What are the Nodes & what do
they show us about our journey here on planet Earth!
The Moon’s orbit around the Earth
is nearly the same as the Sun’s apparent orbit around Earth, but not quite! The
two circles are inclined, or oblique to each other, the Moon’s orbital incline
is about 5:25’ degrees. So as the Moon circles the Earth every Month it must
cross the greater circle of the Sun (Ecliptic ) twice in that time;
At one time
ascending North to cross it from the
South. And the other descending south from the North. This journey takes
approximately 14 days, with the Nodal movement regressing along the Zodiacal
ecliptic at an average rate of 3 minutes per day or 19 degrees 20’ per Year.
In Antiquity “The God
(Gods)” were identified with immortality. They were said to take delight in -
the Nectar, (Honey) elixir of Life. Or alternatively they possessed some
secret, be-it potion or axiom, truism or enchantment that allowed them to
continue this superior position they held in their realm. Conversely “The
Demons” were always trying to gain access to this privileged knowledge.
Scheming or plotting ways to obtain this privileged knowledge. These stories
are the origin of the narrations from which springs forth the Chronicle of
Nodes.
In the Vedic version the Demon on learning
that if he/she somehow disguised himself/herself as a God that he/she could
sneak by and partake of the Nectar and hence gain immortality, which he/she
did. On hearing of this the “Other privileged gods” the Sun & Moon,
complained that this was not too be! So Vishnu (Supreme Lord) was forced to do
something to appease the privileged. Vishnu drew upon the sacred sword and
severed the Serpent in two leaving the two halves.
The Head becomes Rahu
(North Node) and the Tail Ketu (South Node). Now as the Demon (Serpent) had
already drunk the Elixir the serpent gained immortality and could not be
destroyed. Hence Darkness was seen to come twice a year to the World!
The ingress chart for the Nodes entry into the
bicorporal or double bodied signs of Sagittarius & Gemini in March 2011 shows
a late degree Aquarian transiting Moon co-joined to Neptune. This could be described
as a fanciful dreamlike thought, an imaginary subconscious disposition. Conversely,
Sagittarius and Gemini give a sense of ‘What’s right and how do you know that!’
The Archer is known for shooting Arrows and the Twins are exactly that, two
sides of the story.
For the past year and half across
the globe we have witnessed the to and fro approach with regards to all worldly
affairs. The results have been self evident as not much has been achieved. Financial
and diplomatic affairs have suffered a continuous blame game, which is what one
might expect with all that is going on in the heavens. Uranus has been playing tug
a war with Pluto during this Time as well, causing heightened tension and power
struggles across the Middle East.
Commencing August 30th
2012, a new realization or subconscious perception is about to transcend across
the Globe! This subliminal sentiment will challenge our sense of fairness with
regards to ‘what’s mine and what’s yours!’
The Lunar Nodes will make their
ingress into the solid or fixed Life and Death signs of Scorpio & Taurus.
The resources of each nation, unit,
body, being, person, individual or individual’s ownership will come under
intense scrutiny. Can we share our possessions, at the forefront will be land
and water resources. This ‘Will to Share’, will be tested and reinforced as the
coming months show testament to this.
Saturn the lord of providence and
outcome is also set to change signs. Saturn will enter the Scorpion on October
5th 2012, and remain there for the next two and half years.
Over the coming months Mars the
lord of differentiation will encounter the north Node in Scorpio. There will
also be a series of eclipses in the signs of Scorpio and Taurus, as eclipses
are formed from the placement of the Nodes. The bonding of Mars to the north
Node is not generally noted for a fortunate engagement, however if we apply ourselves
to this sharing way of thinking we may just avoid this in differentiation or
dissociation, severance, accusation and thereby avoid destabilisation of
Humanity.
This ‘Will to share’ is going to
be a mammoth struggle as mentioned the signs of Scorpio & Taurus are fixed
with regards to their modalities, ensuring that any compromise will come from
extreme confrontation.
