First Day of the Sixth Night of the Galactic Underworld

2009 Fall Equinox

by Barbara Hand Clow

The Fall Equinox has arrived. For about a day, the planetary species fall into harmony amidst resonant airwaves flowing from the Equator to the Poles. Earth's tilt is balanced with the Sun, as the Sun moves into 0 degrees Libra and seems to hover over the Equator. Tune in carefully! This is the ideal moment to consider your current path in light of the larger field, the collective mind. If only you could see how your thoughts create your world, you would cleanse your mind and clarify your feelings with positive thoughts based on responsible intentions.

Let's recall your spring 2009 intentions. If they have deepened and matured during the summer, now the moment has arrived to balance them with everything else in your life. So, how are you doing with this year's creations? Is there one or another that does not seem to be happening? If so, should you drop it or find a new way to look at how it could come into your life? What could you do to balance things in your life so that creating this intention can happen? For most people, the early fall is an industrious time, as jobs begin and children go back to school. Perhaps your intentions have been happening in subtle ways, and now they are ready to become more dominant in your life? What matters is to activate new habits or patterns this fall sometime before the Winter Solstice. The chart for this Fall Equinox is very active, so during the fall, many latent ideas may suddenly just pop into form.

Newly direct Pluto in Capricorn exactly squares the Sun in 0 Libra, a resounding announcement that the deep structural change processes are in gear again. Pluto turned direct on 9-11-09, a thought-provoking series of numbers since 9-11-01 symbolizes the first dimension, and 9-11-09 the ninth. On 9-11-09, the US Coast Guard staged a practice response to a feigned attack on the Potomac right near where Obama was speaking at Arlington National Cemetery. This stunt was broadcast by CNN as a potential terrorist attack, just to make sure Americans endured their daily dose of fear! Uranus in Pisces widely opposes the equinox Sun, putting Pluto into the top of a T-square to the Sun/Uranus opposition. Thus, spiritual solutions will play an important role in the changes this fall, since Capricorn is one of the most spiritual signs in the Zodiac. The goat is relentless and has the fortitude to climb mountains to attain his goals because the Sun/Uranus tension activates the structural power of newly direct Pluto in Capricorn.

Basic structures in our world are being radically reformulated while Pluto is in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. Since Pluto exactly squares the Sun during this Fall Equinox (which occurs right after the third Saturn/Uranus opposition on September 15), this fall is the real beginning of the great changes on Earth. Understanding the themes of the 2008-10 Saturn/Uranus oppositions offers much insight into how events may play out, so I will take a moment to discuss this again. Recall that the first opposition was November 4, 2008, exactly when Obama was elected, so we can be sure he is a theme on his own as the first black American to be president. Going back to the previous Saturn/Uranus oppositions in the mid-1960s, anger against racism and war was coming from youth and the radical left, and Obama's election has been somewhat of a resolution for them, except that he continues on in Afghanistan. Now, we are in the middle of the third Saturn/Uranus opposition and in the US we are seeing late-summer demonstrations by conservatives against universal health care and expanding deficits. Thus, I think the anger is coming from the radical right in America this time. They got what they wanted during the Bush/Cheney reign-war and protection for America above all else, and easy money-and now they feel Obama is taking their money and protection away; we may be seeing the seeds of a conservative revolution in the States.

Meanwhile, the great financial shakeup from 2007 until now was merely a precursor quake that gave the people in power a chance to grab more of the people's money. I will read this chart looking for aspects that can help us each see how we can best play our roles in this grand endeavor. After many years of celebrating all four seasons, I've noticed the equinoxes open multidimensional portals, while the solstices help us focus our practical work in 3D. The seventh dimension (7D) is especially available during the equinoxes because 7D is the dimension of sound (and light) frequencies that create realities in 3D. There is great potential to restructure our world in positive ways right now because this is a good time to ask for spiritual guidance, which will be very available.

Our guide for harmony is Venus in early Virgo, which elegantly trines Pluto in Capricorn. This receptive and earthy trine from the goddess emphasizes the importance of feminine agreement when society transforms. This is interesting because there has been little feminine support for war as the dominant tool for societal control during the last 5,125 years; women have barely tolerated men's war games. Venus in Virgo is healing and grounded, and her trine to Pluto suggests that feminine guidance will play a major role this fall as the reeling colossus-America as empire-unravels and collapses. This trine will inspire many people to consider their true values, especially when they lose their homes and income, while the empire sends more troops off to unknown lands, as if they are the disposable elements of overpopulation.

The Moon in Scorpio is very heavily aspected during the Fall Equinox, which means we are really going to feel the changes this fall. In fact, feelings will dominate everything soon, and feelings are usually what break down mind-control programs. In the past, humor was often the first element to break down unwanted patterns, yet nothing is very funny right now amidst the carnage and pain. Mars in Cancer trines the Moon, insuring that strong and watery feelings will be very dominant during a great emotional wave of consciousness that will flow while old worlds pass away. Saturn conjunct Mercury retrograde in 25 Virgo sextiles the Moon. The great emotional depth of the Moon in Scorpio will be supported by intelligent control and full awareness of just what is happening. Uranus in Pisces is in close opposition to stalwart Saturn/Mercury; the third opposition just occurred on September 15, and the high degree of stress in world societies continues to be worrisome. Yet, during the Fall Equinox, Uranus in Pisces trines the Moon in Scorpio, so on some level, the masses of people will accept the changes that they feel must come.

The Triple conjunction-Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius-closely squares the Moon in Scorpio, and this potent square will set off a great emotional release that will build and build this fall. As the most intense lunar placement, the Moon in Scorpio either destroys everything in its path, or it drives people into integrity by forcing them to seek ethical ways in spite of the inevitable evil, death, and abandonment that accompanies an earthly lifetime. The Moon in Scorpio drives us to face the truth about our selves and others. The square to the Scorpio Moon coming from the three planets in the Triple Conjunction pushes us to face deep wounding and spiritual desolation. It fills some with the desire to improve, others to cry out to the heavens for answers. Perhaps this configuration will finally force people to rebel against this "Age of Flying Body Parts"-a crazy world in which precious resources are used to blow people up. Next, high-tech triage medicine plays on the edge of life forcing damaged bodies to keep on going while families suffer and drug manufacturers play golf with the doctors. The world has moved into a nightmare zone from which it soon must awake. Perhaps the influence over the next three months of the Moon in Scorpio squaring the Triple Conjunction at this time is what could trigger massive rebellion against the current culture of suffering and death.

Mercury combust Saturn in Virgo, just after Saturn's exact opposition to Uranus in Pisces, screams that awareness and the demand for change will win the struggle, but how? The key is Mars in Cancer exactly quincunx Jupiter in Aquarius, and this aspect is the real pusher in the Fall Equinox chart. As mentioned, Mars in Cancer is very strong and demanding because Cancer is the strongest sign; Mars is the strongest planet, and together they will run with the ball to the end zone. So, this nervous quincunx to idealistic Jupiter in Aquarius will cause people to deeply question destroying the rest of the planet's resources for war and mayhem. Then when Jupiter goes direct on October 14, the forces needed to stop this destruction will kick into gear. I am not alluding to something like an anti-war movement, since the mercenary army has made that impossible. Instead, since Mars in Cancer quincunxes Jupiter in Aquarius, war will end the way it usually does, by financial bloodletting and exhaustion. Maybe people will begin to think about the costs of F-16s, stealth bombers, and Hummers when they are forced to buy florescent bulbs containing mercury that won't fit their old light fixtures.

The lunar North Node has moved into Capricorn where it will be until March 4, 2011, which is just after the opening of the Universal Underworld when we experience the final time acceleration. This assures us that hard reality is settling in now, and only the most practical methods will suffice. The North Node in Capricorn strips away frivolity and waste, forcing us to get back to basics. Yes, what I am saying is: We will see war greatly reduced this fall, or conversely an insane escalation will end up burning itself up in a fiery holocaust. Peace and love in the heart of each individual is going to be the only thing that can help us during this extreme time coming very shortly. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer will give us strength while we experience the intensity of Moon in Scorpio. This fall is a time when we must see the truth above all else.

The influence of a season lasts for three months, and this chart sets a field in place that has strong influence until the Winter Solstice. As dire as this reading may sound, the turn to a new direction will be a relief. So, as this potent harmonic moves in, move into your heart and visualize peace on Earth and freedom from war and peace for all beings on the planet, and remember to breathe. This is a harmonic designed to move Earth into balance with the universe. The strength in your heart will support those who are directly caught in this insane mess. It is always hard to stop and turn around and go in a new direction, but now is the time.

9.9.9 and the Mayan Calendar

by Carl Johan Calleman

The number nine has been endowed with a special significance in many different spiritual and religious traditions. Nine was the number of muses in Greek mythology and Nine were the number of worlds in the Scandinavian. Nine was the number of doors to the holiest part of the temple in Jerusalem and the month of Ramadan is the Ninth in the Muslim calendar. Moreover, the counting system used by most of the world today includes nine numbers and so the relevance of this number is much ingrained in us. Also, in the Mayan tradition the number Nine plays a predominating role. The only existing inscription from ancient times that discusses the meaning of the Mayan calendar “end date” for instance speaks of Nine “deities” that will descend then as its crucial event. This would in modern wording mean that Nine energies, or Nine cosmic forces would fully manifest then since the ancient Maya would look upon time periods as “deities”. As far as we can tell these “deities”, or cosmic forces, are like evolutionary wave movements, built on top of one another where we are currently riding on the eighth one getting ready to ride on the ninth.

The Nine Cosmic levels (Underworlds) that according to the only existing Mayan inscription about the calendar end date (Tortuguero monument 6) will manifest then. Currently we are in the eighth level (The Galactic Underworld) gearing up to the Ninth and highest level, the Universal Underworld. Photo of the Pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal by the author.)

In the manifestation of these evolutionary waves we may now as we approach the Ninth level notice an amazing synchronicity. This is that the upcoming date 9.9.9 (September 9, 2009 in the Gregorian calendar) happens to coincide with the beginning of a Mayan Sacred Calendar count of 260 days. Hence, in this calendar, in use since 3000 years, the modern date 9.9.9 has the energy of Hun Imix, or 1 Alligator as its English translation reads, which happens to be the first of its energetic combinations. If we ponder what this synchronicity may be telling us the most natural conclusion to draw is that on this particular date we are called to focus on the number nine and especially the Ninth level of the Mayan calendar system, whose coming into existence we are soon about to witness.

I believe that behind these cosmic forces, whose times of activation are described by the Mayan calendar, is an intelligent plan for the history of humanity that comes from a higher source and has a benevolent intention. To realize this is also to understand the importance of the guidance regarding how to follow this plan that we may gain from the calendar of the Maya. These nine cosmic forces are influencing and in fact governing our collective consciousness and so we have every reason to pay attention to what is going on in this cosmic time plan.

Synchronicities can often be interpreted in different ways, but if they are profound they always deserve our attention. 9.9.9, three Nines in a row, may for instance be seen as symbolic of three sacred calendar rounds of 260 days that will now in three steps lead us to the completion of the Ninth level of evolution which is its highest level. To the best of our knowledge this highest energy state of the universe will be attained on the energy 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13 13 Ahau (13 and Ahau are symbols of completion in the Mayan calendar) on the Gregorian date October 28, 2011. This highest state does not in any sense mean the end of the world, but only that all the Nine wave movements are then completed. Maybe we can use the metaphor that we are now about to climb the last hard steps of a ladder until we climb on to the roof where we will find a new stability under our feet and a place to rest.

Regardless of what this final climb will mean we thus have reasons to expect an unprecedented period of change in a very short period of time. This is partly because we are entering the final phase of the eighth level of evolution and partly because a wave movement of a very high frequency, the Ninth level, will radically come to transform the collective consciousness in such a way that we will see the world in an entirely different light. It is for this reason that in the three upcoming Sacred Calendar rounds that follow upon 9.9.9 we will need to network and focus our intentions so that they converge in the birth of a new world. This is all the more important as there are several sources that seem to indicate that the sixth night of the Galactic Underworld, beginning on November 8, 2009, may come to generate a deep downturn in the world’s economy.

The first of these 260-day Sacred Calendar rounds, the one which actually begins on 9.9.9 and goes on until May 26, 2010, may be seen as a period of build-up to the Ninth level that is suitable for prayer, meditation and mental focusing. We encourage community building, networking and spiritual synchronization in this time period, also of a practical nature. The second 260 calendar round, starting 27.05.10 will create a preliminary arrival of the Ninth level and the beginning of this will be marked by the Cosmic Convergence, July 17-18, a significant focus point for spiritual projects of a practical nature that will prepare for the birth of a new world. The third Sacred Calendar round of 260 days will begin February 11, 2011 and includes the actual activation of the Ninth level, the Universal Underworld on March 8, 2011. This may be the most dramatic of the three steps as it leads up to the establishment of the highest energy state of the universe on October 28, 2011.

I believe that through these three steps, three Sacred Calendar rounds, starting on 9.9.9: 1/ Build-up, 2/ Preparatory Ninth level and 3/ Actual Ninth level of the evolution of the cosmos, the universe is now about to deliver what it has been striving towards all along, the establishment of a new level of consciousness, a unity consciousness. I also believe that the Ninth level is designed especially to generate such a unity consciousness, which will transform all of human society. For the human race it will mean very big challenges and opportunities. These changes will however not happen by themselves and need to be manifested by the human beings themselves who may then chose to resist or welcome them. From this perspective we may thus look at the date 9.9.9 not only as a numerological curiosity to celebrate, but also as an opportunity for us to focus on and embrace the participation of humanity in a transformation process of a very large scale, the one brought by the Ninth level of the Cosmos.

From what we may understand of the Mayan calendar the unity consciousness will set an end to all forms of dominance of one human over another and especially those generated by the left brain. What this likely will mean is that instruments of dominance, such as the current financial system, weapons, national borders and many other structures upholding authority in this process will come to crumble as an effect of this unity consciousness coming into existence and so conclude with the birth of a new world where a divine harmony characterize the human relations. This end to dominance will also affect the relationship between the genders on a global scale that as a result will profoundly shift. Needless to say, there will never be any return to business as usual. Instead we will need to approach the birth of the new world consciously and with an intention of co-creating it in a positive sense and not just react to the various difficulties that lie ahead. I believe that such a collective intention of co-creating the new world will be the best way of easing the consequences of these difficulties.

Although what is starting on 9.9.9 is only the build-up phase to the Ninth level, this date is nonetheless a very important focusing point since the timing of the continued preparations for the emergence of this level are of the essence. From this follows that the more practical projects that will start to manifest in the Cosmic Convergence, July 17-18 2010 as the name implies, will have to be based on an understanding that the very framework of the human existence and of consciousness will be dramatically expanded. The expansion of human consciousness is what will bring the socio-economic transformation at a time when the hardships of the old systems may be expected to be painfully felt also by nations that currently may been considered as wealthy. As the Ninth level is finally activated our identities will come to be defined in a much expanded spiritual framework.

This article comes much too late to encourage people more broadly to focus and intend together for the future. Nonetheless, many will celebrate the 9.9.9 date regardless (see for example http://www.fredpajorden.se/sida21.html ). The purpose of my present article is then only to inform those that will be celebrating this date anyway, that indeed this is not just a numerological curiosity in the Gregorian calendar, but that the date plays a profound objective role in the cosmic plan as we may understand this from the Mayan calendar directly leading up to the birth of a new world through the Ninth level, 9.9.9. It is an ideal time to participate in prayers and meditations with the focus and intention of co-creating a new and better world. Additional tools for networking and communication with the focus on the Cosmic Convergence, July 17-18, 2012 will be developed as we go along. 9.9.9 may be seen as an initial and modest initial call for the co-creation of the birth of a new world.

Tarot Card Reading on the Swine Flu Outcome

This is a repeat of a post I put out in April. Back then I was curious as to the outcome of the Swine Flu debacle and this is what came out in the reading. It still seems very valid as we approach the so-called flu-season:

1. The Main Question - Tower (reversed)
Things will never be the same. Tyranny. Upheaval. Injustice. A shocking or disruptive influence is coming to an end but will leave people in shock.

2. How Will Events Unfold? - Two of Cups
A spirit of cooperation exists. A resolution of problems.

3. What will have the greatest bearing on the problem? - Page of Wands
Daring action. Vitality. New ideas.

4. What will be the greatest influence on the problem? - King of Wands
A decisive leader will take over. A man who is loyal, committed to a monogamous relationship and family life. A skilled communicator.

5. The Resolution - The Devil
Those involved with greed and money will be exposed.

Don't Inject Me

SONG LYRICS

The swine flu's comin' back
like a viral attack
It's like '76, you gotta cover ya back
But not with a vaccine don't give in to that
Because those medical quacks
are makin money off that
They wanna inject you, infect you with the vaccine
They say they protect but they reject your immunity
And if you protest they arrest you and they lock you down
Can't have people like that walkin' around

Contagious
The truth is outrageous
Don't you know the drug companies made this flu
And if you're thinkin' you wanna evade this
Then you gotta say this

Don't inject me
Don't infect me
Don't stick that needle in my arm and chemically wreck me

Don't inject me
Don't infect me
Don't stick that needle in my veins and medically wreck me

Don't use me
Don't abuse me
Don't push your medical lies and try to confuse me

Don't trick me
Don't you dick me
With that needle in ya hand don't you dare try to prick me

Don't you know the swine flu is made by man
Pharmaceutical scam
It's all part of the Big Brother population plan
But the thing I don't understand
is why they in Mexico City
in an unmarked military van

They don't want you to see the remedies
you can stop influenza with vitamin D for free
Herbal medicine is all that you need
But they can't charge a fifty dollar fee

Unless
They inject you
They infect you
They stick that needle in your arm
and chemically wreck you

They use you
They abuse you
They say they're saving your life while they really confuse you

All you parents grab your kids
And shoot 'em up just like guinea pigs
Inject your teens and your babies in the crib
And when they get paralyzed
That's when you realize
There's no way to undo what you did

The big drug companies are makin' a killing
Collectin' the billions and gettin' away like a James Bond villain
cause they're willin' to do almost anything
Just to make money with the flu vaccine

Perseid Meteor Shower

Space Weather News for August 11, 2009
http://spaceweather.com

The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak. The show begins after sunset on Tuesday, August 11th, and continues until the sun rises on Wednesday, August 12th. A time of particular interest is 0800-0900 GMT (1-2 a.m. PDT) on the 12th. That's when Earth is expected to pass through a denser-than-usual filament of dust from Perseid parent Comet Swift-Tuttle. Forecasters are unsure what will happen, but some have speculated that meteor rates could surge as high as 200 per hour. Bright moonlight will blot out many of those Perseids, but even a fraction of 200 is a good show.
