Kabbalistic Astrology
Newsletter April 14 2002
Dear Kan Recipients,
The most recent new moon happened in the 23rd degree of
Aries on Friday at 12:21pm Pacific time.
The degree speaks of our axial tilt in my epic poem
Aleph 2160. This week in the Toronto Globe & Mail there was an
article that surveyed a recent Nature magazine where deep space
photography showed the dramatic decrease in our magnetic fields.
Their idea is that the coming magnetic field pole shift will take
place over a full 2160 year astrological age rather than the 7 years
visioned by John of Patmos or the three and a half days of darkness
prophecied by Drunvalo & Greg Braden. Old fashioned biblical
interpreters might see three and half days to equal 3500 years, which
would please the scientists but force the new age
ascension crew to put a hold on their apocalyptic horses !
So allow me to quote from Aleph 2160, which is a 2160 line long poem,
one for each year of the age of Pisces ( which was officially over in
1961, if you believe the rock musical Hair )
we are precessing this moment
like a spinning top before it falls
developing mid-life equatorial
bulge as we rotate
around our own axis
perpetually retilting the terrestial pole
toward Polaris
Yildin Kochav Thuban Vega
Cepheus Ketuv
Olam
we are not like
birds born knowing where the pole
lies or how to fly
knowing the stars
stay where they are it is our
attitude that wobbles
When we tune in to the Sky News of the present moment (
Alan Dyer in SkyNews Exploring the Early Spring Night Sky) we find
" a unique succession of Moon-planet pairings, as the waxing moon
glides past each of the five naked eye planets in turn, beginning with
a close encounter with mercury April 13th ( last night) and ending
with an eye-catching conjunction with Jupiter on April 18th. On April
17th, with the Moon halfway between Saturn and Jupiter, all six worlds
form a neat line stretching across 60 degrees of the evening sky, a
rare chance to see and photograph all the night sky's naked eye
solar system objects in one view." This is a good as it
gets for naked eye observers until Sept. 8, 2040 !
The skydance continues in the merry month of May when
Venus, Mars & Saturn form a tight 2.5 degree triangle in the sky
on May 4th & 5th and the dance reaches a climax on May 14th when
the five planets are at their tightest configuration, all within 33
degrees, with the crescent Moon very close to Venus ( the symbol of
Islam, I believe). So the viewing will be majestic, but what will take
place on our politically challenged planet is yet to be seen. What we
can say is that this is what those of us who are fond of Robert
Fritz's model for creation or co-creation like to call
"pivotal moments". Hopefully ones that resolves the
karmic embers that have flared up in our face as leftovers from
the age of Aries.
The moon in astrologuese speaks of our subconscious
mind, the mother, the early childhood memories and conditioning. In
the Kabbalah the moon is the ruler of the sphere of Yesod, the
foundation. So we have a chance this month, perhaps , to examine both
our individual and our collective thought-forms, values, will, karma
and ultimate aspirations as we gaze out at the visible planets of our
solar system. Astrologically , we have just come through two major
squares with Mars recently conjuncting the Pleiades and squaring
Uranus in Aquarius ( the ancient war that the french poet Guillaume
Apollinaire called the war between tradition and innovation ) along
with the recent ( April 9) square of Venus in Taurus to Neptune in
Aquarius. The cosmic tension, then is between the " what belongs
to me" of Taurus and the " what belongs to us" of
Aquarius.
It is a major turning point in the planet dance, a
pivotal moment in the political & karma dance, a time when the
calendar is being recast by the lords of time, as it were. We should
be able to have a long heart to heart chat with the shadows lurking in
our personal & collective subconsious realm this month and broker
a few internal peace treaties. The boundaries between the individual
and the collective universes is being recast.
I, myself, will be guiding a brave & noble pod of
explores on a Stargate adventure in the land of Egypt from April 26th
( the full moon) until May 14th. For those of you who wish to tune in
during the dream state, you might want to meditate with us at
midnight in whatever time zone you are in for the full 17 day period.
Many years ago Charles Muses put out a book that had many souls
connected to Egypt meditating on the star Sirius, around the time that
Pluto came as close as it comes to the sun. I remember doing a
ceremony in the Kings Chamber of the Giza Pyramid where whe chanted
the passage from the prophecy of Isaiah whereby the Hebrew letters
total up to the height of the Pyramid itself. It is possible that we
are finally entering the resonance point that will allow us to tune in
and decode the star maps left to us by mysterious visitors at the time
of the Tepzepi. We shall see.
A few of the key portals for the month to come
are:
Apr. 22: Earth Day with moon in Virgo for a project
oriented approach to ecological problem solving. ( Take a leisurely
visit to the FTN website listed in the links section below !)
Apr.26: Full moon in Scorpio at
11pm. Time to gather the picces of Osiris back together and remember
where we are one being. ( If you live near New York, let me invite you
to a Kabbalistic Astrology, Healing & Meditation Seminar from 4 to
5:30 at the office of Zeev Kolman , 250 West 57th Suite 630. The cost
is $30, call Trish at 212 245-1715 to reserve a space )
Apr.28: Venus conjunct the
Pleiades. Begin to take in the great star dance.
May 3 & 4: Watch for Mars & Saturn in the sky.
Know that the samurai will be shaking their sabres, so to speak. Pray
that all the stress and tension in the universe is made useful for the
Great Creative Process.
May 8: Mars opposite Pluto. A day devoted to
introspection, conscience and self restraint.
May 15: Mercury turns retrograde, time to enter a three
week period of inner re-evaluation. A great time for writing and
gardening...
I am not making any promises about when the
next Kan issue will appear in your in box. I did that in December
& got lost writing the last chapters of The Unicorn Messiah. I
plan to be back at the Crystal Dome working in the garden by May 17th.
I will be available for private kabbalistic astrology sessions at that
time. Then , if you should have a yen to travel, I can invite you to
join me on the Morocco Journey for the World Sacred Music Festival,
departing from NYC on May 28th. The details are posted in the Magi
Travel section of the website....
Blessings to you all and happy spring,
Shalom,
Joseph-Mark Cohen
