General Interest - Astrological Musings Oct 2011 By Vic Ketis
As the Dog is in a 'clash' relationship with the dragon we can expect this month to activate
the upcoming year. We can expect to see some of the influences for next year. This will be
especially true for you personally if you have a Dog or Dragon in your Four Pillars or are a
self element Yang or Yin Water person.
Any clash is not necessarily bad. It's an activation, a challenge of energy that will bring forth more impactfully our potentials that are reflected by the chart. A clash also brings issues to the surface and challenges us to respond, develop and change.
One of the things that the current era challenges us to do as reflected by the strong Uranus (Fire) Pluto (Water) planetary dynamic is to make radical innovative, deep profound revolutionary change according to our life path and impulse of personal direction. Be guided by your higher impulses. If we don't make changes we know we need to make then they may be imposed.
Divinatory and astrological guidance can be very wise and appropriate in these situations to illuminate the path ahead.
A Flying Star chart can also indicate what needs to be transformed (as well as 'cured'). Attention to the former is one of the strengths of Feng Shui. To merely 'cure' something secularises Feng Shui where the person's circumstances and environment are separated from their psychological unfoldment.
Wood has been the dominating element in the last couple of years. A prominent 'wood' theme is the environment, hence the climate change emphasis. However the metal of the Heavenly Stem represents the 'resistance to change' and consequently we have seen little actual movement forward in this area. As I mentioned in my last newsletter, the Carbon Tax is an austerity measure, not an authentic response to the ecological solutions that are required. An age of 8 theme is personal responsibility, not projecting our authority to an external source. There are many reports where small projects such as tree and forest replenishment and moves to preserve water, both for drinking and for our oceans are happening, amongst others. Hopefully we will see more of this.
If you have a prominent Earth - Water dynamic inside your Four Pillar you can expect that area of our chart to be activated for the next year.
You will feel the effect more if you have an Earth / Water dynamic as your day Pillar. This is particularly emphasised. I am often asked what will this mean? Fundamentally it means this will be a 'life defining' year as the Heavenly Stem (You) and the Earthly Branch (Your foundations) are emphasized. Something just as simple as getting clearer on who you are, your values and life direction. However what comes with this is letting go and clearing what is not consistent with this. All other personal astrological interpretations will depend upon the dynamic and resonance of the rest of the chart and how it is being impacted by the Luck Pillar.
If you have an Earth Water dynamic in the Day Pillar you are in good company. Bill Gates has this so we can expect him to be prominent in some way this year (perhaps more then usual!). Malcolm Turnbull also has this. He has no Wood Metal resonance. We can expect Malcolm to be more prominent this year. Earth also a favorable element for him and not for Tony. Could we see the rise of Malcolm and the decline of Tony?
Gillard has a strong Metal / Water dynamic hence her prominence in the last couple of years. As 2012 is earth I would expect the focus to go of her. Hard to say what will happen here. The Dragon is not favorable for her, however her Luck Pillar is very strong in favorable elements, which portend well for the country if the leader has favorable elements. So far Australia, again, has some financial stability, with the US and Europe under severe difficulties.
Wood asks us to create, generate, be innovative and visionary and act on it'. Earth asks us to transform integrate, nurture and harmonise as it is the element of transition and transmutation. A strong earth element coheres all the other elements. This year will ask of us to make centered psychological changes and transitions as we move into the fire years but more of this in 2012 newsletter.
Any Earth branch has a relationship with all the other earth branches. As transitions, the earth branches can also be seen as 'gateways'. If you are a 'transitional / gateway' kind of person, you may have more than one earth branch in your Four Pillars. You may also find that you help others make change and move through their transitional phases. The year of the Dragon aspecting the other Earth Branches in the Four Pillars highlights this.
You may wish to let me, and the others know how you are experiencing the transition as it can help others move thru. Sometimes I receive comments from students saying 'this month is shit' (or Year, or Luck Pillar or Life if that's your bag). A little more astrological and psychological articulateness may be required.
However if a time period is 'shit', you or others are in crisis or difficulty, this is good, as the crisis is a reflection of the tensions of energy that have come to the surface to be resolved, healed, or put into balance. We can empower ourselves by remembering this is an Age of 8 theme.
