Lunar Node moves into Pisces June 22

Please re-read '2006 Spiritual Shift' in the previous postings for more information on the passage of the Collective North Node of Human Destiny into the sign of Pisces.

Today the North Node lingers at 0Aries - the birth of the zodiac cycle. We stand at the beginning and ending of it all. Symbolic indeed.

The Sabian Symbol for 0Aries (we always round up in Sabian) is: (the first is the more modern the latter is the more traditional)

"Rebel commander leads a charge down the gangplank of a huge warship"

(BBC News: US warship built from 911 steel and Navy warship saves two fisherman - (pisces)


"A Woman Just Risen From The Sea; A Seal Is Embracing Her"

Since the South Node is directly opposite (showing Humanities Karmic Past and what is to be tied up and let go of, resolved) we read for 0Libra:

"A white butterfly being chased by a child with a butterfly net is suddenly transfixed by a beam of light"

"In A Collection Of Perfect Specimens Of Many Biological Forms, A Butterfly Displays The Beauty Of Its Wings, Its Body Impaled By A Fine Dart"

What can we make of these symbols - as we move out of the Aries/Libra (fire/air) polarity collectively.

Well we are clearly moving away from the focus on curtailing freedoms - the idea of a butterfly net and children smacks of innocence, and civil liberties have of course of late been hammered by ridiculous draconian laws put in place by the fueled fires of chaos and fear instilled in the collective in the wake of the unfolding (and in my opinion fabricated) ''war on terror'".


The North Node poised at the critical Zero Point - 0Aries today, we arrive at the conclusion of this period, back at the beginning so to speak so it'll be interesting to see what manifests itself today. I'll check over the news and report back.

We can see by the symbols of the North Node the idea of the 'warship' - so we really do have to stand and decide what we are fighting for/against and if it's worth all this fighting anyway. The idea of the seal embracing the woman seems to represent forgiveness - since seals were often reports in seal-clubbing stories, they represented the wounded innocent again, the child/butterfly/war victims reaching out and touching us. We emerge from the sea (emotional depths) and see with crystal clarity the impact of our actions.

Prisoners are now being released from government prisons since news came out they were being abused. And I heard today on the news that massacres in Iraq clearly point to the military intentionally killing countless innocent children and families. We cannot ignore this now, and the tide is surely turning.

So what can we expect now the in the next day the North Node will move into another degree of the zodiac and a totally different sign?

The symbols for 29Pisces (since the Nodes move backwards) of our Collective Destiny is to experience:

"A prisoner in a chain gang is driven down a cliff-side road by a guard with a gun. Realizing that his shackles are too lose to hold him, he escapes up a gully toward a little settlement on the mountainside."

"A Majestic Rock Formation Resembling A Face Is Idealized By A Boy Who Takes It As His Ideal Of Greatness, And As He Grows Up, Begins To Look Like It."

Two very different ideas of our new focus. What could they mean? The first reminds me of the current Immigration debarcle - is the person scaling a border, boundary? Is this a victim of the war crimes being perpetrated by governments across the globe, finally escaping and finding freedom? Does it represent the collective's new freedom about to be experienced when we realize we no longer need to be "shackled" by the laws of the land that are not FOR us but are clearly a manipulated distortion of our true rights as humans? If the 'gang' in the symbol is those who represent true freedom-fighters on the planet, then the symbol could truly show the ensuing police state and the realization of what we have created and the subsequent breaking free by people. Guns won't stop us, is the symbol here, which is a fantastic sign after a year focused on Aries warlike energies.

As for the second symbol of our Collective Destiny - this reminds me of Mount Rushmore (faces carved in stones) and also Easter Island (stones with faces that no one knows much about, where they came from or how they got there). In some ways the symbol is like a boy growing up to be President, could this be the US president as a child? The 'ideal of greatness' seems to represent someone looking at the Founding Fathers ideals and finally making these a reality? This would be the more positive manifestation of this. Maybe the youth of these times will revert to the older traditions and meanings of 'Freedom'.

Easter Island would represent the more spiritual and magical forces at work in the world and this is our new collective focus. I anticipate a LOT of events that NO ONE will be able to explain away - was there a 'divine hand' in the course of events. Does Nature have a 'Plan'. We'll soon be baffled back into "believing" there is more to this life than we have been told.

And finally - our Collective Karmic Past - what we will be forced to resolve, tie up, let go of and understand. At 29Virgo the symbol is:

"A writer, unable to work because a group of hoodlums is blasting a radio on the street, pulls out a pistol and walks to the window. Thinking better of it, he puts the pistol away and sets off to find a quieter place"

"Totally Intent Upon Completing An Immediate Task, A Man Is Deaf To Any Allurement"

I love these symbols and represent a great opportunity for humanity. Firstly, the idea of walking away to find a quieter place and not resorting to violence is truly what we should be focusing on now, and the potential is there. MOVE AWAY FROM VIOLENCE as an answer this symbol is screaming. Of course, perhaps there'll be more violence before people understand this is not an acceptable answer. Let's hope not, but keep in mind this symbol and our moving headlong into it.

Being deaf to any allurement is, to me, kinda like not having our head so far in the sand (or up our own @$$) to be blinded by what is happening. So again, not being caught up in illusion, media or otherwise. We need to stop being so enticed, seduced and manipulated by what others want us to believe. As a collective this is our karma to tie up - to be deaf to anything but the truth we know inside - and refuse to stand for anything on the outside that represents the writer firing the gun.

Moving towards something more peaceful. I like that so why not end on that note.

The next day or so is an important time, but of course time is relative - and we are urged to look at the sign of PISCES as our messenger. Spirituality and Compassion - that we are all born of water and we are part of the seas and oceans of our current times and tides - and that just as pollution in one stream, affects the rivers and ponds, no continent is unaffected by what happens now - we are all ONE and we cannot escape this any longer.

What will we do with this knowledge? As WATER becomes a major focus, we'll see and be forced to act to stop pollution (in our emotional collective and our physical collective) - will water be our collective Tears of Joy or Pain?

As milk clouds a glass of water, and pollution effects the rain, water supplies, and blood viruses represent our disconnection and fear of each other and the vampire like effect of Fear, the turning tide will put us back in touch with our innate spirituality.

The Karmic Node Node moves into Pisces July 22nd - 23rd and begins its passage through the sign of the Fish - reminding us of the Piscean Age of sacrifice, martyrs, addicts, saviours, healers, magicians, saints and all the things that make up this sign.

Keep swimming and if the noise outside gets too loud, pick up your pen, put down your pistol and go find "a quieter place to be".

Love,
Neil
