Astrology & Evangelion?!

I was reading through the basics of astrology today and came across something neat. I haven't thought about this long enough to extract any real significance from it (hence why I'm posting this in the chat sub-forum), but it's a pretty neat connection; in astrology the black moon (the lunar apogee) is associated with Lilith!

Lilith and the Moon's nodes are exceptions: these points are based on astronomical data and consequently find more acceptance in astrological circles. The moon’s nodes, which are always exactly opposed, are those points where the paths of the moon and the earth cross. Most astrologers see these points as being of karmic significance: The ascending or northern node is said to represent the spiritual development called for in this life, while the descending or southern node represents experience gathered during previous lives. Another point of view regards the northern node as a point of meeting, signifying important personal ties or connections, while the south node indicates separation. The well-known German astrologer Thomas Ring taught that the northern node shows where subconscious contents can become accessible, whereas the southern node shows where conscious awareness can sink back into the depths of the unconscious.


One of the interesting parts of this article that relates to evangelion...

The Dark Moon shows where we can let the Whole flow into our selves, without putting an "I" in the way, without putting up a wall in the form of ego. At the same time, it doesn't indicate passivity - on the contrary - it symbolizes the firm will to be open and trusting, to let the Greater World flow through one, relying entirely on the great laws of the universe, on that which we name God. To prepare us for this opening, the Dark Moon creates a necessary void.

... sounds a lot like the ATF/ego-dissolving qualities of the two impacts.

It is intresting, but not wholly surprising-Anno drew from Astrology for inspiration. Now, I'm not calling Anno a master astrologist, but it's not like he can't find it online or in a book...

The Dark Moon in this context is said to be representative of a voluntary inwash of the outside world. In the context of Third Impact this may apply to those confronted with a siren, but the connection still feels like one of those "in name only" things if on purpose at all.

I forgot how hard it was to comprehend the level of intelligence on this site......

Too many big words.....must draw pictures.....

Indeed -- just eked from the contents of a stack of books piled on his desk. (So to speak.) Anybody can track down the same sources that Anno drew from.

The Dark Moon sounds vaguely familiar, now that Zuggy mentions it. I've actually long been puzzling over what the Black Moon has to do with anything (in terms of 3I)... The "occult inspiration" aspect is interesting, in the sense that it could be a hint as to what's going on in the show. (Once "readjusted" to the local context, of course.)

And, Hexon, that picture is just as baffling as the stuff Zug writes. :lol:

Wayyyyyyyyyyy too much thinking. Even in that picture... Though I already knew that Garfield the Cat had a ton to do with Evangelion and third impact. Originally, he created the black moon, but became too obsessed with himself to actually control it, so he passed the responsibility on to Al Gore, who worked with Lilith to control the moon.

Either way, ZZW (Zugzwang) will always freak me out and continue to give my quote some sort of truth behind it. Good show ZZW, good show.
