The
Oxford Summerschool of the British Faculty of
Astrological Studies is behind us again, what a
treat it is to be part of that! Fancy yourself
amidst people from all countries over the world with
nothing other than the study of astrology on your
mind, in one of those wonderful colleges where you
are catered for and can focus solely on your
astrology study in an atmosphere of brilliance and
true learning. In the Bible it says " if
two or three are gathered in my name", well, if
many more are gathered in the name of Urania with
the intent on learning, miracles of insight happen!
I personally gained a miraculous insight which I
have tested with every astrologer I met since then:
Pluto
is retrograde currently, and will turn direct
September 9 on 28.30 Sagittarius. And Jupiter will
turn Direct September 8 and I wonder whether that
means that now that we are in the finals of a
retrograde (revisiting) phase of Pluto in
Sagittarius, and that we can finally maybe
understand something (or at least, I can finally
maybe understand something). Something that
started December 20, 2006, when there was a Full
Moon at 28.33 Sagittarius, precisely the degree
revisited now by Pluto. During that Full Moon Pluto
itself was conjunct the Galactic Center (26
Sagittarius). I remember that Full Moon very well
because it was the starting point of everything that
went wrong in my life, and which I tried to
understand during the entire year of 2007 without
succeeding. I had no answers (for one time in my
life), I had no understanding. Now, the Galactic
Center in reality is a Black Hole. A Black Hole that
sucks up everything into non-existence. And for a
Sagittarius kind of personality to no longer have
answers or understand something, that is truly
black... however, we collectively had
a Sagittarius kind of personality, during the years
Pluto went through it.
In
new Age circles the passage of Pluto over the
Galactic Center was thought to be very special, it
was thought to give an evolutionary jump. But in
reality the opposite happened. The end of current
growth and understanding.. it all ended into a giant
Black Hole... many people suffered a long time
kind of depression and loss of meaning in the
year after (2007) which may not even be entirely
over yet! Astrologers think it has to do with Pluto
in Capricorn, but I think it was Pluto conjuncting
the Galactic Center... Pluto itself was even
dethroned by the astronomy world just before it hit
the Galactic Center (when it was at 24 Sagittarius)
.. which to astrologers is a matter of
non-understanding, because they know the incredibly
and overruling force of Pluto in birthcharts.
The
Sagittarius bit in all of our charts comes to life
through insight, through answers, through
understanding, and most of all, through meaning.
If things occur which are not understandable, which
make everything meaningless, one can speak of a true
Sagittarian Black Hole. In the meantime it is clear
to me that my experiences were not only mine. Many
colleagues have without that they knew so from one
another, been having similar "black
hole-experiences" of meaninglessness, without
the answers as to the why of things. Everything
which was tried to find answers ended up nowhere,
sucked up in a giant black hole:-)
One
thing is certain, I personally am already for a long
time no longer enthusiastic about the Galactic
Center and its meaning in astrology, and have gained
a deep respect for its Black Hole - like powers, for
destroying everything that makes life worth living:
meaning, and hope. I wrote this weekahead a few days
ago in Dutch and since then many people have emailed
me who resonated exactly with these experiences.
Fortunately not all. And those of you who have felt
like us, well maybe from September onwards we can
start a new life, after Pluto went Direct and create
our own new meaning in life!
