The Moon is in late Pisces and Venus and Mars are close to an exact conjunction in Taurus. Yet what is pouring out of the sky right now is a cascade of information, effects and potential of the triple conjunction in Aquarius — of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune, as the Sun makes a trine to the lineup from Gemini. The Sun is also in a long conjunction with the asteroid Vesta in Gemini (article introducing Vesta is below). Trines open up the flow of energy and there is a lot of energy to open up to; and it’s being filtered by a Sun/Vesta conjunction.
Where or how we might go about applying that energy is another matter. Considering this setup, it feels great that Saturn is grounded in an Earth sign, one that knows how to organize ideas and experiences that are coming out of the sky or our DNA (as you prefer) like printer that is printing the whole computer out.
This is happening as the Sun is in the last five or six degrees of a season, spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The last days of the Sun’s trip through any sign can be challenging, and the last few days through a quarter or hemisphere can be even more intense.With Gemini, we get an over-abundance of dualism. That is a commodity that’s widely available — Gemini is calling our attention to that particular issue of what may at time feel like irreconcilable opposites.
Note also that most of what I’m describing here involves air signs. This is a great formula for mental overload, which will not begin to ease off until the Sun reaches a softer, more empathic sign on June 21 – the Cancer in gress.
Consider one last bit: the Sun is now at the exact opposition to the frantic days of mid-December before Christmas. During the day, the sky is facing out toward intergalactic space. At night this time of year, we can see the clouds toward the core of the galaxy and have some orientation on home. However, regardless of which way it’s facing, the Sun is still aligned with the Galactic Core and that is amplifying the energy and accelerating the flow of time.
So, to sum up, the Sun during the next few days is making a simultaneous set of exact aspects to Vesta, Chiron, Jupiter, Neptune and an exact opposition the core of our galaxy. Oh, I forgot Sun (in Gemini) square Uranus (in Pisces). That is a lot of aspects, so if you’re in bed at night and you feel like your house has no roof, that’s why. Personally I find that easier than thinking the roof offers any protection at all.
We do have protection, but not coming from bricks, mortar and tar paper.
personally, it’s shaping us as kind of a “wow” period for me. At least it looks like it’s going to be good — it’s still early.
But a lot of stuff is happening — I’m doing a big trip overseas with some old friends in a few weeks, I’m launching a blog about a subject that I love (with help from friends, again) and work is going great guns.
I’m a Gemini rising, and I’m reading Eric’s weekly Gemini forecasts with some amusement. He has noted that the big aspects in the sky are making Geminis feel buoyant….all true, at least by me.
Good catch – missed Jupiter retrograde. I am much more attuned to inner planet retrogrades, as for the outer planets it’s situation normal – they are Rx about 5 months a year (even Jupiter). They take weeks to station…this whole conjunction has been gradually stationing retrograde in place, one planet at a time. It’s like the whole thing is being drawn inward, and in some respects, toward the past and out of sight. I think we have a lot to go over, including our individual commitment to widespread social progress.
Maybe Jupiter rx this morning might (or might not) help with the mental overload. At least it should give us a chance to mull over the (older) info and slow down the flow of new info for a while. The degree symbol is “a tree felled & sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter”. Boots Hart (daykeeper journal) says “its station suggests a ‘turning point’ anywhere that ‘learning’ is involved. That would be a big plus for students everywhere I would think. Personally, I’m gonna chop up some wood and replace that friggin’ tar paper roof.
