Last week we gained a purchase on the current astrology by drawing a picture for ourselves. This week we will start off by drawing two of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome back from the re-boot weekend. What some astrologers have unfortunately referred to as the “climax” of the cardinal T-square. Let us take a moment and get some perspective of our own. Draw a circle on a piece of paper. Draw a cross inside the circle just like last week. Remember that the four parts of the circle are the seasons. Remember that the lines of the cross are where each season begins. Finally, remember that motion on the circle is counter-clockwise unless it is retrograde motion.<\/p>\n

Start with the top part of the cross and write “Uranus” and “Jupiter”. On the bottom part of the cross, write “Saturn”. On the right side of the cross write “Pluto”. Look at it. That was before. There were four. Uranus and Jupiter in the first degrees of Aries. Saturn in the first degree of Libra. Pluto in the first degrees of Capricorn. Arranged in the shape of the letter “T”.<\/p>\n

Right now the Leo Sun is below the left side of the cross. About a third of the way towards the bottom. Don’t bother to write that down, just visualize it. Remember that it takes a year for the Sun to go around the circle. Now, go back to the bottom of the cross and write “Mars” right next to “Saturn”. Then there were five. That’s the “after” that started late last Thursday. Now, keep in mind that the apparent motion of Mars is much faster than the other four. In a few days, the red planet will have moved on and we will be back to the “before” T-square with four planets on three of the cardinal points. Looks more like a restart than a shutdown from this perch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Climax, schlimax. Of course, if you are reading this, any climax you experienced over the weekend did not shut you down, did it? You are still kicking and so is the cardinal T-square. So, what is Mars doing? Keep in mind that the vibe of the cardinal T-square is, “all of us together, all at the same time.” Mars is part of that for a week or so. Also keep in mind that there has been another theme developing in the astrology; a theme having to do with relationships.<\/p>\n

Starting with the big relationship “all of us together, all at the same time” there has been a direction, a flow in the development of that theme. It is moving from the general towards the specific. It is moving from the long term towards the now. Think about it. Look at your picture while you do. The first player was Pluto moving into, out of, and back into Capricorn back in 2008. Going up over the line on the right, back down a smidgen, back up again, never very far away from the line. Pluto takes about 248 years to go around the circle.<\/p>\n

The next participant was Uranus, with an orbital period of about 84 years, in the late degrees of Pisces, approaching Aries, at the line that forms top part of the cross.<\/p>\n

Next comes Saturn with an orbital period of about 29 years. In November of 2008, it was in late Virgo, approaching Libra, the line that the bottom part of the cross, finding itself directly across the big circle from Uranus for the first of five times. An opposition is what that is called, 180 degrees apart. About a year later, Saturn crossed that line at the bottom of the circle for the first time and was exactly 90 degrees apart from Pluto in Capricorn for the first of three times. That’s a square aspect.<\/p>\n

For a while, the three of them danced with each other, trading oppositions and squares, never straying very far from their respective lines on the cross. Then earlier this year, Jupiter joined them, up there on the top part of the circle. It opposed Saturn (which had retrograded back into Virgo just a bit) before leaving Pisces for the first time. Then it moved to Aries to share the same degree of the circle with Uranus. That’s a conjunction. Then it squared Pluto. Now it’s in retrograde and starting over with another square to Pluto which is exact today. Jupiter has an orbital period of about 12 years.<\/p>\n

Finally, last Thursday, Mars crossed the line at the bottom of the cross, at the bottom of the circle, moving into Libra to form a conjunction with Saturn. Mars takes 687 Earth days to go around the Sun; just short of two years.<\/p>\n

So set aside your picture of the cross in the circle and let’s make another picture on another piece of paper. Draw a nice big circle and let that be a representation of the time Pluto takes to go around the Sun. Now, inside of that big circle, draw one about half the size, but don’t draw it in the middle. Draw it so that the two circles touch, right down at the bottom. Let that smaller circle represent time as well. The amount of time it takes Uranus to complete its orbit.<\/p>\n

Inside the Uranus circle, draw a third one, again about half the size, touching the other two at the bottom. Let that be the time for Saturn’s orbit. Then, inside that, a fourth one, half the size, touching the other three at the bottom, representing Jupiter’s elapsed time. Finally, inside the Jupiter circle, draw one more, touching the other four at the bottom, for Mars. Five concentric circles all touching at one point. One point in time. This point in time. Today.<\/p>\n

Now, with one hand, hold the piece of paper with the circle and the cross. Look at the names of the planets you have written at the top and on the bottom and on the right of the cross. Say to yourself, “all of us together.”<\/p>\n

Visualize the Sun moving counter-clockwise around the circle, now beneath the left hand part of the cross, about a third of the way towards the bottom. Think about your relationship to the seasons. Think about how the cross divides the circle into seasons. Think about how each one of us has such a relationship, separately, each in our own way; yet also together, very much in common with where the Sun is.<\/p>\n

With the other hand hold the other piece of paper, the one with the five circles; one inside the other. All five coming together at one point. Look at the point where they all come together. That is now. Say to yourself, “all at the same time.” Think about what has been happening in your life. Think about the lives of people you know. Think about what is going on in your nation and in the world.<\/p>\n

Go back and forth between the two pieces of paper a few more times. Look at the picture you drew. Say the words. Think about your life. Think about other people. When you have finished, put the paper away. Direct your attention to what is going on around you. Then feel what is going on inside you.<\/p>\n

Now, isn’t that better than having someone tell you how to think? What a wonderful way to begin the week, to start a month. Drawing your own pictures. Thinking for yourself. Keep your pictures handy; tomorrow we start talking about some of the other planets.<\/p>\n
