Twin Star of David

September 2-4, 1996



Star of David on September 2-4, 1996

The chart shows the planetary positions on or about September 2-4, 1996. Variations in the date occurred because of different time zones and locations on the planet. Those locations just west of the dateline were more likely to be on the 4th. Those locations in Western Europe and the Americas were more likely to be on the 3rd. Places far west in the Pacific, but still remaining east of the dateline were more likely to be late on the 2nd. The astrological chart you see is set up for approximately 10AM Greenwich Mean Time on September 3, 1996, in England. In it, we can see the presence of two interlocking triangles forming the Star of David, a six pointed star. The Moon in Taurus position occurred late on the 2nd and early on the 3rd in the Eastern Time Zone, but the Star was still in effect when the Moon was in early degrees of Gemini. This chart is broken down into the two separate Grand Trines below. This is the first of the four stars to include all four of the elements, (fire, earth, air and water), in harmonious relationship.

Earth-Air Grand Trine

The blue triangle is formed by Neptune in late degrees of Capricorn, Uranus in early degrees of Aquarius, the Moon in late degrees of Taurus, and Mercury in early degrees of Libra. This triangle is the earth-air Grand Trine since it includes planets in both earth and air signs. In astrological terms, it is interpreted as having to do with grounding (earth) and being present to our earth plane existence in an insightful and conscious way (air). It is time to demonstrate what we know.

Water-Fire Grand Trine

The red triangle is formed by Saturn in early degrees of Aries, Mars and Venus in late degrees of Cancer, and Pluto in early degrees of Sagittarius. This triangle is the fire-water Grand Trine since it includes planets in both fire and water signs. In astrological terms, it is interpreted as signaling our quest for inspiration and spiritual development. We are opening to new levels of intimacy (water) and wisdom within our process of evolution.

Tasks

The earth-air Grand Trine and the fire-water Grand Trine in this Star of David mark the transition into fire and air stars of the future when consciousness would be raised still higher and progress even faster than previously. Over the next few years there would be more and more emphasis on spiritual development. This Star of David has these interpretation characteristics:
  1. First Task - Harmony - This star represents a time of great union and harmony, even for dissimilar traits. We will be learning to honor all races, creeds, ethic groups, and life forms. Many of us are horrified when 30 black churches are burned in the South. In California, ebonics is recognized as black English. With time, we will experience, first hand, how diversity contributes to the balance of nature and the Universe. Keywords - Diversity in Harmony, Harmony in Diversity (All the elements are represented in unity and symmetry in the two Grand Trine configurations.)
  2. Second Task - Mystical Knowing - For many of us, wisdom and knowledge will come from the inner planes rather than an external source. Intense insights will seem almost fated and have a strong effect on our thinking and belief systems. We will be discovering our own mystical nature and we must learn to trust our higher self rather than follow blindly. During this time, Heaven's Gate cult committed mass suicide. Keywords - Entrance to the Inner Chamber. (Mercury is stationary, turning retrograde and conjunct the node.)
  3. Third Task - Selflessness - Some of us will experience the spiritual perspective of "no-self." This experience doesn't deny the healthy Ego needed for grounding and manifestation of Divinity and abundance, (in fact, a strong sense of essence is needed), but allows for selfless action. The healthy Ego/no-self combination presents a wider range of options for expression and the wisdom to know what is the most fruitful and loving course of action at any one time. Princess Diana is divorced from Prince Charles and stripped of the title "Her Royal Highness." She goes on to become a great humanitarian, fighting for the removal of land mines and other causes important to those less fortunate. Keywords - Inner and Outer Individualization. (Saturn is in Aries retrograde and the Sun is not part of the Star of David trines.)
  4. Fourth Task - Search for Truth - We will discover that certain traditions, dogmas and rigid structures are no longer true for us, no longer work for us particularly in highly individualistic situations, or are unable to take us beyond into the arising mysteries. We leave behind the thinking, rational mind. All beliefs and systems must be reassessed and personalized, accepted or rejected in accordance with the journey and their enduring wisdom. At times, Truth might seem stranger than fiction. Keywords - Direct Transmission of the Lineage. (Saturn is in fall in Aries and squaring Jupiter in detriment Capricorn. Jupiter is also not in the Grand Trines.)

Learning Tool - The Stages of the Spiritual Path

The 1996 learning tool was the awareness of stages in spiritual development amd heart openness that can lead from a simple heart awareness to the ability to generate love and compassion in the darkest of places. The beauty of seeing stages in the spiritual Path is that they can become a reference point for the journey, helping the traveler to understand where s/he is, what step has been accomplished, and where further development is needed or likely in the future.
