The Fixed Star Parans
in the Harmonic Concordance Chart

Laura Mahoney

Imagine, if you will, the Earth as a living entity, and all of humanity as a single, multi-celled organism residing in the body of the planet.  The two exist in a symbiotic relationship that, until now, has been rather parasitic in its expression.   Now, the appearance of this ancient sacred pattern, the interlacing triangles of the six-pointed Star Hexagram, has arrived on the scene, impressing its message upon ALL of us via its effect on Earth.  An essence or creative thinking of this particular pattern is being communicated on many levels.  On at least one of those levels, it may indeed have the capacity to transmute that heretofore parasitic relationship.  Those attuned to being able to hear it correctly, will have the opportunity to transform humanity’s relationship with it’s host, our Mother Earth, to one of an expression of mutualism that will be extraordinarily beneficial to both.

This celestial event, marked by the Total Lunar Eclipse of November 2003, has drawn the attention of many astrologers. Here, I will briefly examine the moment through the lens of one method that the ancient astrologers employed, the Fixed Star Parans, which had been in use as far back as 2000+ years ago, and perhaps as far back as the Greeks.  It is said that the nature of the fixed star lends a qualifying and distinguishing characteristic to any planet to which it is attached through a parans relationship.

A short note of introduction to Parans might be appropriate here.   Imagine, if you will, that you’re on the beach of a small island. Looking out onto the expanse of the surrounding sea, you have a 360° view along our horizon, and you also know the direction of true North. Now, imagine that you see a boat in the Southwest, and that this boat is on the horizon line.  Simultaneously, a second boat appears, but at a point that is at the opposite direction, Northeast along the horizon, and a third ship looms up, at the same moment, on the Southeast line.  This relationship of connections along the horizon line is what has been called a Parans, and the entire full circle of the horizon line is utilized.1 

This Paran visibility affects the earth at some point on its body, which in turn effects us all at the moment of the Harmonic Concordance.  This is because the energy matrix that the Star Hexagram creates applies to the entire planet as well as to each of its inhabitants.

I feel that a Paran may be applied on many levels to our understanding of the messages of the fixed stars.  If one were to want to learn of their personal cosmic messages, encoded in a star’s light beams, and being communicated to a specific place (natal chart), then the calculations are latitude based.  For example, if I were working on a natal chart, an event chart for a specific location, or even on a horary question (in other words, the majority of the charts I work with) those would be "latitude dependent" when applying the Parans.  In that case, one would have to be able to "see" the earth as a specific place/entity, and also be able to "see" the fixed star in question in order to be able to apply the Parans. I have departed from that approach here.  Here, I am applying this concept to the Earth as a living body.  So, the Paran relationship with the focal points of the Star Hexagram pattern that can be globally applied are not latitude dependent for this chart.  Therefore, this Paran visibility affects the earth at some point on Its body, which in turn effects us all at the moment of the Harmonic Concordance, because the energy matrix created by the Star Hexagram pattern applies to the entire planet and to each of Her passengers.

In the Harmonic Concordance chart, set for November 8, 2003, I found a global paran relationship between the fixed star Arcturus and the planet Saturn and, most interestingly, one also between Arcturus and Chiron.  Arcturus is located in the constellation Bootes.  Bootes has been associated with the Herdsman, Shepherd or a Bear-Guard, and the Driver to his Oxen. Icarus was another title for Arcturus, and this related to his involvement with Baccus.2  Aratus, a Greek astronomical poet, circa 270 BC, wrote:

Behind and seeming to urge on the Bear,
Arctophylax, on earth Bootes named,
Sheds o'er the Arctic car his silver light.
3

Bootes is found in close proximity to the constellation Virgo. Alice Bailey has described it as "the one who is coming." 4  The Chaldaean's identified Arcturus with Papsukal, the
Guardian Messenger.5  In this chart, Arcturus is impressing its cosmic form/thinking onto Saturn and Chiron. Saturn and Chiron, having been impressed by "shepherding" nature of Arcturus, are communicating this message to Earth.

Jupiter, another of the six planets in the Merkaba pattern, is in a Paran relationship with the fixed star Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is located in the constellation Orion which Egyptian mythology associated with the abode or soul of the God, Osiris, a Sun-God, as an emanation of the Father-Sun, and representing the living breath of the Father.   Betelgeuse is associated with attributes of the Father-Sun and rejuvenation/ transformation /ascension and with success which is not blocked.6  Again, Betelgeuse is impressing its form onto Jupiter and communicating to Earth a message of this kingly/blissful essence.

Mars is the last planet, in this sacred pattern which has a global parans relationship in the Harmonic Concordance chart.  It is in Parans with Agena, in the constellation Centaurus. This constellation represents the half-man and half-beast.   The hindquarters varied from a bull, to a horse, to a bear, with the upper part that of a man. Agena, is located on the beast part of the constellation.7  It is said to have a quality of a forceful flame in promoting growth or ascension.  Agena is only visible between the latitudes of 29S to 29N. So, unless I live in, say…Angola, I would not utilize it in my normal work. But in this case, the Sacred Hexagram, which is present in the Concordance Moment, applies to any location upon our planet. That being the case, I set aside the latitude requirement, because it is not a Parans to a particular person place or "cell," but to the organism/entity as a whole, and it's intent is towards the ascension of Mother Earth and the Birthing of a new Planet..

In further defining the qualities of these fixed stars and their usage, remember that, in my view, constellations are a form of the Divine Consciousness, and that by examining the Parans, one may determine their announcement, or how they are speaking to us.  And the significant announcement which is impressed upon the sacred geometric pattern of the Harmonic Concordance is the heralding of the Time of the Shepherd returning to his flock; the Guardian Messenger who will lead the way in the Earth’s transfiguration.  It is proclaiming the image of Kingly manifestations as in Peace, Beauty, and Unified Harmony. A Pineal awakening happens to all who hear its message.  It heralds the birth of a New World...and is a chart of Creation!
