Most of us have been told. Some of us understand. Few live it. Today is all we have. This moment is all there is. Be here now. Here now be. Now be here. Be now here. Now here be. What is in the past, even the immediate past, is done. What is in the future, even a few moments hence is but a speculation.<\/p>\n

If ever there were a day to appreciate the now, it is this one with Jupiter conjunct Uranus in the first degree of Aries. Those of you who have been regular readers of Planet Waves are already briefed on some of the implications of this conjunction. Self actualization comes to pass. Our old paradigms are no longer able to contain our reality. We’re becoming aware of how we live and the consequences. There are auspicious gatherings and meetings. Indications are that the implicit will be come explicit, but that is for posterity to determine.<\/p>\n

There is one thing however — clear, undeniable and empirical — about the now when Jupiter conjoins Uranus in Aries. Nobody reading this will see it again. Nor will our children. Nor will their children. The last time it happened was on July 15, 1927. The next time, well, your correspondent cannot say. Every ephemeris available does not show it happening again in this millennium. That’s right, between now and through the year 2999 Jupiter will conjoin Uranus many times (on average, once every 14 years) but not in Aries, not again.<\/p>\n

Here, be now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, what are we to make of this unique day, never to be repeated for as long as we know? One would propose the first realization that every day is like that. Every moment consists of a unique combination of events that will not be duplicated again. How many of them do we allow to slip by without appreciation because we are angry about the past or worried about the future? Most of them? How many times does it take for us to be fully present in and conscious of the now in order for our lives to be changed for ever? One of them?<\/p>\n

It’s like a lotto with a winner every second. First prize, only prize, the beginning of the Universe. Everybody is holding a winning ticket but almost nobody is claiming their prize. What’s up with that?<\/p>\n

That’s life. That’s a big part of the answer. We are busy, more and more all the time. We’re occupied with staying fed, sheltered and clothed and doing the same for loved ones who depend on us. So often it’s a matter of running as fast as one can to stay in the same place. Then we fall into bed troubled by so much not done, only to hit the floor running the next morning, terrified of getting behind.<\/p>\n

Mars in Virgo knows something about that. Applying ourselves to get things done. Chiron in Pisces, opposing Mars today, knows about what it takes out of us. Working the bind implied by the opposition means negotiating both sides separately. On the one side the grounded mutable warrior with focus and precision. On the other the wise teacher with the holistic viewpoint. The twain shall never meet, but they can be balanced.<\/p>\n

Given the orientation of the Sacred Warrior Opposition to the Everlasting Conjunction, the key word would seem to be adjustment. Taking it a little further the key question would seem to be “What can you live with?”. That’s because Chiron has almost precisely 30 degrees of separation from Jupiter-Uranus. That’s a semi-sextile. Mars is 150 degrees away, that’s a quincunx. Both are degrees of aversion. Whatever qualities the signs are imparting upon the four planets involved are out of conjunction.<\/p>\n

Mars, finally getting up to speed direct, will resolve this aspect of alienation by moving towards opposition. That’s in character. One would expect the Red Warrior in Virgo to be up front. Not confrontational for it’s own sake you understand, but in the interest of the proverbial “get `er done” ethic.<\/p>\n

With Chiron, it’s not so simple. By the time it retrogrades back into Aquarius for the rest of the year, Uranus will be on its way back to Pisces with Jupiter tumbling after. In other words the inconjunct will sustain like a Wagnerian composition – movement after movement, scene after scene in search of a resolving note. The holistic will have to wait for the practical. One can almost sense the Pluto in Capricorn influence here placing emphasis on what’s good for business.<\/p>\n

Don’t lose faith. Uranus will turn direct in December and return to Aries next year. Pluto will meet its match and what’s good for business will take on a whole new meaning. Look at it this way, the resolution is in evolution. We will hear that note soon enough.<\/p>\n
