The Sun enters Gemini at 5:10 pm EDT Monday. Just as with Mercury’s entrance to Gemini yesterday, the Sun’s first aspect after ingress will be a conjunction with the centaur Asbolus. That particular combination means solar Gemini this year will symbolically begin with an emphasis on the fundamentals of what you are, and how the rest of us know you are here with us.<\/p>\n

\"Astrology<\/dt>\n
<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

We know the Sun is in the sky by its light. We know you are with us by the light of your consciousness. That is how the Sun is correlated with consciousness in astrology.<\/p>\n

So long as you are conscious, your consciousness is apparent to you. In order for your consciousness to be apparent to the rest of us, however, it must be communicated. <\/p>\n

Communication is the core of Gemini’s nature. Hence, communication of consciousness is the most distinguishing feature of solar Gemini. The means by which you are conscious, and through which your consciousness is communicated to the rest of us, is through your physical, biological being. So far as we know, carbon is essential to the physical structure of all biological beings.<\/p>\n

Thus the name Asbolus, which means “carbon dust,” unavoidably corresponds to your physical being. The category of solar system objects to which Asbolus belongs are centaurs, which correspond to something uniquely human.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a group, the role of centaur objects in astrology is to represent various manifestations of the construct psychologists call shadow. In his book Psychology and Religion<\/em>, Carl Jung noted that “Everyone carries a shadow,” which is interesting because it puts the notion on the same footing as carbon and consciousness among the things universal to all human beings. Additionally, in his autobiography, Jung referred to shadow as both “sinister” and “the true spirit of life,” which connects the concept with Gemini’s dualistic character.<\/p>\n

The Sun enters Gemini’s field of duality once a year like clockwork. Asbolus, on the other hand, takes a bit less than 77 years complete a circuit of the zodiac. That means Asbolus has seldom, if ever, been waiting in the first degree of Gemini to merge first with Mercury’s emblem of mind and then, days later, with the Sun’s symbol of consciousness. To have it be so this year clearly indicates something special is going on.<\/p>\n

It implies that something is reaching deep into the structure of your physical being, and your psychology at the same time. It represents nothing less than carbon communicating with consciousness, and not just within you. Rather, within all human beings simultaneously, and not just within. Rather, connecting each and all of us together in concurrent experience, and outwardly as well. To the Sun. To the sooty centaur. To the whole that we call Universe, and for a moment to all time and space.<\/p>\n

How that should happen now, while you are alive, means that there is something special about you. What that might be is something that no astrologer can tell you. It is something for your consciousness to discover and communicate to the rest of us. In order to make the most of Monday, therefore, please do yourself and the rest of us a favor. However you let us know you are here, please do it as if it is how you will always be known. That just may be the case.<\/p>\n
