At the earliest ending of winter,
\nIn March, a scrawny cry from outside
\nSeemed like a sound in his mind.<\/em>

Welcome to Monday. Welcome also to a special day, a unique week. The weekend just past saw a lot of astrological action: the last quarter of Moon’s current cycle as it nearly crossed the length of Sagittarius, conjoining the Great Attractor and the Galactic Center.<\/p>\n

Venus is moving into Aries,\u00a0forming a fire sign trine (120 degree angle between the planets) with still-retrograde Mars on the edge in Leo. Mercury conjoined Jupiter in the full house of Pisces. The Sun passing the halfway point of its journey in Pisces. Quite the few days. All three of the fire signs lit up while the vast deep currents of the final sign of the zodiac flowed through the days and nights.<\/p>\n

It was not a sound in your mind but it was part of your consciousness and the awareness you were able to bring is part of the thing itself. Today’s aspects would best be taken with the continued certainty that what is going on within is one with the without. Integration is the task. Mediation is the method. Thus we gradually prepare as the outer planets move to herald the dawn of a new season and a new era. Luna shows us how an ending can serve to prepare us for the beginning that Venus leads us towards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Venus in Aries is a stranger in a strange land — potential with problematic baggage. Being in a sign opposite of one that it rules, it can be said to be in detriment. Your correspondent prefers the word exile. The narcissistic self-involvement that’s part of the Venus package would seem to be emphasized in the first fire sign. Generous compassion part would seem to be taking a back seat, in truth it is a learning goal of Venus in this sign. In context, this would well serve leading the Pisces pack into spring. After all, pioneers blaze trails. Today’s opposition with Saturn in Libra however, says: not so fast. Let us integrate the perception of limits and temper recklessness. Let beginnings be mediated by humility so endings will not be characterized by exhaustion. Let us awaken to the fire gradually so that the idea can be discerned from the thing itself.<\/p>\n

As if to take that theme even deeper, before the Moon leaves Sagittarius this morning it joins in with a lot of action in the 27th and 28th degree of various signs. Uranus in Pisces trine [centaur planet] Chariklo in Scorpio. Centaur Elatus in Leo trine the conjunction of Ceres and the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. The air conjunction of Chiron and Neptune is modulating the fire and the water, with the Moon making the Sagittarius conjunction a threesome. Where to begin?<\/p>\n

Perhaps with the two centaur-class planets. Chiron and Chariklo have been in a functional square (90 degree angle) for nearly a year and will continue to do so for nearly another two. This period of time includes among many other things, the dance of recurring quadrature (90-degree base) aspects between Saturn, Pluto and Uranus leading up to their cardinal T-square, joined by Jupiter later this year. If synchronicity and minor planet wisdom prevails, this prolonged aspect may well hold a clue on how to negotiate the events of our time.<\/p>\n

In Greco-Roman mythology Chiron and Chariklo were betrothed. Unlike may other marriages of their epoch, they eschewed the drama in favor of devotion. If gossip tabloids had existed in the golden age, they would not have made much copy from these two. The test of their relationship came after Chiron suffered his legendary injury. In his time of need Chariklo did not abandon him, though his physical condition could not possibly improve. By holding true to her devotion in the face of hopelessness, she healed Chiron’s psychic pain of childhood abandonment and made it possible for him to let go of immortality, leaving his pain-wracked body behind.<\/p>\n

The enduring square aspect between between these two celestial centaurs underscores and echoes the relationship between the mythological pair. Taking place between Scorpio and Aquarius, the positive attributes of being fixed are brought out. Enduring through injury and hardship, devotion for its own sake, without the promise of resolution. At the same time the promises of a square are on display. Chiron’s wound required him to face a lot of things internally. Fear, pain, humiliation, frustration, grieving and sheer loss among them. Given a space where he could feel safe and loved however, allowed him to navigate and mediate within to see his way clear to release his burden and be free. Turns out the wound inflicted by that poisoned arrow was just a symbol of his thing, not the thing itself.<\/p>\n

Just as mediation is found in square, so it can be found in trine and conjunction. Thus does the proud self-expression of Elatus find humility without disgrace when in flow with powerful faith in returning abundance that is Ceres on the Galactic Center. Hence does Chariklo surprise herself finding energy from Uranus to awaken her depth. Finally Chiron finds himself assuaged by the soothing succor of Neptune as he sorts through his options on his way to clarity.<\/p>\n

So, as rich aspects and shifts of the weekend can be discerned as not being what they seemed at first but rather what they are, so can the integrating mix of our morning Moon be integrated into what has been brought forward. The emerging new will be mediated by the retreating old.\u00a0As the Moon moves into Capricorn where it will square Saturn and conjoin Pluto, may we be informed of a new and more solid perspective. It is through exchange that we enrich one another. It is through integrity that we support each other. It is through mediation that we appreciate each other. It is in being one with the thing that we find the thing itself.<\/p>\n
