On Monday, it was Mercury doin’ the quickie with the constituents of the Pluto-Saturn square (which has been around long enough to be the 51st State), making good its getaway from both, come retrograde or high water. Today, the Moon in Libra, comes off its overnight stand with the Dynamic Duo with enough steam to square Mercury before lunch in most of North America. No wonder Luna is looking a little bent as it rounds toward another New Moon late in a sign (this time Sagittarius) in less than a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then less than a week after that the whole solar system gets into the spirit of bustin’ loose when the rarest (and longest) of inner planet retrogrades (Mars in Leo) is closely followed by an auspicious solstice. The solstice finally brings the Sun itself into and through that long cardinal square (Saturn-Pluto) that will define our epoch. Eventually it will involve two more colorful gas giants that dominate and dictate the curvature of space-time (Jupiter and Uranus). Oh sister Artemis, you lead us down a doughty path, your silver cresset stirring us to follow.<\/p>\n

But first, let us not forget the Sun’s trine to Mars which will exact this afternoon, evening or very early tomorrow, depending on where in the world you are. Mutable fire flowing to fixed fire, preparing the transition to Cardinal earth at flip time. It’s the image of fire before or even on the cold, austere mountain when the eternal wrestling match once again gradually turns its favor from the southern contestant to the challenger from the north. It’s a long process but it has to begin somewhere and with Eris now inside of 21 degrees on its own retrograde, the grand firer trine, initiating transition, is completed with a nod towards a new age that cannot be suppressed by convention or held back by definition.<\/p>\n

The edge of consciousness has moved out and awareness is flowing to fill in the expanded area. A new radius is sweeping its longer arm out towards the galaxy. A longer diameter is tracing a longer circumference which in turn is starting a new and longer cycle which will include that previously excluded, just as Jimi Hendrix (a Sagittarian) included distortion and feedback in his repertoire, expanding his ability to express his (and OUR) expanded consciousness. The imperative of geometry, the inertia of the curve, cannot be denied.<\/p>\n

As Venus enters twixt the long opposition of Pholus and Chaos (not incidentally, applying to trine Mars in turn) the concept of a catalyst (that which precipitates a chemical reaction without being intimately involved in the exchange of bonds) will take shape in our personal lives. Go easy, a small gesture can have big repercussions. Be thoughtful, once set in motion the momentum of our words can seldom be turned. The cosmos is asking us to take greater responsibility and those who can do so gracefully will find the greatest balance and the firmest foothold.<\/p>\n

As Jupiter today winks at Uranus (as if their semi-sextile is a knowing expression of what is to come) let us gift each other with openness tempered by acceptance so that we each can learn to do the same for ourselves. Knowing that it is indeed possible to embrace without grapple.<\/p>\n
