Wait!. . . there's more!. . . The Cardinal Creation of 2010 Excerpt reprinted with author's permission. © 2009 by Cassandra Joan Bauerle   Top My client's face was frozen in fear, as she plopped a book in front of me. 'What do you think?,' she asked, 'are we even going to MAKE it to 2012?' She told me what was inside the books' pages. It was an interpretation of the astrological aspects for 2010, in particular, the cardinal T-square. She said the book's message was terrifying – yet another dire prediction of gloom and doom, peaking with a climatic conflict "written in the stars," culminating with the end of days. (*Ed's: Also called the Cardinal Climax.) The universe is incredibly rich in symbolic information, even in the way the celestial bodies move about the sun. Saturn's orbit is at the same ratio speed as the moon; an interval of 28.5. For Saturn that proportion translates into nearly thirty years, and, for the moon this interval maps out what we designate as a month (from moon.) This proportionate rate of movement implies a connection in meaning; Saturn and the Moon both represent forms of attachment in our human experience. The moon represents all that is emotional and feeling oriented; our needs, security, our emotional attachment to others, heart to heart. Saturn represents attachment to the world of matter. Nothing attaches us more to earth than gravity itself, a Saturn concept. What `matters' most to us is what we spend our time on, and, how we want to position ourselves in the greater world. It's not my job to comment on anyone's beliefs, interpretations or predictions about the most "interesting time" we are now navigating. All I can do is suggest my interpretation of the days ahead applying my expertise in astrology. And, to that end, I'll declaratively state: 2010 is not about endings, but beginnings. The astrological buzz concerning 2010 involves a line-up of three out of the four "power planets" in a relationship built on 90, and 180 degrees, which forms an aspect resembling a triangle. (See chart, pg 13) In astro-speak, this is called a T-square, made up of Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto.This type of aspect is understood to be dynamic, a powerful focus of energy, which creates a new template of consciousness. T-squares form all the time, but rarely with this particular line-up of planetary players. The scary part of this T-square is the fact that it involves planetary energies known for their no-nonsense power, sweeping mode of change, and wild unpredictability. Among the associations of Saturn are restriction, reality, rules, depression, duty, responsibility and structure. Saturn is making an opposition to its nemesis, Uranus. Saturn sets the rules while Uranus breaks them. Saturn is the tried and true, systematic logical technician, while Uranus is the out of bounds eccentric thinking up wild solutions. So it's the Saturnian cop facing off with the Uranian rebel . . . We've actually been experiencing this energy since 2008, when Uranus first began its direct cosmic dance with Saturn. What will be different in 2010 is the sign placement of the duo, plus, the additional stress of Pluto (epitome of cathartic transformation) forming a tense 90 degree angle to both Saturn and Uranus. By August of 2010, Uranus and Saturn will have made their shift out of the Pisces-Virgo polarity (where they are presently) into the signs of Aries and Libra respectively. And herein lies the key to why this cardinal cross represents not an ending but a beginning. The fundamental meaning of planets moving into the first degrees of a sign, especially a cardinal sign, is "creation." All three players will be in the first degrees of signs that define beginnings. Of the twelve signs in the zodiac, four are cardinal signs and are associated with the beginning of a season: Aries/Spring, Cancer/Summer, Libra/Autumn and Capricorn/Winter. . . What the Saturn Shift may mean for you To understand what the shift from Saturn into Libra means for you, go backward some thirty years ago – from October of 1981 until August of 1983. The gift of astrology is that it's based upon observable cycles. As Saturn takes twenty-eight and a half years to orbit the sun, the old becomes new again, as the spiral repetition of cycles unfold in a predictable manner. Questions to consider include the following; what was your heartfelt desire back then? Who was your partner then? How did you view marriage/relationship? What were your challenges and concerns? How did you structure your time? How did you balance your needs with those of your closest partners? [Ed's: Though Cancer is empty of planets, it carries the power of the nodes – the cycle of eclipses currently moving through Cancer/Capricorn. Cancer's "emptiness" is filled with South Node energy, what I call the "stand and deliver" imperative associated with the S. Node.] Top |
"The spirit of every Cardinal T-square is one of not yet formed energy."  Some have referred to the squaring of these major planets, (me included), as the Cardinal Climax of 2010. But in reflection, the meaning behind such a configuration . . .[is that] Cardinal energy stimulates growth, new starts, initiation and creativity. At the start of any season, isn't there a conscious or unconscious desire for making something new? ("This is the winter I'll finally learn to ski"; "This is the spring I'll get busy with a vegetable garden.") Our thoughts turn to making creative commitments at the beginning of each season And so will it be as the Cardinal T-square lines up next summer. But what, might you ask, will happen next year? The answer, Horatio, lies within you. The spirit of every Cardinal T-square is one of not yet formed energy. At the beginning of any journey, we don't really know the destination, because we haven't yet arrived. We can imagine, suggest, visualize at the start of anything, but it's best to allow the process of any new venture to just unfold. The zodiacal sign most aligned with beginnings is Aries. It is the energy of the declarative "I am." It is the newborns' first cry, spring times' first crocus, the purest place of unadulterated ego. Aries is "me, myself and I," and next year begins a seven year stint when the master trickster genius archetype, Uranus dons Aries-infused armor. Uranus in Aries may help each of us reach for an ego definition which is bigger, richer, and wilder. What may happen at the point of the Cardinal T-square is a cardinal creation of a "new self." Each of us may begin to see ourselves as something beyond the ego! Uranus shakes, rocks and rolls when it transits. Its target will be the self. . . To aid in this process of re-individualization, will be Saturn, applying its role of reality police to the realm of relationships. Perhaps . . .we may begin to collectively take responsibility for our connections with the "others" in our lives. Each of us may begin to make deeper, more creative connections with our partners. Even old relationships may become new, and be reinvigorated. It's a time to make a fresh start in relationships, even with partners you've known for a lifetime. Because this relationship axis, Libra and Aries, will be squaring Capricorn, the sign of society's structures, we may be reconsidering how me-and-we are impacting society. Individual choices will be seen to be making significant impact upon the foundation of society. Remember, this is a consciousness shift: The change I make is the change I see in the world. Glimpses of this paradigm shift can be perceived now in "green [thinking]" . . .urging us to turn down the thermostat just a couple more degrees, [recycle more, use renewable energy, etc]. The message is: I can make a difference, and, together, we all matter. The third leg of the T-square, Pluto, has been operating with its intense creative spark since January of 2008. That is when the world as we knew it, really began to change. Society's structures – the banking, real estate, government and monetary systems – [showed] symptoms of stress fractures. Pluto in the cardinal sign of Capricorn is slowly but surely inviting us to grab hold of the creative urge to make the world anew starting from the bottom up. When three of the four cardinal signs, Aries, (me), Libra (we) and Capricorn (the world) are poised to play off each other, we need to examine the position of the fourth leg, the sign of Cancer. Cancer is the "empty leg" of this T-square, the point of balance and the place where we should consciously go to for equilibrium. Among the many meanings of Cancer is home and security. So, how we can manage the upcoming T-square? The answer lies in becoming consciously aware of what true security is. Make friends with your inner "mother." Come home to yourself. Consider the first card of the tarot deck, The Fool. The multi-mystical meaning behind this archetype are beyond the scope of this article, but, suffice to say that at the beginning of any journey, spiritual, or mundane, personal or collective, we may feel a little foolish facing the mystery ahead. This upcoming astrological aspect defies specific predictions because its essential nature is one of redefinition and invention. There is excitement ahead, a new cycle, a new self. The cardinal T-square of 2010 ushers in a creative impulse to begin again, to experience the existential moment and go forth. And so, it's with a spirit of eager anticipation, not dread, that I, we, and the world await the formation of the "Cardinal Creation." Cassandra writes "In the Stars" (pg 14) appearing in Pathfinder.

Book excerpt from, "The Twelve," by William Gladstone (Sept. 2009). By Vanguard Press. Available at bookstores. The Twelve © by William Gladstone Excerpt reprinted with author and publisher's permission. Top Preface The year 2012 has been heralded as the end of the Mayan calendar. There are ancient legends from the Hopi, the Tibetan shamans, even from those who believe they channel the wisdom of the ancient worlds or myths of Lemuria and Atlantis, all pointing to 2012 as the beginning or the end of life as humanity has lived it over the past several thousand years. Christianity has long awaited the second coming that will be heralded by end-times of fire, as well as the promise of "heaven on earth." The Jews wait for the coming of the Messiah, and many aboriginal spiritual traditions have anticipated the transformation of the planet in some magical way. Instead, let's make it simple. Please let us buy into Medicare. All in or around this sacred year of 2012. If you have come upon a copy of this book and are drawn to reading it, then without doubt you are one of the chosen many who may help determine whether these end-times result in planetary destruction or the transformation of all humanity. . . Chapter Three: Max Lives. . .1965 . . .Max Doff moved enthusiastically toward the tunnel of light. As he did, his floating consciousness was distracted by a series of loud noises, and his attention was drawn to a man flushed with emotion and fear. The man was speaking loudly. He was on his knees with his hands pressed against a body that lay on the floor of a small room. Max wondered why the man was so upset, then realized that the man was a doctor, and he was distressed because the body wasn't responding to his words or attempts to resuscitate. Then Max saw that it was his own body that lay there. Disturbed by the doctor's anxious state, he made a conscious decision to return. So, in a courageous act of selflessness, he turned away from the tunnel of light that offered what seemed a familiar and comfortable world and returned to the human drama of being Max. As he reentered his corporeal form, he opened his eyes, and the fear and panic subsided in Dr. Gray's face. "I thought we had lost you," Dr. Gray said, and he had no idea of the sacrifice Max had made out of compassion for the doctor. Yet the doctor's pain wasn't the only thing that had motivated Max. More than ever, he was propelled by something even bigger – by a mission of greater importance. . . and one that required him to live. Max still felt sick and was somewhat dazed from the experience of dying. He remained in the medical center another two hours under observation, and Jane stayed with him. "Mom, you have no idea how beautiful it was to be out of my body," he told her. "There were these light-beings, and they were full of love." "I can only imagine what you experienced," Jane replied, and she hugged him close. "It sounds a little like what I feel when I gaze at ocean waves, where I imagine each wave as a force of love and life. "But tell me more about these twelve names you saw," she asked. "Well, they were names I had never seen before, and some seemed to be in foreign languages. The only name I remember is the last one, which was a strange one – Running Bear. "Each name had its own specific color and vibration," he continued. "And when they combined there was a full rainbow of colors and a symphony of vibrations. It was all so magical and wonderful. "Do you think I was supposed to remember the names?" Max asked, suddenly concerned that he may have missed a grand opportunity for knowledge. Jane reassured him. "They may have no importance whatsoever, and even if they do, there's no sense in allowing it to cause you pain. Just live your life, and see what unfolds." She paused and looked into his eyes. "The world is wide and vast and strange, and you will never understand all that occurs." With that she gave Max a kiss on the forehead, then a hug, and waited until Dr. Gray felt it safe for him to return home. . . .Once the doctor was convinced that there wouldn't be a repeat of his untimely demise, Max was released from the clinic. He took his mother's advice to heart and got on with his life, continuing to shine in sports at school, gaining outstanding leadership skills in all activities and excelling academically, particularly in mathematics. However, his achievements came so effortlessly that he began to look for additional challenges, and with this in mind he applied for the School Year Abroad program to study in Spain. That country had long fascinated him, in part due to the influence of his Spanish teacher, Fernando Iglesias. . . . . .[O]n September 9, 1966, at the age of 16 and full of enthusiasm and wonder, Max set sail with a student group on the USS Aurelia for Southampton, England, en route to Barcelona, determined to learn more about the culture that had spawned Cortes and Pizarro. Upon his arrival he was assigned to the Segovia family, which consisted of the matriarch, the widow of Segovia, her three children, and their maid and cook, Julieta, who had been with the family since the birth of the eldest son, Alejandro. Alejandro was an extraordinarily handsome twenty- eight-year old party boy who hobnobbed with models and artists, including Salvador Dali. He was an architect but not very successful and constantly fought with his mother about money and his less-than-stellar career accomplishments. Roberto, the second son, was twenty-four and also studying architecture. He did not have Alejandro's fabulous good looks but had a pleasant face, although he was somewhat on the chubby side. He became engaged to his high-school sweetheart while Max lived with the family. Her name was Cristina, and she was much taller and thinner than Roberto. They made an amusing couple, but both were sweet, intelligent, and kind. |
 Click on the image for a larger version. Max spent a good deal of time with Roberto, playing cards and discussing food, music, and architecture. Since Roberto loved to eat, he introduced Max to a great variety of Spanish, Catalan, and Basque delicacies. However, Max spent most of his time with the youngest child, Emilia, who was twenty years old and thus closer to his age. She was studying literature at the University of Barcelona, so they talked for hours about the great authors and poets of the world and ventured deeply into philosophical subjects. Emilia was a true sister to Max, and the idea of a romantic relationship never entered the picture. Indeed, she had a very wealthy boyfriend, Quitano, who lived in Madrid but visited every weekend and treated Emilia and Max to the theater, ballet, fine restaurants, and concerts. But la señora, the widow of Segovia, was the real showstopper. Her husband had created a highly successful medical insurance business but had died prematurely, leaving her with three small children ranging in age from four to eight. In 1956 Spain did not grant equal rights to women, and few – if any – owned businesses. Since Spanish law prohibited single women from owning businesses at all, la señora kept her formal name as the widow of Segovia. She was a natural entrepreneur, and in addition to running the insurance company, she had purchased a laundromat, several small general stores, and a weekend beach home on the Costa Brava – the Spanish coast north of Barcelona. She believed in hard work and had inculcated this work ethic in Roberto and Emilia, but not in Alejandro, who was more attracted to glamour and the world of art. In every way that Max's own mother, Jane, had been weak, the widow of Segovia was strong. She was not beautiful but had endless energy and excellent aesthetic taste. . . .In his nine months in Barcelona, Max learned to speak Spanish with an accent as pure as that of any Castilian. He felt a heart-to- heart connection with the Spanish people in a way he never could when speaking English – which for him always remained a language of logic and mental gymnastics, but not of deep emotions. He traveled throughout Spain to every major city, became an expert on the Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi, visited the birthplace of El Greco, marveled at the creation of La Alhambra in Granada, ate goose barnacles in Galicia, walked the ancient streets of Unamuno's Salamanca, and became even more enamored with the Spanish culture and its love of life, its intensity, and its passion. It all seemed very familiar to him. He felt at home. . . .Max slept well in the house of the widow of Segovia and had pleasant dreams, except for one night when he drank far too much cognac following a baseball game. After two years of a losing streak and aided by Max's prowess, his Spanish team won a game against their archrivals. Every member of the ten-man team insisted on buying a round of cognac for the entire team, leading to ten cognacs each in the space of two hours. That night Max dreamed he was fighting a stream of fire-breathing, green dragons. He had a sword, and he was able to kill each dragon as it approached him, but there was an inexhaustible stream of the creatures. After killing what seemed like hundreds – if not thousands – of dragons, Max looked to the sky and saw a godlike presence, which bellowed at him. "Do you want to stop fighting the dragons?" it asked. "Yes. It's tiring, and I'm somewhat exhausted already," Max admitted. "Well, you can just stop whenever you want." "But if I stop, the dragons will just keep coming and destroy the world." "Your thinking is correct," the godlike presence acknowledged, speaking in Spanish. "But you will never be able to defeat all the dragons. They are infinite in number. "Are you sure you want to continue?" it asked. Max just shrugged and returned to killing dragons. Then he woke up. Max had been told that he would know that he was proficient in Spanish when his dreams would be in Spanish, too. Since Max never remembered his dreams, this was an unusual and pleasant experience. It also signaled that he had achieved his primary goal of learning Spanish before heading back to conquer whatever dragons might await him as he prepared to complete his education and ready himself for college and adult life. . . William Gladstone majored in Spanish literature at Yale Univ. and cultural anthropology at Harvard University. He also received an advanced degree in literature from the Univ. of Salamanca in Spain. . . .He travels extensively, assisting authors and book publishers, and resides in Cardiff, Calif. Top |
