A civil disobedience pro-democracy movement aiming
to paralyse parts of Hong Kong with a massive
sit-in has issued its demands. Occupy Central says it wants the Chinese
government to scrap rules outlining the election of the next chief executive in
2017. It also wants the resumption of public consultation on democratic
reforms. Thousands of protesters are camped outside government headquarters in
central Hong Kong . Occupy Central leader Benny
Tai announced the launch of the campaign to the cheers of supporters on
Saturday (Sept.27). BBC
We are now
in the shadow of a powerful Lunar Eclipse about to take place on October 8. In Hong Kong the eclipse Moon is placed in 12th house
that deals with “human rights” [1]
The eclipse
Moon is conjunct Uranus. The Uranus-Full Moon conjoining stars include Alderamin
of Cepheus and Alpheratz of Andromeda
[2]. Uranus reveals where and how we wish
to break from the conformity of the past.
Alderamin, the Alpha star of Cepheus, is the right
shoulder of King Cepheus, father of the Royal Family and Princess Andromeda,
often portraying one in an authoritative position. Alderamin imparts a quality
of authoritative responsibility. With afflicted alignments, Alderamin can
expresses as denial, avoidance, or turning one's head from dealing with the
manipulative power plays causing our or other people's entrapment with a
flippant attitude to do anything about them.
Alpheratz is one of four stars of the Great Square
of Pegasus and is part of Andromeda and Pegasus both. As Alpha Andromeda, it is
the head (psyche) of the princess in chains. Although the stage setting in
which Andromeda is trapped (chained to rocks about to be devoured by Cetus)
seems complex, there is a prerequisite for her freedom—an inner metamorphosis,
an emotional maturing into the readiness to receive aid. Often time, we are
ready to change only when in the chains of the human struggle. And our inner
readiness precedes receiving support to change. Forceful attempts to break free
before we are ready only tighten the chain of bondage. Here lies our need to
break free from the human mold, from the genetic, cultural, and personal
pattering forming our lives. The stars of Andromeda articulate the struggle for
freedom from the collective and tormenting forces of the psycho-emotional human
world, to claim our true galactic birthright and evolutionary destiny.
Alpheratz's fortuitous position ultimately brings success and reward in this
worthy pursuit.
Alignments with Alpheratz can also express as being
caught in the power plays created by the arrogance or denials of others.
Alpheratz can also indicate our vulnerability to the emotional and psychic
delusions of others, especially those in our genealogical line or karmic
past—often manifesting as elaborate emotional dramatics. Alpheratz asks us to
get un-entangled from the human psycho-emotional drama, or accept a sentence of
bondage not rightfully ours. [3]
In our
context, Alderamin of King Cepheus is an obvious reference to the Chinese
leadership while Alpheratz of the Princess Andromeda is the populace of
Hongkong demanding their freedom.
In this
post we will use the concept of Converse
Progressions. Readers unfamiliar with the subject are referred to
Reference [4]. Using solar quotidian (daily angles) converse progression on the
eclipse chart we can see the Grand Cross containing the eclipse axis aligns with
the angles on September 27 when Occupy Central leader Benny Tai announced the
launch of the campaign.
Uranus-Pluto in the Grand Cross symbolizes the archetypal clash:
courageous/warrior-like actions of individuals on behalf of the people's
liberties (Uranus in Aries) vs. an intensification/consolidation of power by
institutional structures facing threats to their authority (Pluto in
Capricorn).
