Moon into Aries Today - Waning & Fully Aspected by Mars!

[Guest guest]

Waning Moon

Cycle

Begins,

Today!

for

Wednesday

October 15th,

2008

 

(See Descriptions

below)

 

 

Highlights

Of Transits

Today!

 

Moon’s moved into Aries

today!

9th Degree as of Right

now.

(Can you feel that shift from

waxing to

waning?)

 

 

Moon in Aries is fully being

aspected by Mars

In Libra today

too!

 

See below for some

r’s experiences already!)

 

 

Other Main

highlights:

 

Venus has moved into Scorpio now,

from Libra.

Be sure not to be too mad at

people for not doing

What you think is

right!

 

Annnnd, Sun’s on the edge of

its monthly shift into new sign of Libra.

This will be a big shift because

Sun’s weaker,

Malefic, debilitated in

Libra!

Details of Transits for

10/15th

Mercury’s Still

Retrograde & barely Combust

now

15 degrees apart from the

Sun!

 

(Mercury’s at the

13th degree while Sun’s at the 28th degree, both in Virgo!) Therefore, Mercury

intellect is strong so continue to take advantage of this still very good

Mercury Exaltation in Virgo, too. Venus in Scorpio now.

& Venus is NOT being aspected by Saturn now!

(Venus is at the 2nd

degree of Scorpio now.not as positive as Venus in Libra.Some

lessons here then.)

 

Jupiter still in its Own

Sign of Sagittarius,

20t degree and will remain in

this really great place

until December of

2009.

 

and

 

Finally,

Rahu's still fully aspecting the

Sun today

(Though already today, the

Sun’s at the 28th degree of Virgo, while Rahu’s at

the 22nd degree of Capricorn.

Therefore, this influence is

shifting as well!)

 

 

 

Enjoy, Moon/Aries, doing and

accomplishing energy today.

However,

Be aware of that shift of Moon

waning ness and allow that to go on as well.

 

You can feel it. It’s like the Moon’s suddenly deflated

and beginning to ‘swoosh’, and have all the air rush

out!

 

(See below for description of

Waning Moon below.

Also, descriptions of

r’s experiences of recent full Moon in

Pisces,

With Ketu’s full

aspect.)

 

 

 

Jai Guru!

Subscriber’s Comments and

Experiences:

 

October 15th

 

From Sheryl: Mid-western

 

 

“Mark, Why are people

mistreating me right now. Yesterday, a lady

called to complain about this and that. (I

won’t bore you with the details, Mark)

And it makes me so mad.”

 

She goes on and on for awhile. After listening to hear and

letting

Her vent and express as Dr. Johnny

Gray encourages men to listen more to women I finally said:

“You understand right, that this is all

just your karma coming back to you, right?

Though of course it is very good for you to stand

up

For yourself because your Mars is

needing to stand up more!

 

But, do you remember were the

planets are today?” “Ah, …. (sheepishly…) no…”

“Well, Moon was full yesterday, and now it’s beginning

to wane. But, Moon’s also moved into

Aries where this month Aries is being fully aspected by Mars in

Libra.

Listen to your experience and

words. This woman is coming to you and

expressing anger or irritation. It’s

karmic understandable.

And,

You are meant to stand up for what

you believe is right. Remember the other day

we were talking about what Venus shifting into Scorpio would be

like.

 

That sweeter nature of Libra giving

way to the more angry, judgmental Scorpio flavor.

 

But, the Jyotish suggestion is to

NOT get mad, especially to do with anything related to relationships, lost

interests, friendships, or Venus women!”

 

After a few minutes she completely

settled down and then said: “Well, last night I wrote a real stingy email

back to her. But, I did

Wait and mail till today. Now, I’m going to send, but a softer

version.” “Great idea, well

done!”

 

 

And, from Marty, also Midwestern

US

 

“Mark, yesterday was a very

wonderful and yet strange full Moon.

I mean, I felt that delicious

fullness of Moon in Pisces.

But, there was an undercurrent of

anger or irritation that felt very strange.

Can you tell me why?”

 

 

“Marty, yesterday was indeed

wonderful with Full Moon in Pisces.

But,

This year, Ketu’s fully

aspecting Pisces, all the time. So, any

planets moving through Pisces, like the Moon, will be

affected.

Here, in my locality it was very

overcast and dreary.

It even sprinkled a

little.

Later in the evening I looked up at

the Full Moon, trying desperately to peek through the clouds, and I

remembered, oh, right, Full Moon being aspected by

Ketu.

It felt like

that.

It felt like a kind of mini-eclipse

last night.

That’s why it felt slightly

irritable.

They say, Ketu acts like Mars, and

that’s exactly how it felt.

 

So, we learn from the Transits, to

take advantage of the benefic good, (ie. The Full Moon quality) but we

learn to NOT buy into

The malefic

negatives.

 

So, we enjoy the fullness of Moon,

but not get swept up in the Ketu negative.

 

Hope this

helps!

Waning Moon

 

 

 

The

waning Moon is one of the most important of all astrological cycles. This is because we’re not trained or

necessarily, naturally, enjoy resting! We live

in an age where being patient or resting is NOT something we want to

do! As a result, we enjoy the waxing

part.

Everything’s expanding, we’re feeling more and more

full, as the Moon waxes, and so we’re not prepared or interested in

the Moon stopping that!

 

But, nature is very kind. If we were on

the waxing Moon roller coaster for week after week, month after month;

we’d all burn out!

 

Instead, the intense, dynamic activity of the Waxing Moon is

immediately followed by a restful, healing waning cycle. This cycle is meant to balance and heal any of the

imbalances of the waxing last 2-weeks.

 

So,

much has been going on these last two weeks.

So, much good, expansion and development.

 

Now, that outward, dynamic energy peaks during the Full Moon and

then, immediately begins to wane!

 

It’s like the Moon is a big pendulum swinging into Full

ness. Every month, the Moon swings fuller and

fuller, as it gets bigger and bigger.

Then, it peaks during the Full Moon, and then, immediately begins

receding. It’s like it goes whoosh! And

immediately begins deflating!

 

 

We

can either feel that and adjust, allowing that to go on, or we can ignore

and in our ignorance not take advantage of this new time and end up

picking up stress!

 

Nature, flows through the transits!

 

Nature is showing us every day how it works!

 

Either we flow with that, or we don’t and then, suffer. Is it nature’s fault because we don’t

understand? What is that old expression? “Ignorance is no excuse.

If we violate the laws of nature, we’ll still get

punished.”

 

So,

we learn to be in-tune with nature. The

transits show us each day exactly how nature

functions.

 

Then, its up to us whether we work with nature or ignore

it.

 

There’s another great expression:

 

“It’s not kind of fool Mother

Nature!”

 

In

truth, we can never fool mother nature. To me, this is what the whole

debate about karma and as you sow, doctrine; is all about. Our charts, our transits, are nature’s way of

showing us how we’re doing.

We

still have the freedom of will to act with nature or

not.

 

When we allow ourselves to flow with nature, all good comes from

this!

 

Nature’s not trying to control or manipulate

us!

 

Nature’s trying to show us how to be a success in life; by

acting and functioning in-tune with herself.

 

The

consequence of this is all negative, malefic ness goes away and sweet,

effortless, natural fulfillment of desires, is the

result!

 

Sooooo, allow yourself to slow down a little now. Flow with that new direction of the Moon. Reflect on what came before, during the waxing Moon

time. Catch up with some unfinished details

that got swept under the rug, so to speak; during these last two

weeks.

During the Waning part, is an ideal time to get back in balance, to

rest, and to purify, release a lot of stress and fatigue and prepare for

the next waxing Moon cycle!

 

Good luck and.. God bless…..

 

Jai Guru…

 

 

 

 

October 5th

 

 

Terry Mid-western US

“Mark, I felt very rough today, (yesterday 10/8) I mean

I got a lot done but inside very uneasy and troubled. Is this due to

the Rahu influence you’ve been telling us about?”

 

“Terry:

Absolutely! When we can predict time after time the turning of

nature’s clock and its predictable effects upon us;

then, we can feel confident that

these are the real reasons why we’re feeling the way that we

do. In the case of Moon feeling uneasy or rough due to both

Rahu and Mars’ simultaneous influences, then know that

there are things we can do to minimize and

even eliminate the

negatives!”

 

I went on to suggest that she spend

more time in meditation,

Which Terry’s very familiar

with. I suggested her allowing

Herself more time to create or

enliven more inherent bliss

Of the Moon mind, until she

counters Rahu’s negative influence.

 

Later in the day I talked to her

again and she said the way she

Accomplished this, was by

enlivening her sense of inner silence,

And that had a very powerful

influence upon her roughness!

 

REMEMBER:

 

Rahu represents how we handle our

desires. So, if we experience

Any of the negative sides of Rahu

this means we’re slightly out of tune with Rahu’s positive

nature.

 

Rahu’s positive nature is to

be silent amidst desiring.

 

So, if we’re under the grip

of Rahu’s negative side,

‘roughness, obsessions,

compulsions and addictions;

then, know that you’re under

Rahu’s negative grip,

and nothing good comes from

that!

 

Why is Rahu more negative then

positive, you might ask?

 

Because too many people in the

world today are not in-tune

Enough with their inner silence so

desires tend to be obsessive,

Or rule us!

Vs. us being in control of

them!

 

Who’s the real

master?

 

That’s a Rahu question we can

ask ourselves!

 

Yesterday and today are two great

days to figure this out about yourself and Rahu!

 

 

 

 

Now,

the Details:

 

Moon’s at the 15th

degree of Capricorn

Today 10/9/08 5am,

 

How did you feel yesterday, (10/8)

? Moon’s now much closer to Rahu’s exact 22nd

degree in Capricorn. If you felt the roughness of Moon moving

into Capricorn, yesterday

Then today might be rough

too. I talked to several people yesterday who had

rough days and gave them so remedies as to what to do to try and

eliminate that roughness due to Rahu’s close affect upon the

Moon emotions. (See r’s experiences and comments

below)

 

IE. The deeper

we go inside the more all the outer influences will

influence

Us

less and less!

 

 

Mercury

Mercury’s still in Retrograde

motion; which means PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION, TO All

Decision Makings….!

This is especially important because

also Mercury & the Sun are completely combust at the same

time!

Tomorrow, October 9th,

Mercury will be at the 17th degree of Virgo, while Sun’s

at the 22nd degree, also in Virgo…

In other words, Mercury’s

combustion is still going on!

(THOUGH NOW, 5 DEGREES

APART,

means less of a feeling of heat

or combustion between

Mercury and the Sun.)

Typical, negative results are that

the intellect doesn’t work right now or is sluggish, to say

the least.

So, if you have frustrations with

your mind, thinking, and especially decision makings then this is probably

why. Sun continues going ahead and Mercury lessening in

degrees over the next few days due to its Retrograde motion so this will

quickly subside too!

Though if you don’t feel

Mercury’s combustion sometimes this is because Mercury is least

affected by combustion,

Since Mercury is always so close to

the Sun.

 

PRESCRIPTION:

 

Rest your wonderful

intellect. Be easy, let it rest. Don’t worry

about using it so much. The only problems we’ll tend to have

if we’re in work situations which demand the same kind of normal

Mercurical functionings and its not as brilliant now.

 

Fortunately, Mercury’s still

EXALTED in Virgo

So that’ll help a

lot!

 

Venus has now moved to the 24th degree of

Libra,

On

October 9th…So…..

Which normally would be extremely great!

However, be warned, today Saturn is still at the 22nd

degree of Leo right now,

So, Venus is still fairly close to the exact degree of

Saturn’s 3rd HOUSE ASPECT….

 

If you’re experiencing any delays, disappointments and

frustrations now, regarding literally ANYTHING,

To do with the Venus heart!

Then, this is why!

 

Mars

 

Mars is now at the 9th degree of Libra, which is such a

more pleasant transit then when it was in Virgo. But, today,

10/9 you could feel the Moon being affected by Mars’

4th house aspect. (Upon the 9th degree of

Capricorn) Perhaps this is because Rahu’s also in

Capricorn.

So,

beware of feeling too pitta or fiery during today, October

9th as well.

 

Moon’s being at the 15th degree still makes

it susceptible to Mars’ influence as well as

Rahu!

 

 

 

SATURN

This may be a good time to reflect on Saturn

again.

There are two ways to interpret Saturn’s many astrological

moments or aspects. #1 most of the time people think

Saturn represents a curse, a kind of negative event in the universe that

has the specific characteristics of:

Delays Frustrations Disappointments,

Dis-ease, Even disease! Loss, Grief,

Separation, And

On

and on!

 

But, the better more enlightened, insightful way of understanding

Saturn’s effects is in terms of PURITY!

Saturn is the living embodiment of Silence!

As

it moves about the Cosmos, if we’re in-tune with it, then we feel

the momentary Saturn moments of quietness, stillness, silent

grace and even the possibility of presence of God! But, if

we’re not presently in-tune with Saturn, then, something of a

purifying nature results! If we’ve been working too

hard, and then, one night finally get more rest, we spend the whole

night tossing and turning! How unfair is that, we think! The one night I try and catch up, I end up NOT sleeping!

However, what is really going on is the body is purifying!

It’s under a lot of backlog of stress and fatigue and is

spending this precious relaxation time, throwing off as much stress

as it can! This is of a real, physical phenomena, and because

the mind and body are connected, as the body unstresses the

stresses, the mind as intense dreams,

Even

nightmares are due to the positive Saturn release of stress!

Next time you find yourself under the typically negative grip of

Saturn;

Remember this and adjust, allowing this time to go on.

And, don’t feel so bad if the smoke is flying. We clean

house and for a few moments the dust is all up in the

air!

It almost seems like the house is more

dirty!

 

However, the dust is on the way out, and as the ‘dust’

flys, we should feel good! Like that, Saturn moments

seem like dust flying, around our life. Instead of

feeling any pinches with the heart, disappointment, imaginings bad

things; Allow, yourself to BE with Saturn in terms of your heart

today! and tomorrow!

Rahu

Finally, Rahu’s at the 22nd degree of Capricorn

still today Oct. 9th. Moon moved into Capricorn

yesterday, 10/8 so now today 10/9th Moon being only 7 degrees

away from Rahu’s direct degrees means it’s

influence

WILL BE THE MOST INTENSE TODAY! If intense desires,

obsessions, addictions OR ROUGHNESS pops up, recognize this is due to

Rahu’s negative aspect;

 

And let them go..

And Remedy is to be more silent along with your

desires!

 

And finally, Rahu's casting a direct

influence

upon the Sun today! Actually, Rahu, from

it's 9th house aspect has been aspecting the Sun the whole time it moved into Virgo. Count Rahu being in Capricorn as

#1,

then 9 houses away means,

Aquarius, 2, Pisces, 3, Aries, Taurus,

Gemini,

Cancer, 7, Leo 8 and Virgo 9th houses

away!

 

And, because Sun today is at the same exact

degree (22nd) as Rahu's also the 22nd

degree, though in Capricorn,

you may feel this Sun roughness as well!

 

Again, remedy is if feeling Rahu roughness

upon your Sun ego, I or self;

the remedy is to do a little bit more inner

work, meditating, especially, until the

bliss of the Sun remains undisturbed from

Rahu!

Article on rest and activity and

Saturn!

 

 

 

REST & ACTIVITY!

 

I

think the greatest thing I've learned from yoga and

meditation

Was

this idea of rest and activity!

 

Every moment of every day involves one or other of these two

cycles.

 

Right now I’m typing.

 

What

we miss when we’re doing, is that between each action, the

body

Still needs to rest.

 

Those that have to push too fast or too hard,

Pick

up a lot of strain or stress.

 

Carpal tunneling, is an example where repetitive motion is

so

Fast

and furious,

That

not enough time was had for resting;

And

this extreme, debilitating dis-ease,

Results!

 

Those who are moving but having accidents are not taking the

time

For

resting, between motions of activity.

 

Timings also have an element of rest and

activity.

 

How

often have we gone ahead with some project or work

related

Endeavor,

Only

to experience a lot of frustrations.

 

Either we can’t get hold of the right people, or

they’re not getting

Back

to us soon enough,

or

we're not experiencing what we call

NATURE'S SUPPORT!

 

WHY?

 

Because of a lack of balance between our rest and

activity!

 

SATURN!

 

If

we understand the role of rest and activity; then, when we find ourselves

deep within the ‘REST’ Saturn phase of any

event,

We’ll be able to truly just BE!

 

And,

being able to enjoy the rest phases of life, means that

Saturn

Is

deeply re-enlivened and appreciated.

 

SATURN, HIMSELF,

IS

A

REST PHASE!

 

So

often, when either a Saturn transit or Dasa time period happens, we have a

very difficult time with these.

 

Ever

wonder why?

 

Because we’re not in-tune enough with Saturn, and as a

result, Saturn

Causes in us some purification!

 

Saturn, himself, is the embodiment of moving

Silence.

 

He

moves ever so slowly.

 

He

feels like a boulder or a vortex of silence.

 

How

we’re experiencing Saturn is nature’s way of showing us how

in-tune we are with our silent, peaceful, inward, Saturn

nature!

 

If

we’ve been pushing or working too hard, then Saturn periods

find

That

backlog of fatigue and stress and then trys to push it

out!

 

We’ll feel a lot of inner commotion sometimes especially when

Moon and Saturn are colliding! We'll sometimes notice that we

have a very rough and intense amount of negative dreams at

night!

 

 

Ever

wonder why this is?

 

Most people think that this is because Saturn is

bad!

Or evil!

Or malefic!

 

Really, Saturn is extremely pure!

 

Saturn in fact, has a very bad rap!

 

If Jupiter is the right hand of God,

Reaching down and through Grace, picking us

up;

 

Then Saturn is the left hand of God,

Slapping us whenever we need it!

 

Think of it!

 

We

stay up too late, and violating the laws of nature;

Wake

up exhausted and fatigued!

 

Why

do we feel this way?

 

Who

is the agent of our fatigue and stress grief?

 

SATURN!

 

 

Saturn has the thankless task of delivering us all our

so-called

‘BAD’ karmas!

 

We

stay up too late!

 

We feel tired and not refreshed!

 

We

push too hard on a project at work,

 

And feel deeply exhausted and burnt out.

 

We

feel some sickness coming on,

 

And we ignore those signs from nature, and fall

sick!

 

Who’s the ONE that’s bringing us all these ‘out

of balance’ calamaties?

 

Of

course, SATURN!

 

No

wonder we hate him!

 

No

wonder we reduce him to a status of an evil doer!

 

No

wonder we misunderstand him!

 

But, there are two instances that begin to change our

mind.

 

#1

we can find, in those people’s charts where Saturn is supposedly

benefic;

that the results of Saturn are also benefic!

 

What

does this mean?

 

It

means that Saturn is in direct proportion to how much inner

balance,

And

inner peace we have. If we're born with it, or especially

'develop' it, then Saturn can be positive!

 

 

If

we develop our inner resources, and strengthen our

silent,

Quiet part of us;

Then automatically….

 

Saturn’s silence begins to grow!

 

And

as Saturn improves, then ALL the negative consequences

of

Saturn begin to recede!

 

 

As

it turns out Saturn is about the same size of Jupiter.

 

But, ‘HE’ has the thankless task of bringing us all

our worst nightmares!

 

Why? Why, does HE do it? In fact, HE

doesn't. We do! So, then we should ask who

does?

 

We create them! But, why? Why would we

do such a thing?

 

Because of our ignorance, because of a lack of

clarity,

because of a lack of education,

or

because we're just innocently not taking enough regular

rest!

 

Whatever the reason, Saturn will give us, in direct proportion to

our actions;

The

results of our rest and activity!

 

If

we engage in a healthy way in both these cycles; then Saturn is

appeased!

And

balance and peacefulness results!

 

If

we don’t then, grief and suffering will be ours!

 

The

cool thing too, is that Saturn, HIMSELF doesn’t even

really

Cause these things!

 

It’s US, our actions and choices that determine our

consequences.

 

Saturn is just the innocent harbinger of dis-ease, disease and

death!

 

I

call it the 3-D’s of Saturn!

 

He

just brings to us the results of our previous actions!

 

But,

at every moment, nature is happy if we choose a different

path!

 

If right now, we can resolve to be better, to give more regular

rest to our bodies, hearts and minds;

Then, IMMEEDIATELY, Saturn’s consequences will be

better!

 

Try it!

 

Next time you find yourself in a negative Saturn

moment;

Resolve that next time you’ll be

better!

 

That’s why I love these Saturn transiting

moments.

 

Happens about 4 times a month.

 

Moon & Saturn in the same Sign.

 

Moon 3 Houses away from Saturn.

 

Moon 7 Houses away from Saturn.

 

Moon 10 Houses away from Saturn.

 

All these aspects of Saturn upon the Moon, are the

classic;

MONTHLY

Saturn moments!

 

Watch these over this next month to determine how in-tune you

are

RIGHT NOW,

With your Saturn!

 

Then, if you don’t like the negative results that come

during these times;

Then, RESOLVE,

To be more in-tune with Saturn; for next

month!

 

This sounds like a great project!

 

Let’s do it!

 

ANYONE WHO WISHES TO STRENGTHEN THEIR

SATURN’S

OVER THE NEXT 4-8 WEEKS;

LET’S START TODAY!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mark

Kincaid
