Wouldn’t you know it. While you were reading here two days ago about Neptune’s natal deja vu, it stationed retrograde. Isn’t it just like the Wet One to slip away under scrutiny. It won’t get off so easy this time. Today Mars in late Leo continues to apply in opposition (180 degrees of separation) to this long-term resident of Aquarius. This aspect will exact tomorrow (Friday) in most time zones. It will be another step in our gradual re-discovery of Neptune’s true identity signature. Watch here for further developments.<\/p>\n

This morning, the Moon briefly conjoins with Neptune in late Aquarius as if to continue the process of revelation. Pay attention to what your intuition and emotions tell you in the first part of today, but don’t respond just yet. Build that file. Later on, Luna transits into Pisces where, late tomorrow it will form a square (90 degrees of separation) with the Gemini Sun. This aspect is another way of saying that the Moon is in its last quarter, halfway between the full and the new. Fittingly, it looks like a circle neatly cut in half.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sun and Mercury as expression of our ego, identity and intellect are confronting some shadow material in the form of two of the most potent centaur planets. For many of us, contemplating the interminable magnitude of death and destruction in the Gulf of Mexico, shadow material is a constant companion. It is the continuing experience of experiences past. It is created by trauma. It is triggered by the perceived potential for more. It is not resolved by denial or suppression. It must be engaged with awareness and healed by integration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Sun’s part in today’s scenario is an opposition with Pholus in Sagittarius. Oppositions represent an external bind that requires a separate negotiation with each side of the polarity. In mythology, Pholus, like Chiron, was a cerebral centaur, a scientist of sorts. After Hercules slaughtered most of his kind in a row over a vessel of wine, Pholus inspected one of the poisoned arrowheads that Hercules used. While musing over how such a small thing could have such a big effect, he inadvertently injured himself, quickly ending his life.<\/p>\n

As we ourselves contemplate how one, well out of thousands, could be the source of widespread damage we must also deal with the uncertainty of how long it will last, how bad it will get. On one side of the bind is ourselves and those close to us. The key is not to allow the consciousness of the toxins in the Gulf spill over and pollute those relationships. The other side is to grow our awareness of what’s really going on, separate from the narrative of media and public relations. That awareness will gradually awaken us to how we can engage, participate and do our part to move things into a better direction on the other side of the polarity.<\/p>\n

Mercury in turn, is building up speed in Taurus and applying to square (90 degrees of separation) Nessus in Aquarius. A square represents internal tension. The imperative is to act decisively and with awareness. This is easier said than done. This particular aspect is especially challenging. Mercury represents the paradigm of the intellect, communication, exchange of ideas. The implied shadow of Nessus is about what we don’t want to speak of<\/em>. So this is tension about speaking the unspeakable.<\/p>\n

As we contemplate our helplessness as a mile under the ocean the Earth hemorrhages petroleum, we may well be triggered. We may take advantage of the noise on the outside to cover the turmoil inside. We may withdraw and allow the toxic fumes to accumulate under pressure. We may feel shame and then guilt as the pressure releases passing the poison on to a new generation. The key is to act before that by integrating the qualities of Mercury. Talk about what comes up. Write about it if you can. Exchange information with an informed peer and spare the uninformed subordinate. Bring those plumes to the surface of your consciousness and allow yourself to forgive them in the light of day.<\/p>\n

From the personal to the political we find Ceres, mythology’s expression, staggering backwards in the last degree of Capricorn — a cardinal point, connected to the Aries Point. Today we may see strength in her as she separates from a supportive sextile with Chiron in Pisces, considering the past. Thus fortified, moving on to issue challenge and offer support in turn: Ceres in Sagittarius for a while is about considering the cosmic nature of the Earth, that we are part of something much larger than anything we’ve considered in the past.<\/p>\n
