The stellium of Mercury retrograde, Mars, Hermes and Pluto in Capricorn that\u00a0we have been telling you about the last 72 hours is still functional all day today. The Moon, now in Aries, is sweeping through this arrangement in a cardinal square aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Assange is having his first extradition hearing in London. Unless the established order can invoke Hermes and magically come up with something substantial, the so-called charges promise to be absurd stretches that will offend the intelligence of anyone who can say “Magna Carta”.<\/p>\n

We seem to be learning quickly, that power is its own justification. As of this writing, Mr. Assange is clearly and simply a political prisoner. Up until today, due process has been dispensed with as historic and distinguished legal systems on two continents have stooped to soil themselves publicly\u00a0to placate that which those systems have truly come to serve.<\/p>\n

What exactly is being served at the cost of all credibility is to be revealed, but it is a double-edged revelation. Even as the emperor’s clothes are coming off, so are the gloves. No institution, no matter how hallowed or sacred, is immune. The seat of power will stop at nothing — even tearing down its own facade — to get what it wants. Thus it is fitting that the the asteroid Hybrus (otherwise known as Hubris) is next in line to conjoin with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius, doing so even as you read this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Its no surprise that its come to this. The Justice Department and Supreme Court of the United States have been rehearsing for years, preparing the ground work, testing the waters, sniffing the air and suffocating out the fire of freedom. But all is not lost.<\/p>\n

To paraphrase Gandalf, there are higher forces at work here. Part of their work is to cause the responsible parties to reveal themselves and that accounts for Hybris following on the heels of Pallas Athene. Arrogance, recklessness, disrespect and over-confidence have led to the demise of heroes and villains alike. Even the greatest lessons, it seems, must be learned again from time to time.<\/p>\n

Next we should note that it is more than good fortune that the Moon is proceeding from the first quarter and not the last. Growing in its reflected light, it will reveal more and more in the darkness of the night following each passing day. The conceited elements of abject corruption scarcely notice something like this — they are sure of their absolute political and economic hegemony. Be assured, the growing light will tell and allow all the opportunity to distinguish what would otherwise proceed unseen. The Sagittarius Sun is not without its role either. Out of aspect with both sides of the exacting cardinal opposition between Ceres and Varuna, it demonstrates that even the highest, most remote power is subject to having its reputation either nourished or depleted by the deeds it is known for. As lies and broken promises build up and become more obviously attributable, even the most exalted and feared can fall as they bring about their own seasons and reasons to do so.<\/p>\n

In another twist of irony, Mercury retrograde actually has potential to be something positive so long as you are not the established order or attached to it by choice. As an invocation of mind and thought, the reverse trajectory in Capricorn encourages us to take it all in. We recover the proverbial “two” from the past and add it to the “two” coming of its own accord in the present. After that it is up to each of us to derive the obvious sum of events. To simply be aware and present of that for now is enough. The time to act will come in another season.<\/p>\n

Mars with its passion and desire has already been acting on the entire Capricorn tableau. Moving at nearly full speed now, it is feeding on the fuel of cardinal Earth, so compatible in quality to its own disposition. Pluto in turn, is absorbing as much heat as Mars can offer, asserting its convincing usurpation over this piece of Saturn’s domicile. Saturn is not threatened. Time will always be on its side. But Capricorn and all that it represents is now undeniably subject to a lasting transformation promising to accelerate through the aegis of response and reaction.<\/p>\n

In the midst of the big and tall, proceeding on their epic way, the most telling astrology today may come in the form of a very small package. What most distinguishes today from yesterday may be Eros, the dogged companion of Mars since its Scorpio days not so long ago. This representative of fervent, persistent and unconditional love is now occupying the catbird seat of a cardinal point, the first degree of Capricorn. To repeat once again — in astrology as in real estate, it’s location, location, location. Almost unnoticed, love has moved in to occupy the prime parcel on this of all days.<\/p>\n

In the middle of cynical hubris and the raw display of sheer power, in the midst of a desperate battle, forcefully joined, love — brotherly, sisterly, faithful love — has appeared. Its counterpart Amor will conjoin with the Moon as it squares and sweeps the Capricorn stellium from Aries today. Yup, love has them out flanked and, as always, nobody saw it coming.<\/p>\n

Here you were beginning to think there was no hope. If astrology has anything to say about it, there is nothing but hope, albeit not to subject to judging by size. How could that be possible? So much money talking and so many political arms being twisted to no avail because of love? There are unfortunately, some who think that as absurd as the attempted proceeding against Mr. Assange today. In the long run however, human experience tells us that those who discount love are left behind as dust.<\/p>\n

So, keep your eyes open for signs of love today. Listen for its call. Let the inspiration clear your sinuses so that you detect its fragrance. Be prepared to gratefully accept its touch. Love is not in the center of our galaxy. It is here, and it is also our surest way to connect with the Divine. Maybe it’s the time of year. Maybe it’s the time of our kind. The not-so-hidden opportunity of today’s aspects is to find out who we are. Choose the cause of love. It’s a sure thing.<\/p>\n
