Ancient German Monastery Closes


Vestal Virgins

An ancient monastery in western Germany in operation for almost 900 years will close its doors permanently by January 2018, citing a shortage of monks and the excessive financial burden of maintaining its property.
As the Catholic church sees significant declines in its faithful, so too are the numbers declining of those who dedicate their lives to the religious vocation as defined by the Holy See, resulting in the abandonment of communities, historic structures and a way of life. https://sptnkne.ws/fFUt




In his blogpost on the current New Moon lunar cycle, entitled Totalitarian Powers & Blind Followers - Self Authority & the Suprahuman Grail, Nick Fiorenza wrote:

This September 20, 2017 (Sept 19 MST) New Moon occurs just into sidereal Virgo. It conjoins Benetnash of the Great Bear and the Super-giant Whirlpool Galaxy M51, Javijava of Virgo, the M100 Sprial Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, and Labrum, Theta (θ), Epsilon (ε) and Beta (β) of Crater, the Grail. The stars of Virgo support the preparation and purity of self for our greatest wellbeing and highest evolutionary attainment. The Leo-Virgo cusp is however also of political-religious figureheads along with their grand diversionary dramatics, thus bringing a strong emphasis to the need for discernment, from blindly following the propaganda of elitist totalitarian world powers designed to maintain ignorance in the illusion of separation, to the discovery of a deeper hidden truth that leads to personal enlightenment, the awakening of suprahuman potential [1]. http://www.lunarplanner.com/index.html

A chart for the New Moon at the Himmerod Abbey, has the Moon placed very significantly on the Ascendant in hard aspect to Saturn and the TNPs, Poseidon and Cupido. The TNP Cupido is about families or groups (and includes any real estate that houses them)  while TNP Poseidon refers to religion and spirituality so that together they can refer to the monks in the monastery.
Moreover, the New Moon is conjunct the asteroid Vesta on the Ascendant. About Vesta, Martha Wescott writes:

The Roman goddess Vesta was the goddess of sacrificial fire. The mythos of Vesta is largely linked to the six Vestal Virgins who lived in the temple to maintain the “eternal flame”.  Brought to the temple between the ages of 6 and 10, the virgins served for a period of thirty years. With the asteroid Vesta, there are experiences of “sacrifice of the self”, denial of personality or the desires and fulfillment of the self…for a greater goal.

In the last few days transit Mars formed its last quarter square with Saturn and is now conjunct the New Moon on the Ascendant. Dane Rudhyar termed the last quarter phase of any cycle as a “crisis in consciousness”. In order to understand the nature of the crisis we look at the original conjunction of Mars and Saturn. The conjunction formed a T-square with Neptune and the nodal axis. Explaining this conjunction Nick Fiorenza wrote:

Mars conjoined Saturn and Antares on August 24, 2016. This  conjunction acts as a stimulus to action as we enter the last quarters of the Saturn-Neptune 36.4-year cycle and the last quarter of the Jupiter-Saturn 20-year cycle, a time to initiate change in those cycles—in the sociopolitical structures in the world and in the modalities of our personal lives that are based upon antiquated ideologies.
The  transition into the last quarter of the 36.4-year Saturn-Neptune cycle impels us to relinquish antiquated ideologies and the solidifications, constructs and behavioral patterns within self and in society we had built around those ideologies, those which we may have come to identify ourselves with, but that have now served their purpose and limit the manifestation of not only our greater dreams and visions, but limit awakening as illumined self-aware and self-empowered souls beyond the veils of illusion we have acquiesced to. Saturn-Antares teaches us about the limits we have placed upon our own power, and here it tells us the power is within to change our own self imposed limits. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LP-Excerpts/2016-Mars-Retrograde/index.html

With all the pieces in place we can now begin to understand why the ancient monastery needs to close.
