The May 2004 Wesak Eclipse, the Buddha, and Releases of Love
by Robert Wilkinson
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 4th with Jupiter stationary direct marked a point of critical emergence. Besides the fact that eclipses are historically said to indicate the fall of governments or other collective crises in the nations its shadow touches, they also seem to parallel critical developments in the lives of individuals and corporations, depending on which sectors are associated with the lunation.
One important thing of note: The Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio every spring is associated with the Wesak Festival, an international holy day where tens of millions celebrate the Buddha's birthday. The ancient prince of India who renounced worldly power and wealth to become the first major world teacher to expound and practice a life of compassion was born under this influence. It is said that each year the eternal consciousness we call "the Buddha" opens a "door" to send increased "Buddha nature energy" into our world, supposedly to help us learn ways to decrease worldly suffering, in our own lives as well as the lives of others. Thus this time is said to set in motion elements of collective change in world evolution. This particular eclipse falls on the axis of the "Ox point" and the "Eagle point," a line of radical evolutionary challenge. With Neptune driving the T-square from the "Angel point," expect major developments wherever the "Lion point" at 15 Leo falls in your charts.
