All Amazing Articles

“Over the past few days I’ve been mentally running through a list of possible topics to write an Article about here. I was getting nowhere fast. So finally last night (Jan.14, 06) I got smart, moved down a bit to my heart, and asked (some would say intended or prayed) that I receive whatever it is that would benefit the most people at this moment as far as a topic goes. Only a couple of hours later this is what manifested first.

In Radu’s latest Editorial from the Astrology Weekly Newsletter Jan. 15-21, 2006 he asks, “Are we the person defined in our natal horoscope? Is that all a human being is all about?” And, “We are mentally confined to a single life perspective, but our soul, our deeper self knows much more than that.”

Only hours later I get my answer to last nights heart call for assistance and guidance! Another great question is….Who (from higher levels) helped Radu reconnect with speaking a foreign language, most probably a past life one for him, while asleep? Who made sure he had a physical witness in his wife being awake then to hear him? That I would read his Editorial first thing this morning? This is exactly how multidimensional reality works through and with each of us. Such complex multi-leveled interconnections and grand Creativity, that linear thinking simply can’t perceive or contain it.

Introduction to Byzantine Astrology
During the 5th and 6th centuries AD, Byzantium (the Eastern Roman Empire) boasted a host of astrologers: Hephaestion, Julian of Laodicea, “Proclus,” Rhetorius, and John Lydus. Though their works are singularly unoriginal compilations, they remain the major sources for an understanding of earlier Hellenistic astrology. By the end of the 6th century, however, the general decline of the Byzantine Empire’s intellectual life and the strong opposition of the church had combined to virtually obliterate astrology, though some practice of reading celestial omens survived in Byzantium as it did in western Europe. The science was revived only in the late 8th century and the 9th century under the impact of translations from Syriac and Arabic. The period from about 800 to 1200 was the most propitious for Byzantine astrology, though nothing was essentially added to astrological theories or techniques.

For instance, Manuel I Comnenus, emperor of the Byzantine Empire between 1143-1180, utilized astrology in his political and personal life, as well as supporting translations of occult literature in his court. When the Church Patriarch presented Manuel with a letter from a simple monk claiming that the astrological teaching was a sacrilege, Manuel could not allow a charge of heresy to be leveled against him. He composed a defense of astrology, asserting that it was compatible with Christian doctrine. Only as he became ill and eventually died in 1180, on the advice of Theodosius (Patriarch of Constantinople), he renounced to astrology.

Scorpio is ruled by the outer planet Pluto. Pluto rules the underworld, which can mean the depths of the human psyche; the underground elements of society; or Hell itself. Pluto has intense drive, and can obsessive-compulsively direct all its energies towards one goal or object. He also rules taboos, those parts of ourselves or society that we cast off because we find them offensive, sickly, disgusting. All the cast-offs of society are in Pluto’s domain. Pluto is also the god of the death-rebirth mysteries, the part of us that dies only to be resurrected in a higher form, like the phoenix rising from the ashes.

Over the course of Peter Jackson’s directing career, the arc of his expression of his Scorpio Sun has passed over much of the Plutonian realm. He first start directing gory movies like Bad Taste and Dead Alive; obviously the death element of Scorpio is evident in these movies. He directed the most scatological puppet movie I’ve ever seen, Meet the Feebles, which includes every possible despicable gross-out thing you can imagine, and many more you can’t imagine. Every conceivable bodily function is exploited.

Jackson also has Sun conjunct Neptune. Neptune rules the imagination, fantasy, and dreams, as well as sacrifice and martyrdom. He took a sudden twist with his next film Heavenly Creatures, which is about two adolescent schoolgirls in New Zealand who fall intensely in love with each other (Scorpio) and escape into their rich fantasy life (Neptune) to cope with the challenges of reality. One of the girls hates her mother, and the other cannot bear being once again abandoned by her parents while she recovers from tuberculosis. The film ends in murder because the two girls resist being separated from their parents.

These days we are living under the influence of a powerfull astrological configuration : the Grand Cross formed by Mars – Jupiter – Saturn and Neptun.

The Grand Cross consists of four or more planets spread at intervals of approximately 90° and two oppositions is formed in the chart. This configuration is a very stressing one because the energies of those 4 planets involved are forming hard aspects (quadratures and oppositions). The energy released by this configuration is very intense one and it may lead to all kinds of powerfull and changing events.

The current Grand Cross is already activated and the results are known to everyone.I’m reffering to the Hemel Hempstead oil depot explosion near London.

I’ve searched in the past (using Configuration Hunter Software ) to see if this Grand Cross occured before. And for my suprise in September 1926 the same Grand Cross was active for several days (from 12.09.1926 to 25.09.1926).

The 1926 Grand Cross took place in the same fixes signs as it follows: Mars in Taurus, Jupiter in Aquarius, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptun in Leo.

One of the most popular imports from Great Britain is the claymation of Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit, and co-director of the feature films Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Nick Park has won several Academy Awards. His work blends an amusing satire of noir, horror and jail escape films, with the masterful and innovative use of lighting and scenery in a form of animation often stuck at the level of Christmas TV specials.

The natal chart of the animator reflects the themes portrayed throughout his films. Nick Park expresses the stressful dynamics in his chart through his protagonists. He has a Mars-Jupiter-Uranus fixed T-Square, with Uranus at the apex. Sue Tompkins writes of Mars-Uranus aspects: “Some people, usually with the hard aspects, seem to have machinery, especially electrical machinery, forever cutting out on them, as if their own electricity is getting in the way of the circuit.”¹ Uranus rules technology, electricity, and sudden unexpected changes. A square from Mars excites and energizes this archetype. In this stressful combination, one’s desire to act on the world (Mars) conflicts with what one’s technology can handle (Uranus). Imagine a personal computer burning out after a surge in electricity; this aptly describes the recurrent technological failures in Park’s films.

Technology Gone Awry
Park’s most famous characters are Wallace and Gromit. Wallace is an eccentric bachelor who spends his time inventing novel contraptions; he has a penchant for cheese. Gromit is his mute canine companion, who is obviously the brighter of the bunch.
