This a big day in astrology, which Eric introduced yesterday. Please let us go down the lineup card. This morning the Moon entered Gemini and is applying in opposition to the Sun at 10 degrees Sagittarius. Applying is another way of saying that the Full Moon is forming, becoming exact. This will culminate in the first of two December Full Moons either late tonight or early tomorrow, depending on where in the world you are. The first of these will be in Gemini and the second, a partial lunar eclipse, will be in Cancer on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Then come many details which I will list, without an explanation, more as illustration of today’s complexity: Mercury in Sagittarius is applying to conjoin the Galactic Center, having just completed its sextile sweep of the Aquarius cluster (Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune).<\/p>\n

Venus transits from Scorpio into Sagittarius as she approaches her passage behind the Sun. Mars (still conjunct asteroid Atropos) is applying in an opposition to oppose the Aquarius alignment (but is about to go retrograde itself). Jupiter conjoins Chiron (exact next week) and both of them square Ceres. Saturn’s square with Pluto exceeds one degree of separation; it will be back, once Saturn turns retrograde early next year and applies to Pluto again.<\/p>\n

And Uranus stations direct. Neptune seems to be everywhere, in meaningful aspect to over a dozen planets, centaurs, TNOs and asteroids. Pluto closes the loop with the Sun as they split conjoining that beautiful and ill-fated couple Cyllarus and Hylonome. Eris in Aries is being aspected precisely by both Chiron and Jupiter in Aquarius.<\/p>\n

Did I mention Uranus stations forward?<\/p>\n

Of all the things going on in a busy, busy sky, this must certainly be considered the linchpin. Beginning today and for nearly three weeks, every one of The Nine are moving forward. There has been a lot of water under the bridge since that happened last. What it all means is beyond the feeble grasp of your humble correspondent, but one would hazard to guess that the flavor of its synchronicity is Uranian.<\/p>\n

Which takes us to the heart of the matter. What to do with and about Big Green. The first planet discovered by science (in 1781), it is symbolic of a headlong rush into the future that has only accelerated over a period of over two centuries. Astrologically, it upset a three-thousand year old applecart. The name, the assignation of rulership (some say, of Aquarius), the symbiosis and synergy with other planets and the luminaries all seemed so arbitrary and controversial and there has not been time to slow down and really think it over ever since.<\/p>\n

We were off the charts, past the edge of the map, into unknown waters, making it up as we go along. That’s been the pattern ever since. Also of note is that astrology entered into a largely unacknowledged and single-sided relationship with science, increasingly dependent on those (mostly male) with telescopes and exquisitely calibrated clocks. Talk about being on the down-low.<\/p>\n

So, as Uranus ends its retrograde hold out and joins the momentum, we can expect its evidently unsettled nature to be more openly and fully expressed, lending an air of uncertainty and the unexpected to the tectonic grind of Saturn-Pluto, the retro stations of first Mars, then Mercury before the end of the year and (let us not forget) this begins the last leg of its momentous first transit into Aries.<\/p>\n

How fitting that the asteroids Persephone and Pandora are sharing the first degree of Pisces. Old cycles are shifting and opening a whole new box of either whoop or whoopee depending on how we choose to take the ride. For when we are in unfamiliar territory, how are we to comport ourselves? When the old rules get us in trouble? When the old reflexes put us on our backsides? Undiscovered country this is indeed.<\/p>\n

There is an opportunity here. To learn anew. To become anew. A form of rehabilitation, if you will. We can see it as drudgery and be worn down by it. We can also choose to experience a new youth of sorts, invigorated by the risk and uncertainty. As Ol’ Green makes its way down the last few mysterious degrees of the last sign heading for the fiery light of a new season for humankind, we can find heart in the fundamental advice of Beatrix Potter. We can first and foremost stay in possession of faith that there are and will be some fortunate mysteries working. We can also get into touch with our higher selves and allow our behavior to be regulated by and aligned with how we would have others behave towards us, preferably by realizing the level of being where there is no separation.<\/p>\n

Just as Eric extended his thanks to The Many who constitute the Planet Waves community this last Thursday, please allow this humbled observer to express gratitude for being so lucky as to be the one invited to author Planet Waves on this incredible day. May we see through it together, encouraging each other to behave ourselves along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
