Hari Om,

Please pass this on to anyone you think is interested. If you receive this newsletter from a friend and want to be on this mailing list, just email in your request.

Hello to the new people who have obtained my ebooks on the I Ching and astrology. You have been put on this list because it involves the use of the I Ching hexagram for the degree of the new moon along with comments about the challenges to concentration and meditation involved in each new moon. (If for some reason you do not wish to receive this newsletter just email me and let me know and you will be taken off this list.)

      The exact New Moon occurs on Sunday, May 20, at 7:48 PM (EDT), (May. 21, at 5:18 AM in Gujarat) in the I Ching hexagram “Taming Power of the Small”. Included below are the relevant interpretation segments of the hexagram from my ebook The I Ching: The Sequence of Change, An Astrological Perspective. (Can be ordered online at www.thewakingdream.net) Also available is my new book I Ching: Great Treatise: An Astrological Perspective, a commentary on the words of Confucius and his students.

THE LINES

Nine in the sixth place: (00° - 01° Gemini)
One acts without considering what is right.
Impressed with one’s own self importance,
One gives advice when one should not.
One does not know when to stop.
Sleep will be lost.

         The sixth place: 00° - 01° Gemini:  19. Approach
         One takes advantage of the time
         And rushes ahead.
         One does not consider
         Whether the approach is appropriate or not.

                  Nine in the sixth place:
                  One says more than one should.
                  Humiliation.
                  Inconsiderate words will have deep consequences.
                  One would be wise to apologize.
                  One would be wiser
                  If one had said nothing in the first place.

In today’s world words are being used powerfully with little or no reflection on the implications. Most media outlets would consider it a great imposition if the news or words published had to be true! The hexagram for this Gemini New Moon Eclipse suggests that a little reflection and gentleness will have a powerful effect. The eclipse here also suggests that light will be suppressed in this matter. You can’t always believe what you hear or read in print.
The solution implied is to turn the mind inward towards one’s heart rather than outward toward discord and tension. If one must speak one should reflect first and then speak softly, with consideration given to the listener.
The horoscope for this New Moon Eclipse in Gemini is significantly afflicted. There will be a marked tendency to act on hearsay or gossip, without taking time to ascertain what is true and what isn’t. The world is challenged by a confusing and distorted sense of priorities. Simple truth is obscured, and open minds and ears are difficult to find. It is as if beliefs and disbeliefs are gaining more credibility than the truth itself. It seems as if blind justice has run amok.
Who is setting the standards and who has credibility?
When there is fog, one usually needs to slow down and wait for it to lift.
Silent reflection is invaluable.
Can you hold your centre within, and not be pulled out into outer discord?
Can you hear the your own voice within?
Words and thoughts represent disturbances of peace.
Can you arrest them?
Before judging other’s words and thoughts, one would be wise to search within to see if one’s own words and ideas are healing or helpful, and if they are truly sensitive to the needs and circumstances of others.
Slowing down thoughts and turning off the mind can be a very difficult thing to accomplish in today’s electronic world. Can there be a virtual peace in a virtual environment? Simple silence can be a  most difficult challenge. Meditation, prayer and chanting become extremely useful tools for the continued experience of silence and peace. In this fast moving modern world, will you make some time for inner peace and strive for gentleness in your communications? Or will you be tempted to compromise and veer of course? Even a moment of silence can produce beneficial effects across a day. Will you strive for moments of peace and gentleness? Every moment counts!
Singing hymns or bhajans, and chanting God’s name with others is a most beautiful activity. In the Age of Kali, otherwise known as the age of argument and darkness, chanting is said to be the most direct way to attain Godhead, or loving presence. Chanting cuts through the darkness and doubts of the restless mind and helps us to focus on heartfelt feelings.
When you say a name of God, God is there. The more times you say it the more God is there.
