Full Moon and Eclipse November 2020

An exalted Full Moon in its favourite nakshatra – Rohini – goes to Maximum Eclipse very quickly. It is as if there is a matter that needs to be resolved quickly. What is this matter that must excised of the light so suddenly? The hospital for recuperation or for the treatment of chronic diseases – the 12th house – the place of the sanatorium! So what chronic dis-ease must be cut off from the light? It is a question for all of us to consider, what part of our inner self needs this rehabilitation?

In the Navamsha, there is a clue: the Moon is in the 12 house, vargottama – in the same sign, in the same nakshatra, Rohini. So a matter of containment, imprisonment, long-term rehabilitation, hospitalisation, death to life as it was before, may be the signature of this eclipse. It is strong to have Moon in the same nakshatra, both in the birth and navamsha charts. And again, in Dashamsa, there is the Moon in Taurus, in Rohini Nakshatra. 12th house. Matters are definitely coming to closure. Eclipses affect nations and mundane matters, so matters of the 12th house, perhaps the coarse, earthy grounding of confinement in lockdown, rehabilitation from the virus, durance vile to purge the pandemic in the public domain. This is a signal of hope.

The human personality is like a diamond. Every other person sees a different side to us, that we cannot see. Some see our beauty, some see our dhi, our intelligence, some see our fashion – the clothes we wear, others take note of our demeanour and our character. There are many sides to us; in our inner person, there are sides to us that are only known unto ourselves. The simple clue we can offer here is that Jupiter is vargottama also in mysterious Capricorn. Jupiter is an expander of energy, a multiplier of strength, learning, academic mastery, like this. But here in Capricorn, Jupiter is looking like (aruda, giving the energy of, giving a face to the world, an appearance) of being depressed, hopeless, down and out. This, we suggest, is what needs to be excised in the public domain, what needs to be cut off from the light, what needs to be the action that aids the uplift of humanity out of this worldwide pandemic. We need the positive thought forms, the positive intentions, the healing prayer, the expansion to “Life is a game, play it!” for one and all. Everywhere.

However, we have to look to what is aspecting the Moon; in the Birth chart it is Sun, Ketu and Mercury; in the navamsha, it is Sun, in the Dashamsa, it is Sun again. The birth chart gives Moon in trine to Jupiter and Saturn; Jupiter’s debilitation is cancelled, so a benign aspect from Jupiter to Moon. Jupiter will shine a little like Saturn, so energy of lawful duty and responsibilities being conveyed by Jupiter to Moon, when Moon is in a state of preparing to wind up same. Jupiter is in the same position in the Navamsha, trine to the Moon, in the same signs. So this mildly restrictive energy will be on the Moon at Full Moon and eclipse time.

All Planets Direct

We have a situation of all planets direct from 15 November through 31 January, 2021.

While star watchers on Earth do their stuff, from time to time, the planets assume retrograde motion and to geocentric view, are going backwards. Only two bodies in our solar system never go backwards, and they are the Sun and the Moon. Remainder, there are retrograde movements, from the point of view of Earth. When all planets are going direct, the view on Earth becomes like that of the Sun, heliocentric. It is believed to be a time of mass benefits, and masses are taking advantage of this.

Other astrologers indicate that all planets direct is a cycle that gives “hope for the future. It’s uniquely a time where the earth’s perspective becomes like the Sun. Where the vibration of the solar system can provide an extraordinary kind of cosmic assistance to any endeavour created to benefit, rather than to hinder, human life on earth … where the whole planet can be energised by cosmic energy of light and love rather than the bowers of pandemic and hopelessness.”

Meanwhile, eclipses are times where the mind gets a little unsettled, a little disturbed. After all, this eclipse is a lunar eclipse, so the refraction of light energy and magnetism from the Moon gets hidden, interrupted for a time. So this time of eclipse, perhaps the day before, during and the day after, are not times for BIG decisions. Selling a house, buying a car, leaving jobs, changing your career – be patient and put it off for a few days. Your life is not about what you are and what you have; its is about who you are and your purpose. Maintain your purpose. Keep in mind what Sathya Sai Baba says, “What I look for in my devotees is steadiness”.

 

We have this situation where the Sun – in the Birth Chart, the Navamsha, the Dashamsa charts, is in Scorpio, aspecting the Moon. In the Birth chart, this is from the 7th house; in the Navamsha and Dashama, this aspect is given from the 6th house. Scorpio is the sign of hidden matters, mysteries, secrets. Sun is the personality, the ego strength, the centre of attention (at times) and the alternate Atmakaraka, the soul significator. So Sun gives a strong and wilful aspect, something like sankalpa, force of will. A strong personality (Sun is quite strong here, vargottamain three vargas (charts) in the sign of mysteries, dangers and death, perhaps flirting with matters in the public domain – the temptation may be there to go out without the face mask on, telling oneself “I am strong, I am invincible”. So many have passed over with this pandemic, don’t try it. Don’t fall to the will of the ego that seeks I, Me, Mine !!! And in the birth chart, this is all happening in the 7th house, the house where we have all our relationships – not just the spouse or partner, nor children, but ALL OF THEM, in business, in the workplace in the grocery, in the five-and-dime, in the supermarkets, in the mall, in the bus or train, even in the houses of worship. Consider your life.

Now, the Sun, in the Navamsha and Dashama charts is in the 6th house. The house of illness, the house of community service. The house of sacrifices. So we look to our dharma – who we are and purpose here on Earth. Our purpose in swadharma, asrama dharma, varna dharma, and r’ta dharma, seeking the presence of God everywhere. Who we are in ourselves, our family, our workplace, our community, the society and the nation. Where people are ill, we may go and render community service. Taking food, taking washing, running errands, speaking with them via social media or the phone, all these things send positive energy to the ill. Even seeking the grace of the Divine – for all prayers are answered. Whenever a call for help is sent out, it is always answered. The angels, the devas, the gods, the Avatara, the Hierarchy, the Source: all have given the same blessed assurance. Help is always given.. Whenever we are helping others, we help ourselves. So take note of the Sun in the 6tth house at this time, seize this solar energy and put it to good use: help ever, hurt never.

The Time of Full Moon

Full Moons are times when strong and plentiful energy floods the Earth. This energy, directed by the Full Moon – may be taken and used for benefit. Hence, the Hierarchy offer us the choice to harness this time of strong energy for planetary benefit by doing group meditation and directing energy in the form of love, light or healing, wherever there is a need. There have been many places experiencing the pandemic on Earth in the past month. There has been fear, suffering, people locked in their homes or in enforced quarantine in other locations, the suffering and disconnect affects many. Minds are bound by rules, quarantine, flattening the curve, and disconnect from the larger communities and those whom they have love and affection for.

The Hierarchy have advised us that the times of the Full Moon are times when energy is magnified, and multiplied. Groups – or individuals – sitting in meditation with peace, harmony, goodwill towards all have a manifold affect on the energies surrounding our planet when they do this on the Full Moon day. If it is not possible to do so on the actual day, then, we have been told, the day before or the day after will also serve as days of excellence in sending out positive harmony, peace and helpful energies to all places on our Earth.

Meditating on light can raise the level of light within the individual. Meditating on light for our home, Planet Earth, can raise the level of light in places where this is needed. For LIGHT can be, as you know when you turn on a light in a room it has different voltages in different countries – in some countries it is brighter – sometimes it is darker. In a way, the Light in each individual on this Earth is the same. Sometimes it is brighter and sometimes it is darker. Meditation is always of help to others.
