THE STORM RAGES IN PHILIPPINES

There’s no disputing that the June 12 1898 chart of Philippines stands as the true birthchart of Philippines’ independence when you consider the Solar Return chart of 2013 of said country.  The monstrous impact of typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda resulting in horrendous widespread destruction, a total devastation of the central large area of these islands happened.  It is something that has exceeded all other earthly catastrophies known to us Filipinos (see figure).

 “And I would like to say that according to the Mayan Calendar, the 21^st of December, 2012, marks the end of the Macha and the beginning of the Pacha.  It is the end of selfishness and the beginning of brotherhood.  It is the end of individualism and the beginning of collectivism.”  -- from the speech of Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, at the UN General Assembly, 67^th session, Sept. 2012.  Natural resources, gas, are they public or private?  Morales asks, “My recommendation, brothers and sisters is nationalized recovery of natural resources. They cannot belong to the transnationals (corporations) they belong to the people of the world/under state administration…they cannot be in private hands.”        

 So whatever we have considered as private and valuable in terms of material or dated in linear Time in the past centuries before 2012 have ended.  It does not mean, the end of existence, it simply means linear Time as you know it, has ended.  Time as you are afraid to know it, which is Endless Time or Eternity has begun.  It does not mean the end of continnum, as the past constituting of the Roots continues.  Roots of the Tree of Life continue to nourish the leaves of the Tree (present and future), constituting the Wings.  Thus, it means the Roots (old world of traditional values such as Faith, Trust, Compassion) continues to connect with the Wings (new world of magical non-traditional values, also called miracles).  It means further that two exalted planets-- Saturn and Uranus, both rule the New Age of Aquarius, represented by a man carrying a jar of water,  on top of a mountain, pouring it down to the multitudes of  people below.  Symbolism is ripe here.  Why is the Aquarian man on top of the mountain? 

RETROGRADE SATURN

Its Esoteric Meaning

The Saturn symbol (draw it) is composed of the Cross and the Crescent Moon.  Here matter and the form side of life must be united with the Soul’s sincere desire to express itself.  It must be united or you get Karma’d. That’s the Law of the universe. Thus, all that you do (Cross) crystallizes into what you are adding to your soul’s nature (Crescent Moon).  The value of things is seen by the Soul itself which you must discriminate between what you want to partake and what you want to avoid.  As you look at life through your Saturn you may appear somber and serious but what you are doing is considering the relationship between idea and form. You concern yourself with your ability to see how much of your Soul you can actually manifest with matter.  Thus, it becomes important for you to view your deeds as a reflection of your true being.  

Take note: ‘Beingness’ consists of higher CONSCIOUSNESS, and so planets are running Retrograde at this time of the Shift. The Retrograde nature of the planet causes you to experience much time of reflection (retrograding is slowing down of energy so you and I can stop what we are doing at the moment to reflect). So transactions in business do not move or take off, it’s not a good time to sign or conclude a contract, communications, postage mail are delayed for you are to  meditate what is matter in relationship to Spirit because while reflecting on the relationship between matter and Soul as we are already in real Time, meaning eternity, we understand  that we are eternal beings.  The planets, they are made of stuff that we too are made of, confirm it. Thus, for many, the Retrograde Saturn becomes their conscience and guide, blending as a mediator between the perfected higher being and how much it must learn in order to live on earth. Many of those who survived the supertyphoon Haiyan/Yolnda have a sad memory of the tragedy that happened on that fateful day of November 8, 2013, at the same time that they have found their Rebirth. Those who died have been taken for they already are ready to end their journey. 

  

Saturn on 5 degrees Scorpio 21 minutes  Retrograde in the Solar return chart of Phil. is placed in 2^nd House of finances, in a negative square to Moon on 29 Cancer degrees, 13 minutes, in 11^th House of friends, aspirations but helped to recover by Saturn’s positive trines to Venus and Neptune.       

SATURN on 5 degrees Scorpio of Phil. 2013 Solar Return chart.  SYMBOL: A man maimed of his lower limbs, stands in the middle of a plain, while a storm rages overhead.

       

“’Maimed of lower limbs here, means miscarriage of any undertaking, lack of constructive capacity, powerlessness to carry anything to its end.  There’s a volcanic and bungling mind here, apt to set hand to a thousand and one fine things, without being able to see a single one through.  The resulting extravagant waste of energy is crowned by complete failure.” 

Note: we know now that all that is said above has come to pass.  For several days we prepared for the coming of a predicted vastly destructive typhoon according to the weather forecasters, here and overseas, and yet “the volcanic and bungling mind of our government that worked to set a thousand and one fine things, failed to see a single one through.”  T’was a complete failure which marked the attempts of government to make preparations to minimize the loss of lives and properties in the aftermath of a powerful storm.  .

RETROGRADE URANUS

Its Esoteric Meaning

When a climber has scaled the heights of the Spirit, he is obliged to look around for a broader field of endeavor which involves the opening of the more subtle higher dimensions.  As an Aquarian the Filipino with Saturn conjunct Uranus both Retrograde in his Phil. chart, in flowing trines to Moon, is depicted as a man carrying  a vessel of water which he offers to mankind by pouring it from the top of a mountain to suggest the fluid quality of nature’s finer forces…Love.and Light…Light and Love…  

He has a mountain to climb, and he has climbed it over many lifetimes, to cover a broader field such as the big wide world.  When supertyphoon Haiyan/Yolanda devastated the central part of the Phl. on Nov 8,2013, the whole world witnessed it in horror and rushed to help, to give financial aid, healing and relief goods.  Aquarius represents the ankles, the circulatory system, and the aura.  The aura is the matrix of electromagnetic emanations which envelope all things, interfusing them with a  vitality which keeps them young in advancing age, if they will, and rich in the remembering of wisdom coming from past lives as

indicated by the Retrograding Uranus in Sagittarius in the Phil. chart. The Filipino loves to travel, and is very universal in his reach; he keeps aspiring for all that is symbolic of whatever is beyond the mundane things in his life. He needs constant new stimulation to satisfy the very active thirst for life that keeps driving him on. It is the scope, breadth, and bigness of the world that he is seeking.  

He is a true pioneer, seeking to explore all that the world is overlooking, this enables him to be free of the limitations of society's educated opinions. His karma is to walk where there are no footsteps in front of him, as it were, except that he can't form new mental beginnings in all he does because Retrograde Saturn's conservatism holds him back. Though at times he may walk a very crooked mile, his Saturn makes him vow to walk the "daang matuwid," and correct all corrupt practices in government which makes him very hypocritical, indeed using the blame game when things don't turn out right/  However, without him there would be very little progress for mankind.  But he is actually more Scorpionic than Arien having Sun conjunct Pluto in the national chart, Pluto rules Scorpio. Saturn is now retrograding in Scorpio.

In Scorpio, the sign of death- and- rebirth, Saturn is posited in the 2^nd house of money in the 2013 solar return chart of Phil., here, the Filipino experiences the meaning of  life on its most basic level.

 Scorpio rules, sex, money, taxes or other people’s resources, legacy, death, and regeneration.  The Pinoy has a very deep insight, most of which comes from his own personal experiences.  Constantly living on the brink of destroying himself, like in the case of the PDAF or pork barrel scam that has indicted almost the whole of Congress as guilty of plunder, the Pinoy keeps throwing away all he attains because of the lack of deep meaning he ultimately sees in almost everything.  It would seem he can’t be trusted with money when in a position of power. Shame. Shame. Yet he contradicts himself… He is a very wise old soul, he believes that behind that which he can perceive at the moment is the reality he knows exist.

The building of his substance takes place in his subconscious and the momentary fascinations of life do not fulfill him in the least/   He is always conscious of an inner cosmic reality which keeps drawing him to its center.

In the outer world he is very fixed in his attitudes (and yet he contradicts himself as he  is most mutable in his national consciousness, the Phil is a Gemini country, sign of adaptability, intelligence, change) and there are few who can sway him from whatever purpose he feels he has. He can be a crusader trying to transform the society he lives in, unwittingly he does change the world in their attitude about him, from negative to positive, at the end of the day. There’s a worldly concensus now that if you want a job well done, get a Filipino to do it. He could be the servant of servants, and yet not know it.  He is a rebel against orthodox tradition trying to transform himself, and yet he belongs to the only Catholic Christian country in Asia. He is a seeker of truth wishing to transform humanity. It all depends on the level of karma which he comes into this life.        

      

To continue, we see the Filipino tackle the strongest storm ever recorded in history, according to reports, and yet Haiyan/Yolanda is a repeat of a storm at some time in the past, it just happens to be magnified now because of the earth’s climate change or polar shift in consciousness.  Planet earth is rising to a higher level of existence.  

“This is no doubt a reckless, brutal and ravaging nature, a real hurricane incarnate. The body may be actually crippled, perhaps in the legs (here, the brutality and ravaging nature of the hurricane actually matches the vibrational frequencies of the peoples symbolic of the collective unconscious of the world that has sank so low in matters of ethics and morality and attracted this “real hurricane incarnate’s brutal and ravaging nature”  The Filipino natives may be open to highly religious and spiritual ideals, which is not incompatible with the features mentioned in their June 12 national chart provided their  own  nativity confirms it, they may be of some use to world society, by shaking slumbering consciousnes in the world and giving an impulse towards good to end the ages of selfishness and hatred, as spoken by the Mayans at the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012.

 When their naval armadas encountered each other in World War II in the Pacific ocean to wage war, US and Japan inflicted much pain and destruction on the Phil. At this time, 2013, they meet again in the same Pacific area, not in combat but to carry out their love and benevolence for the same country they ravaged in a past war. They are not the first to arrive, though, Israel came ahead, showing deep appreciation for the Filipinos who were first at the UN council assembly to empathize with them in their struggle for independence, followed immediately by other benevolent countries that sent help through relief goods, food, water, blankets, clothes, tents, and large teams of medical services as well as heavy equipment, vehicles, such as a US air-craft carrier carrying airplanes and helicopters to airlift goods to drop to remote areas, hospital ship such as sent by China to cure/care for the victims of infection, diseases and injuries.  Even China forgot its animosity against a fellow-Asian at the moment.  Haiyan was a momentous moment for regenerating a sinful world.       

There was total paralysis of the Filipino ability to move, to escape the hurricane’s brutal and ravaging nature for the humans living here as nothing was left that could be used to enable one to skip, to run, to escape, and for days even with the arrival of relief goods coming from countries of strong capacity to help with heartfelt sympathy, thousands of lives continued to die under the rubble, debris, in the open waste land and sea  as earlier storm surges rose to deadly heights to swallow them up hurling them into the ocean, rendering it impossible to find them later. Those who survived were the walking dead, despairing to find their lost kin, or as some keenly sensitive foreign observers wept, noting the strength and courage of how mothers were sleeping on the wet ground with their dead children, the stench of death failing to overcome their deep love of family. Yet to get food, water, even when the bodegas were full of relief goods  

were still denied them for the futility to reach them due to impassable roads, lack of transport vehicles, lack of hands to help, for even the police of the locality were dead, or the element of human greed manifesting again among the local barangays thinking of future elections and allegedly sanctioned by higher level officials took the chance to repack, switching cheap local items for more costly foreign labels to give to the hungry and helpless victims, judging them anyway as incapable of understanding anything better.  To be continued with Saturn Retrograde in Sagittarius, 2014-15
