SUN, MOON, Eclipses and PLANETS in 2021 – Astro Highlights of the Year

31 Dec

Dear Astro~News Reader,

at this pivotal Transition from more than an ‘old year’ – a coming out of an old way of Being and are being birthed into to a new one

Roman two-faced Roman God Janus  – the Doorkeeper of the Year, looking into the Past and into the Future

The Archetypes of SATURN & Janus the Roman Doorkeeper God that gave January its name are influencing the Zeitgeist of this time of year…
Both are into closure of an old year and chapter… review / harvest / inventory of the old, and fresh outlook at the new.

What an intense-ly OLD year it’s been, dominated by JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO in CAP – an Old Empire expires. It’s been said and experienced many times, many ways…
Time to let it wash out and look forward to the NEW.

SATURN is the ruler of CAPRICORN, the Zodiac energy that rules the dimension of time, and seasonally of the time of year when the old calendar year ends and a new one begins.

SATURN just left its own sign CAP on Dec 16, 2020 which it inhabited since end of 2017!

Now SATURN is in AQ – Our Humanity Matters.
And after being ‘ahead of the game’ in the last years (no kidding, did we ever experience the restrictive, serious, weighty energy!) was at Winter Solstice passed by JUPITER – a New Era for our Shared Humanity has started.

The Janus symbol is very fitting at this juncture not just of the year-end and New Year, but specifically this year for SATURN out of CAP and into AQ, since CAP has to do with history / the old, and AQ with the future.

 

How about clarity and outlook into what’s ahead?

So I’m offering you here-now the Highlights of Planetary Movements, New Moons, Full Moons, and Eclipses for 2021.

Post super heaviness & density / immensity in massive CAP the coming year promises to be lighter, more transparent, and we’re in for surprises.

If you’re an Astro buff you probably ‘connect the dots’ with ease. But hey, we all have blind spots. 

 

In any case, if you feel intrigued to tune into the whole ‘orchestra’ of planetary influences, customized to your personal birth chart, I invite you to come to a private session.

And if you’re specifically interested in getting a sense of a certain planetary transit come join our upcoming Astro workshops and Parlours in 2021!
In person in Victoria a.s.a.p. or for the time being online, via zoom, from your home around the globe.
Just register by 24 hrs prior, with your birth info (so that I can set up and integrate YOUR chart into the discussion), and show up at the PST / PDT time).
Details via Astro~News, and on my FB Astro Page!

 

Let’s get right to it

The Year energetically already started with the JUPITER / SATURN conjunction on Dec 21 / Winter Solstice 2020

…just days after both Planets were OUT of CAP, and came together at 1° AQ – starting a new 20-year cycle.

A 20-year socio-economic-political JUPITER / SATURN cycle ended which began on May 28, 2000, with both Planets in TAURUS – emphasizing mostly conservative political leadership, territorialism, consumerism, accumulation / emphasis on ‘owning’ (those who do and those who don’t – even more social discrepancy between the rich and the poor), real estate frenzy, and thankfully at least also a growing concern for Nature, yet so much of the cultural-economic global lifestyle happened at the detriment of the well-being of Mother Earth and of all her Beings (incl. the future of humanity).

Their new alignment on the cusp of AQ brings for the next two decades an emphasis on co-creation, collaboration and social responsibility of all humanity – beyond CAP hierarchies.
PLUTO will follow into AQ in 2023 – the bigger and deeper irreversible evolution goes in that direction.
One could say, the AQ Age is in the making.

More about the JUPITER – SATURN alignment in this blog article.

Of course, the integration of JUPITER and SATURN in AQ is a big theme of 2021. 

JUPITER is now leading – with more emphasis on outgrowing the old, and co-envisioning new opportunities.

 

The calendar year starts with a BANG!

As MARS – initiator Planet, from Jan 6 on in TAU, will almost immediately square SATURN & JUPITER in AQ, between Jan 13 & 22, and align with stationary URANUS & LILITH in TAU, between Jan 20 & 29.

Whoaaa! Expect the unexpected. A square is a Martian aspect – and MARS & URANUS are involved – no boredom.
And we already see the tension / friction build up, when it comes to ‘bio security’, ‘new economy’, ‘cashless society’…

The TAU – AQ tension revolves around 

Nature / Biology – Technology
Conservatism – Progress 
Capitalism – Communism
Earth – Human Society

Examples:
Gardening / being in Nature – ‘Living in the cell phone / social media’
Body / senses – abstract / virtual Networks
Bodily Integrity – Technology invading / inhabiting the body
Natural food – technologically modified ‘food’ and scientific ‘input’
Habits – Disruption / experimentation
Owning – Sharing / distribution
Tangible Reality – Virtual Reality

Combinations / Bridging of TAU & AQ:
Green Revolution
New Earth / Nature Consciousness
“We the People. Preservers of Nature and of our Human Nature & Bodies”

 

URANUS, the Ruler of AQ is now in TAU (2019 – 2026) – Wake Up, Earthlings, and emBODY Freedom!
Esp. in the face of a technocratic dystopia (SATURN in AQ) – with the threat of our data, incl those related to our habits and even our bodies being ‘externalized’ (who owns you?), more extensively than ever.

Ultimately, URANUS calls us to emBody unconditional Freedom!

 

As an extra boost, JUPITER in AQ will square stationary (going out of retro to direct on Jan 14!) URANUS (ruler of AQ) in TAU, on Jan 17.
Both Planets are about Freedom.
As in:
Jupiterian freedom of outgrowing the old and restrictive, understanding its lessons, seeing the bigger picture, envisioning.
Uranian liberation, revolution, breakthroughs, and awakening.

In their 13-year cycle, they align in sharp aspect (conj., square, opposition) every about 3 years.
Time for an upgrade when it comes to freedom – likely
(given the square and also MARS & SATURN involved) born out of creative conflict.

 

JUPITER & URANUS open the scene for SATURN in AQ squaring off with URANUS in TAU 3 times in 2021:
Feb 17, June 14 (with SATURN retro), and Dec 23 (with URANUS retro).
The alignment will be active Feb – June and Dec!

After 2020 having been heavily dominated by JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO in CAP (big time intense crescendo of the Old Empire), 2021 will be a SATURN – URANUS year, with AQ Flavour, and TAU Undertone.


The SATURN – URANUS clash is THE most important theme in the cosmic weather in 2021

  • A conflict between social / societal control / regulation / reglementation / responsibility and embodying Freedom?
  • Clash between control of society / organization / planning of ‘The System’ by elite authority figures and organic liberation?
  • Technocracy vs Biosphere? ‘Bio-Security’?!
  • (More?) Disruptive effects on the economy having dire / challenging consequences for society / humanity?
  • Bio disruption – where is freedom? And what are the effects on Nature and the future of our beautiful Planet?
  • Our authority and responsibility as humans and as humanity – to heal rather than to create more trauma.
  • Spiritual teachings about liberation – emBodying them in community and in the human web.

 

The very Aquarian Year will be kicked off after the CAP New Moon (Jan 12 / 13) – first New Moon after the JUPITER – SATURN alignment – and it comes with PLUTO: Transformation out of the old, coming out from under its shadow, being in our Soul Power and showing up with our Best in co-creating the NEW.
More AQ activation with the LEO – AQ Full Moon on Jan 28 (with SUN / JUPITER / SATURN / MERCURY in AQ).
Even more so with the Super-AQ New Moon on Feb 11 (with SUN / MOON / MERCURY / VENUS / JUPITER / SATURN in AQ!) which also initiates the Chinese New Year of the Yin Metal OX, from Feb 12 on (after the Yang Metal RAT since Jan 25, 2020 – any associations?!).

The world will look quite different from Feb 2021 on.

 

And what’s with JUPITER 2021?

Since JUPITER is 12 1/2 months in a Zodiac sign – which aligned in the last years Dec to Dec the calendar year has a flavour of the cosmic vibration JUPITER enhances (no kidding, re: CAP in 2020…).

JUPITER in AQ for most of 2021 gives a boost for contribution of our Best, and distribution / sharing / co-creating in Humanity.

JUPITER will even briefly ‘dip into’ PISCES (May 13 – July 28) where it will be fully for a year, from Dec 28 on.

  • Super-chaos? Overwhelm and confusion? Big losses?
  • Can music and the arts safe us, and be more supported again???
  • Spiritual gifts and support in the integration of the crisis…
  • Big time appreciation for connections with one another and in the web of life…

 

Here is the ‘Birth Chart’ of 2021 –

…showing these described alignments already building up.
Plus other planetary activations at this threshold into the NEW.

 


SUN / MOON – 

12 New Moons, 12 Full Moons, and 4 Eclipses

Nothing eclipsed here, but beautiful polar New Moon ‘boat’ (photographer unknown)

As always, NEW MOONs and the days to follow are good times to ‘plant a new seed’.

My understanding is different from ‘old school’ Astrology, suggesting it’s a good time ‘to set an intention’ – since that’s a limiting masculine biased view.
Intention is just one (the yang) side of the NEW MOON which has a yin-yang Conception quality.
The yin feminine side suggests to also be open to receive and conceive, round the NEW MOON.

FULL MOONs bring cycles to fruition (as the famous ‘Harvest Moon’ shows).

 

ECLIPSES (this year ‘only’ 4 of them, after 6 in 2020) are exact NEW MOONs and FULL MOONs, aligned with the Lunar Nodes – call it ‘Light Switches’ / ‘Karmic Pathways’.
Or (in Chinese symbolism) ‘Dragon’s Mouth’ = North Node where fresh energy is provided, and ‘Dragon’s Tail’ = South Node, where old energy is released.
ECLIPSES extend their effects beyond the Lunar Phase, over several months.

 

The GEMINI (North Node) – SAG (South Node)(since June 5, 2020, and until Dec 23, 2021) theme for the ECLIPSES in 2021:
Questioning the Old Story. Entering New Dialogues.
Inviting us, rather than buying into old stories, narratives, beliefs, agenda, false promises, ‘religions’, ‘knowing it all’ and making assumptions (SN in SAG) to be curious, question the narrative / agenda, engage in dialogue, and be a learner.

ASTRO CONSULTATIONS

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.

Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution.
Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.
The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life.
I’m always happy to welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!    

Feeling called to explore your own Cosmic Map, and how it can guide you on your Earthly Journey?
Come over / let’s meet online, for Your private Astro session!

 

ASTRO~EXPERIENCES
via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology

Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (the 15 years I’ve been facilitating workshops and classes) become quite potent and catalytic. The intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) are a treasured way of being personally seen and involved – more commitment, a personal sense of community, and deeper effects.

CANCER – CAP Full Moon (Dec 29) – Birthing out of more-than-2020, and into Our Shared Humanity

28 Dec

Dear Star Being,

Feeling HER in you?

The first wintry Full Moon (next ones: Jan 28 and Feb 27) is in the making…
She has many attributes and associations:

The Christmas Moon
The ‘Cold Moon’ of December
The ‘Who’s Family when Winter Comes Moon’
The Rest and Hibernate Moon
 
 

 

She’s bringing the Solstice / Christmas energy to a fruition:
Have you connected with Traditions (CAP) – despite external restrictions – with Family, Children, and Inner Divine Child (CAN)?
What are the feelings this Solstice & Christmas season has evoked?

 

She’s a touchy-feely one, in soft & gentle CANCER (the Moon’s abode) – while the SUN is in rock-solid wintry CAP.

  • How do you quite personally feel – in this oh-so-hard & cold & serious world that 2020 has turned into???

  • Who’s your Tribe? Where do you feel you belong? 

  • How do you relate to Children and Elders (what a theme in 2020!)?

  • How do you compassionately take care of needs of self and others (CAN) while also being mature, realistic, clear, consistent and firm about where you stand, and perhaps what your limits and boundaries are (CAP)?

  • Resting and hibernating after the oh-so-active pre- and Holiday season (SAG into early CAP) is what Nature Medicine prescribes.
    Be kind and compassionate (CAN) with yourself when it comes to house-holding with your wintry energy (CAP), and make sure you get fresh oxygen and inspiration from Nature.



    On the Rocks and by the Oaks – Wintry Walk Dec 28 – photo by moi

 

She’s the 13th and last Full Moon of 2020 – in motherly & caring CANCER.
Carrying so many themes that the year has gone pregnant with, and are being birthed into the New.

 

She’s also the second CAN – CAP Full Moon this year (the first one was the Lunar Eclipse on Jan 10 (seems like ages ago) which was catalyzing the epochal SATURN – PLUTO alignment in CAP pointing to the Expiry of the Old Empire & Transformation of the Old Regime… revealing its power & control shadow (JUPITER – PLUTO triple contact in CAP) – showing us where we can give power and authority away, and where change needs to happen.

 

It really feels like we’re in a massive Birthing Process from an old era to a new one.
2020 has been such a transition year.
I bet you feel it all strongly coming up again, with this end-of-2020 Full Moon in Lunar CANCER – hard-core CAP.

 

The now building Full MOON in CANCER – CAP will be exact on Dec 29, 2020 at 7:28 pm PST.
What a ‘wrap’ for 2020!


What a polarity of the MOON in her natural CANCER abode, with SO much SAG – CAP – AQ gravitation on ‘the other side’ of the equation / and of the Earth! See below in the Birth-ing chart.

 

 

What does this FULL MOON evoke?

SO much is coming to Fullness, Fruition, and Harvest that is ripe for birthing, as well as release now!
SO much birthing out of the Old Matrix, and into the New and Unknown World.

 

The Full Moon not far from the North Node in GEM (reverberating the last Full Moon – a Lunar Eclipse in GEM – SAG on Nov 30, and the CAN – CAP Full Moon / PLE on Jan 10) is inviting us to take a Moon Bath in beneficial CANCER – GEMINI energy, of Curiosity, Playfulness, Lightness, Dialogue, Learning, Gentleness, Care, Compassion, Belonging, Home, Family, Tribe, Mother Goddess energy.

– while detoxing / releasing the old and done-with shadow of SAG – CAP, and leading over to AQ gravitation (what a gravitation of VENUS / South Node, SUN, MERCURY, PLUTO, SATURN, JUPITER):

The Old Empire Expires, crumbles and collapses, while a new Era for our Humanity emerges.


Old narratives, and propaganda, and the limiting beliefs are being seen now
(SAG SN – see Total Solar Eclipse on Dec 14).
Even though, we might be still magnetized to those ‘stories’
(VENUS with the SAG SN) it’s a love affair going nowhere, if not into the ‘black hole’.
The common denominators are fear, control, and scare-city, perpetuated by top-down structures of subordination and authority / power-over operating systems that have
shown enough evidence of their shadow now (SATURN – JUPITER – PLUTO in CAP – crescendo in 2020).
If we’re still giving them SO much attention (just check out what’s going on in the media…) we’re feeding the energy of old and told, and going in co-dependent circles.
We can be more empowered than that.

 

The JUPITER – SATURN alignment at 1º AQ on Winter SoUlstice Dec 21 – just a week ago – has planted the seed for a new, lighter, more transparent, more connected world & Humanity – from our common ground UP, and in alignment with Natural Law.

The ‘cure-all prescription’ for a multi-layered crisis that – in top-down ‘Old Empire’ style – the WEF prescribes with the catchy term ‘Great Reset’ that I’m sure you’ve heard about is merely a pseudo Aquarian ‘model’ that Humanity hopefully doesn’t buy into.
Tip: Talk and share freely with other humans, in common sense.

AQ is about distribution, contribution, and co-creation in synergy and equality (think: circle, beyond CAP hierarchy / pyramid).
How do you show up in this?

 

BALANCE is a key theme for the Full Moon polarity of SUN & MOON.

The Full Moon is the ‘Mother of Oppositions’, calling for Balance & Integration in Right Relationship.

Such a heavy gravitation of many other Planetary Archetypes in SAG – CAP – AQ – see Birth-ing chart below.

Crystal activated Voyager card XVII – Star, showing Kuan Yin, Chinese Goddess of Compassion – photo and crystal activation by Melanie

The CANCER Goddess / Mother / Midwife MOON holds space & Balance for it all to transform and come through.

Kuan Yin the Goddess of Compassion for Humanity and other Lunar Goddesses are here for / in us.

Kuan Yin came up twice via the Voyager Tarot card The Star, in two Astro Alchemy sessions for a mom and her daughter last week!

She’s a beautiful synergy of the CANCER Full Moon and JUPITER & SATURN now in AQ – having initiated a New Era for Our Shared Humanity, with their conjunction on Winter Solstice.

May compassionate Goddess energy support us in emerging from the 2020 cocoon, and coming through the cosmic birth canal out of a very dark year –
To see the Light of Life & Love – together in our shared Humanity!

 

Beautifully reflected also in the Transformation Card The Moon and its message. The Transformation Cards are a precious gift by my friend Diana Varisco to Humanity.

 

 

The FULL MOON will be exact on Dec 29 at 7:28 pm PST.

Take a look at the 

CANCER – CAPRICORN Full Moon Birthing Chart 

 

 

The Full MOON not far from the North Node in GEM – you might have seen her high in the Ecliptic, sailing past Orion and connecting with bright Sirius – brings bright illuminating, and liberating energy.

And reflects back to the Total Solar ‘Seed’ Eclipse in CAN next to Sirius on July 2, 2019 (with the Lunar Nodes then in CAP – CAN): Initiation into Liberation.

Let’s link to this energy – esp. relevant for the North American Cancerian countries U.S.A. and Canada with their ‘birthdays’ on July 1 / 4.
WE are the People.
What’s the vision of freedom-in-synergy (AQ) you see and co-create now, together with others (perhaps past focusing so much on the ‘Old Empire’ and its shadow / expiry phase)?

 

The exact SoLunar polarity from Earth perspective is calling for Balance & Integration.

BALANCE of what?

The CAP – CAN axis is about safety and security issues.
About tending to feelings and needs
(CAN) while going for voluntary simplicity, working with resources in a timely manner, and showing up maturely, in authority, and with our best (CAP).

 

How can we create a balanced relationship between these apparently opposing orientations?

  • CANCER
    Gentleness, compassion, nurturing our own and others’ needs, family, tribe, finding belonging, going with rhythms and cycles, protecting Nature and our loved and little ones with loving care.

  • CAP
    Being mature and in integrity, living in leadership / leading by example (not giving authority and responsibility away), working with priorities, resiliently, respectfully, using time and resources well.
 
I felt called to create a little contrast table of CANCER and CAP / AQ for you, since it’s so much up with the Full MOON.
Of course there’d be so much more to it, but hopefully a starter kit to tune into and reconcile the polarities.
 

 

The two sides of the equation don’t have to be a dilemma but can synergistically cooperate and integrate.

The SUN in CAP asks us to take responsibility for our part in humanity whose greedy power (PLUTO) and control / authority structures have been exploiting and abusing Mother Earth (shadow of CAP – where SATURN’s activation until Dec 16 has shown ample evidence) and her human, animal, and plant Beings that need protection and care (CANCER).


To have healthy boundaries, disengage from being sucked into the shadow wherever we can, and to Be the Change, the Ones (of the more and more) who care, and the Ones we’ve been waiting for and looking up to (CAP).
What matters is consistency and leading by example, rather than judging and blaming. Makes us feel better and more empowered too…

‘Just’ resisting and blaming external authority and power structures (SATURN now post, and PLUTO still in CAP) is not the way forward. It still feeds their energy field by giving them attention, acknowledges them energetically, and basically responds / reacts in an adolescent manner.

 

How about claiming self-authority, and ‘outgrowing’ old modes, by co-building new and better, more compassionate and humane structures that take care of needs more directly and on an equal level?
Rather than the old fossilized top-down institutionalized world that threatens to turn from Plutocracy (governance of the wealthy) to Technocracy (governance of technology – based on a materialistic worldview)?!

Let’s not allow technology to influence / claim our biology!

Let’s reclaim our innate, inalienable, uncommodify-able Human Nature, and co-create from our common ground up, as Nature does!

CHIRON stationary in ARIES – direct again since Dec 15 – in T-Square with the Full Moon axis

Calling us to show up authentically, for / as ourselves, for Life, vitality, freshness, newness, and take baby steps in the Now.

To heal early wounds, survival wounds, the wounds of the seed of war (separation – polarization – othering – attacking ‘the other’…) and even of the ‘war medicine’ (war on the invader…).

The Medicine of being present, courageous, an absolute beginner, and perhaps starting fresh – in the New Era that has just begun.

Since CHIRON is on the apex of the T-square with the Full Moon axis that’s where the outlet of the tension wants to be:
What IS the New Medicine – for / in YOU?

 

MARS in its very last phase in ARIES

…now for 1/2 year already, since June 27, incl its retro phase Sept 9 – Nov 13 – what a Warrior activation and showing what old-style warfare does.
Rolling out the ARIES era until Jan 6…

When it enters TAURUS –
Hardly settling though, since it’ll hook up with ‘Wild Card’ / Revolutionary / Luminary / Awakener URANUS and organically-wild LILITH both now in TAU, and will also square SATURN & JUPITER (now freshly in AQ – ruled by URANUS) – all between Jan 13 and 29!

Woohoo – big time calling out of BS. Old habitual / all-too established modes get shaken up and woken up.
Smells like a breath of fresh AIR of Liberation to me.

MARS in TAURUS blog post to follow. Stay tuned.

 

URANUS and LILITH in TAURUS 

Their union (once in a decade) was on Dec 23. 
MARS will join & extra energize them in Jan. 
All about embodying Freedom, as Nature intends.

More to come about this wake-up / shake-up energy in the MARS in TAU article. 
I’m sure you already sense it.

 

All-in-all:
A super charged Full Moon energy reminding us to be be compassionate, caring, true to ourselves, attuning to our body and tending to our needs, healing wounds by facing what-IS, and showing up for ourselves and for life.

 

 

How can the Full Moon that highlights the CANCER – CAP axis affect and inspire us personally?

 

  • Where / in what ways can you receive nurturing, satisfaction, and reward from being creative and resourceful and through working with what’s already available to you (CAP), rather than buying from / into the system that makes it convenient to consume (and promises status a la CAP) – but at what price?! 
    Here’s to ‘grass roots’ gardening, cooking, and to (re-?)learning / applying traditional home / building / repair skills!
    Let’s consume less.
    And free up time to play & create more!

 

  • Where-else can you respond to what’s sold to you by: “Thank you, I (already) got this.”, and be content with less?
    A la Refuse – Reuse – Repurpose – Recycle
    Applies to SO much these days.

 

  • Which wasteful (time, energy, resources) habits can you get out of, and establish higher vibrational ones that are more deeply satisfying?

 

  • How can you take more time doing what you’re best at?

 

  • Creative play & fun (CAN) beats the heavy CAP vibes of ‘no time for that’…
    Maybe ‘even’ shifting the conditioned CAP paradigm to:
    Play first, work later.

    Has been working great for me these days / months. I just need to remind myself more often too.
    Play puts me in an inspired and relaxed work mode, plus I get to see that ‘work’ and clients come to me not because I work so hard but because they love me and love what I offer, and how it affects them. And everything works so much more smoothly – and playfully – with resonance and connection.

 

 

If your Birthday is end of Dec, end of June, end of March or end of Sept…
Or your MOON, AC, or Planets are esp. between 5 – 10º CAN, CAP, yet also ARIES or LIBRA, this Full Moon is BIG for you!

And you probably feel it…
She likely catalyzes other ‘undercurrents’.

If you wonder… or feel clearly called to check in you’re most welcome to come to an Astro Alchemy session.
Contact me by Dec 31 and you’re IN at December Treat Time (offer below).

 

 

Here are some Questions to inquire, or do a Ceremony around: 

  • How can your needs be met, and your life be sustainable, in the context of the structures you are living in?
  • Do you need to make foundational changes? In the areas of life relating to (esp.) CAP / (yet also) CANCER in your chart (Houses)?
  • Do you need to downsize, to drop excess ‘weight’ (incl the weight of responsibility to manage what you got), to make life simpler, and have all that you need – plus more time?!
  • Is the structure / system you’ve been in changing?
  • How can you be resourceful in a way that nurtures you, and puts you at ease?
  • Honour yourself for already being in the process.

 

CANCER – CAPRICORN is the axis of Family / Tribe and Elders / Leaders.
Additional questions / inspiration for those themes:

  • How can important themes round home, family, belonging, safety, emotional needs, and building of sustaining structures, responsibly working with time and resources, self-sustainability, and ‘s-aging well’ be reconciled?
  • In a time where nuclear and extended families in the traditional sense seem to lose their cohesiveness (or will there be a renaissance?) – what’s your world of home and family transforming into?
  • Where and what is your family and home, in essence?
  • Where does your Soul feel at home? Where is your tribe?
  • Who are the Elders and leaders you turn to for guidance? Who are your Spirit Elders?
  • Your inner Elder might be waiting to connect with you.

 

The Full Moon & PLUTO the Transformer

PLUTO (New Horizons Mission 2015)

For a good (RE)birthing process, we need to work with PLUTO.

PLUTO is the main Archetype still remaining in CAP for a while (until 2023), now polarized by the Full MOON and activated by the seasonal transits of MERCURY, the SUN, and VENUS.

A good wintry vibe to tune in & transform with.

We’re invited to shift out of old linear & limiting consciousness and density (PLUTO in CAP) into freer, lighter ways of Being (AQ).
I bet you feel the lift – as many of us – since JUPITER & SATURN moved into AQ and united there.

On deep levels, the limited physical reality of our experience seems so solid (CAP) yet is an illusion / ‘matrix’ if you will.


Living from Soul Self / Essence
(PLUTO in CAP) transforms old residual burdens, Karma, judgment and limitations, and shows:

All Life is Sacred.
The Spiritual and the Material are ONE.

 

Speaking of PLUTO in CAP:
MERCURY, the SUN, and VENUS will pass PLUTO.


Their Archetypes move into and through the CAP Shadow, to be transformed and regenerated.
Aligned with the next New Moon and Full Moon for the SUN and VENUS.

Shiva Nataraj – the Dancing Shiva – helping with the Shadow Dance that transforms

 

  • MERCURY in CAP will pass PLUTO on Jan 4.

  • The SUN in CAP will pass PLUTO on Jan 14 – right after the CAP New Moon on Jan 12 / 13.

  • VENUS in CAP will pass PLUTO on Jan 28 – day of the LEO – AQ Full Moon.


MERCURY
From judgmental thinking & communicating to calm & wise counsel.
What’s deeper than the mind?!  

The SUN
From lack of energy and depression to pacing ourselves, going with natural cycles, and consistently restoring energy from within.

VENUS
From attraction to status and power to the Power of Love.

 

Soooo, let’s not just wonder what happens ‘out there’ and externalize but do our own Shadow Work / Soul Work in this.
SOOO worth it (PLUTO in CAP likes that too).

 

Wishing you from my Heart a soulful and regenerative Full Moon & PLUTO Transformation!

Melanie

ASTRO CONSULTATIONS 

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

12 Days of Christmas & the Zodiac?!

23 Dec

Merry Christmas, dear Fellow Stargazers!

 

Everyone knows the epic carol 12 Days of Christmas – and you might have wondered about the hidden, encoded meaning of the ‘gifts’?!
Check out the Wiki article, and maybe you’re inclined to do more research?

The 12 Days go from DEC 25 / 26 Christmas Day / St. Stephen until JAN 6 / Epiphany.
Some say they start from Christmas night DEC 25 / 26, and each ‘Day’ starts with the eve / night leading into it.

Guess why I’m writing about them?
Because there’s a ZODIAC Connection with the 12 Days!

Two directions can be taken, forward or backward in the Zodiac, both complementary.
The first Day of Christmas, DEC 25 / 26 is the Day of ARIES, and / or the Day of PISCES.

Would you like to tune in, follow the 12 Zodiac Days, and receive ‘customized gifts’ from those energies?

DEC 25 / 26:

DEC 26 / 27:

DEC 27 / 28:
GEMINI / CAPRICORN

DEC 28 / 29:

– and then it ‘flips’ on New Year’s, as we’re dancing on the VIR-LI-VIR cusp – Perfect Alignment!

Dec 31 / JAN 1:
LIBRA / VIRGO

JAN 1 / 2:
SCORPIO / LEO

JAN 2 / 3:
SAGITTARIUS / CANCER

JAN 3 / 4:

Let’s invite synchronistic messages, and see how the ZODIAC themes show up for us,

Much Love to you, at Christmas & ‘between the Years’, in Timeliness & Timelessness!

JUPITER unites with SATURN at 1º AQ on Winter SoUlstice (Dec 21) – A New Era for Our Shared Humanity

21 Dec

Cosmic Greetings, dear Astro Friends & Co-Travelers on Planet Earth!

Welcome to the Special ASTRO~News Issue for Winter SoUlstice 2020, with the epic JUPITER-SATURN Activation at 1º AQ –
initiating a New Era for Our Shared Humanity!

What a wrap for this epic year 2020!
And un-wrap of the New go come!

So many shifts and lifts these days.
We come out of the cocoon, and enter a new phase of our human evolution. 

 

Woohoo – here’s an epic (a la JUPITER) article dedicated to various aspects of the cosmic context.

And it deserves a systematic (AQ)

Overview of what you find below:

  • 2021 beyond 2020

  • JUPITER’s Move over the ‘Prometheus Point’
     
  • Welcome to the AQ Realms and Dimensions!

  • JUPITER Unites with SATURN at 1º AQ – A New Era for Our Shared Humanity

  • Are we entering the Age of Aquarius?

  • The JUPITER – SATURN Alignment chart

  • What’s with the 20-Year JUPITER – SATURN Cycle?

  • Sabian Symbol for the JUPITER – SATURN Alignment on Dec 21, 2020

  • SOOO JUPITER in AQ…!

  • JUPITER’s Fast Move through AQ & Trying on PISCES (May 13 – July 28) – and the 0-1-2 Tarot Cards(!)

  • Main Transits of / to / during JUPITER in AQ (Dec 19, 2020 – May 13 & July 28 – Dec 28, 2021)

  • JUPITER & SATURN in AQ Online Astro EmBodiment on Dec 22

  • JUPITER in AQ – Historically, and Yours

  • JUPITER’s (and SATURN’s) Transit in AQ in Your Chart & Life…

 

Prometheus, mythological Archetype of URANUS, the Ruler of AQ, capturing the Fire of the Gods for Humanity

Big & important news – which you probably already anticipate:

JUPITER just moved over the ‘Prometheus Point’ cusp from CAP to AQ on Dec 19, to magnify the Zodiac energy of the ‘Water’ / Electromagnetic Energy Bearer & Light Bringer for almost a year (until Dec 28, 2020 – with a PISCEAN intermezzo May 13 – July 28).

What does that bring?

 

Well, as per JUPITER (and other V.I.P.’s – very important Planets – of 2021), a LOT.  

Upfront, I dare to prognosticate:

2021 beyond 2020 will see lots of liberating shifts.

 

Sisyphus – rolling up the boulder – only to have it fall back down to the realm of Hades / Pluto again

2020 Review for Perspective:

Energetically, so much heaviness has been a signature of the Ueber CAP Year 2020, via the conglomerate of the Titans JUPITER-SATURN-PLUTO dragging along…

And showing how slow and almost immovable (CAP shadows – if humans try to move mountains or face an immovable obstacle) things can get in ‘3-D’ / ‘4-D’ (including Time – a CAP theme – as a dimension).

Pushing up, falling back, Sisyphus like.
Interesting symbolism that the boulder fell back into the realm of Hades / Pluto, just when Sisyphus had neared the top. Maybe showing that deeper / core work (PLUTO) is needed that would be a paradigm shift of the ‘heavy lifting’… 
When we’re in our core Power and do the Soul Work (PLUTO in CAP) things aren’t heavy and hard – even when challenging.

Themes of Power (PLUTO) and Authority (SATURN) have become huuuuge (JUPITER) – and mostly experienced / projected (no wonder!) externally / societally / politically.
Yet, we’ve been called to cultivate them within.

 

CAP is SATURN’s domain – the most dense and ‘unmoving’ Earth sign, showing what comes up when being in incarnated form.

Featuring serious themes of integrity, results & quality & efficiency oriented, laws – human and natural, causation as in: cause-effect, and responsibility / accountability, long term effects, maturity, aging, elders…

So many challenges (SATURN – JUPITER) in all those regards in this epic passing year.
But also tests / feedback / reality checks, in society and in us personally.

And so much (JUPITER) shadow (PLUTO) of and in our engagement with the Old Empire (CAP) has been revealed.
Back to the Sisyphus theme…

  • Where are you at with all of this?
  • How has 2020 shaped, matured, and empowered you?
  • Where are you at with judgment / boundaries / disengagement?
  • What’s with resilience and resourcefulness?
  • How has 2020 brought out your Best?
  • How have you worked with the Time and Energies optimally, and for the Highest Good?
    That’s what I felt called to offer as the Motto for JUPITER in CAP.

Inventory / year-end / review writing would be a great project.
And asking (incl oneself) good questions is supported by the North Node now in GEM.

 

It really IS rare to see so many significant alignments of slow moving(!) Planets all in one – and the most dense – sign (CAP), and all in one year.
JUPITER has been the magnifyer / amplifyer.

And did I mention?
JUPITER is trad. ‘in Fall’ in CAP (uhhh, Sisyphus again?) – i.o.w. the least favourable Zodiac energy for otherwise perspective and inspiration bringing Archetype (how can you, with a boulder in front of you?).

What’s amplified (JUPITER) is the mountain of work – if you see it that way.
But also to see how established structures (CAP) work, esp. re: authority (SATURN) and power (PLUTO), how both can corrupt (PLUTO), and what’s ripe to change about this.
How can / did we make the Best out of the situation, and did the challenges bring out out Best?
Hopefully not more judgment, bitterness, coldness, separation… 

 

And what do you SEE now, as the 2020 phase has ended and is integrating?
JUPITER at the end of CAP is like making it to the top of the mountain of experience (of ‘2020’ if you will – which stands for so much).

Where there’s AIR and Freedom.
Esp. after passing SATURN – more about this below.

Clearly, JUPITER ‘likes’ AQ better than CAP.
But hey – so rewarding to having ‘made it through’ what’s ironically called ‘2020’.

JUPITER crossing over the ‘Prometheus Point’ into AQ – where the hard-earned experiences a la Prometheus are not ‘just’ used for our own accomplishment and satisfaction but the Light from the mountain top (which usually the ‘Olympians’ aka Elite Gods guard) is brought to Humanity, contributed, distributed, shared – Generosity in / for Freedom a la JUPITER in AQ, to be further shared – torches igniting each other in the chain of Humanity.
With liberating effects in the energy grid that links us as equals.

B.t.w., Prometheus means Foresight. 
Very apropos JUPITER in visionary & future oriented AQ.

 

Prometheus unbound & surrounded by the Ring of the Zodiac – at the Rockefeller Ctre, NYC – interestingly placed in another ‘Olympian’ realm…

 

Well, I should say, according to mythology, the ‘Olympians’ kept an eye on Prometheus and weren’t happy about his act – ‘stealing’ the Fire that used to be reserved for them and not available for ‘mere mortals’.

Hence Prometheus was punished by being chained on a rock, and tortured by Zeus’s (hmmm, that’d be JUPITER) totem, the Eagle picking every day on Prometheus’s liver (growth organ) – how abhorringly cruel! to set a deterring example to humans – while resilient Prometheus grew it back overnight.

Eventually, Prometheus was liberated / unbound via Wounded Healer & Centaur CHIRON who had a similar journey as Prometheus yet with contrasting experiences as in: Being an outsider, yet rather introverted & shamanic rather than a freedom fighter / revolutionary. Rather than challenging the Gods they adopted him into their realm to mentor heroes. When he was incurably wounded by a poisoned arrow Hercules accidentally shot into CHIRON’s direction he went into a crisis the resolution of which led him to ask the Gods for ‘amnesty for Prometheus’ whom he acknowledged as an equal. It had to be granted, and Prometheus unbound.

 

A paradigm shift with liberating & revolutionary consequences:
Freedom and Healing is IN You. 
You don’t need ‘Gods’ in their hierarchical entitlement to bestow them to you.

 

JUPITER’s Move over the ‘Prometheus Point’

Dec 19 was the Day:
JUPITER made its yearly shift from one Zodiac energy to the next.

Jupiter and Earth – a matter of Perspective. Photo: Hubble Space Telescope (NASA)

JUPITER in AQ – after in CAP is about Contribution of our Best, and Distribution / Sharing in Humanity.

 

In contrast / flashback: JUPITER in CAP

JUPITER is is traditionally ‘in Fall’ (most challenged) in CAP. 
Without going into black-and-white / good-and-bad polarities / judgment (which in itself could be one of the issues of JUPITER in CAP, ha-ha), suffice to say, CAP isn’t per se a fun energy, rather hard working, pragmatic, persevering, and / or: Keeping things simple – so that there’s less to take on and worry about.

Reminds me of ZEN – a JUPITER-in-CAP Way of Being, if you will. 
Before, during, and after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.
Or if you will
(cynicism is one of JUPITER-in-CAP’s ways of comic relief):
Before, during, and after lock-down, chop wood and carry water.

A few friends of mine actually used the dire scenario pro-actively to go fully into retreat mode.


In a sense, Humanity has been in 12th House mode
(trad. associated with monasteries, prisons, hospitals, ‘asylums’, altered states, preparation / cocoon mode of potentiality before manifestation)
So yes, a matter of perspective – if you could in 2020 – easier in hindsight.

 

Let’s honour the JUPITER in CAP year while the transition happens!
Which also changes perspective, and raises gratitude.

Overall, hope you can attest:
There have been many occasions to appreciate the blessings and gifts
(even and esp. the ones in disguise – seen with higher JUPITERian perspective)!

 

Call of the Mountain – Kulshan on the Olympic(!) Peninsula Photo by moi

 

Welcome to the AQ Realms and Dimensions!

A breath of fresh AIR!
Light and perspective on the ‘mountain top’ and beyond, post the CAP density & immensity.

Noticing the shift & lift?

Post pushing and persevering – discovering (JUPITER) that there are more other people out there who share the same spirit.
Things go easier in community of like- and light-spirited people. Better together!
JUPITER in AQ helps strengthen the networks in Humanity, as we contribute, distribute, share, and connect generously in the Human web.

And post old limiting beliefs (JUPITER) that life has to be hard, it’s a cold world out there (CAP), and that only authorities up there can save us (the fish-tailed CAP Goat).

We’re moving out of the PISCES Age now gradually (which has been also characterized by the co-dependent triad of victim – perpetrator – saviour – check out how you might be still ‘bound’ by it).

 

JUPITER in AQ – in square with stationary URANUS (the Archetype of Prometheus) and in sextile with CHIRON in ARIES – all happening in January 2021, with MARS also involved in the dynamic (see JUPITER Transits below) – may enact the Zeus – Prometheus – Chiron mythology told above in real human life. 
Big potential for liberating paradigm shifts.

 

JUPITER Unites with SATURN at 1º AQ on Winter Solstice – A New Era for Our Shared Humanity 

Here’s a cool astronomical illustration of JUPITER approaching and passing SATURN – ha, it doesn’t stop with SATURN (even though it appears like that quite often with the ‘last frontier’ Planet)
 
JUPITER will lead on, from Winter Solstice on!
 
 
And yes, this super special conjunction is a great event, even though apparently their conjunction is only called ‘The Great Conjunction’ when it’s a triple one which was the case apparently in the year -6 BC, then in PISCES, aka Star of Bethlehem! 
But maybe that definition changed, and fair enough:
 
Since both Planets align so close this time that they appear ‘like one star’ it’s for sure a Great Conjunction. 
At Winter Solstice.
At 1
º AQ
 
3 super special factors – what a heavenly sign!
All about Light Returning – in / as our Shared Humanity.
 
I was asked – and you may wonder too:
“I just heard that this Winter Solstice is supposed to be some end and new start of an 800 year cycle. Sounds quite significant!”
My response:
“Well – it’s a rare super close alignment of JUPITER – SATURN not this close in 800 years indeed. 
I wouldn’t say they start an ‘800 year cycle’ though, for one since at the start of AQ we don’t want to be limited by space or time. Moving beyond the old CAP realms of being bound by history and our concepts of time. But hey, all these ways of seeing the ‘Great Conjunction’ are in true blue AQ mode valid and cross-pollinating, contributing to a shift in consciousness.

So let’s say / I call it:
A New Era for Our Shared Humanity! 
 
 
And of course, I’ve been also asked by clients and friends:

Are we entering the Age of Aquarius?

I’d say, in a sense yes, the seed is being planted, with a heavenly event like this.
The Great (triple) Conjunction -6 BC in PISCES heralded the Age of PISCES. 
 

Yet, no need to take things too literally in a limiting way, and look at the cosmic context, and at the contrasting themes of PISCES / NEPTUNE vs AQ / URANUS, and what all this might point to, re: PISCES to AQ Age Transition:

  • PLUTO is still in CAP, and will only enter AQ in 2023 / 24.
  • NEPTUNE is in its own sign of PISCES until 2026, and will be even joined by JUPITER there in 2022.
  • The Constellations AQ and PI are very much overlapping. And so is our human experience of the collective eras we’re in.

 

NEPTUNE Rules PISCES
Painting by Johfra Bosschart

PISCES is per se very collectively oriented, while AQ is more individualistic / group consciousness and co-creatively oriented.

While PISCES is ruled by NEPTUNE which connects and binds but also can put us into a collective trance, rules dreams, altered states, and addictions, AQ is ruled by URANUS – Prometheus the Awakener.

 

While it looks like ‘the collective’ of humanity might be still for a while in PISCEAN collective / dream state (and adhering to victim – perpetrator – saviour models) while some – and ever more – ‘first responders’ come out of the ‘collective cocoon’, become aware and awake, and, like Prometheus take the enlightening torch and share the light with others.

URANUS Rules AQUARIUS
– painting by Johfra Bosschart Just as the 7 (Chakra?) blossoms are opening, we’re all equally growing toward the Light and infused by cosmic energy / Prana / Life Force.

If you feel like an outsider in contrast to ‘consensus reality’ / ‘mass consciousness’ and looking for like-spirited peers, chances are you’re in the Promethean realm. 

The trend is growing, and NEPTUNian Waves lead to Waves of Awakening.

 

 

The JUPITER – SATURN Alignment chart

Here’s the ‘birth chart’ for the JUPITER – SATURN alignment at 1º AQ– exact at 10:21 am PST.
The beginning of a New Era.

From the Victoria perspective, JUPITER & SATURN are rising – up in the South-East.
The AC is also AQ, plus SUN / MERCURY both freshly in CAP (the alignment happens just 8 hrs after Winter Solstice!) in the 11th (AQ related) House.

All this smells strongly like new Community & Humanity Spirit a-rising.


The MOON is about to enter ARIES (exact at 2:32 pm PST), and approaching CHIRON for their monthly union. 
New Medicine of authenticity is showing up & we’re showing up with it.


LILITH is about to meet URANUS retro on Dec 23 (every 10 years) in TAU. 
Being Free & Thriving as our intrinsic, unconditioned, ‘Wild’ Nature, our senses and as Nature herself always ARE.
A Revolution / Liberation of (un?)Common Sense, down-to-Earth Values, Body Wisdom, and Free-Spiritedness 

 

What’s with the 20-Year JUPITER – SATURN Cycle?

Back to linear timeline mode:
JUPITER & SATURN have a 20-year cycle together (every 20 years JUPITER catches up with and passes SATURN).
A socio-political-economic cycle ends and a new one starts with their alignment.

At the beginning of the cycle, JUPITER leads (after passing SATURN) in the Zodiac – until technically half-way through the cycle = after 10 years, when JUPITER opposes SATURN, and more and more SATURN is ‘ahead’, and JUPITER ‘behind’ until, well, the connection and passing point. 

A lot could be explored around this cycle, it’s effects on society, economy, politics, culture.

For the purpose of this article, I’d just say, simplistically:
The first part (JUPITER leading) is the expansive ‘in-breath’.
The second part (SATURN leading) is the contractive ‘out-breath’.

And at the very end of the passing cycle with not just contractive SATURN in its own sign CAP but also PLUTO and JUPITER – until the very end of CAP before passing SATURN, we’ve seen serious contractions in soooo many ways. 
May the tide turn!
JUPITER – take the lead and open up S~P~A~C~E!

 

Also cool for context (SATURN) and perspective (JUPITER):

Review of recent previous JUPITER – SATURN cycles and patterns between them

The last time they aligned on May 28, 2000 at 23º TAU.

Since then, we’ve seen a very TAUREAN development in economy (ruled by TAU), society, and politics.
Well, both society and politics have been dominated by economy and its influencers / lobbyists. 

Some TAUREAN phenomena since then:

  • Consumer Capitalism boost at the detriment of Mother Earth
  • Conservative governments dominated
  • Real estate market skyrocketed but also had huge fluctuations and volatility, see: housing market crisis of 2008 
  • Building / real estate boom – living in big cities became unaffordable for most people who’re not investors / owners
  • Green Revolution in the making, esp since URANUS entered TAU – 2019 – trend towards healthier, organic food (for those who can afford it) and gardening
  • Monetary roller-coasters, and cryptocurrency experimentation (leading up to URANUS in TAU since 2018/19)
  • Economic disruption, with URANUS in TAU esp. 2020

 

The Sabian Symbol for the last alignment says:

TAURUS 23°
“A JEWELRY SHOP FILLED WITH VALUABLE GEMS.

KEYNOTE: The social confirmation of natural excellence.

Two elements should be distinguished in this symbolic picture: the gems that result from natural processes, often induced by extreme volcanic heat and pressure, and the finished products of refined craftsmen. Both the gems themselves and the artistry are highly prized and bring prestige to the owner of the jewels. The symbol applies to any product in which culturally acquired skill has embellished or transformed the end results of a lengthy and demanding natural process.

This is the third stage of the eleventh five-fold sequence of phases. At this stage we are concerned with the social process which brings about a CERTIFICATION OF PERSONAL WORTH.”

On a societal and lower level this symbol for the end of TAU realm with VIRGO undertone points also to the attachment of personal worth with skills, accomplishment, and: acquisition and possession – great for a production / ‘growth’ oriented economy.

 

The previous cycle started on July 24, 1981 at 5º LIBRA.
…which is double LIBRA – Right Relationship, Harmony, Peace.
PLUTO was also still in LIBRA, until 1984, and SATURN aligned with PLUTO in Oct 1982 (the cycle since ended in Jan 2020!).
Human Relationships were redefined in the 1980’s and spiritual dimensions included.

Beautiful Sabian Symbol about a spiritual relationship which I modified gender balanced (LIBRA):

LIBRA 5°
“A WO/MAN REVEALING TO  STUDENTS THE FOUNDATION OF AN INNER KNOWLEDGE UPON WHICH A “NEW WORLD” COULD BE BUILT.

KEYNOTE: The necessity for the youthful spirits to learn from a Teacher who through their long experience has been able to reach solid and illuminating truths, i.e. seed ideas.

An old saying is just as valid today as ever: When the student is ready, the Master appears. But s/he may appear in many disguises. What matters is not the Master, but the Mastery s/he “re-veals.” It is veiled in the person. It has to be contacted through the person, rather than in the person. Devotion to a guru may be the way, but sooner or later it should be transmuted into reverence: the truth within the disciple saluting in true humility the truth in the Teacher.

This is the last stage of the thirty-seventh five-fold sequence and it marks the culmination of the four preceding stages. What is evoked by the symbol is the essential, withal rather mysterious, process of TRANSMISSION.
What is transmitted, if the situation is really adequate and understood (at least tentatively) by all participants, is not merely knowledge. It is actually “being-ness.”


Before that, JUPITER & SATURN aligned on Feb 19, 1961 at 25º CAP.
Only 6 degrees away from the 2020 alignment!

The Sabian Symbol says – and links to the 23° TAU degree from 2000:

Carpet Store in Morocco – historical (last millennium) photo by moi

CAPRICORN 25°
“A STORE FILLED WITH PRECIOUS ORIENTAL RUGS.

KEYNOTE: The use of cultural and artistic processes as means to enhance personal comfort and appreciation.

Corning after the preceding symbol this one brings us back to the material, yet aesthetic, aspect of the benefits a society can bring its members. A “rug” always implied to some extent something on which a person stands or sits. It is a foundation for cultural “under-standing,” and as such it can have a magical or sacred meaning, as in the case of prayer rugs.
The “woman in a convent” (CAP 24°) probably knows only the bare floor, because her goal is one of transcendence, of surrendering comfort as well as cultural patterns.
But to the social elite, or even to the oriental devotee praying to his god, society offers the relative comfort of beautiful rugs so he may meet the universe, not merely in terms of the support the natural soil gives, but protected by and securely established on the mental-spiritual as well as manual achievements of those who keep the cultural symbols alive.

This is the last symbol in the fifty-ninth five-fold sequence. It shows the beautiful products of dedicated and inspired group performance at the level of tradition. It emphasizes the value of RELIANCE ON TRADITION.

 

In a way, the longer 60-year cycle initiated in 1961 is also coming to a close now – as the alignment of JUPITER & SATURN ‘leaps over’ into AQ.

The 60-year cycle also relates to 2 SATURN Returns (29-years each).
And to the Chinese 12 Animal- and 5-Element cycle which comes full circle after 60 years – in early 1961, as in the 2020-to-2021 transition were the Years of Yang Metal Rat to Yin Metal Ox.


From CAP oriented History & Tradition (with all its pros and cons) to AQ future oriented Co-Creation.

Here’s a recent blog post dedicated to the CAP Alignments of JUPITER and SATURN in 1901 & 1961.

 

Interesting how the last JUPITER – SATURN cycles (2000 – 1981 – 1961) alternate between EARTH – AIR – EARTH Elements. 

The ones starting 1961 and 2000 were in almost exact EARTH Trine with each other: 25° CAP (1961) – 23º TAU (2000).

And the one starting in 1981 is in almost exact AIR Trine with the one starting – tomorrow: 5° LIBRA (1981) – 1° AQ (2020).

Again confirming – we’re moving out of the world of matter / a materialistic / hierarchical value system to a lighter and inter-linked world.
We the People. Our Humanity matters, says SATURN freshly in AQ (Dec 16, 2020 – March 7, 2023)

JUPITER uniting with and passing SATURN shows the opportunities that this entails, and how it can inspire our Co-Creation.

 

Let’s check out the 

Sabian Symbol for the JUPITER – SATURN Alignment on Dec 21, 2020

San Juan Capistrano Mission CA (Wiki Image)

 

AQUARIUS 1°
“AN OLD ADOBE MISSION IN CALIFORNIA.

KEYNOTE: The power inherent in all great human works to endure far beyond the workers’ life spans.

The works and spirit of the Spanish priests who directed the building of the California missions have had a lasting influence on the development of this land; these remain as a monument to the men who were able to make their mark upon this alien environment.
While the zodiacal sign Capricorn begins with a symbol of socio-political power, Aquarius at its start presents a more spiritualized and idealistic or creative picture of the social forces at work. Moreover, it stresses the enduring character of human achievements ensouled by a great vision.
At least within the frame of reference of our Western civilization, the symbol speaks of the projection of a noble ideal into concrete forms of beauty and significance, thus of the radiation of a “civilizing” power into an institution offering to primitive men the opportunity to reach a higher, more organized and productive, level of activity.

This is the first stage in the sixty-first five-fold sequence. It speaks to us of THE CONCRETIZATION OF AN IDEAL.
This also implies the “immortalization” of an individual within a great collective and cultural enterprise.”

 

Uhhhh – this symbol doesn’t sit well with me.
The AQ Spirit of Vision and Ideal is SO tainted here by missionary & male patriarchal-religious superiority of Spanish priests – bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘primitive men’. 

A warning sign to heed the ‘Old Empire’ / ‘New Empire’ idea of ‘A New Humanity’ – again the ‘Great Reset’ / WEF plans – pursued like a religious mission (and broadcast in a predictive programming way) come to mind.

NO thank you, self proclaimed missionaries. We don’t need your top-down religious model, let alone sacrifice ourselves and Nature in old PISCES Age fashion to the immortalization of some sociopath dudes on a mission – and rather come together as free Humans, from the grassroots level up.
Mission impossible.

URANUS in TAU – squared by JUPITER and SATURN in AQ can help us prevent such economic and even biological disruption, and let Nature and Being as Nature prevail.

Having said that – there may well be two or more ‘timelines’ and experiences (according to our choice – early AQ with LIBRA undertone):
Are you going along with the old PISCEAN / CAP collective mode based on subordination, or are you co-innovating and co-creating the NEW, a la AQ?

My hope and trust is the latter, also since JUPITER (understanding, outgrowing, freedom) passes SATURN (concretization) from the conjunction point at 1° AQ onward.

 

 

SOOO JUPITER in AQ…! 

Wherever JUPITER travels – that area of the Zodiac gets enhanced and magnified.
With a tendency to get the bigger picture, and ‘make it better’.

Simple formula: It gets bigger so that it can get better.

JUPITER’s attributes are: “VERY…” and “SO MUCH…”.

In the AQ World that translates into:

AQ transcends the dimensions of Space (SAG) and Time (CAP), and goes beyond 3-D, and 4-D. 
Beyond the limiting collective PISCES Age timelines based on linear, hierarchical (CAP) structures, and their laws, authorities, and execution. In AQ there’s breathing space – as we come out from under the Mountain / Pyramid, and see: We share in equality.

Old limiting ‘matrices’ break open, the PISCEAN collective umbilical chords are cut (URANUS rules AQ, and represents in our initial life experience the last phase of birth, when the baby crowns(!), comes out of the womb, and the umbilical chord is being cut.
CAP is ruled by SATURN – the Planetary Archetype that represents contraction / labour, esp. in its own sign CAP in 2018 – 2020, and PLUTO the birth canal – also in 2020 in CAP, and accentuated by JUPITER (hmmm, a big baby, a big birth happening).

Early AQ has a LIBRA undertone –
We have a choice which realm to be in – the heavy duty, dense ‘safe’, and old (CAP) / collective (PI) or the wildly different, eccentric, light and free (AQ) one – or yet other ones.

Beyond Capricornian rocks, mountains, stones, AQ rules crystals and glass – transparency, lightness, and healing / technology / innovation.

AQ is the last AIR sign, after GEM and LIBRA.
The AIR that connects us, the climate we share. 
More AIR, more freedom, more communication and co-innovation.
Better Together!

….and certainly more JUPITER in AQ phenomena to come.

 

 

JUPITER’s Fast Move through AQ & Trying on PISCES (May 13 – July 28)

YES, JUPITER will not ‘just’ go into and through AQ but even check out PISCES (which it used to be the Ruler of before NEPTUNE was discovered). 
JUPITER moves quite fast all the way through AQ – within 5 months, until May 13 , from there to the first 2º11′ PISCES (stations round 2º PI in June) from which it backtracks, re-enters AQ on July 28, goes retro until Oct 17, but only back to 22º20′ AQ.


Wow, again so many # 0-1-2, for JUPITER in 2021.

A pattern that started with the SATURN – PLUTO alignment on 01/12/2020, continues with the Winter Solstice at 2:02 am PST on 21/12/2020, the JUPITER – SATURN alignment at 10:21 am PST on 21/12/2020, and the CAP New Moon on 01/12/2021 – anniversary of the SATURN – PLUTO alignment in 2020.

Time to bring the Tarot cards 0-1-2 in again.
Maybe also to shake loose any crazy 0-1-2 ‘spell’.

In Tarot the respective Major Arcana cards are

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card 0 – Fool-Child – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

0 = Fool / Child – Pure Potentiality
Openness, innocence, fresh beginnings, baby steps.
Goes with CHIRON in ARIES
(freshly out of retro & going direct since Dec 15) – Showing up with the Medicine of Authenticity.

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card I – Magician – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

1 = Magician – Power & Manifestation
How do you use your power to create?
How are you the change you wish to see?
You are more powerful than you might ‘think’ (esp. in 2020).
Your words, your actions, your love – they help transform the world.
Don’t give power away / project it onto ‘them’, and find deep inalienable power within.
A PLUTO in CAP (still with us until 2023 / 24) theme.
MARS squares PLUTO on Dec 23 – Putting Soul Power into action.

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card II – Priestess – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

2 = Priestess – Sacred Feminine
Our life and our body is a Temple.

Being in alignment with your cosmic self keeps you in integrity. Doing the work and being in service in an intentional, clear way, connected with Spirit / Higher Self.
Everything is spiritual practice.

 

Since early AQ where it all starts has a LIBRA undertone we’re called to make choices, and it’s about relationship:

  • Do you choose the dense and old & told, or the light and new way of Being?
  • Do you choose polarity / duality (2), or oneness / unity (1), and: Zero Point Consciousness?
  • Who are your People with whom you’re on a wave length, and in synch & synergy?
  • Time to co-create in a new consciousness.

 

JUPITER grazing on the AQ – PISCES ‘Coherence Cusp’ in Spring / Summer 2021 is promising for co-innovating with fusions and synergies of ingenuity – just like good Jazz. Starts with contributing our Best to Humanity (early AQ).

More about the trend towards PISCES closer to the time – gotta feel out the climate (also an AQ – PI interface theme).

JUPITER’s (& SATURN’s) Transit in AQ in Your Chart & Life…

…can help your SUN, MOON, AC, or Planetary Archetypes in AQ and the area/s of life relating to the AQ House/s in your birth (and local!) chart/s to contribute your best to Humanity, connect via shared interest in groups, be societally engaged, find friendship in freedom, and co-create the Future.

…after a perhaps frustrating yet effective ‘clearing’ and phase of closures with JUPITER in CAP in 2020, SATURN in CAP over the last 3 years, and an even deeper purge via PLUTO in CAP since 2008.

We really have changed & matured so much in our CAP Houses since 2008 & 2018.  

 

So – here are keywords for the astrological Houses.
Whichever one/s you have AQ in points to the area of life where community, collaboration, friendship, free spiritedness, are knocking on your door. 


SATURN’s entry into it is an initiation for more humanity and freedom. If you’re on good terms with SATURN you should be in good shape, lol.

And as JUPITER travels through as well, throughout 2021 – not just tests and challenges, but lots of opportunities coming your way in those areas of life where AQ is in your chart:

 

1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self

2nd House
Your Values. What you own, literally & metaphorically, incl. your Business

3rd House 
Your Environment & Relatives

4th House
Your Home, Origin, Ancestry

5th House 
Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover

6th House
Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle

7th House
Your Partners & Significant Others

8th House 
Your Involvement and Sharing with Others. Your Transformations

9th House
What gives you Meaning. Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels

10th House 
Your Purpose incl Career, Your Public Self

11th House
Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends – that AQ House

12th House
Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.

 

Blessings to all of us for the epic Winter Solstice, and an uplifting, light bringing finale of 2020, with SATURN leading on into AQ, followed by JUPITER!

May the challenge bring out our Best, and strengthen our natural networks of friendship, community, and in the Human Team!

Melanie

ASTRO CONSULTATIONS 

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

MERCURY in CAP (Dec 20 – Jan 8) – Walking the Talk. Keeping it real.

20 Dec

Dear Cosmic Friend & Astro News Reader,

Really?! More CAPPY energy yet?!
 
What a CAP concentration / conglomerate of 2020!  
Yep – just as SATURN (Dec 16) and JUPITER (Dec 19) left MERCURY is going to kick off the Wintry Season, the day before Solstice!

And then, there’ll be MERCURY, the SUN, and PLUTO in CAP – a whole different vibe than JUPITER, SATURN, PLUTO.
 
 

Caduceus Staff of Hermes / Mercury (photographer and location unknown) – also apropos MERCURY in CAP – classic / neo classic architecture…  in structural integrity.

 
 
On Dec 20, it’s MERCURY’s turn to cross over the Integrity Point (as I like to call it) from SAG to CAP!
 
To help with thinking realistically, talking straight and to the point, grounded and matter-of-factly, with in-built authority, from experience, not wasting thoughts or words on what doesn’t matter, sticking to priorities, and keeping our word.
Doing as we say. Simple & rock-solid.
 
Well, we can use that, after the massive CAP overkill in 2020.
What has the year taught you?
What DID work well in your life and why?
 
Can you dedicate more time and energy to those priorities?
An excellent energy for taking stock & doing inventory of the old, and be time and quality of life conscious.
And for having these not easy but important conversations that have to do with facing reality.
Talking with Elders, and with old time Friends.
Turning to good old quality books.
 
‘Usually’ I’d say about MERCURY in CAP that it’s great for being in planning mode (without letting the planning mind take over) – but:
Is that even possible in 2020 / for 2021?!
 
 
Let’s not get TOO serious though – promise?!
 
Don’t be too judgmental and hard on yourself or others.
A great time to take interest in / reading about anything classic / historic.
And to think Quality over Quantity Simplicity beyond Complexity  
ZEN NoMind
 
MERCURY in CAP will be active until Jan 8.
 
 

 

MERCURY in CAP will witness and report from these cosmic dates / alignments (some epic):

DEC 25 – Christmas Day
… with the CAP SUN squaring CHIRON stationary in ARIES
Show up for and as yourself and in the NOW, in this oh-so-traditional and memory & expectation fraught Holiday. Don’t let the ‘Brave New World’ steal Christmas. The Spirit as YOU see it IS the Medicine.  

 

DEC 27
The SUN in CAP in Earth Trine with URANUS retro & LILITH in TAU

Day One of post-2020   

 

JAN 6 – Epiphany – Magi Day / Astrologer’s Day

Getting wild and exciting there too…

JAN 1 
MERCURY in CAP in sextile with NEPTUNE in PISCES

JAN 4
MERCURY end of CAP meets PLUTO
What’s your deepest fear? What happens when you voice it / write about it?

And – serious business of realizing: What’s deeper than the mind?!

until March 15, due to retro Jan 30 – Feb 20
Free out of the box / Matrix thinking & co-creating.

The House in your chart that contains CAP has top priority for you these days.
(Always, but esp. nowadays) a good time to be clear and calm, show up timely / timelessly, and walk / work in integrity.
 
As you read this maybe you have your SUN, MOON, AC, or Planets in CAP?
Then there’s even more to the activation between MERCURY – AND JUPITER, SATURN and PLUTO and these Inner Archetypes of yours…
 
Would be definitely a good time (well, understated) to check in astrologically – get in touch if you feel it feels right.
Got the Treat Time offer on now (Dec 1 – 31).
What an opportunity to make a zero footprint gift of cosmic inspiration to others and yourself and save big compared to my reg. fees.
Pragmatic CAP likes all that, you bet.
 
 
Back to the CAP Houses – we all have one (or two) – and MERCURY’s 19-day visit (short but covering all the bases) will help connect the dots and walk the talk there.
…after a perhaps frustrating yet effective ‘clearing’ and phase of closures with SATURN in CAP over the last 3 years, JUPITER in 2020, and deeper evolution over the last decade since PLUTO’s been in CAP (2008/9).
 
We really have changed & matured so much in our CAP Houses! Even the hard & tough way. Give yourself credit, you deserve it!
 
Do you know where CAP is in your chart, esp. House wise?
If so – here are hints for how it makes itself known in your chart, and what MERCURY has to say.
 
 
1st House Theme: Your Presence and Sense of Self
With CAP there: Mature, calm, reliable, resourceful & resilient. No energy waste.
 
With MERCURY transiting through:
Time to have your voice heard. Speak, write, let the world know (no unsolicited advice though) what matters most – to you.  
 
 
2nd House
Your Values. What you own, literally & metaphorically, incl. your Business
Building on solid ground is your thing.
 
A good time to acquire something of lasting / increasing value. What gives you true rock-solid security? Time to appreciate and use what you (already) have, and to build your business in simplicity & consistency. The time is ripe. 
 
 
3rd House
Your Environment & Relatives
SO conservative and judgmental… or: traditional and always there for one another, old fashioned / timeless reliability.
 
Notice your thinking about them. Drop your own judgment, while staying in integrity. Don’t take on what’s not yours to carry. Be a calm rock in the world around you.  
 
 
4th House
Your Home, Origin, Ancestry
A rock-solid ancient world, affected by & writing history. Or just sooo old world / ‘Old Empire’, and you’re SO done with it?
 
When coming home practice calm discernment about the gifts of a solid foundation and teachings (even via ‘negative examples’) and how you’ve outgrown the Old. Take the best and leave the rest (with Love).  
 
 
5th House
Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover
Play may indeed have priority (a matter of permission?).
 
Create something important – one step / day at a time. Instead of being held back by judgment, turn to the wisdom of experience, and infuse your creativity with mature ‘grandma love’. Talk to your inner child / grandchild. Cherish the time with your children as they mature and appreciate every ‘season’ with them.
 
 
6th House
Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle
Taking on something serious & responsible?
 
Here’s your top season to serve significantly. Your word matters. Affirm others and yourself in bringing out their / your best – for the Highest Good. The time is NOW.   
 
 
7th House
Your Partners & Significant Others
Mature and reliable ones may apply.
 
Enough frustrations, hardship, rejections, NO’s on their or your side. Done with old patterns. How have SATURN & JUPITER in CAP been your (at times perhaps tough) relationship coaches? How would the Best and maturest side in you communicate with your partners? Keep it simple and real. Respect them as yourself.
 
 
8th House 
Your Involvement and Sharing with Others. Your Transformations
Serious processes you’ve been through – in Life and esp. in the last years.
 
Yes, you need to talk about the hardship. Don’t get stuck in repeating patterns though. Don’t take too much on for others (anymore) – you know that  guilty feeling… But hey, let them know you’re there for them with your time, resources, and love if it’s in integrity for you.  
 
 
9th House
What gives you Meaning. Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels
You don’t take those lightly.
 
It doesn’t have to be SO. Have serious lessons-into-wisdom shown up on your Path in the last 3 years? Which people,  places, and purpose are you communicating with / about now, with all your experience under your belt? What have you learnt? A good time also to learn a new foreign language, polish up an old one, or to study legal matters.  
 
 
10th House
Your Purpose incl Career. Your Public Self
You challenge yourself, don’t you?!
 
Hope you haven’t been held back by fear and performance anxiety in the last years, or judged (yourself) unfairly. The public wants to meet you, esp. these weeks. Yes, because you lead by example and have accomplished something admirable. But also just because. Be out there at important / quality public events. An upgrade is due.    
 
 
11th House
Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends
Top notch. Established. Or simply solid.
 
And / or people who’ve been there, done that, who don’t buy into consensus reality anymore, and co-invest their time and energy into what matters most, at the end of the day. Cherish precious time together, and how you’ve seen each other mature over time. Talk to your long time friends.  
 
 
12th House
Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.
Form & Formlessness. Ever interchanging and simultaneously present for you.
 
Time is a mystery / illusion. How have you experienced the evidence of it over ‘the last years’? The Universe has your back, and you can rely on it – as you tie up your Camel. Receive cosmic messages and share the word out – easy! 
  

 

Wishing you a real cool time with MERCURY in CAP!

ASTRO CONSULTATIONS 

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

From the Galactic Centre to the WINTER SOLSTICE 2020 – Light Returning…

17 Dec

Winter Solstice Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

Galactic Cente – The Heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, via NASA infrared Space Telescope

 

These days, Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

 

If you with birthdays these days, or AC, MOON, or Planets in our birth chart at 26 – 28° SAG, are strongly called to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.  

And if your SUN / MOON or other cosmic features are in early CAP: Happy RE-Birthday! Thank you for carrying the Light into the World!

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we’re also at the Space-Time cross(roads): SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time.

What does it take to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time and right Place? And to attract ‘synchronicities’?

We increase the odds when we’re in resonance with the Universe, i.o.w., when we follow inner Heart Guidance – aligned with the Universe – the inner teacher who is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’:
When we’re in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

 

The Winter SoUlstice Point is the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point – here we can find the Teacher and Guiding Light within.

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ teaches us, via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditioning, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) and where we need to drop the excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements.

On Dec 16, SATURN completed its ‘job’ in CAP (since Dec 20, 2017), and entered AQ – to be joined in AQ by JUPITER on Dec 19. The two biggest planets in our Solar System meet and start a new 20-year cycle on Dec 21 – Winter Solstice(!) at 1ºAQ  – A New Era for our Shared Humanity.

JUPITER hasn’t given us an ‘easy’ / ‘fun’ time in CAP (where it’s the most challenged / challenging) – the gifts show up in hindsight / over time.
But maybe you can already honour them – clearing the path for the transition into AQ.

MERCURY crosses on Dec 20 over the Space-Time Point into CAP where it reminds us to keep the mind clear and ‘real’.

 

Reflections for the Winter Solstice Point – also and especially in 2020:

  • What have been the Gifts you received in the last year (and beyond)? Including those in disguise (usually the most spiritually important ones…).
  • Which of your inner Gifts have you been shown / reminded of?
  • What would be the best way of doing something with them?
  • How can this implementation bring out your Best and serve the Greater Good?
  • How does the Inner Light return for you?
  • How do you offer and contribute it to Humanity – AQ – to help co-create a New Era for and in Humanity?
  • Living by ancient, timeless teachings, and bringing them into this time and into our shared future can be very beneficial.
 

 

Blessings for the Galactic RE-Birthday to all of us NOW!

The energy to align with essential deep Truth (the ultimate Gift that comes ‘down the chimney’) so that we can actually Walk the Talk, Implement the Vision, and BE the Truth, the Light, the Love – Together!  

 

The SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition, at WINTER SOLSTICE 2020 – this year on Dec 21 at 2:02 am PST.


If you’re up at this time it would be wonderful to do a ceremony, inviting the Light!  

 

 

Here is the Winter Solstice ‘Birth Chart’:

 

What’s the cosmic energy of the WINTER SOLSTICE 2020?

What a Year!
What grand finale / grand transition alignment from 2020 into 2021!
I’m sure you know about it and are feeling it…
What a Galactic Transition into Light Returning!

 

We’re just coming out of the Galactic Total Solar Release Eclipse in SAG (Dec 14) – End of Old Story. Into the Heart of the Deep Unknowable.

VENUS still in SAG until until Jan 8 helps us with Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty, and Being in Heart Connection.

MERCURY (from Dec 20 on) leads the SUN into CAP, after their ‘Superior Conjunction’ on Dec 19 in the Galactic Centre: Deep Truth seen, spoken, shared (SAG), and lived by (CAP).

The BIG theme: JUPITER and SATURN leave CAP during Galactic Centre days (Dec 16 / 19)!

And align at 1º AQ – on Dec 21, 2020 at 10:21 am PST, just 8 hrs after Winter Solstice at 2:02 am PST – on 12/21/2020!
A New Era for our Shared Humanity!

 

Whoa – striking all these 0’s, 1’s and 2’s. In Tarot the respective Major Arcana cards are

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card 0 – Fool-Child – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 0 = Fool / Child – Pure Potentiality Openness, innocence, fresh beginnings, baby steps. Goes with CHIRON in ARIES (stationary in Dec since it went direct on Dec 15) – the Medicine of Authenticity.

 

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card I – Magician – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 1 = Magician – Power & Manifestation How do you use your power to create? How are you the change you wish to see? You are more powerful than you might ‘think’ (esp. in 2020). Your words, your actions, your love – they help transform the world. Don’t give power away / project it onto ‘them’, and find deep inalienable power within. A PLUTO in CAP (still with us until 2023 / 24) theme. MARS squares PLUTO on Dec 23 – put Soul Power into action.

 

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card II – Priestess – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 2 = Priestess – Sacred Feminine Our life and our body is a Temple. Being in alignment with your cosmic self keeps you in integrity. The SAG – CAP Winter Solstice is also the Integrity Point in the Zodiac. Doing the work and being in service in an intentional, clear way, connected with Spirit / Higher Self. Everything is spiritual practice.  

 

SATURN & JUPITER leaving CAP where there’s been a historic conglomerate of Planets in 2020 (JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO, showing the intensity & immensity of the Old Empire as it Expires), entering AQ, and aligning at Winter Solstice to initiate a new 20-year cycle is huge!

And of course deserves separate blog explorations.

Here’s the first one, for SATURN in AQ – We the People. Our Humanity Matters.

 

Also on the Day of the WINTER SOLSTICE and beyond:

The MOON end of PISCES, after passing NEPTUNE on Dec 20 (a biiig wash-out, release, letting go of old vibrations) will be about to enter ARIES on Winter Solstice Day at 2:32 pm PST for her monthly alignment with CHIRON on Dec 22.

Linking back to the Spring Equinox New Moon with LILITH & CHIRON on March 24 – Show Up with the Medicine of Spring.
Also – and esp. now at the onset of Winter – as the Light Returns.
What’s fresh and new, brave, authentic, and alive in you?
Show up with and as it – NOW.
Receiving and offering Medicine (CHIRON) can be so direct.

MARS in ARIES – in its last phase until Jan 6 (has been since June 27!). MARS comes out of a Fire Trine with MERCURY and the SUN end of SAG (was exact Dec 10 / 14) – lots of ‘War on…’ Mission, and lots of opportunity to Be the Warrior of Light and Life and Love.
The grand finale of MARS in ARIES is coming up: The square to PLUTO end of CAP, on Dec 23 (the 3rd of 3 contacts in 2020):
Connecting with Soul Power, and acting from there strengthens the genuine Inner Warrior.  

URANUS in TAU will be met & passed by LILITH exact on Dec 23 (happens only every about 10 years).
Being Free & Thriving as our intrinsic, unconditioned, ‘Wild’ Nature, our senses and as Nature herself always ARE.  

 


Celtic Wheel of the Year, with the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices, incl. YULE – Winter Solstice

Let’s link up with the deep cosmic energy at this time of year!

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time and Place.  

Speaking of Space-Time: Space as we knew it has changed massively and irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008).   

Time as we know it is changing now, with PLUTO in CAP (2008 – 2023). Time is VERY relative, in fact it’s just a dimension that can be also molded, and transcended: We energetically ‘run out of it’ when we race around in scarcity mode, and, with consumer mentality (esp. before Christmas…), want more of what we don’t seem to ‘have’. Like a ‘hungry ghost’.

One of the shadows of CAP (the never satisfied materialist).

In contrast, we ‘have all the time in the world’ when we slow down, and tune into ‘Kairos’ (time-as-quality) rather than ‘Chronos’ (time-as-quantity). When we tap into ‘Deep Time’, and tune into Heart Time…

One of the best gifts we can give others, to ourselves, and to the World.

Heart Blessings for this Deep and Sacred Time of Year!

SATURN in AQ (Dec 16, 2020 – March 7, 2023) – We The People. Our Humanity Matters.

16 Dec

Dear Cosmic Friends in Our Humanity!

WE are the People.
ALL of us matter – equally.
We all breathe the same AIR.

Time for Social & Societal Responsibility in an Interdependent & Interconnected World.

Breath has become a political issue.
And “I can’t breathe” was up on posters and banners of BLM protests across the globe when SATURN was first in AQ (between March 21 and July 1). 
All of us need to respect each other equally – and be respected equally by authorities
(SATURN)
A too high of an ideal – given history? No excuse. This is the time to learn the lessons (again).
Where are you positioning yourself and showing up in society?
is also a SATURN in AQ question.

 

Time to step fully into & show up with our inalienable Human Freedoms (AQ) – despite….
yes, SATURN presents challenges (external – authority, and internal – fear) which turn into stepping stones.

 

Let’s hear it for SATURN in AQUARIUS!

Here’s the Overview

…of what you find in this article:

  • SATURN, F.E.A.R. and T.T.T.T.T.

  • SATURN in CAP-to-AQ

  • On the Support Team

  • An important Motto for SATURN in AQ: We the People…!

  • Dangers & Directions with SATURN in AQ

  • SATURN in AQ historically

  • The Chart of SATURN entering AQ

  • Most Important Contacts of SATURN in AQ with other Planets, end of 2020, and in 2021

  • SATURN in AQ in YOUR Chart

  • Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?

 

 

SATURN, F.E.A.R. and T.T.T.T.T.

The writing’s on the wall…

Tied into this and its own topic – SATURN’s all-time fave TT (Teaching Tool): F.E.A.R.

Which, let’s face it, has more often than not to do with the acronym – an internalized conditioning of what we ‘should’ be afraid of, rather than a real danger in front of us.

Fear has shown up in a spectrum of expressions this year:

  • Fear of the virus and its invisible invasiveness.
  • Social awkwardness when ‘the other’ can’t be fully visually perceived – which psychologically creates suspicion and alienation.
  • Fear of being isolated / a-social is also apropos SATURN in AQ, as are sociophobic / sociopathic conditions, now ‘on the table’ and natural effects of the world of 2020.
  • Fear of the government / system.
  • And then there’s fear for society’s / humanity’s future.


FEAR has become the most pervasive virus of the year – yet ‘only’ making more evident (SATURN) of what’s already been there.
Fear isn’t good for the immune system, that’s for sure
 – an issue with huge repercussions for the future (SATURN in AQ).


F.E.A.R. out of concrete context / as concern about what could happen typically leads to disproportionate responses / reactions (to make sure we do our best to protect / prevent….).
That’s also where SATURN’s simplicity motto comes in: Less is More.

Easier said than done…!?
Well, that’s SATURNian too – since it takes resolve, consistent practice, discipline, boundaries (‘Just’ say NO – a challenge, given the Aquarian peer / society pressure), and resilience – SATURN is the Cosmic Coach for growing up and showing up, after all.

 

SATURN is about Authority, and about T.T.T.T.T.
Tests, Tasks, Teaching, Training, Time.
All of this now applied to AQ.

In the real deal AQ World, we’ve seen ample evidence and sadly lots of drastic illustration of SATURN, during and beyond the first ‘test phase’ of SATURN in very early AQ, March 21 – July 1.

 

Just an example of a SATURN type table / projection model / 2-D matrix of Time and #’s (pls note: we’re talking about People!)

Tests – Tests – Tests.

Literally, globally, extensive testing, based on a questionable PCR test – so many scientists (AQ) worldwide have critiqued the reliability of the test, due to inconsistent results re: ‘positives’ in ‘numbers’ / ‘cases’ (we’re talking of People here!) it produced – no scientific quality control done!

But that fell on deaf ears of the leaders-in-charge (SATURN). The tests have been the foundation / justification for restrictive governmental measures, advice, and execution (all very SATURN) – with massive effects on the societal fabric (more SATURN in AQ).

And yes, testing of people for fear of the virus threat has been going on globally, to make sure they can be isolated from social interaction. Societal Fears evoked and sanctioned by science(?) and otherwise perceived / established medical and political authority.
All very SATURN in AQ.

Early AQ where SATURN has been in Spring, and is now fully until March 2021 + Aug – Dec 2021 has a LIBRA undertone: What’s at stake is the legal-ethical-constitutional proportionality of measures – considering / in relation to the realistic threat and purpose (remember? Originally to protect hospital infrastructures from being overwhelmed – CAP, and to ‘flatten the projected curve’).
And there are other implications to the AQ – LIBRA theme (see below).

 

Boundaries are also Ringed SATURN’s domain.

So fascinating that one of the key debates that has been polarizing and separating (SATURN) society (AQ) in the Covid Crisis process has been the prevention effectiveness of face masks – ordered by authorities (SATURN) to wear in social context (AQ).
A huge spectrum in the response of the population worldwide, from vehement refusal and protests to ueber compliance (even wearing them in situations when the individual is alone in their car, on their bike, walking in nature without anyone around…).
It appears that beyond the intended purpose of protecting oneself and one’s environment from the virus when social distance (SATURN in AQ) isn’t possible (the effectiveness of which has been scientifically questioned, and the ‘side effects’ to wearers would in many cases outweigh potential benefits – hence the orders wouldn’t be suited / the order of it would be unreasonable) the wearing or not wearing of face masks had become a symbol, a statement, a ritual – all very SATURN.

Human Aquarium

Clearly, mask wearing has effects on our social interaction or rather:
It’s a Saturnian blockage / obstacle thereof – very AQ.
Not much of a chance / incentive to ‘talk to strangers’ – since every stranger can be a potential danger (your friends too) – all very apropos ringed SATURN – mask and social distancing serving as ‘mutually protective rings’.

The Ring / SATURN’s protective container is also a matrix / box. 
Matrix literally means womb. When the baby outgrows the womb and the time for birth has come, labour contractions (our initial encounter with the SATURN Archetype) set in – yes, birth starts with pain (SATURN).

The Ring also has a parental, i.e. maternal or paternal function – the security of belonging and being cared and provided for.
Yep, also a super issue this year – Who provides for you if you can’t because you have to close your business due to lock-downs (SATURN)? The government-as-Uber Daddy (SATURN)?
But the government is all of us, and providing resources affects future generations (AQ) – unless the monetary system changes completely.
Self reliability, stepping into healthy leadership and authority, self & social responsibility (SATURN the ruler of CAP and old ruler of AQ) are at stake and in question.

My sense is, with such a massive CAP concentration in 2020, wrapping around its ‘Lord’ (trad. and still ruler of CAP) SATURN, incl. PLUTO and JUPITER, Humanity on Planet Earth is in a collective ‘birthing’ and ‘growing up’ phase, of disengaging from the ‘Old Empire’ matrix / cocoon – in a last crescendo that gives so much energy and attention to it – expressed by the governments or other institutions or CAP style top-down old ways. 

We the People need to grow up into responsible adulthood and respectful partnership with one another and with Mother Earth – rather than adolescently (or embryonically) still adhere to the ‘Old Empire’ while semi or full-on rebelling against it.


The end-of-CAP (last 10º) realm where SATURN – JUPITER – PLUTO have been in a huge concentration in 2020 has a VIRGO undertone.
No wonder the world has been in extreme modes round health-wellness infrastructure, ‘production’ / business, program / regulation & ritual modes, and no wonder, governmental / admin leaders and ‘officers’ as well as medical experts have been in constant overdrive, with the notion of: ‘Solving the problem’. However heavily exposing the ‘old world’ in-built structural shadow (PLUTO) that calls for evolution. 

And no wonder, via the SATURN in early AQ ‘preview’ in Spring / early Summer issues of impacts of the Government – Society – People dynamic (CAP – AQ cusp), and social justice (AQ with LIBRA undertone) have become a serious priority (SATURN) to deal with.
T. b. continued almost throughout 2021 – buuut, we’ll see visionary JUPITER in AQ taking the lead.

More about JUPITER in AQ and the JUPITER – SATURN conjunction in separate blog articles.
Stay tuned.

 

With SATURN after the Spring / early Summer test phase now for real in AQ:
What’s with Freedom in the face of F.E.A.R.?

When fear strikes (well, can be applied to so many primal emotions and obsessive thoughts) – ask yourself:

Is this… true?
How do I know it’s true?
Who would I be without this ‘truth’?
Who’s the True Me?


…which also goes with the South Node now in SAG – super activated with the TSE on Dec 14. A light switch for the end of old stories, assumptions & beliefs, and back to heart knowing.

Let’s use all our tools to transform F.E.A.R. into L*O*V*E 
Perfect Times for This. We got This!

 

Is this the Society we know?
Is this the Society we want?
Is this the end of Society (or even Humanity?) as we know it?
How can we part of the co-creation of the New?


As it goes with AQ – the discussion has only just begun, and strands of energy and information are being woven together, as our bright & free / forward / out of the box thinking m
inds from a broad spectrum of Humanity (AQ), grounded in maturity, experience, and responsibility (CAP, where SATURN’s been in the last almost 3 years) need to come together, to preserve and live in Freedom (SATURN in AQ), and as we co-innovate Community and Society.
From the ground up, rather than from the top down
(as in some glitzy-grizzly models like ‘4th Industrial Revolution’, ‘Great Reset’ would try to sell us – doesn’t become more valid and attractive or even ‘normal’ and expected by repetition / mind programming).

This is to co-building the New, organically, as Nature intends.
MARS entering TAURUS on Jan 6 and joining stat. URANUS & LILITH there on Jan 20 / 29 plus squaring SATURN & JUPITER on Jan 13 / 22 is all down with a Green, Organic Revolution for emBodying Freedom beyond ‘The System’.
Such a breakthrough energy of January!

 

 

Back-and-forward tracking with SATURN:

SATURN in CAP-to-AQ

SATURN, the Archetype of the INNER ELDER / TEACHER / SAGE has just made a move, into AQ – (after a first testing / trial(!) time, March 21 – July 1), and getting ‘unfinished business’ at the end of CAP done / finishing the Old & Expired off in the Summer & Fall.


Now, it fully entered AQ on Dec 16
– to be met at Winter Solstice(!) by JUPITER which follows into AQ on Dec 19!
Together, they’ll start a new 20-year socio-political-economical cycle at 1º AQ, based on social justice & community building.
The last JUPITER – SATURN cycle that started in May 2000 in TAU is ending this year – we exhausted it, as consumerism, materialism, capitalism & uber production with way too much waste has suffocated Mother Earth.

Stay tuned for special JUPITER in AQ and JUPITER – SATURN blog articles.

 

On the CAP to AQ cusp, it’s about the interface between Past / History and Future.
Building of Community. Building of our Future – Together.
Co-Innovating.
Bringing our Best to Humanity.



With SATURN in CAP since Dec 20, 2017 we were challenged to grow up, be more fully on purpose / in our own responsibility, and not waste precious time and resources.
As this period has technically ended it’s also a good time to take stock / do an inventory & review of Dec 2017 – Dec 2020:

  • How have you lived up to being in your integrity? Give yourself credit for showing up in it in seriously challenging scenarios that were a test and initiation / prep for future situations.
  • Have you simplified your life, by saying NO to projects & esp. stuff as needed, and not needed anymore, and are you ok with living with the consequences?
  • Have you set healthy boundaries to people (in person and in public) who hold you back and weigh you down?
  • Have you put energy into what matters most to you and what brings out the best in you?
  • How has this period (maybe through challenges you wouldn’t have ‘chosen’ but could see in hindsight what their purpose was) brought out your best?
  • What’s with having respect for others as for yourself? Is there a reflection?
    P.S. you can’t change people, just yourself (hard enough that-is, ha-ha).
  • Have you been strengthening your Roots?
    As in: your own rootedness here on Planet Earth, in your body (esp. Root Chakra), and your connection with ancestral roots (biological, Spirit ancestors, ancestors of the land)? Yep, and always good to eat root vegetables, and sit by a tree. I mean it.
  • How’s your connection with your biological and Spirit Elders – what has changed in the last 3 years?
  • How has your Inner Elder come out?


Checking in and reviewing would make for a good project in the present end of 2020 home bound mode many of us find ourselves in – along with taking inventory of our physical environment.
Which I find very therapeutic, and it can attune to creative abundance / transformation mode rather than in the recent partly artificially created stressful scarcity / scare-city mode.

 

From this hopefully very GROUNDED & integral place we can move better into SATURN in AQ where contributing our Best to Community becomes super important.

Inventory can lead to re-inventing. And co-innovating.
Which takes us to AQ.

Here’s where the challenge and opportunity in this global 2020 scenario lays:
A c
risis that seems to separate people on one level brings community and humanity together in another way – and that can lead to otherwise not ‘necessary’ Social Leaps (very apropos AQ).

Well, IF Humanity collaborates, and co-innovates (which we’re already doing – yet it becomes ever so important and timely), rather than repairing & attempting to recreate / reinstate the old / expired and dysfunctional model.


Ringed SATURN represents the blocks / lock-ups, obstacles and challenges that seem to prevent us from something, yet which the Human Spirit
(esp. in AQ) can rise beyond – which starts with seeing them for what they really are.

AQ used to be ruled by SATURN (representing social order and status / one’s place in society) – until URANUS was discovered in 1781 – right between the American (1776) and French (1789) Revolutions. Equality & Freedom for ALL!

The Awakener Archetype Planet URANUS made its initial appearance to Humanity at a time when the Human Spirit was liberating & revolutionizing societies.
It represents paradigm shifts, breakthroughs, breaking free from the (outer and inner) ‘Old Regime’, and Being FREE as a Human among all other Spiritual Beings in Embodied Form.

And, as spiritual teacher Krishnamurti said: Freedom without an opposite (otherwise it’s still in polarity and not true freedom!).


URANUS is also very prominent this time of the SATURN’s & JUPITER’s moves into URANIAN realms of AQ:
With the Awakener Archetype Planet in TAURUS (2019 – 2026) it’s about EmBodying Freedom.

The Earth is waking us up of our materialistic / consumer ‘dream’ ‘comfort zone’ (shadows of TAU) – “Don’t stuff-ocate me!”

 

Flora – famous Roman fresco in Stabia

The Green Revolution is calling – from the grassroots up, por favor (not another top-down Old-New Empire propaganda)!

SATURN in AQ will square URANUS (modern ruler of AQ) in TAU not just once, but 3 times in 2021, and the alignment will be in effect Feb  until June(!) and throughout December 2021 – arguably THE most important transit of the year. 
A clash between old ways of trying to restrain, restrict, and control humanity (incl via ‘bio disruption’) and economy, and fresh and free growth from the ground up (URANUS and LILITH in TAU).

 

On the Support Team

While SATURN presently ever so obviously – apparently restricts, and brings obstacles to Aquarian Freedom, let’s bring another ancient & timeless paradigm shifter into the picture, to help us make clear what we might not see:

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

Elephant headed Ganesha, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles on the Path’ is buddies with SATURN, and can be invoked to bring the (actual) obstacles to the light, whatever they may be, and show a path to overcome or release them.

Ganesha is in my understanding astrologically represented by a combo of SATURN & JUPITER – helping us see beyond obstacles.
And hey, JUPITER enters AQ too – on Dec 19 – to meet & pass the Ringed One on Winter Solstice – 
There’s something SO much bigger than what we might experience with our restrictions and ‘blinders’ (also apropos South Node in SAG) if we adhere to old stories and beliefs.


A friend from Germany wrote to me earlier this year, saying: “Nature would be so beautiful now, if there wasn’t the Dark Cloud hanging over everything.”

Sums up the societal atmosphere. The dark invisible cloud – affecting humanity (very much apropos SATURN in airy AQ which rules clouds and vapours…): The cloud of the virus, and even more so, the cloud of fear.


For starters:

Let’s unmask(!) debilitating / paralyzing / obsessive FEAR (SATURN’s domain) first.
It comes in so many disguises, and typically pretends to protect – a parental / security thing.

Humanity (AQ) has in this time of uncertainty understandably been gripped by fear (fear of the virus, of each other, of the government, of the future…).
Yet, that’s still / always SATURN’s low vibration, which is ironically / obviously negatively impacting our immune system – also a SATURN function
(together with PISCES / ARIES, both also very activated this passing year and beyond).

Not only is ‘ordinary human life’ / the social system out of control / normal functioning.
Fear leads to separation (and vice versa – all SATURNian) – from one another, from the Universe, and from our strong vibrant core.
The resulting vulnerable human state can be exploited and manipulated (e.g. into polarization and blame agendas, even demonizing ‘the other’, with the next level of a call for an externalized authority to ‘do something’ – all CAP-to-AQ shadow expressions).

Bottom line, when we’re in fear, isolation, and separation, we can be so much more easily controlled (externally and by internal ‘demons’).

SO important to check in in that regard, these isolating times.
While socializing is regulating our minds and emotions.
We’re social animals.

Not to say there shouldn’t be any protective measures from responsible governmental institutions.
Certainly YES to effective and intelligent / common sense protection of those people who are vulnerable – that’s what the social contract and our Humanity call from us.


Yet i.m.o. the governments shouldn’t overdo it in a way that an initially appropriate response turns into a massive disproportional ‘overkill’ operation (the MARS – JUPITER – PLUTO – SATURN in CAP activation was on early 2020, and via square from stationary MARS / LILITH / ERIS in ARIES in Sept – so much polarizing firing and back-firing).

Plus: JUPITER aligned 3 times with PLUTO end of CAP (on Apr 4, June 29 and Nov 12). The BIG operation has the potential to cause more damage than good – to all of humanity and our social systems (AQ) if executive power (PLUTO in CAP) isn’t used wisely and in integrity (SATURN) – for the good of all (AQ).


With this situation ‘evolving’ – a PLUTO thing – rather than giving so much authority & power to the test / the vaccine, and those in charge (SATURN – PLUTO) it’s important now to stay in a naturally-intrinsically empowered (PLUTO) / higher vibrational level and offer that out to society. I believe that’s also socially responsible.

The Golden Rule (very AQ – LIBRA) comes handy too:
When it comes to contagiousness for vulnerable people – if you were vulnerable how would you like others to behave toward you?
Do that in the presence of vulnerable people. And if you are considering yourself vulnerable to infection please do what you need to to protect yourself, without panicking – stay grounded and feed yourself with joy and love and immune boosters!

Let the light of inner spiritual wisdom remove the obstacles – whichever they may be.
Jai Ganesh!

 

Anahata Yantra – Symbol for the Heart Chakra

I felt also called to consult with Louise Hay’s evergreen reference book Heal Your Body – now check this out!
Hope it helps for awareness and prevention through transformation.

“Respiratory Ailments
Probable underlying theme: Fear of taking in Life fully.
Transformation / Affirmation:
I am safe. I love my life
.”

“Coughs
Probable underlying theme: A desire to bark at the world. See me! Listen to me!
Transformation / Affirmation:
I am noticed and appreciated in the most positive ways. I am loved.”

“Influenza
Probable underlying theme: Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. Belief in statistics(!).
Transformation / Affirmation:
I am beyond group beliefs or the calendar. I’m free from all congestion and influence.”

 

The Lungs are related to the Heart Chakra.
Its Colour is Green. The Element is AIR. The Planet is VENUS.
Cultivating LOVE and being in the green lands of Nature is SO good for us.

Plus, the Lungs are also related to the Metal Element – we’re in the Chinese Year of the Yang Metal Rat, until Feb 11, 2021.
A new 12-year Animal Cycle has started with the Rat.
And SATURN & JUPITER in early AQ will be on China’s AC. 


Metal is associated with the respiratory system & lungs, and with grief.
We’ve seen so much focus on both the organs and metal as in: hospitals / equipment, money being made by big pharma while lots of ‘ordinary people’ are in deep distress through the crisis and its measures and effects, health wise on all levels, and economically.
Loved ones can’t be seen in hospitals or care homes, and meetings happen online / tech / metal supported (even voices sound metallic online).
A real deep grieving for – whatever comes up and is real for each of us, and perhaps collectively – would be called for, and could contribute to release and healing.



That’s where also CHIRON in ARIES, now freshly out of retro & direct again comes in.
The Medicine of Showing up a-New, with Your Authentic Way of Being.

Which is linked to our Authority as Humans and as Humanity (SATURN in AQ).
SATURN will move into supportive triple sextile with CHIRON in 2021: Feb 9, June 23 (active throughout June / July), and Nov 26.

More about SATURN’s contacts with other Planets in 2021 below.

 

 

URANUS Rules AQUARIUS – painting by Johfra Bosschart – Just as the 7 (chakra?) blossoms are opening, we’re all equally growing toward the Light and infused by cosmic energy / Prana / Life Force.

An important Motto for SATURN in AQ:
We the People…!


Yes, we’re all breathing the same AIR, receiving the same prana, and are in this together.
Collaboration and co-innovation on all levels and across / beyond boundaries is now called for.

I don’t believe the crisis can be ultimately solved from the top-down (a la CAP) – that only goes so far, and is essentially of the old consciousness – but through collaboration of people in society (AQ).

Let’s keep our connections going – in co-creative & co-innovative AQ ways -, maybe via technology, psychic connection, walks in spaciousness.
The by now conditioned ‘social distancing’ is so apropos SATURN in AQ – yet it can still lead to random encounters with friends or ‘strangers’ (had a few of those the other day, and it was delightful how the ‘ice broke’ and we talked rather than being all ‘zipped-up’).

And rather than just looking at / be flattened by wave after wave of excessive media coverage about the symptom and ever more fear / panic / control / push-back responses let’s also investigate the systemic (very AQ) background.
Many voices need to be heard, even ‘far out’ / judged ‘crazy’ ones (rather than just the old narrative, says AQ and the North Node in GEM / South Node in SAG. True egalitarian collaboration gives everyone (beyond status, position, and hierarchy a la CAP) an equal chance for input.


SATURN will hold us accountable to be consistent with AQ principles.


Another SATURN in AQ priority that had lost coverage over the passing year, due to coroni-fication:

It’s a scandal that 5G has NOT been tested for safety before installing it all over the World.

Now as so many people are home bound and restricted from work and socializing in public the only way to connect with others is via technology – hence, causing spikes in the usage of the networks, and likely a call for 5G to ‘handle it’.

We need to protect ourselves against the harmful effects of the wireless technology grid!

SATURN in AQ rules networks and technology.
It’s ‘job’ is to heed warnings, and show cause & effect / consequences over time.
Less is More.

 

Dangers & Directions with SATURN in AQ

Dangers:

  • Systemic shut-downs of society that are hard to recover from.
  • Technocracy. Surveillance via giving data & authority to technology and to who’s behind it.
  • Societal control by an established elite.
  • ‘Dark cloud’ over Humanity.
  • Fear of flying – literally and symbolically.
  • Restrictions of gatherings (social / communal, spiritual / religious, political) with devastating effects on the social fabric, and on basic human freedom and on mental & social health.
  • Alienation and personal isolation, with mental health consequences.
  • Human Rights violations, esp. when it comes to Freedom.
  • Crisis can bring out the worst (lowest vibration) in Humanity.


Directions:

  • Freedom and intrinsic Authority in Humanity.
  • Pulling together in conscious group effort / collaboration / coordination of a diversity of faculties.
  • Not just social responsibilities in our circles of activity / influence, but societal responsibilities as citizens.
  • Community Leaders and social influencers showing up and leading by example.
  • Light Leaders stepping up and helping Humanity to awaken.
  • Working with light & crystal energy.
  • Clearing attachments to the mental collective field.
  • Responsibly experimenting with free thinking alternatives.
  • United we stand!
  • We the People.
  • Declaration of Sovereignty.
  • Co-innovation.
  • Crisis can bring out our Best.

 

 

SATURN in AQ historically

SATURN has a 29-year cycle (approx one human generation), and hasn’t been in AQ since Feb 1991 – Jan 1994.
A time of huge societal changes and rebuilding, esp. after the Berlin / East German Wall came down, with a domino effect on Eastern European Communist regimes…

I was stunned to find out the other day that A. Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World was released in 1932(!) when SATURN had just entered AQ (and just before Hitler was put into power in Jan 1933). Huxley died in Nov 1963 – on the same DAY as JFK(!) – yes, when SATURN in its 29-year cycle had again just entered AQ (1962 – 1964).


History comes in patterns and offers lessons (both SATURN themes).
So I’d like to touch on  the ‘most recent’ SATURN in AQ phases / starts.
So much more could be said and explored – leaving that to your memory / investigation.

* March – Aug 1932, and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935
Check out the grim timeline of 1933, esp. Hitler’s and the Nazi’s gradual take-over in Germany and their societal polarization & manipulation, when SATURN was freshly in AQ (March – Aug 1932 and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935).
Well, and years of Depression followed in the 1930’s, besides Nazi Totalitarianism / Tyranny.

* Jan 1962 – March 1964, and Sept – Dec 1964
Starting in 1962 with the extension of the U.S. embargo towards Cuba, and culminating in the Cuban Missile Crisis in Oct when the World held its breath – a wrong leadership (SATURN) decision could have been detrimental for all of Humanity (AQ). Also that year apropos AQ: Colonial Independence of Algeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Yemen, Malaysia, Jamaica, Trinidad. And Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. Well, and 1963, J.F. Kennedy – representing hope for humanity – was assassinated (qu is still: what does ‘the system’ have to do with it?!).

* Feb 1991 – Jan 1994
Overall SATURN challenge: Rebuilding of Eastern Europe (and Reunification of Germany), after the Berlin Wall fell & Eastern European Communism disintegrated (SATURN – URANUS – NEPTUNE in CAP 1989 – 1990).
The timeline of SATURN in AQ, started in 1991 with the brutal Civil War in former Yugoslavia between Croats & Serbs.
Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan all declare independence from the former Soviet Union. Communist Party activities are formally suspended, the Warsaw Pact is dissolved, and the Soviet Union seizes to exist.

 

There seems to be a common thread re:
Communism, Socialism, ‘National’ Socialism (as the Nazi party called itself) vs Freedom of the People.

Pls note that both the ‘People’s Republic’ of China (* Oct 1, 1949) and the U.S. A. (* July 4, 1776) have their MOONs in (early and late) AQ – hey, that’s also Lady Liberty… and the importance of: We the People.

Protective / restrictive SATURN approaching it (first for China, in 2020 / 21, then for the U.S., 2022) doesn’t bode well for Freedom. Community Leadership is called for, and even System Changes are possible.
JUPITER passing SATURN in AQ can blow it up to an even ‘bigger deal’ and / or bring understanding to the issues, and help people outgrow it.

The U.S. are now also moving into their (249-year cycle) PLUTO Return (2021 – 2022 exact, has been building up).
Power – intensity – shadow – transformation – regeneration from the constitutional core is all I’m saying here…

 

 

Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering AQUARIUS

 

 

As you see, there’s quite a celestial concentration end of CAP into AQ (which will become even stronger in CAP / AQ season in Jan / Feb), and also end of SAG, and in early TAU.

Only half of the Zodiac – from early SAG to mid-GEM is occupied / and the chart is sliced into occupied and empty parts of the Zodiac by the Nodal axis (VENUS moving into it from Dec 31 on).

And only URANUS is presently (until Jan 14) retro. Then there’ll be a retro free phase until Apr 27 (PLUTO goes retro) and May 23 (SATURN goes retro), except for MERCURY going retro in AQ Jan 30 – Feb 20.
Lots of momentum, also supported by the SAG energy – esp. in certain areas.

In the passing year, ye’ve been obviously experiencing a huge deal of that late CAP conglomerate of JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO, and the intensity of governmental / infrastructural / regulatory impact, while the ‘Old Empire’ expires.

Now, the trend goes out of CAP (except for PLUTO – still doing its transformational CAP thing until 2023 / 24) into AQ, initiated by SATURN on Dec 16, and followed by JUPITER (on Dec 19), passing SATURN on Dec 21 at the epic Winter Solstice Conjunction that opens up a new 20-year socio-political-economic cycle: A New Era for our Humanity.


SATURN will go into triple square with URANUS next year, Feb 17, June 14, and Dec 23 (active Feb – June and Dec!)
One of THE most important themes in the cosmic weather in 2021.
See below!

Acutely, URANUS in TAU will be met & passed by LILITH – see chart – exact on Dec 23 (happens only every about 10 years).
Being Free & Thriving – as our intrinsic, unconditioned, ‘Wild’ Nature, and our senses, and as Nature always ARE.
Activating the Revolution / Liberation of (un?)Common Sense, down-to-Earth Values, Body Wisdom, and Free-Spiritedness 
After the contact, LILITH will lead, and continue to travel in TAU until July 18, 2021.

Also in the present energy field:
MARS in ARIES – in its last phase until Jan 6 (has been since June 27!).

MARS comes out of a Fire Trine with MERCURY and the SUN end of SAG (was exact Dec 10 / 14) – lots of ‘War on…’ Mission, and lots of opportunity to Be the Warrior of Light and Life and Love.

The grand finale of MARS in ARIES is coming up: The square to PLUTO end of CAP, on Dec 23 (the 3rd of 3 contacts in 2020):
Connecting with Soul Power, and acting from there strengthens the genuine Inner Warrior.

After MARS enters TAU it won’t get ‘calmer and quieter’ as TAU would like it. More hot stuff is being cooked up.
Lots of excitement, surprises, shocks for some, liberation & paradigm shifts, and more clashes in the ‘revolutionary scene’, as…
MARS squares SATURN on Jan 13, meets URANUS on Jan 20, and squares JUPITER on Jan 22 – whoa!

 

 

Let’s hear it for the 

Most Important Contacts of SATURN in AQ with other Planets, end of 2020, and in 2021

It starts with the epic 
Winter Solstice Alignment of JUPITER and SATURN at 1º AQ – 
A New Era for Our Humanity.
Opening a new 20-year socio-political-economic-cultural cycle.

JUPITER will pass SATURN, and take the lead for the next 10 years.

 

SATURN and JUPITER in AQ will be squared by MARS in TAU,
between Jan 13 and 22. 
A clash of progressive and restrictive forces.
Conflict between resisting and moving into the New.

 

Seasonally, MERCURY, the SUN and VENUS in AQ will pass SATURN, 
Jan 9, Jan 23, and Feb 5.
MERCURY will be super long in the sign of the Water Bearer (where it’s exalted – its top fave place), from Jan 8 – March 15 (9 1/2 weeks!) due going retro in AQ Jan 30 – Feb 20 (without going back to meet SATURN, yet coming into its vicinity (3 1/2 º away) mid – end of Feb.
So, there’ll be an energetic activation of SATURN in AQ themes (as described), via more discussion / re-consideration / examination / debate (MERCURY – SATURN), esp. scientifically and societally. Energy, attention, attraction gravitates there.

 

SATURN in AQ will go into triple sextile with CHIRON in ARIES, 
Feb 9, June 23 (with SATURN retro), and Nov 26 (with CHIRON retro).

  • Can Science help us with precedents in Medicine? Which Science? Which Medicine are we talking about?
  • SATURN in AQ makes scientific scrutiny mandatory – evidence of effects if it doesn’t happen will show up. Was Medicine(?) or rather: a fast treatment ‘shot out’ too hastily (ARIES)?
  • What does that have to do with the ‘War Medicine’ approach? What needs to heal about this now (CHIRON)? Societal advancement / scientific advancement SATURN in AQ) shows why.
  • Who calls the shots and reaps the benefits yet has to be held accountable (SATURN)?
  • What are repercussions (SATURN)?

 

SATURN in AQ will go into triple square with URANUS (the modern Ruler of AQ) in TAURUS,
Feb 17, June 14 (with SATURN retro), and Dec 23 (with URANUS retro).
The alignment will be active Feb – June and Dec!
One of THE most important themes in the cosmic weather in 2021.

  • A conflict between social / societal control / regulation / reglementation / responsibility and embodying Freedom?
  • Clash between control of society / organization / planning of ‘The System’ by elite authority figures and organic liberation?
  • Technocracy vs Biosphere? ‘Bio-Security’?!
  • (More?) Disruptive effects on the economy having dire / challenging consequences for society / humanity?
  • Bio disruption – where is freedom? And what are the effects on Nature and the future of our beautiful Planet?
  • Our authority and responsibility as humans and as humanity – to heal rather than to create more trauma.
  • Spiritual teachings about liberation – emBodying them in community and in the human web.

 

SATURN in AQ goes into Air Trine with the North Node in GEMINI,
exact on Apr 24.
Time to discuss, for open dialogue, to ask questions, offer information, learn from each other – in a post-hierarchical / post-controlling society – wouldn’t that be great?!

 

SATURN will (as every year) go retro for 4 1/2 months, May 23 – Oct 10, 2020.
In the range between 13º 31′ – 6º 53 AQ.

A time to go inward-backward, into personal experience, and with SATURN also into societal history, to evaluate lessons and how they have strengthened out inner authority and responsibility – as part of our human network, rather than giving it away to external forces.

More about it of course, as we get closer to the happening.

 

 

SATURN in AQ in YOUR Chart…

…shows where YOU are called to be in community collaboration, rather than going into separation, which areas of life call you for that (relationships, career, creativity…), and in which other dynamics (Aspects to your Planets) – to be discussed individually.

If you have SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets in AQ, and for all of us, where AQ is in our charts, this is a more than 2-year Initiation phase to cultivate social & societal responsibility – and Freedom from within.
Your as Our Humanity Matters!

So – here are keywords for the astrological Houses.
Whichever one/s you have AQ in points to the area of life where community, collaboration, friendship, free spiritedness, are knocking on your door. 
SATURN’s entry into it is an initiation for more humanity and freedom. If you’re on good terms with SATURN you should be in good shape, lol.

And JUPITER travels through as well throughout 2021 – not just tests and challenges, but lots of opportunities coming your way in those areas of life. 

 

1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self

2nd House
Your Values, what you own, literally & metaphorically, your Business

3rd House
Your Environment

4th House

Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?

  • If you were born between Feb 1991 – Jan 1994 you’ll have your 1st SATURN Return (round age 28 – 30).
  • If you were born between Jan 1962 – March 1964, and Sept – Dec 1964, this will be your 2nd SATURN Return (round age 57 – 59).
  • And if you were born between March – Aug 1932, and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935 you’ll have your 3rd SATURN Return (round age 86 – 88).

Full Circle to be in your Natural Authority, and to show up in your best in community & society!
Could be a good time to check in with trusted cosmic reference & co-exploration.

 

 

Blessings to all of us for the epic Winter Solstice, and an uplifting, light bringing finale of 2020, with SATURN leading on into AQ, followed and passed by JUPITER!

May the challenges bring out our Best, and strengthen our natural networks of friendship, community, and in the Human Team!

Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

VENUS crosses the ‘Phoenix Point’ into SAG on Dec 15: Love A-Rising, Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty

13 Dec

Dear Astro~News Friend, and Cosmic Co-Explorer,

Phoenix Beauty – Artist unknown

And here she comes!

VENUS comes out of SCORPIO, and spreads her wings like a Phoenix.

 

She’s the last heavenly body to leave SCO and rise up in SAG:

The SUN has been in SAG since Nov 21 – Season of raising vibrations, cultivating inner Heart Light, and living in Freedom.

Truth speaking is kicking in now, with MERCURY in SAG (Dec 1 – 20).

 

And now: VENUS. The Love Goddess has been in her yearly ‘Underworld Journey’ in SCORPIO since Nov 21. Not exactly one of her fave places to dwell in – polar opposite of yummy sensual TAURUS which VENUS rules – but: there’s beauty in the deep & dark… (as long as we don’t get stuck there and let its energy control us).  After we’ve been (with VENUS in SCO) fascinated by and magnetized to uncomfortable, painful, intense, disturbing, yet hopefully (esp. emotionally) transformational experiences, the energy can rise again, and we’re drawn to the Light.

 

 

And Light IS coming in, in many ways, during VENUS’s journey in SAG (Dec 15 – Jan 8).

What a phase!
It covers a whole series of exceptional shifts and lifts of energy in the next 3 weeks of transition out of 2020 into 2021:

 

  • NEW MOON / Total Solar Eclipse in SAG on Dec 14 – just before VENUS enters SAG

  • CHIRON goes from retro to direct again on Dec 15

  • SATURN enters AQ on Dec 16

  • JUPITER enters AQ on Dec 19

  • JUPITER aligns with SATURN in their ‘Great Conjunction’ (ending a 20-year socio-political-economic cycle, and starting a new one) on the 1st degree of AQ, at Winter Solstice, Dec 21!

  • MARS in ARIES meets his mythological sister, the Asteroid ERIS (Goddess of Discord) one more time, on Dec 22 (was already on Aug 15 and Oct 6) and squares (his transpersonal octave) PLUTO in CAP the day after (Dec 23), also for the 3rd of 3 times.

  • ‘Wild’ LILITH in TAU meets unpredictable / disruptive / liberating URANUS (every 10 years) on Dec 23

  • Christmas 2020

  • CANCER – CAP Full Moon on Dec 29

  • Transition OUT of 2020 into 2021

  • MARS leaves ARIES where it’s been excessively long – more than 1/2 year – , incl. MARS retro 09/09 – 10/13, entering TAU on Jan 6.

  • VENUS goes over the ‘Integrity Point’ from SAG to CAP on Jan 8 (until Feb 1)

 

 

‘Dates’ of VENUS in SAG (Dec 15 – Jan 8) with other Planetary ‘Players’:


DEC 17
The MOON in early AQ (which SATURN already entered, and JUPITER follows) in sextile with VENUS in early SAG
Freedom, friendship, truth, independence. 
Beautiful welcome into the season of Light.

 

DEC 19 (building up a few days prior)
VENUS in early SAG in Fire Trine with CHIRON stat. (came out of retro on Dec 15) in early ARIES.
Putting out loving Heart arrows & Truth bombs brings us right into the moment.
Being fresh & free, authentic & lovingly truthful with one another is healing.

Also on DEC 19
The MOON in early PISCES squares VENUS in early SAG.
In Wonderland. Magical Mystery Tour.
Watch a movie… disappear in a book… dance, play music, dream, envision.
Life IS a movie, a game, a journey.
And check out how life in 2020 is more surreal than any dream. What’s the story line?

 

DEC 20 (also with build-up time)
VENUS in early SAG in quincunx with URANUS retro in early TAURUS (ruled by VENUS).
Moving in space and gifting brings joy.
How about
(rather than habitually accumulating & consuming) releasing what you’ve been attached to / ‘sitting on’?

EmBody Freedom!

 

DEC 22 – right after Winter SoUlstice, birthing the JUPITER – SATURN alignment!
The MOON in ARIES in Fire Trine with VENUS in SAG
Adventure calling. Make a move.
Try on / out something new, and see how you feel in / about it.

 

DEC 27
The MOON / North Node in GEM oppose VENUS / South Node in SAG
Let’s cultivate questions and dialogues that raise vibrations, open up hearts, and help connect the puzzle pieces.

 

DEC 30
VENUS in SAG squares NEPTUNE (‘her higher octave’) in PISCES.
Living & Loving in LaLaLand? ONEderful for music, dance, romance.
This transit can ignite big hopes and dreams, and allow us to be open to attract through uplifted vibrations, to receive blessings and see miracles.
A low vibration would be (buying into) over promising, esp. in matters of Love but hey, it’s 2020, applied to loooots of illusions / delusions / with disappointments / disillusionment to follow, sooner or later. 
Thankfully,
CAP energy, compliments the SUN and PLUTO, helps with being realistic, grounded, and in integrity.

 

DEC 31
VENUS in SAG meets the South Node.
No need to get drawn to ‘old stories’ that are barely sustained by old beliefs. Notice when attraction leads to loss of energy…

 

JAN 2
The MOON in LEO in Fire Trine with VENUS in SAG
Let the good times roll, celebrate the Day, Life, and perhaps: having made it through 2020.

 

JAN 4
The MOON in late VIR squares VENUS in late SAG (the Galactic Centre)
Yeah-yeah, we need to look after things and be practical-reasonable – but hey, this Heart Calling….!

 

JAN 6
The MOON at the end of LIBRA (ruled by VENUS) – the ‘Tipping Point’ – in sextile with VENUS at the end of SAG – the ‘Integrity Point’
That’s the point: Choosing from Inner Truth and Integrity

 

JAN 8
VENUS enters CAP (until Feb 1) – where she’ll meet PLUTO on Jan 28.
Rock-solid and soulful LOVE that’s real. Power to Love.

 

 

VENUS in SAG in Your Chart & Life…

Galactic Total Solar Release Eclipse in SAG (Dec 14) – End of Old Story. Into the Heart of the Deep Unknowable.

12 Dec

Dear Fellow Cosmic Traveler on Planet Earth!

The Epic Total Solar Eclipse in SAG on Dec 14, 2020 is on the Horizon…
The max. Eclipse will be at 8:13 am PST (the path goes over South America), followed by the exact New Moon at 8:17 am PST.

 

Total Solar Eclipse – revealing the Solar Corona

 

It’s the 3rd of the three most important New Moons in the last 12 months, all three at critical points in the cosmic wheel of the year:

Dec 25/26, 2019:
The Christmas / Boxing Day (close to Winter Solstice) Ring of Fire Super CAP Annular Release Solar Eclipse –
Out of the Old Paradigm. Into New Ways of Being.


June 20/21, 2020:
The 1º CANCER New Moon / Summer Solstice Annular Solar Seed Eclipse – A New Beginning for the Human Family

Dec 14, 2020:
The late SAG
(close to the Galactic Centre – which is from Earth perspective between 26 – 28º SAG) Total Solar Eclipse –
End of Old Story. Into the Heart of the Deep Unknowable.

Dec 17 – 19 is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

With the Total Solar Eclipse on Dec 14, a galactic portal opens where the Old & dense is being absorbed, and New Light comes in, via the Aquarian Shift (see below) – leading over to Winter SoUlstice.

What a cosmic orchestration!

 

All three Eclipses are either Annular or Total Solar Eclipses, where the lunar disk moves from Earth perspective in front of the solar disk, covering almost completely, leaving only a fiery ring (annular) or fine line (total) of the solar disk to be seen, revealing the solar corona(!).

Early on in the 2020 mega crisis, when I consulted Wiki re: meaning and origin of the name Corona Virus, I was stunned to find:
“The name “corona virus” is derived from the Latin corona and the Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, “garland, wreath”), meaning crown or halo.
The name refers to the characteristic appearance of virions (the infective form of the virus) by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona.”

 


Are we coming to the crowning finale of the eventful and catalytic crisis 2020 – and even of an era?
What’s your sense?
Feels certainly so to me, and there’s cosmic occurrences to back it up.
Let’s look at the  Ecliptic Arch of the Year:

 

Boxing Day 2019 Release Eclipse –

The Beginning of the End of the Old Empire…
i.e., of the hierarchical, patriarchal, exploiting and abusive, materialistic, opportunistic, unsustainable, fear based / fear inducing paradigms and structures built based on it.
The cosmic time stamp on Boxing Day – pointing via ecliptic black-out to how consumer-capitalistic humanity has distorted the sacred time of Light Returning – at the detriment of Mother Earth and her Beings.

Jump through / out of the Ring of Fire as in: the crowns of authority & control by the Old Emperors, and into New Ways of Being!
Claim & live the unalienable sovereignty of Self.

 

Summer Solstice 2020 Annular Seed Eclipse –

A New Beginning / Birthing in the Human Family, out of the womb / cocoon, after retreating from the old paradigm. The Ring of Fire may well represent the crowning of the Birth of the New Humanity.

 

Galactic 2020 Total Solar Release Eclipse –

Sealing off the Ending of the Old World, Old Ways, Old Stories & Beliefs – which at this point in evolution would take us down the ‘rabbit hole’ / into the black hole. Rien ne va plus.

Ecliptic ‘lights off’, re: the old story / propaganda / agenda, old games, old hope and trust – as we know it… which have led Us the People to give power and authority away. JUPITER / PLUTO / SATURN in CAP 2020 have pointed to this once and for all revelation, and ‘real life’ has shown us so much about it, in ever so intense and obvious, or yet still covert / hidden / trapped ways.

Humanity is in the birth canal  / cocoon, before emerging – together.

Have you noticed? Such a time to (re?)connect & share with light-spirited kindred soul families who help each other in the emergence, and co-create inspiring and contagious ‘ripple effects’ in the morpho field. Onto a new heart directed path of co-creation!

This Solar Eclipse is not ‘just’ an annular one like the other two but a Total one.
The Old Empire has expired.

We the People (represented by the MOON) are stepping up and ‘unfollowing’ the govern-mental agenda.
We choose not to believe (anymore) in ‘too good to be true’ / ‘too bad to be true’ sensationalized / blown up
(SAG) manipulative ‘news’ / fear & panic inducing propaganda (NEPTUNE in PISCES squaring the Eclipse, and was already squaring the PLE on Nov 30).

We’re not being guilt-tripped by self proclaimed teaching-preaching-moralizing authority (SAG – CAP shadows).

We follow the Truth in our Hearts.

 

With the New Moon / TSE so close to the Galactic Centre, it’s a time to pour out / let go of old stories, beliefs, assumptions, agenda, propaganda (‘theirs’, ours).

What do we / what do they know???
What really IS the Truth?

And to embark on a journey of ultimate trust into the Unknown and Unknowable.
Light will return. That’s the cycle of life.

Every evolutionary crisis comes to a point where the energy intensity has spun out to the max –  the Turning Point (which is also a Point of No Return to the pre-crisis state). No way back to the ‘womb’ / ‘cocoon’ / ‘sleep’ / semi-conscious state / the old ‘known’.

Not to say we’re moving to the hijacked propaganda program of the ‘new normal’. Nope. Just check in quickly how it makes you feel – vs being in Heart Consciousness.

 

Morpho rhetenor rhetenor Butterfly

New LIFE and new freer and more conscious & evolved ways of Being are emerging. 
Showing up with new authenticity is the Medicine of NOW – says also CHIRON in ARIES, so prominent in 2020 (and came with the Spring Equinox New Moon on March 24 when ‘The New World’ began).
CHIRON turns from retro since July 11 (we’ve been processing the old ‘medicine’, while being internally initiated into the emergence of / as the New) to direct again on Dec 15 – just one day after the TSE – on the same degree(!) that showed up for the Spring Equinox (yes, 9 months ago) ARIES New Moon that came with LILITH & CHIRON on March 24:

A TRIANGLE WITH WINGS – The capacity for self-transcending.
A New Dimension of Being is envisioned, mobilizing creative endeavors.

Looks like the CHIRON in ARIES Medicine wants to get our attention big time this year!

 

So, let’s take a look at the Cosmic Map of the 

Galactic / End of SAG New Moon / Total Solar Release Eclipse on Dec 14, 2020

The max. Eclipse will be at 8:13 am PST, followed by the exact New Moon at 8:17 am PST.
More indicators that the Eclipse (happening in the dark-before-New Moon phase, and as a South Node Eclipse) is all about releasing the Old.

So here’s the Bigger Picture –
SO much in it / to it, all coming out like from a ‘Pandora’s Box’!


All the Planetary / SoLunar Players are situated in one half of the heavens, between the SCO-to-SAG Phoenix Point (VENUS) and GEMINI (North Node) – with strong gravitations…

  • Starting with VENUS – She’s about to cross over the ‘Phoenix Point’ into SAG on Dec 15, the day after / catalyzed by the Eclipse –
    Love A-Rising, Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty


  • In SAG: South Node / New Moon – Total Solar Eclipse & MERCURY – all in square with NEPTUNE retro in PISCES.
    End of Old Story / beliefs / propaganda, based on illusion / media manipulation (and / or on addictions to toxic / addictive ‘bubbles’, incl. the ‘Victim – Perpetrator – Saviour’ codependency triad- see below, under historic cycles, apropos PISCES Age paradigms) – back into our Heart Truth & Freedom.

  • End of CAP: PLUTO, JUPITER (entering AQ on Dec 19), SATURN (entering AQ on Dec 16) – both aligning at Winter Solstice!
    How can we truly outgrow the old Matrix?
    The emphasis is on ‘WE’, as AQ is calling. Like-spirited / light-spirited group consciousness leads the way.

    Clearly, the Eclipse is a catalyst for the grand finale of the Old & shift into AQ!
    A New Era for Our Humanity!
    Stay tuned for a special blog post, in the next days! 

    Some thoughts below…

  • CHIRON in early ARIES, going out of retro / direct again on Dec 15 (day after the Eclipse!) – The Medicine of Showing up a-New, with Your Authentic Way of Being

    MARS also in ARIES
    (Since June 27, incl retro phase Sept 9 – Nov 13) now in its last phase, about to finally pass ERIS (Goddess of Discord) and to square PLUTO in CAP, on Dec 22 / 23.

    Connecting with Soul Power and acting from there strengthens the genuine Inner Warrior and uses energy for a Higher Purpose (beyond polarizing strive).
    MARS will come out of its ‘shadow phase’ early Jan (passing 28º ARIES from which it turned retro on Sept 9), and go into TAU on Jan 6 – to square SATURN & JUPITER, and unite with stationary URANUS (Jan 13, 20, 22). Definitely no boredom in January!

  • Unaspected, yet sitting together: LILITH & URANUS retro in TAU:
    Embodying Freedom is a HUGE ‘revolutionary act’ these days.
    The ruling Planet of AQ, URANUS, presently retro (until Jan 14 – so it will be throughout Jan a stationary focus – and the last slower moving Planet to go out of retro) will be met by LILITH soon, on Dec 23 (now building up) – just 2 days after the JUPITER – SATURN conjunction on the 1st degree of AQ!
    The alignment of these two liberating forces happens only every about 10 years! 
    EmBodying unconditional ‘wild’ Freedom as Nature, and on the New Earth!
    Our Body (TAU) is wild & free & wise & organic as Nature

    More earthy-liberating boost to come via MARS, entering TAU also, on Jan 6 / 7!

  • And of course – opposite the Eclipse: The North Node in GEMINI.
    Questioning the Old Story. Entering New Dialogues.

 

The TSE is at the End of SAG – Double SAG

In the Decanates Model (undertones of the three 10º segments of each Zodiac sign) that I’ve been working with and have found to be very informative and helpful…

  • The first 10º have an undertone of the cardinal sign in that element (e.g. for GEMINI it’s LIBRA, for TAURUS it’s CAP…)

  • The central 10º have an undertone of the fixed sign in that element (e.g. or SAG it’s LEO, for PISCES it’s SCORPIO…)

  • The last 10º have an undertone of the mutable sign in that element (e.g. for CAP it’s VIR, for ARIES it’s SAG)


If
your birthday is at the beginning of a sign (let’s say: May 25, Dec 23, July 24), your Zodiac sign has a cardinal undertone:

For GEM: LIBRA, for CAP: CAP, for LEO: ARIES, etc. – interesting, hey?
Of course, this model can be applied to your MOON, all of your Planets, Nodes, and your AC too.
Worth checking out – be surprised how it makes sense (SAG), and what additional info can be gleaned from it (GEM)!

 

If you’ve been using Astrology and would like to learn more about this Decanates Model please feel welcome to get in touch.
Very cool to have instantly-easily more information about placements of SUN / MOON / Planets / Nodes, AC / MC in the Zodiac.

YES – GEMINI where the North Node is in now since the last Lunar Eclipse in SAG – GEM on June 5 / 6, 2020, and until Dec 23, 2021 years is about learning new things… 

We can set up a 1-on-1 Astro mentoring session with this Decanates Focus. 
And I might offer an online / in-person workshop in the next while.
Let me know if you’re interested.

 

Late SAG has a SAG Undertone

What does that mean for the Eclipse New Moon?

* The MOON is at the end (23º) of SAG – with SAG undertone.

  • Releasing of old stories, beliefs, propaganda, agenda  (SAG shadows)
  • Detecting lies & manipulation (TSE square to NEPTUNE)
  • Rising above the polarization of right & wrong
  • Truth & trust are huge this year – and season. 
    (In) whom and what can you trust?
    As old ‘models’ of trust (that give power & authority away) are dying, Deep intrinsic Trust is (re)activated now.
  • Openness in the Heart Journey of Evolution
  • Light prevails and shall return.

 


Speaking of degrees: Of course – let’s explore (SAG) and gain understanding from the picture (SAG) of the

Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Degree

The New MOON at 8:17 am PST will be at 23º 08′ SAG.
The Total Solar Eclipse will be already at 8:13 am PST.

SAGITTARIUS 23°: 
“A GROUP OF IMMIGRANTS AS THEY FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF ENTRANCE INTO THE NEW COUNTRY

KEYNOTE: Consciously accepting the ways of a new stage of experience, in readiness for the opportunities it will present

As we pass any threshold leading to a new realm of existence we have to meet certain requirements and the necessity to adjust to new ways of life – in action, thought and feeling. At times this may seem an ordeal but it is inevitable. Everything that will follow depends largely on how we cross this threshold, and on the spirit in which we meet unfamiliar and perhaps shocking experiences.

At this third stage of the fifty-third five-fold sequence we face a combination of the two preceding symbols [ 21º SAG: The use of imagination and make-believe in anticipating higher stages of development / LEARNING THROUGH IMITATION and 21º SAG: Making use of one’s special racial-cultural background in order to survive and prosper in an alien environment / SELF-CONTAINMENT ]. 
We find ourselves in a period of TRANSITION. We have to imitate, yet retain our inner integrity.”

 

Humanity IS in a huge transition now, that’s for sure.
Question is: Who calls the shots (pun intended), when it comes to
THE REQUIREMENTS OF ENTRANCE INTO THE NEW COUNTRY?!


As the 2020 situation presents itself, not so much the democratic / pluralistic / free and well informed voice of Us the People of the World, but heavily lobbied and remotely controlled governments in overdrive.
Where is Power
(PLUTO) and Authority (SATURN)?
See below: Old historic cycles ending.

Who benefits? Is always another cool question to ask.
Here: …when it comes to the measures and new ‘requirements’ – to put it mildly’ – established, for freedom of movement and self expression.
And: Who / what’s used to blame, as scapegoat, and an excuse
(CAP shadow) for another purpose?

Buuut – remember / good news: We’re dealing here with a South Node / Release Eclipse.

The old shadows of governments and bureaucratic institutions (CAP) imposing ‘entrance requirements’ for the promise of a life with new opportunities (SAG) is another to be released ‘story’ since it’s highly questionable (GEM).
Don’t believe everything you’re told / esp. repeatedly – doesn’t become more true (Ecliptic SAG South Node with MERCURY).
Let’s question, ask, research, learn, and dialogue with one another (GEM North Node).
After all: The Old Empires Expire in front of our very eyes. 
Why being subject to / objectified by a New Empire then?

Integrity of body – mind – spirit – soul is key.
Unalienable.

 

As for the migration (SAG – movement, space & freedom – and the specific 23°) to ‘a new country’, rather than regressing (South Node) into a new version of the old world of top-down control mechanisms that promise freedom (SAG / AQ) – IF we play their game & meet their requirements…
Here’s the golden opportunity to say farewell, let go of that ‘promise’ with a fine print, and choose a-new, from the Truth of our Heart
(SAG), and in CommUnity (AQ is coming) with like- and light-spirited co-Journeyers.

 

With the 2-1-0 theme that comes up so much this year, dates wise, incl. 21-12-2020 (more about this below)
Beyond polarization (2) – not being trapped in ‘us and them’
(soooo much energy is – understandably – being invested in that this year, but is reactive and ultimately draining), going into unity (1) and zero point consciousness (0) and being in choiceless awareness of what IS – while ‘freely moving in space’ (SAG).

 

Where in your chart is late SAG?

That’s where the Galactic Total Solar Eclipse calls you to release old ‘Stories’, beliefs, agenda, narratives (incl. your own!), while reconnecting with your Heart Truth which opens up space & freedom.

 

Here’s a reference list for the astrological Houses.
The House where late SAG is in your chart relates to the area of life where you’re going through a ‘light switch’ effect via the Total Solar Eclipse.

 

1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self

2nd House
Your Values, your Body, what you own, literally & metaphorically, your Business

3rd House
You in Your Local Environment

4th House
You and Your Home, Origin, Ancestry

5th House
Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover

6th House
Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle

7th House
Your Partners & Significant Others

What gives you Meaning, Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels

10th House
Your Purpose incl Career, Your Public Self

11th House
Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends

12th House
Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.

 

 

Since this pre-Solstice Time with the so instrumental Total Solar Release Eclipse is a lot about closures, let’s briefly review!

3 Historic Cycles Ending in 2020

…via SATURN – PLUTO, JUPITER – PLUTO, and JUPITER – SATURN

The first two closure themes (SATURN – PLUTO, and JUPITER – PLUTO) happened in CAP which rules time and history.
The energy is heavy, solid and dense – well, CAP rules mountains.

Yet, AQ which is coming in big time from Dec 16 / 19 on, via SATURN & JUPITER is the AIR we share – clouds if you will…

 

1) Right at the beginning of the year, on Jan 12, 2020 (again, the date is composed of 0’s, 1’s and 2’s) we saw the SATURN – PLUTO conjunction in CAP – with a huge CAP ‘entourage’.

SATURN & PLUTO align every 37 – 38 years (last time 1982) – a shift in power and authority, not without a structural / societal crisis, and crisis in consciousness –  a struggle with the ‘Old Regime’ / ‘Old Matrix’ – while a birthing process out of it is underway.
It hasn’t happened in CAP (where it’s about ancient traditions and structures built based on them) since 1518 when the Reformation started, as Martin Luther called out the institution Church for not being in integrity with its core teachings.

Over time, culminating this year, the status quo ‘ruling Empires’ have shown their abusive / control shadows, when it comes to disrespecting Nature and People (PLUTO in CAP), yet the ‘house of cards’ is crumbling / collapsing…
…as more and more ‘regular people’, experts and specialists in their fields (AQ) who individually and in groups present their research to the public, and voice their understanding / concern / critique for the common good have been shut down, dismissed and labelled as weirdos, conspiracy theorists, etc.

SATURN already went into AQ for a test phase March 20 – July 1, 2020 – We the People! Preserving Freedom in the Face of F.E.A.R. – which of course triggered a lot of polarization and verbal wars (GEMINI strong this year, and MARS in ARIES since end of June) and took us to the interface of government / laws / institutions (CAP) and society (AQ).

What’s with equality, democracy, and free speech, and other core human / constitutional rights (SATURN & PLUTO in CAP)?!
The patriarchy / the ones on top know better, and you better listen up and obey
(old school CAP, intensified).

Can the system change from within, or does the evolution (PLUTO) require a structural change (PLUTO / SATURN)?

That’s of course where the ‘high level answer’ of the ‘Great Reset’ is presented, coined by / about to be rolled out by the World Economic Forum – which calls itself online now weforum (how nice-ly suggestive).
The WEF pulls the strings re: intern. economies and has been high level instrumental in the ‘Old Regime’ governance – (CAP).

I have a bad gut sense and am very skeptical (GEM) about how that concept is presented, and what it entails:
Even more global / centralized governmental & behind the scenes control, a completely inter-linked world, loss of privacy through human transparency, incl. ‘biotech security’.

A ‘next level’ beyond-CAP Aquarian technocratic dystopia.
The future of Society / Humanity???

Not ‘just’ the content but the context – not just the WHAT but the HOW this ‘New System for everything’ is being presented as a panacea.
With (SAG South Node shadow of) teacher / preacher like arrogance: “We know better what’s good for you.” “We have the solution”. Persuasive marketing.

Buyers beware – don’t buy into it without due diligence / examining / educating yourself / researching / questioning (GEMINI North Node).
Open discussion required, rather than just an old style top-down roll-out of what’s ‘good for all of us’.
Beware of false prophets / salespeople / newspeak with an agenda (SAG South Node, hugely emphasized by the TSE).

The so-called ‘Great Reset’ (a not so great set-up i.m.o. – do your own research!) and the wave of other top-down presented / ordered ‘solutions’ this year are also indicators that we’ve reached the last wave of the PISCES Age (as seen via NEPTUNE in PI, 2012 – 2026).

The ending / out-flowing historic era has been characterized by the co-dependent Triad of Victim (the People / individuals / whoever is identified or self identifies as victim) – Perpetrator (the attacker, the threat, etc, fill in the blanks) – Savior (the guru, the government, the self proclaimed, appointed or, as originally: the spiritual leader). Saviors and Victims can turn into Martyrs too.

All ‘players’ in the triad are co-dependent on each other. If one of them steps out of the particular triad system becomes obsolete (while it tends to re-establish itself & multiply with other ‘volunteers’ since it’s very seductive / has a strong pull – thus far).
And yes, typically, the Savior is on top of the triad / pyramid, overseeing the situation, and if needed, waging ‘Holy Wars’ against perpetrators – or other saviors, and creating more (actual) victims.

As Humanity is growing up (PLUTO in CAP) we’re now at a point where we can see the system / game from the perspective of the ‘top’ (CAP) – and from a witness perspective (AQ) looking at the whole system, rather than being unconsciously pawns in it.
As we’re transitioning more and more into AQ (via PLUTO in 2023 / 24) the hierarchy as we know it turns into a circle, and being part of a collective (PI) turns into more autonomy and eclectic association. Freedom and equality are keys.

 

2) We’ve also through the triple JUPITER – PLUTO conjunction in 2020 (Apr 4, June 29, Nov 12).

It closed a 13-year cycle since 2007 when they aligned end of SAG – the Galactic Centre, and ‘home’ of  the ‘Big One’ – while this year, JUPITER has been in its ‘detriment’ / ‘fall’ in CAP where ‘The Greater Good’ has turned into a massive serious endeavour – with intense shadow effects (PLUTO) being revealed through extremes where there’s dire need for change in the system.
Now we see how the notion for ‘more is better’ and ‘we know better’ (SAG) can turn into (even well meaning yet still within the old paradigm) ‘more government’, ‘more rules and restrictions’ (CAP). 

The fact that the JUPITER – PLUTO alignment showed up 3 times (rather than once) and even SATURN was nearby  throughout 2020 shows, it’s really a Big Deal – affecting all humans on Planet Earth, when it comes to basic infrastructures, relationships to laws and governance, resources and time, judgment, fault, blame, responsibility, far reaching & long term consequences.

So – a new JUPITER – PLUTO cycle has started in CAP???
I’d rather say, the emphasis is on the ending of a big era – indicated by SATURN – PLUTO in CAP.
CAP has to do with time and history, and literally with what’s old and had its time.
Yet, what’s timeless and what we’re invited to carry over into the co-creative NEW is Working with Deep Soul Power, for the Highest Good.

 

3) The third cycle closure (JUPITER – SATURN) is coming – at Winter Solstice!

A 20-year socio-political-economic and cultural cycle.
It started in May 2000 with the last JUPITER – SATURN conjunction in super-earthy TAURUS.

Since then, we’ve seen massive evidence for Taurean phenomena in society and economy as in:

  • Big boost of consumer capitalism – at the detriment of Mother Earth.
  • Monetary roller-coasters, and cryptocurrency experimentation (leading up to URANUS in TAU since 2018/19)
  • Building / real estate boom – living in big cities became unaffordable for most people who’re not investors / owners
  • Housing market crash 2008 
  • Trend towards healthier, organic food (for those who can afford it) and gardening

 

This year, with URANUS in TAU (since 2019, first time since 1934 – 1942!) we’ve seen massive disruptions to the economy. You know the details.

While the JUPITER – SATURN cycle that started in TAU comes to an end, and both Planets align in the sign of URANUS, AQUARIUS.

Society and economy as we know it will drastically change.
Sharing (AQ) vs owning & solo consuming
(TAU)
Collaboration in networks and communities
Not just because it’s a necessity
(SATURN) but also because there’s so much opportunity and potential (JUPITER) for the future of humanity and of interrelated bio-systems (AQ).

Since we’re talking post-CAP world too, it’s not a ‘new system / model’ that comes ‘down on humanity’ but like a mycelial underground network the interconnected system mushrooms organically 🙂
The intelligence of Nature is our Teacher – finally, again.

 

I invite you to review, honour, and release with gratitude the Old and leaving, when it comes to the historic year 2020, or also for longer cycles in history or in your own life, in the days before and around the Total Solar Eclipse and the week into Winter Solstice.


Which clears the AIR to invite what’s to come.

 

Speaking of Lights on & Light Returning:
The TSE on Dec 14 can’t be seen without the bridge over to the
NEW and Co-creative / Visionary / Experimentally Future Oriented 

Winter Solstice Alignment of JUPITER & SATURN at 1º AQ 

What a marker on this Sacred Day of Light Returning!

 

 

The Heart of the Nov / Dec Eclipse Season leads into huge shifts for Winter Solstice. And a grand finale / grand transition alignment from 2020 into 2021!
I’m sure you’re feeling it…

No wonder it’s an intense time, and so much else is going on in the Heavens and on Earth, as JUPITER and SATURN are literally in the last WEEK of CAP before they almost simultaneously move into AQUARIUS (Dec 16 / 19) and align at 1º AQ – on Dec 21, 2020 at 10:21 am PST, just 8 hrs after Winter Solstice at 2:02 am PST – on 12/21/2020!


Whoa – striking all these 0’s, 1’s and 2’s.
In Tarot the respective Major Arcana cards are

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card 0 – Fool-Child – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

0 = Fool / Child – Pure Potentiality
Openness, innocence, fresh beginnings, baby steps.
Goes with CHIRON in ARIES
(going direct on Dec 15) – the Medicine of Authenticity.

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card I – Magician – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

1 = Magician – Power & Manifestation
How do you use your power to create?
How are you the change you wish to see?
You are more powerful than you might ‘think’ (esp. in 2020).
Your words, your actions, your love – they help transform the world.
Don’t give power away / project it onto ‘them’, and find deep inalienable power within.
A PLUTO in CAP (still with us until 2023 / 24) theme. MARS squares PLUTO on Dec 23 – put Soul Power into action.

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card II – Priestess – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 

2 = Priestess – Sacred Feminine
Our life and our body is a Temple.
Being in alignment with your cosmic self keeps you in integrity. Doing the work and being in service in an intentional, clear way, connected with Spirit / Higher Self.
Everything is spiritual practice.

 

 

 

Since early AQ has a LIBRA undertone we’re called to make choices, and it’s about relationship:

  • Do you choose the dense and old & told, or the light and new way of Being?
  • Do you choose polarity / duality (2), or oneness / unity (1), and: Zero Point Consciousness?
  • Who are your People with whom you’re on a wave length, and in synch & synergy?
  • Time to co-create in a new consciousness.

JUPITER in AQ (Dec 19, 2020 – May 13, 2021 & July 28 – Dec 28, 2021).

 

So many blessings for the Galactic Light Journey!

ASTRO CONSULTATIONS 

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
