That&#8217;s another way of saying UTC (coordinated universal time). Anywhere to the west of there and we are talking sometime late yesterday. If it&#8217;s to the east of zero degrees longitude (also called the Greenwich Meridian) the Full Moon would be sometime after 1:30 am. Of course the twain does indeed meet 12 hours earlier or later (depending on which direction you go) at the international date line that weaves like a drunken sailor from the Arctic to the Antarctic in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you look at your vampire movie calendar you might see that the Full Moon was yesterday. If you then look at your insurance company calendar that pegs it for today, that&#8217;s the unusually uncertain for you. Astrologically it will be one thing after another. Psychologically, things may seem to happen fast. Strategically the plan is to step back and not get too invested in outcome because it will even out. That&#8217;s where certainty will ultimately  be found. Knowing that whipsaw oscillations will find stability and the long term big picture will prevail.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the reason we&#8217;ll start our week with a review of the cardinal t-square. There&#8217;s a lot more going on. This blog could take the form of a laundry list of aspects and transits. But that would only add to the unusual uncertainty and who needs that besides some pathetic suit trying to cover his backside? The cardinal t-square. That&#8217;s our framework for a long term picture right now. Nuances come and go but the scaffold lasts for years. That way we&#8217;ll get a leg up on the befuddled chairman.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To help you visualize it, draw a circle. Now, draw a line through the circle to cut it in half. Draw another line perpendicular to cut the circle in half the other way. You now have a cross inside a circle. Think of the four sections  as the seasons. The four lines in the cross are where each season begins. Call those lines cardinal points. The progression of the seasons is the counter-clockwise motion of the Sun from one cardinal point to another. It takes a year for the Sun to go around that circle. It takes about a month for the Moon. As for the planets, that depends how far away from the Sun they are.<\/p>\n<p>Some planets seem to move slowly because they are very far away from the Sun. Right now all but one of the big, slow moving planets and some of the small slow-moving planets have something in common. They are gathered very near the lines that form the cross inside the circle. Actually,  three of those lines. That&#8217;s where the &#8220;T&#8221; in t-square comes from. This has been going on for over two years. It will continue for years to come, partly because these planets move slowly and because they have been going back and forth over these lines as if reluctant to venture far away.<\/p>\n<p>Now, even if you don&#8217;t give a pigeon poop about astrology, you gotta admit that&#8217;s pretty strange. After all, the planets are just big balls of rock or gas that go around the Sun in the same way every day, year after year for billions of years. It&#8217;s not like a murder of crows gathered around a road kill. It&#8217;s not like a herd of cows all facing the same way. It&#8217;s not like a school of fish or a flock of birds all turning at the same time. Planets don&#8217;t have a purpose or intent. Their motions are not elective. So when their positions relative to one another form a pattern it means something. Not because the planets in their patterns are causing something. Not because something is causing the patterns. Not at all. Rather it&#8217;s because they are indicating something. Indicating the progress and status of other cycles and patterns. Don&#8217;t believe it? That&#8217;s ok. Belief is not required, simply observation. The more you watch cycles and patterns of all kinds, the more you will see that they are synchronized. Try it. You&#8217;ll be gall-darned.<\/p>\n<p>A bunch of slow-moving planets gathered at three points on a cardinal cross is an infrequent and unlikely pattern. Make those points the places where the seasons change and you connect the infrequent and unlikely with the regular and timely.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the big picture of the t-square. It is an indicator that the regular, daily rhythms of our common experience have meshed and synchronized with a gradual change to a new pattern. A change we could no more avoid than a fish could avoid water.<\/p>\n<p>Years from now, after the cardinal t-square has passed, there will be a new pattern to our common experience. That pattern will last a long time. Right now we are in the midst of transition from one long-lasting set of commonly experienced patterns to another. Just as with the seasons we are each having an individual experience of that transition even as we are going through it together.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the best perspective from which you can see the cycles in the picture actually taking place in the real world. What&#8217;s going on with the ocean and what&#8217;s going on with your body? What is the state of your budget and what is the state of the economy? What&#8217;s the situation in your household or workplace and what&#8217;s the situation with the human race? Do you think that&#8217;s an accident? Are you gall-darned yet?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the framework, the scaffold. Hold on to that and you will have more certainty than the hoity-toity chairman of the Federal Reserve. Be mindful of that and things will be a lot less unusual to you than they are to his scruffy face. Unfortunately, that will not result in receiving a salary anywhere commensurate with his. Sorry, there&#8217;s only so much an astrologer can do.<\/p>\n<p>Now, lets work up to today and put a few things on that framework.<\/p>\n<p>On this day last month there was a lunar eclipse. That&#8217;s a Full Moon with the Earth in between, casting a shadow on the Moon. On our big circle, the line between the Sun and Moon was pretty much the same as one of the lines that make up our cardinal cross inside the circle. The lunar eclipse was superimposed over the cross. It drew you a picture for Pete&#8217;s sake. How often does that happen? The picture says, here, the lunar eclipse (and the total solar eclipse two weeks later) have something in common with the cardinal t-square. They have a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>That picture of relationship created a new pattern. That picture changed the t-square into a cardinal cross. It did not last for very long. It was as if to show us a potential. This picture can become that picture, a more complete picture. One that includes the complete cycle of the seasons rather than a part of it. That relationship is the final piece to complete the basic picture.<\/p>\n<p>And what is this thing called relationship? What does it mean besides one picture superimposed over another? That takes us back to today&#8221;s Full Moon. It depends on where you are and being aware of it. Is it happening late for you or is it happening early?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where it begins, knowing where you are. If you don&#8217;t do anything else with today, figure that out. Have some gall-darned faith that the events of your personal experience are connected with bigger things. Let those events make you aware. Keep track, take a few notes. How was your energy after this experience? What were your feelings after that one? Would you like every day for the rest of your life to be like this? What are you willing to do about that?<\/p>\n<p>If you can ask those questions, and answer just one or two of them, it will be a beginning. Start with finding and drawing your own picture so that you can see it on the inside. If you can do that you will have something of your own to superimpose over the pattern on the outside. Bring a change to that pattern, be a part of it, help to complete the cycle and turn the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The Full Moon of the lunar eclipse was to show us the potential. This Full Moon is for us to show something in turn. To do so may unfortunately be unusual, but be assured, it will not be uncertain.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Len Wallick &#8230;unusually uncertain&#8230;&#8221; Benjamin Bernanke, Chairman, Federal Reserve of the United States No scat, Sherlock.
