Another Grand Sextile coming up!

A Grand Day Indeed
July 10, 2013
August 26, Grand Cross, Grand Sextile, Grand Square, Grand Trine, July 29
http://afoolsinclination.wordpress.c...nd-day-indeed/


A Grand Sextile is an amazingly interesting Astrological formation. It requires six participants. All of the angles are 60, 120, and 180 degrees. All signs are within two elements. It contains:

Sextiles (six)

Trines (six)
Kites (six)
Mystical Rectangles (three)
Oppositions (three)
Grand Trines (two)

A Grand Trine requires three participants. It contains three Trines and all angles are 120 degrees. All corners occupy the same element.

A Grand Square (or Grand Cross) requires four participants. All angles are 90 or 180 degrees and all corners are within the same cardinality. It contains:

Squares (four)
T-Squares (four)
Oppositions (two)

On July 29, 2013, we have a Grand Sextile and two T-Squares (shown above right). Notice that the sun and Uranus sit off of the Grand Sextile and form the 90 degree corners of the two T-Squares. The Grand Sextile holds only the elements water and earth. The T-Squares add fire. The entire chart lacks air.

Many Astrologers are talking about this Grand Sextile. But I have discovered something else that is even more intriguing to me. Consider this chart below.



Grand Sextile and Grand Square on August 26, 2013

If you only took a quick look, it seems the same. However this is the chart for 8/26/2013 – one lunar month after our first Grand Sextile. This time, a Grand Cross sits on top of it.

Venus in Libra moves off of the July Grand Sextile and in August creates the fourth corner of the Grand Square. She is the one participant in an air sign. Notice that she mediates between Pluto and Jupiter. Also notice that Pluto and Jupiter are the two points in common between the Grand Square and the Grand Sextile. This opposition is thus the most significant.

In my opinion, this day is far more interesting even than the 29th of July. Let’s see why.

Beginning with the Grand Sextile, I am going to start with Scorpio and work counter clock-wise:

Saturn in Scorpio is in Mutual Reception with Pluto in Capricorn. Each rules the other’s sign. They also aspect (Sextile). In a sense, they almost trade places and thus gain power from each other.
Neptune rules Pisces and is most powerful there.
The moon is exalted in Taurus. This is its second most powerful place to be. It is also conjunct the South Node of the moon.
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer.
Mercury rules Virgo.

Now, moving on to the Grand Square, we have two corners not in the above list:

Venus rules Libra.

The only planet not specifically in a place of power is Uranus. At least it is not in a weak place either.

The top half of the chart from Aries through Scorpio is stable. Notice that it changes only slightly between July 29th and August 26th.

The lower half from Taurus through Libra is more dynamic. The moon has to travel all the way around the zodiac to form the second Grand Sextile. Mars is replaced with Jupiter. The sun replaces Venus, and Venus moves into the Grand Square from the Grand Sextile.

I think if we are going to analyze the Grand Sextile on 7/29, we have to also analyze the Grand Sextile on 8/26. They are bookends. The Grand Sextile comes and goes quickly (because of the moon), but the fact that it returns is important.

That’s enough for today. I’m going to let information flow in over time…

Why Enlightenment Takes Time

Enlightenment means different things to different people; most of us have different versions of what it is and how it occurs. In some descriptions it happens in an instant, perhaps as a realization of something, or as a result of doing a certain practice, or by a divine intervention. What the term means to me is the ancient and even timeless universal process of the return of consciousness to its source. Although there are different versions of enlightenment, that’s fine, it’s just worth recognizing that we don’t all necessarily mean the same thing when we say it...

Connections Between Michael Hastings, Edward Snowden and Barrett Brown—

The War With the Security State ...

At the time of his death in a mysterious one-car crash and explosion, journalist Michael Hastings was researching a story that threatened to expose powerful entities and government-connected figures. That story intersected with the work of two controversial government critics—the hacker Barrett Brown and the on-the-run surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden. Any probe into Hastings’s untimely death needs to take into account this complex but essential background...

1. Greek Mythology The Elysian Fields.

2. A place or condition of ideal happiness

Definition of Elysium: I did a search.....

Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that evolved over time and was maintained by certain Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was initially reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Okeanos.[1] In the time of the Greek oral poet Hesiod, Elysium would also be known as the Fortunate Isles or the Isles (or Islands) of the Blessed, located in the western ocean at the end of the earth.[1][7][8] The Isles of the Blessed would be reduced to a single island by the Thebean poet Pindar, describing it as having shady parks, with residents indulging their athletic and musical pastimes.[1][2]

The ruler of Elysium varies from author to author: Pindar and Hesiod name Cronus as the ruler,[9] while the poet Homer in the Odyssey describes fair-haired Rhadamanthus dwelling there.[6][7][10][11]

COURTNEY BROWN: ATLANTIS & EARTH CHANGES

"Dr. Courtney Brown will discuss two important and recently completed projects done at The Farsight Institute. The first is the successful conclusion of the 2008-2013 Climate Project, where remote viewers working at The Farsight Institute correctly described five years in advance extraordinary climate change that is still ongoing today as well as once-in-a-lifetime potentially devastating meteor events that were completely unknown to mainstream science in 2008. Dr. Brown will also give new insights and evidence suggesting how the Climate Project data may have been used by human authorities to alter our timeline. The second project is the riveting new Atlantis Project that describes in unprecedented detail the final days of a past technologically advanced human civilization on Earth that destroyed itself entirely. This is the first detailed look this ancient civilization that uses military-grade remote viewing combined with explicit Google Earth imagery to show the daily lives of the people in that society, how they witnessed their own destruction, exactly what they did exactly to destroy their world, and why we are unambiguously their descendents. Secrecy cloaked science destroyed our world in the past, and we are repeating those same mistakes today. Now is the time to learn from our past."

Be Spiritual but Don't Be a Sheep... and Other Lessons Learnt on the Path

"I began my spiritual path somewhat reluctantly. In fact I always joke that I got bitch-slapped into it by the universe. Five years ago I had a particularly messy break up, followed by a period of partying that added more chaos and confusion into my life but did nothing to ease the pain. Then I had a health scare and had to have an operation. When I came to from the operation (admittedly whilst high on morphine) I decided it was time I shook my life up, in a healthy way. My goal was to feel happier and find some kind of inner peace that I was desperately lacking.

I started off with self-help books and seminars and meditation. I began the painful process of unravelling my ego and understanding how and why I had created a reality that I didn’t want in many areas of my life. I started to take responsibility and to change. It has been, and continues to be, a difficult and often painful process which has required immense internal work. However as I have healed internally my life has healed and improved externally. Don’t get me wrong, life is far from perfect. In fact, it is perfectly imperfect with continual new challenges that force me to change and grow. But now I embrace the challenges and no longer feel like I am trying to swim against a stream and perhaps as a result I am happier than I have ever been.

Since embarking on my journey I have read a wide range of literature from different spiritual leaders and schools of thought. I have attended lectures and courses led by different organisations. I am curious by nature and love to learn from different sources and to garner new perspectives. I have met some fascinating and frankly bonkers people along the path, some of whom have become life long friends. I have also had some truly mystical, inexplicable experiences that have cemented my faith that there is so much more to our world and our existences than first meets the eye and then we will probably ever really know. But it hasn’t all been peace and love. As I have navigated my own path I have also noted the dark side of spirituality and witnessed first hand how seeking such a path can actually have a negative impact upon the spiritual seeker. Below is a summary of just a few of the lessons I have learnt on my path. As always, as a work in progress, I am sure there will be many more lessons as my journey continues.

1) My way or the highway. Many spiritual organisations can be absolutely zealous that their particular method/spiritual path is the only way or the best way. Frankly this is bull****. As the saying goes there are several different ways to skin a cat and the same applies to the path of enlightenment – there are several different ways and journeys for each person. What works for one person doesn’t work for another and vice versa. And a truly spiritual person or organisation will not pressure or coerce anyone into committing to their path. Frankly some of the happiest and most enlightened people I know are those who learn from numerous sources and use a variety of different teachings and tools on their path.

2) Beware the spiritual sheep. Similar to the my way or the highway crew there are people on a spiritual path who are zealous, almost fanatical in their beliefs. They have found their guru, their church, their group, whatever it is and they simply can’t help but bang on about it to all and sundry. They are easy to spot as they tend to repeat verbatim and almost robotically what their teacher/preacher/guru espouses. Interestingly I have found that the spiritual sheep are the people who change the least, whose lives improve the least and who contribute the least to wider society. They are normally too busy preaching. Parallels can even be drawn between spiritual sheep and religious zealots. Steer clear and be wary of becoming one yourself.

3) Pedestals are dangerous. It is easy through gratitude and excitement to place a spiritual leader, mentor or teacher on a pedestal. They’ve helped you. You are grateful. You feel that they hold the key to your happiness and answers to your problems. Don’t do it. It is unfair, unhealthy and dangerous. If they are less than honourable (and yes it happens, even with in spirituality) then they could take advantage of you. And even if honourable and enlightened, they are people just like the rest of us. They will make mistakes, say or do the ‘wrong’ thing and will come tumbling down off the pedestal. This could then negate the valuable lessons you have learnt from them and impact upon your future interaction which wouldn’t be the case if you hadn’t put them on a pedestal in the first place. If you want to put anyone on a pedestal put yourself up there. You are the most important person in your life and you are equipped to be the creator of your own life. All the people on the path are simply there to assist you to be able to be your own guru.

4) Things do not change. We change. Life through our own distorted lens can seem unfair at times. It can seem that some people experience great miracles and blessings in their lives whereas others don’t. But we only see half the picture. We often have no idea of the internal struggles and journeys that other people go on and what was truly going on behind the scenes and internally for their external lives to change for the better. We all have desires and aspirations, professional and personal. But if we don’t change internally we cannot receive what is meant for us. Even if we did miraculously receive it, it is likely that it would all go a bit tits up because without internal change we wouldn’t be best placed to be able to handle our heart’s desires. Getting the right thing at the wrong time can end in tears. They say be careful what you wish for. I say stop wishing for things and start working. On yourself. And your life WILL change for the better at the right time.

5) Balance is key. All the navel gazing and hard work that comes with a spiritual path can lead to a very serious demeanour. But if you are in it for long haul (and I think that anyone that commits to leading a truly spiritual life needs to accept that it is a life long journey) then that is a long time. It is as important to have fun, be silly, do the things that make you happy – they may not be changing the world, they may not be changing your life or your character in that moment but don’t let that detract from their importance in providing much needed balance in your life.

6)Sickly sweet does not necessarily equate to being spiritual. I always scratch my head at the people who embark upon a spiritual path and feel they have to be sickly sweet to all and sundry to prove how spiritual they are. I'm not saying that a kind good mannered attitude isn't a preferred modus operandi and call me a grumpy stubborn cow (many have) but I think there is a degree of dis-ingenuity that comes with affected sweetness. Syrupy sweetness does not make you a better or more spiritual person if you aren't changing the specific things that you need to for your own personal growth.

7) Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. I don't think being spiritual means losing your personality and the essence of what makes you the unique person you are. I have seen too many people change the essence of themselves in a bad way, to fit in with what they think is the spiritual version of themselves only to then be miserable. Become a better version of yourself sure, but hold onto who you are.

8) Things often get worse before they get better. True spirituality, in my humble view, is not about a quick fix or feeling good the whole time. It involves taking a hard, often painful look at oneself and deep internal change. My experience has been that things often get harder before they get better and that as you uncover the layers of spiritual garbage in your life a whole heap of other crap gets brought to the surface. This is painful and far from the zen state that we all seek but by working through it you will find a release from the past and a form of tranquility."
