If it’s made out of atoms, it’s baryonic matter. That’s what science tells us. Just about every material thing you can think of is baryonic matter. It’s what we are made of. Among the characteristics of this form are relationship and exchange. When we get a sunburn, when we get wet, when we get hot or cold, sick or well there is a relationship of exchange going on. The one exception at least so far is gravity. We all know what it is. We deal with it every day. Even though it is apparently a property of matter, there is no demonstrated mechanism of relationship by exchange. Good old familiar gravity is, at its root, a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The astrological theme for today seems to be one of relationship and exchange and the possible bridge to mystery.<\/p>\n

Sun in Pisces starts the day off with a sextile (60 degrees of separation) to Pluto in Capricorn to once again bring our attention to the long term, big picture aspects of the outer planets. Sextiles seem to involve the theme of relationship if relationship is defined as a supportive exchange. In this case the friendly Sun that illuminates our every day is lending its support to Pluto’s tenure of metamorphosis and transformation in the sign of the established order.<\/p>\n

This is fitting since Pisces is a mutable sign that prepares the way for a new order in the form of a change of seasons. Pluto in turn is lending its support to the Sun’s transit of Pisces. This makes sense because Pisces is associated with the twelfth house, an energy that Pluto is comfortable with (although it has no traditional exaltation). It has to do with mysterious energies that operate in the dark. We know the results, but the process of getting there is a mystery. For today, the aspect seems to be focused on the Sun, encouraging us to bring our own processes out of the dark so that we can work with them intelligently.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Moon wraps up its time in Gemini today by opposing the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. An opposition is a different kind of relationship. Because it is often characterized as a “hard aspect” it has a bad reputation of representing conflict and polarity. While this can be the case upon occasion, it has been your reporter’s humble observation that it is more likely to represent exchange with the proverbial “other”. The key to stabilizing this sort of exchange is the willingness to integrate some of what is opposite to what we are.<\/p>\n

Sagittarius is recognized as a highly spiritual sign, especially if spirituality can be defined as relationship to the powerful and unknowable. The presence of the Great Attractor and Galactic Center as long term residents of this sign lends considerable weight to that assessment. Both of them are far away. Both of them are evidently large in mass, conferring powerful gravity. Both of them are shrouded from view. Both of them are a mystery, an “other” with which we have a rather one-sided relationship and very little exchange.<\/p>\n

If yesterday’s Moon aspects can be said to have been associated to emotional intelligence, today’s opposition can be fairly interpreted as an integration of that experience with the spiritual other. This will be an excellent preparation for Luna to ingress Cancer, the sign it rules, before today ends.<\/p>\n

As if Luna had made an introduction, it is also worth noting that the separating conjunction of Chiron and Neptune (in Aquarius) and Uranus (in Pisces) are applying in aspect to the Galactic Center.<\/p>\n

For Chiron and Neptune the aspect will be a sextile (same as the Sun and Moon), Chiron will get there first, just as February ends. Neptune will exact the same sextile with the Galactic Center in the second week of March. Both are functional now. A sextile aspect to a mystery is a little tricky, almost an oxymoron. Let’s start by looking at the obvious.<\/p>\n

The center of the galaxy has a lot of gravity and radiates a lot of energy because there are a lot of stars there, very close together. In addition, there is well founded speculation that there is a big black hole smack in the middle. Black holes are NOT baryonic matter, not like you and me in the least. So far we got a lot of what we don’t know or understand.<\/p>\n

What we can understand is that the galaxy is our finite island in the infinite universe and that it rotates and that the center of that rotation is the place from which the whole thing can be perceived at once – the ultimate place of awareness. Chiron is, among other things, about conscious awareness of that which we hide from ourselves. Neptune is among other things about that which resists or conceals conscious awareness. If those things can be said to be true, can it not also be said that their sextile to the galactic center can bring us in contact with a new perspective, heretofore a mystery? Let’s watch the events, both personal and public in the next few weeks. It has been a long time since this aspect has taken place, and the concurrent events could have been a long time coming.<\/p>\n

Finally, Uranus will square the Galactic Center in the last week of March. This could be the kicker somehow. A square is an aspect of action taken to relieve stress. Uranus is all about doing that, about breaking things wide open. There could be some very interesting developments with this aspect. There is no predicting what they will be. One would be very surprised however, if they did not somehow involve some long term relationships, some surprising exchange and the extension of awareness into the previously unknown.<\/p>\n
