From out of the West!

Today, the Moon passes in front of the Sun for a solar eclipse. This weekend, Mercury passes behind the Sun for an exterior (or “superior”) conjunction. Mercury is the fourth sign-ruling planet (after Venus, Mars and Uranus) to disappear behind solar glare in recent weeks, giving symbolic support to the idea that a great deal of what has been coming is soon to appear.<\/p>\n

That’s partially because a great deal is about to appear in the western twilight nearest you. <\/p>\n

Jupiter is there now, near the end of a long run across the entire sky that started in the east late last year, as if to preview coming attractions.<\/p>\n

As soon as tomorrow evening, depending on your weather and location, you may see astrology’s emblem of attraction in the twilight. That is when Venus is scheduled to make its premiere, alongside the first visible lunar crescent after today’s New Moon and eclipse, together on the red carpet of dusk.\u00a0Even if you can’t see it, take a moment and think about it. Venus and the Moon are returning to the solar spotlight together at the same time, coming at you from out of the west. <\/p>\n

If that doesn’t raise goosebumps, the corresponding events about to appear over the horizon of your life probably will.<\/p>\n

The wide-screen picture of current astrology implies that events about to ride into your life will serve to further dispel any remaining illusion that your existence is somehow separate from the rest of us. It begins with what the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars have in common. Their cycles are short in duration, repeating many times over a lifetime. That’s how they come to be called ‘personal’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To have the all the personal planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) in continuous collaboration behind the scenes for weeks on end is significant. It corresponds to the possibility of connections having been made, and still being made, within you — behind the glare of what consciousness informs. Recent transiting aspects made by the three planets, as they passed from Pisces, to Aries, and into Taurus, have provided a clue about what they are composing. Perhaps most notably taken have been the aspects to Saturn and Pluto.<\/p>\n

Saturn is astrology’s arbiter of form. As Venus, Mercury and Mars have moved from making water trines\u00a0from Pisces to Saturn in Scorpio, and on though opposition from Taurus, there has indeed been the sense of something taking shape, much as a waxing Moon does.<\/p>\n

Yet, there is also a sense of a flowing transformation as the personal planets have progressed from their supportive sextiles through tense squares, and into a succession of earth trines with Pluto’s gradual Capricorn evolution. All of which is indicating how, paradoxically, the remaining sunsets of this season will probably, eventually, unmask a new day for you and your relationship with the world.<\/p>\n

As Mercury and Mars follow the Moon and Venus out of invisible collaboration and into a new, yet somehow familiar motif in the coming weeks, you may want to start thinking now about the role you want to play. The line for white hats is forming to the west.<\/p>\n
