Another Inch or Three ~ 11 November 2008

As Jupiter passes through 20° 12' over the next few days - and which has nothing to do with 2012 or any end of the world prophecy, he locks onto the ultra-anomalistic black hole system, SS 433. Once considered an extraordinary anomaly before black hole categorization, this galactic entity received the attention of at least a half dozen full length astrophysical treatises. On my list of notes for upcoming Galactic Times contacts, Jupiter’s conjunction to SS 433 topped this week’s topical suggestions. How ironic is it that this past Sunday, an astronomical telegram hit my e-mail in box discussing the outbursts of SS 433's x-ray system commencing on or about October 24th?

SS 433 possesses a longer period of 164 days - two 82 day half cycles - that those living with this point natally benefit from applying to work and creative cycles or push and retreat intervals. SS 433 operates using a shorter period cycle, too. This one, 13.1 days in length, subdivides to half cycles of 6.55 days. Simply, SS 433 provides supportive pulses in a week on-week off scenarios. Adjacent weeks operate on a one to three or three to one ratio. If in an off week one does three of something, in an on week nine of those same things can be easily performed, and conversely.

SS 433 is known as a bi-polar object, meaning that its energy beams fly out from the source in nearly directions nearly polar opposite to one another. The term bi-polar in a galactic context does not correlate to psychological labeling; it does however note the tendency to attempt to move in two directions at one time or to “have it both ways.” More accurately, one draws in one beam in proportion to how another beam extends, these shifts in theory occurring in complete compatibility with the energy surges prevailing. Harvesting efforts and planting efforts are not conducted on the same field at the same time. Think Ecclesiastes. Go with the corresponding season.

With Jupiter’s expanding urges adding to the nature of SS 433, some may try to juggle too many balls, mix oil and water or push against a tide. If a slight change of tack is implied, savvy sailors shift sails immediately. A sailor can tell you, being wind out of sail is pretty close to being dead in the water. Bobbing along does not match well with the Jupiter in Capricorn need for progress. When priorities shift and energies must respond with changing intensities, ride the wave. Note the week off-week on, push-pull, ebb-flow cycle underscoring all efforts and apply energy accordingly.

The Jupiter to SS 433 pattern reminds us of messages received early in 2008 as he and Pluto matched up with a series of x-ray eclipsing accretion pulsars. Uh-huh! The message of these anomalistic pulsars encourages all to perceive tasks to be completed in terms of energy that must be expended instead of the natural tendency to assign time lines and deadlines to tasks at hand. Budgeting energy affords a smoother assessment of available resources and gets the flow moving favorably sooner than later. As Jupiter operates in synchronisation with the outbursts of SS 433, Pluto inches toward and receives the early warning reminders of the collection of accretion pulsars prominent in the early degrees of Capricorn. Think energy, not time. Think in subtle terms of manifestation instead of gross terms. Probably it’s no coincidence that suddenly a surge of advertising by organizations concerned with green issues and energy preservation suddenly blip the televisions of viewers in America since the recent election and the commencement of SS 433's activity and Pluto’s close in on the energy sensitive Cap pulsars.

After Jupiter finishes with SS 433, he immediately engages a few other black holes in Capricorn. To be less finite in detailing time frames than Saturn in Virgo may fancy, let’s just say for the next week to ten days, we have Jupiter impacting all of the above. Most notably in these black holes is GRS 1915 + 105, now at 22 Capricorn 07 (or there about). This amazing black hole also possesses a bi-polar quality stemming from luminous bi-polar jets. Funny how it goes with this entity, circumstances might seem materially improbable - even impossible - then suddenly, the person connected to this black hole pulls an economic, situation-saving rabbit out of the hat. The materialization required appears somehow, often not in terms of money. Consider that a person wanted to go to the hottest astrological conference happening in a city across the country and lacked the money to fly there. Driving would take too long (time as a resource) and gas prices might equal the cost of an airline ticket. Suddenly, someone casually mentions how they must use up airline miles before a certain date and “poof!” without money, an airline ticket manifests. While this example did not address cash per se, the attribute of finding money or needed resources somehow someway occurs, typically just in the nick of time. A huge emotional justification factor exists in this black hole system. There’s always a way to find money to do the things one feels they must do whether in terms of business expenses, events or things that support one’s destiny or those things about which one feels soulful yearning. Now, with Jupiter connected to these points, banks are being pushed to free up lending money on the back side of the bailout (especially considering a curious and timely repeal of a provision in tax code, permitting exceptional exemptions for buying failing businesses). With the election behind us and some sense of what economic rehabilitation lies ahead, the frozen wheels slowly thaw and those in need of critical, life-sustaining commodities find a way to get them. 

As 2008 mercifully and optimistically (finally) draws to a close, it’s time to think ahead for a moment. Early in January, Jupiter leaves the conservative profile of Capricorn for the innovative, abstractly imaginative, technically (inventively and scientifically too) creative sign of Aquarius. It may be necessary to project a schedule of time slots and available resources such that innovations yet to come receive a fair shake at getting out into the real world as they appear. If you have something up your sleeve that you’re planning on releasing after Jupiter enters Aquarius, this may be the time to outline needed resources to breathe life into your latest and greatest inspirations.
