less aware who mistake this power point in the ecliptic to mean fight or destroy what one still perceives as forces outside of self. Antares marks a point of empowerment in sidereal Scorpio, a point of immanation for those who have embraced their initiations and claimed their self-empowerment, who have graduated from playing the victim in life to a predetermined fate, and who have learned to take responsibility to create their destiny. The Heart of the Scorpion teaches us to realize the inseparable nature of life, to reconcile the forces within and without, to know of the oneness and inseparable permeability of the Creation Force—as is exemplified by Ophiuchus, who demonstrably stands over the Scorpion, the exemplar of this wisdom. Either way, Antares motivates us to take responsibility for our reality, for the lives we create, and to "take a stand" for our truth and to demonstrably and passionately live it.
