The Black Moon

The Black Moon
A Sensitive Experience of the Soul's Potential in the Light of the Hamburg School Astrology

 

The Black Lights: the Black Moon and Black Sun axes in combination with the Moonnode axis, are part of the transpersonal dimension in the horoscope and symbolise the inherent soul’s mission brought into this life. They furnish the potential to decondition and represent the instruments to become what one already is in essence.

 

The Black Lights are mathematically calculated points and are deducted from the position and distance of the Moon and Sun towards the Earth.

On the picture above we see the elliptic orbit of the Moon and the (illusionary) elliptic orbit of the Sun around the Earth. Each elliptic has two focuspoints: the Earth, world of matter and the Black Light focus: the spiritual world. The position on the orbit where the Moon is the furthest away from the Earth is called the Black Moon. The position on the orbit where the Sun is the furthest away from the Earth is called the Black Sun.

 

 

The Black Moon is in her apogee when she is the furthest away on her orbit around the earth and where she could so to speak withdraw from her fixed orbit and step out of it as it were to define het own way. At this point the Moon has the least Moonquality of her structuring and nurturing principle and is almost equal tot the Sun as an individual star, authentic and original. The house position of the Black Moon in the horoscope describes the area where one refuses to go along with the conditional, mediocre and commonly accepted environmental cultural system.

The Black Moon is so to speak the steering device for one’s inner world and impels to follow one’s own intuitive wisdom in order to go the unique and individual path of one’s destiny. The Black Moon brings one in connection with another dimension of one’s existence where one can make the difference in one’s life. The house position is the area where one can open up to a deep connection with the soul’s mission, passion and fascination . This Black Moon potential generally does not manifest itself fully before the second half of one’s life -save some exceptional cases of course- when the personality has formed and made itself suitable as an instrument for the soul’s purpose to realise its destiny in this life.

A human being needs a firm developped personality in order to bring his light into the world.

 

Usually the Moon gets fertilised with the light of the Sun during the personal New Moon period, and can begin to bear fruit around the personal Full Moon period. Then slowly the awareness wakes up to make a difference in the wold by connecting with the innate passion of the Black Moon which often was felt as a child but who wasn’t prepared and able yet to manifest in the world. First life experience is needed to ripen the personality by repeating and adapting in the area where one is accepted and approved by one’s surrounding and has great ease to perform. This process occurs in the opposite position of the Black Moon on the Moon orbit, called Priapus, after the Greek God of fertility, where the Moon is the closest to Earth and where she has the utmost quality of structuring and nursing, a Supermoon so to speak.

It is a known fact that when transit Pluto squares natal Pluto (so called midlife crisis/opportunity in disguise) one is invited and called upon to open up to the impulses of the Black Moon (according to houseposition) where one has a loopclear awareness and vision that needs to be connected with the proper life experiences in order to integrate one’s spiritual heritage and be able to apply these unique core qualities at the service of mankind in a non-personal, altruistic way.

The way to achieve this is represented by the Black Sun-Diamond axis, the so called road of the Hero in combination with the Moonnode axis.
The Black Sun is the position on the Sun’s orbit that is the furthest away from Earth. It is the open channel towards the Universe, where the individual has not been conditioned. It is a naieve and creative force, that needs to be channelled and given form in life. It is actually around 12-12.5 degrees Cancer (it moves 1 degree every 72 years) and the houseposition is determining. Opposite the Black Sun lies the Diamond, which represents the area of the maximal realisable form into matter which helps us unlock and manifest the hidden juwel of the Black Moon and transform it to be of service to mankind.

As stated, the core quality of the Black Moon is indicated by house position, whereas position in sign indicates the correlating atmosphere.

The Black Moon in the 10th house in the natal chart indicates that the person has an inborn enhanced insight in social structures and the quality and ability to become a key figure and make history on a national and mundane scale by bringing on necessary changes in social and moral value systems for the benefit of society and wellbeing of mankind. It takes courage and dedication to do so and as we will see it sometimes can become a very sensitive life experience, especially when a personal sacrifice is made in fullfiling the soul’s mission.

I have the honour to present to you today my research on the position of the Black Moon in the 10th house in the charts of several wellknown public personalities in the field of power and politics and illustrate with the 90 dial the remarkable and surprising connection with relevant planetary pictures and personal points, according to the Hamburg School Astrology

I hope I will succeed to transmit and share with you today the result of my findings, which is the first step of further research.
