Human Design Neutrino forecast for November 2013

This is the "November Neutrino Forecast for 2013".
    Back in May of this year I began to include the Human Design Neutrino Forecast in my "Care and Feeding of a New World Age" reports that aired every 13 days, but with the growth of both reports, I was invited to rework the Neutrino Forecast into its own presentation. This November 2013 report represents the first solo flight of this offering. For those that are new to this system I thought I'd share some history. Human Design was the fruit of an 8 day revelation to Ra Uru Hu in 1987, which yielded the "design of forms" of which Human represents one of the forms. If you enjoy a great story of a descent into madness and return, I highly recommend watching "Encounter with the Voice" which I believe is available for streaming on jovianarchive.com. The system that analyzes the flow of matter and energy in the Neutrino Ocean, was revealed at the time of a super nova, a death of a star's vast explosion reaching earth, increasing the normal Neutrino density by three times for a period of fourteen minutes. Human Design is based on four ancient wisdom systems as a bridge to understanding our potential, to discover our path to making decisions that are correct for us as individuals: those are the traditions of Astrology, the I'Ching, the Hindu Brahmin Chakra system, and Kabalistic Tree of Life.
     You're probably wondering how these systems work together in HD? We start by looking at the position of the Sun, Moon, Planets, and Nodes as we would in astrology, except instead of relating them to the Zodialogical constellations and each other by the angles they make, we look at them in relation to the hexagrams of the I'Ching, which are then mapped to specific locations in the body graph. For instance at the beginning of November we have the Sun in Scorpio also in the 44th hexagram. The shapes inside the body graph are called centers and represent the next stage in our evolution as humans from having seven chakras to having nine centers. The pathways between the centers are called channels and are from the Kabala. For these reports I primarily use three texts, Ra Uru Hu's "The Complete Rave I'Ching", "Circuitry: A Complete Guide to Circuits, Channels, and Gates" by Richard Rudd, and "Incarnation Crosses" also by Ra Uru Hu.
      We left off our exploration into Human Design with the 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom "Care and feeding of a New World Age" video, so I'll cover the time from October 26th to the 31st to bring us to date for the November Neutrino Forecast. We had Venus in the 26th hexagram and with Saturn and the North Node in the 44 for the Channel of Surrender until the 28th of October. This was the design of the Transmitter. This conditions us to believe we have an instinct for knowing how to present anything to anyone and get our message recognized. This channel definition works best when it is invited, because when someone asks, they have opened their aura to what you wish to share. This can be manipulative and folks who have this in their rave charts can "sell ice to Eskimos". During this time period people were more convincing in their presentation whether it be a message, product, or truth, with the aim to get paid more for doing less.
The black strips of paper in this diagram represent the gates activated by the Sun, Planets, and Nodes regardless if they form a channel. I'm not going to follow the moon with this demonstration, because it moves so fast that it activates three to four gates a day.
The first change to the transits was 10/28 when Venus moved from the 26 to 11 in the Ajna center.
On the 29th retrograde Mercury moved from the 1 to 44 and Saturn moved from the 44 to 1 Passing each other like "Ships in the night".
10/30 Uranus retrograded from the 21 to 17  in the Ajna center. The 17th gate is about opinions and I remember experiencing a great deal of unexpected opinions, which in some cases led to arguments, when Uranus was last in the 17. Also on the 30th the Sun moved from the 28 to 44 in the Splenic center, and the Earth moved from the 27 to 24 also in the Ajna center. Which is where the Sun and Earth are at the beginning of November. The Sun in the 44th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, and which is the 44th gate of "Coming to Meet", located on the upper edge of the Splenic center in an tribal energy path called the "Channel of Surrender " when connected to the 26 which we saw at the beginning of this report. I have found HD to be so amazingly accurate that I use it as my primary tool when I provide readings. We have the following hanging gates or potentials at the beginning of November; the Sun, North node, and Mercury in the 44th gate, the Earth and the South Node in the 24, Venus in the 11, Mars in the 40, Jupiter in the 53, Saturn in the 1, Uranus in the 17, Neptune in the 55, and Pluto in the 58. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart", and entering your birth information.
On November 1st we have the Sun in the 44th hexagram which the Rave I'Ching describes as "The success of any interaction is based on the absence of any preconditions". It's in the 2nd line "Management: the possibility that alertness to patterns will result in management capabilities" until 2:34 pm EDT when it shifts to the 3rd line "Interference: The failure to interact based on circumstances, with various levels of alertness and instinct to handle the ego of others".
On the 2nd the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 44 at 1:02 pm EDT, where the Sun is detrimented, which is described as "Honesty: The refusal to engage in hypocritical interaction, but for self sustainment the sacrifice of indifference for survival". Basically this is an energetic where we may accept help from forces we had previously rejected.
November 3rd, Mercury retrogrades from the 44 to the 28, Venus shifts from the 11 to the 10 in the G center, and Mars moves from the 40 to the 64 in the Head. On the 3rd the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 44th hexagram at 10:30 am EST. Typically the line change is approximately 1 hour 40 minutes earlier than the previous day. But due to the change from daylight savings to standard time, the time is an hour earlier. The Sun in the 44.5 is "Manipulation: the recognition of patterns leads to the possible manipulation of others."
The big news on the 4th, Pluto moves from the 58 to the 38 to connect with Mercury in the 28 giving us the Channel of Struggle which will be affecting us until November 18th. This is unusually long due to Mercury being retrograde, then coming to a stop, and slowly moving forward all in the 28th hexagram during this time period. This brings experiences where people struggle against overwhelming odds. It is through this archetypal "hero's journey" of fighting for our purpose that empowers others to stubbornly fight for what holds meaning for them. This is about empowerment that comes from being who we are meant to be instead of following the conditioning of our families, schools, religions and governments. It's an individual channel, which are said to be deaf, so they don't hear the other and become distracted from their authentic path. Also on November 4 the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 44th hexagram at 8:57 am EST. The Sun in the 44.6 is "Aloofness: awareness of patterns which ensures one's instinctive well-being."
On the 5th the Sun moves from the 44th to the 1st hexagram and the Earth moves from the 24th to the 2nd gate. This shift happens at 7:22 am EST with the Sun in the 1st gate of "Self Expression (the Creative): Creation as a primal force. The energy potential to manifest inspiration without limitation", in 1st line "Creation is independent of will: self expression through special timing and patience."
The Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 1st hexagram on the 6th at 5:49 am EST which is keynoted as "Love is light: Self expression conditioned by ideals and values or desires and passions"
November 7th we have the Sun in the 1st hexagram in the 3rd line at 4:14 am EST which is "The energy to sustain creative work: deep need for self expression, which can be disrupted by materialism".
On the 8th the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 1st hexagram at 2:38 am EST, which is described as "Aloneness as a medium of creativity: Creativity that must develop outside of influence and can be limited by the need to have influence."
On the 9th Venus moves from the 10 to the 58 and the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 1st hexagram at 1:02 am EST. The Sun in the 1.5 is "The energy to attract society: The power and drive to stay with the creative process, eccentricity may limit the drive." Then the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 1st hexagram at 11:26 pm EST. The Sun in the 1.6 is "Objectivity: Clarity in creative expression with subjectivity leading to frustration."
On the 10th the Sun moves from the 1st to 43rd hexagram and the Earth from the 2nd to the 23rd gate. This shift happens at 9:49 pm EST the Sun in the 43rd gate of "Insight (Breakthrough):  In order for achievement to be maintained a new order must be fairly established", in 1st line is "Patience: new forms cannot be established until resistance has been eliminated and impatience leads to lack of depth to establish new forms." The 43-23 is one of three polarities that form a channel. The others are the 34-20 and 37-40. November 10th brings us the Channel of Structuring until November 16th. This is about individuals having amazing insights, that require two conditions be fulfilled to be recognized by others. First the person who has an epiphany needs to wait to be invited to share his or her insight, and second they need to explain their idea in a step by step process so that their audience can methodically understand how this quantum leap in thinking was arrived at. More likely this will be a time period where people blurt out whatever is on their minds, so I suspect we will encounter more freaks than geniuses.
The Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 43rd hexagram on the 11th at 8:12 pm EST. The Sun is detrimented in the 43.2 which is keynoted as "Dedication: The incautious urge for expression that will abandon its normal process when an opportunity arises."
November 12th we have the Sun in the 43rd hexagram in the 3rd line at 6:34 pm EST which is "Expediency: Where condemnation must be endured to achieve the goal and oversensitivity to condemnation may result in failure".
The 13th has Mars moving from the 64 to the 47, and the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 43rd hexagram at 4:56 pm EST, which is described as "The one track mind: A stubborn reliance on unique insights that demands mental focus to be conceptualized, where limited knowledge and vanity lead to expression without depth."
On the 14th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 43rd hexagram at 3:17 pm EST. The Sun in the 43.5 is "Progression: The gift in knowing when unique insight can be shared effectively with others."
The 15th of November has Venus moving from the 58 to the 38, and the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 43rd hexagram at 1:37 pm EST. The Sun is exalted in the 43.6 which is "Breakthrough: Unique knowing that is both personally and collectively of value."
On the 16th the Sun moves from the 43 to the 14 and the Earth from the 23 to the 8. This shift happens at 11:58 am EST the Sun in the 14th gate of "Power skills (Possession in great measure): The accumulation and retention of power through skilled interaction, coupling grace with control", in the 1st line it is "Money isn't everything: The recognition that wealth has its own problems and the key to power is higher principles." November 16th also brings us the Channel of Inspiration with the Earth in the 8th gate and Saturn in the 1st. This energy will be present until the 22nd, which will be a time period when people have the courage to stand out in a crowd by being their authentic self. This is very creative and is exhibited as self expression in their own unique way. As another individual channel it brings empowerment to those who model being different and inspirational. Expect people to dress differently from the crowd.
The Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 14th hexagram on the 17th at 10:17 am EST. The Sun in the 14.2 is keynoted as "Management: The wisdom that investing in expertise brings rewards, to delegate responsibility, rather than doing everything individually."
November 18th Mercury moves from the 28 to the 44 and the Sun in the 14th hexagram moves into the 3rd line at 8:36 am EST which is "Service: The utilization of talent and wealth for the highest good, power lies in selfless contribution to others, were as selfishness fuels greed."
The 19th we have the Sun moving into the 4th line of the 14th hexagram at 6:55 am EST, which is described as "Security: The concentration on establishing a strong foundation, whereas overconfidence may threaten security."
On November 20th the North Node moves from the 44 to the 28 and South Node moves from 24 to 27. The Sun moves into the 5th line of the 14th hexagram at 5:13 am EST. The Sun in the 14.5 is exalted and keynoted as "Arrogance: The ever present risk in positions of power, innate dignity is the key to power." It's back... the Channel of Struggle and this time with Pluto and the North Node creating the definition we'll feel the struggle for months... Until January 31st 2014! This brings experiences where people struggle against overwhelming odds. It is through this archetypal "hero's journey" of fighting for our purpose that empowers others to stubbornly fight for what holds meaning for them. This is about empowerment that comes from being who we are meant to be instead of following the conditioning of our families, schools, religions and governments. As an individual channel it is said to be deaf, so folks don't hear the other and become distracted from their authentic path. To me the key to utilizing this energetic is that the struggle is worthwhile when you are fighting for something that has meaning and purpose in your life. We'll have several months to learn from our struggles or simply be conditioned by them. Follow your Human Design strategy and authority and your purpose will unfold.
The 21st has the Sun moving into the 6th line of the 14th hexagram at 3:30 am EST. The Sun exalted in the 14.6 is keynoted as "Humility: Wealth and power at its most exalted, with spirituality being the key to acceptance and the source of power."
On the 22nd Venus moves from the 38 to the 54, and the Sun moves from 14 to 34 in the Sacral center, and Earth moves from 8 to 20 in the throat center. This shift happens at 1:47 am EST when the Sun enters in the 34th gate of "Power (The power of the great): Power is only great when its display or use serves the common good", in the 1st line it is "The bully: The indiscriminate use of power." November 22nd brings us another polarity alignment in the form of the Channel of Charisma until November 27th. This will influence us to become busier in the now, where the things we think about become the experiences we are having. Expect folks to be deeply involved in their daily activities and unaware of the expectations of others. People are not likely to even notice how busy they are, with the possibility of erupting spontaneously without an awareness of why. They will be in their own little world, "out of sight, out of mind."
On the 23rd of November Mercury moves from the 44 to the 1 and Mars moves from 47 to 6. The Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 34th hexagram on the 23rd at 00:03 am EST. The Sun in the 34.2 is keynoted as "Momentum: Power grows when victory is insight and can be limited by impatience." The Sun then moves into the 3rd line of the 34th hexagram at 10:19 pm EST which is "Machismo: The indiscriminate display of power that defines the role."
The 24th we have the Sun move into the 4th line of the 34th hexagram at 8:34 pm EST, which is described as "Triumph: The freedom in absolute victory to unlimited use of power, confidence leads subtle use of power, whereas lack of confidence leads to abuse of power."
The Sun moves into the 5th line of the 34th hexagram at 6:49 pm EST on November 25th. The Sun in the 34.5 is keynoted as "Annihilation: The total elimination of resistance, using power only when necessary."
The 26th has the Sun moving into the 6th line of the 34th hexagram at 5:03 pm EST. The Sun exalted in the 34.6 is keynoted as "Common sense: Knowing when enough is enough. When you've bitten off more than you can crew, spit part of it out."
On the 27th the Sun moves from the 34 to the 9 in the Sacral center and Earth moves from 20 to 16 in the throat and Mercury moves from 1 to 43. The Sun Earth shift happens at 3:16 pm EST when the Sun enters in the 9th gate of "Focus (The taming power of the small): potential can be fulfilled through detailed attention to all pertinent aspects", in the 1st line it is "Sensibility: A balanced and responsible approach to problem solving, the power to focus to avoid frustration in creating new forms".
The Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 9th hexagram on the 28th at 01:29 pm EST. The Sun in the 9.2 is keynoted as "Misery loves company: Collaboration that leads to focus and tempers frustration."
On the 29th Venus moves from the 54 to the 61 which is the last gate change of November. The Sun moves into the 3rd line of the 9th hexagram at 11:42 am EST which is its detriment and keynoted as "The straw that breaks the camel's back: The overlooked minor element that always predetermines failure. The power to turn focus into obsession."
The 30th we have the Sun moving into the 4th line of the 9th hexagram at 9:54 am EST, which is described as "Dedication: Regardless of the pressures or stress the disciplined attention to detail."
    So no matter what energies are conditioning you during November, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being truly present with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

October 26th to November 7th 2013

This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of October 26th 2013 for 1 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also the Scorpio New Moon Solar Eclipse, Venus moving into Capricorn, Jupiter turning retrograde, and the fourth Uranus Pluto square.
     October 26th 2013 is 1 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering which carries the themes of water, rain collected in water pots, vessels of gratitude for life, clouds heavy with rain, the sacred jade stones used in rituals and burials, offerings made in ceremony, baptisms and purification, deep undercurrents of emotions, restoring equilibrium, appreciation for creation, releasing negative patterns, energy, and emotions and accepting change. The day glyph for Offering depicts a fish who represents the Mayan water deity. I love the connection between the fish of Offering and all the Water energy of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Neptune and Chiron in Pisces of this report period, not to mention we are currently in the Chinese year of the Water Snake. The energy of this thirteen day period is about gratitude for life and cleansing the past for transformation in the present.
     I got a lot of great feedback from the 1 Cib "Care and feeding", and have reworked the Neutrino Forecast into its own video series also available on Youtube and Facebook under New World Birth. So from now on Care and Feeding will focus on the Mayan Tzolkin and Astrology and each month the Human Design Neutrino Forecast will be a separate offering.
      November is the eleventh month and with the digits for 2013, when added together we get 8, then we have an eight month in numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc the 8 represents a time of picking up the pace as we our preparing to complete the cycle next month. This can also bring revisions to financial situations, businesses, investments, and industry. The eight is represented by the Justice/Adjustment archetype in the Tarot cards, which is about finding balance in our path to know ourselves. This also brings the energy that what is begun must be completed.
    Before I get into the daily energy for 1 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering trecena, on October 26th 2013 all the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Mercury, Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Mercury is retrograde until November 10th so the end of October and the beginning of November would be a good time to avoid signing contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after Mercury is moving direct. Mercury retrogrades force us to slow down and pay more attention to our lives by making us focus on the details of our daily experience. When looking at a retrograde cycle of any of the personal or inner planets, it provides information about a correction to our present course. Mercury traveled through the first stage of the retrograde process which started on 10/1, when it passed the point where it will appear to move forward again on 11/10. That first stage represented the shadow time between passing 2 degrees Scorpio, the point where the planet will eventually begin moving forward again and the point where the planet slows, stops, and begins moving in reverse, 18 degrees Scorpio. During the first stage we received information about needing to adjust our direction. The second stage is the actual time of Mercury retrograde and is a time to watch the events that occur related to the information received in the 1st stage. The 3rd stage begins when the planet is moving forward again until crossing the line where it originally turned retrograde. During the 3rd stage we move forward with a revision to our previous course. We entered the 1st stage for Mercury on October 1st, so until October 21st, we received information about an adjustment that needs to be made in our lives. Mercury is retrograde from 10/21 at 18 Scorpio until 11/10 at 2 Scorpio which now is the time we will notice events that shift our thinking, and from November 10th to November 27th, we will be in the 3rd stage where we implement the change in direction from the awareness gained through experiencing this process. This Mercury retrograde is intertwined with the Uranus Pluto square, because the day retrograde Mercury conjuncts the Sun is November 1st, the day of the fourth Uranus Pluto square, when the down trodden authentic individual rebel squares off against the decaying power structures. The material world continues to destabilize, so it is very important to support local providers and have a strong spiritual foundation. This is a time we feel like our backs are against the wall. We have no choice but to change or endure something that was once unthinkable. Uranus gives us something unexpected.  This goes beyond dealing with the consequences of bad choices or poor planning, but random events where folks are just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
    I've discussed in depth the implications of the other planets moving retrograde in the past reports, so I'll just keynote each one. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. Retrograde Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very foundation to shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living through reversals and unexpected events. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is seeking transcendence through spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness, while we are in the middle of four years of the unexpected rebellion of the individual (Uranus in Aries) challenging the decaying power structure (Pluto in Capricorn).
    The big change for the 1 - Muluc "moo-luke" trecena begins with Jupiter appearing to be stopped at the opening of this thirteen day period prior to appearing to move retrograde or in reverse motion from the perspective of the Earth on November 7th at 20 degrees of Cancer. So when the 1 - Offering trecena begins, Jupiter is stopped and at the peak of its power. Jupiter was the king of the gods, and the planet is about good fortune, opportunities, faith, religion, beliefs and expansion. Cancer is about family, home, nurturing, and protection, so we will see these themes expanded at the end of October and into November. Jupiter entered into its retrograde shadow period on August 13, 2013 which developed opportunities that will be reviewed when Jupiter turns retrograde on November 7th. Mostly what I find with Jupiter retrograde, as with any retrograde cycle there is a review of the past, and with Jupiter what gets reviewed are missed opportunities. When Jupiter turns direct on March 6th 2014 at 10 degrees of Cancer, we will have become aware of a change in course regarding how we will expand our opportunities to protect and nurture our families and homes. Jupiter will take a few days to build momentum in moving reverse. In your personal life you may want to look at 20 degrees Cancer to become aware of the house that is currently feeling Jupiter's expansive influence. For me, Jupiter is in my 2nd house of possessions, earning power and money. So this retrograde time I may find myself reviewing my finances and deciding what activities are worth expanding and what situations are draining my resources with little material benefit. Time will tell.
    We talked about the Uranus Pluto square in past reports as being 7 occurrences from 2012 to 2015, whose theme is the individual (Aries) revolutionary, upsetting (Uranus) the decaying and dying (Pluto) power structures (Capricorn). So we are approaching the midpoint where the critical mass shifts from the old paradigm to the new. I mentioned my favorite example of this taking hold was when the reporter asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry if there was anyway Syria could avoid military intervention and Kerry responded "He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community, in the next week... turn it over... all of it... without delay and allow a full and total accounting for that... But he isn't about to do it and it can't be done, obviously." If anyone deserves a Nobel Peace Prize it's the person who asked the question that changed the course of history. That is the power of the individual to upset the power structure from following the status quo. And here in the US the old boy network is spouting that the United States is being seen as weak because we didn't attack Syria. To me finding a peaceful solution always requires more strength. Also here in the United States we had our government shut down by "Tea Party" politicians who tried to overturn the democratic process by extortion. They were unhappy with the laws that were being constitutionally enacted, so they held the federal government hostage, until the 11th hour when the United States would have defaulted on its debts. Fortunately sanity prevailed and the "Tea Party" conservatives are now being seen for the whining infants they are, rather than adults working within the system they swore an oath to uphold: People who are willing to destroy the USA if they cannot get their way. With this Uranus Pluto midpoint square, we are seeing the end of the corrupt power wielded by the Tea Party, a fake grassroots movement of  Republicans, whose agenda has been to increase their wealth by destroying the environment, the rights of minorities and women, and the health and wellbeing of the citizens. Thank you Pluto in Capricorn for tearing down this corrupt and decaying power structure.
   The Uranus Pluto square on November 1st is very powerful. With at least 10 strong planetary alignments at the time of the square. With so many planets at 9 degrees and change, it's like a shooting gallery, or when I first saw the chart it looked like a light saber battle. We have Mars trine Pluto, opposing Chiron, and inconjunct Uranus and the Moon squaring Pluto and opposing Uranus leading up to the square, which is followed by Mercury and the Sun merged together as they sextile Mars and inconjunct Uranus, so we have the "Finger of Fate" pointing at Uranus. Mercury and the Sun are sextile Pluto, as is Chiron. This tells a story. In the war between the Titans, Pluto is direct and well supported by Mars, the Sun, Mercury, and Chiron. The challenger, Uranus is retrograde and has nothing but detrimental connection with other planets. I see this as the scrappy Uranus, being backed into a corner by Pluto and his entourage, but Uranus is as unpredictable as an injured cornered wild animal. The results will be unexpected and most likely violent. Since Neptune is not a player in this chart, I don't believe there will be deception involved, I suspect this will be an overt incident or incidents that present us with an experience like a chemical reaction where some things are forever changed into a new material. I think November 1st will be a time we look back on as THE moment when the quantum shift occurred, when we experienced something that cannot be undone, the ship sailing over the edge of the world, the point of no return.
    Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. October 26th 2013 is 1 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: unity experienced through appreciating creation, with the Last Quarter Moon in Leo being challenged by the Sun in Scorpio which brings challenges to our daily routines. The 27th is 2 - Oc "awk" or Dog: duality experienced through enjoying family and friends, while the Moon in Leo finds support from Uranus, and is challenged by Saturn and Mercury. The day moves from having the impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive and having a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities outside our daily routine, to later feeling lonely or isolated, to finally folks being critical in their communications particularly with the people they have intimate relationships with and our moods influencing our ability to think rationally. October 28th is 3 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: taking action through creating something new, with Pluto sextile Chiron empowering us by exposing our hidden or forgotten wounds to the light of day so healing is possible. We also have the Leo Moon supported by Venus which has us enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions. The 29th is 4 - Eb "eb" or Road : stability through serving your community, while retrograde Mercury merges with Saturn for the second time, which makes folks cautious again. On the positive side we are more precise in our thinking, and detail oriented in our communication. If you previously outlined a general plan, this allows you to fill in the details. Critical thinking is very sharp and can see flaws in any argument including our own. This transit can be an obstacle for seeing the big picture. We can see the distinction of the different trees but not the forest. At worst this can create difficulty in communication, because we may be afraid to reveal something, so we say nothing due to negative thinking that often accompanies this transit. This is the time to speak up because what is not expressed can injure someone. Overall this requires discipline, and commitment to our ethics and values. The 29th the Virgo Moon is opposed by Neptune, in harmony with the Sun, merges with Mars, and is supported by Pluto which moves us from feeling sensitive emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of what's being felt, to later feelings of inner and outer equanimity, then experiencing irritable moods and critical communications, and finally with Pluto bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual relationships. October 30th is 5 - Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: empowerment through maintaining the home, as the Moon in Virgo is in harmony with Mercury, Saturn, and Jupiter, and challenged by Venus, the day moves from lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, and coworkers, to having realistic expectations through being calm and reflective, then later feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness, and finally having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones. The 31st is 6 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: being in the flow through enjoying nature, while Mars trine Pluto wraps up the month of October, with a supportive connection between the traditional and modern rulers of Scorpio and an alignment between planet octaves. Mars representing our desires and personal will and Pluto is the transcendent will of the Universe and the empowerment of the authentic self. A trine between Mars and Pluto is good for making changes in our lives and to become more effective in changing the world around us. This can stimulate peoples' ambitions without others feeling threatened. With Pluto involved the Martian ego gets sublimated so our efforts should be for the greater good or we will sow the seeds of our own self undoing. Mars is opposite Chiron which brings aggressive wounding and/or healing through action. The Libra Moon makes no angles which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. November 1st is 7 - Men "men" – Eagle: reflection through seeing from a higher perspective, and Uranus and Pluto's fourth exact square of seven, which tips the scale towards the new paradigm, as the past three have been deconstructing the old paradigm. The themes of revolution, transformation, tension between the material and spiritual worlds, upheaval, along with death and rebirth are particularly potent at this time. Acceleration of transformation related to the revolution and evolution is increasing exponentially. This is the peak of the energy for unexpected change as old ways, old structures are crumbling to prepare us for transformation. This is one of the undercurrents that will be most powerful during the continuing challenging square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn at 9 degrees. These challenging angles between Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution and unexpected change in Aries, the sign of the individual, challenging Pluto the planet of death and destruction but also rebirth, in the sign of Capricorn representing structures including governments and corporations, is the most powerful transit of our time. These two titans have exact confrontations an amazing seven times between 2012 and 2015. Usually this type of transit occurs three or five times. Seven times is unusual and very intense. As I've said before the world will be a very different place by the end of 2015. Also on the 1st we have Mercury sextile Mars which brings a busy day with folks having more energy than usual for their own projects. This is a day where working for someone else's benefit does not inspire diligence but more likely resentment. If you can use the day to work on what's of interest to you, it will seem like a good use of all this energy. Since others are feeling the same way, plan on working independently of others. There is energy for convincing others of your point of view, but they also have the energy to convince you of their perspective. This might be a day to avoid people and conversations that could lead to arguments, because this has a competitive edge to it. We can be confident in our ideas and beliefs to initiate something that should be successful as long as we don't need others to bring it to fruition. And we have Sun sextile Pluto which empowers us make changes in our immediate environment and reform the aspects of our lives that have brought us unhappiness over time. Embrace the opportunities on the 1st that can be used for the improvement of the general good. Scorpio Sun in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn brings a few days to seize opportunities and use this strange creative energy to benefit the greater good and spiritual empowerment. Along with the Sun merging with retrograde Mercury, which prior to turning retrograde Mercury appears to be way out in front of the Sun, then retrogrades back to conjoin the Sun, and then falls behind the Sun. Prior to mechanized warfare Generals would send their cavalry ahead of the infantry to scout out the enemy's location, find possible resources, as well as the lay of the terrain to move the troops with maximum efficiency, safety and to their strategic advantage. I like to think of Mercury when it is stretching out in front of the Sun as gathering intelligence to report back to our consciousness' during its conjunction to the Sun. Using these two markers connected with a rubber band, I am hoping to illustrate this pattern. When Mercury, represented by the black marker, is in front of the Sun, represented by the red marker, it becomes easier to be overwhelmed by the increase in new information that seems to have no place to be deposited. This can increase our anxiety and the sense of losing control. As Mercury retrogrades the tension decreases until it merges with the Sun, which occurs on November 1st, finding the destination for the intelligence it has gathered. Once behind the Sun, Mercury feels as though it is creating drag that retards the possibility of implementing the new data until it regains forward motion in its pursuit of the Sun on November 10th. On the 1st we also have Mercury sextile Pluto with Mercury turning retrograde, this is the second of these alignments. This energetic loves the mysterious and wants to know what cannot be known. Our minds are active in penetrating below the surface in a search for core knowledge and real knowledge in our search for truth. This is great energy for studying psychology, astrology, occult subjects, and healing techniques that are aimed at regeneration. Folks may be certain of their "truths" and engage in trying to convince others who are also certain of their personal truth, so this pairing might be better to focus on our own investigation and save persuading others for another day. Also on the 1st we have the Moon in Libra activating the Uranus Pluto square 5 hours before its exactitude, by being challenged by Pluto and Jupiter, and opposing Uranus, which starts with having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run with folks emotionally excitable and impulsive and later having benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment. The 2nd is 8 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: balance through introspection, meditation and forgiveness; we have the 2nd Mercury trine Chiron which will have folks being conscious of and talking about their wounds so they can continue the healing process, while the Moon harmonizes with Venus and finds support from Neptune, which moves from wanting to be with friends and the people we love to later our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work. November 3rd is 9 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: patience experienced through gratitude for Mother Earth, with the Scorpio New Moon solar eclipse with the moon merging with Mercury, the Sun, and Saturn, harmonizing with Pluto and Mars, and finding support from Jupiter. Eclipses are particularly powerful where they can be viewed which will be over the Atlantic Ocean and Africa. There is something primordial about eclipses that even with modern knowledge of the event, they still stir some deep animal uncertainty within. In Scorpio, emotions and passions are intensified along with Mercury transiting this point three times during its retrograde cycle there is a strong possibility of hidden information being revealed particularly on November 22nd, which will be the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination and also a Friday. New moons bring the opportunity to set an intension for manifestation on the following full moon. Look to the house of your astrology chart that contains 11 Scorpio to consider what area of your life is being activated by this new moon. For me it is the fifth house of children and creativity, so I expect this cycle to provide new information about my creative process and perhaps my relationships with children. This new moon has great energy for a fresh start particularly related to spiritual commitment and transformation as we become more aware of our authentic inner selves. The planetary angles to this lunation are for the most part positive with positive energy for integrating our thoughts and moods, experiencing deep emotions on a profound level, the desire to work independently from others, wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings, and feelings of inner and outer equanimity. It's interesting that this eclipse occurs on the same degree of Scorpio as the first Mercury Saturn conjunction on October 8th. The Sabian symbol for 11 degrees Scorpio is "A Drowning man being rescued", which is the essence of love with a profound sense of the interrelatedness with his fellow man. The new beginnings associated with the transformation of events through values, motives, and ethics. This New Moon Solar Eclipse empowers us with new opportunities, environments, circumstances and situations, in the days following a shift to a new paradigm. Also the Sun sextile Mars is great for taking positive actions and accomplishing all kinds of work. This is a high energy transit which is favorable for physical activities and overall health. A great day for a group project as it promotes working with others. People will feel in a self assertive mood today, and are not inclined to back down, so it would be wise to seek common ground when dealing with differing opinions. The 4th is 10 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: manifestation through being introspective, with the Sagittarius Moon challenged by Neptune with daydreams and fantasies feeling more important than reality. November 5th is 11 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: resolution through recognizing the gifts in adversity, while Venus moves into Capricorn which brings caution and carefulness to love relationships and social interactions. Capricorn brings a practicality to love. It also seeks security in partnering which includes material comforts, with the Moon in Sagittarius finding support from Uranus, and challenged by Mars, the day moves from a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities outside our daily routine to later having the potential for people to be irritable and have needless disputes. The 6th is 12 - Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: understanding through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, while the Sun conjuncts Saturn bringing more attention to our responsibilities, to do the tasks where we feel an obligation to others. What is accomplished today will have lasting significance, as the Sun merges with Saturn at 14 degrees Scorpio illuminating boundaries and discipline in our lives. This can also bring new responsibilities. It usually brings low energy, so concentrate on what tasks need to accomplished, and let what can wait for another day, wait for another day, as the Capricorn Moon merges with Venus and harmonizes with Neptune and Mercury which moves from feeling cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and socialize, with greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open, to finally experiencing an increase in communications of all kinds. November 7th is 13 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: movement to the next stage through nurturing new beginnings, as Jupiter turns retrograde in Cancer. Retrogrades bring a time of review. Jupiter is about opportunities, so this may begin a time when people review their missed opportunities particularly related to home and family. For some this might be a time of thinking of a lost love with whom you considered having a family or making a home with, but as fate would have it that dream did not become a reality. Jupiter retrograde also has us reviewing any expansion we have encountered since Jupiter moved into Cancer on June 25th of this year. During this time of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, another water sign, this also signals a time of deeper awareness. With Venus in harmony with Neptune inspires creative and romantic imagination, and is very nice energy between the planet of romantic love and her higher octave the planet of unconditional love. This might be a time when we experience universal love through our personal relationships. This is also very creative and imaginative energy, that seeks and appreciates beauty. Exposure to art, music, or poetry could help renew our consciousness during the pleasant dreamy fog of this transit, with the Moon in Capricorn challenged by Uranus, merging with Pluto, finding support from Mars, and in harmony with Saturn and the Sun. The day begins with people likely to act hasty and jump to conclusions, and we have more intense moods rising to the surface from deep in our psyches, to later bringing the energy for asserting ourselves in a positive manner and standing our ground if necessary, with wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings, and finally feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds.
    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Offering trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

October 13th to October 25th 2013


This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of October 13th 2013 for 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also Mars moving into Virgo, the Aries Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, Mercury turning retrograde, and the Sun moving into Scorpio.

     October 13th 2013 is 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom which carries the themes of the old ones, ancient memories that wait at the sacred sites, protection of universal consciousness, inner strength, shared teachings, the Elders, clearing away the past like the vulture, forgiveness, making amends, great sages and keepers of the ancient records. Represented by the Vulture or Owl, this is a time of releasing the past through forgiveness which creates a grateful heart space to receive the wisdom of the ancients. The next thirteen days is about surrendering something that no longer serves to make room for transformation. This is a time to forgive others and ask for forgiveness not only from individuals, but also from our mother Earth.

    This being 1 Cib, I am reminded that New World Birth was founded 12-8-10 which was 1 Wisdom. So in that spirit, I'm wondering what do folks want to see more of and what are the things that are a distraction. I'm aware that the edgy topics are more popular. We added the Human Design forecast a few months ago, do folks think it's helpful?  I'd love your feedback so we can increase the value of our experience.

     I've included the Human Design transits for the trecena, along with the astrology and Tzolkin day signs. I'll quickly review some of that information before discussing the Neutrino Forecast for the current 1 - Wisdom 13 day period. We start by looking at the position of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Planets, and Nodes as we would in astrology, except instead of relating them to the Zodialogical constellations and each other, we look at them in relation to the hexagrams of the I'Ching, which are then mapped to specific locations in the body graph. For instance at the beginning of this trecena we have the Sun in Libra also in the 57th hexagram. The shapes inside the body graph are called centers and represent the next stage in our evolution as humans from having seven chakras to having nine centers. The pathways between the centers are called channels and are from the Kabala. The Sun in the 57th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, and which is the 57th gate of "Intuitive Clarity- The Gentle", located on the upper edge of the splenic center in an individual energy path called the "Channel of the Brainwave" when connected to the 20. Being part of the integration channels when the 57 is connected to the 34, we have the "Channel of Power" which was defined until the day before this trecena and was described on the previous "One Night" report. The other connection the 57 can make is with the 10 to form the "Channel of Perfected Form". I have found HD to be amazingly accurate and my primary tool when I provide readings. The black strips of paper in this diagram represent the gates activated by the Sun, Planets, and Nodes regardless if they form a channel. So we have the following hanging gates or potentials at the beginning of this 1 - Wisdom trecena; the Sun in the 57, the Earth in the 51, the North node in the 44 and South Node in the 24, Mercury in the 1, Venus in the 9, Mars in the 29, Jupiter in the 53, Saturn in the 44, Uranus in the 21, Neptune in the 55, and Pluto in the 58. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart", and entering your birth information. I'm not going to follow the moon with this demonstration, because it moves so fast that it activates three to four gates a day.

    On 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom, we have no defined channels. Later on the 13th the Earth moves into the 42 and with Jupiter in the 53 we have the Channel of Maturation until October 19th. Which brings energy to be cautious about starting something new, although I'm not sure how this will effect folks as a transit, for people who have this in their birth chart making a commitment must be followed to its conclusion. So I'd be careful about making a commitment, because this makes it very difficult to "get out of it" later. Its energetic is that we get the same experience over and over again, if we try to abort it before completion, which may take seven years. This may be a time that feels like the movie "Groundhog Day" with experiences of repeating cycles that slowly bring us to a state of maturity and wisdom. The wisdom that "all life is a journey that never ends." We may all feel more deeply attuned to the cycles of life for a few days as we are more apt to notice planetary cycles, body cycles, historical cycles... This also affects non-Generator types in feeling busy and having the endurance to work, but don't get used to it. With the Sun in the 32 it brings the fear of failure.

On the 23rd Venus moves into the 26 and with Saturn and the North Node in the 44 we have the Channel of Surrender until October 28th. This is the design of the Transmitter. This conditions us to believe we have an instinct for knowing how to present anything to anyone and get our message recognized. This channel definition works when it is invited, and when someone asks, they have opened their aura to what you wish to share. This can be manipulative and folks who have this in their rave charts can "sell ice to Eskimos". During this time period people will be more convincing in their presentation whether it be a message, product, or truth, with the aim to get paid more for doing less.

    Before I get into the daily energy for 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom trecena, on October 13th 2013 all the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. I've discussed in depth the implications of these planets moving retrograde in the past reports, so I'll just keynote each one. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. Retrograde Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very foundation to shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living through reversals and unexpected events. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is seeking transcendence through spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness, while we are in the middle of four years of the unexpected rebellion of the individual (Uranus in Aries) challenging the decaying power structure (Pluto in Capricorn).

    The big change in October is Mercury retrograde. Mercury is retrograde until November 10th so the end of October and the beginning of November would be a good time to avoid signing contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after Mercury is moving direct. Mercury retrogrades force us to slow down and pay more attention to our lives by making us focus on the details of our daily experience. When looking at a retrograde cycle of any of the personal or inner planets, it provides information about a correction to our present course. During this report period we have Mercury traveling through the first stage of the retrograde process which started on 10/1. There are two important points to be aware of in looking at the cycle. We look at the point where the planet appears to move backwards and the point where it appears to move forward again. The first stage represents the shadow time between passing 2 degrees Scorpio, the point where the planet will eventually begin moving forward again and the point where the planet slows, stops, and begins moving in reverse, 18 degrees Scorpio. During the first stage we receive information about needing to adjust our direction. The second stage is the retrograde phase and is a time to watch the events that occur related to the information received in the 1st stage. The 3rd stage begins when the planet is moving forward again until crossing the line where it originally turned retrograde. During the 3rd stage we move forward with a revision to our previous course. We entered the 1st stage for Mercury on October 1st, so until October 21st, we are receiving information about an adjustment that needs to be made in our lives. Mercury is retrograde from 10/21 at 18 Scorpio until 11/10 at 2 Scorpio which will be the time when we will notice events that shift our thinking, and from November 10th to November 27th, we are in the 3rd stage where we implement the change in direction from the awareness gained through experiencing this process.

    I think this is the most interesting Mercury retrograde I've seen in a long time, because during its course it will connect with several planets three times each. It will trine Neptune, conjunct Saturn, sextile Pluto, and trine Chiron with three events each. And on November 1st, the day it conjuncts the Sun, which happens in every Mercury retrograde, it will be exact on the day of the fourth Uranus Pluto square. This has me recall the Chinese proverb, and I believe curse, "May you live in interesting times." I've discovered that Mercury retrogrades repeat every 79 years, so look for the reoccurrence of themes from 1934, 1855 and 1776. Let's see if those were interesting times. 1934 saw the rise of fascism in Germany and Austria, coup attempts in France and Bulgaria, and the rise and fall of gangsters and bank robbers in the USA. What stuck out for me was the realization that 1934 was also one of the years of the previous Uranus Pluto squares, with Uranus in Aries as it is now, but Pluto in Cancer. This was an historical time period of global financial decline and increased fascism. 1855 brought the Great Gold Robbery of 1855 which occurred in England, rising conflicts between pro-slavery and anti slavery forces which began in Bleeding Kansas in the USA and the Taiping Rebellion in China which was one of the deadliest military conflicts in history, killing about 20 million people, mostly civilians. 1855 was the time period when Neptune was last in Pisces, as it is currently, which was also a time of more compassion for the suffering of slaves in the United States. 1776 saw the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence. Interestingly tactics that we look at as carried out by patriots in history, would now be acts of terrorism from our modern viewpoint, such as attaching a time bomb to the hull of the HMS Eagle or placing cannons on Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston Harbor. These are themes of the Trickster archetype, to use cleverness and covert actions rather than attempt to battle a powerful adversary on its own terms. 1776 also was a year where Pluto was in Capricorn, dismantling power structures that have out grown their usefulness, which is the last time period Pluto was in Capricorn until 2008, where it remains today. Clearly we are looking at cycles within cycles, the players have changed roles, but the themes of a decaying empire collapsing under its own weight, with individuals employing tactics of cleverness over direct confrontation, the oppressive power of fascist governments, economic decline increasing the chasm between the elite and the struggling throngs, and the growing compassion for those left without a voice are the fabric of our times.

    In the sign of Scorpio, the themes of powerful feelings, emotional awareness, and intuition, guiding our transformation through experiences of death and rebirth will be particularly apparent and could have a profound effect on our lives. If you look at the house of your astrological chart that contains 2 to18 degrees of Scorpio, you can find the theme where you will experience revisions, reviews and rethinking of the characteristics represented by that house. For me it is the fifth house of children and creativity, so I expect this cycle to provide new information about my creative process and perhaps my relationships with children. No matter where the Mercury retrograde occurs in your chart, this often leads to changing choices, goals, and directions. In the world look for the themes of transparency and bringing information to the surface, exposure of motives and ethics, which is all in line with the 'seven' month characteristics which we discussed in the last video related to the numerology of October 2013. 

    By the middle of October Mercury is slowing down as it stops and turns retrograde at 18 degrees Scorpio on the 21st. When a planet slows down to a stop from our perspective here on earth, that planet is considered to be at the peak of its power and Mercury being at the peak of its power reminds me that the Greek god Hermes, who the Romans renamed to Mercury, was also the trickster god. He was the messenger of the Gods and if you weren't on his good side you might not get your message or it might be altered to mean something different than was intended. In mythology the trickster is a god, goddess, woman, man, animal or spirit that creates mischief by playing tricks and acting outside of the accepted rules of their community. I've covered the trickster archetype in the past, but I do want share this quote from Joseph Campbell "Almost all non-literate mythology has a trickster-hero of some kind. . . . And there’s a very special property in the trickster: he always breaks in, just as the unconscious does, to trip up the rational situation. He’s both a fool and someone who’s beyond the system. And the trickster represents all those possibilities of life that your mind hasn’t decided it wants to deal with. The mind structures a lifestyle, and the fool or trickster represents another whole range of possibilities. He doesn’t respect the values that you’ve set up for yourself, and smashes them. . . . The fool is the breakthrough of the absolute into the field of controlled social orders." And that is a great description for Mercury retrograde. It also contains a formula for confronting a much more powerful foe. Being cunning over fighting on their terms.

    This Mercury retrograde is intertwined with the Uranus Pluto square, because the day retrograde Mercury conjuncts the Sun is November 1st, the day of the fourth Uranus Pluto square, when the down trodden authentic individual rebel squares off against the decaying power structures. The material world continues to destabilize, so it is very important to support local providers and have a strong spiritual foundation. This is a time we feel like our backs are against the wall. We have no choice but to change or endure something that was once unthinkable. Uranus gives us something unexpected.  This goes beyond dealing with the consequences of bad choices or poor planning, but random events where folks are just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I'll be covering this in more depth in New World Birth's next report.

    Just to get us started on this significant shift. We talked about the Uranus Pluto square in past shows as being 7 occurrences from 2012 to 2015, whose theme is the individual (Aries) revolutionary, upsetting (Uranus) the decaying and dying (Pluto) power structures (Capricorn). So we are approaching the midpoint where the critical mass shifts from the old paradigm to the new. My favorite example of this taking hold was when the reporter asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry if there was anyway Syria could avoid military intervention and Kerry responded "He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community, in the next week... turn it over... all of it... without delay and allow a full and total accounting for that... But he isn't about to do it and it can't be done, obviously." That question changed the course of history. That is the power of the individual to upset the power structure from following the status quo. And here in the US the old boy network is spouting that the United States is being seen as weak because we didn't attack Syria. To me finding a peaceful solution always requires more strength.

   The Uranus Pluto square on November 1st is very powerful. With at least 10 strong planetary alignments at the time of the square. With so many planets at 9 degrees and change, it's like a shooting gallery, or when I first saw the chart it looked like a light saber battle. We have Mars trine Pluto, opposing Chiron, and inconjunct Uranus and the Moon squaring Pluto and opposing Uranus leading up to the square, which is followed by Mercury and the Sun merged together as they sextile Mars and inconjunct Uranus, so we have the "Finger of Fate" pointing at Uranus. Mercury and the Sun are sextile Pluto, as is Chiron. This tells a story. In the war between the Titans, Pluto is direct and well supported by Mars, the Sun, Mercury, and Chiron. The challenger, Uranus is retrograde and has nothing but detrimental connection with other planets. I see this as the scrappy Uranus, being backed into a corner by Pluto and his entourage, but Uranus is as unpredictable as an injured cornered wild animal. The results will be unexpected and most likely violent. Since Neptune is not a player in this chart, I don't believe there will be deception involved, I suspect this will be an overt incident or incidents that present us with an experience like a chemical reaction where some things are forever changed into a new material. I think we will find that November 1st will be a time, we look back on as a point when the quantum shift occurred, when we experienced something that cannot be undone, the ship sailing over the edge of the world, the point of no return.

    Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. October 13th 2013 is 1 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: unity experienced through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, with the Aquarius Moon in harmony with Venus and Uranus, and challenged by Saturn and Mercury. The day moves from wanting to be with friends and the people we love, then pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine, later we have some folks feeling lonely or isolated, and finally our moods influencing our ability to think rationally. The 14th is 2 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: duality experienced through gratitude for Mother Earth, while the Moon is supported by the Sun, opposed by Mars and merges with Neptune. The day moves from having a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world, to then opposed by Mars which influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our personal lives, and finally feelings of empathy for those around us, including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those of us who are sensitive by nature. October 15th is 3 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: taking action through being introspective, as Mars moves into Virgo for a stay until December 7th, which brings organization and systemization to our drive at work or in service. Also this can bring a coolness to the expression of sexual energy, but under the surface there is an idealization of having both rapturous physical connections and exciting mental exchanges. Overall Mars' desire and passion is reined in while in Virgo. We may also see folks aggressively driving their cars while talking on their cell phones in an attempt to multitask to be more efficient, with mixed results. We also have the Pisces Moon challenged by Venus, in harmony with Pluto, and finding support from Saturn and Mercury, which moves from pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know better, with experiencing deep emotions on a profound level, and later a sober realistic view of life, and finally being more in touch with our feelings and able to share them with others. The 16th is 4 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: stability through recognizing the gifts in adversity, with Venus trine Uranus which wants social experiences and romantic encounters to be outside the norm, unusual, and surprising. This is a great day to try something out of the ordinary. The daily routine will just not cut it under this influence. Folks are looking to do something stimulating in their social lives and relationships. A day when there may be unique encounters and love relationships that begin under this influence are exciting, electric, unstable and short, but have a strong potential to change our lives. This could also bring unconventional agreements in our relationship such as agreeing to change from an exclusive coupling to experimenting with having other lovers. Experiencing different types of entertainment is also favored by this transit, by enjoying music, art, or theater that is outside your normal choices. Venus also squares Chiron on the 16th, which is a time when we can be wounded by our relationship, but given Chiron's retrograde motion it might also be a time where a wound from our past comes back into our awareness to be healed. The 16th the Moon in Pisces finds support from Jupiter which brings a pleasant sense of wellbeing. October 17th is 5 - Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: empowerment through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, as the Aries Moon is challenged by Pluto, merges with Uranus, and finds support from Venus. Which brings a day with people having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, then feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly, to later enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions. The 18th is 6 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: being in the flow through nurturing new beginnings, as we experience the Aries Full moon and lunar eclipse, being squared by Jupiter. Full moons are a time of tension as the Sun in Libra is about balancing needs of those we have relationships with and our own personal emotional needs as individuals, represented by the Moon in Aries. Eclipses intensify the experience, especially on the part of the globe where they can be observed. The square with Jupiter brings a benevolent quality to the lunation, and brings contemplation of the loftier aspects of life. So it seems that whatever edge the eclipse brings, Jupiter softens it or at least finds a positive way of implementing any intensity in striking a harmony between our commitment to others and our commitment to ourselves. But we are talking Jupiter so it could go overboard on one of the extremes or the other. October 19th is 7 - Ik "eek" or Wind: reflection through communication, as Mars is opposed by Neptune which can be discouraging with people feeling inadequate in just trying to fulfill the daily responsibilities. This can be a time of low energy for a day of two before and after the exact opposition. This is best handled by avoiding stressful situations, particularly physically demanding activities, as the immune system is compromised and sickness is possible if you get run down. This is also a time to be careful of deception, so if it looks too good to be true... it probably is. Expect more misunderstanding, anger and mistrust during this time period. This could also indicate increased substance abuse as folks will want to disengage as many will have to face consequences from the past they'd rather avoid. This transit favors working alone on a creative project. It also favors service activities in the interest of other people. Also on the 19th we have the Taurus Moon finding support from Mars and Pluto, and harmonizing with Neptune, bringing the energy for asserting ourselves in a positive manner and standing our ground if necessary, while being very sensitive to the moods of others, to later bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual relationships. The 20th is 8 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: balance through contemplating the stars, while the Moon in Taurus is opposed by Saturn and Mercury, and harmonizes with Jupiter. The day begins with folks feeling lonely and isolated, to later some feeling a real conflict between feelings and reason and others having fruitful expressions of their deeper awareness either internally or with another, and finally shifts to feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness. October 21st is 9 - Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: patience experienced through planting seeds and making new connections, with Mercury turning retrograde on the 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio. Even folks who don't follow astrology are aware of Mercury retrograde's effect on communication, technology and travel. This begins a time that shifts our review of information below the surface, with a focus on transparency that exposes the deeper Scorpionic themes of ethics, motives, and values. While the Gemini Moon, which is ruled by Mercury, is challenged by Neptune and Mars, which brings energy where daydreams and fantasies feel more important than reality, with people feeling irritable which could lead to needless disputes. The 22nd is 10 - Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: manifestation through being flexible, with the Moon in Gemini stimulated by Uranus and opposed by Venus, which shifts from pleasant yet restless energy that desires emotional excitement, to later pleasant energy for enjoying sensual experiences and rich food with a caution against overindulgence. October 23rd is 11 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: resolution through releasing what no longer serves us, while the Sun moves into Scorpio bringing us into the peak of the season which is often keynoted as intensity and passion in this fixed water sign. The scorpion is known for endurance, and drive, but also for seeking to find a deeper purpose in life. Of course Halloween and its origin in the pagan holiday Samhaiin, are about seeing through the veil into the otherworld, make the midpoint of Scorpio. For the next month the Sun casts more light on subjects such as death, rebirth, transformation, sex, regeneration, psychic experiences, anything that delves below the surface to explore the depths and mysteries, when transiting Scorpio, with the Moon making no angles and void of course all day, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. The 24th is 12 - Manik "man-eek" or Deer: understanding through being of service to others, as the Cancer Moon finds support from the Sun and Neptune, is stimulated by Mars, opposed by Pluto, and challenged by Uranus. An emotionally active day beginning with having a sense of harmony within ourselves, then our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, to later bringing the desire to work independently from others, and finally brings deep emotions rising to the surface, while people are likely to act hasty and jump to conclusions. October 25th is 13 - Lamat "la-maught" or Star: movement to the next stage through being grateful for abundant relationships, as the Sun trine Neptune is more idealistic and understands a more spiritual level of reality. This increases our sensitivity to the more subtler aspects of the world around us. This alignment favors infusing romance, creativity, and spirituality, so you might want to engage in activities like improv dance, yoga vinyasa like sun salutations, tai chi, working on art, music or any creative project, with the Moon in Cancer finding support from Saturn and Mercury, and merging with Jupiter. The last day of the trecena's emotional wave moves from having a more sober and realistic view of life, to feeling in touch with our emotions and expressing them to others, to finally experiencing good feelings and generosity towards others.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Wisdom trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

As always I invite you to contact me at newworldbirth@yahoo.com if you have any questions or wish to schedule a reading. I am providing readings and wish to make this service available to the greatest amount of folks, so I’ve created three options with three levels of compensation. These readings are designed to provide information to help you navigate these difficult times. At the basic level we will look at your human design chart to help you understand how to use your individual strategy and authority in making life decisions based on your unique design. I include the next three months of astrological transits as they relate to your natal and progressed astrology charts, along with the human design reading at the middle level. At the top level the human design and astrological transit reading will be recorded and sent to you as an MP3 file to be downloaded to your computer. So if you've been thinking about getting a reading, please contact me, as I would like to provide you a reading during these uncertain times. You will need to be able to either call me in Maine in the U.S.A. or connect with Skype to receive your reading. We are also accepting donations to keep these reports freely available.
