Day 9 : August 24
Realization of the New Jerusalem

Instructions: Expand your sense of unity to all that exists. Discover this reality in all that you do (even outside the circle) and never lose it. Continue this experience rather than remembering it.

Astrological Associations: "The concluding day of the prophetic period presents a spectacular celestial picture. the new Moon in Virgo forms just at sunrise at Teotihuacan. Mars/Venus/Mercury are also in conjunction in Virgo. Jupiter continues as the solitary planet in the upper heavens in trine with the rising Leo planets and Uranus/Neptune; making a grand total of eight planets involved in the Grand Trine. The Grand Trine is now of mixed Fire and Earth elements. Only Saturn and Pluto do not participate in any way in the pattern of the Grand Trine.

"The Ninth phase of a sequence brings completion, attainment, and fulfillment of the endeavor; yet because Life is a creative process, completion is not absolute cessation. The end of one cycle is the beginning of another. Every end is the seed of a new beginning, thus, in the ninth step there is also the stirring of fresh life. "It is rather curious that within all the promise of the celestial picture on this culminating day of the prophetic period there should be no planets in Air Signs. What this means is unclear, but perhaps what is symbolized here is that humanity has received all the inspiration needed to initiate the new age. What is required now is to carry on with the realization of the vision that has been revealed."

Disparaging the social order.

The obscure is explained:
Storing up; no diminishing,
No granting the Stone.

I Ching:

Before Completion
BEFORE COMPLETION. Success.
But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,
Gets his tail in the water,
There is nothing that would further.
