There is even an intriguing indication that the Divine Feminine may manifest more plainly.<\/p>\n<dl id=\"attachment_38984\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 260px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38984 \" title=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/astro-len-wallick-logo.jpg?resize=250%2C167&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p> That is how the Sun, illuminating through your consciousness, will express in opposition to asteroid Lilith, while square the lunar nodes, upon its entry to Virgo. Whether in substance or symbolism, the Sun is as simple as it is pervasive. Robert Hand put it best in his book <em>Horoscope Symbols<\/em> when he wrote, &#8220;The Sun represents light, consciousness, and day.&#8221; It stands to reason then, that anything opposing the Sun will be fully illuminated, literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n<p>When the Moon opposes the Sun, Earth is in between them, and we call it a Full Moon precisely because the lunar side facing us is fully illuminated by the Sun &#8216;behind&#8217; us. Other objects opposing the Sun symbolically emulate the Full Moon, even if they are too small, or to far away to seen without a telescope, by being fully illuminated in our consciousness. The discovery chart for the asteroid Lilith will give us some idea of what to expect when it gets lit up inside us on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>As astrologer Marina Partridge has pointed out, &#8220;asteroid Lilith is the only Lilith that exists in physical form.&#8221; In other words, the asteroid is not the lunar apogee, a calculated point often referred to as Black Moon Lilith. Because it is a physical object not apparent except through a telescope, asteroid Lilith has a discovery chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On the chart for its discovery, asteroid Lilith is closely opposed to the Sun. That&#8217;s a feature common to discovery charts, and not very surprising. Solar system objects are easier to spot through a telescope while in opposition to the Sun. What is exceptional about the discovery chart for asteroid Lilith, especially in the context of how it will oppose the newly Virgo Sun again on Wednesday, is the astrological position of its discovery Moon.<\/p>\n<p>The asteroid Lilith was first identified on February 11, 1927 from the Paris Observatory. In her chart for the sighting, Marina Partridge fixed the time of the discovery at 11 pm. The lunar position in Ms. Partridge&#8217;s chart is 28+ Gemini. You may want to take a deep breath now.<\/p>\n<p>Eric has repeatedly referred to 28+ Gemini as <a href=\"http:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/daily-astrology\/atlantis-to-fukushima-here-at-the-edge-of-the-world\/\">the Atlantis Degree<\/a>, &#8220;a very strange spot in the zodiac that shows up prominently in the charts for Sept. 11, the Asian tsunami of 2004, WikiLeaks, two key charts for Japan and the (Sendai) quake.&#8221; He also writes that the Atlantis Degree is often present in the charts of \u201cpeople or things that raise our awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the Moon occupying the Atlantis Degree in the discovery chart for the asteroid Lilith, it is part of a grand mutable cross of its own, opposing the Galactic Core and square the opposition of Uranus and the mean lunar apogee, otherwise known as Black Moon Lilith. Such powerful aspects in its discovery chart mean that asteroid Lilith is primed and ready to raise your awareness when it is fully illuminated by the newly Virgo Sun while both are square the lunar nodes.<\/p>\n<p>When an object is square the perpetually opposed lunar nodes, it is said to be &#8216;at the bending&#8217;, which in Eric&#8217;s words, &#8220;gives the event the feeling of an eclipse, or a point of no return.&#8221; The fresh Virgo Sun will be at what is called the South Bending. According to Mary Plumb, objects at the South Bending &#8220;signify a point of release (for) experiences that are internal and have difficulty being expressed outwardly.&#8221; If you combine Ms. Plumb&#8217;s interpretation with Eric&#8217;s and apply it to the impending solar ingress to Virgo, you may reasonably expect that you are about to experience something irrevocably coming out of the closet of awareness, manifesting in consciousness, and illuminating the point across the way.<\/p>\n<p>Across the way from the newly Virgo Sun will be the North Bending. Again quoting Mary Plumb, the North Bending is where &#8220;events and experiences will manifest in the outer world.&#8221; In the context of an opposition to the Virgo Sun, those &#8220;events and experiences&#8221; would be what is emerging from your awareness, and are consistent with the nature of the asteroid Lilith, which will occupy the North Bending when the Sun enters the realm of mutable earth.<\/p>\n<p>M. Kelly Hunter describes the nature of the asteroid Lilith as representing &#8220;demonized aspects of the feminine, the result of long-standing cultural projections that perceive feminine roles and attributes as shameful, untrustworthy, and dangerous.&#8221; However, its discovery chart Sun (in the words of Ms. Partridge) &#8220;gives asteroid Lilith the ability to bounce back.&#8221; It would therefore appear that a long overdue and eye-opening rebound is in the cards as part of the solar ingress to Virgo on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Set to rebound when the Sun enters Virgo is the divine nature of the feminine, so long demonized by a male supremacist ethic. Humanity has lived with the oppression of the Goddess for so long, it&#8217;s difficult even to imagine what it would look like to be otherwise, but we can guess. We can guess because the Divine Feminine has managed to survive in you. It has survived hidden in your awareness, waiting in your consciousness, an internal presence, difficult to express outwardly. <\/p>\n<p>If you are willing to open your eyes to see them, the events you are about to experience in the outer world will provide a point of release for the truth you hold within. And once the truth is out, the only difference between you and the next person will be how you handle it. It would probably be a good idea to handle it with open eyes, an open mind and an open heart. Indications are that there will be a lot to take in.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nOffered In Service<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
