On July 16
at 11:22:52 UT, the Sun [23cn52] will square the Mean Node [23li52]. This is a
phenomena known as “Moon Wobble”. While it is exact on July 16, 2014 it may be felt
for approximately a week on either side.
Moon Wobbles were discovered in the 1930's, when
research by astrologer Carl Payne Tobey (1902-1980), the original editor of
Astrology Magazine, revealed that disasters occur in cycles associated with the
conjunction (0°), opposition (180°) and square (90°) from the Sun to the Moon's
Node. These powerful contacts occur when the Sun and the Node are in the same
sign, or the opposing sign, or when the Sun is in a square aspect to the nodal
axis.[1]
During Moon Wobble the instability factor is high,
resulting in more accidents, fires, plane crashes, freak accidents, floods,
feats of nature, bizarre weather patterns, earthquakes, tornadoes, violence,
Terrorism, riots, and political and personal upheavals. These Cycles bring
suppressed energies in people and Mother Nature to the surface, erupting and
disrupting. [2]
Moon Wobbles are potent archetypal gifts to identify experiential and existential tension. Use this jolt of joy wisely for accelerated evolution, participation in Cosmic Intention, and transcendance of the endless lunar cycle.
Thane Walker, metaphysician and astrologer, taught
an ontological meditation wherein the Sun symbolizes the essential self
("figuratively speaking") and the Moon reflects an endlessly changing
principle. An endlessly cycling wheel of fortune of temporal, mortal flesh,
birth, fruition and decay. The Moon goes out into the lifeworld and soaks up
its little taste of experience, then offers this chunk of sense testimony to
the Sun for processing. The nodal axis crystallizes the relationship between
Sun and Moon to reflect that sphere of life in which the coniunctio - the inner
blending of the two principles - is most likely to manifest. An androgynous
coitus between a changing, receptive principle and a constant, radiant
principle. Remember, if you are not working through your subconscious issues
you are more likely to fall prey to your emotions. [3]
What Walker did not add was
that if we have been working on ourselves then this is an opportunity for “spiritual
release” from patterns of behaviour that we have now outgrown as in the example
of Pope Benedict’s resignation [4].
Some other
points that need to be mentioned in connection with this particular Moon Wobble
are as follows. Note that the Sun is in Cancer – the sign of mothers and
nurturing – conjunct the TNO Varuna . Ceres and Vesta conjoin the North Node.
We had
discussed this combination in a previous post “Chinese parents abandon disabled
children” [5] so that the following
extract is relevant here:
Ceres/Vesta: A detached attitude or emotional
distancing in mother-child relationships; parental abandonment or rejection.
Philip
Sedgwick in his book “Soul of the Sky” describes Varuna in the following words:
This comes from the blending of Cancer (North node)
and Aries (perihelion). Such a combination reflects the urge for self-nurturing
at the most fundamental level. One must make personal care the utmost priority.
Feeding the self on all levels of real world reality (food, drink, feeling,
love) supports the spirit in self-realization to the extent that it may assert
itself into the flow of the cosmic waters. Participation on the planet becomes
an important task, but follows proper personal sustenance.
This reminds me of a conversation I heard in a
bathroom in San Francisco
years ago. One man said to another, “First you work on yourself, then you work
on the world. When you get tired, you pull back and take care of yourself
again. Then, you have more to give back to the planet again.”
