Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts
General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, was one of the first scientists to
take the anecdotal claims about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and
test them in brain scans. What she found surprised her — that meditating can
literally change your brain. May 26 http://wapo.st/1Fav2X8
If a chart
drawn for the time of an exact planetary aspect brings major planetary
combinations to the angles, it can be saying something extremely
significant. Shown here is a chart for
the Mars-Neptune square of May 25 drawn for Boston,MA. Notice that it places an important Grand Cross
involving Saturn-Neptune on the angles.
The power of
Neptune can be seen working in our lives on so many levels that it absolutely
boggles the mind! Most of us, however, are largely unaware of the all-pervasive
influence this mysterious and fascinating planet has on us. In his The
Rulership Book, Rex E. Bills lists meditation as one of things, Neptune
rules [1]. However, it is Saturn on the Ascendant in the chart that is
referring to the discipline that is required in the practice of Yoga and
meditation. With the concrete tendencies of Saturn, the imagination is not left
swirling in an inner world of dreams and fancies but is released onto the
physical plane creating the changes that the article refers to. That
changes take place in the brain is indicated by Saturn [1sa25] conjunct the star Dschuba [2sa43] in the head of the Scorpion.
About the
star Dschuba, Nick Fiorenza writes:
As we arrive to
the head of the Scorpion, which crosses the cusp of sidereal Libra/Scorpio, and
is marked by the star Dschuba (also considered the "Tree of Life"),
we come to the brain controlling the claws. Here we are asked to graduate to a
level of realizing we create our experience and are responsible for it. Here we
realize we have a choice regarding our experience. Once we choose to step
out from the patterns of the past and to do it differently we become free from
the path of soul growth entrapped in the chelae. This also marks a graduation
from feeling helpless, even justifying why we are entrapped as if victims of
life, into the maturation of the soul, of becoming self-responsible. Here there
are no longer reasons to place blame outside of self.
Since Neptune
is conjunct the star Situla of Aquariu. Tthe ever
cleansing Waters of Aquarius, combine with his predecessor Gula, a goddess of
medicine, to remind us that meditation can heal and renew bodies, minds and
souls.
