Moonwobble Report for December 2011

This Winter MoonWobble Weather Report marks a state being embroiled in the problematic and shadowy side of issues in consciousness. Our purpose as Translators and Ontologists is to transcend the three-dimensional mind, the shadowy side of problems. MoonWobbles are useful gifts to identify experiential tension.  Use this jolt of joy wisely for accelerated evolution, participation in Cosmic Intention, and transcendance of the endless lunar cycle. 

Thane taught an ontological meditation wherein the Sun symbolizes the essential self ("figuratively speaking") and the Moon reflects an endlessly changing principle. An endlessly cycling wheel of fortune of temporal, mortal flesh, birth, fruition and decay.  The Moon goes out into the lifeworld and soaks up its little taste of experience, then offers this chunk of sense testimony to the Sun for processing.  The nodal axis crystallizes the relationship between Sun and Moon to reflect that sphere of life in which the coniunctio - the inner blending of the two principles - is most likely to manifest.  An androgynous coitus between a changing, receptive principle and a constant, radiant principle. Remember, if you are not Translating, then you are food for the Moon.

Each MoonWobble undulate as articulated by Thane runs about 37 days in duration (using a 5 degree Aspect Orb as Standard Deviation). Carefully consider decisions during this period. Like any transit, MoonWobble represents a cyclic process. There are stages of buildup, release and integration. MoonWobble is an emotional experience shared inter-subjectively into an apparently objective reality. As such, it is a communal RHS. Conscious awareness and appropriate action results in a smooth transition.

The MoonWobble undulate starts building up energy some 25 days (Friday, November 11, 2011) before the peak as personal irritability is evident, entering a critical period some 12 days (Thursday, November 24, 2011) before the peak to a maximum build-up (Tuesday, December 6, 2011).  Allow the release of energy letting up a few days after the peak (Friday, December 9, 2011). The affect is gradually integrated over 12 days after the peak (Sunday, December 18, 2011). 

While all signs are affected, those with planets or indicators in Sagittarius, Gemini, and Virgo will be most strongly influenced. Remember that everyone has at least Houses of Sagittarius (Social Survival Dynamic Changer - Fire - Future, Ruler - Jupiter) and Gemini (Social Survival Dynamic Guide - Air - Future, Ruler - Mercury), but particularly Sagittarius.  Social Survival.  Fire and Air - looking for fuel or just intense inspiration.  The North Node (intentionally beckoning forward) is Conjunct the Sun, both in Sagittarius and the South Node (unintentional, unplanned) in Gemini.  Viewing the Nodes through the lens of the Totality Field, we might view the North Node as an intentional expansion of consciousness into known territory, the T-Field. The South Node is then an unintentional expansion of consciousness into unknown terrain, an A-Field.  For an added emphasis, a Retrograde Mercury is Conjunct the North Node/Sun Conjunction.  Additionally, Mars in Virgo is at the East Bending of the Nodes, and  therefore Square both the North Node/Sun/Mercury Retrograde and the South Node.  This intensive Moonwobble begins with a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius which is Conjunct Pluto, peaks in a hurly-burley mis-communication, which then triggers a Total Lunar Eclipse in Gemini.  Gemini being both the psycho-pompish communicator, but also the symbol of trade and the merchant.  Expect more than occupational developments.

Interpretation and Fixed Star Framework

As an archetypal phase of the life cycle, the 14 degree of Sagittarius North Node emphasizes the enduring power of deep, ontological knowledge of the quasi-divine custodians, seed-people of a previous cycle of existence.  The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are symbolic witnesses.  Original, ontological knowledge is based upon perfect knowledge of the archetypal principles and deep structure which understand all manifestation of life, and deeply rooted in our consciousness.  During our era of revolutionary change, we are assured that ontological knowledge remains the omnipresent foundation upon which all rests and we can still build eternally valid formulations, as new evolutionary developments are pending.

The 14 degree Gemini South Node illustrates the omniscient, omnipresent principle of ontology with the capacity to transcend the limitations of physical existence.  As Ontological Beingness manifest, there is no going naked in this world - we must live in the world, but are not of the world.  Symbolized by two human beings bridging physical space and cultural distinctions, to share communication as one understanding. We are then opened to new worlds to explore through transcendence of structural limitation.  Reified flat-landers are open to infinite multi-dimensionality.

The Sagittarius/Gemini nodal axis is the axis of social responsibility, and very mutable.  Focus is important.  North Node in Sagittarius inspires self-reliance and personal responsibility at the level of South Node in Gemini's sense of ethical communication.  Often there is a radical change in life seeded at the time of the Full Moon (with lunar eclipses, the Full Moon represents the Moon's maximum power, and tends to manifest in terms of physical events and emotion encounters as sense testimony - qua tectonic corrections).

Highlights

Make it work for you

While the MoonWobble Report may be technically helpful, there is no substitute for doing your own interpretations if you are to experience the undulate. If you need to learn how to perform astrological or symbolic interpretations, please contact The Prosperos. The Prosperos teaches how to think, never what to think. For that reason, do not simply read someones report like a newspaper horoscope. Please do your own archetypal interpretations and your own Translations. Look at how these nodal transits aspect your own chart. The lunar nodes are the guideposts of your ontological journey. Where do the current Nodes and Planets fall on your natal chart? Do the Nodes and Planets make any major (opposition or conjunction) aspects to natal planets? What do these Nodes and Planets intuitively signify to you?

Use the Nodes in the context of the MoonWobble as a spotlight to Self-Encounter any tension at that moment in time of your chart. Use the Nodes as a spotlight to freeze-frame and be self-aware of what tension you are feeling and experiencing. Translate and RHS that tension to experience the joy of flow. If you don’t know how to Translate or RHS, contact The Prosperos. The North Node expands consciousness intentionally while the South Node expands consciousness accidentally. These Nodal spotlights are not on, in Moonwobble aspect all the time, use this energy wisely.

Like all other psychological influences, the best way to stay in control is knowing! People who know the least about these things are the most subject to the influences. People who know about them, can act upon the situation, not react to it! Don’t just translate! Channel the unusual flow of energy into an unpredictable good!
