BRICS is the acronym for an association of five major
emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Originally the first four were grouped as "BRIC" (or "the
BRICs"), before the induction of South Africa in 2010. The BRICS members
are all leading developing or newly industrialized countries, but they are
distinguished by their large, sometimes fast-growing economies and significant
influence on regional affairs; all five are G-20 members. The inaugural BRIC summit took place in Yekaterinburg, Russia on June
16, 2009.
In this post we look at the chart for the first solar
eclipse of 2009 that fell on Jan 16, 2009 and its role in the inaugural BRIC
summit. The following extract from Nick Fiorenza’s monthly lunar planner for
Jan. 26 entitled To Cross a Threshold, explains the essence of this eclipse:
Eclipses, generally
about six months apart, can be thought of as times that allow us a fresh start
in the continuing series of spiraling lunar cycles--a transition time of
disengaging or letting go and re-engaging and starting in a new octave of
participation. The theme of a solar eclipse lunar cycle creates an
underlying current that extends throughout the 6-month eclipse period.
The New Moon eclipse
occurs in the midst of a stellium (grouping) of planets in sidereal Capricorn,
including retrograde Mercury, Mars, Juno, the Centuars Nessus and Chiron, and
Neptune--all centering on the Lunar North Node. These planets synthesize their
forces as if they were one massive planet--and in this case, creating a
powerful force or wave that will sweep through our lives and carry us forward
into a dynamic year of accelerated change and new realms of experience. This
stellium's placement on the North Lunar Node creates a magnetic force that
pulls us into the future.
The Earth-Sun-Moon
alignment occurring very near a Lunar Node is what creates an eclipse. Thus,
the North Node's position is an important significator as to what is required
in this Lunar Cycle as well as through the following six-months. The Lunar Node
axis is also a magnetic pointer, a direction to move. The North Lunar Node (on
the precessional hyperborean cusp) also conjoins Epsilon Indus (associated with
the seven-pointed Star Trek emblem--to go where we have not gone before); along
with the northern Dumbbell Nebula M27 and the Pulsar JP 1953, both in
Vulpecula, the sleek and sexy, but sly and cunning fox. Pulsars are ever
beating beacons for the soul. This Vulpecula pulsar's message is to let go
and to move on--from an old covert and manipulative fear-based exclusive way of
participating, to a more open, wholesome and inclusive way of participating.
The need here is to realize it is time to mobilize upon more expansive
direction. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LunarMonths2009/lunarmonth.09.01.26.html
In order to understand how Fiorenza’s extract applies more
specifically to the BRIC summit, we now look at the chart for the eclipse drawn
for Yekaterinburg, Russia. Notice the Venus-Uranus-Saturn-TNP Cupido T-square
straddling the horizon axis. Among other things, Venus rules finance while a
simple interpretation for Uranus-Saturn-Cupido is:
The urge for freedom
(Uranus) from restrictive conditions (Saturn) leads to the formation of a group
(Cupido).
On the descendant with Cupido is the star Sabik. Eta (η)
Ophiuchus, Sabik, is a star on the right leg of the Serpent Bearer. The
constellation Ophiuchus is linked to healing, repairing or fixing things that
have broken down. And Diana Rosenberg notes that Sabik was part of China’s
Great Market and was linked to financial concerns.
If we now progress the eclipse chart to June 16, 2009, the
date of the summit we find that the progressed MC triggers the eclipse configuration implying
that foregoing issues are brought out in an event that occurs on that date.
