2008 Winter Solstice: December 21, 2008 by Barbara Hand Clow

View Chart

The Winter Solstice has arrived north of the Equator, the moment when the light begins to increase again and we seek spiritual inspiration. Hope springs eternal during this special time of the year, when we are drawn to reflect on what we have been creating since the Spring Equinox only nine months ago. During the precarious and creative balance of last spring's emergence, those utilizing Goddess Alchemy-an ancient Paleolithic way of life-carefully selected three things to manifest from spring '08 to spring '09. When the Summer Solstice came, we deepened these nascent creations and they blossomed during the summer. With the Fall Equinox, we balanced our new creations with all the other elements in our lives; and now it is time to assess the value of these works within the larger whole. Many of us have been quite amazed to see that our intentions actually did create new things and new adventures.

What did you create this year? Was it difficult or easy? How has your life been changed, and how have your creations influenced things around yourself? I always check my little manifestation box during the Winter Solstice, and ask myself these questions. Wintertime is when I can finally see the wisdom of these creations to assess their impact on the greater whole. With this review, I always feel great trust in this ancient tradition. If you investigate your ancestors, the farther you go back, the more you find reverence for the Winter Solstice within the planetary megalithic system that was probably constructed after the cataclysm in 9500 BC. This year, two of my creations were growing throughout the year, while nothing much was going on with the third one. Then, magically, everything came together with my third desire just a few weeks toward the end of the fall season. So far, I have never failed to create the three things I've intended during the spring. Often these works were very demanding, and after more than twenty years of crafting my life in this way, I am still astonished at the power of this technique. Some of you who know me will laugh when I confess what was the most difficult manifestation this year-to become a decent cook. I thought I had failed until just recently!

If you are a greenhorn reading this web site, please read the general description of the process-Goddess Alchemy-in the "Seasonality" section of AstroFlash! The winter part of the process is the very best, especially if you are philosophical, which is Capricorn's nature. Capricorn is the most philosophical sign, and this year we are getting a huge dose of Capricorn, since Pluto has just moved into Capricorn until 2024. As you can see in the Winter Solstice chart, as the Sun moves into Capricorn (the solstice) this year, the Sun conjuncts Pluto. Pluto's journey through Capricorn is going to orchestrate the early stages of the Big Ending-not the end of the world, not the end of time, merely the end of the Nine Underworlds of the Mayan Calendar.

Our first really big energetic dose of the meaning and content of the Big Ending has been going on since the New Moon in Sagittarius, November 27, 2008. Since then, each one of us has a feeling for how much the world will change in just a few short years, which seems impossible and overwhelming. As some of you know from my work, during the Galactic Underworld (AD 1999 through 2011) we have been processing the themes and creations of the past, especially industrialization (AD 1755-2011), and authoritarian rule and hierarchical control (3115 BC-AD 2011). [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.]

Now that we have entered Day Six of the Galactic Underworld (Nov. 13, 2008-Nov. 7, 2009), the essence of what we are creating during the Galactic Underworld has become apparent; we can clearly see that we have been developing complex societies that seek comfort for 5,125 years and now we need to move to a new level.

Although creating civilization was the direction of evolution during the last 5,000 years, this creation is now out of balance with nature as well as our own deeper sensibilities; we all sense that our culture must become less material. This was merely a stage we are going through, we don't really want these ways anymore, yet it is so difficult to imagine what is coming next.

I will examine the Winter Solstice chart to see how each one of us can use its energy field to deepen and reflect on what we are creating. Your creations make the world what is it, which is why you must master co-creating. One thing about the future that I feel I know is true is that hierarchies are going away, which will mean each creation by each person will have equal value.

This year during Day Six of the Galactic Underworld, we all need to deeply consider how what we are creating is part of the new path that is emerging, to see how what we have chosen is our personal ticket to freedom and blessedness. This is different for each person, and one choice is no better than another one. This is the new information that I am attempting to tease out of the systems that are crashing, the natural ending of the nine Underworlds.

It is very difficult to see anything clearly right now, so I'd like you to consider something. Imagine that way back in the ancient days spirit said that you must build a wonderful boat. Back in those days, you always just followed the impulses of spirit, so you went to work on your boat. As things went along, lo and behold, your boat was chosen to be the Ark-the refuge for the species gathered two-by-two, not just a boat you would be using for fishing in the summer! Well, what you are creating these days is a little bit like that because the things you are creating will be the seeds for a world that has not yet been born. Things feel really unreal as the old world passes away, like the time when Atlantis disappeared beneath the sea. With this idea in mind, do you have hidden feelings that your creations will be destroyed? Or, do you feel that you are crafting devices that can weather the great storm-the rising waves of groaning, whiney, greedy people who clutch desperately for comfort. That is to say, focus on what you are creating and manifesting, not on what is passing away. If you do that, you will be bobbing on the waves in your wonderful boat, not being flushed down the Bailout toilet.

The Winter Solstice chart is extremely subtle this year, which will enhance your ability to really take advantage of the new light. As always, I caution you to do everything you can to keep Christmas chaos (primary consumerism) out of your life; the Elite uses this season every year to keep the people from empowering themselves. The people are hypnotized by the fairy story of the sacrificial god hanging on the cross, which is a disgusting parody of the World Tree. The exquisite mystical grace of the indwelling Christ is lost in the dollar signs when your inner hunter-gatherer self is targeted with mind-control technology to get you to run around shopping centers where the shooters lurk. Just stop it! If you haven't garnered that special gift for the one who matters until the last moment, what are you doing?

The solstice energy floods your world starting about three days before the Sun goes into Capricorn, exactly when the Sun transits the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. If you have kept yourself in a heightened, spiritual state of mind, you will feel extremely high frequencies from other dimensions and spirits. All the ancient ones revered this time of the year when Earth feels the sky. They built magnificent stone cairns to capture the first new light, such as New Grange in Ireland. This potent infusion of the subtle realms will build and build through the climax of the Sun going into Capricorn, and you can burn candles or place soft lights in special places to remind yourself of the light and to connect yourself with all the ancient power places. If you take advantage of this special time of the year, you will know your purpose, and you will find much greater meaning in everything during the winter. Because Pluto went into Capricorn a few hours before the Sagittarius New Moon, the whole period during early December has been soaked with great structural changes. There is so much significance in these times that you must take time to capture its essence; Pluto is in charge of the new order coming in now, so this Solstice period will telescope the coming changes. Aligning with the deep and knowing frequencies coming in during the solstice, and when the Sun exactly conjuncts Pluto the next day, offers all of you a jumpstart on change. Attune to it, discern it, feel it, know it, and you will easily become part of the Milky Way Galaxy's mind.

Astrologically, two great manifestation forces are arranged in two groups, while all of the planets are on the left side of the Saturn opposite Uranus line. These two groups are set up to get things done. The first big force is Sun, Pluto, Mercury, and Jupiter in Capricorn, an earthy stellium that is bringing in the new formation and will activate on December 26, when Mars also moves into Capricorn. Of course, with this much Capricorn, a crisis over who is in charge may occur. The second big force is the North Node, Venus, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius-the essence of the creative potential in this chart. The Aquarian placements suggest new creation will be for the direction of a greater whole (North Node), from our inner feminine (Venus), healing (Chiron), and very spiritual (Neptune). These Aquarian elements will explode when Jupiter goes into Aquarius on January 5, 2009, a few days before Barack Obama takes the reins. Regarding the Capricorn formation, its identity (Sun) is to craft deep and transformative systems (Pluto), that will be thoroughly understood (Mercury), and these systems will be practical and expansive (Jupiter). Saturn in Virgo trines the Capricorn formation, thus an orderly and disciplined transition is possible. Yet, Saturn squares Mars in Sagittarius on the Galactic Center, which suggests that forces that oppose the new path will be active, creative, and aggressive. This strife will serve to vent pent-up frustrations and feelings in the populace, since the Moon in Libra sextiles Mars in Sagittarius.

Saturn opposite Uranus, a battle between structure and transformation, is the key to this solstice chart because the grand square of Saturn opposite Uranus squaring the Full Moon on December 12 really exposed the beliefs and agendas of the people participating in the power struggles. On the day of this potent Full Moon, the Senate refused to bailout the auto industry, so whatever is going on with that issue during the Winter Solstice will be a central issue until the Spring Equinox. During the Winter Solstice, Neptune quincunxes Saturn, an aspect that continually pushes people to opt for spiritual goals and solutions, to not abandon their idealism; the people may push hard to keep their jobs and for a restructuring of the car industry. The Moon in Libra trines Neptune in Aquarius, so the people cry for balance, harmony, and decency. Wanting a spiritual instead of a materialistic perspective, they demand a vision of the future instead of the same old thing. With the great emotional tension of the Moon in Libra square practical Jupiter in Capricorn, there will be deep public frustration over financial matters all winter. But, since Jupiter still trines Saturn in Virgo, there is an underlying belief that things will work out in time. Feelings of trust are strong, since Mars sextiles the Moon as well as Neptune-which, of course, is trine the Moon in Libra. There will be a feeling of a world about to end when Mars goes into Capricorn on December 26 (Boxing Day), and then the new world coming in will burst through when Jupiter goes into Capricorn January 5. Even though spiritual direction is critical now, the emphasis will be on practicality.

This winter season will be a time to face hard realities, to struggle for meaningful change, and to think more of our selves in terms of the whole. The final key into what the winter might bring is that Jupiter in 27 Capricorn is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn in the 1776 USA Foundation Chart. [See "Methodology" below.] The US will experience its Pluto Return when Pluto gets to 27 Capricorn in 2022, when it will go through a great purification and a new creation based on new systems of power.

With Jupiter conjunct the USA 1776 Pluto during the Winter Solstice and Pluto entering into Capricorn during Day Six, Jupiter's aspect to the 1776 USA chart suggests the US will experience a great financial reckoning this winter as Jupiter moves into Aquarius from January 5, 2009, through January 2010. Remember, your essence is not contained in financial systems that express only a part of you. This will be the winter when everyone comes to a whole new relationship with money as energy-instead of being a people who are controlled and limited by it. I can't imagine how this scenario will work out, but Jupiter in Aquarius says: "We need to be freer now, so we will." Have a great meditation!

Capricorn New Moon: December 27, 2008 View Chart

The New Moon in Capricorn begins the most formative lunar cycle of the year. The Sun goes into 0 degrees Capricorn at the Solstice every year and then the Capricorn lunation follows, which releases the potential of the Winter Solstice chart. The New Moon in Capricorn occurs sometime within twenty-nine days of the Winter Solstice, and this year the Capricorn New Moon occurs only a few days after the Solstice; this intensifies the force of the Solstice, the return of the light. Pluto was close to the Sun during the Solstice and exactly conjunct the day after, and this New Moon with six placements in Capricorn is a really potent lunar seed. You have probably been feeling like your soul and body have been compressed and purified since the Solstice and up till now. Well, you are right.

Capricorn challenges us to mature, to intentionally choose the most meaningful road in life. If you have planets in Capricorn, they encourage you to mature throughout your whole life, and the house that contains Capricorn describes your most important lessons in life. During this time of the year, we may ask ourselves: What really is the most important for our personal lives and our planet? Nobody is going to get off the hook on these issues this month and season with Mars conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn right on the Solstice degree. This conjunction challenges us to completely create a new vision of our cultural and economic conditions that are the natural result of five thousand years of war and male domination. The structures of the Planetary and National Underworlds are disintegrating before our very eyes. [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] We are simplifying our lives, which can transmute the murderous alpha-male culture, as we are coming to the end of the Mayan Calendar. As Mars conjuncts Pluto and releases the potent Solstice during this lunation, true soul searching will arise in the hearts of the people.

The Winter Solstice and Capricorn New Moon charts are exceedingly subtle and loaded with meaning; they were not easy to analyze. You may want to reread the Solstice interpretation again before considering the Capricorn New Moon. During the Solstice, there were two great manifestation forces-Sun/Pluto/Mercury/Jupiter in Capricorn and the North Node/Venus/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius-and aspects from the Moon in 24 Libra activated these forces. During the New Moon, the Moon has moved to the Sun in Capricorn. Without this playful Libran lunar tickling, these great Capricorn and Aquarian forces roar and grumble like frustrated Titans in the sky. Regarding the consumer collapse in the US, I see these Titans in empty box buildings, shattered display windows, and odd pieces of clothing left on the floor by employees who spent their last hours on the job preparing inventory for liquidation. I see a great Titan, Barack Obama, being handed a bankrupt country after the people's money was doled out to the big banks. What Titans do you see looming in the winter sky?

Remember that house positions for New Moon charts vary according to your location, so if you want them, you have to cast a chart for where you live. Thus, I leave house interpretation out of these readings except for an occasional glance at the chart cast for Washington, DC. In the Washington, DC, chart for this New Moon, notice that Mars/Pluto sextile the MC, Mercury/Jupiter square the MC, and Venus/Neptune trine the MC, which suggests a lot of action. Once the house positions are removed, the only aspects left besides conjunctions are aspects to Saturn-Uranus opposite Saturn, Venus/Neptune quincunx Saturn, and Mercury/Jupiter trine Saturn. Simply put, now that the Moon has joined the Sun in Capricorn, the great energy locked up in these late 2008 Capricorn and Aquarius forces is further intensified by Saturn. This lunation is a kick-butt chart that can activate each one of us, but only if we are extremely thoughtful and contemplative. Possibly, it is good that people dumped out of the system have time to think a lot for the first time in their lives. As a species, we are not just cogs in the National and Planetary Underworld systems; we are a time-coded species scheduled to become enlightened during the Universal Underworld during AD 2011.

The grand square during the December 12 Full Moon fully exposed the agendas of the people in power in the US. At this point after watching Paulson and Bernanke hand out public money like Santa throwing Ronald Reagon's old jelly beans to crowds, most Americans know that they are in the middle of a managed collapse of their personal resources. If anyone still doubts this, the great Ponzi pyramid created by Bernie Madoff collapsed, and everybody could see he'd been scamming major financiers and charities. The Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagoyjevich got caught trying to sell Barack Obama's seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder. Some say, how can I do anything when I don't know what is going on? Well, first of all, you do know what is going on, especially if you are informed about the cycles of the Mayan Calendar as discovered by Carl Johan Calleman. [See The Mayan Calendar: Transformation of Consciousness.] For those of you who understand the Calleman/Clow time acceleration model, can you imagine how you'd be feeling this December if you didn't know that we are experiencing the crash of the National and Planetary systems? I am saying this because we must empathize with the vast majority of people, the ones who don't have any idea why this is happening.

This Capricorn New Moon offers you the chance to figure out what your next series of actions needs to be in light of the obvious stress through AD 2011. This chart evidences great potential for individual comprehension, since the outer reality is unusually disconnected from each person. I will read this subtle and tricky chart looking for ideas of how we can utilize our masculine and feminine powers to craft a new holism in our lives: The masculine and feminine forces grab our attention because Saturn opposite Uranus is stirring up old structures and transmuting them into their spiritual essence; Mars conjunct Pluto stirs up the depths of our inner male psyches; and Venus conjunct Neptune in Aquarius exactly quincunx Saturn stirs up the most revolutionary essence of our inner feminine psyches. Mars/Pluto in Capricorn wants to comprehend the real meaning of maleness since the dawn of evolution; Venus/Neptune in Aquarius transforms feminine power as she challenges father/Saturn by the tense aspect-quincunx-to free her from bondage. What can you do with these revelations? Well, the judicial, papal, and media battles over gay rights are not the point, since each one of us possesses and expresses both the feminine and masculine spectrum. This New Moon chart may forecast a great battle over "gay rights" this month. As a teacher, I would suggest that you explore the depths of your own male/female polarity.

The New Moon in 6 Capricorn is conjunct Pluto combust Mars. Pluto in Capricorn has arrived to break down the control of wealth and power by the Elite to make space for new structures to be created for all the people, animals, and plants. As we know, this process is already in gear, but we haven't seen anything yet. Mars combust Pluto in the Winter Solstice degree says the structures of war are what must go, and significant steps in this direction can be expected during this lunation. Remember that war usually ends because the players are financially and spiritually bankrupt, not because peaceniks have their way. War is the negative realm of the masculine-domination and control-when what is needed is the protection of women, children, and culture. Mercury (awareness) is close to Jupiter (expansion of fortune) in Capricorn, and Jupiter is also conjunct the 1776 USA Pluto. That is, the US is going to experience a wakeup call on using war for power and domination because the people are finally getting the point. Also, Saturn in 22 Virgo is conjunct Neptune in the 1776 chart. Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in the 1776 chart, and this tight square has been thoroughly examined by many great astrologers over many years; it is the source of American fantasy ridden tendencies to get involved in foreign wars and eventually lose. So, now Americans will be getting a dose of realism by Saturn transiting the USA Neptune square Mars while Saturn opposes Uranus in Pisces.

How could such changes come about? Let's start with the Aquarius stellium for guidance. Venus and Neptune are conjunct in 22 degrees 18 minutes Aquarius exactly during this New Moon, and "22" is a great mastery number that arrives when multidimensional forces are running the show; feminine spirituality is going to transform reality this month. This indicates a wave of disgust with killing, military waste, and children used as fodder by old men and cynical women. If you doubt this, Chiron is right there guarding this healing force. Venus/Neptune in 22 degrees is exactly quincunx Saturn in 22 Virgo (ruled by Chiron), which, of course, opposes Uranus in Pisces. Interpretation: The healing force of Chiron is with the spiritual force of the feminine (Venus/Neptune) pushing the recalcitrant controlling father (Saturn) to change radically (Uranus) into a more idealistic pattern in life. Saturn's ability to change is enhanced when it is in Virgo, and Mercury/Jupiter in Capricorn trine Saturn in Virgo, so that our comprehension of these new levels is strong.

If you think I am way out there with such definite ideas, remember that we are right in the middle of a radical evolutionary leap of our species. When the first fish dared to climb onto the shore and become an amphibian, he/she didn't know that wondrous legs for running would eventually evolve. When the first hominid stood up probably just for a better view, he/she didn't know that freed up hands would create tools. When we chose computers and put our brains into boxes that connect everybody on the planet, we didn't know that this would show us how to dematerialize. So, use the great power of Mars/Pluto in Capricorn to object to your resources being thrown away in warfare. Use the potency of Venus/Neptune to discover how to birth whether you are in a male or female body. And, allow the reality-shredding forces of Saturn opposite Neptune to sweep away the old and make space for the new. Do not forget that the lunar North Node is in Aquarius, which will help you release attachments and ego. It is easier to surrender when the Titans in the sky demand change at all costs.

The difficult Fifth NIGHT (Nov 18, 2007 to Nov 12, 2008)

At this point I feel it may be in its place to make a jump forward to discuss what is likely to occur after the two pulses of LIGHT in DAY 4 and DAY 5. In the Fifth NIGHT, (November 18 2007 to November 12, 2008, ruled by the energy of Tezcatlipoca, the god of darkness), we will see the last desperate attempts of the West, and power hierarchies based on materialism everywhere, to remain in control and strengthen their power in some new very oppressive way. If the international monetary system collapses in DAY 5 we may for instance come to see this replaced by a centralized electronic control over everyone's economic interactions (Not to mention control of whereabouts and other things). Except that I simply look upon it as a phase in a cosmic plan, this is the time period when many of the scenarios described by conspiracy theoreticians may come true.

Regardless of the concrete forms it may take, this is when everything will be made to keep people in the fold. In the same way as we, during the Fifth NIGHT of the Planetary Underworld (1932-52), saw an alliance between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union of Stalin we may well in the upcoming Fifth NIGHT come to see an alliance between the rulers of China and the United States all in the interest of maintaining a hierarchically ruled world with a focus on material gains. And in the same way as the mentioned dictatorships of the Planetary Underworld enjoyed the overwhelming support of their subjects, we may well come to see a strong support by the subjects of the "democracy" of the US and the "popular" regime of China as the Fifth NIGHT begins to rule in the Galactic Underworld. Especially in the United States people are already on a massive scale deluded into thinking that they are free. Those with knowledge of the changing energies of the Mayan calendar will not be as easy to manipulate by fear, since they are aware of the wave movement of history.

The Shift from Chaos to the Enlightened world
Following the Fifth NIGHT large groups of people will however in the Sixth DAY break away from hierarchical control and guided by their intuition find a path towards increased wholeness. This is when the hierarchies will really start to break down, probably largely in a chaotic way. Yet, this is exactly the kind of chaos that is needed for the recreation of an Enlightened world. Creativity is born out of chaos and if you think more deeply about it you realize that there is no linear way from today's world (2004) to the Enlightened (2011). Instead the enlightened world can only emerge out of a series of transformative pulses, including periods of destruction, such as the Fifth NIGHT. The paradox to understand is that the very process that seems to break down the world economy and political dominance is also the one that paves the way for Enlightenment. The emergence of a fully enlightened collective state of consciousness can only thrive in a global consciousness that is balanced. This is because the imbalance that has been dominating humanity for some 5000 years has had its direct cause the dualist frame of consciousness that was ruling throughout this time.

I feel however that the kind of Enlightenment humanity will approach as the cosmic plan is completed in 2011 will not be like anything that has existed previously. Although there are many descriptions of enlightened beings and ascended masters from human history I personally think that their states of consciousness in various ways have been limited by the creation fields that were ruling at the particular time they were (or are) living. Only in 2011 will all veils separating human beings from the divine be removed and the supramental consciousness of the Universal Underworld will be unexplored territory. In a sense we are talking about the emergence of an entirely new species of human beings. For the first time Enlightenment will take place in a balanced global creation field and this certainly will influence the depth and scope of the cosmic consciousness that may be attained.

Second Harmonic Convergence/Oneness May 27/28 2010

"A crucial point of preparation for the attainment of this supramental cosmic consciousness will be the Second Harmonic Convergence/Oneness Celebration of the Gregorian dates May 27/28 2010 (1 Imix and 2 Ik). This is when, for the first time, standing on the balance that the Galactic Underworld has brought, we will begin to sense the supramental consciousness that the Universal Underworld will bring. For all those seeking to become part of the new species of human beings endowed with an unlimited consciousness, this is a time to absorb the new energies of universality. These dates are placed in relation to the Universal Underworld in the same way as the original Harmonic Convergence, August 16-17, 1987 might be seen to have been a preparation for the Galactic Underworld. Tony Shearer, who originally proposed the Harmonic Convergence in his book Quetzalcoatl Lord of the Dawn, based its dates on the true Mayan Calendar. Unfortunately, this fact was later obscured, and thus an important aspect of that event was lost and still needs to be retrieved. May 27/28 2010 (1 Imix and 2 Ik) are the dates for Phoenix to rise from the ashes and for an Enlightened world to arise from chaos. A sort of resurrection to the New Jerusalem where life is lived totally in the present moment, with no limits and no separation. God is good. There is a logic to the evolution of the divine encoded by the Mayan calendar. Maybe, in fact, God, life and consciousness are all the same."
