What
makes astrology supremely relevant is that it discloses an unsuspected
dimension of the world we think we know so well. It is as though we have become
accustomed to see only the horizontal yarn of the weaving, the weft, and are
largely unaware of the warp. We are accustomed to break down our world, in order
to understand it, into certain categories, recognizing what belongs to this
category, what belongs to that. That is ‘scientific’. However, astrology is
about learning to think in new categories. It embodies a system of new
categories that are as different from the ones to which we are habituated, as
the warp is from the weft. In this system objects and events that at first
sight appear to have nothing whatever to do with each other are shown to be
intimately connected. Conversely, things we naturally tend to associate may be
distributed otherwise in the astrological scheme. Understanding the world
around us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning, to make the
right connections, recognize what belongs with what. It is not easy. Unaided, it
is as if we are looking at the weaving from the wrong side, and it seems a
mess, but with the help of astrology we can see the design as it is meant to
be. As the shuttle of the cosmic loom ceaselessly weaves its intricate design,
astrologers have the responsibility, or rather the awesome privilege, to work
towards restoring to humanity the sense of high meaning it has all but lost.”

A
landing mishap on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea last week has left
five of the ship’s aircraft needing repairs, four of which are F/A-18 E/F Super

Since ancient times eclipses have been viewed as bad
omens. They have been held to be responsible for lost battles and many other
tragic events on Earth. Modern astrologers consider eclipses to be significant
if they fall on a sensitive point in a nation’s chart. The lunar eclipse of
July 16 fell on the US Sibly radix Pluto.
Pluto in astrology acts as a force for creative
destruction. This term, creative destruction, was coined by the Viennese
economist, Joseph Schumpeter. Schumpeter described creative destruction as, a
“process of…mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the….structure from
within, incessantly destroying the old one, and incessantly creating a new
one.” The chart of the USA (7/4/1776) also called the Sibly is undergoing a
Pluto return i.e. Pluto returning to the position it occupied in the radix. The Pluto Return is an extremely rare event.
Since Pluto takes almost 250 years to complete one orbit around the Sun, no
individual human being lives long enough to experience a Pluto Return. Not even
close. Nations can, but few do. So, America’s Pluto Return is a singular event
of potentially profound astrological importance.
In the USA Sibly chart, Pluto in the 2nd house connects with an unconscious
desire for power and control of resources. While the exact Pluto return will be in 2022,
an eclipse falling on Pluto is like the
first few drops of rain before a violent thunder shower so that events that happen
now may go unnoticed as it may be difficult to relate them to the bigger events
that are coming.
So what can a
small incident like the carrier mishap reported in the news be suggesting and
how is it related to the lunar eclipse of Jully 16 that fell on the Sibly
Pluto. To understand that we need to
know that astrologers consider an eclipse chart to be activated when progressions of the chart bring important configurations to an alignment with the horizon or meridian axes.
If we progress the eclipse chart at Washington, DC to
Aug. 21, the date of the news, notice that the Saturn-Pluto-Node aligns with
the horizon suggesting an event that would symbolically contain the meaning of
the eclipse.
The South Node of the Moon symbolizes past patterns of
behavior that have outlived their usefulness and need to be discarded. Here the
South Node is conjunct Saturn-Pluto amid stars of the Archer and the Eagle both
easily recognizable symbols of war. On the other hand, the North Node, which
represents the way forward is amid stars
of sidereal Gemini linked to co-operation, trade and commerce. Saturn-Pluto is
associated with constriction and pain followed by a rebirth of sorts. It can be
very hard on those who have over-extended themselves. This is the time when
anything false is likely to get forcefully deconstructed.
So on the Ascendant we have the stars of Aquila the Eagle
and the Archer often pictured together as in the image above – a perfect symbol
for a war plane. If we add to that the star on the descendant - Canopus of the celestial
ship Argo is it too difficult to imagine an aircraft carrier? A mishap on the
carrier is essentially saying time to end wars to grab other people’s
resources!
