What It Was
|
|
|
|
The final solar eclipse of the last millennium
occurred on August 11, 1999. It
began in the Atlantic Ocean at 9:30 a.m., reaching full eclipse over Greenwich,
England at 11:11 a.m. This
was a Leo eclipse with Sun and Moon at 88 degrees Leo.
At the same time there was a North Node eclipse, with the North
Node at 13 degrees Leo. Astrologically,
the North Node eclipse represents movement toward our collective destiny.
At the time of this major
eclipse, a powerful Grand Cross was in formation within the four fixed
signs of the zodiac, representing the fixed conditions in which all
manifestation takes place. This
is depicted by Tarot card 21, “The World”, the final card of the Major
Arcanum. The bull, Taurus,
represents the element of Earth that gives form; the lion stands for Leo
and the element of fire; the eagle is connected with Scorpio and the
element of water; the man represents Aquarius and the element of air.
These are also the four beasts of the Apocalypse as referred to in
the Book of Revelation. The
Hebrew letter assigned to card 21 is “Tav” which means “cross,”
referring to “world consciousness” and dominion over slavery.
It is assigned astrologically to the planet Saturn.
The fixed cross has been described by Alice Bailey as “a
transition in consciousness,” and “an initiation of the soul by the
fires of God.”
In addition to the planetary
cross, a “T-square” or “Tau” was present on August 11, in which
Mercury in Leo opposed Neptune in Aquarius, both squaring Jupiter in
Taurus. The “T-square”
carries the energy of self-transcendence.
Another synchronicity of August 11 was a heliocentric “Grand Sextile
(six pointed star) in perfect balance, representing an elevated level of
spiritual consciousness in the higher dimensions of existence.
There was at the same time a new moon that formed a conjunction
with the Sun, resulting in the seeding of the New World within the
“Divine Feminine.” The
ultimate result of these dynamic and archetypal formations was the opening
of the most powerful and promising portal in human history – the Window
into the Great “Age of Light,” the new Aquarian Age of the 21st
Century.

Prophecies
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
In Chinese
Astrology, August 11, 1999 was the first day of the Water Monkey month.
This date prophesized a bright, warm day in which the opportunity
existed for people to use their intuition to obtain what they need just
prior to actually needing it.
Synchronistically,
those observing the Aztec Sun Calendar called August 13 “The Day of
Destiny”. (Many astrologers conclude that the difference in dates
between August 11 and August 13 are probably due to discrepancies between our
calendar and the Aztec Sun calendar, so they both were actually referring
to the same astronomical events and time.)
The Sun Calendar prophesized for this date “movement, freedom, change,
simplification, the sky, Heaven, visions, inspiration, emptying,
completion, returning to origin, centrality, choice, possibility and the
beginning of a new cycle.”

World Healing
Meditation
|
|
|
|
People throughout the
world linked up on August 11 to connect their energies with the tremendous
power of this auspicious time to promote a focus on World Healing,
consciousness and compassion. Quantum
physics has shown that everything is interconnected and is a part of the
greater whole. It has also demonstrated that energy follows thought.
Accordingly, a number of people throughout the world joined up for
a collective meditation designed to create a world in which all may live
in peace, harmony and love.
