Greetings all you starry eyed believers.
As this particular period of a retrograde mercury has been causing me all sorts of consternation, acouple of days ago I decided I needed to know precisely when it is to go direct on Saturday. In light of what the event chart I produced reveals, I'm glad I decided to make it as precise as possible [down to the exact second, by the computers estimation]. Being precise for this event is something I wouldn't have normally done until rather recently as estimates to within minutes had, generally speaking, been the rule and not the exception in my life for such astrological concerns pertaining to Mercury. For some reason I never took Mercury too serious as a 'Heavy Hitter'. I know well enough now that was a underestimation...as it is with any Planet, they all need to be given serious consideration. By serious, I mean 'fully revealed and analyzed'... if you're going to call yourself an 'Astrologer', anything less than your best effort should be unacceptable.
I cast a chart for my locale, here in Orangevale, Calif. to begin with and the event chart for the moment mercury will go direct again, i.e. 11:22:05 a.m., the Part of Fortune for that event will be in the 5th of Pisces and conj. transiting Neptune.
By Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala", the 5th degree of Pisces symbolizes:
"A CHURCH BAZAAR.
KEYNOTE: The value of giving a spiritual or transcendent sanction to even the most commonplace interchanges between social persons and individual minds.
This is the last of five symbols emphasizing the interaction between people constituting a social group, small or large. It brings in the element of religious sanctions. The purpose of any organized religion is primarily to meet the need of giving a more permanent significance to interpersonal relationships within the framework of a particular way of life and culture. It helps to keep the society 'hole' by making it 'holy'— at least in principle and ideal. It justifies human behavior by blessing it with a divine Revelation of what is good and valuable. It idealizes biological and social needs by ritualizing them.
This ends the sixty-seventh five-fold sequence on a note of RITUALlZED BENEFICENCE. It stresses the possibility of the 'Presence of God' in even the most material human activities."
...well, I won't go into my personal life and upcoming demands but this symbol is exactly what I needed to hear. I am postponing an important meeting and the other party is not a believer in Astrology and isn't passive about His disbelief either. He is a devout member of one of those 'Christian sects" that insists that the "Bible' says that any form of Astrology and any type of use of it is unholy and is collaborating with the Devil.
As Mercury is going direct here soon after he will be getting out of church [he's of a denomination that observes the Sabbath on Saturday] it's a perfect time to suggest for this meeting, [and I know that he'll figure that the time I suggest for our get together to be perfectly natural for a sunny Saturday afternoon.]
As the Part of Fortune of the event moment is a suggestion for a meeting that must be given a respectful spiritual decorum it is absolutely an opportunity 'tailor made' as to the timing of Mercury going direct here in my locale.
The event chart axis is a near perfect 90* Cross. All four points are the 3rd degree of the Cardinal signs...Two of those being the exact same sign and degree as the Sun and the Moon were in the last Full Moon...[read the Sabian Symbols for that in the thread for that event or at the mindfire website that has all the Sabian Symbols as identified and summarily defined by Dane Rudhyar if you're interested the other axis points and or anything else to do with this subject at this link here: http://mindfire.ca/The Sabian Symbols/An Astrological Mandala - Contents.htm ]
Do regard these axis points, as in the same manner, as that of a natal chart interpretation. The Asc. being "WHO", the Desc. as "WHERE-TO", the M.C. [for a spiritually evolutionary concern and interpretation] as to "HOW", Who is supposed to get to Where-to, and the I.C. as the answer as to "WHY" concerning the first three. You should be able to see why I'm particularly upbeat about Sunday and it being of such good potential and to such an extent that I don't think I can ruin it...even if I try to....knock on wood...]
Now...here's were it gets a little bit more interesting...that is those of you that have been following my threads and developments utilizing the chart I propose and am totally confident is the natal chart of the U.S.A., that being the zero hour [12:00:01 a.m.] July 4, 1776 Philadelphia, Penn. chart.
Anyone that read my thread for the last Full Moon , the 'Super Moon', as it was being called by Astronomers, knows that the event chart I cast for the exact moment of that Full Moon event for the locale of Philadelphia produced an M.C. in the 11th degree of Aries and that the Desc. and the Part of Fortune for that event was the 26th of Capricorn and within a degree of orb of conj. to the natal Pluto of the U.S.A. I also mentioned in that thread how an event chart cast for my locale here was just as equally significant to my own personal situation and this locale. You should all understand that we are still collectvely in that cycle of process. Although the New Moon has already come and gone since then, it is still the other hemi-cycle to what had been set in motion during that last Full Moon, that being what is, as Dane Rudhyar put it, that all cycles of orbits by the Planets, Moon et al, that are used for calculating aspects are a series of a progression of aspects. From New Moon to Full Moon, for example is half of a complete cycle and in that first half cycle in which the Moon is moving away, apart from, the Sun it is in an "Involutionary Hemi-cycle", called that by Rudhyar, because, as he wrote:
"...because a spiritual potentiality or karmic necessity involves or incorporates itself into matter." The second half, or waning part of the Moons cycle is called the "Devolutionary Hemi-cycle." [
[and also wrote that there is a polar complement to Devolution and that it is Evolution. The change from Involution to Devolution is cyclic, continuous and natural...it occurs everywhere around us constantly, but the change from Devolution to Evolution requires a kind of mutation or 'quantum leap' from one level, the level of 'life', to another ~ the level of 'mind' or growth in consciousness.]
And...so WE ARE in another period of incorporating "Spiritual potentiality" into matter...and for those of us that can and have taken that 'Quantum Leap", Rudhyar wrote of, it is incorporating what we derived from that "Quantum Leap" into the material world..."into matter", as Dane put it..
If you review the thread and note the timing of the major event in the news for the States, on the date of the Full Moon, it was 'Snowden', that was at the forefront. The I.C. of the event chart for Philadelphia, interpreted in a mundane manner, is then the "HOW" of the situation and it being the 11th deg of LIbra it was summarily defined by Rudhyar as, " ...of being able to transfer to the young generation the vast sum of knowledge accumulated by the past. [and that]... It deals at the intellectual level with the teaching of accumulated collective knowledge, and the problem posed by the acquisition of that knowledge. This is what INSTRUCTION means — a process not to be confused with 'education'. "
The M.C. of that event chart, in a mundane interpretaion, gave the "WHY" of the situation and that being the 11th of Aries, by Sabian Symbol "The Ruler Of A Nation", the "WHY" is explained in Rudhyars words as; "...the appearance of the (personal) ego as the central manifestation of a type of 'order' which transcends and seeks to rule the emotional and instinctual drives of the individual person.... ..., a desire for a larger type of integration has now emerged. It is no longer biological-impulsive (Aries 1°) or emotional-personal (Aries 6°), but social-collective and institutional. At this ego level, laws and the restrictive power of a police force are dominant features. Psychologically speaking, this means that the integrative principle is the limited, more or less narrow 'I am' realization. It manifests itself as the personal ego exerting its will to control the reactions of the bio-psychic organism.... ... [at this] stage of the...sequence of the cyclic process. It indicates a CENTRALIZATION OF POWER at the level of a rigidly structured consciousness."
I think everyone can easily see that this was [and still is] pretty much the gist of the entire 'Snowden affair'.
The Part of Fortune for that chart, although, must be applied in understanding to a spiritually evolutionary interpretation of the chart.
It just so happened to be the same as the Desc. which regardless of either form of interpretation is the "WHERE-TO" for all and it was a most compelling symbol to 'Take The High Road"...as in "The Road, or Path, to Higher Consciousness" or that of a Consecrated way of Lifestyle.
This event for Mercury returning to 'direct procession' today, cast for Philadelphia, produces a Part of Fortune for the moment of the event that is in the 11th degree of Aries.
This is especially interesting in that the Part of Fulfillment [derived from, Asc. + Mars - Venus ...which I believe, and am presently near totally convinced, that it should more properly be titled the Part of Obligation] for the zero hour natal chart of the USA is @ 10*
09' 04" and that there is a Grand Trine on the event involving Satun in the 5th of Scorpio, Neptune in the 5th of Pisces, Mars and Lilith in the 5th of Cancer and Jupiter in the 6th of Cancer [Jupiter's very same place in the natal chart of the USA. A Jupiter return, that is.]
To really, properly, analyze this event, it should be done in the same manner I've been posting threads on the Trans-Saturnian Planets these past few years that have been of such profound importance [and those analyses substantiated by the events that followed] to the United States. That "manner", being, of following and analyzing the three step process involved with the retrograde actions of a Planet. I, more or less loosely, termed these three steps as the "Impasse, the Trigger and the Release." as to the reversal in direction to retrograde, the return to direct motion and the ''Final Return" to the Planets' point of impasse
...and the concurrent Sabian Symbology for the North Node of the Moon at each point giving the 'Big Cosmic Why' of that moments' ephemeral meaning of all Astrological activity as to the 'Bigger Picture' of all Humankind, world wide.
...I'll try to get to more, if not, it all today, but it is now after 4:30 a.m. [and by this moment of actually posting this, it's nearly 5:30...Oy Vey! Where does the time go?} here in Calif. and besides the "Final return is still not until August 3rd. ... but check back, because this is definitely going ...
...to be cont. ...

I doubt that anyone is interested in the event chart for my locale.

06' 51", that is the 24th degree of Cancer and the Sabian Symbol for the 24th degree of Cancer represents the 'precept' that Mercury, in this instance being representative of the collective mind and means of communication of the citizens of the United States, has come to an 'impasse', concerning matters of further expression, communication, Freedom of the Press/Speech issues.
