The
Harmonic Concordance and the Individual
Jim Buss
27 September 2003
I
don't like to write about things that you can read from many other
sources, so I'll write about the *vacancies* in the Harmonic Concordance
chart. When a significant astrological configuration is *almost*
formed, then that configuration exists *in potential*, energetically,
like an amputated arm that still itches. That potential gets
realized when someone comes along who has a "hotspot" (planet,
light, asteroid, angle, node) in the same
location as the "vacancy" that would complete the
configuration.
Folks
who have hotspots in *the same* location as the hotspots of the Harmonic
Concordance chart, will certainly resonate with the Concordance, and
probably be significant implementors of the
processes that the Concordance implies. But folks who have
hotspots on the *vacancies* will create unexpected magic, as what is
energy and potential to others, becomes a powerful and manifest tool in
their hands. Neither of these phenomenon
is about effort or work. It's about what just seems to
"happen" on its own.
Energy
Vacancies
These
are the zodiacal locations that would turn t-squares
into grand crosses. Hanging out with someone who has a hotspot on
one of these degrees, will shift our experience from challenge to
balance, without losing any of the benefits of the challenge. Hupersons
learn by imitation, not by instruction. That's why it feels good
to hang out with a saint, because yer energy
system matches theirs, as much as it can. "You" (yer
ego) don't have anything to do with it,
in fact, you can screw it up by trying! The glorious thing about
that, is that all ya gotta
do to go there, is just *remember* what it was like hanging out with
that saint, and yer energy system goes right
back there. Easy as pie.
The
Energy Vacancy degrees are 11 Gemini, 13 Libra, 14 Leo, and 25 Leo.
Anything within a degree or two or three would work. We'll call
these folks who have hotspots in these degrees, the Energy
Masters. We're habituated to what the French call resistentialism
- the innate perversity of inanimate objects. Murphy's Law, some
call it, "if anything can go wrong it will" - just the nature
of the interface between matter and spirit in the old paradigm, that
they never really learned to trust one another. In the new
paradigm they're just transforms of one another, so their relationship is
much easier. But we still got about 8 toes in the old
paradigm, so we may not even *see* the amazing Grace that the HC is
already bringing.
The
hooman animal craves *experience*.
Even those who crave security are here to crave the *experience* of
security. I mean, think about it, who ever actually *had*
security. Some had the illusion of security for a while, some
even for long enough to get lost in the illusion that their security was
permanent! All just experience, that's what we came here for.
So if we have a hard time seeing the Grace, and we naturally crave
experience, there's a good chance one of the HC tsquare
dramas could snag us. Karma *is* a property of the old paradigm,
not the new one, but no change is ever ten steps forward, it's always
two forward and one back - when we're lucky that it's not one forward
and two back. So if one of those tsquare
dramas came around and reminded us of some old karma that we'd left
behind but still felt a bit nostalgic for ... whang,
our craving for experience could suck us right in.
These
Energy Masters would likely save us from such a fate. In
combination with the HC, they *balance* the energies. With
balanced energies the dramas look like just that, drama, celluloid,
smoke and mirrors. Grand cross people usually don't feel like they
got it together, because their energy's going lotsa
different directions at once, and they're likely to compare themselves
to folks without a grand cross, and think, gosh, those folks are sure
calm! But grand cross people *do* have it together, it's
amazing what they pull off. So they're usually a little spacey,
maybe even humble. So hanging out with the Energy Masters may not
*feel* like a big deal. The shift from getting tarpapered with
that drama, to seeing it as a drama, can feel like, "Oh, I
knew that all along" - which you did, you just forgot.
But
the HC plus an Energy Master will be able to accomplish amazing things.
And hanging out with one, if we're open to it and willing to notice the
difference and memorize the energy, we can learn how to do the same.
Remember, the HC isn't just a one-time gift. The idea is for us to
*remember* what this energy feels like, and recreate it from memory as
often as we want. Once we've experienced something, we can pull it
back in like it was magic. Well, it always was magic anyway, but
we usually forgot. That's what experience is about, remembering.
In the old paradigm we learned really well how to do that with bummers.
Now we're transferring that knowledge to the good times.
The
strongest HC Energy Master has a hotspot in or near 11 Gemini.
That's the Vacancy that completes the Mars-Jupiter-Venus-Vesta-Juno-Pluto-Ixion
tsquare. This is the tsquare
that symbolizes the end of the patriarchy and the end of cause and
effect and the end of karma. So this person is
a Master Manifester,
if they notice how the energy has changed, and memorize it so they can
pull it back at will. Hanging out with a Master Manifester,
we can memorize the energy too.
The
second HC Energy Master has a hotspot at or near 13 Libra, completing
the Saturn-Chiron-Pallas tsquare. This
is the Master Healer and shapeshifter.
Good person to have around! Don't like yerself,
or something about yerself? Poof!
All gone. Use the Grace. And
*remember* it!
Third
is the Master Illuminator, a person with a hotspot at or
near 14 Leo, filling out the Eclipse-Neptune tsquare.
Short-circuit the usual 18-month eclipse time lag, by hanging out with a
Master Illuminator. As Johnny says, "Why
not now?" Just go for the whole enchilada now,
straightaway.
Us
oldsters look at you guys and say, "Wow, look at these amazing
kids! We worked our butts off to get here, and they're just kids
and they know more than we know just through their intuition!" - as
if we wasted all those years of hard work. But that's the real
hundred monkeys thing - we all ride
on the coattails of everyone that went before us, and that's
an energetic process, not intellectual. There may be a manifest
shift at 100, but psychically, monkey #82 has a head start on monkey
#42. And that's the way it should be, and that's what we all came
here to do, to turn our shovel full, and
that's why we all know that the real product of our labor may not even
be visible to any but a few and maybe no one. They may yet even
burn us at the stake again. No matter, that don't change nothing,
we done our work.
Fourth are
the Master Integrators, folks with a hotspot near
25 Leo, completing the Mercury-Dragon-Uranus t-square.
These guys are the sleepers here, find 'em
if you can and follow 'em around like a
cheap suit. If you haven't already, these guys'll
cut ya a new future.
Remember
to hang out with these folks and memorize what it feels like when ya
do. That's how you carry the energy forward and make it easier for
the next monkey.
Gift
Vacancies
The
HC is pretty complete in the Gift department, that's what makes it so
amazing. Add a Master Manifester, a
Master Healer, and a Master Illuminator to the HC chart and you get a
*second* Star of Dave that sews up the midpoint of *every*
sign in the Zodiac. This yin grand sextile
is the mirror of the manifest Merkabah, the
spirit machine behind the visible Grace machine. In the Cape Verde
Islands, in the Atlantic off the western cape of Africa, these positions
are filled by the Ascendant and house cusps when the eclipse is total
directly overhead, so there is magic at those longitudes.
There
is only one planet that is not involved in any Gifts in the HC chart -
Uranus. In the HC Energy chart, Ceres, the Earth, is the observer,
watching to see what we do with this Grace. In the HC Gift chart,
Uranus, our higher self, is the observer, watching to see what our egos
do with this Grace. With Uranus as the odd one out and
therefore the ruler of this chart (it doesn't hurt a bit that it's also
stationary or strongest and in the last degree of the sign
that it rules and in the realm of the Archangel Gabriel), there can be
no judgment here about who did and who did not "graduate" from
this experience. Uranus represents the *individual* aspect of
spirit, spirit separated but un-manifest.
It makes its own rules and can be compared to no one.
Ceres
and Uranus in the HC chart are at 25 Cancer and 29 Aquarius,
respectively. Anyone with a hotspot in 25 Cancer could find
themselves overwhelmed by the archetype of the Earth, perhaps even the
archetype of the Devouring Mother, Medusa. This experience would
be much tempered by the fact that there's a close sextile
between Ceres and Algol, the eye of
Medusa, in the HC chart. Someone with a hotspot at 29
Aquarius on the other hand, could easily find the archetype of
Abandonment triggered by the HC. Check your friends to see if any
of them have hotspots in 29 Aqua, and walk with them if they do.
They're important monkeys here, their job is be loving
with the process of Separation and to preside over the Celebration of
Individual Uniqueness. Without them, we will have more difficulty
bringing the new paradigm over the threshold.
Teaching
Vacancies
The
HC chart is one leg short of a grand quintile or five-pointed star,
which tags as Master Teacher anyone with a hotspot near
8 Libra. This is not so far from the position that designates a
Master Healer, so some folks will be both, Master Healer and Master
Teacher. Of course, any given person can have hotspots at *all* of
these vacant locations, but a Master Healer could also be a Master
Teacher by virtue of only one planet or hotspot. To
truly *teach* - as opposed to just moving information - requires
vulnerability, demands that the teacher be open to being changed by the
experience of teaching. So the Master Teacher is always the Master
Learner. We aren't defining a Master Information Mover here.
There
is a silly superstition among northern-hemisphere "first-worlders"
that anticlockwise or widershins is profane.
Lots of silly superstitions in the northern hemisphere are routine
operations in the southern hemisphere, that
simply demonstrates how provincial old-paradigm thinking was. One
of the silly superstitions is that a five-pointed star when pointed
upward is the Star of Illumination, while a five-pointed star with two
legs up is the Pentangle of black magic. All magic is black when
it's politically prohibited by the dominant paradigm. But there is
an energy difference between the Star and the Pentangle, and Pentangle
magic is actually closer to the new paradigm than Star energy.
The
Moon is one of the poles of the potential grand quintile, and the Moon
is of course overhead in the eastern Atlantic at the moment of
eclipse. As the Ascendant rotates with longitude, the grand
quintile will shift from Star to Pentangle and back again every 36
degrees of longitude. That will make the Master Teacher look more
like a Magus in the longitudes of Buenos Aires, Juneau, Melbourne,
Calcutta, and Rome. The Master Teacher will look more like a
Savior in the longitudes of Reykjavik, Dallas, Wellington, Perth,
and Baghdad. In between, the energy is mixed.
Power
Vacancies
The
Priests and Priestesses of the HC will
have hotspots at the three locations which complete the grand septile
in the HC chart. The filled points are Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, and North
Node. The vacant points are near 1 Aries, 5 Virgo, and 28 Libra.
By power here we do not mean political power, and we do not mean
power-over. We don't even mean power-with, though of course that's
always appreciated, particularly in a Uranus-rich environment. We
mean Shamanic Power. Shamanic Power is about concentration and
focus. In a real sense, the process of creating a reality is all
about Shamanic Power. If we lack the power, our reality will
be half-baked.
We
accumulate Shamanic Power by maintaining integrity. Simply
put, every time we make a decision that is different from the one that
our spirit would have made, we splinter off a part of ourselves
into a parallel reality. The more splinters we have, the less
focus and concentration, the less power to manifest directly. The
process of healing, is the process of
reclaiming the splinters. There's a movie about this, "The
One," about someone who reclaims his splinters through violence.
It's a ridiculous Hollywoodization of the
process, but it demonstrates the game. Brian Weiss's books do as
well.
The
Priests and Priestesses of the HC may or may not have the focus and
concentration themselves to shift the paradigm. Their job is
simply to recognize and honor the focus and concentration that we all
have in whatever degree, so we can pool our Shamanic Power and manifest
as One. Heros
and Heroines are characters from the old paradigm. The new
paradigm is about equality, cooperation, contribution, community.
Hanging with the Priests and Priestesses will allow us to know how
this kind of teamwork feels in our bodies, and recreate it by
remembering this feeling.
Inspiration
Vacancies
The
noviles are about inspiration. In the
HC chart there are five of the nine points that would make a grand novile.
The five are Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Chiron, and Venus-Vesta-Juno.
The vacancies are 7 Aries, 27 Gemini, 7 Leo, and 27 Libra.
Someone with a hotspot in one of those locations would be the HC's Muse.
The role of the HC Muse is about more than just designing a
celebration, though. Creativity is ecstatic, and a major pillar of
the new paradigm. Hanging in awareness with an HC Muse allows us
to know and recognize creativity and inspiration, and generate it at any
future time just by remembering how it felt in our body to be in the
presence of the Muse.
