As Neptune prepares to station direct within arc minutes of its discovery degree in Aquarius, the Scorpio Sun today gets into the flow with a remote object that was discovered in the same degree as Neptune but over a century and a half later.
The Moon, for its part, moves from expressed harmony to confronting mystery in the course of a day. And Mars, well Mars fire walks like an Egyptian.
Welcome to election day in the United States. To those for whom politics is a passion or occupation, this is a desperate and frantic climax to months and even years of hard work and devotion. Of course, the results and their consequences of this mid-term balloting will ultimately matter to nearly every American citizen and a good many of those who are not. It’s a matter of degree and a matter of time.
Lest we take ourselves too seriously, however, Sol offers some perspective. Today the Sun demonstrates a flowing water trine that is too timely to be ignored. That aspect is with a binary system that crosses the orbit of Pluto. The names of the objects in that binary are Borasisi and Pabu.
The names are taken from a fictional novel that combined science, history and the darkest of comedy. The title of that work was Cat’s Cradle. The author was a solar Scorpio born on eleven-eleven, Kurt Vonnegut.
