9
Today is the day for a new beginning! As of 9-9-99, this is the start of the milenium countdown. The number nine itself is a very complex, perfect number. Why? I will explain why here.
Numerologists call nine a complete number. It is the highest of a sequence :
(1 to 9) , (10 to 19) , (20 to 29) etc., marking the transition to a following series. And nine flips through some odd arithmetic acrobats, including reproducing itself when multiplied by any other single number: CHECK THIS OUT!
2x9=18 and 1+8=9
3x9=27 and 2+7=9
4x9=36 and 3+6=9
5x9=45 and 4+5=9
6x9=54 and 5+4=9
7x9=63 and 6+3=9
8x9=72 and 7+2=9
9x9=81 and 8+1=9
Interesting hmmmm...?
This is why I think this is the start of the new beginning.
Have you ever heard of the song "The Age of Aquarius"? I can't remember the artist that did this song but it does have meaning. Since the dawn of mankind the times of our evoultion have been recorded in ages. The reason we call these "ages" is because during the Earth's rotation around the Sun, the Earth's axis changes over time. It takes about 2,000 years or so each time. Think of this as a spinning top. The Earth itself goes through changes and humans are affected by this in so many differect ways. It's really complex but I'll try to explain this as much as I can.
The Great Year has a cycle of about 25,868 years, during which time all the signs of the Zodiac take turns influencing the Earth and its inhabitants. The time the Earth spends under the influence of each sign is called a "Great Month." The Earth moves through each sign slowly (about every 2,000 years) creating the opportunity for its influences to affect large numbers of people and geological occurances.
This whole proces is due to something called the "Procession of the Equnoxes". Due to a slight wobble in the Earth's rotation, the constellation that the Earth appears to be passing in front of at the vernal equnox (around March 21), gradually changes, moving backward through the zodiac. That is why we are now in the age of Pisces, going into the age of Aquarius.
The influence of the astrological sign for each great month is also influenced by its opposite (six signs away) sign. This is known as "polarity". For example, the influences at the closing of this age are Pisces and Virgo. When we enter the Aqurian age, Leo will also be a prominent influence.
Although this has been going on as long as there has been a zodiac and and Earth, the earliest Great Month we have any real knowledge of is the age of Leo, around 10,000-8000 BC. In the following listing, it is easy to understand how the ages are greatly influenced by the vernal equnox sign and its opposite.
LEO/AQUARIUS (10,000-8000 BC):
Leo, ruled by the Sun itself was important to this age of humans. In their primitive, coming-into-being stage of development, creativity was the highlight of this age. Basic inventions and discoveries such as fire, the wheel, stone arrowheads and tools, beautiful and bold carvings and cave paintings all reflect the influences of Leo and its opposite sign of Aquarius.
CANCER/CAPRICORN (c. 9000 BC):
Here, humans emerged from caves and began forming more complex societies. They were less and less nomadic and started farming. This was first seen in China, Egypt, India and Mesopotamia. Fertility cults and rites abounded and were characterized by round, female carvings with large breasts and stomaches. These "Venus fetishes" were used in many of the emerging cultures of the time, but especially from Turkey and Yugoslavia. This strongly showed the influence of Cancer, ruled by the Moon and representing fertility and motherhood, as well as the home. The spiritual practices shifted, during this period from worshipping the Sun, to worshipping the Moon.
GEMINI/SAGITTARIUS (6000-4000 BC):
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, god of the intellect, communication, and mobility. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, god of gods, religion, large and dramatic changes, truth and knowledge. Here is when writing developed. The written word is probably the first sweeping invention to change global society on a grand scale. Starting with rough symbolilc icons on pottery, writing was quickly refined into the complex cuneiform and the pictogram Heiroglyphics of China and Egypt. Religion also became more formalized and the first groups of humans came together in a formal setting to learn and acquire knowledge. This is the beginning of the university system. It is also in this age that we see the first widespread use of the wheel which enabled humans to communicate and commune with others at greater and greater distances.
TAURUS/SCORPIO (4000-2000 BC):
In this age, humans become gounded. Taurus, the Bull constellation is ruled by the planet Venus and is concerned with physical comfort, beauty, music, and solidarity. Scorpio, ruled by Pluto is fascinated by death, rebirth, secrets, and intensity. During this time, worship of the sacred Apis Bull was a widespread cult. The temples of the time were both massive and solid and light, graceful, and airy, an effect that has a dizzying effect on the visitor even today. Scorpio came into play with the Egyptians (and other well-known cultures such as Crete and Mesopotamia) and their preoccupation with death. Their massive tombs and elaborate mummification rites reflect Scorpio's influence. Even in the Judeo/Christian cults, the story of Moses coming down the mountain to see the followers worshiping a golden calf tells the story of a changing from the age of Taurus into the next age of Aries, symbolized by the Ram.
ARIES/LIBRA (2000 BC-100 AD):
As mentioned above, Moses symbolizes the change from the age of Taurus, into the age of Aries. Mars and Venus both rule this age. Mars whose Arian urge is for conquest and war, was oddly combined with Venus' Libran need for peace and balance. During this time the archetecture changed from the massive stone temples and mud brick palaces to the delicate elegance of Greek temples, homes and public buildings. Ram worship abounded and war was everywhere. Conquest after conquest, humans tested their ability to expand and rule. The wandering warlike tribes of Israel are a good example. They were as bloodthirsty as they were religious and their daily temple sacrifices of goats and sheep had a river of blood streaming down a gutter day and night. Violence was typically depicted in art, especially in Greek pottery. And yet, this was the time when balance and equalibriam was also sought after. Wars and conquests made way for more equality in government, human rights, and a voting senate. Archetecture and literature had a symmetry and elegant beauty that can be found in every culture of the day.
PISCES/VIRGO (100 -2000 AD):
In religion, Jesus is the figure that most represents the moving from Aries into Pisces. The symbol of Christians was and is the fish, which also symbolizes Pisces. Jesus, referred to as the lamb of God, is also associated with "fishers of men." Fish were scrateched as secret signs of the walls of the catacomb meeting places near Rome, Italy. The Pisces polarity of Virgo, the Virgin is aptly represented in the mhythology of the Virgin Mary, and through the central theme of Christianity which is peace, love, humility, and charity. Pisces is a sign of spirituality, inner exploration, and emotions. During this time the birth of psychiatry, psychology, non-traditional spritiual practices, and the joining of the Eastern and Western spiritual thought have taken place. Virgo dissects, questions, finds out how things work, makes things smaller and more efficient. The rise in technology speaks for itself here. A computer that would once have taken up acres of room to operate even at the most basic level, can now be put on a chip so small it cannot be seen without great magnification.
AQUARIUS/LEO (2000 - 4000 AD):
So near the new millenium that we can taste it, the "New Age" is already showing its influence in space travel, a greater concern for the human rights in the world, a desire to disarm and practice what we preach about global peace, and an increasing dependence on technology and science. The keyword for Aquarius is "humanity," and hopefully, the age of Aquarius will bring more and more global unity and concern for the human race as a whole, aside from nationalistic greed and avarice. Leo can temper Aquarius' tendency to leap before looking, and to keep creativity flowing. Aquarius cares about humanity but sometimes neglects those close at hand, Leo can bring concern and caring to those near and dear.
As this new, and to some people frightening, era rises there will be massive changes in human thinking. Apocolypse is what it is. The whole Christian dogma will insite fear into those that fear GOD. I envision mass suicides in next coming months and years, due to this control of mentality. You will be saved and go to heaven in the name of GOD. Some people might take the new age as a sign to kill thyself, and be with there deity. Or they might kill others. Some might not even care, and some, like myself, welcome this change. I know what is going to happen, it might be frightening to some, but in my opinion it is just about change. Modern humans are so pre-ocuppied by their normal day to day lives and patterns that they don't expect change to happen. These are the people most affected by this. The Y2K thing is an example. As a test, why don't you set your clock to 11:59 pm of Dec. 31, and see what happens - nothing. Just another day. It's been fixed. Don't worry about it anymore. If desktop computers still work, then wouldn't the giant CRAY mainframes that control the planet's funds work too? The Y2K thing is just another name for Apocolypse, and the world is afraid. FUCKING CHILL OUT!
Well that is my PAGE 9. I hope you learned a little today as you read this, for it is important info to know. Understand that humans are very complex animals, that know so much, yet so little at the same time. Only a few learn to understand what happend, is happening and what is going to happen. And those few make changes in our devlopment in a whole.
