Hello !
- It's been a while since the last Blog from Og - the focus here now includes my Programme with Totnes F.M.- "Earthstation Og" - mainly Astrology/Astronomy (with Music and Guests on occasion.)
You may have heard of Nicolai Tesla - the Croatian born Promethean pioneer of all things Electrical.In 1901 he began to construct, on Long Island, a tower - the first station for his World Wireless System.Along with this - he had discovered, and demonstrated - how electricity can be conveyed around the Earth via "Terrestrial Statuionary Waves" - using the Earth's natural Magnetic Resonance as a "carrier".
This system would have provided, it is said, free electricity for all - however, his financial backers, including J.P. Morgan, began to blanch at the thought , saying "where's the meter?"
No free electricity, then! But now we see that the coming of the Internet has realised a substantial part of Tesla's vision.
The Astrological interest here - apart from Tesla's Natal Chart itself, which shows both Pluto and Uranus in Taurus in the First House - Uranus Conjunct Algol - by reputation the most "difficult" of influences- and Pluto conjunct the Ascendant exactly sextiling Saturn in Cancer - great perseverance, inclined to solitude, needs privacy - especially with the 4th House Sun in Cancer - lies with the 111 Patents secured for his work -and particularly with the Electrical Lighting Patent of 23 June 1891.
We see the exact Conjunction of Neptune and Pluto in Gemini - an aspect which occurs every 5oo years - truly epochal - in this case, Gemini, signifying a great surge in the art of Mass Communication.
The North Node of the Moon - 5 Gemini - the symbol for which (Sabian Symbol) - "Workmen drilling for oil" - avidity for material profit - the drive to capitalise on resources discovered or revealed..
Now, late May 2012, it is the SOUTH node which lies in 5 Gemini (..avidity for profit..) - suggesting an experience more or less completed - time to release the issue, while the North Node is in 5 Sagittarius - "A game of Cricket", - an encouragement to PLAY FAIR ! work together, take our turn, cultivate and express the higher virtues exemplified by this, the most "gentlemanly" of sports - which, of course, appeals to men and women alike.
Because of the complexities of the Moon's Nodal Cycle the North Node lies in 5 Sagittarius (and the South Node in 5 Gemini) from 7 April to 9 June this year, 2012.
In this way does the Cosmos "Speak" to us- in this case offering encouragement, collectively, to relinquish the "avidity for profit" stance in favour of the "Game of Cricket" scenario.
Signposts on ther Road of Life - if you care to note them.
Also - in general - at this time to take the "Sagittarian" turning - toward faith, hope and optimism - with a global view - thankful for our lives and for the oportunity while in Incarnation to offer and receive Hope, Significance and Blessing one to another.
By the year 2020, the Nodal Cycle brings Gemini, in turn to the North Node (Future orientation ) position - more on that nearer the time! - but 2020 does also bring the next Jupiter/Saturn Conjunction - this time in Aquarius- one wonders what we can make of that !?
The Gamut of Geminian Genius?
- Bob Dylan, JFK,Kylie Minogue,Ray Davies(probably), Bob Hope, Dale Winton, Boris Johnson AND Ken Livingstone - it seems that Geminian city London must have a Geminian Mayor....,Bjorn Borg, G.K Chesterton,Henry Kissinger, Tony Blair (Gemini Rising),Paul Gaugin,
Elgar,Richard Wagner,Lord Kitchener,King James the Second,Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson of the Beach boys - born a few days apart in 1942,Charlie Watts,Robert McNamara,"Jordan" (the Model...),
Richard Dimbleby (Sun conjunct Saturn - a Serious Broadcaster?),Cilla Black...
I'm sure that you can think of many more...
Time to go - With All Good Wishes - OG (aka David Matthews).
