Nick
Fiorenza’s [1] commentary for this Lunar Month's Theme is entitled “Clarifying
Motive”. The New Moon of Jan. 20
is conjunct stars in the constellation
of Aquila the Eagle – a symbol for powerful
military powers – and Vulpecula, the sly fox so that covert motives and secret
manipulation by military powers can be expected. Nick Fiorenza writes that the New Moon occurs in an area of the
zodiac “that articulates a diversely-intented group of individuals and
associated levels of consciousness, those either covert, manipulative and
driven from self-interest (as the character of the old business & military
paradigms) and those spiritually aware and of integrity”.
It appears
from press reports that while Merkel and
Hollande were earnestly endeavouring to find a peaceful way out of the impasse ,
Washington has an agenda for war in Ukraine .
As Merkel
lands in Washington ,
the Moon is in its waning Gibbous Phase. Shown here is a chart for this phase
at Washington .
Notice the powerful Grand Cross on the angles with the Moon [4li] on the
Ascendant. Here the Uranus-Pluto square refers to a rupture between friends (Europe
and US). The Moon conjoins Zaniah of
Virgo. Virgo is also portrayed as Justice (Justitia) or Dike holding the scales
of Libra. Aratus says about Virgo:
Her men called Justice (Dike); but she assembling
the elders, it might be in the market-place or in the wide-wayed streets,
uttered her voice, ever urging on them judgments kinder to the people. Not yet
in that age had men knowledge of hateful strife, or carping contention, or din
of battle, but a simple life they lived.
From Aratus’
commentary on Virgo we can see that she is associated with peace and strenuously opposed
to war. The Sabian symbol for the Sun [20aq] confirms the role Merkel is playing.
Phase 320 (Aquarius 20): A Large
White Dove Bearing a Message.
Before we
end, Nick Fiorenza’s commentary on the star Tejat that is conjunct Hades-Kronos on the MC, adds a detail about
why now.
Alignments with the foot of Castor indicate that it
is time to come out of hiding, to become visible, to stand forth in the
limelight, and to make self visible, available, and approachable. This can also
indicate the need to emerge from our own mental obscurations and illusions.
Tejat and Dirah may indicate it is time to claim one's role in the physical
world, and to take the steps at hand that are required for the physical
unfoldment of what we want and for our participation in the world. As Tejat brings
to the surface that which has been suppressed, we may see parts of our selves
that seem rather dark and opposing to our emergence—the fears, hesitancies, and
blockages within our selves that we must step through into our paths of
fulfillment in the world. Tejat and Dirah invite us to be willing to walk
through the shadows of self to claim our power and place in the physical world.
The more we express the truth of who we are openly in the world the less forces
attempting to suppress that truth have any power.
Doesn’t
this explain why Merkel and Hollande who were upto now toeing the American line
are now moving away and expressing their own thoughts?
