The Grand Star Alignment

Over the past week I've noticed a certain amount of excitement, or at least anticipation, in some quarters of the esoteric community. This has to do with the so-called Grand Star Alignment (or Grand Sextile) that is supposed to happen on July 29 when six planets (Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and the Moon) align in the form of a Star of David pattern.

Planetary configurations have always been considered important in astrology, so it's interesting to see what the Grand Star Alignment portends from an astrological perspective. Expectedly, the interpretations vary depending on the perspective of the one doing the interpretation.

Some quarters put a mostly negative spin on the alignment. A couple of the articles I've seen seem to build off from the information from this PDF file. In summary, this Star of David planetary alignment is quite rare, and the few times that it has occurred, major upheavals supposedly happened such as wars and economic crises. It's hard to validate these claims unless you're also an astrologer, but the author does make his point with the different visuals and timelines, so it's certainly plausible. This view is also interesting because earlier this year, Chinese feng shui forecasts hinted at great changes in the second half of the Year of the Snake. Back in January, I remember reading feng shui predictions that hiccups in the Philippine stock market were likely towards the middle of this year and that's precisely what happened starting in June.

The Before It's News portal goes even further, saying that the Illuminati elite will perform a ritual between July 22-24 in order to accelerate the establishment of the New World Order. The article says that the ritual has to do with the Grand Sextile, although it's mistaken in that aspect because the Grand Star Alignment is happening on July 29.

What is happening next week though (and has been happening the past few days) is a couple of Grand Water Trines (3-planet alignments) with a supermoon happening on July 22. Such timing does seem appropriate for a ritual, even though it won't be on the Grand Star Alignment itself. It's interesting to note that the December 2004 Indian Ocean mega-quake and tsunami as well as the March 2011 mega-quake that resulted in the Japan tsunami and Fukushima disaster both happened on the eve of supermoons. Hopefully we're not looking at an encore of such disasters.

Moving on, some sources see the Grand Star Alignment in a more positive light, as a way to facilitate one's ascension or to mark the start of a grand change and mystical alignment. The Grand Sextile supposedly forms the Merkaba pattern, and the Merkaba has always been associated with ascension and a change in consciousness. This view is held by adherents of El Morya, which you can read here and here.

And then there are the more neutral views, that simply see the coming alignment as an opportunity for big changes. Supposedly, the last time a similar alignment happened was February 7, 1945, when world leaders started meeting on how to end World War 2. Some astrologers even refer to this Grand Sextile as the "saving grace."

So which one is it? Stock up the bunker or break out the crystals and incense? One thing consistent about these astrological alignments is that they simply offer opportunities and openings, so what you make of these opportunities is really up to you. In this sense, it's a part of creating your own reality. We're all supposed to lead sacred and moral lives anyway, so what the next few weeks will bring simply enhances what you already are (or should be) doing.

Whatever the case may be, it's interesting to see what happens next.
