The Harmonic Concordance: Astrology was really the last thing on my mind as I sat unmoving in Columbus Day weekend traffic on the Massachusetts Pike. The Jimmy Twyman concert I was heading for in Boston was already well underway and I was at a standstill more than an hour's drive away. It seemed hopeless. I wondered why I had even thought to attempt the drive in the Friday night holiday rush. It would have made much more sense to have skipped the concert and simply shot for the workshop the next morning. But I was impelled by that deep inner voice I had learned to heed through years of bemoaning my resistance in hindsight. That old resistance rose its nasty head and began to vocalize an uncensored stream of berations at my obvious inability to choose intelligently. I took some long deep breaths before consenting to join the dissonant choir of horn honkers and simply yelled, "Help!" The voice of gentleness answered, re-assuring me with such authority, that I immediately surrendered to its certainty that all was exactly perfect, and I would arrive exactly as needed. I made it to the concert in the middle of the last song of the evening, just in time to greet my friends and join them for coffee. As we all walked to Starbuck's and talked animatedly, I noticed there was an unfamiliar face among my family of familiar faces. When we stood at the counter giving our orders, the unfamiliar man began to speak to my friend Jimmy about some astrological find he wished to share. That piqued my interest. Although I had not practiced for almost 15 years, I had for the 15 years previous to that taught and counseled with natal astrology. When I offered this information aloud, it seemed a relief to Jimmy who had not the first clue about such things. The man, whose crow-feathered hat was beginning to ease into my mind a willingness to move into the unfamiliar, suddenly turned and handed me an astrological chart. "What do you think of this?" he asked me. I looked down at the wheel and the world, as I knew it, fell away. I can only describe what happened to me in the next few moments by saying I was lifted into the perfect choreography of the chart's whole moment's dance, and felt myself aflood in the bursting of The Divine Mother's amniotic fluid. I experienced the birthing of a new consciousness in humanity. But this was not just a birthing of a collective awareness of unified mind, but a simultaneous birthing of this awareness in perfect form. Chronologically, this was happening in the month of October, but it most definitely felt like Christmas for me. I turned to the man with the crow-feathered hat and said, "This is a birthing chart." The man was John Mirehiel and the gratitude that poured from his eyes at my words remains etched in my heart. We introduced ourselves and talked for about 20 minutes about this Harmonic Concordance chart and then he departed to return to NY, taking my card and a promise that I would write an article about what I had seen in the chart. Had I not listened to my inner voice and waited to drive up the next morning as reason seemed to demand, I would have missed meeting John and experiencing directly the message of his Harmonic Concordance. Of course, you are getting a very short version of my journey to the Concordance moment. The road has been long, but clearly directed and effortlessly arranged, despite my resistance and against all odds. Analysis of a chart has never been my strong point. My gifts as an astrologer seem elsewhere in synthesis. But I have sat breathing in the chart's essence for many hours since that first encounter and will share some of my thoughts. The thing I first saw that drew me into my "birthing" experience was the Taurean full moon's eclipse. The Mother here, eclipsed in the sign of the form-builder, has surrendered completely to absolute regeneration in the Scorpionic Sun (Son) she brings forth. Mother and Son are seamlessly joined, one in the dance of this birth, inseparably unified in a renewed form no longer subject to death but animated eternally by conscious union's present creation. The opposition of the eclipsed, and therefore wholly impersonal, Moon to the Scorpio South Node and Mercury in Scorpio floodlights this creative union's fullest meaning. The South Node is disposed by Mars in Pisces, giving us a clue to the past now relinquished. The potential projectile of this pointer could be a critical mass, collective insight that suddenly peels away the Piscean compulsion for sacrifice and unveils the spontaneous current of true Aquarian Brotherhood. This potential is reinforced by the position of Neptune in Aquarius as dispositor of Mars in Pisces. This clearly surrendered Moon in Taurus conjoins the North Node in the same sign, indicating that the reach for this new Unity, this Christhood, is to be made manifest in a tangible form. In the age of Pisces, Jesus was The Christ immanent in one man. In the age of Aquarius, each individual is the Christ immanent in humanity. Mercury's role here is to let us know that each one of us is indeed The Word made manifest. It is our individual function (Mercury conjunct Sun in Scorpio) in this birthing to emerge as a living symbol of communication with our Source. The grand sextile configuration highlights a chart of absolute alchemical resolution. No conflict or resistance remains unreleased. This resolute energy the Concordance reflects is so inclusive that any notion of exclusion, separation or otherness, melts away and dissolves. There are squares and oppositions present here, but their activity in truth only unleashes the dynamic drive of eternal creation without discordant effects: a full concordance in infinitely extending harmonies. Nothing in this chart is known in one aspect of its mandalic wholeness that is not simultaneously known in all aspects. Every individual psychic-spiritual impulse is immediately accessible and capable of full generalization for immediate USE by all. Although I am traditionally trained, I am not a traditional astrologer in my interpretation. My direct experience of one too many stuck-in- polarization natal charts left me fleeing the trade altogether. Such charts were too dissociating for me, as an astrological empath, to continue to feel so acutely and specifically as I did in my then limited state of awareness. I believe as Thomas Aquinas did that a thing is known according to the state of consciousness of the knower. Having experienced this Harmonic Concordance Chart from an expanded state of awareness, I cannot label it as a specific event in form, nor can I predict, describe or define what this Concordance reflects within the confines of any given, limited structure. I can only intuit it as a total reinterpretation of all form's meaning and use. The emergence of the Concordance configuration within human consciousness now makes what it attempts to communicate accessible for inclusion in what humanity claims as embrace-able. If we can imagine it, we can realize its effects, according to our level of willingness to shift beliefs. The more willing, the more open-minded we are as we approach and digest this birthing, the less crystallized and restrictive its form of manifestation will be. Saturn in this chart is configured in the grand sextile and its position in Cancer (as dispositor of the eclipsed Moon) offers an entrance portal to the birth canal of our release from the bondage to which we have so willingly held ourselves hostage. Saturns teachings are, as always, crystal clear: all we need to step through that portal is a little shift of willingness, a surrender without judgment to our feelings, a tiny openness of allowing the rising tide of feelings to sweep us away from the fear that is born of our past focus on action (Mars in Pisces dispositing the South Node) and its consequences, and we are free. The Cancerian Saturn can bring us an understanding of the power of responsiveness and unlock the imprisoning restrictions of our own reactiveness. Saturn offers us here an opportunity to simply BE in our truth and wholeness and, extending from there, to part the heavy drape of fear that our doing-ness has erected between our truth and its clear, consciously created expression. We have believed that we have meaning because we accomplish things in the outer world of form. Saturn here asks us to see that we have meaning because of Whom we represent in the inner world of Spirit. Jupiter's role in Virgo reinforces Saturn's message by reminding us that digestion (Virgo) of truth is an inner process and results in the assimilation of our reach for Godhood (Jupiter) into a new system of intelligence. This mutual exchange of the Jupiter-Virgo energy is most dramatically communicated in the chart's dense cluster of planets and asteroid goddesses in Sagittarius disposited by the Jupiter in Virgo. You do not need to reach for your god out there somewhere, this stellium reminds us. Our God can be wholly functional in our human systems, if we allow the clean reach of that Divinity from within to do the building. We have opened our willingness enough to see in the heavens an opportunity to birth ourselves anew into an unfamiliar world of infinite peace and uninterrupted harmony. I have experienced directly the concordance of that birthing's outcome. It is already done. It is a certainty of which I can assure you with integrity. The only choice we really have in the face of the Truth of Who We Are is WHEN we decide to remember. Perhaps we have some collective consensus that we might try giving birth to that remembrance on November 8, 2003. But, having bathed in the floodgates of our true glory, I must say, Let the birthing begin NOW! Blessed Be. |
