That means Earth will be moving in between the Sun and the center of our galaxy. Sun opposing the Galactic Center is an annual event that takes place three days before the Cancer solstice, but this year it has a little something extra going for it. That something extra may leave you starting next week wondering what&#8217;s what and whether or not.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_38984\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 260px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38984 \" title=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/astro-len-wallick-logo.jpg?resize=250%2C167&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you have ever found yourself reversing left and right, front to back or up and down, you may soon be doing that again. It is not to say that the Sun opposed to the Galactic Core is a source of confusion so much as it is occasion to question whether things can or may be otherwise. The interrogative opportunity which accompanies this year&#8217;s rendition of Earth between the center of the solar system and the center of the galaxy is a matter of context.<\/p>\n<p> An eclipse cycle propelled us so far afield you may have trouble with recollections before May 20, when the great eye of an annular solar eclipse opened up to reveal the cycle&#8217;s entrance. The theme of eclipses was then extended with nearly absurd timing by Venus transiting the Sun, not to be repeated for more than a century. The Venus transit was immediately followed by another lunar wink of Pluto, a suit the Moon will follow this weekend when it occults Jupiter as well. All of those eclipses and eclipse-like events will not only have preceded the Sun opposing the Galactic Center, they will be concentrically encapsulated in some pretty darned auspicious events that will follow in the week to come.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The auspicious occurrences that will take place next week start with a lunar cycle, proceed to a solar cycle and then take us out to the edge of consciousness. The current lunation, the period of time between one New Moon and the next, is taking place entirely within Gemini. That&#8217;s right, two New Moons in a row in Gemini, the first of which was a solar eclipse and the second, on Tuesday, has intimations of a hard act to follow. Nevertheless, the Sun will follow on Wednesday by literally standing still at its northernmost elongation for the Cancer Solstice. Then, finally, on June 24, a Uranus inured to Aries will finally find itself in the first of six exact squares to a Pluto possessed of Capricorn, defining the boundary of an aureole in the midst of an epoch. Between the various eclipses and concentric epochs will be all of us, quite literally in the middle as well.<\/p>\n<p>To be moving between the Sun and the center of our galaxy is no small thing. To occupy that middle place in space as simultaneously we move between two axes of time suggests a profound intersection, a switch of track beyond our wit, but not beyond our notice. What you can expect to notice as the weekend closes are indications that the order and place of things, heretofore deemed natural, are in fact rapidly becoming archaic. Given the sheer volume of immense astrology just before and after the Sun opposes the Galactic Center, you can anticipate that some of those perceptive shifts could be unexpectedly sudden and precipitous, which makes an appropriate response problematic. The key will be to respond rather than react.<\/p>\n<p>Response is a mindful thing, taken deliberately and under control. Reaction is a loss of control and a surrender to the mindless impulses of fight, flight or panic. The three practices that best assist an appropriate response are awareness, humor and a sense of proportion. Astrology is there to provide an awareness, symbolically forewarning the approach of a switch from one track to another. Humor serves to counteract whatever gravity is in the circumstances that would threaten to crush or rend your equanimity. Finally, a sense of proportion allows you to be a student learning the skills you need to advance to the next level of matriculation precisely as that level is presenting itself.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you go out in the evening of the New Moon and see the dew sparkling brightly on the the grass, if your friends seem estranged, or if you find yourself swept off your feet by strange and new attractions, don&#8217;t pinch, scream or kick &#8212; go with it. Take it in for the special time that it is and look for the chance to step off or step up. Above all, do everything you can to avoid stepping back. To go where the angelic fail to venture is not foolishness, it is evolution.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service<\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
