Why am I finding a parallel in Harrison and the “Occupy Wall Street” movement? Because astrology is based on the premise: “as above, so below“. Our celestial filament is a moving picture of symbols that when juxtaposed with what is happening here on Earth offers us insight.

When we take the time to reflect on the heavens, we see how we are marching in step with the cycle of evolution, or kicking and screaming against it (which has it’s own synchronistic manifestation).

So back to George. He died in 2001, but the horoscope “lives” on; the spark of any lifetime can be ignited to brightness through transits (where planets are in the sky at any given time).

With the HBO broadcast of Scorsese‘s film Living in the Material World on Oct 5, Harrison is thrown into the public eye with all his brilliance. According to the LA Times his wife, Olivia refers to a letter: “It was in 1965… He was writing home and told his family, ’I know that this isn’t it. I knew I was going to be famous, but now I know I can reach the real top of what man can achieve, which is self-realization.’ He knew then that (material reward) wasn’t it.”

As Uranus in Aries (nascent and confrontational impulse for change) confronts Pluto in Capricorn (powerful and unyielding transformation in corporate institutions and the status quo), George Harrison‘s spirit has released healing music over electronic airwaves and our memories.

Harrison was born with Pluto in Leo on his MC (career point) with strong configurations to the Scorpio Moon (indicating a seductive ability to attract the public) and Mercury in Aquarius (the unusual messenger). There’s a well to plumb here, but suffice to say this: it is time to hear his message in a more concrete way. Transiting Pluto is in his 3rd house of communications and Uranus in his 5th house of creativity.

The synastry between George Harrison and Martin Scorsese is “textbook”. These two men complement one another… whether or not they ever met; Scorsese‘s Scorpio Sun and Pisces Moon is a mirror to Harrison‘s Pisces Sun and Scorpio Moon.

Both men were born with Neptune at 1° Libra. Harrison‘s Neptune was retrograde, which increases the possibility that Scorsese‘s direct motion Neptune brings Harrison‘s spiritual love message to more conscious integration. The planet Neptune symbolizes (among other things) our Universal Unconscious, or how we’re all connected in the Cosmic Soup. That’s why Neptune is often prominent in musicians and filmmakers, because their messages often go beyond the verbal and hit us in an emotional place.

I have no doubt this film with it’s subtle and true message: Living in the Material World will dovetail like a mantra for many aligned with the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. It’s interesting to note that this music was introduced in 1973, as opposed to the 1985 Madonna Material Girl with the same line threaded through it. The transiting planets were in different configurations from the ’70′s to the ’80′s (but that’s another story).

In what way will you choose to be “Living in the Material World”? It will be tough for many to chase after “things” with a lack of awareness as to the true costs.

Welcome back, George… your message stands to reach new ears and a receptive audience.

There is tremendous creativity cooking for those who want to simmer it for awhile.

If you’re feeling adrift instead of in the flow, put on some music you love, do some kundalini breath work, make love or dance. You decide if you’re in the parade or a spectator.

The moon sails into Pisces after the VOC*, creating a day of promise and release. Enjoy quiet reflection whether you’re drifting around a museum, greenhouse or listening to live music.

Keep your mind as empty as possible from worry, concerns or hurts. This gives you a wonderful potential of blasting those things out of your mind.

*Moon VOC/Void-of-Course: Avoid signing contracts, investing in a big purchase or beginning new projects or important conversations. Perfect time for clearing away clutter, finishing up loose ends, meditating or following serendipity. The “mood” of the period will be colored by the sign it is in… in Aquarius you are apt to get caught up in a discussion or a cause which has no resolution. This is an excellent time to visit with friends or bounce around ideas, for pure recreation. If you’re trying to solve a problem, you can connect the dots much more effectively once the moon enters Pisces.

You may have tremendous drive and follow-through ability under your wings.

Think about nothing but your breath. Even one breath will help center you… and don’t worry about going so deeply into meditation you don’t remember you’re driving… this is a conscious meditation.

When you think of nothing but where you are and your response in the moment, magic can happen.

Even if you are reading a book, you may keep reading the same paragraph. This day is golden if you’re able to enjoy a creative flow, if you paint or write or work artistically, spiritually or intuitively. Even if this isn’t how you view your profession, it can be augmented with the keen perception that is rampant today.

This is not a good time for someone who has limited boundaries or a slim handle on the tangible. Ideally, you can enjoy the dreamy stimulus. Avoid self-medicating, especially if you need to have an important conversation.

Listening can be highly acute or greatly distorted, depending on your ability to stay present and grounded.

The Aries moon heralds a return to action, but it doesn’t kick in until 4:42 pm ET. If you can take it off or clear the decks early, so much the better.

*Moon VOC/Void-of-Course: Avoid signing contracts, investing in a big purchase or beginning new projects or important conversations. Perfect time for clearing away clutter, finishing up loose ends, meditating or following serendipity. The “mood” of the period will be colored by the sign it is in… in Pisces, creativity may be high, if one is already in the midst of a project. Inspiration is more fluid than electric. This is also an excellent time to meditate and do conscious prayerwork or volunteer activities.

This can be nice if you’re on vacation with no time constraints or it can be confusing if you have deadlines. However, Mars enters Libra so the desire to relate may increase.

Better to take a beach day or go to an AC movie and “chillax”.

Although the mood may seem to encourage an individual path, the real victors in today’s endeavors will be those who take the time to work through the hitches they encounter with other people. Don’t be discouraged if you hit a seemingly impossible impasse, it all depends on who you know.

You need to be able to meet the challenge head-on to overcome it. Even if you feel it has overcome you, keep your eye on the high mark.

Even if you have to change your direction, you still may make your ideal. It just may look a bit different than you originally thought.

*Void of Course: the moon will make no other geometric connection to any planet before it moves into the next sign. More about VOC.
