Today, we transition out of the storm phase following Mercury’s recent forward station. Jupiter entered Pisces overnight, and the Moon made a conjunction to Jupiter welcoming him home. Venus comes out from behind the Sun to ingress Aquarius. Like the planets, we are now in a different place, a different time. A time to stop and look around. A place to take a conscious breath. Ahhhhh…how long ago 2009 seems to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appropriate to Capricorn, where the Sun remains for a few more days, is topography. Mercury retrograde started pragmatically enough. In his blog on December 15th “Five Minutes of Astrology” Eric launched the echo phase with an emphasis on integrity. On Auld Lang Syne, Mr. Wing-foot, also known as Mercury stationed concurrent with Mars and the opening created by a partial lunar eclipse. A week later in his blog “Weird but not too bad, so far”<\/a> Eric observed that “..it’s been pretty mellow, at least in public life.” A few days after that…<\/p>\n

Your clock can tell you when sunrise is going to occur, but your clock does not cause the Sun to come up. Carl Jung called synchronicity, an alternative to cause and effect, to account for events that occur together in a meaningful manner. In one famous incident, a large knife in a drawer spontaneously shattered into pieces when Jung and Sigmund Freud were having a tense conversation. Jung called this ‘catalytic exteriorization phenomenon’ – a physical release of non-physical tension.<\/p>\n

In astrology, squares (planets and\/or events 90 degrees apart on the zodiac circle) and oppositions (180 degrees apart) are commonly interpreted as expressions of tension. Lately, we have had a lot of that from the eclipses to the Venus exterior conjunction and the ongoing square between Saturn and Pluto (just to name the big ones). It may well be that the most recent eclipse cycle, closing as it opened with a Mercury station, found its physical release in the suffering inflicted on the people of Haiti.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, each in our own way we do what we can to heal the injury to humanity. More importantly in the long run, we must also attend to the after-effects within each one of ourselves. No human is an island. Make no mistake, we are all casualties of this event to some degree. Awareness carries the burden of responsibility precisely because we are one with.<\/p>\n

If we can accept that the tension has been released for the moment, we can proceed without the crippling dread that the trials inflicted upon the island of Hispaniola will be the fate of us all. We can un<\/em>-cringe and do what has to be done. We can take our foot off the clutch and move forward again. We can open our eyes and see clearly. We can overcome fear itself. Yes, we can, and if enough of us do, our combined courage will merge with and even direct the expressions of synchronizations yet to come.<\/p>\n

We have things to do. We have places to go and very old promises to keep. So, now as stop to gaze into the dark woods, let’s take a moment to unwind inside and let out some slack. Let’s take a moment to remember our dreams. Let us grant ourselves permission to possess the ground under our feet for long enough to clear our heads.<\/p>\n

Just as Mercury is direct again, we can reclaim lost ground. Just as Jupiter and Venus have moved into a new energy of expression, we can rise to the opportunities, leaving behind the stale and forlorn. Just as four intrepid musicians have sung for forty years, we can carry on, confident that love is coming to us all. Confident because we ourselves are bringing that love to be.<\/p>\n
