Neptune, Chiron & The North Node
A Wake-Up Call From The Future

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle! - Alice, 'Alice in Wonderland'

Night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, and yonder shines Aurora's harbinger. - Shakespeare, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

The Lunar Nodes are much like the magnetic needle of a compass, pointing our need to move from the old and limiting patterns revealed by the South Node to a new path or expression revealed by the North Node. (Nick Anthony Fiorenza)

This Full Moon is a North Node Eclipse - a wake-up call from the Progressive Future. This means that the hip, avant-garde meeting at the Dragon's Head Tavern - which began earlier this year - continues! (Click here to read about this in a previous newsletter.) Neptune (Spirit and the Cosmic Ocean of Oneness) is still sitting there at the fire drinking a mug of ale with her fellow Aquarian-dressed friend - Chiron, the Shaman who can alchemize wounds into medicine.

Neptune and Chiron are revolutionary under this present alignment - mainly because they are in the electrical, revolutionary, visionary, cutting-edge sign of Aquarius - the Progressive Celestial, the Future materialized in the Now. And also because they are hanging out at the North Node, Humanity's Destiny Point. Picture a Techno-Monk with a laptop in the Himalayas (Neptune in Aquarius) meeting up with her friend (at a quaint tavern in Scotland called The Dragon's Head, i.e. North Node) for a long conversation over beers. Her friend is a modern New-Energy Shaman deeply connected to the Earth (remember Chiron is the Centaur who is both horse and man). He expresses himself as a life-coach or mentor; and is someone who can teach primal survival skills while at the same time using cutting-edge technology (such as biofeedback machines and computer healing modalities like The SpiritWare™Thoth Master Guardian program) as part of his repertoire for healing woundedness. :152orog:
What a talk they are having, eh? What might they be talking about? Perhaps: sustainable living, alternative energy sources, quantum physics, string theory, cutting-edge healing modalities, meditation & technology, merging Spirituality with Science. What would you say if you were there?

A North Node Lunar Eclipse which follows a South Node Solar Eclipse holds this energy: "what was deferred under the heroic call of the Sun in the solar eclipse must now be owned, assimilated and integrated by the lunar function. Delayed reactions to crisis, the need for counseling, and the need to balance wounded parts of the psyche are necessary to restore stability." [link to www.starcats.com:80] As mentioned above, healing wounds is Chiron's specialty. This is the time to find your Healing Tribe: "Chiron's union with the spiritually integrating North Node in humanitarian Aquarius connects communities of healers. (Jeff Jawer) It's also the time to use your visionary healing skills to help heal our wounded culture.

What about Neptune? The power of Neptune is prominent under this lunar eclipse because the Moon occults (or covers up, i.e. ECLIPSES) the planet Neptune only 3 hours before the Partial Solar Eclipse Full Moon. This is especially significant and adds a high degree of dreamy spiritual energy to this eclipse. The Moon acts as a transmitter of the Neptune energy, like passing it through a magnifying glass. So, the soon-to-be-eclipsed Moon first eclipses Neptune before she tangos with the sun - a mere 3 hours later. After she receives a transmission from Great Spirit, she graciously allows Sun to block her light and her transmissions (he usually feeds them, as she reflects his light). This dance of Sun, Moon and Neptune infuses deep, intuitive spiritual vibrations into the lunar eclipse. And there is a lesson here about the need to shut down transmissions sometimes and focus on the tangible physical world of rational thought.

This configuration heightens the emotional or watery aspects - the lunar component of this eclipse - and infuses the eclipse with a fogginess and confusion (the downside of Neptune) from which springs flashes of insight and awareness (Aquarius). Neptune is Pisces energy and represents the Great Cosmic Ocean from whence we all came - and to which we will all return. It is Oneness and Pure Compassion - Total Acceptance of and Unconditional Love for All Humanity. This is the realm of the Ascended Masters and the Bodhisattvas, such as Quan Yin and St. Germaine. Contact these beings, daydream, and go deep while under the influence of this eclipse. If you can get the time off of work, consider losing yourself and swimming in the realm of Neptune! Note: Meditation is especially potent when Neptune is involved.

"Our Neptune Full Moon eclipse should stimulate lively discussion and brainstorming about, and bring fortuitous news regarding, our dreams, visions, and ideals. Our Neptune Full Moon eclipse acts as a dissolving force, bringing idealism and providing an emotional fresh start." (Nick Anthony Fiorenza)

"When the millennial numbers changed from the 1000's to the 2000's, the old "I AM" system began to crumble. A new "WE ARE" system is trying to form. We have reached that chaotic place called the meantime. And, in the meantime, our challenge is to survive the ending and help shape the new beginning." - Christine DeLorey, www.creativenumerology.com
