capricorn 10° - an albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor.

keynote: The overcoming of fear and its rewards

  Those who radiate perfect harmlessness can call the wildest creatures to them and establish with them a partnership based on mutual respect and understanding. Every living entity plays a role in the worlds ritual of existence. Beyond these specific roles, which too often separate one entity from another, the communion of love and compassion can bring together the most disparate lives.

  The power of such a culture of harmlessness and compassion generates trust everywhere.

     – Dane Rudhyar’s Astrological Mandala

  The full moon shines on the earth this night, illuminating all living beings, everywhere. Here Rudhyar through the symbol originated by psychic Elsie Wheeler reveals “universal truths” available to all humanity. A worthy reminder for this extraordinary week of rainbows and wonders (Episcopalians, please note, will perform same-sex marriages nationwide), illuminating the world.

  On a personal level, this symbol came into my life on December 5, 1977 after hours of meditation and discovering that 10° Capricorn was the point of “Original Intent” in a Full Moon, 22 hours after I was born. I recall when I read the above, I burst into tears realizing, “This is what I have always wanted in my life. . .” communion of love and  compassion bringing together the most disparate lives.

  This morning, waking from sleep and as so often unable to quell the rush of memories, the year 1938 persisted. In the ephemeris, on January 2, 1938, I find there was a New  Moon at 10° Capricorn, “An albatross feeding from  the hand of a sailor.”  Well it’s been some 77 years since that New Moon, and quite a journey . . . One never knows, but certainly some connection with the universe endures, and most assuredly available for all of us today, here and now.

  In the lunar cycle, a Full Moon is a moment of fulfillment – future oriented toward disseminating to others what we have learned in previous cycles.

  The north  node of the  Moon (a point of integrating personal and “beyond the personal” energies) is at this time at 5° Libra – “Revealing to students the foundation of an inner knowledge upon which a new world could be built.”
