The Fortingall Yew is an ancient European yew
(Taxus baccata) in the churchyard of the village of Fortingall in Perthshire.
It has been recorded as 'male' for centuries, but in recent years it has
started to sprout seeds, suggesting that part of it is changing gender. This
'rare and unusual phenomenon' move has baffled botanists.
It appears that whatever change is taking place is
gradual, as the rest of the tree is still male. Coleman explains, “In the
Fortingall Yew it seems that one small branch in the outer part of the crown
has switched and now behaves as female.” He insists that the tree remains
healthy and the three berries (seeds) have been collected for further study.
The Fortingall Yew is believed to be upwards of 5,000 years old, as estimated
by measurements taken today versus during the 1700s. It just goes to show that
it is never too late to start living to your fullest expression. http://offgridquest.com/green/5000-year-old-tree-in-scotland-is-changi
Transits of
Venus are among the rarest of predictable celestial phenomena and occur in
pairs, eight years apart, which are themselves separated by more than a
century. The previous transit of Venus took place on 8 June 2004 (preceded by
transits on 9 December 1874 and 6 December 1882); the next pair of transits
will occur on 10–11 December 2117 and in December 2125. The 2012 transit of
Venus, when the planet Venus appeared as a small, dark disk moving across the
face of the Sun, is considered by astrologers to carry a rare message – the coming
change in the way we express our maleness! The following extract from Nick
Fiorenza’s essay The 2012 Venus Transit
[1] explains the deep metamorphosis taking place slowly in our concept of the
masculine.
Mars squaring the Venus Transit
stimulates dynamic creative action in leadership based from the Venus Transit
theme. In addition there is a T-square occurring with Venus opposite the
Centaur Pholus (and the minor planet Ixion), square to Mars. The Pholus-Ixion
conjunction, which is long standing, is influencing a metamorphic
transformation and healing regarding issues surrounding the tyrannical and
exploitative use of power.
This T-square is an a significant
facet of our Venus Transit and the years following. It places extra emphasis on
the expression of Mars, but in an entirely new way. The Venus Transit in Taurus
and the Ophiuchus Venus synodic theme invite the empowered and masterful
expression of the feminine principle into the physical infrastructures of our
lives, and in an enterprising capacity. This includes solution through
intuition, art, abundance, beauty and unconditional compassion. Pholus-Ixion
impels a transformational catalyst in the masculine, perhaps unseen yet
mysteriously present. This entirety feeds into Mars, the foci of the
T-square, which impels the externalized expression of this Sun-Venus-Earth /
Pholus-Ixion energetic. It motivates us to ACTIVELY EXPRESS Mars, the
masculine force in our lives and in our world in an entirely NEW WAY. It impels
audacious creative leadership based from the feminine principle that catalyzes
a paradigm metamorphosis into harmony, solution, abundance and beauty, one that
is compassionate, respectful and caring for all life.
But why has
the 2012 Venus transit become meaningful right now. Well, the June 5, 2016 New
Moon [15ge] falls on the 2012 Venus transit position, also placed at [15ge],
thereby activating the chart. A very significant and sharp aspect in the chart
is Saturn [23li04] quincunx the Ascendant [23pi47]. In mundane charts, sharp
aspects to angles are particularly significant for the place. The Sabian symbol
for Saturn says it all:
Phase 204: A
Butterfly with a third wing on its left side.
The butterfly is an
ancient symbol of rebirth. A third wing shows a new development . The left side
usually refers to the instinctual field of consciousness, but it also the heart
side (female) as opposed to the logical reasoning mind (male), the right side. A new strength
is shown, perhaps as yet unrealized.
