You don’t need no baggage, you just get on board.

Venus blows a sweet sextile from Gemini to Uranus on its Aries ride shortly after 10:30 pm EDT Wednesday. The Venus-Aries sextile will close a tight cycle of aspects that follow the culmination of tomorrow’s Capricorn Full Moon. Besides Venus and Uranus, the round-robin of conversation will include Mercury and two centaur objects with a connection implied by name, Okyrhoe and Chariklo. The day-long sequence of alternating contacts concluding with the Venus-Uranus sextile symbolizes a message of collaboration that transcends its parts. We speak of nothing less than a genetic purpose for each of us in all of us, and a legacy of need for all of us in each of us.<\/p>\n

Venus is in direct motion, on its third pass through Gemini’s heart. That is to say, Venus is in the echo (or ‘shadow’) phase following its retrograde. Wednesday’s sextile to Uranus connects the Venus retrograde cycle to the current continuum of Uranus-Pluto square aspects.<\/p>\n

In a word, the subject matter of the Venus retrograde cycle has been connection. Since Venus entered its first echo phase (passing the point where it would eventually resume direct motion) on April 11, we have seen an astonishing series of historical and astrological events. On the astrology side, Venus led the highlights, passing across the Sun’s visage for the last time in this century while in the process of moving from one horizon to the other. A solar eclipse on May 20 looked for all the world like a hole in the Sun. The lunar eclipse that followed on June 3 felt like all the world suspended between proximity and infinity. <\/p>\n

The Venus retrograde cycle has also borne witness to a heaping handful of major celestial objects changing direction (including the Sun, which stops moving north at its rising and setting and begins moving south at the Cancer solstice). Most auspiciously, Uranus and Pluto have recently crossed the line into a three year continuum of exact squares, which represents the inner circle of an era in the process of defining itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The nature of the era currently defining itself has been marked by historical events as exceptional and weighty as the concurrent astrology. The very institutions that create wealth are unaccountably borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. Those most passionately involved in politics are the very same whose extreme partisanship poisons purposeful polemics. Personal relationships are more often anything but. The increasingly toxic nature of all forms of exchange has, as a result, tempted the most temperate to social apostasy. Yet, while immersed in what we cannot understand, we are also obliged to serve all of posterity as its co-creators. <\/p>\n

That means we need each other. It means that it is not only survival but the values of compassion and responsibility that must shine through the most dire circumstances, keeping us connected even when things seem to have gone as far as they can go. The imperative to make and keep connection is the process that will be symbolized by the circuit of aspects that will begin after tomorrow’s lunar culmination.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, hours after the Capricorn Moon has gone as far as it can go in opposition to the Cancer Sun, Venus will have an opposition of its own, igniting a fire sign sequence. Following the Full Moon, Earth will move between Venus and Okyrhoe. The centaur object Okyrhoe was named after the mythical daughter of Chariklo and Chiron. It is symbolically holding hands with centaur Chariklo as the two of them conjoin in retrograde through Sagittarius. <\/p>\n

In the day that will elapse between Venus’ opposition, first to the imagined daughter, and then to the namesake mother, Mercury and Uranus get into the act. Uranus starts off with a fire trine to Chariklo, then Mercury breaks in its Leo track shoes. On Wednesday, speedy Mercury will complete fire trines to Okryhoe, Chariklo and Uranus while pausing only to inhale from a Venus sextile. <\/p>\n

In other words, it’s a sequence of connections, around the clock and around the zodiac. Venus in sextile to Uranus will conclude the sequence with no participant left out of the circuit, with air feeding fire and values supporting continuity as we enter an era of change that will either serve to continue or condemn life itself.<\/p>\n

Passing between every mother and daughter is a special form of DNA. It is not the DNA of the cell nucleus, subject to the division and recombination that keeps life vital and diverse. Rather it is the DNA of mitochondria, the batteries that keep every cell running, symbiotic sub-cells that allow us to trace the continuity made possible by connection. <\/p>\n

It is the mitochondrial DNA which has proven that all humans are brothers and sisters in actual fact, probably descended from a group of sisters who would not have survived had they not given equal value to compassion and cooperation. It was their wisdom that put us here. Now it is our wisdom, or lack of it, that will determine whether their living legacy will continue past the culmination of challenges we are about to face. If we hold to the energetic values we received from our first mothers, we have a chance. People, get ready.<\/p>\n
