Well-known member
Greetings.
There are three given [published] titles for the Astrological Part derived from the formula Asc. + Moon - Pluto.. or I probably should say that these are all I have been able to learn of since I became so very interested in all known Astrological Parts a little more than sixteen years ago.
Those three titles are:
1. Race
2. Racial Conciousness
3. Galvanization
In times such as these I think many of us might wish that there is such an Astrological Part that induces "Racial Consciouness" and this very, so named, Part was quite noticably activated during almost the entire span of the Civil War between the States here in the U.S.A.
I wish I could know who came up with these titles. It is because this Astrological Part was so notably activated almost the entire time span of the American Civil War that whom ever did come up with these names is an astrologer that uses the same natal chart for the United States that I've been contending is the only proper one to use, i.e. the "Zero Hour" chart, 12:00:01 a.m. July 4, 1776 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pluto was conjunct [within a one degree orb of conjunction] a total of 21 months during the American Civil War [and being one of the quotients of the Parts formula, i.e. the "Trigger", Then there is no doubt that Pluto was having its effect upon the Part during that time]. It came into conj. aspect by an orb of one degree on June 18, 1862 and lasted until October 4th. It was exactly conjunct on June 25th, then Pluto went retrograde on August 12th, @ 12* Taurus 20'.
The Part of Galvanization derived from the USA natal chart [the "Zero Hour" chart, i.e. July 4, 1776 @ 12:00:01 a.m. Philadelphia, Penn.] is found to be at 10* Taurus 45' 14". But, I am fairly convinced now that all natal charts must be rectified for the Sidereal precession which moves all natal positions forward, relative to the Tropical Zodiac, through the astrological signs at a rate of apprx one degree every 71.5 years. Thus when the Civil War began, on April 12, 1861, the accumalative rate of precession since the birth of the nation, that was needed to be added, at that time. to all natal positions, which accurately rectifies all points of conjunction to natal positions in the chart, is + 01* 10' 40.8". So by adding that amount to the derived Part of Galvanization, it was @ 11* Taurus 55' 54.8" at the onset of hostilities. On that day, in 1861, Pluto in transit was @ 08* Taurus 35' [I only recognize conjunctions within a one degree orb for Astrological Parts to be considered to be activated. It is only a mathmatically calculated point in space and not anything with material substance. It has no range of influence beyond the degree of the Zodiac it is found to be in].
On March 7, 1861, a month and five days earlier, Mars was conjunct the Part of Galvanization, and on May 4, just 22 days after the war began, Venus was also conjunct the Part of Galvanization, the Sun had been also, two days earlier, on May 2nd.
Pluto went retrograde @ 10* Taurus 27' on August 9, 1861, so it got to almost 30 mins of a degree away from getting within a one degree orb of conj. with the Astrological Part, but it took another ten months for that to happen, on June 18th, in 1862. On November 4, 1861 Black Moon Lilith was conj. with the Astrological Part of Galvanization.
On Sept. 30, 1861 Saturn was conj. the USA natal chart's Part of War, which Sidereal adjusted at that time put that Part at 15* Virgo 59' 55.8", and on Oct. 9, that same year, just nine days later, Jupiter was also conj. the Part of War, which was @ 15* Virgo 59' 56.4" by then.
Pluto did get to that one degree orb limit on June 18, in 1862, as I already mentioned, but it went retrograde on August 10 @ 11* Taurus 24" and the exact point for the conjunction with the Part of Gavanization by then was @ 11* Taurus 56' 47.9", so Pluto was almost within a half of a degree orb of conjunction when it acheived "stationary" status. Pluto stayed within the one degree orb while in retrograde, until October 4th that year. A total of 77 days, but not yet making an exact conjunction. That would finally occur in 1863. During that period from June to October in 1862, however, Venus was conjunct the Part of Galv. on June 15, and the Sun had also done so on May 2nd. Saturn, once again, made a conjunct aspect with the USA's Part of War, for the second time, in retrograde, on May 5th, which, rectified for the Sidereal precession that had accumalated by that time, was @ 16* Virgo 00' 24". Saturn went direct thirteen days later on May 18th @ 15* Virgo 51". So, just like Pluto would on August 10th, later that same year, the two planets both became stationary while within a one degree orb of conjunction with these two critical Parts. Saturn direct would again be in exact conjuct aspect, for a third time, on May 30th. Saturn had gotten within that one degree orb of conjuction, with the Part of War, on April 5th in 1862 and didn't go beyond that orb until June 25th.
Saturn, as I already mentioned, had made it's first conjunction with the Part of War, [since the last time it did so, about 28 years previous] from Sept. 22 to October 9th, in 1861, with the exact conjunction happening on September 30th, that year. Jupiter did the same, that year, from October 4th to the 15th. Mars conjunct the same Part on September 15th, that same year. The True N. Node made a conj. to the USA natal charts', M.C. [rectified for sidereal precession] on August 19, 1861 and was conj. the sidereal precess. adjusted Part of Perspicacity at 09* Cap. 18' 22.8" [a title for that Part which member Phoenix Venus and I were able to determine as the formula Asc. + Neptune - Jupiter, had up to that time been given only the title of Part of Cancer, aka Part of Malignancy, which I figure must surely have been something that came about due to the work of Horary Astrologers, and those that used the craft almost entirely for prediction purposes. It's one of the titles we came up with as an alternative [for natal use] that I've the highest degree of confidence in.
Getting back to Pluto and the Part of Galvanization, Pluto went direct on Jan. 23, 1863 @ 09* Taurus 25', on Feb. 6th that followed, Mars was again conj. the Part of Galvanization and Pluto would finally make its first exact conjunction with the Part of Galvanization on June 25, 1863, which by then was @ 10* Taurus 57' 28", but it got to within a one degree orb on May 6th, that year. Pluto went retrograde on August 12th @ 12* Taurus 20' [still very much within orb of conunction, less than a half of a degree in fact] and Pluto would conjunct the Part exactly, this time in retrograde, on October 1st, that year and the exact point was 11* Taurus 57' 41" at the time. Pluto went beyond the one degree orb while retrograde on the 26th or 27th of November that year. Mars, I should mention, had again made a conjunction with the Part of War on August 28th, that year, 1863.
Pluto went direct on January 25th, in 1864 @ 10* Taurus 22' and got to within a one degree orb of conjunction by March 24th. On May 9th, in 1864 it made it's third conjunction, the secondth by direct motion, @ 11* Taurus 58' 09". By July 1st Pluto had moved just beyond a one degree orb and then went retrograde that year on August 12th @ 13* Taurus 17. Mars conj. the Part of Galvanization that same month, of July, on the 26th. On September 25th in 1864 Pluto again was within a one degree orb and on November 21-22nd made its 4th exact conjunction with the Part of Galvanization, the secondth in retrograde motion, @ 11* Taurus 58' 36". That same day, November 21st, Black Moon Lilith was conj. the USA's natal Part of War which was @ 16* Virgo 02' 25", by rectification for the Sidereal precession, at that time.
The USA's natal Part of Fortune, was conjunct the transiting North Node on Dec 4-5th, in 1863, which by Sidereal rectification, was @ 26* Scorpio 53' at that time. That same month, on the 16-17th, Black Moon Lilith was conj. the sidereal rectified position fo the USA's natal N. Node, which was @ 07* Leo 48' at that time.. Two months later, on Feb. 21, 1864 Jupiter was conj. the USA's natal Part of Fortune, Sid. rect., at 26' Scorpio 53' 47"
In January 1865, on the 25th, Pluto went direct @ 11* Taurus 19' and then made its 5th conjunction, the third by direct motion, on March 23-24, 1865 @ 11* Taurus 58' 54"
General Lee surrendered at Appomatox, Virginia on April 9th, in 1865 and transiting Uranus was @ 25* Gemini 59' to 26* Gemini 01' that day and the USA's natal Part of Imprisonment, Sidereally rectified, was @ 25* Gemini 59' 48" at that time. Defiinitely a Uranus conjunction with a Part that, through the Sabian Symbol found for the degree it is in, literally describes that action, mental precept, or cultural more, that one connot embrace, employ, utilize, etc.
From Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala", that Sabian Symbol is given in description and presented as thus; "A GARDENER TRIMMING LARGE PALM TREES.
KEYNOTE: Bringing under control nature's power of expansion." ... and Dane wrote in the text that followed:
"At this last stage of the seventeenth five-fold sequence we have reached the level of fulfillment of the impulses which began at the first stage (Gemini 21°) in a tumultuous upsurge of self-assertion and protest against the past. Now this upsurge has found its place in the evolution of mankind and society; and - symbolically speaking - "labor" has become not only unionized, but a strong force in the body politic. Yet the energies released seek constant expansion and therefore have to be controlled. There is need for repeated PRUNING."
Any Yank, born and raised in the United States, would very likely tell you that We don't like to be in short supply of anything... especially toilet paper and gasoline, as has been given much publicized evidence to the fact the past year and a half. We are a nation that should be symbolized by a cornucopia spilling out with excessive abundance, of everything imaginable. We over eat, we drink too much, we play hard and long, we work ourselves to a frazzel, we drive big cars, with lots of horsepower, if the neighbor just bought one, we want one too, and a bigger one at that.
The prevailing motto among most American men is "He who dies with the most toys, wins"
I think Uranus' effect upon that Astrological Part should be easy enough to perceive as for the United States, after the Civil War, the process of becoming industrialized was "full on" and the expansion Westward, although sadly to great loss by its indigenous people.
Soon after Pluto was to conjunct the USA natal charts' Part of Retribution.
Anyone interested in that matter can find the natal position in the thread I have on the Astrological Parts of the USA natal chart, here in this sub-forum. You'll have to figure out the Sidereal precession for yourselves if you believe in that technique, as I do, and wish to do so. I do believe that Part is aptly named as for what the South endured for a great many years after that war.
But I do digress, don't I? As this thread is supposed to be about this Astrological Part known as the, with a choice of three titles... 1. Part of Race, 2. Part of Racial Conciousness, or 3. Part of Galvanization.
As I wrote earlier in this thread, that this Part having been so named by someone since the PLANET PLUTO was discovered, it seems to be a logical assumption that who ever that astrologer is/was, they surely believe in the same natal chart for the USA as I do...the Zero Hour chart. ... as for they also saw this very same activity with this Astrological Part during the Civil War and came up with the idea that it must have had to do with the ending of slavery, "the war to end slavery", etc.
It's a noble idea, but the war wasn't entirely about slavery as it was about so many other issues as well, for most that fought in it. Lincoln didn't even issue his emancipation proclamation until 1863.
Why I have so much doubt about that particular title is that I just can't figure "race" being a cause of any concern for the Creator.
I, implicitly, trust the readings given by the late Edgar Cayce on the origin and destiny of humankind. [excellent book, by the way, "Edgar Cayce On the Orign and Destiny of Man". I've owned at least 5 copies over the years and have given each one of them to someone as a gift, a much needed gift to that person in each instance...and they became a much wiser, more spiritually upright and aligned, person for it too.] God wanted five races of humankind created simultaneously, and that's just what the Creator did. Five different Races at the beginning, each Race with a particularly augmented physical/mental/metaphysical sense, or proclivity, that the other Races don't have enhanced. The five different original Races of mankind will, eventually, become just one Race. Thus implying that the more spiritually advanced your soul is the more racially mixed you probably are as it takes a more mature soul to be able to control additional augmented senses and not be controlled by them.
Just as there are no astrological Parts that concern themselves with worldly goods, material wealth [that is, for the prime example, there is no Part of Fortune that influences ones ability to amass wealth of the kind that allows you to purcahse anthing and everything you might so desire. As I've repeatedly written, and given as much demonstartion as I can endure the process of writing to explain, the Part of Fortune is that which provides the most fortuitous means by which to fulfill your dharma, achieve you karmic due, you God ordained destiny.] Just as such, I seriously doubt that any Astrological Part was by divine precept to be an influence as to matters of considerations attending to what your racial ancestry is. From a standpoint of awareness [the Asc. and the Moon, i.e. conciousness centered [focused] on the emotional being of oneself, then "Triggered" by Pluto, the Planet of Transformation, [the Planet of Death, in the lower sense]
It's kind of like a cold slap to the face, not one given to cause harm but resolute and with serious intent. "Quit your sniveling, stop the crying, or come down from those clouds and sober up, a "Reality check". Galvanization can be the type where you roll your sleeves up, tie your hair back, out of your face, get those work gloves on, and your work boots laced up tight, and get the task at hand done like you are a master of the guild. It can also be what brings those that are confronted by a common enemy, to find their common cause and anneal themselves both in mental fortitude and with courage to become a unified force that will match up to that which opposes them. It's quite apparently about overcoming the emotions and transforming that energy into that which provides resolve.
I have said it over and over. The reason I titled my book, "A Template for the Time", in which I wrote about the natal chart of Yeshu'a/Jesus that I produced, is that the natal chart is the "Template" to understanding true astrological knowledge and valid techniques. If you find a reason to doubt that the chart is that of Yeshu'a/Jesus, because of some traditional technique you use, or some portion of analytic technique that gives a contrary conclusion...then toss it out. It's no good. ...and there are many such erroneous practices in what we presently have complied in the Big Book of Astrological Practices and Beliefs of the 20th Century.
It was a fully understood and a true science in times of great antiquity. In fact, I believe the same as Dane Rudhay did, as he wrote that one day, "ASTROLOGY WILL NOT ONLY BE RECOGNIZED AS A SCIENCE, BUT ALSO AS THE MOTHER OF ALL SCIENCE"
WHAT THAT CHART HAS GIVEN US IN KNOWLEDGE AS TO RECTIFYING OLD TECHNIQUES AND BELIEFS AND PROVIDED US WITH HERETOFORE UNKNOWN METHODS [actaully, they were just forgotten, lost over many millenia]. It has shown us that Astrological Parts are symbolically relevant and active, when used in conjunction with the Sabian Symbols as discovered by Elsie Wheller and Marc Jones and presented and defined by Dane Rudhyar. It has shown us that Marc Edmond Jones was correct in stating that the septile is an aspect of fatality but in what manner, how many in a chart, and as to when that does become effective
It has shown us that Dane Rudhyar theory was correct and in stating that the Sabian Symbols when applied to the chart axis does reveal the basic blueprint of who you were born as and that our Creator wants you to transform into during this present life of yours. The "WHO". "WHERE-TO", "HOW", and "WHY" of you present existence. That Astrological Parts can be used in prediction, and that they are a most viable and primary tool to be used in Astrological analysis, not some secondary, trepadatiously utilized but only as a last resort, kind of technique and of little reputation of recommendation. It has demonstrated that the Part of Hyleg was not even understood as to what it represents and was entirely worthless of any use at all until one understands that it can only be truly understood by the use of the Sabian Symbols in conjunction with it.
So many things this natal chart has made us aware of, increased our knowledge of Astrology, provided additional methods of technique of interpretation and effectve usefulness.
...and now, I'm going to use it to help us all come closer to, if not entirely arrive at, an underatanding of just what this formula, of Asc. + Moon - Pluto, produces as an Astrological Part, or Lot?
From the natal chart of the Nazaren, i.e. the chart produced for [gregorian] April 2, in the year 3 A.D. [or C.E., for those that prefer] in the early evening at 5:23 p.m., in or near present day Bethlehem, Israel, that formula produces a point at 29* Virgo 09' 49", the 30th degree of Virgo. The Sabian Symbol for which is [from Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala"]:
"VIRGO 30°: TOTALLY INTENT UPON COMPLETING AN IMMEDIATE TASK, A MAN IS DEAF TO ANY ALLUREMENT.
KEYNOTE: The total concentration required for reaching any spiritual goal.
This is the final symbol of the first half of the cycle. In the year cycle the fall equinox is now at hand; autumn begins. Through spring and summer many ways and byways have been experienced. The last message of this hemicycle of 'Individualization' is that on all decisive occasions what must be done has to be done so intently that no outer voices can penetrate the mind, still less the soul. The neophyte stands at the gates of the sacred Pyramid. There is only one step he can take — ahead, or he is lost.
This is the culminating step, the decision that results from a myriad of small choices. Still a shadow of hesitation can remain. Attention may be distracted from the Now by a voice from the past, glamorizing some old memory. The outer doors of perception and thought must be closed, so the soul can complete its CONQUEST OF ILLUSION."
YES...!!! The same Sign and degree in which Yeshu'a/Jesus' natal Moon was in. Dane Rudhyar wrote a number of times that "the true path of discipleship begins in Virgo and as that natal chart not only has reveled that the Sabian Symbols can be read in either direction but also that it is in the reverse direction, i.e. "clockwise", that amounts to a progressive transformation of spiritual evolution, while the "traditional" direction leads to the opposite, i.e. bondage in Maya.
This is "galvanization" in the highest sense of the word. It's galvanization of the soul. As to how it affects each person will depend on how spiritually evolved they are. As for an entire nation I must assume that will depend upon the perceived immediate need ...and the overall spiritual maturity of the body politic.
There are three given [published] titles for the Astrological Part derived from the formula Asc. + Moon - Pluto.. or I probably should say that these are all I have been able to learn of since I became so very interested in all known Astrological Parts a little more than sixteen years ago.
Those three titles are:
1. Race
2. Racial Conciousness
3. Galvanization
In times such as these I think many of us might wish that there is such an Astrological Part that induces "Racial Consciouness" and this very, so named, Part was quite noticably activated during almost the entire span of the Civil War between the States here in the U.S.A.
I wish I could know who came up with these titles. It is because this Astrological Part was so notably activated almost the entire time span of the American Civil War that whom ever did come up with these names is an astrologer that uses the same natal chart for the United States that I've been contending is the only proper one to use, i.e. the "Zero Hour" chart, 12:00:01 a.m. July 4, 1776 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pluto was conjunct [within a one degree orb of conjunction] a total of 21 months during the American Civil War [and being one of the quotients of the Parts formula, i.e. the "Trigger", Then there is no doubt that Pluto was having its effect upon the Part during that time]. It came into conj. aspect by an orb of one degree on June 18, 1862 and lasted until October 4th. It was exactly conjunct on June 25th, then Pluto went retrograde on August 12th, @ 12* Taurus 20'.
The Part of Galvanization derived from the USA natal chart [the "Zero Hour" chart, i.e. July 4, 1776 @ 12:00:01 a.m. Philadelphia, Penn.] is found to be at 10* Taurus 45' 14". But, I am fairly convinced now that all natal charts must be rectified for the Sidereal precession which moves all natal positions forward, relative to the Tropical Zodiac, through the astrological signs at a rate of apprx one degree every 71.5 years. Thus when the Civil War began, on April 12, 1861, the accumalative rate of precession since the birth of the nation, that was needed to be added, at that time. to all natal positions, which accurately rectifies all points of conjunction to natal positions in the chart, is + 01* 10' 40.8". So by adding that amount to the derived Part of Galvanization, it was @ 11* Taurus 55' 54.8" at the onset of hostilities. On that day, in 1861, Pluto in transit was @ 08* Taurus 35' [I only recognize conjunctions within a one degree orb for Astrological Parts to be considered to be activated. It is only a mathmatically calculated point in space and not anything with material substance. It has no range of influence beyond the degree of the Zodiac it is found to be in].
On March 7, 1861, a month and five days earlier, Mars was conjunct the Part of Galvanization, and on May 4, just 22 days after the war began, Venus was also conjunct the Part of Galvanization, the Sun had been also, two days earlier, on May 2nd.
Pluto went retrograde @ 10* Taurus 27' on August 9, 1861, so it got to almost 30 mins of a degree away from getting within a one degree orb of conj. with the Astrological Part, but it took another ten months for that to happen, on June 18th, in 1862. On November 4, 1861 Black Moon Lilith was conj. with the Astrological Part of Galvanization.
On Sept. 30, 1861 Saturn was conj. the USA natal chart's Part of War, which Sidereal adjusted at that time put that Part at 15* Virgo 59' 55.8", and on Oct. 9, that same year, just nine days later, Jupiter was also conj. the Part of War, which was @ 15* Virgo 59' 56.4" by then.
Pluto did get to that one degree orb limit on June 18, in 1862, as I already mentioned, but it went retrograde on August 10 @ 11* Taurus 24" and the exact point for the conjunction with the Part of Gavanization by then was @ 11* Taurus 56' 47.9", so Pluto was almost within a half of a degree orb of conjunction when it acheived "stationary" status. Pluto stayed within the one degree orb while in retrograde, until October 4th that year. A total of 77 days, but not yet making an exact conjunction. That would finally occur in 1863. During that period from June to October in 1862, however, Venus was conjunct the Part of Galv. on June 15, and the Sun had also done so on May 2nd. Saturn, once again, made a conjunct aspect with the USA's Part of War, for the second time, in retrograde, on May 5th, which, rectified for the Sidereal precession that had accumalated by that time, was @ 16* Virgo 00' 24". Saturn went direct thirteen days later on May 18th @ 15* Virgo 51". So, just like Pluto would on August 10th, later that same year, the two planets both became stationary while within a one degree orb of conjunction with these two critical Parts. Saturn direct would again be in exact conjuct aspect, for a third time, on May 30th. Saturn had gotten within that one degree orb of conjuction, with the Part of War, on April 5th in 1862 and didn't go beyond that orb until June 25th.
Saturn, as I already mentioned, had made it's first conjunction with the Part of War, [since the last time it did so, about 28 years previous] from Sept. 22 to October 9th, in 1861, with the exact conjunction happening on September 30th, that year. Jupiter did the same, that year, from October 4th to the 15th. Mars conjunct the same Part on September 15th, that same year. The True N. Node made a conj. to the USA natal charts', M.C. [rectified for sidereal precession] on August 19, 1861 and was conj. the sidereal precess. adjusted Part of Perspicacity at 09* Cap. 18' 22.8" [a title for that Part which member Phoenix Venus and I were able to determine as the formula Asc. + Neptune - Jupiter, had up to that time been given only the title of Part of Cancer, aka Part of Malignancy, which I figure must surely have been something that came about due to the work of Horary Astrologers, and those that used the craft almost entirely for prediction purposes. It's one of the titles we came up with as an alternative [for natal use] that I've the highest degree of confidence in.
Getting back to Pluto and the Part of Galvanization, Pluto went direct on Jan. 23, 1863 @ 09* Taurus 25', on Feb. 6th that followed, Mars was again conj. the Part of Galvanization and Pluto would finally make its first exact conjunction with the Part of Galvanization on June 25, 1863, which by then was @ 10* Taurus 57' 28", but it got to within a one degree orb on May 6th, that year. Pluto went retrograde on August 12th @ 12* Taurus 20' [still very much within orb of conunction, less than a half of a degree in fact] and Pluto would conjunct the Part exactly, this time in retrograde, on October 1st, that year and the exact point was 11* Taurus 57' 41" at the time. Pluto went beyond the one degree orb while retrograde on the 26th or 27th of November that year. Mars, I should mention, had again made a conjunction with the Part of War on August 28th, that year, 1863.
Pluto went direct on January 25th, in 1864 @ 10* Taurus 22' and got to within a one degree orb of conjunction by March 24th. On May 9th, in 1864 it made it's third conjunction, the secondth by direct motion, @ 11* Taurus 58' 09". By July 1st Pluto had moved just beyond a one degree orb and then went retrograde that year on August 12th @ 13* Taurus 17. Mars conj. the Part of Galvanization that same month, of July, on the 26th. On September 25th in 1864 Pluto again was within a one degree orb and on November 21-22nd made its 4th exact conjunction with the Part of Galvanization, the secondth in retrograde motion, @ 11* Taurus 58' 36". That same day, November 21st, Black Moon Lilith was conj. the USA's natal Part of War which was @ 16* Virgo 02' 25", by rectification for the Sidereal precession, at that time.
The USA's natal Part of Fortune, was conjunct the transiting North Node on Dec 4-5th, in 1863, which by Sidereal rectification, was @ 26* Scorpio 53' at that time. That same month, on the 16-17th, Black Moon Lilith was conj. the sidereal rectified position fo the USA's natal N. Node, which was @ 07* Leo 48' at that time.. Two months later, on Feb. 21, 1864 Jupiter was conj. the USA's natal Part of Fortune, Sid. rect., at 26' Scorpio 53' 47"
In January 1865, on the 25th, Pluto went direct @ 11* Taurus 19' and then made its 5th conjunction, the third by direct motion, on March 23-24, 1865 @ 11* Taurus 58' 54"
General Lee surrendered at Appomatox, Virginia on April 9th, in 1865 and transiting Uranus was @ 25* Gemini 59' to 26* Gemini 01' that day and the USA's natal Part of Imprisonment, Sidereally rectified, was @ 25* Gemini 59' 48" at that time. Defiinitely a Uranus conjunction with a Part that, through the Sabian Symbol found for the degree it is in, literally describes that action, mental precept, or cultural more, that one connot embrace, employ, utilize, etc.
From Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala", that Sabian Symbol is given in description and presented as thus; "A GARDENER TRIMMING LARGE PALM TREES.

I think Uranus' effect upon that Astrological Part should be easy enough to perceive as for the United States, after the Civil War, the process of becoming industrialized was "full on" and the expansion Westward, although sadly to great loss by its indigenous people.
Soon after Pluto was to conjunct the USA natal charts' Part of Retribution.
Anyone interested in that matter can find the natal position in the thread I have on the Astrological Parts of the USA natal chart, here in this sub-forum. You'll have to figure out the Sidereal precession for yourselves if you believe in that technique, as I do, and wish to do so. I do believe that Part is aptly named as for what the South endured for a great many years after that war.
But I do digress, don't I? As this thread is supposed to be about this Astrological Part known as the, with a choice of three titles... 1. Part of Race, 2. Part of Racial Conciousness, or 3. Part of Galvanization.
As I wrote earlier in this thread, that this Part having been so named by someone since the PLANET PLUTO was discovered, it seems to be a logical assumption that who ever that astrologer is/was, they surely believe in the same natal chart for the USA as I do...the Zero Hour chart. ... as for they also saw this very same activity with this Astrological Part during the Civil War and came up with the idea that it must have had to do with the ending of slavery, "the war to end slavery", etc.
It's a noble idea, but the war wasn't entirely about slavery as it was about so many other issues as well, for most that fought in it. Lincoln didn't even issue his emancipation proclamation until 1863.
Why I have so much doubt about that particular title is that I just can't figure "race" being a cause of any concern for the Creator.
I, implicitly, trust the readings given by the late Edgar Cayce on the origin and destiny of humankind. [excellent book, by the way, "Edgar Cayce On the Orign and Destiny of Man". I've owned at least 5 copies over the years and have given each one of them to someone as a gift, a much needed gift to that person in each instance...and they became a much wiser, more spiritually upright and aligned, person for it too.] God wanted five races of humankind created simultaneously, and that's just what the Creator did. Five different Races at the beginning, each Race with a particularly augmented physical/mental/metaphysical sense, or proclivity, that the other Races don't have enhanced. The five different original Races of mankind will, eventually, become just one Race. Thus implying that the more spiritually advanced your soul is the more racially mixed you probably are as it takes a more mature soul to be able to control additional augmented senses and not be controlled by them.
Just as there are no astrological Parts that concern themselves with worldly goods, material wealth [that is, for the prime example, there is no Part of Fortune that influences ones ability to amass wealth of the kind that allows you to purcahse anthing and everything you might so desire. As I've repeatedly written, and given as much demonstartion as I can endure the process of writing to explain, the Part of Fortune is that which provides the most fortuitous means by which to fulfill your dharma, achieve you karmic due, you God ordained destiny.] Just as such, I seriously doubt that any Astrological Part was by divine precept to be an influence as to matters of considerations attending to what your racial ancestry is. From a standpoint of awareness [the Asc. and the Moon, i.e. conciousness centered [focused] on the emotional being of oneself, then "Triggered" by Pluto, the Planet of Transformation, [the Planet of Death, in the lower sense]
It's kind of like a cold slap to the face, not one given to cause harm but resolute and with serious intent. "Quit your sniveling, stop the crying, or come down from those clouds and sober up, a "Reality check". Galvanization can be the type where you roll your sleeves up, tie your hair back, out of your face, get those work gloves on, and your work boots laced up tight, and get the task at hand done like you are a master of the guild. It can also be what brings those that are confronted by a common enemy, to find their common cause and anneal themselves both in mental fortitude and with courage to become a unified force that will match up to that which opposes them. It's quite apparently about overcoming the emotions and transforming that energy into that which provides resolve.
I have said it over and over. The reason I titled my book, "A Template for the Time", in which I wrote about the natal chart of Yeshu'a/Jesus that I produced, is that the natal chart is the "Template" to understanding true astrological knowledge and valid techniques. If you find a reason to doubt that the chart is that of Yeshu'a/Jesus, because of some traditional technique you use, or some portion of analytic technique that gives a contrary conclusion...then toss it out. It's no good. ...and there are many such erroneous practices in what we presently have complied in the Big Book of Astrological Practices and Beliefs of the 20th Century.
It was a fully understood and a true science in times of great antiquity. In fact, I believe the same as Dane Rudhay did, as he wrote that one day, "ASTROLOGY WILL NOT ONLY BE RECOGNIZED AS A SCIENCE, BUT ALSO AS THE MOTHER OF ALL SCIENCE"
WHAT THAT CHART HAS GIVEN US IN KNOWLEDGE AS TO RECTIFYING OLD TECHNIQUES AND BELIEFS AND PROVIDED US WITH HERETOFORE UNKNOWN METHODS [actaully, they were just forgotten, lost over many millenia]. It has shown us that Astrological Parts are symbolically relevant and active, when used in conjunction with the Sabian Symbols as discovered by Elsie Wheller and Marc Jones and presented and defined by Dane Rudhyar. It has shown us that Marc Edmond Jones was correct in stating that the septile is an aspect of fatality but in what manner, how many in a chart, and as to when that does become effective
It has shown us that Dane Rudhyar theory was correct and in stating that the Sabian Symbols when applied to the chart axis does reveal the basic blueprint of who you were born as and that our Creator wants you to transform into during this present life of yours. The "WHO". "WHERE-TO", "HOW", and "WHY" of you present existence. That Astrological Parts can be used in prediction, and that they are a most viable and primary tool to be used in Astrological analysis, not some secondary, trepadatiously utilized but only as a last resort, kind of technique and of little reputation of recommendation. It has demonstrated that the Part of Hyleg was not even understood as to what it represents and was entirely worthless of any use at all until one understands that it can only be truly understood by the use of the Sabian Symbols in conjunction with it.
So many things this natal chart has made us aware of, increased our knowledge of Astrology, provided additional methods of technique of interpretation and effectve usefulness.
...and now, I'm going to use it to help us all come closer to, if not entirely arrive at, an underatanding of just what this formula, of Asc. + Moon - Pluto, produces as an Astrological Part, or Lot?
From the natal chart of the Nazaren, i.e. the chart produced for [gregorian] April 2, in the year 3 A.D. [or C.E., for those that prefer] in the early evening at 5:23 p.m., in or near present day Bethlehem, Israel, that formula produces a point at 29* Virgo 09' 49", the 30th degree of Virgo. The Sabian Symbol for which is [from Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala"]:
"VIRGO 30°: TOTALLY INTENT UPON COMPLETING AN IMMEDIATE TASK, A MAN IS DEAF TO ANY ALLUREMENT.
KEYNOTE: The total concentration required for reaching any spiritual goal.
This is the final symbol of the first half of the cycle. In the year cycle the fall equinox is now at hand; autumn begins. Through spring and summer many ways and byways have been experienced. The last message of this hemicycle of 'Individualization' is that on all decisive occasions what must be done has to be done so intently that no outer voices can penetrate the mind, still less the soul. The neophyte stands at the gates of the sacred Pyramid. There is only one step he can take — ahead, or he is lost.
This is the culminating step, the decision that results from a myriad of small choices. Still a shadow of hesitation can remain. Attention may be distracted from the Now by a voice from the past, glamorizing some old memory. The outer doors of perception and thought must be closed, so the soul can complete its CONQUEST OF ILLUSION."
YES...!!! The same Sign and degree in which Yeshu'a/Jesus' natal Moon was in. Dane Rudhyar wrote a number of times that "the true path of discipleship begins in Virgo and as that natal chart not only has reveled that the Sabian Symbols can be read in either direction but also that it is in the reverse direction, i.e. "clockwise", that amounts to a progressive transformation of spiritual evolution, while the "traditional" direction leads to the opposite, i.e. bondage in Maya.
This is "galvanization" in the highest sense of the word. It's galvanization of the soul. As to how it affects each person will depend on how spiritually evolved they are. As for an entire nation I must assume that will depend upon the perceived immediate need ...and the overall spiritual maturity of the body politic.
