In the Astroshamanic Binary System, Sun in Aries (1) and Moon in Taurus (2) constitute Binary 1.2 or Binary number 2.
1.2 (Sun in Aries and Moon in Taurus) blends Cardinal Fire and Fixed Earth, mixing Aries’s qualities with Taurus’s practical sense, endurance and patience. Forceful, determined, strong-willed, brave, yet also most polite, charming and tactful when required, they can endure all kinds of situation in order to achieve their aims.
Sun in Aries and Moon in Taurus form a semi-sextile (30°) aspect, connecting two consecutive signs, which are most different energies, yet closely linked. The signs involved can work well together as long as they keep their integrity. The first sign, in this case Aries, sets the process in motion, and the second (Taurus) follows. If Aries’ initiative, courage and enterprise pave the way, Taurus’ determination, practicality and stability provide major blessings in the pioneering Aries quest.
Two days after exact New Moon we enter into the phase of Crescent Moon, or Sowing Moon. Here the Moon becomes visible westwards after sunset and is 30° to 60° from the Sun, with exact Crescent Moon occurring when the Sun and the Moon are 45° apart (Sun sextile Moon). The first details of the potential of the previous phase begin to emerge. This is a receptive phase, aimed at gathering information and getting ready to take action according to the Intent established or perceived during New Moon. At this stage the multidimensional Intent gently comes to terms with the ordinary reality. The question here is: “How can I translate my Intent into a goal understandable in the third-dimensional reality?” The major impulse for third-dimensional initiation is produced in this phase, which is therefore ideal for clearly identifying and sowing the Intent. This is also a time of digestion, analysis and planning.
The Second Binary
The energy of Aries is sheer energetic impulse. It is not tangible, and often this energy does not manage to move into Taurus. In the majority of cases it is eliminated beforehand. Hence it is a sort of miracle when the energy moves from Aries into Taurus. This is especially the case when this energy carries an Intent which is incompatible with consensus reality.
There are many Aries’ martyrs. They are disintegrated in Aries and do not manage to step into Taurus. Aries constitutes the primary front line defence mechanism. There are forces aimed at preventing access to whatever appears to threaten ordinary reality. If someone holds the Intent of expanding awareness, unveiling mysteries, moving beyond death, transformation, unity and other multidimensional stuff… These are all very perilous issues. With such intentions it is rather difficult to move further than Aries.
Aries can be Jesus crucified, the lamb of God. It is rare that the energy manages to step into Taurus. When it does, it arrives full of scars and wounds.
Often the energy does easily manage to get into Taurus. Yet, once it arrives there it is mainly tamed and has lost touch with the original Intent. The amount of fear and terror that it has absorbed has cause the relinquishment of its pristine motivation. It does not represent a threat for the consensus reality and, as a result, it is granted access to Taurus.
Aries is full of devastated souls. Those who manage to go into Taurus, while holding their original Intent, come out full of shocks and traumas. In order to survive they need to take a break and receive some healing. Aries and Taurus combined, when the Sun is in Aries and the Moon in Taurus (Binary 1.2), represent the provisional rest of the warrior.
The Intent comes to terms with physical reality here. Aries is sheer energy and is unable to ground it. It is restless. It cannot stop. Taurus consolidates. Once we enter into Taurus we become aware of what we are running away from. We are stuck. We cannot escape anymore.
The third stage integrates the binary connection. The major hint in the first and second stage is to be aware of your body and to allow your body to be part of a story, using your imagination. In the third stage you can open up to what comes to you, inviting integration and healing.
Astroshamanic Seal: The power of this binary seal is to give manifestation with courage and determination, with unbending intention and focus. The task is to build the channel between here and now. It is about operating in the lower and higher world, and then facilitate what follows in the middle world. In the vision: the red flag is planted on a rock in a desert landscape. The flag draws many warriors as a sign of emergency. The intent is voiced, which regards building a link between the lower (Quiumakai) and the middle world. This is the foundation of Pahai. The link moves around 12 hills. At the entrance of the channel lies the seal.

STATE OF AKIRWA
1-2 NATION OF ALRAFIAB
Alrafiab, formally Rafiah Pradhinah, is located in the south-west side of the peninsula, including the peninsula of Alkrob.
This is the nation of the first historical settlements and of the most ancient port town, Al Rafio, current capital, which takes its name from the national hero saint, Rafio, the hero who established the first settlements.
In the context of the Akirwa’s rough climatic scenario, Alrafiab is blessed with a mild weather and generous, abundant vegetation, which is also a feature of most of South-West Akirwa.
When the Pioneers emerged into Kirway they met all kinds of difficulties and ordeals. Once they reached the area of Alrafiab, they had the chance to rest and establish the first settlements.
Rafio is particularly famed for its drumming healing and empowering qualities for it was blessed by the Pristine Appearance of Rata Sahe Pah Sadoh, the Totem Spirit of Sector 2. Moreover, this Nation holds the keys of the mysteries regarding all primal issues on human one-to-one relationships. Hence this is the ideal place to journey for those who intend to receive no-nonsense, direct and unexpurgated guidance on the topic.

Binary Programme 1 – Pahekarubhe: 1.2 – 310398
Pahekarubhe Tabe: “The power of this binary is to build with courage and determination, with unbending intention and focus. Your task is to build the channel between here and now.”
310398: Arrivo nel cortile della casa e salgo per consultare il file con il simbolo della struttura di base. All’interno vi sono delle carte con il marchio della combinazione: un quadrato con all’interno il marchio di S1. Mi reco da Bimah per mostrargli la mia disponibilità energetica a operare per Quiumakai. Sono piuttosto arrabbiato. Precedentemente ho compiuto ulteriori abbattimenti con la Bandiera Rossa. Mi viene data una pozione rosso-verde. “Si tratta di costruire e agire nel Mondo del Basso e dell’Alto. Quello è il tuo campo di azione. Qui puoi compiere le tue imprese. Fallo tu primariamente e vedi gli effetti che ciò ha sugli altri. Ora puoi andare sulla collina di S1 che ancora non hai visitato.” Mi sposto lungo un pendio ripieno di rocce taglienti. E’ pressoché desertico a parte qualche fiore o pianta coraggiosa. Ho con me la Bandiera Rossa che pianto sulla cima. Quando la bandiera sventola c’è una situazione di emergenza a Quiumakai. In questo momento c’è tale situazione e tutti i Guerrieri sono radunati. Pronuncio l’Intento Si tratta di costruire un canale di collegamento tra Quiumakai e il Mondo di Mezzo in modo che ciò che viene costruito qui possa avere effetti nel Mondo di Mezzo. Ciò costituisce le fondamenta di Pahai. E’ anche in rapporto con il Tulah di S6. Questo canale ha a girare attorno alle 12 colline di Quiumakai. All’entrata del canale è impresso il marchio della struttura di base e quello di Quiumakai. “Questo è il potere della combinazione: quello di dare forma con coraggio e ardore, con testardaggine e irremovibilità. Il tuo compito è quello di costruire in Quiumakai questo canale durante il corso dell’intero ciclo. Al termine Pahai sarà ben assestato.” Ricevo poi la visione del Sadoh di S2 con tamburo e battente.
Il giorno 24 novembre 1990 visito la nazione di Rafiah, la celeberrima terra dei primi insediamenti storici dello Stato di Kirway. Nell’impervio contesto climatico della penisola di Kirway, Rafiah gode di un clima mite e di una vegetazione estremamente florida e generosa, caratteristica in vero di buona parte dei territori della penisola sud e centro occidentale. Approdo all’antico porto di El Rafi, la capitale dedicata all’omonimo santo eroe guerriero nazionale, e in seguito procedo verso la base di ammaestramento di El Rehi.
In Rafiah dimora il mio parallelo marziano, così come nella nazione di Trentiana di De Kruz, e qui posso librare la sua feroce e sensuale potenza. Affronto le mie prede con una sensualità esagerata, irrorandole di un’energia penetrante, selvaggia e inarrestabile. Evidenzio la contrapposizione verso S6, in cui ero precedentemente, e tutta la tendenza a trattenere l’energia marziana in una rete di obblighi morali, mentali e religiosi.
Una prima inedita esibizione della potenza Rafiahna ha luogo a Poona nel dicembre 1990 ed è fonte di grande successo nel gruppo. In seguito (marzo 1991), esperisco un’ulteriore velleità marziana nel corso di un programma di una rete televisiva italiana. Orgoglioso mostro in diretta la carta rossa del pianeta Marte e mi avventuro a parlare dell’energia marziana in un contesto che, seppure apparentemente del tutto inadeguato, finisce con l’esserne travolto. Dopo una fase di congelamento, l’energia di S1 irrompe ancora con la mia visita ad uno dei menhir di Giurdignano in Puglia (060792).
