“I often say that in making dances i can make a world where i think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.” – Twyla Tharp<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the weekend began, we closed the previous installment of Daily Astrology with T.S. Eliot’s observation relating the “still point of the changing world” to dance. This Monday of a morning we find representations of dance all over the zodiac. The key is to be aware of the which and the who with.<\/p>\n

The Sabian symbol for the Sun’s position at eight degrees Virgo is much ado about a poor little rich girl’s first dancing lesson. Put yourself in her position. After all the fuss in selecting a teacher and picking out her clothing, would the hard work of dance seem to be a bit of a letdown? Or would she find her self and her joy in kinesthetic expression? Is she there because of pressure from her parents or did her aspirations inspire her to ask for it? It can go either way. Which way it goes can change with time. The same can hold for the dances we find ourselves in right now.<\/p>\n

In my shy and callow youth, my late father encouraged me to go to dances. He told me it was the healthiest way to meet new people. When you think of the exercise, the sharing, the safety in numbers, the physical and social mixing that come with the territory of young people gathering to dance, one can see the wisdom. First, however one must get out of the chair, move away from the wall and take the chance of asking or accepting an offer. Today we see that reflected by several planetary aspects. Vesta (just starting her fire dance in Leo) conjunct the asteroid Hygiea the Greek goddess of health. Mercury reaching out to Venus in an applying sextile. Venus, in turn showing an encouraging response to Mars an an applying semi-sextile. The Moon in Capricorn sending reciprocal vibes to the triple conjunction in Aquarius. What a jam! Raving it up they are! Would you consider joining in? Then look for the invitation in your life today. Have courage and confidence to accept the opportunities presented as you move those energies through your system, join with them as they are offered by others.<\/p>\n

Ah, but does the shadow material come to mind? The doubt, the fear of rejection, the stern judgment of the internal parent? That pitfall, those traps do lie lurking in today’s sky in the form of a sho’ `nuff FIXED square dance between three Centaurs (Nessus at 15 Aquarius, Absolus at 15 Taurus and Chariklo at 15 Scorpio) and the asteroid Lilith at 15 degrees Leo (invoking the energy of the hypothetical “Black Moon” of the same name, currently near the end of Capricorn). Eric, of course, has gone to great lengths to teach us the perils of ignoring the energies of the centaurs, the cringes inside the suitcase that we carry while on the journey of life. But that does not mean they have to be your pals. Be aware of them yes. Deal with them, yes. Integrate them and heal the wounds, yes. But you don’t have to make them your date to today’s dance.<\/p>\n

Today is an invitation to get with the rhythm of recent and forthcoming transitions. Can you hear the base line the Sun is layin’ down in Virgo? Can you feel the hot rhythm of Venus in Leo? Or the steamy lead from Mars in Cancer? And then there’s Mercury coming out over the top of it all with a tasty harmony in Libra. Dig it.<\/p>\n

Now, as a way of transitioning into tomorrow’s Daily Astrology, imagine if you will the figure of the letter “L” followed by the figure of of the number “7” as you consider these closing words from the late, great, master of dance, Martha Graham “Every dance is a kind of fever chart, a graph of the heart.” – where will your heart be today?<\/p>\n
