#LUNAR #OCCULTATION OF #MARS: On Monday night, Jan. 30th, the #Moon passed directly in front of Mars, producing a lunar occultation visible from southern parts of the USA and all of central America. Juan José Ortiz photographed the event from Metepec, #Mexico:
"I captured Mars rising over Mare Smythii as it was emerging from behind the Moon," says Ortiz. "What a view!"

The next good lunar occultation of Mars isn't until Jan. 13, 2025.

This took me by surprise, listening first and thinking "Genesis?" with a hint of Townsend guitar (a la "Tommy"/Pinball Wizard).

And then I saw: yes, New! From Peter Gabriel. Master and legend, in fine fettle here. [Merci, Sylvie!]

Panopticom (Bright Side Mix)

From Vulture, describing this song and Gabriel's intention of releasing new material on full moons...

It took about 20 years, but we’re finally getting a taste of Peter Gabriel’s magnum opus … on the full moon … on the Sabbath? Never mind, it’s just a regular weekday. Gabriel has announced his long-gestating album i/o will be released in 2023, which will be guided by the lunar phases for its remaining rollout. Astrologers could tell you that lead track, “Panopticom” — a word that’s already an adversary to spell-check — was unveiled on the first full moon of the year, and Gabriel says that each subsequent song will follow the same ritual. “Panopticom,” which features electronics from ambient king Brian Eno, was inspired by Gabriel’s idea “to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe.” i/o will further explore those themes. “Some of what I’m writing about this time,” he adds, “is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot.” The last full moon is December 26, so …

THE #HEALING #CIRCLE
enter image description here
enter image description here
The god that lives on the star constellation of Shatabishakh is #Varuna. Varuna is the god of the deep dark. Varuna rules the night and the deep dark seas.

Varuna rides upon #Makara the #crocodile. The crocodile is the animal associated with the water ruled sexual Chakra. Makara is also the name given by Yogins to the zodiacal sign of Capricorn. The crocodile of Varuna implies the deep Saturnian energy that is required to protect the creative feminine essence of the watery Shakti Chakra.
The Shakti Chakra, as illustrated below, shows the crocodile and the six petals of the lotus. Six is the number of Shukra (Venus) Venus rules sensuality and the sexual function, Shukra literally means sexual juice.

Varuna dwells in the West. The sun setting in the West is an indicator of Varuna coming into his power as the sun sets and the night forces take over.

Varuna has a best friend named #Mitra, who is his opposite. Mitra rules the daytime where Varuna rules the night.

Varuna and Mitra are bound together in sacred oath of friendship. Their friendship is so deep that it keeps the universe in equilibrium.

Varuna translates as the one who covers and conceals. He covers the #sun as it sets and brings darkness by his concealing power of nightfall.

Mitra on the other hand, causes the sun to rise. Mitra uncovers and reveals as the #root ‘Mi’ in his name implies, Mitra is said to never close his eyes.

Mitra is the deity who assists the activating of the #solar forces, and Varuna assists in activating the #lunar forces.

These two opposite forces are tied together in deepest friendship as they keep the cosmological order of Rtta. #Rtta is the rhythmical, regulating principle of cosmological order.
Varuna is the deity of the depths and the waters that cover the earth and move with the dance of the Moon. Varuna rules the creatures of the deep subterranean watery underworlds. Much of the depth of sea is a yet unexplored territory for most humans. Varuna is the initiator who reveals the depths.

Out of interest, we find that Shatabishakh Nakshatra is within the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, Aquarius being the water bearer of of Western astrology bears a fluid relation to the watery Varuna. In the Yogic language, this is the sign called Kumbh, this means the pot that pours the fluid of healing upon all beings.

The ruling planet of Shatabishakh is none other than #Rahu, the solar eclipsing North node of #Moon.

Rahu is the head without a body. Rahu has no fear because nothing can poison him, he can consume whatever he wishes and it simply passes through him.

In Shatabishakh, Rahu brings the power and courage to drink anything, both medicine and poison.

Though Rahu is often considered a negative force, it must be seen that he be a powerhouse of force. Rahu magnifies whatever he touches and the energy of wherever he is gets magnified and multiplied. Just like Shatabishakh Nakshatra, Rahu has the power to cover the sun.

His endless appetite calls in more and more. Rahu squeezes out the very last drop by his will for consumption, even if there is seemingly nothing there, Rahu will squeeze out that which can’t be seen.

This force can be creative or destructive depending on how it is applied and approached.

Rahu is connected to the master healer that is the Crow. The Crow can take anything and transform it into nourishment. Crows are often connected with and fed in the rituals of the potent dark shadow casting planets and deities such as Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

A common remedy to balance the forces of Rahu, Saturn and Ketu is to feed Crows and pay attention to their teachings.

The Crow is not afraid to get its beak dirty, the Crow has no fear. This is a quality needed to reach the depths of healing.

When we resist, block and fear things, we end up denying our power is we turn away.

The Crow is the great healing spirit on account of its lack of fear. The crow will ever turn away, and will eat everything. Crow puts its beak where others fear to peck.

Let us now consider the meaning of the name Shatabishakh and get a a further insight of the energy that it transports.

The word Shatabishakh is an amalgamation of two words. Shata means a hundred, or hundreds, and Bishakh means healer. This is the constellation of healing power, as well as the remedies and tools of effecting healing.

This constellation is the hundred healers or the hundredfold healer. The hundred healers of Shatabishakh can just as well bring on a hundred ills, as they can a hundred healings. This Nakshatra can trigger the underworld shadows of the deep sedimentary emotional waters and cause them to surface.

Varuna is a good who holds the noose in his hand and captures the parts of us that escape vision. Varuna has the ability to see in the dark and encircle that which is out of sight. He has the power to teach us the mysteries of the sacred night forces by revealing the dark that lives within his darker skies.

When we come to healing, it is not always a sweet and joyful affair. The dental surgeon might lead to healthy teeth, but the iron implements might fist scour upon flesh and nerve!

Now let us conclude by considering that Varuna is described as the master healer who has hundreds of remedies at his disposal.

#Tantra is healing, and healing is Tantra.
#Shatabishakh #Nakshatra
#Shatabishak #SHATABHISHAKA.

....a powerful #lunar #eclipse cardinal t square, to come this autumn
the full moon total eclipse with #uranus and square #saturn, loaded with powerful star alignments..looks like a game changer...eclipses usually brings things to a head
...the old(saturn) and new(uranus) are eternally at odds, one creates the other, so it is with opposites..libra is the 3rd arm, balance..energetic eclipse
..nov 8th, date of u.s. midterm vote
for this event the #sun will be conjunct orange alpha libra star ZUBENELGENUBI and parallel white star #SIRIUS...Moon will be parallel white star ALHENA
.. #mars will be parallel the #PLEIADES and out of bounds
..uranus, with the moon, continues in alignment with red MENKAR
...saturn parallel DENEB ALGEDI, and SIRIUS
..all in all a mix of good and bad

Lunar Eclipse of 16 May, 2022 #2

at long last ;-)
The totality (when the Moon is entirely within the Earth’s shadow) was not visible from my location as this happened after moonset - in Europe, totality could be observed only from Portugal and western Spain.
The following 2 shots show the Moon as it is about to disappear below the roofline of the buildings opposite, at 03:08, 03:09 UTC
