It seems right to start this week by telling you about the end of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This week will finish with a Full Moon. Last month, the opposition of the luminaries followed the the equinox by just minutes, with Luna on the Aries Point. This month the Full Moon will occur in the last degree of that sign, as if to see both sides of it.<\/p>\n

But it is more than Aries that the September and October Full Moons have in common. Thanks to a rare retrograde station in the interim, Venus will occupy precisely the same spot on the zodiac for both events. To the degree. Indeed, to within two arc minutes. This unique confluence of repetitions will be the theme that we develop this week. But before we start on that, let’s take a brief look back to last week and then position ourselves in the big picture.<\/p>\n

The euphoria that ensued with the improbable and unprecedented rescue of the Chilean miners was a reflection of our potential as well as our need at this time in history. For reasons we may never understand, circumstances combined in such a way as to make the impossible a reality. It was very much a counterpart to the first lunar landing just over 41 years ago and reflects the astrological connection between that year and this one — a conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus on the Aries Point — the expansion of potential, only this time on the opposite side of the zodiac. This phenomenon of obversion<\/em> (defined as the act of immediate inference, by which we deny the opposite of anything which has been affirmed) is demonstrated by contrasting the two events.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 1969 we left the Earth and went out. Last week we drilled into it. The heroes of the Apollo 11 mission were elite specialists from the Northern Hemisphere. Last week, the celebrated personalities were from the working class in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

Now that the rescued miners have returned to the surface of the Earth, they will face a period of transition and this is reflected in our current period of transition for the planets. Like their previous lives, the cardinal T-square is at once a thing of the past, and also an influence on the present. Having passed its own square with the lunar nodes, Saturn’s limiting and stabilizing role in the cardinal point pattern has passed on as well. Much as we may have felt hamstrung by the presence of the ringed one, its departure from the cardinal point action may ultimately have us wishing it would come back. That could lead to some unfortunate choices if we are unable to release attachment to the past. We would be better served embracing the dynamic and creative possibilities of an unstable and uncertain future.<\/p>\n

Similarly, at least some of the stalwart Peruvian miners may soon find themselves wishing they could go back to their previous existence in spite of the danger and the drudgery. But they and we all know that the stability and structure that their previous employment provided are not worth their squandering a second chance at life. The only thing to do is move forward and engage the potentials of both prosperity and service that their newly unstable and uncertain lives will offer. The new basis on which to build is not their past but what they learned from being buried a half mile down with nothing but each other.<\/p>\n

And if today’s astrology is any indication, the rest of us can learn something from them. With Mercury forming a Libra-to-Aquarius air trine with Neptune first, followed by Chiron, we have an opportunity to pull our heads out of the ground and breathe some fresh air into the relationship between how we feel and what we think. One does not necessarily need to dominate. There can be balance and indeed, there needs to be. As Mercury goes on to end the day in a supportive sextile to the Sagittarian center of our galaxy, the emphasis is clearly on our relationships and our constructive engagement with each other.<\/p>\n

Speaking of relationships, one of the recently transitioned goddess asteroids provides further elaboration. In mythology, Juno was Jupiter’s spouse and that relationship served to both define and test her. Today the asteroid Juno forms a Virgo-to-Capricorn earth trine with the lunar nodes.<\/p>\n

The lunar nodes are the two places where the Moon’s orbit around the Earth intersects with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Perpetually in opposition, eternally synchronized in a complex cycle of kata<\/em>, they, like Juno symbolize the concept of relationship but from a different perspective. With Juno it’s the emotional quality, with the nodes it’s the sustenance. In an earth trine, there is the implication that these elements can support each other and create a broader and more stable base to build on.<\/p>\n

And that’s what we need. There will be times when we find it an attractive proposition to abdicate responsibility and give away our power. Such will be the trials we will face. Such will be the changes we must adapt to. But going back down into the mine will not accomplish anything. Security and safety cannot be given to us by those who demand that we place ourselves in unsafe and insecure circumstances in order to serve them.<\/p>\n

We can only do those things for ourselves, in relationship with those who have gone through the same thing we have. If there is to be a second chance, we must give it to ourselves.<\/p>\n
