Lead us, O Lord, from death to Immortality;
From darkness to Light;
From the unreal to the Real.
from an Ancient Prayer

The Full Moon on June 14th is known as the Christ Moon of Reconstruction and the Festival of Humanity. It occurs at 4:16AM PDT. and 7:16 AM EDT. Alice Baily calls this moon "Christ's Unique Occasion." In a larger sense since the last Full Moon on May 15th - the Wesak Moon of Buddha - we have been thru 30 days of unreal events and darkness. The Neptune/Jupiter opposition and Mars/Neptune conjunction has made it difficult to know what is reality or where is the light. Just as the Wesak Moon helped gather the The Forces of Enlightenment. legend has it that the full moon in June is a time when Christ repeats Buddhas message. Legends say that Christ preaches again to the assembled world (to the hearts and minds of men) the last sermon of the Buddha, his sermon links the full enlightenment of the pre-Christian era and the wisdom of the Buddha. This is a linking that is desperately needed as we see the destructive effect of Pluto in Sagittarius using the guise of religious fanaticism to cause mayhem. Yes this is a link to a Christos cycle of the distribution of the energy of love, for which Christ is responsible. This sure sounds like an anecdote for this world's troubles!

Where is the Love?
You ask how can their be a synthesis of love and reconstruction with the sum total of repression and violence that is seeminly aimed at all global fronts?
From deadly Sars Virus which began to create total global hysteria when Uranus entered the Sign of Pisces (biology/disease) on March 10th.
From swarms of Mormon crickets who are marching across the West, destroying rangeland and crops - in 1848 Mormon settlers faced this plague and prayed for divine assistance which arrived in the form of seagulls, which ate the insects and saved the crops.
From the World Management team and the European Union.
From the Bush Jr. Cartel and onslaughts on our constitutional rights. GW has plenty of help from Rumsfield and Ashcroft with their eyes on another seat on the Supreme Court. The Neo-Con sponsored Supreme Court will surely try to overturn the the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion. The abortion question is up now that Saturn has begun a two year run in Cancer - The Roe v Wade decision came in January 22, 1973 with Saturn Rx in Gemini opposing Mars in Sag 15° Neptune in Sag. at 7° was applying to an opposition to the US Chart Uranus at 8° Gemini and Jupiter at 23° Cap was opposing the US Merc at 24° Cancer most importantly the Wounded Healer was at 13° Aries squaring the US Sun at 13° Cancer.
Road Map to to Peace in Jerusaleum is tattered.
The infamous RoadMap to Peace in Jerusaleum is being overturned by the grotesquely violent Hamas and Ariel Sharon the Israeli Militant Sharon Chart. Not to mention the World Mgt. Team's hidden agendas. Sharon has a conjunction.of Jupiter/Uranus in Aries in the 12th house close to his warlike Aries ascendant and has struck with ferocity to stifle the peace process in the past. Adding dyanmate to the fire is The Hamas (symbol of Suicide Bombing). The Chart of the Hamas Charter for Aug. 18th 1988 features a powerful Pluto in Scorpio amplified by an quincunx (150 degree aspect) to Mars in hotheaded Aries along with Saturn/Uranus conjunction in Sagittarius - the aspect of Volatile Religious Fananticism!
So how can all this explosive energy lead to a true humanitarian reconstruction and global healing?

Solar Eclipse in Gemini at 9° degrees Leads to Full Moon
To understand this Full Moon on June 14th we need to Turn back the hands of time. Just a fortnight ago we experienced a momentous Solar Eclipse in Gemini at 9°degrees - I mentioned that this would involve true tests of integrity and honesty. Yes scandals have broken and questions of truth and lies have arisen for famous and infamous alike. As I mentioned the star Aldebaran was shining brightly during the eclipse focused at 9°degrees Gemini. Since the May 30th Eclipse we have seen the everyone from Martha Stewart to GW to Freddie Mac have been called on the carpet concerning truth and lies. Attorney General Ashcroft his chart His vulnerable moon at 15° Pisces is under attack from Gemini Sun on June 5th Ashcroft asks to tighten the already existing repressive Patriot Act WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft asked Congress Thursday for expanded powers to hold suspected terrorists indefinitely before trials and to let him seek the death penalty or life imprisonment for any terrorist act. Just as the North Node in Taurus 29° passed by John Ashcroft's Natal Uranus causing his even more unexpected repressiveness both Merc and Venus will be squaring his moon on June 21st to cause even more havoc to his emotional nature. With the big salvo coming in July as Saturn moves to sit on his Mars at 8°Cancer his manhood will really be threatened.

Crisis of Confidence Intensifies
In true Gemini fashion (twin intel) the eclipse has come home to roost for the Bush Cartel with new accusations of cooked reports about non- existent WMD's. Both the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and Greg Thielmann director of the strategic, proliferation and military issues office in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research are raising doubts. The Bush administration distorted intelligence and presented conjecture as evidence to justify a U.S. invasion of Iraq And on 6/7/03 another story broke: Both Bush and Blair Face Heat Over Iraq Weapons Was the intelligence regarding Iraq inaccurate or distorted between when it was gathered and presented to the world? America's popularity has waned considerably since the Iraqi Occupation begun. Many political pundits and scholars are questioning the US move to global domination as elequently written in this piece titled America's Imperial Delusion from the British Guardian

Full Moon Chart set for DC the Nation's Capital
Cancer is rising with the Sun and Saturn in the 12th House moving to cross the ascendant bringing hidden agendas to the light of day. This chart indicates a great gathering of information and powerful activation of the media on all levels. We will see multiple stories that can both stimulate and reflect healing, if we choose to read beneath the spin offered. We have Merc, Venus (both recently in Gemini) conj. Ceres to offer not only dualistic points of view but if one reads between the lines with Pluto/Moon conj. in Sagittarius adding power to the people's choices. Read Phoenix Rising's call to use Full Moon Power Uranus in Pisces 3° squares Mercury at 2° Gemini and Venus at 5° Gemini, pushing for more radical ideas and alliances. This potent mutable combination will push our thought pattern beyond the normal place of placid acceptance. With Pluto's conj. to the Moon, people will be ready to go deeper than surface appearances to find the truth which can set us free. Now is time to both face and honor feelings and fears that have been suppressed for too long. Look to where Sagittarius is in our own chart, that is the place where we can truly be open and liberated to the adventure that is life. Also note that Moon and Pluto are in the 6th house of health and service. From a mundane standpoint we see a congressional emphasis on passing medicare bills, preventing the spread of infectious disease (Uranus Rx conj. Mars in 9th) like West Nile Virus, SARS and Monkeypox (transmitted originally from cats and dogs) and protecting our nations water and food supply. Another place that healing is really present is Chiron in Capricorn in the 7th House of partnerships. This will offer healing and wisdom and by squaring personal warrior prescence of Pallas in 17° Aries in MC - dynamic action is present. We have seen Chiron in Capricorn help bring the corporate thiefs and liars to light and now we may see an even powerful movement to expose government corruption. Recently Rep. Billy Tauzin of Louisiana who received $289,743 from the accounting industry since 1989 is being implicated in the Westar Energy soft money case along with Tom DeLay. Athena the wise Goddess will continue on her mission especially since she is trining Jupiter 14° Leo in the 2nd. House of Money and Values. Clarity is being focused on all the previous rumors and accusatons of illegal campaign contributions accepted by the legion of Neo-Cons and Dirty Dems creating a posse of millionaires. As a story broke on friday about Financial disclosure forms released Friday by the nation's 100 senators show there are at least 40 millionaires among them -- 22 Republicans and 18 Democrats. All but six of them are men.

Sabian Symbols and Astrocartography for the Full Moon
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 23° Gemini is: "Three fledglings in a nest high in a tree; the growth of spiritually creative processes in an at least relatively integrated mind." This symbol with the key word elevation describes a transcendant state and evolution of conciousness. In order for the human soul to achive this spiritual growth and fulfill our promised potential, nurturing is necessary. Like baby birds our childlike spirits need gentle care.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 23° Sagittarius is: "A group of immigrants as they fulfill the requirements of entrance into the new country" Again the theme of opportunity and newness is present along with a pioneering faith and courage. In a sense we are all immigrants faced with a choice of entering new territories of thought and cosmic conciousness. Also we will literally see many millions of people become immigrants as they enter new countries and cross new borders.
Astrocartography for the chart set in Washington DC shows Chiron on the IC in Israel,Palestine and Syria Chiron along the IC line steers your subconscious into the hidden regions of your psyche to discover the central reason for being.... by confronting old psychic wounds and repressed emotional pain, you can effectively regain a wholesome identity. Also in the Liberian capital of Monrovia Mars and Mercury cross exactly meaning: the influence of this line is agitating and difficult. ... on a long- term basis, the energy of these places can sooner cause unrest and conflicts in human relations. An Update on June 28th: Liberia Seeks U.S. Help to End Fighting, President Charles Taylor joined his desperate people and called for American help to end the war in his bloodied West African nation.
Elsewhere in Mother Africa, a Saturn line runs right thru the Congo where French troops have been attacked as they help UN Forces: Unrealistic expectations create difficulties...Here you are confronted with the situation to either fight completely for a cause or to give up!
Astrocartography helps in revealing our nation's deeper subconcious motivations in these regions. Our overwhelming need to bring both sides together in painful negotiations will be obsessively consuming for our state department and our national budgets!

Stars of Orion Dominate the Full Moon along with Ophiuchus.
Orion is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, and prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. The Kabalists associated this star with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler". (Robson). The fears of Mad Cow Disease are just starting to be felt from Canada to the Texas Panhandle. Note that Alcyone, the Central Star of the constellation Pleiades has moved from a Taurus longitude in 1999 to 00GEM00.totally into Gemini - our orientation as carnoivoires is undergoing drastic changes with an emphasis on vegetarism..
This Full Moon with Sun at 23° Gemini falls next to a double star in Orion's head called Meissa at 23° GEM 42 The Arabic name for Meissa is Al-Maisan, "The shining one" or as it was known Ras al Jauzah, "the Head of the Jauzah", which it marks. [In early Arabic astronomy Orion was Al Jauzah, the term used for a black sheep with a white spot on the middle of the body]. were thought, like all similar groups, to be of unfortunate influence in human affairs [possibly because they were stormy and war stars].
The Second Star in Orion's Belt Epsilon Alnilam zeta Alnitak at 24° GEM41 and delta Mintaka form the Belt of Orion. The three stars that form the "belt" across the middle of Orion are: Mintaka, the western most star in the belt, comes from the Arabic word for "belt"; Alnilam, this center star in the belt, means "a belt of pearls"; and Alnitak, the eastern-most star, means the girdle. The ancient Jews sometimes called these stars "Nimrod", a biblical figure who was bound to the heavens for disobeying God, whence perhaps came the "Bands", or "Bonds", of Orion, Nimrod according to universal Eastern tradition, signifies "a Lurking Enemy", or a Hunter of men rather than of beasts.
Third Star: AL HECKA at 24°GEM47 "The Bull's southern Horn", In slang, to have the ability to deal with difficult situations forcefully and decisively, is to "take the bull by the horns". The horns of Taurus are shaped like a crescent moon. here was an Assyrian saying "to break the horn of the bull" is "to break the power". This has brought us the traditon of the bull-fight, where el momento de la verdad is when the torrero exposes his chest to the horns of the bull in order to lean over the animal’s head and plant the sword between the horns. Such an act obviously implies a defiance of death. [from Israel Cohen ] General influence of the star: It gives violence, male violence and danger of accidents. (Robson). We must also study the reference to the sacred ceremony of Cretan religion, the taurokatapsia, the ritual in which champions grab the horns of a bull and vault over it. This is the kind of courage we all must demonstrate in our daily lives as we move into this particularly dangerous period.
Finally the Fixed Star for Moon in Sag at 23°. This is a sapphire star on the head of the Snake Charmer Ophiuchus. called Ras Alhague at 22°SAG 27
Influence of the constellation Ophiuchus.: "It is said to give a passionate, blindly good-hearted, wasteful and easily seduced nature, together with Pliny said that it occasioned much mortality by poisoning. This constellation has also been called Aesculapius and held to rule medicines. Kabalists also associated it with the Hebrew letter Peh and the 16th Tarot Trump, The Lightning Struck Tower". (Robson). General influence of the star: Ras Alhague, may make us prone to infectious contamination caused by toxins.gives misfortune through women, perverted tastes and mental depravity. (Robson). Besides the negative influence, Ras Alhague is also responsible for healing Ras Alhague was rising in Abraham Lincoln's chart and he dedicated his life to healilng our country from the ravages of Civil War and slavery. John Lennon had his Venus culminating as this star rose and he spent his life promoting healing and peace through his songs. Madam Blavatsky had Ras Alhague connected to her mercury and produced spiritual writings for the purpose healing our soul's issues.

Festival of Humanity and Reconstruction of Light As Alice Baily said in her collected works : This Full Moon will be the festival of the spirit of humanity-aspiring to approach nearer to God, seeking conformity to the divine will to which the Buddha called attention, dedicated to the expression of goodwill which is the lowest aspect of love to which Christ called attention and of which He was the perfect expression.
An update from June 14th, 2003 - Hatfields and McCoys sign truce PIKEVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- A pen and ink sealed the end of Appalachia's most infamous bloody feud instead of a shotgun and bullets. The pen represented by Mercury/Venus together in Gemini has finally ended more than a century of feuding between the McCoys of Kentucky and Hatfields of West Virginia. Perhaps the Israelis and Palestinians will follow suit?!
As we enter into this powerful reconstructive event, we should remember that the Moon is in futuristic and philosophical Sagittarius opposing the Sun in here and now Gemini. Our minds and hearts are wide open and receptive. We are constantly baraged by information overload and emotional pressures especially with the residue from the Saturn in Gemini which has now shifted to ovewhelming feelings of Saturn in Cancer. Pluto's conjunction with the Moon will catalyze our thoughts and emotions. As Maya Del Mar says: Dark truths will be revealed—both personally and collectively. With this Christos Moon our physical energy represented by Mars in Aquarius will be the impetus to both novel and creative solutions. Mars is moving close to conjunction with Uranus and miracles can occur. The negative side is explosive reactions to excessive restrictions by authority - something that we are seeing daily! From Iraq to the Congo to Cuba to Iran the Uranian element of revolution will continue to be activated. With the Sun/Moon axis set for 6th to 12th House which is the Christ dynamic of service to humanity, healing can move ahead if we just call on spirit.
We have begun a period of reconstruction which will touch into our own DNA to help transform our bodies into light beings. This Spectral moon energy will help us seal the Process of Free Will as we become Galactic Humans to join all sentient and transcendant beings toward the light.
