When the hour came, while dad was leaning over to kiss mom, I rushed from my seat in front of the television to look out the window. My father was watching. He knew what I was thinking.

One such time an awareness came upon me that nothing was the same. It&#8217;s a strange paradox. Change is both gradual and all at once. Tomorrow&#8217;s aspects and transits are an opportunity bridge that chasm. To bring our consciousness into concurrence with events, above and below, in the spatial and the temporal, that are increasingly in synchrony with each other. A co-incidence that took a long time to achieve. A peek at what it means to be one with.<\/p>\n<p>Late tomorrow or early Friday<!--EndFragment--> (depending on where you are) is a New Year&#8217;s of sorts. For the first time since my father was five, Uranus makes a transit into Aries. Just minutes before, at 23:07 UTC (7:07 pm on the east coast of the United States) the Sagittarius Full Moon exacts its opposition to the Gemini Sun. Just hours later, Mercury passes the degree where it stationed retrograde back on April 18th and breaks a little new ground of its own in Taurus.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For now, it&#8217;s the Uranus transit that dominates the scene, but it is not taking place in a vacuum. The planet associated with sudden, unexpected, quantum leaps returns to a sign that is not at all uncomfortable with that prospect. Soon it will be conjoined by Jupiter, in itself an event that occurs only six times during the 84 years it takes for Uranus to orbit the Sun. All this in the midst of multiple, functionally continuous oppositions to Saturn and squares to Pluto (once in a generation aspects). All of this in turn, on or about the early degrees of the signs that herald a change of season for everybody, anywhere in the world. A specific orientation that takes centuries to accrue.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s not all. The Galactic Center, classified as a fixed object on your ephemeris, recently moved into twenty-eighth degree of Sagittarius after about 60 years in the twenty-seventh. Weeks later, Eris, with a current apparent motion of eight one-thousandth of a degree per day transited from the twenty-second to the twenty third degree of Aries.<\/p>\n<p>All the hardly ever&#8217;s are coming together. All the big circles are coming around to the same point at the same time that the small ones are. That point where they are merging literally corresponding to turning points in cycles that all human beings experience. Those experiences literally representing phases of our individual lives. Our individual lives increasingly informed by a common awareness. Our common awareness rapidly becoming our identity. Our common identity gradually becoming&#8230;&#8230; one&#8230;&#8230; Bada bing. Bada boom. Got a glimpse of it through the glazing, didn&#8217;t ya? Come onnnn, yeah you did. Then it went away, didn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>It went away because we are not there yet. There are still some who would rather start a war than cop to getting caught being naughty. There are those would would rather end life than lose profit. There are those who would rather that you starve than surrender their dominance over you. Then finally, there&#8217;s you and me who can hear the other person&#8217;s stomach grumble but not yet experience the same feeling as when our own does.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s the next step. Assuming we have not already stepped off the edge and don&#8217;t know it yet. And what if we did? Wouldn&#8217;t you want to go down going up? That&#8217;s where a little thing called faith comes in. Might want to give it a try.
