Harvest Full Moon 2011-911 Anniversary
Harvest Full Moon 2011-911 Anniversary
We are experiencing our yearly Harvest Full Moon 2011 nearing the autumn equinox –a time for ripe fruition of any growth we have been nurturing whether our garden tomatoes or a pet project seeded in the spring equinox which will now come to it completion. The Harvest Moon is always something to watch in its spectacular presence, appearing much larger in view than usual, with various colors and shades not usually seen, the extra illumination by nature giving more light for the harvesting tasks. Virgo is naturally associated with the harvest and gathering for the coming of fall. Being we are coming up to the 10th anniversary of 911 on this Full Moon which resonates to the degree point of this devastation, this Harvest Full Moon holds special meaning.
This Harvest Full Moon is also called a Moon Wobble as the Sun Moon both square the nodal axis. It is a cross point between eclipses. The energy is very similar to eclipses where you can see similar types of crisis in events. The Full Moon in March this year was a Moon Wobble with the Japan Tsunami . This Moon Wobble is exact at 18 degrees-the degree point of 911 and sits very close for me with my Moon at 18 degrees Virgo, very up close and personal. In the last few days we had a 6.8 Earthquake close to my home here on Vancouver Island. Just a couple nights previous I was in a stressed lucid dream state-the kind where you think you are awake and you are aware you are dreaming. I was lying on my bed and the room starting swaying and shaking, just like an earthquake.
I lived in California through two earthquakes so I know how they feel. I was reaching out with my arms flaying heavily trying to clear the fear away. The Moon is very much tied to premonitions, precognition and intuition. The 911 tragedy occurred just a week before a Moon Wobble. What can be ascertained with these energies is not all activity happens directly on eclipses. Total eclipses where the Sun Moon are in close range to the nodal axis have lasting vibrations, often up to 6 months and the Moon Wobble can be a strong catalyst to draw out the energy.
In the last few days there have been reported terrorists threats for NY and Washington DC. Hilary Clinton announced “a specific, credible threat”. I have continued to have shaky feelings around any back lash from Al Qaeda and am not settled in the fact that this is over. The uncertainty around these threats becomes imminent with transit Mercury just returning to its place it went retrograde early in August as it just leaves its opposition to Neptune (uncertainty). It now moves to oppose Chiron which can show the reminding wounding of the past (Chiron Pisces). As posted in my eclipse posts the last few months, vengeance and revenge loom large with Al Qaeda. The problem with these types of threats is striking a balance between using caution and keeping calm as opposed to panic which is an understandable plight being we are coming to a reminder once again of the horrific events of the past. The reality is PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) will be easily reawakened and threats do have to be taken seriously.
These threats pose alert to the fact that we recently learned more evidence with the hesitations and confusion around the managing of security with 911. There were apparent threats that were known but the preparedness wasn’t in place. Newly air traffic controller tapes reveal the chaos and scramble around the confusion with combating the attack. The seriousness didn’t set or sink in – military mistook it a as a drill and the FAA had trouble getting authority to get the Military to act. They were ready to act 2 hours later, much too late after all 3 planes hit and the 4th went down.
I have had particular interest in the fixed star Regulus lately which is prominent and known as one of the most fortunate fixed stars which is just moving into Virgo after residing at the 29 degree of Leo and in Leo for many centuries. Leo, ruled by the Sun is the sign of kings and Regulus portends royal status, nobility and fortune however is at its fall with any activity around revenge and vengeance. The movement of Regulus into Virgo is significant where many fortunate fixed stars reside. We can hope for many years ahead of the virtues of leadership with principles of Virgo humbleness, servitude and discrimination with less of the arrogance and the ego related downfall of Leo pride.
With Regulus over the opposing point of transit Neptune and Chiron presently, we are going to continue to be under the mercy and victims collectively(Neptune) of the hate crimes brewing. This point sits especially strong over Washington’s chart and something to be said about the necessary peace talks and strategic security to keep enemies at bay. The US chart has Mars over the ASC which shows a strong force for retaliation which was made very apparent with the execution of Osama Bin Laden. The eclipse in June was over the US Mars ASC but being this was the south node eclipse gives me the sense that the Al Qaeda retribution is still on the horizon. Other fixed stars I have seen is an unfortunate fixed star Sabik, on 18 degrees Sagittarius over the current nodal axis which portends evil deeds have successful execution. We do have fortunate fixed stars around 4 degrees of Capricorn where currently transit Pluto resides which does offset and give some moderation.
The chart of NY has Pluto oppose Saturn exactly opposite transiting Pluto oppose Saturn at the time of 911. That is a very powerful signature come to being mirrored. The opposing forces of Islamic fundamentalism to American freedom and democracy became a force of contention. We have just finished the aftermath of the last Saturn Pluto square with the consequences of the economic crash which can in a sense be seen as a consequence of the impact of 911. Most studies have been done on the chart of the US for 911 however I find the chart of NY to be much more poignant as there is so much focus around the IC/4th house cusp, which depicts the home and essentially ground zero.
The year of 911, a lunar eclipse fell on the NY Capricorn Sun/IC with the south node. With the NY Sun so close to the IC square Jupiter and the ASC-these angular points are very sensitive and show NY as a very direct target as angular planets attract strong prominent energies. This in itself also demonstrates NY as always being seen as a new horizon for many immigrants-the hope of the promised land with Jupiter on the ASC and at the very least a gateway into the USA. This eclipse in July 2001 is almost mirrored to the recent eclipse in July 2011 bringing about the cyclical phase once again although the outer planets at this time reflect a different pattern.
The chart of Washington DC is also alarming with the tsquare of Pluto Moon Saturn in the early mutable degrees under the fire of transit Chiron Neptune currently with the degree point of Mars and the nodal axis in Pisces very close to today’s Moon Wobble degree-the nodal axis is right on 18 degrees Pisces-the south node on the 911 degree point, 18 degrees Virgo. Uranus at 3 degrees Libra, was squared by transit Mars/SN. That is energy that clearly showed the sudden shocking events of 911. Both NY and Washington’s charts have energy patterns still marked for strain in the coming few years but with stronger security intact, we can rest assure to some extent that we are better prepared.
A natal chart signature is key in how energies are transposed. The collective theme at the time of 911 was the Saturn oppose Pluto aspect which impacted everyone to some degree certainly if not collectively then personally if the planets were in some way impacting their personal chart. Oppositions are crisis points often seen in the ripening of long building tensions. It may be right to presume that much of what occurred around 911 with the Saturn Pluto opposition was something that began to take seed at the conjunction of Saturn Pluto in the early 1980’s when we really started to see Islamic terrorist activity become more threatening. Being Pluto was in Sagittarius at the time of 911 shows the fanaticism (Pluto) around any belief system (Sagittarius-religion) and when mixed with politics, you witness the resulting consequences.
The Saturn Pluto transit has often been discussed as a strong aspect for the tragedy however we can view a number of aspects that day that were playing a part that added to the devastation. We know this was a predetermined event so we also need to look at the aspects in the previous years etc. that would have built up to this climactic event such as Chiron oppose Pluto and Saturn square Uranus. The event chart of 911 is really only best to look in hindsight to see what if any of the determining factors may have played into the force of the event.
Even though a strong kite pattern was evident in the 911 event chart, there were many very stressful aspects that day such as a Moon Chiron opposition, Sun Moon square, Sun Chiron square, Sun Saturn Pluto tsquare, Venus Uranus opposition, Mars conj south node, Mercury square Jupiter. Of all these aspects Mars on the south node says a lot for violence taking the reactive path of destruction. This Mars also reflects Osama Bin Laden who had Mars on his south node. This Mars SN is right on NY Venus Mars in the 3rd house close to the 4th house of home . When looking at these aspects, almost all of them hit points in both NY and Washington’s chart. What I really found most potent though was Jupiter in Cancer on NY elevated MC point which shows the very public extreme event.
When revisiting the event chart of 911 you see a rather ambiguous scenario as first what pops out is a grand trine kite formation but when you look deeper you see the rough aspects which are only catalysts for the sweeping movement that a kite would then enable all the rough energy to manifest. Often one doesn’t take into consideration that easy aspects tend to flow and move with no barriers-here clearly showing how these events moved without ANY force of opposition or control. How the muffled scene around the military and FAA to have gotten any traction to halt and stop any if not even one of these planes is clear how the kite took formation with the seemingly smooth flow of the catastrophe- a very well orchestrated mission.
What became very clear and demonstrated were the ill prepared security measures and the resulting polar opposite onslaught of security panic and hyper vigilance that ensued post 911. The state of complacency around the event was very evident by the notorious dazed look on President Bush’s face once the announcement was made. His expression was blank – not a normal human reaction. He later claimed he kept his gestures controlled as he didn’t want to instill public fear however in any human response you would think there would be more emotion. No matter the seriousness of this event, someone was asleep at the wheel.
It was indicated that threats and information was available to the CIA about upcoming terrorist’s actions and plans yet they apparently were downplayed. John P Oneill, a top FBI agent, one of the victims of 911 became head of security for the WTC just before 911. It was known that he had strong suspicion that an attack was going to be made on the WTC once again to finish the “job” first hit in 1993. The whole process of all these flight schools being bombarded with sudden interest in learning to fly, especially with a push by Islamic immigrants to learn how to fly Boeing passenger jets in a crash course you would think should have alerted some strong red flags.
None of this is to suggest that an event such as this could have been predicted or prevented or that any one person or group is necessarily to blame however it does show the development that was already in the works with Al Qaeda making no secret its plans to wage war with the US. There were threats abounding but who would have ever thought planes would be used as missiles. The only clue to that would be Mars (arms, weapons) was on the south node-the path of least resistance. The south node obscures and hides and they probably knew no one would ever have guessed. The safety, security and financial repercussions brought to fore the instinctual drive for survival. Security and protection is Moon related and always takes us to survival tactics instinctively (Mars Pluto).
You can see the kite around 911 didn’t really have any pressing alert around the Moon-the Moon was just moving out of a stressful square with the Sun and conjunction to Saturn but was nicely trine to Mercury Uranus oppose Pluto creating the kite. This showed how even in this very traumatic event, many who faced their imminent fate remained and seemed to be at some peace, surrender and calm, in the face of extreme fear. Currently several Muslim groups are in prayer for the victims of 911 on this anniversary while NY gathers for 911 ceremonies to pay tribute to the victims of 911 while threats abound and security remains paramount.
