The Grid and Age Group Agendas
Zodiac Signs and Age Group Agendas
Perhaps the simplest way to understand the four major themes of the Grid, as well as the planet metaphors, is to look at the zodiac signs and the age group agendas.
People from the same age group (cohort) will have a planet metaphor in the same zodiac sign. For example, as shown on the diagram, everyone born from 1938 to 1958 has their age group pluto in zodiac sign Leo. People born from 1943 to 1956 have their age group neptune in Libra.
Thus, people from the same age group cohort will have the same age group agendas based on the zodiac signs of their planet metaphors.
The Dynamics of the Generations
The zodiac signs and the age group agendas can easily read the dynamics between and among different generations - be it the family dynamics of the parents, children and grandparents or the dynamics in the workplace of older and younger workers.
In the Forthcoming Guide to the Grid, we discuss the zodiac signs and age group agendas according to the colors and themes of the Grid:
The Dynamics of the Generations in Red: Group Re-demption
- The World War II generation from the 1940's as the Parents and their Children from the 1970's.
The Dynamics of the Generations in Blue: Individual Experiences
- Those from the 1960's -e.g. the Michael J Fox generation and healing a prior individual experience.
The Dynamics of the Generations in Orange: the Group Re-newal Process
- The Boat Rockers from 1968-75
- The Grandparents (1915-28), the Parents (1938-58) and the Children from the 1980's.
The Dynamics of the Generations in Green: New Vision
- Why E=mc2; Albert Einstein's generation had four of six planet metaphors in Green and three in Taurus.
- The "Usual Suspects from 1938 -Evel Kneivel, Wayne London, Ted Turner
- Neptune in Virgo and Uranus in Taurus and why we feel more creative around "Muses" from 1962-1968.
- The Indigo Children from the late 1980's and 1990's
Understanding Yourself and Your Family
In this "Tour of a Guide to the Grid" we briefly discuss...
The Agenda of the Moment
The zodiac signs can also help understand the metaphysical and spiritual agenda of the moment, and why certain themes and issues are surfacing or resurfacing at this time.
Pluto in Sagittarius -the Group Re-newal process
Since 1995 and at least until 2008, pluto is in Sagittarius: our society will re-link at the soul level to the Group Re-newal process at Group Re-newal Places. This for the first time in circa 250 years, which is the cycle of the planet pluto.
This could be quite relevant to those born 1982-84 who have their age group neptunes and uranuses in Sagittatius -high performance -natural experience (uranus) with this script (neptune), and to those born 1949-50 -their parents, who have their chiron in Sagittarius.
When pluto exits Sagittarius circa 2008, it enters Capricorn - the manifestation of the New Vision. Maybe between now and 2008, the New Vision or paradigm shift is being created.
Uranus in Pisces - Authentic Individual Experiences
Since 2003 and for about eight years Uranus is in Pisces: our society will re-link to authentic individual experiences, especially those on the 2 nd chakra.
This could be why the issues of gay civil rights, gay marriage, homosexuality in Episcopal Bishops and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church are in the news today.
Uranus has an 84 year cycle, and the last time uranus was in Pisces was circa 1920-1926 - the time of the roaring 20's, the flappers and the failure of Prohibition - again, the theme of authentic individual experiences on the 2 nd chakra.
Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius -Group Re-demption
Neptune has been in Aquarius since 1998 - the first time in circa 168 years, and chiron entered Aquarius in February of 2005 - the first time since 1955-59.
Our society could have an agenda (neptune) to align and heal (chiron) the holes-in-the-flow (book of coupons) of Prior Group Experiences (Aquarius) that have never been re-deemed at a Group Re-demption Center .
This theme could be relevant to those born in the 1940's who are wired heavily in Red for Group Re-demption.
The Numbered Degree Windows: Individual Agendas
The 360 degrees of the zodiac ecliptic are divided into 12 zodiac signs each containing 30 degrees, numbered 0, 1, ... 29.
On any given day, a planet will be located in a particular zodiac sign and on a particular degree (0, 1, ... 29) within that zodiac sign.
In the Grid, a planet metaphor is placed in degree window 0, for example, if it is on degree 0, regardless of the zodiac sign. Same with degree 1, and up to degree 29.
Thus, the degree 0 from all zodiac signs are lumped together as are degree 1 from all zodiac signs, etc. up to degree 29.
This lumping together of the individual degrees from all zodiac signs is perhaps a major difference between the Grid and classical astrology.
In the Grid, each degree window is given its own meaning: degree 0 refers to new resources in Red; degree 1 is opening a new play in Orange; degree 2 is a new individual experience in Blue; and degree 3 is the manifestation on the Stage of a new Green script.

The Left Side of the Grid
Orange and Green on the left side of the Grid are the Flow of Ideas . Old Orange and Old Green are the flow of old ideas of a Traditional Culture, and New Orange and New Green are the flow of new ideas for a New Culture.
The left lower middle of the Grid is Traditional Culture , where Old Green is the flow of Individual Roles and Old Orange is the flow of Group Stories.
Old Green is the flow of Prior Individual Roles. It's habits, traditions, precedents in a society, ex-pected behavior, traditional roles in a culture such as lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher, police person, fire person; people who wear uni-forms, which means "one form", that is, ex-pected behavior based on the the uniform, the organization and a code of ethics.
Since genes on DNA are prior individual roles, in the description of Old Green, an analogy to genes on DNA is included in brackets. Genes are blueprints of expected behavior - the corresponding protein that the gene codes for. By the theory of morphic resonance, all prior individual roles including genes on DNA would re-sound (resonate) in the same Old Green Jell-O Mold.
Window 14 is the Archive of all prior individual roles [the genome -the archive of all genes on DNA].
Window 18 is the re-lease (re-loosening) of a prior individual role [turning on a gene on DNA].
Window 7 is the (Category II) prior individual role [the individual gene on DNA].
Window 27 is non-attaching to the prior individual role [turning off the gene].
Window 5 is the "hole (in the flow) of compassion" where the prior individual role goes " home to Spirit." [no correspondence to DNA and genes].
Old Orange is the flow of Group Stories -zodiac sign, Aries; window 26 -Kali; window 25 group core belief and window 16, the Trickster.
We call Old Orange, the Serpent Filter, because we think this vibrational pattern and the flow of Group Stories has to do with ne-cha-sh, the Hebrew word for serpent. It might also relate to the biology of copper, the Hebrew word being ne-cha-sh-ot - as if copper is a receptor of serpent energy.
The zodiac sign Aries would be the funnel or the top of the serpent filter. This is at the level of the 3rd chakra--letting go of an Old Group Idea.
Window 26 is the energy of Kali--the Hindu Goddess that destroys what needs to be destroyed and creates what's needs to be created. Her theme is " this belongs and this doesn't , which is similar to the immune system duality of " kill not self, but don't kill self."
Window 25 is the Category II group metaphysical form - the conventional group belief, the group core belief, the conventional idea; for example, the curriculum of a school that represents the traditional cultural beliefs of a society that are deemed worthy to be passed on to the children of that society.
In a paradigm shift, the shift is in the conventional group core belief of window 25. (A group belief that the earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth or that space and time are absolute.)
Window 16 is Trickster energy - the abrupt unexpected end to conventional thinking. This can be through humor and the illogical juxtaposition of logical, rational thought, or through an abrupt and unexpected leaving of the physical, as in an unexpected accident or death. Trickster energy is also coyote medicine and the Native American "Kokopelli."
The combination of windows 16 and 25 is closing (window 16) and an old play (window 25) - as in taking the old play My Fair Lady off the marquee. This is at the level of the 2nd chakra.
The Trickster takes the conventional thinking of a group and puts it into the zodiac sign, Sagittarius - The Group Re-newal Place.
The Group Re-Newal Place is the zodiac sign, Sagittarius. It is the interface between the Old and the New, between Old Orange and New Orange, between the old ideas of the traditional culture and the producing the new ideas for a new culture.
The input to the Group Re-Newal Place is the Trickster energy of window 16 depositing the old group core belief -the Old Play. The output is the will, the Heart, the desire to produce a New Play.
Window 1 is (Category I) re-linking to the Group Re-Newal Source. It is at the level of the 1 st chakra.
Window 10 and zodiac sign Leo are the Heart to open and produce a New Play. This is at the level of the 4 th chakra. It also connotes the technical or stage managing skills to produce the New Play.
New Green is the flow of New Ideas - the creation and manifestation of a New Vision.
This vibrational pattern involves the three trine Earth signs -Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn, and the 7 th , 6 th and 5 th chakras.
Window 12 and zodiac sign, Virgo are the (Category I) creative energy of the Muse or the Goddess on the 7 th chakra.
Window 22 and zodiac sign, Taurus are the (Category II) metaphysical form of the New Vision on the 6 th chakra or the third eye.
Window 11 and zodiac sign, Capricorn are the (Category II/III) energy of manifestation of the New Vision on the 5 th or throat chakra into the New Culture (Window 8).
Window 3 is the (Category II/III) manifestation of a part of the new vision also on the 5 th or throat chakra into New Group Experiences (window 29).
The New Vision manifests on The Stage (Category III) as...
Window 8 - the New Culture, and Window 29 - New Group Experiences.
Window 8 is associated with people skills - social energy and the dynamics of groups and individuals.
Window 29 is associated with a technical skill, such as wood working, photography, financial or athletic.
The Left-Side of the Grid and the 3-2-1-4-7-6-5 sequence of the classic seven path Labyrinth
The sequence of the 3rd chakra (zodiac sign Aries), the 2nd chakra (windows 25 and 16--closing the Old Play), 1st chakra (window 1/Sagittarius), 4th chakra (window 10/Leo), 7th chakra (window 12/Virgo), 6th chakra (window 22/Taurus) and 5th chakra (window 11/Capricorn and window 3) reproduces the 3-2-1-4-7-6-5 sequence of the classic seven path Labyrinth.
We suspect that the left-side of the Grid corresponds to a left-handed labyrinth (first turn to the left).
The Right Side of the Grid
The right side of the grid involves experiences in space and time. Blue is Individual Experiences and Red is Group Experiences. Blue pulses Red, so to speak, and Blue and Red are in the phi proportion as in the Semper Phi Warrior Sequence.
Blue is Individual Experiences and the Three Trine Water Signs: Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer.
Old Blue is Old Prior or Karmic Individual Experiences, and New Blue is Authentic Individual Experiences not based on Karma.
Old Blue is the memory of a Prior (Karmic) Individual Experience.
Old Green is the Prior Role and Old Blue is the Prior Rendition; if Old Green is the sheet music, then Old Blue is singing the song.
In biological terms, the Old Green prior Role is the gene on DNA that codes for the protein -the Old Blue prior rendition or experience.
Given the analogy between Old Green prior roles and Old Blue Prior renditions, the corresponding Old Green window is shown in brackets.
Window 23 is the archive of all prior individual experiences [window 14].
Window 21 is the re-lease (re-loosening) of a prior (karmic) individual experience [window18].
Window 17 is the Category II prior (karmic) individual experience [window 7].
Window 19 is the non-attaching to or the dis-charging the prior (karmic) individual experience [window 27].
New Blue -“The Real Deal” is Authentic Individual Experiences on the 2nd chakra. It can be individual creativity in space and time such as painting, gardening, jewelry making, or it can be an authentic relationship with another person. It might also be a sense of “destiny”.
Window 4 (and Pisces) is the Category I re-birthing of the authentic individual experience.
Window 2 (and Scorpio) is the Category II authentic individual experience.
Window 6 is the Category II/II insertion of the authentic individual experience into the New Culture (window 8). Window 6 is associated with pigment and with place: if the authentic individual experience involves individual creativity in space and time, window 6 is the “artist’s studio. In an authentic relationship, window 6 is the “love nest.”
Window 24 pulses the prior karmic individual experience (window 17) to the door of the redemption center (window 9).
Red is Group Experiences and the Three TrineAir Signs: Libra, Aquarius and Gemini.
A “member” is a “limb”, and so “re-membering” a prior group experience in the realm of memories (Dreamtime) is equivalent to “re-limbing” that group of people in space and time (Yuti).
The theme of Red is group re-demption. Re-demption means to re-purchase, and re-purchase also means to “get another grip on” as a purchase on a wrench. Thus, the Red area of the Grid involves getting another grip on a prior group experience that happened in a Place.
Gemini is the Group Re-demption Center (upper right of the Grid). It’s like the old S & H green stamps re-demption center, where after the stamps were pasted in the book, the book of stamps could be re-deemed (re-purchased) for an item of your choice.
Libra is the Archive of all Prior Group Experiences. The curved path from Libra to Gemini is the Old Red pathway of the coupons being re-deemed.
Window 20 is the dredging up or re-limbing of a prior group experience from Libra, the archive of all prior group experiences.
Window 15 is the Category II memory of a prior group experience - the “coupon.”
Window 28 is torquing or spinning in of the prior group experience into Gemini, the Group Re-demption Center. Also the de-limbing of a group of people.
Aquarius is the Place or Place Line or Latitude line where the Prior Group Experience occurred. The straight path from Aquarius to Gemini is the “holes” (holes-in-the-flow) in the book of coupons being re-turned to the re-demption center.
Window 0 is the Hole-in-the-flow of the Place or Place Line.
Window 13 is re-turning the Hole-in-the-flow into the Gemini Group Re-demption Center.
Window 9 is the Door to the Re-demption Center. It is pulsed by window 24 and an Old Blue prior karmic Individual Experiences (window 17) that comes up the central Axis of Re-demption.
