A few hours ago, a bright white Moon turned slowly crimson. For clairvoyants, such events are a gift. If it is possible to see a vision in a crystal ball, imagine how much more you can see when gazing at such a miracle of nature. Astrologers too, saw plenty in the eclipse, but for us, the meaning was revealed more through maths than mysticism. When we cast charts to see how the Moon and Sun tied in with the rest of the sky, we were struck by the fact that soon after, the Moon would become part of a five-pointed star formation with Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Jill Whitman of Toronto was the first to spot this. She called it a 'Grand Quintile' alignment because it is made of 'quintile angles' which slice the pie of the sky into fifths. American astrologer, Johnny Mirehiel prefers to call it a 'Harmonic Concordance'. He sees the sky more as a musical instrument, capable of playing chords. While some astrological angles create intervals of a third or a fourth. This one makes a series of dramatic, perfect fifths. He suspects that this is a piece of cosmic theme music which heralds the world's imminent return to a Matriarchy. When more people start to see the divine creator as a female, rather than a male, he argues, we will all become less warlike in our ways. Other astrologers aren't sure the solution is so simple, but they too, see signs of an increase in female power soon. Several have noticed that the American election, in 2008, will fall half way between this year's rare transit of Venus and the one which coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. They feel sure it means the next but one president of the USA MUST be female... and will probably be Hillary Clinton. Working backwards from there, they suspect Bush will narrowly beat Kerry next week. That scenario would certainly tie in with the doomy side of last night's eclipse. Such events are traditionally seen as heralds of bad news and they feel it is hard to imagine what could be worse for the world than another four years of maniacal warmongering. Others are more optimistic. Alignments, they point out, never tell us what is inevitable. They tell us what's likely to happen if we don't try to change things. They see today's Grand Quintile as a rallying call from the cosmos. All we have to do is heed it. They insist that if we all take a moment, today, to wish for a future in which there's more caring, consciousness and understanding, and less aggression, bigotry and blame-mongering - our prayer may yet be heard
just cut and pasted this off johnathan cainer, thought it was interesting, esp the female creator
