This Lunar Months Theme Stewardship in the Tinyness of our Vastness The Administration of Resources September 24, 2014 - October 23, 2014 Our September 24, 2014 New Moon (Sept 23 MST) conjoins the Dwarf Planet Makemake (pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh - e is pronounced ay in Polynesian), discovered in 2005. Makemake is the Polynesian name for the creator god of humanity in the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Makemake is the chief god of the Tangata-Manu Ceremony at Orongo. An annual ceremonial competition was held in which islanders would compete to be the first to get a sea swallow egg from a precarious breeding site of the seabirds at the tiny islet of Moto Nui. This was a high-adventure contest requiring contestants to traverse dangerous cliffs and swim through shark-infested waters—needless to say not all contestants survived. The winner was honored with the title Tangata-Manu (bird-man). The chief of his clan was given reign to protect and provide for the Rapa Nui people for the year. More about Makemake. Makemake and our New Moon lie in a principle geometric location amongst the stars of the Virgin, conjoining the North Pole of our galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a whirling disc suspending and providing nourishment for hundreds of billions of stars, of which our Sun is one. The Galactic Pole and the whirling plane of our Galaxy spinning around it create the primary cosmic environment and foundation in which our solar system and all life in it evolves. This New Moon and this lunar cycle invite us to align ourselves with the core strength and guidance the galactic pole represents, to participate in concert with and respect for all life and the creation process itself. Makemake brings emphasis to the administration of resources in our personal lives and more so for our entire planet. It impels extraordinary feats of achievement to demonstrate we are worthy to steward our beloved home, and to protect and care for all life. The New Moon Star Chart The September 24, 2014 New Moon. The North Galactic Pole also conjoins a point in the heavens called Super Galactic Center, just 2° further in ecliptical longitude, a galaxy-rich area of the heavens. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is one of about 30 galaxies comprising a cluster of galaxies called our Local Group. The galaxies in our Local Group gently revolve around each other much like organisms floating in a protective embryonic fluid. Our Local Group is merely one galactic cluster of many that comprise yet a large group we call our Local Super Cluster. All of these embryonic clusters, harboring many evolving galaxies, each with billions of stars, are like protective cocoons floating within the care of our Local Super Cluster. The Virgo Cluster is one of the larger members of the Local Super Cluster, the closest to us, and has about 2000 member galaxies. Sub-clusters of galaxies are seen to be forming around the major galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, which have yet to coalesce into new galaxy clusters of their own, revealing the continuing creative unfoldment of the Virgo Cluster. The Virgo Cluster lies at the center of our Local Super Cluster—hence the location of our Super Galactic Center—or so we thought. However, we may now need to reconsider this name, and perhaps change it to our Local Super Galactic Center, or simply the Virgo Cluster Center. For the last 50 years, until this year (2014), astronomers associated our Galaxy and its Local Group with the Virgo Cluster nesting within the Local Super Cluster, but thanks to new techniques that map the motion of galaxies lead by researcher R. Brent Tully, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, we can now see that what we thought was our Local Super Cluster may be a just tiny island nesting upon a mere filament in the outskirts of a unfathomably vast super galactic cluster, now named Laniakea. The Hawaiian name Laniakea means immense heaven, a name that honors Polynesian sailors who navigated the vast Pacific Ocean from their knowledge of the stars in the heavens. The Laniakea Supercluster is believed to contain about 100,000 large galaxies. This model also reveals the relationship of Laniakea, our supercluster, with many other observable superclusters, like the Great Attractor. The unprecedented modeling of Laniakea is the cover story of the September 4, 2014 issue of the journal Nature, curiously published during the previous lunar cycle, which I entitled Navigating New Directions. Nature has also published a wonderful 4-minute video about Laniakea (YouTube version shown below). The research about Laniakea, with a film preview by Daniel Pomarède, who is responsible for the animations, can be found on National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO): Newly Identified Galactic Supercluster Is Home to the Milky Way. More about Galactic Superclusters The rapidly increasing rate of discovery of new planets in our solar system and of other astronomical objects in our universe is a direct statement of humanitys rapidly expanding consciousness occurring on Earth. The discovery of new planetary bodies in the far reaches of our solar system is a recognition of more transcendent facets of ourselves becoming consciously available for us to acknowledge, explore, work with, and be responsible for. Life on any planet uniquely evolves in a harmonic environment created by the planets and their interacting orbital cycles occurring in the star system they nest within. Thus we are not separate from these planetary resonances or from their cycles, no more than we are separate from the environment of Earth herself. These resonances drive the cycles of our Sun, the climate and weather on Earth, and our biological rhythms. They express through the very nature of our entire mental, emotional and physical lives. To explore the astrological nature of the astronomical reality in which we live is to explore our very own consciousness—and this is the nature of astrology. The modeling of Laniakea is profound. Its discovery alone is a statement inviting us to shed our limiting perceptual bubbles of our own lives and the universe in which we live, to look at and see things in new ways. It invites us to expand our awareness to a much greater reality as the veils lift before our eyes to reveal the unbounded potential we can become. This too becomes part of this lunar months theme. Several significant events occur in this lunar cycle, which continue to expound upon our need to stand centered in core spiritual principles in the midst of the whirling tempest around us, and to take heroic action in the outer world that serves to protect and nourish.

Davidson Mercurys retrograde occurs in this lunar cycle, also beginning a new Earth-Mercury 116-day synodic cycle. Mercurys synod also occurs at a very principle location, conjoining Venus, the Dwarf Planet Haumea and the North Lunar Node, all which lie opposite to Eris on the South Lunar Node. The Sun-Mercury-Venus-Haumea-North Lunar Node conjunction aligns with Eta Carinae, the most luminous, massive, and energetic star known in our galaxy—estimated to be 100 times the mass of our Sun, and to radiate five million times more energy than our Sun. A gas shell surrounding Eta extends 4000 times the size of our solar system. Eta Carinae is highly unstable, is prone to violent outbursts, and may explode as a supernova at any time. Eta Carinae, Lord of the Waves, the Akkadian Ea (Ia), the Sumerian Enki, chief god of the city Eridhu (Eridu) (he who warned Zuisudra, the Sumerian Noah), generally is considered the foreteller of an impending catastrophic change or event, but is also the instructor of the way through such evolutionary transition. Eta Carinae brought us its message in the previous lunar cycle with the initiation of a new 4.6-year Pallas-Haumea synodic cycle, a message about social justice. Haumea conjoins Eta Carinae from 2014 through 2016. This Mercury retrograde, its Eta Carinae synod and the ensuing ~116-day cycle brings yet another message—perhaps one humanity may sooner or later be forced to heed. Earth and Eris also begin a new annual cycle in this lunar month, and Venus begins new cycles with the Dwarf Planets Makemake and Haumea. The most prominent event is the Total Lunar Eclipse conjoining Uranus on the South Lunar Node occurring on October 7-8. This is the second of four consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses, called a Tetrad, a unique series of eclipses all visible from North America. The Uranus Lunar Eclipse is significant and potent. It impels a radical departure from the patterns and conformity of the past. It inspires unexpected, radical, spontaneous, innovate and progressive change, especially at an emotional and experiential level. A new Earth-Uranus annual synodic cycle also begins on the Full Moon eclipse, as Uranus and Pluto continue to tighten their orb toward the sixth of their seven Uranus-Pluto squares, occurring in mid-December. The eclipse sets a 6-month current in motion and the Uranus cycle sets a 370-day current in motion regarding the theme of these events defined by Uranus and the primary conjoining stars, Alderamin of Cepheus and Alpheratz of Andromeda. At the instant of greatest eclipse (10:54:36 UT) the Moon lies near the zenith from a location in the Pacific Ocean about 2000 km southwest of Hawaii. The entire eclipse is visible from the Pacific Ocean and regions immediately bordering it. The northwestern 1/3 of North America also witnesses all stages. Farther east, various phases occur after moonset. For instance, the Moon sets during totality from eastern Canada and the USA. Observers in South America also experience moonset during the early stages of the eclipse. All phases are visible from New Zealand and eastern 1/4 of Australia - the Moon rises during the early partial phases from Australias west coast. Most of Japan and easternmost Asia catch the entire eclipse as well. Farther west in Asia, various stages of the eclipse occur before moonrise. None of the eclipse is visible from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Eclipse Information. Total Lunar Eclipse of October 8, 2014 These are but a few of many events occurring in this lunar cycle. The Monthly Lunar Planner explores the details of these events, their meaning and more—the underlying cosmic currents upon which we evolve and which guide our daily lives—based in star-level astronomical astrology and synodic astrology.
