While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality… true art lies in a reality that is felt. Odin Redon (Artist) born 20 th April, 1840 on the same day as an occultation. Like Hugo, Dostoyevsky also shows the awareness of an inner turmoil. ![]() There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind. The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness. Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded. Such words show Hugo’s awareness of the turmoil within humanityįyodor Dostoyevsky (Russian novelist), born 30 October, 1821, two days after an occultation which occurred 28 th October. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murders. They are external dangers, petty dangers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. (There was an occultation on the 25 th February.)Īn intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.Ĭertain thoughts are prayers. Victor Hugo (French Author),born on 26 th February 1802. As you think about these people, remember that they all have their natal Moon in Sagittarius. This is best explained by considering the following people born at the time of an occultation and letting their own words give us insights into this unique mating of Moon and star. In studying the times of the occultation of Antares by the Moon, it would seem that these are moments when a doorway is opened to us, a doorway that leads to the deeper, more chaotic but highly creative part of our own soul. ![]() We know from other fixed star work that the stars do not change the meaning of planets or horoscopic delineation but rather they allow the astrologer to delineate a planetary pattern and its unfolding symbolism in a more focused manner. The following image is the occultation for 26 th April, 2005 The Moon becomes filled with its message and, according to Plato in the Timaeus, this message is then transferred to the earth through its lunar phases. So the Moon does not blot out the star but rather the star catches the Moon and penetrates her, impregnating her with the seeds of its mythology. But the key point here is that the star appears to catch the Moon as, due to its own orbit around the earth, the Moon appears to move more slowly across the night sky than the stars. Because the Moon has no atmosphere to blur the view, the whole event appears as if the star is switched off and then switched on. The visual effect is that the bright red star Antares creeps towards the Moon and then suddenly disappears behind her, re-appearing about one hour later. Exactly when you will see this will depend on your location, as well as the exact position of the Moon in the night sky. Over the next four to five years, when the Moon is in the tropical zodiac sign of Sagittarius, the Moon will at times blot out the view of Antares from the night sky. From January the Moon has and will continue to occult Antares until early 2010. This dance is intermittent but lasts for nearly five years. The bright red star Antares is one of the carriers of these concepts in western culture. But few astrologers appreciate that there is a dance every nineteen years which involves the Moon and Antares, a time when the Moon and all she represents in our astrology steps in and embraces the extreme, the excessive, the obsessed, and the chaotic. In this way Antares is also similar to the sirens of mythology, those mythical female winged beasts which are symbols of mental obsession, when an idea or problem seizes the mind in an iron grip of endless processing which implodes one deeper into the shaky and at times ephemeral foundations of one’s own sanity. Rather these concepts in our culture represent disorder, emotional upheaval and changes, often through the vehicle of control-addiction and the resulting intense drama. Antares is the heart of the Scorpion and is generally accepted as one of the Royal Stars of Persia: the Watcher of the West, the guardian of the doors to the underworld, or the one that leads you into the unknown and feared depths of your soul. ![]()
