The Wesak Moon
After the resurrection and rebirth of Easter at the beginning of spring, the next important event in the astrological/spiritual calendar is the Wesak Moon. The Moon greatly influences all life on the Earth and in the course of the Sun’s transit through the whole zodiac the full Moon takes place in every one of the signs. Each one of them is a highly significant event in its own special way when the time has come for celebrating the Wesak Festival. Studying my interpretations of the Sun in Taurus and Scorpio will go a long way towards a better understanding of the energies that are influencing us and our world at this time.
Things can only happen on the Earth plane when the time for them is right, i.e. the energies are lined up to allow it. At any given time numerology can be turned into a useful instrument for gaining insights into which energies are influencing us the events of our world and us within them. Let me illustrate it with this year’s Wesak Moon. It is a time when transformative and regenerative energies are flowing with particular strength from the highest levels into every lifeform on our planet, whilst bringing us closer to the Buddha vibrations of love, peace and goodwill.
As you will soon be able to see, it is of particular significance in this context that this year’s Wesak Moon takes place on Monday 30th April 2018. 1) Monday is the day of the Moon, the planetary ruler of Cancer, the sign of the Great Mother of all life. 2) 30 = 3 + 0, i.e. 3 Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, the sign in which humankind’s superconscious faculties are developed. 0 = the circle of Eternity. The thirty connects the energies of the two numbers with each other.
3) April = 4th month and the 4 is ruled by Uranus, co-ruler of Aquarius together with Saturn. 4) Now take the number of the year 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 11 one of the Master numbers ruled by Scorpio, the sign of birth, death and rebirth, degeneration and regeneration. The Master numbers should by rights not be added together, but in this case it opens another dimension. 1 + 1 = 2 = the Moon and the Great Mother. 5) 3 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9 Mars, ruler of Aries, the sign of all beginnings, and co-ruler of Scorpio, together with Pluto, God of the underworld of the ancients. 6) 1 = the Sun, source of all creativity, planetary ruler of Leo and human hearts, is present.
7) So is 8 = Saturn, co-ruler of Aquarius with Uranus. Saturn guards the gate into the Age of Aquarius, ready to turn from the teacher into the rewarder for those who are keeping the receiver/transmitter station of their earthly minds constantly tuned into the frequencies of the Highest. The Buddha vibrations are part of these energies. Tuning into any part of them assists us with evolving into increasingly powerful channels through which the blessing and healing energies of the Christ Spirit can flow, first into us and from there into our world. And whenever one of us is healing, our whole world heals with us.
Neptune moving through Pisces, its own sign, is adding to the above mentioned positive energies. Neptune in Pisces is a transit that started in February 2011 and will continue until January 2026. The general influence of these energies is an epic shift in the individual and collective consciousness of our world. This kind of transit only takes place about every one hundred and sixty-five years. Each time it signals times for outstanding artistic pursuits, the development of spirituality and the emergence of secret information. The energies a planet in its own sign is particularly strong and allows it to manifest its highest and most positive aspects more easily than at other times.
Until 15th May of this year, Uranus will be moving through Aries, the point of all beginnings. Uranus moved into this sign in March 2011 and its transfer through each sign takes seven years. The changes this brings about affect each one of us personally and also our whole world. Uranus in Aries has been bringing our personal selves forward in revolutionary ways that require the development of new thinking and behaviour patterns. Although Mars, the ruler of Aries, has been the God of war of antiquity, isn’t it the highest time that our world at last turned to making use of the highest and most positive expressions of the Mars energies? Tuning into the Martian energies is beneficial for aspiring healers and lightbringers in their search for assistance with their role as pioneers and wayfinders of the Aquarian Age. Discovering new ways of resolving humankind’s earthly conflicts is our task. May God and the Angels hold our hands and show us how to go about it.
But, let’s return to the Lord Buddha for a moment. He is said to have meditated under a Banyan tree until he found his enlightenment. In the Hindu religion this tree represents the tree of life. As we know by now, the Buddha is as much a legendary figure as the Master Jesus. It is therefore not surprising that the tales about the length of time the Buddha sat in meditation and also the type of tree where this took place vary considerably. The Boddhi tree legend says that after having become enlightened, the Buddha stayed under this tree and also others for seven more weeks of meditating and mastering all his senses. However, the accounts of these seven weeks do not always exactly match in some details such as timing. It seems likely to me that the seven weeks are more of an allegory, a symbolism for an indefinite length of time, similar to the forty days and nights Jesus is said to have spent in the desert, than what the Buddha actually did.
By the way, the same especially powerful outpourings of the Christ energies are flowing into our whole world on a number of other occasions, for example around the time of the Wesak Moon and the Christ Moon, and also the Summer and Winter Solstice or the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes. Regardless of whether we live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, they simultaneously reach and influence all life on our planet equally strongly. The reversal of the seasons in the hemispheres does not make any difference.
If you follow the link to ‘Myths And Legends’ at the end of this chapter, you can read more about the legends of the Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ. I believe that the Buddha story was given to our world as a demonstration of how eventually every human being will find its way into buddhahood. The time of the Wesak Moon is particularly good for meditations and quiet reflections, not on the figure of the Lord Buddha but the purpose of the legend that surrounds him.
From the White Eagle Lodge’s Starlink May 2012: ‘White Eagle tells us that at time of the Wesak Moon there is a natural up-rushing of life from the Earth and as the energies rise, there is a corresponding outpouring from the spiritual spheres. The ascending and descending ones blend and fuse, and an expansion of the spiritual power of the Highest takes place on the Earth plane.’
The following is the essence of a teaching from the White Eagle group of spirit guides received from the White Eagle Lodge for the Wesak Full Moon 2015: ‘At this time of the Buddhist Wesak Festival, we would like to invite you to a special meditation that consciously attunes your whole being to the heightened vibrations of tenderness and love. In earthly life they can be absorbed much more easily at this very special time of the year. The Buddha energies are helpful for those who wish to walk the path of deep compassion. They have the power of raising your own consciousness as well as that of your whole world onto the higher level of existence where they are ruling supreme.
‘In your imagination lift yourself from your present plane of existence to the higher etheric planes with their purer air and finer pulsation or vibration. Come with us to an assembly of wise ones where a vast gathering is taking place to celebrate the event that in earthly life is known as the Buddhist or Wesak festival of peace, compassion and love. Feel how the sweet and holy Buddha love is enveloping and filling your whole being. Your heart expands with love and compassion for every form of life because everybody here is aware that all of them are siblings in the family of the Universal Christ, the Light of all lights, in whom all life is one. Feel your love and compassion for the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms as well as the very substance of Mother Earth. Meditate frequently on this at-one-ment until infinite love and peace until it fills your whole being.’
