October
2005
By Norma Jean Ream
September was such a traumatic month
and there is little hope of idle time in October. The intensity of
events will be surprising. We begin the new lunar month with a Solar
Eclipse on October 3. Eclipses are historically linked with disasters
and dramatic political events. We will expect nothing less this month.
The axis of signs is Aries and Libra, signs associated with war and
peace, or with the individual versus partnership. This axis strives for
balance, which is hard to achieve when the energies are also those that
arise suddenly and end abruptly. This eclipse path falls across Africa,
starting low about mid-continent and crossing diagonally up and across
Spain. Watch this territory of the world for dramatic events, natural
and man-made.
Mars, the red planet can be view after
10 PM and until dawn. It is the planet of action, and courage, as well as
force, anger, and war. It will make its station and turn backward on
October 1. Mars is moving through the sign of stability, stubborn
determination, and possessions. It is going to backtrack through the
territory it has been covering since early August, which will bring some
of those issues back up for review, or continued social processing.
To refresh your memory of a continuing
story from August, Cindy Sheehan was taking America’s attention to the
real questions about why our sons, husbands, and fathers are dying in a
war that was established on lies. Cindy Sheehan is the mother archetype
asking these questions. Her pain finds easy empathy. Cindy is one
collective voice finding courage to define the boundaries of how far we
let this administration move our country toward martial law.
Strong themes arise through the month,
resonating as bamboo chimes in strong wind. There is a chain reaction
happening that will dramatize the growing weakness of the government
leadership, the obvious failing of the government to provide true
security and well-being for the people, and political unrest surfacing
as the waves of collective recognition of evil deeds dawns on the
public. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will fill out the drama. All four
fixed signs are occupied with planets locked in a dynamic cross of
action. That means that there is a lot of tension and in the mix there
is a demand for truth, for exposure of secrets. Legal matters and
international affairs become intertwined. Debates, inquiries, and
investigations begin to define the links in the chain of command and of
responsibility.
In the meantime, on the personal
level, perhaps you feel like your own life is moving through very
challenging times. (It is.) One of the dominant energies this month is
the self versus others dynamic. Recognize that we are not doing our
existence alone, and get it that we are looking into the eyes of the
other and they are us. Change must start at the personal place of
awareness in this dynamic. Collaboration and cooperation are the ways in
which we can participate in making life more happy and meaningful
together. |
