October 2012 For Everyone ~ A Million Points of Departure
By FatherMotherGod... - Posted on 05 October 2012
The Astrology of October 2012 - For Everyone
A Million Points of Departure
September’s
composite chart, which encompassed the Fall Equinox, began a season of
increasing clarity on the issues and decision. Several years of crisis,
uncertainty, hesitancy and confusion are ending.
October’s chart
will accelerate all of September’s trends and then some. October’s
chart is very high-energy. Countless additional decisions will flow from
September’s initial decisions.
October’s chart also brings a
growing commitment to a difficult task: reshaping the world in
accordance with the ideas unfolding in our minds. It also begins the
gradual return of reason, responsibility and common decency to public
affairs.
True Creative Chaos
October’s
chart will bring extremely volatile energetic conditions. A seemingly
small impetus will have surprisingly dramatic effects. Surprise events
will trigger startling changes of direction. New trends will spring
suddenly into existence all on their own. Existing trends will veer
unexpectedly in new directions.
October will not allow accurate
predictions, firm control or reversing course. The chart looks like a
one-way portal into a different time line.
Fortunately, again,
people will tend to favor the humane, common sense approach to our many
problems. People are far more inclined to read the fine print, now.
Three
major planetary ingresses occurred between January 2008 and February
2011: Pluto entered Capricorn, Uranus entered Aries, Neptune entered
Pisces. Our lives entered a state of deep, continual systemic
transformation.
But for several years, uncertainty, indecision
and suspense have prevailed. No one could, or would, decide on a course
of action. As often as not, poorly thought out, extremist ideas
captured the public imagination, at least strongly enough to produce
stalemate.
That period of troubling political and economic
gridlock and flirtation with unwise solutions is ending, and, given
current world events, not a second too soon. October will bring the kind
of chaos that yields to true creativity and progress.
Zero Points on the Angles
In
October’s chart, the angles - the Ascendant, the Imum Coeli, or base,
the Descendant and the Midheaven - are all occupied by the zero degree
of their native signs.
0° 25’ Aries is on the Ascendant. 0° 31’
Cancer is at the Base angle, the Imum Coeli. 0° 25’ Libra is on the
Descendant. 0° 31’ Capricorn is on the Midheaven.
The zero degree
point of any sign, but especially cardinal signs, is a high energy
point. The create a surge of activity and provide a strong thrust to any
undertaking. Also, cardinal signs and the angles they call home, are
all signs of decision in a chart.
The angles are the most
sensitive points in any chart. Influences hitting the angles
dramatically affect the whole chart. And in October, a decisive,
high-energy, point is on each of the angles.
Hence, October’s chart is supercharged with energies conducive to strong, decisive commitments.
All
of the signs also occupies its native house. Hence, the effects of the
chart will be more intense. They will be more uniform, hitting everyone
in a similar way. They will also be more easily recognized, more typical
of the house and sign in which they occur. People will tend to see and
understand what is going on, to understand causes and effects.
Supernova
The
Part of Fortune, at 0° 25’ Capricorn is very close to exact conjunction
with the Midheaven and exactly square the other angles.
The Part
of Fortune combines the energy of the Ascendant, the Moon and the Sun -
everything that defines individual identity and the individual’s
relation to the world he or she lives in. Its placement immerses the
individual directly and wholly in the transformative processes described
in the chart.
Radical transformative energy strikes every facet
of the relationship between individuals and the world around them. Deep,
inner transformative processes will coalesce with profound, outer
transformative processes. A growing number of lives will take off and/or
accelerate in new directions.
Fortunately, the spirit of
unreason that has dominated world affairs for so long will be supplanted
by a renewed spirit of reason, responsibility, moderation and decency
just as we begin this crucial phase in the transformative process now
under way.
Saturn and the North Node in Scorpio
Economic and Political Relief
Saturn enters Scorpio for the full transit on Friday, October 5th, GMT; it will remain in Scorpio thru 2015.
Saturn’s
exit from Libra marks the end of the US Saturn return. While it was in
Libra, Saturn was, among other things, depressing the US economy.
Because the US economy is so important globally, it was depressing the
global economy. Hence, the US and global economies should show greater
resilience beginning early in October. We should feel a little economic
bounce immediately.
Saturn’s exit from Libra will also have a
positive effect on politics. It will no longer suppress the
partnership-forming, consensus-building processes. US politics should
also be able to move on from the stalemate that has existed the last
several years.
Leaders will achieve a hard-fought consensus on
all of these typically 8th house/Scorpio issues over the next two+
years. Saturn will keep us at square one while we work out the issues,
but at the end of its stay in Scorpio, Saturn will present us with a
new, promising path forward.
Conflict over nurturance issues -
insurance, pensions, social welfare programs - will peak. Conflict over
beginning of life and end of life issues will peak.
Issues confronting tax policy-makers and big financial institutions will reach a rolling boil.
Boundaries
of all kinds, at all levels, will become more of an issue. Nations and
individuals will expect greater respect for their personal boundaries
and more respectful behavior from those who enter their space.
Saturn
in Scorpio will also bring a variety of other macro- and micro-level
issues to the fore. Military expenditures, for example, will come under
scrutiny.
Some Relief for Relationships
Saturn’s
exit from Libra should also reduce the pressure on human relationships,
which have been under fire from numerous astrological sources. However,
pressure will continue at some level in all of these areas because of
the challenging nature of current astrological conditions.
Perhaps
most notably, Saturn in Scorpio will cause difficulties in some of the
most important aspects of human relationships. Reproductive issues, for
example will become even more problematic. This will almost certainly
have a complex and chilling effect on human intimacy.
Saturn + North Node, Do the Right Thing, Or Else
The North Node entered Scorpio at the end of August. It will be in Scorpio with Saturn until early 2014.
The
North Node placement will affect the same issues that Saturn is
affecting. It will dramatically increase the effect of Saturn in
Scorpio, and vice versa.
Saturn will require that we make
significant sacrifices to meet true North Node standards. The North
Node, ever ready to impose penalties, will insure that we not avoid
Saturn’s demands for good answers to important questions. It will make
the challenge of finding acceptable 8th house/Scorpio solutions all the
more pressing.
The North Node in Scorpio and the 8th house
emphasizes large scale, long-term collective responsibilities of all
kinds - pensions, insurance, social welfare, military and police power,
security issues generally, and so on. These are all responsibilities
that are traditionally, and necessarily, shouldered by the group as a
whole.
Indeed, Scorpio and the 8th house are the place where
individual power, resources and responsibilities turn into group power,
group resources and group responsibilities. It is the place where
individual rights turn into group rights. It is the place where
non-existence becomes existence, where the resources and
responsibilities of one generation turn into the resources and
responsibilities of another.
Hence, people should look for
solutions at the collective, governmental level, not on the individual
or grassroots level. Simply dumping responsibilities for these matters
into the laps of individuals will not be acceptable. We must solve these
problems together, even if it means a sacrifice.
Sign-by-Sign Advice
These
Saturn and North Node placements mean that everyone will soon find
themselves focused on a complicated and demanding problem in a vital
area of their life.
I have tried to address this on a sign-by-sign basis in my October sign-by-sign forecast. It is now available on this blog.
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto Unleashed
During
planetary cycles, like the Saturn/Uranus cycle, when the faster planet,
Saturn separates from the slower planet, Uranus, Uranus rules Saturn;
Saturn is subordinated to Uranus.
This is not a particularly
healthy arrangement. Uranus tends to express without the benefit of
Saturn’s wise and sober guiding hand. Sound reasoning does not prevail.
Loopier, more fringy, extremist ideas tend to prevail. Freakish behavior
increases.
Sense and decency take a back seat. Irrationality and
irresponsibility gain the upper hand in every area of our lives,
including and especially the political.
When,
as has been the case for a year or two, Saturn opposes Uranus, Uranus
competes with Saturn. Saturn is still unable to suppress the loopier,
more fringy, extremist Uranian impulses. Irrationality and
irresponsibility maintain the upper hand.
On
October 5th, when Saturn enters Scorpio, Saturn will be approaching
Uranus, moving slowly toward conjunction with Uranus. During this part
of the Saturn/Uranus cycle, Uranus is subordinate to Saturn. Less
rational, less responsible, freakish Uranian impulses will tend to be
inhibited or suppressed.
Since
2002-2003, a similar shift has occurred in the all three major Saturn
cycles, including the Saturn/Pluto and Saturn/Neptune cycles. As of
October 5th, Saturn is in a dominant position in all three major Saturn
cycles. This is a watershed development.
Three
major planetary ingresses occurred between January 2008 and February
2011. A new, highly energetic arrangement of the outer planets came into
play. Our lives entered a rebuilding phase, a phase of profound,
continual, systemic transformation.
These powerful energies
are, of course, subject to dangerous abuses: political manipulation,
demagoguery, deception or outright political folly can occur on a grand
scale.
Power and the public trust can be grossly abused on every
level. Individual behavior can be similarly irrational, irresponsible
and abusive. Such abuse becomes disturbingly commonplace while Saturn
is separating from any or all of the outer planets.
Under present
circumstances, with all three outer planets in close, synergistic
relationship, the abuse would tend to continue as long as even one of
the planets remained free of Saturn’s restraining influence.
Hence,
while Saturn remained subordinate to Uranus, the great transformational
energies now at work continued to support, or at least allow, an
alarmingly high degree of irrational and irresponsible behavior. With
Pluto, Neptune and Uranus all so powerfully placed and still effectively
unbridled, world conditions remained treacherous.
The Nick of Time
On
October 5th, with the transformational process about to shift into high
gear, Saturn, will seize the reins from Uranus. With the help of the
North Node, Saturn will solidify its influence over the global
transformational process. And not a moment too soon.
With all
three major planets under Saturn’s influence, irrationality,
irresponsibility and the abuse of power will be sharply curtailed.
Freakish behavior will tend to diminish. Although such things can
probably never be completely eliminated from world affairs.
Saturn
and the North Node will exercise their chastening, sobering power from
Scorpio, the sign that governs all of the crucial issues of our time.
More specifically, sober, sensible Saturn, backed up by the North Node
is ruling October’s volatile, high-energy chart.
So, thanks to
Saturn and the North Node, a month that might have marked the peak of
treacherously irrational and irresponsible behavior will, instead, usher
in a restoration of sanity, reason and decency.
We must expect
impatience and frustration with the slow pace Saturn always sets.
However, with the North Node ready, willing and able to impose a
penalty for any misstep, the majority will likely come to embrace
Saturn’s sobering, steadying influence.
