Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: ” a woman drawing aside two dark curtains that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway”

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: “the music of the spheres”

Today Mercury reaches the degree in the sky where the Galactic Center is located. In astrology, this is called “Mercury conjunct the Galactic Center.” The ancient Gnostics considered the Galactic Center to be the “spiritual home” of the galaxy. They called it the pleroma. The Gnostics said that Divine beings homed in the Galactic Center (aeons) configure the codes of life (genomes) of various types of beings and then “seed” that out into the arms of the galaxy after receiving the spark of life from Source (“the Originator” in the Gnostic teachings).

When Mercury reaches this degree, 26 Sagittarius 22, we receive Divine inspiration. Mercury rules communication, telecommunication, thought processes, information, giving information, travel, and receiving and transmitting. The arrow in the constellation of Sagittarius the Archer points to the center of the Milky Way — our Galactic Center. The Sabian symbol for this degree is “the sculptor’s vision is taking form.”

This is one of the most powerful energetics for receiving Divine guidance, inspiration, insight, and clarity. It supports the mission of this lunar month’s Sabian symbol of “a woman drawing aside two dark curtains that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway.” The energetic to open a closed entrance (new way, new path, new opportunity, new mindset, new outlook, new idea) is in effect for the next 11 days (until Friday, December 18 at 10:09 am ET/3:09 pm UT) — the amount of time it will take for the Sun to reach this degree, and super-charge it.

As this begins today, the Sun moves to the degree of “seagulls flying around a ship looking for food,” the location of Mercury a week ago. Since last Monday (November 30), the music of the spheres (the astrology of the planets) has had us evaluating people, places, and things during a process of shifting of perspective and perception. This was the equivalent of the “drawing aside two dark curtains” part of the symbol. Now, the opening of “pathway” part begins.

Every month it takes us all lunar month long to come to the Balsamic Moon phase, the last of the Moon’s phases before it becomes New again, and the final expression of the month’s Sabian symbol energetic. This one will continue slightly into the next New Moon, the lunar month beginning with the Sun and Moon’s conjunction in Sagittarius, which happens this Friday, December 11.

Note that the Sabian symbol for the Galactic Center is worded as “the sculptor’s vision” and not “a sculptor’s vision.” Taken back to Gnostic origins, this symbol would mean “the Originator’s vision” or “the aeons’ vision.” In mystery school terms, it could be read as “the individual’s vision.”

The symbol is active in that the sculptor’s vision “is taking form.” It is in process; it is happening now.

So, today, as we understand that new paths are opening, we also see that something else is taking structure. As the Sun discharges the energy of the “seagulls flying around a ship looking for food,” we are focused not on the scraps of unfulfilled life and potential and illusory structure and security that the old, crumbling world seeks to maintain. We move beyond that by freeing ourselves and beginning to build the “new world” of Second Renaissance. We are recreating reality. We begin to construct — to form — based on a shifted paradigm.

Also today Venus moves to the degree opposite the Chiron Point at, “a youth holding a lighted candle in a devotional ritual,” assisting the theme of an enlightenment of humanity that is occurring. It is happening to some before others. But Venus opposite the Chiron Point can bring up pain in current or from past relationships, especially since Mars is still discharging the energy of “circular paths.” So the power of the past is stronger, but it is helping us see beyond our blind spots.

Out of the darkness and into the light, we are finding our way. We hold a candle to our vision. We devote ourselves to a grander experience of life.

The Oracle Report ~ June 5, 2014

Laura Walker’s Oracle Report for today goes right along with the recent themes I’ve noted. I especially like her analogy of the cat arguing with a mouse — when, clearly, the cat could just overpower the mouse. That is so right on for situations I’ve observed in the microcosm. As within, so without. Methinks that certain mice have taunted the cat for far too long, ala Tom & Jerry — or, perhaps the cat has toyed with the mouse, while arguing with it instead of eating it. As Laura notes, the mouse is not being devoured by the cat, which seems to indicate some kind of opportunity for balance.

First Quarter Moon Phase: take action, break away, step out

Moon in Virgo

Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi (The Paralyzer, The Storm-Calmer)

Skill: look at the details but also the bigger picture of things

Negative Imprint: settling for less, taking scraps; aggression, arguments

Positive Imprint: independence, creativity, speaking one’s mind peacefully

The First Quarter Moon phase begins today, bringing the energy to link things together with the intricacy of a fine lace handkerchief. We see how things from our past, present, and future are threaded together. Details are important today, and taking care of small details is encouraged, but seeing the big picture of all the details is more important. We want to make sure we are looking at the totality of things, not just one aspect.

The Sun is now in the middle of Gemini. Gemini energy always involves others in various ways; it is the sign of The Twins. The concept of “the other” is fused with Gemini. It is concerned with “me vs others” and can have difficulty standing on its own. You could also say it is about our inner world and what we show the outer world. Today’s energy highlights the Gemini theme of others through strong support of activities, projects, and ideas undertaken with others.

Further, the notion of “self and others” comes into play today in other ways. In keeping with this month’s theme of “aroused strikers around a factory,” we are inclined to stand up and lay out our position in support of something important. To minimize resistance, make sure you are coming from the highest level of intention and do not become aggressive or pushy. Stand in your center and radiate your power. Communicate your emotions, but don’t get carried away or overdramatic. Be clear and don’t waver. And if you don’t get the support or outcome that you want, don’t despair. Enormous inner strength will be built and clarity about what is not in line with your highest, best, happiest life will be revealed. Wisdom is gained.

The “intricate lacework” today includes potential for being misunderstood or disadvantaged. This manifests if you are focusing too much of your energy on others at the expense of taking care of yourself. What need is this satisfying in you? Do you need to become more independent, self-contained, or creative? Remember that inner strength is the aim this month. Don’t lose sight of alternatives or other possibilities.

Finally, a word about the impending Mercury retrograde. Mercury will station retrograde on Saturday, but today it has moved to the degree in the sky where it will appear to stop and move backwards. Simply stated, the retrograde energy is foreshadowed today. Here’s the thing: the degree of Mercury’s retrograde is “a cat arguing with a mouse.” Take a breath and let’s begin to reframe this. Yes, this means the Mercury retrograde will be intense. Things will come to somewhat of a standstill and communications will have conflicts. People will argue about things. But the fact that the cat is arguing with the mouse, when it could easily overpower and devour it, tells us that some sort of balance will come to situations – possibly for the first time. Old values, ideas, and systems are reconsidered. You could say the underdog (or “undermouse”) takes a stand and gains power. What was once overpowering is now open for discourse. While Mercury is retrograde, the balance of power is transformed in all things. Let’s work the Mercury retrograde from this angle, starting today.

Since the day is like intricate lacework, I could go on and on about the energetic signatures, but this is the big picture. Dive in to look at details, but come back to see things as a whole. Keep building your inner strength.

(P.S. Good job making it through double Crescent energy, wise owls! – For more information about the double Crescent energy, refer to the audio recording for this month, the Gemini Moon, here at the top of the Homepage at OracleReport.com)
