To the magus, there
exists no accidental happening…everything is established solidly by that law
which the wise man discerns in happenings that appear accidental to the
profane. The curve observed in the flight of birds, the barking of a dog, the
shape of a cloud, are occult manifestations of that omnipresent, coordinator,
the source of unity and harmony - Karl
Seligmann
Ara – the Altar
A
major fire has engulfed the medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, one of
France's most famous landmarks. The 850-year-old Gothic building's spire and
roof have collapsed but the main structure, including the two bell towers, has
been saved, officials say. Firefighters are still working to contain the blaze
as teams try to salvage the artwork stored inside. President Emmanuel Macron
called it a "terrible tragedy". The cause of the fire is not yet
clear. April 15 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47941794
In my previous posts, I have attributed several “accidents”
reported in the news to to a phenomena
known as Moon Wobble which we are currently passing through.
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.
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. Remember, if you are not working through your subconscious issues
you are more likely to fall prey to your emotions.
Any celestial phenomena becomes significant for a place when
mundane horoscopes (e.g. ingress, lunation, exact planetary aspects etc.) bring
them to the angles. Shown here is the chart for the exact Venus – Jupiter square
at Paris on April 16, just a day after
the incident. Notice how the Moon Wobble Grand Cross aligns with the meridian.
In her book, The Orders of Light, Martha Wescott delineates the combination
Pluto-Zeus as “events associated with fires” among other things.
Turning our attention to the horizon axis, we notice that
the Ascendant [17sa] and Jupiter
[24sa] are square Neptune [17pi] and
Venus [24pi] respectively. For all practical purposes, the Ascendant-Jupiter
combination is square the Venus-Neptune conjunction.
Jupiter [24sa] is conjunct the star beta Arae – in the
Altar’s flame! Like all cathedrals,
Notre Dame too would have an altar. An
altar symbolizes the spiritual center of the world. It is a place of divine
presence, thanksgiving. As a raised place for sacrifices and sacred acts it
embodies ascent. Fire is the ascending way to the higher world, passing from
death to immortality , from darkness to light; it is a place of integration
symbolizing new beginnings.
Phoenix Bird
Neptune [17pi] is conjunct the star Ankaa, alpha Phoenix.
Diana Rosenberg links this star with fires and writes:
Stars of Phoenix, the
Firebird were transited in 1194 when the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres
(itself built on a Druid shrine that had burned) was partly destroyed by fire
(rebuilt); at the start of the 1666 Great Fire of London; at the terrible
Tokyo, Yokohama8.3 quake, tsunami, fire of 1923 that left 143,000 dead; at a
1960 Guatemala City asylum fire (225 dead, 300 injured); at a fire at the
Dumont Plaza Hotel in San Juan, PR in 1986; at a 1996 disco fire in Quezon
City, Philippines that killed more than
150 and several others.
More broadly, the square between Jupiter in Sagittarius and
Neptune in Pisces reflects a crisis that is pushing us to transcend (Neptune in
Pisces) orthodox religion (Jupiter in
Sagittarius). Many of our deepest
delusions come from the cultures in which we live and the institutions we
associate with. Neptune appears to blur
the line between reality and illusion, but what it’s really doing is revealing
the illusion so that we can see through to the reality beyond. Ultimately
our own private “spirituality” may be the only “religion” that can save
us and till we reach this realization we may need to go through difficult
experiences much like those who are
agonizing over the destruction of 800 year old Notre Dame Cathedral.
Confirming our analysis, here is the April precession corrected lunar
return chart for France [1]. Can it be a coincidence that here too the Moon
Wobble aligns with the meridian?!
Finally let us recognize that the destruction of the cathedral
of Notre-Dame has a deeper symbolic meaning. Martin Luther King, Billy Graham,
St. Bernadette, St Thomas Becket, Abdul Bahai are some several greats born
under the stars of the Altar. Ara the
altar signifies ever new beginnings. It is reported that French President
Macron has promised to rebuild the cathedral. That of course would be an empty
act. Would he be ready to step down and allow a new era to begin which is what
the Yellow Vest movement is asking for!

at the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem just as flames ravaged the

Coincidence!
