Eight Eight Eight

8.8.2006
or "8 8 8"

The 8 8 8 date coincides with the build up to full moon in Aquarius and shows three conjunctions as well as two opposition lines in effect. Things move toward warp drive now, and at the same time, seers and sages intuit elusive motivations, hidden agendas and ambitions that are going to be seen now everywhere. This mid 2006 snap shot of planets is a good moment to look at the times ahead.

The obvious two conjunctions are Sun-Saturn in mid Leo and Venus-Mercury in late Cancer moving towards Leo. The less obvious and short conjunction is Aquarius moon onto Chiron and then onto Neptune when it opposes the sun and thus is FULL, one day later. A picture gels. It is in an odd way reminscent of last summer.

The other opposition, potentially volatile in nature -- as well potentially highly inspiring -- is between Mars in Virgo (close to earth now) and Uranus in Pisces, and this means we could also see the "dark side" of Uranus, or the very unpredictable outcome show up at the last moment, out of the blue, electrifying; scalar of nature maybe even, but certainly not foreseen...

This can mean also reversal of fortunes. For the better for some, for the worse for others. This might depend on both how people behaved so far and where and when they act, or pass on the opportunity to act. The invisible or unseen world comes alive under such aspects - and higher inspiration is guided from afar.


Powerful Aspects & Ambiguous Meanings:

The Saturn-Sun conjunction is powerful as is, assertive and somewhat territorial, and it is magnified or highlighted now because squared by Jupiter in Scorpio, and begins clearly its opposition to Neptune. This means a fixed T-square is about to come into effect, making it a must to get solutions by full moon going, which is easier said than done.

The Venus-Mercury conjunction -- good understanding and cautious bargaining -- makes its 150 degree (quincunx) "adaptation" angle to Pluto, which talks to us about certain insecurities as it does it from inside Cancer.

Mars in Virgo (definitely work-, service and health-orientated for weeks ahead, as well as dutiful, precise, mechanistic and rather frugal or critical) makes a nicely sustaining aspect to Jupiter at the moment of 8 8 8 -- enhancing here the willingness to bring action into effect, and get things to work out.

Jupiter makes an even more beneficial aspect to Uranus, by triangular alignment - spiritually uplifting - so that the opposition Mars-Uranus actually seems to receive a "transponder-effect" that might lead to resourceful actions. Whether this proves to be beneficial or not we will have yet to see and experience. Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces natives might have to into over-drive in this aspect.

Still, with Mars in Virgo, there is too much thinking and conceptualizing going on now, and not enough straight forward action without thought. Action from the heart is also slightly hemmed in by the cautious feelings in Cancer and Saturn in Leo opposing Neptune does not make it easy to express oneself in a straight forward manner.

The combination of all these alignments gives the "8 8 8" - date a dynamic of "conceptualized" or "idealized" hopefulness. It brings with it some "faith" into the group known as humanity; yet it also speaks of higher tensions than usual, and it hems in slightly - at least at an emotional level - the willingness to take on risks.

On an intellectual level there is much activity, many connections, and the drive to see things through at this point is a given. But things are somehow on hold until every one has adapted to every thing...





The moon is much closer to earth than usual these days. It reaches a momentum and declinationthat might have repercussions in some odd way on the human nervous systems, on all sorts of electronics, the internet, and on the weather patterns. Expect now the unexpected for many weeks.

We will see what types of hurricanes build under this influence. I would use caution when driving, and when operating machinery now. Precision is necessary in these aspects. It is not the best of pictures, and much realigning and adapting is needed.

8 8 8 is an unconventional transition moment, hopeful with anticipation, and leads us into a phase which builds up to an even greater volatility as the next moon phase unfolds. It is certainly a spiritually "aware" moment, with attentiveness, higher thoughts, and consciousness at an all time high peak, which I interpret as positive, but again, precision and a circumspect attitude would be helpful now. It is important not to get deluded in this particular aspect.

((The next full moon -- in September -- will then be exactly in line of Uranus in Pisces, magnifying all this even more.))



The outer planets are all retrograde until late in 2006, giving some reprieve on the nervous system, allowing us to have an "out-of-gear" type readjusting phase until autumn. It also indicates we see the concept for the future more clearly

"A WATCHDOG STANDING GUARD" is the symbol for Aquarius 17 where the moon will be full on August 9th, 2006. Keyword "probity"; and all this indicates a moment where a mental "ritual" of goal-orientation is appropriate. This is also the turning point degree of Neptune in 2006-2007.

This Aquarian lunation -- with planetoid Chiron in the mix -- brings an empowering magnetic polarity into the Neptunian field of influence, and with Sun and Saturn opposite of it we will have to seek also a compromise in the sense of agreement, whereby agreeing not to be of the same opinion is still seen as an agreement.

The UN resolution on "cease-fire" and "peace-keeping force" in Lebanon falls into this moment, where they agree to disagree, but pretend to agree when they know there is no agreement. The lunation shows how afflicted the Israeli birth chart of 14 May 1948 is by the transit planets with Saturn in its mid heaven.

Higher concepts are sought. We are interested in ancient wisdom of benefit to all, while looking to forge ahead and find a "better" future. Yet we have only the now in which to act. And act we can and must in this full moon.

People are looking for "protection" from the "establishment" in this alignment, and they will see it would be better they empower themselves under such aspects. How? By being extremely tenacious, willful and resourceful, is what Jupiter would advise from deep inside Scorpio. Still, the art of diplomacy is now in high demand, both at personal as well as global levels.

How will things continue?

The world is silently falling apart in the visible and measurable realm. There is no way we can deny this reality. The future is now. What is happening now, unless we change our mindset radically, is what will transpire tomorrow. But the unseen world, the guidance network, has a plan in Cosmic mind. It is connecting up those whom it deems fit to move on in a new and more useful manner.

The alignment puts Israel at high risk. In fact I feel that - miracles and change of mind notwithstanding - the invisible world has had it with Israel and its empire building aliens. I think that the Eastern and Arab world is finally coming together to build a new alliance so as to see its world through - beyond and past the coming earth changes.

Jupiter has still about one hundred days to go in Scorpio until it reaches Sagittarius on November 24th, 2006. Carl Johan Calleman whose Mayan Calendar Code is now being discussed thinks that the visible changes for a better world with proper spiritual transformations will only be seen next year, past November 2007, and I have to agree with him. Now it is basically essential that we who wish to live a useful and peaceful productive life get prepared.

The economy will be undergoing very rapid changes when the climate puts the food supplies in question. We have to start organizing our safe places before this year is out if possible, but at the latest we want to reach our safe place by the end of 2007 when Jupiter aligns with Pluto. At that point, I think we will see changes. By then you want to have transformed your assets into gold and silver. But better is you buy it now. I stated two years ago the metals would double in value, and so they did. They will double once more, probably by 2009 at the lastest. Buy or hold the metals now.

While 2007 is the year of the "boar" or wild pig, and brings with Sagittarius Jupiter some optimism and expansionism, it means we can enact the changes in our lives. Until August-September of 2007 ((ONE YEAR FROM NOW)) Saturn will still be in Leo, doing very constructive long range alignments to both Jupiter and to PLuto, which is hugely helpful to this world, when we use all this for good planning.

In September 2007 Saturn enters tropical VIRGO. Things will have to make sense from then on. 2008 is the year of practicality. Jupiter and PLuto will enter Capricorn at that time. At which point only goal-orientated action will cut it, and clever organizional skills will be in high demand. Earth and water signs have then a good advantage until 2009.
