TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON Oct 27, 2004
Eclipsing Moon cycle Oct 13-Nov 12
Happenings in the heavens are mirrored in events on Earth. When an eclipse occurs above, something is being eclipsed or
eliminated here below. A meditative pause with deep breathing during the time of an eclipse, and in days that follow, can help let
go of old ego patterns and release obstructions from personal lives and the life of the world.
When a lunar cycle begins with a solar eclipse, the entire Moon cycle is an eclipsing time. This means there is opportunity for
psychic clearing throughout the time between the October 13th solar eclipse at 22 Libra and November 12th when a new
lunar cycle begins.
Psychic independence, self-empowerment and realization of one's purpose in the tribe or society are goals of the spiritual quest.
Eclipses can clear what may obscure the way forward. A lunar eclipse is opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially
conditioned patterns of thought and behavior that stand in way of self-realizing and good relationship.
Meditation, chanting and deep breathing help make it easier to let go and open to the benefits of this cosmic alignment. We may
like to avoid deep breathing because this causes us to feel more deeply, and that means feeling what is within, and in the world
outside, that needs eclipsing. It's good to feel need now as spirit responds to what we feel.
Suffering is prolonged by avoiding it and cleared by feeling through a lunar eclipse, which is an opportunity to feel more deeply so
we may bring to awareness and release old grief, regret, fear and misunderstanding. A lunar eclipse is a time to go within and
clear out the emotional well.
The better this is done, the more blessings come.
How? Basically it's either move-and-grove with clockwise circling, or sit / lie down, breathe and let feel. Total attention to breath
means thought can't draw away from guiding light within to clear channels. Also, as this lunar cycle began with a solar eclipse in
Lupus the Wolf decan of Libra, the IV of Swords meditation can be key to clearing the way / breaking the shadow spell ~
Simply lie on your back with hands together prayer-like over the solar plexus as seen in the IV of Swords Tarot card. Energy from
palms activates the solar plexus fire chakra. What needs transforming focuses through palms onto the "fire" of ARA, the altar of
transformation depicted in the constellations. Chiron brings the shadow wolf Lupus to this altar. All we need do is relax, feel and
stay focused on the breath to transform shadow. Note ~ Lying with head north may be best to align body magnet with Earth
magnet.
Tonight there is a total eclipse of the Moon starting at 9:15pm EDT and total between 10:30 and 11:30pm. Whether or not the sky
is clear and we get to see it, we will certainly be feeling it. The most powerful time for meditation is the 20 minutes centering
around the exact time of the eclipse: 11:07pm EDT/3:07am GMT. Let's tune in 10:57-11:17pm.
Meditation is a potent method of service to humanity when the mind is
used as a channel for the reception of the energies of light and love and the
will-to-good and their direction into human consciousness. And the
moment of the Full Moon each month offers the greatest opportunity for
meditation - particularly in group formation - to be used as a means of
cooperation with the divine Plan or Intention for our world.
~ Alice A. Bailey
Illuminating dreams and guiding inspirations will come during the three days following this lunar eclipse as revelations filter into
consciousness.
What is this October 27th total eclipse of the Moon particularly about?
To answer that astrologers who study eclipses first give attention to the Saros cycle number and then take us back to the first
eclipse of the Saros series.
The eclipses of this October 13th and October 27th are part of the Saros
#6 eclipse series. Saros number determines the theme of an eclipse series:
Princess Diana was born, met prince Charles and died under a Saros #18 eclipse. The Moon card is #18 in Tarot. Diana lived
the story of Cancerian Moon goddess and was buried on an island with the Spencer's hunting hounds.
Saros #6 is symbolized by the Lovers card in Tarot. 2004 is a #6 = Lovers year. It seems now that all people are invoking the
Return of the King and returning of Light and Love. All without and within that has been blocking the way to Love and right
relationship will have come up between the eclipses we've been sandwiched between from Oct 13 to 28.
The opportunity now is to clear the way to true love and right relationship on all levels including relationship between personality
and soul. Study
Tarot #6 for more clues how to do this. Note that Eve's serpent has been trained up her tree and her left, receptive hand points to
a mountaintop in the background. Going to a mountain can be key to breaking the spell of Sauron. Transformation / clearing
continue through this lunar cycle.
This Saros #6 eclipse series began with a solar eclipse on Mar 6 1049 when Sun and Moon were conjunct Venus at 21-22 Pisces.
Venus is love. 3rd decan Pisces is star sign Cassiopeia, the seated Queen and mother of Andromeda. 3rd decan Pisces is
transforming Scorpio sub-sign and Tarot
X of Cups is about realizing the dream, the Rainbow connection.
Will the curse be broken tonight?
All prophecies agree that if the Red Sox win Kerry is a shoe in. Should the Red Sox lose (not likely) Kerry is still likely to win the
electoral vote, though Bush may win the popular.
One of many signs of positive shift is Financial Times lead article, Oct 25th with message that Bush is Bad for Business:
"Giant US Brand Names Suffer Slump in Europe, Anti-Americanism seen as cause."
The fear factor is the only thing that makes this election as yet not entirely predictable. Otherwise all star signs favor Kerry.
The message from Kerry is "Vote Your Hope, Not Your Fear."
Keep the faith and visualize, we co-determine what will be.

Good luck, and happy eclipsing!

ST. LOUIS (AP)
Only a curse can stop the Boston Red Sox now. And they know all about such things. With their baseball stars and lucky stars
aligned, the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 Tuesday night and moved within one win of their first World Series
championship since 1918.
GRAND QUINTILES 2004, quoted from Jill Whitman & Ed Gillam
http://www.grandquintiles.co.uk/
"A Grand Quintile is a five-pointed star bounded by a pentagon.
There has not been a Grand Quintile since 1941, and there will not be another until 2024 (In the October/November alignments)
Saturn will form a bi-quintile with both Uranus and Pluto, creating a three-planet configuration known as a golden yod, with the
"finger of fate" pointing to Saturn. Having three distant planets in this relationship for 14 weeks vastly increases the odds of any
one other (plus the Moon) moving into place for a Grand Quintile. The Sun conjunct with Mercury provides the missing piece on
October 1st, and Jupiter comes around to fill in the gap on the 28th. The charts have been timed in each case according to the
arrival of the Moon (the determining factor in the configuration) at the exact midpoint of the Saturn/Uranus bi-quintile. Just prior to
the October 28 Grand Quintile, on the evening of October 27 at 11:05pm EDT there will be a total lunar eclipse. This eclipse will
be visible all over North and South America, Europe, most of West Africa and Western Asia. (In 2,500 years of these aspect
patterns only one other, on June 6th, 141 CE, fell anywhere near as close to a total lunar or solar eclipse.)"
1ST GRAND QUINTILE October 1st
"Mars and the sceptre will be in conjunction,
Under Cancer, a calamitous war:
A little while after there will be a new king anointed
Who for a long time will bring peace to the Earth."
- Nostradamus Prophecies,
Century 6 Quatrain 24
According to Nostradamus, a Mars/Jupiter conjunction will signal the end of war and the start of a long awaited millennium of
peace.
"When the Moon is in the 7th house,
and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
then Peace will guide the planets
and Love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!"
~ song by James Rado/Gerome Ragni/Galt MacDermot, 1968, written for Hair the musical, sung by the Fifth Dimension

On the morning of October 1st, 2004 a perfect five pointed star was formed by a 7th House Taurus Moon (15 Taurus) bi-quintile
Jupiter and Mars in conjunction at the beginning of Libra. Saturn, Uranus & Pluto - the other points of the pentacle - are in a
Golden Phi
Triangle throughout October and early November
A second Grand Quintile forms October 28th, in the hours following a total eclipse of the Moon. And a third is created on election
night.
2ND GRAND QUINTILE October 28th
http://www.worldpuja.org/EVENTS/events.html
In the Grand Quintile on October 28th, a fast moving Jupiter will come to the position that the Sun had occupied in the first, joining
the Moon, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto to form the second five-pointed star/pentagram pattern. This will change the energy of the
planetary picture, bringing the expansiveness, optimism and God awareness that Jupiter represents to the moment. Jupiter's
addition can be read thus:
Moon to Jupiter = the spiritual drive to create and transform the positive flow of nurturance and generosity through the emotional
connection to the Spiritual plane.
Jupiter to Saturn = the spiritual drive to transform with the purpose to establish a state of balance between the physical status
quo and the desire to expand into something larger.
Jupiter to Uranus = the spiritual drive to create a transformative experience that suddenly breaks through restraints in the drive
for true spiritual freedom.
Jupiter to Pluto = the spiritual drive to transform and improve one's status in our chosen societal element and the creative
merger between one's chosen goals and the subconscious drive that compels us to strive to attain them.
Note: John Kerry is a Jupiter-ruled Sagittarian born 12/11/43 @ 8:03am
MWT in Denver, Colorado. Kerry was born exactly at Full Moon with Moon at 18 Gemini conjunct Edwards 18 Gemini Sun and
Aug 8th Venus transit!
3RD GRAND QUINTILE November 2nd
On the evening of November 2nd at about 11:55pm a perfect 5-pointed star forms in the heavens over Washington, DC. This star
is created by quintiles & biquintiles (72 & 144 degree angles) between a Venus/Jupiter conjunction at 6-8 Libra (Love), Saturn at
27 Cancer, Uranus 3 Pisces, Pluto at 21 Sagittarius (conjunct John Kerry's Sun) and the 15 degree Taurus Midpoint Power Gate
on the Mid-heaven. This is an awesome chart, the 3rd Grand Quintile forming this fall. In the Oct 1st and Oct 28th Grand
Quintiles the Moon was at 15 Taurus, one of the four fixed sign midpoint power gates.
The Moon occupies the mid-Taurus point at the first two Grand Quintiles, mid-Taurus is the zodiacal locus of the planetary
grouping of 5 May 2000 and 15 Taurus aligns with Pipestone, Minnesota in the zodiac projected on Earth. Pipestone, and nearby
Janesville, Wisconsin are centers of White Buffalo and Degandiweda mythic stories of Native America.
Also on 11/2/04 the U.S. progressed Sun leaves the Cetus decan of Aquarius and enters the Cepheus decan of Pisces. Cetus is
the sea monster threatening Andromeda, world soul. Cepheus is the King with power over the dragon. Cetus is the sea monster
that threatens Andromeda in the Greek story. The US progressed Sun has been in the Cetus decan of Aquarius since 1994 when
the Oklahoma bombing occurred. t's time now for a new story!
RING WAR'S END
The final entries in J.R.R. Tolkien's Return of the King chronology:
2 November 04 - GANDALF & THE HOBBITS ROUSE THE SHIRE FOLK
Astrology: Sun entering Ara the Altar decan of Scorpio, transforming the shadow wolf. Mercury (Gandalf) trines Saturn (Sauron).
3 November 04 - SARAMAN IS SLAIN, END OF THE WAR OF THE RING, an era of peace and abundance begins. Shortly after
local midnight on
November 3rd, an empowered Moon in Cancer conjuncts Saturn. Galadriel wins over Sauron / Saraman.
Even one small person can change the course of history.
~ Galadriel
On the mornings of November 2-4th Venus will closely conjunct Jupiter in the morning sky. It will be a great blessing then to have
these two luckiest planets come together. Perhaps this is what Tolkien meant by the Return of the King and beginning of the
new era.
"From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
~ The Fellowship of the Ring, p. 182
The sword was reforged by the Elvish smiths, and it shone with the light of the Sun and the Moon. The blade was engraved with a
rayed Sun and a crescent Moon with seven stars between them. Aragorn named the sword Anduril, the Flame of the West.
http://www.tuckborough.net/swords.html#Anduril
J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Silmarilion were written in the early fifties for this time of transition between
the old era of Pisces and the new Age of Aquarius.
COMEBACK COUNTRY
"From time to time I have been called the comeback kid," the politically savvy former president told a rally of cheering supporters.
"John Kerry is going to make America the comeback country."

CHARTING THE ECLIPSE FACTOR by Kathie Garcia
http://www.atlantisrising.com/issue5/ar5astro.html
Long ago, the ancient Chaldeans discovered that eclipses occur in repetitive cycles. These are known as Saros Cycles. Saros
means repetition in the ancient Babylonian tongue. Once the Saros cycles were discovered, eclipses could be predicted
accurately centuries in advance. The famous astronomer-astrologer-geographer Ptolomy, c. 100 to 165 A.D., observed eclipses
and Saros cycles to determine their effect on the horoscope of a certain city or kingdom. Many of his keys to eclipse interpretation
are still used today.
That eclipses trigger political events and natural phenomena is certain. Astrologers have pointed out the correlation between
earthquakes and eclipses. In his record of the Peloponnesian War, the Greek historian Thucydides relates that earthquakes and
eclipses of the Sun, which came to pass more frequently than had been remembered in former times. On Sept. 16, 1978, an
earthquake took place in Iran just 3 and a half hours before a total lunar eclipse was visible there.
ECLIPSE - PROMISE OR PERIL?
~ Julie Gillentine
http://www.queenofcups.com/AR36article.htm
Because lunar eclipses are visible at night, sub-consciousness and the dream state are activated. The darkness of night, which
has been illuminated by the Full Moon, becomes completely darkened by the Earth's shadow. Too much focus on the concerns of
Earth can prevent the full reflection of our spiritual light. Eclipses of the Moon (Full Moons) represent a waking experience in the
dream of our life. We can perceive where we have placed too much emphasis on worldly things. The energies of a lunar eclipse
might represent dominance or conquest of materialism over instinct and memory as the Earth obstructs the Sun's reflection.
Viewed another way this represents the conscious mind overcoming instinct or habitual behavior.
R. C. Jansky reports, "It has been shown that at the time of the Full Moon, and especially during a lunar eclipse, the
surface tension of all fluids is increased (the molecular cohesive forces at the surface of any fluid)." Since our bodies
are mostly fluid, we can surmise that there must be some corresponding physiological response in our bodily system."
Working with Eclipses--Part II
~ Jill Amery
http://www.noeltyl.com/techniques/030630.html
Robert Carl Jansky and Bernadette Brady, in their independent work on the Saros Series cycles of eclipses, suggest looking to
the core eclipse
("birth" horoscope) of a series for symbolic meaning. (The entire Saros
Series are listed in their books (Interpreting the Eclipses by Jansky; The Eagle and the Lark by Brady).
Ancient astrologer-priests used these cycles in their predictions. Jansky explains, "The first eclipse in the series commences as a
tiny solar eclipse at either the North or South Pole. Subsequent solar eclipses occur farther from this pole as the series
progresses. Toward the middle of the series the eclipses commence becoming total as their route over the Earth's surface takes
them farther from the pole where they started and closer to the equatorial latitudes. Later after, a series of annular and total solar
eclipses, the eclipses begin to get progressively more partial again, the last in the series occurring at the opposite pole from which
it started."
LAKOTA COSMOLOGY SUN, MOON & MORNING STAR
http://www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/lakota.htm
The counterpart of Wi, the Sun, was Hanwi, the Moon, whose name literally means "Night Sun." Wohpe, their daughter, was the
White Buffalo Calf Woman. (Powers, 1972.) The Sun was recognized as one of the greatest of the Lakota's divine Controllers.
Inktomi, the trickster-spider, mediates between gods and men weaving the ladder between heaven and earth. According to this
text, Wohpe is Falling Star, and *she* marries the South Wind as her husband. The Morning Star is said to represent the light of
knowledge as a counter to the darkness of ignorance. In the Ghost Dance ritual, the morning star was identified with the Messiah:
it was the "yellow star" who those in Ghost Dance trance were supposed to watch. It appears in the form of a Maltese cross on
many ghost shirts worn by the dancers.
