<\/dt>\nWhat’s more, probability favors the new lunar cycle (or “lunation”) initiated by Monday’s New Moon will promote even further growth between now and next year, provided you can embrace what growth is.<\/p>\n
Growth is not easy. No matter who, now matter how, the easiest path is to avoid growing. It is by far easier to remain the same. That’s the paradox of both centaur objects and square aspects for astrology.<\/p>\n
Square aspects correlate to when you are put on the spot, requiring you to do something for relief. More often than not, whatever action you take to get off the spot has a fringe benefit. Usually the act of relieving the tension associated with a square aspect leaves you stronger, more resourceful and more confident than before. That’s growth. It’s not easy, but you are better off for the effort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Centaur objects, like Chiron and Orius, correspond to a more subtle (though no less powerful) form of tension — that of carrying a burden. It’s like putting yourself on the spot wherever you are, whatever you are doing.<\/p>\n
Resolving the burdens associated with centaurs is thus more complex than just acting to resolve tension. A bigger, more specific response is required of you. Nevertheless, growth takes place when you deal with the weighty matter in question, defining (or re-defining) your very being as result. That’s growth too, in a more evolved form.<\/p>\n
That is also how it makes sense that there are more centaurs (17 formally named so far) than types of square aspects (basically three: cardinal, fixed and mutable squares). Being confronted by a greater complexity of stimulus requires a more specific set of responses.<\/p>\n
Orius was named less than a year ago, in January of 2013, following its discovery in April of 2009. Because it was discovered during our first full year of Pluto in Capricorn since Benjamin Franklin was pulling strings (of kites and otherwise), it is an object signifying the complex stimuli of our current historical and astrological era.<\/p>\n
Shortly following its naming, Philip Sedgwick<\/a> (one of astrology’s foremost authorities on centaur objects) concluded that the scant mythology behind the name was of little use for astrology. Based upon “understanding derived from astronomical data” however, Mr. Sedgwick was able to convincingly correlate Orius with one of the greater, and more common, burdens of our era for you and everybody else at once — the need for “a clear distinction between worth and worthiness.”<\/p>\n A lot of importance is placed on material worth, almost to the exclusion of everything else. You probably know the feeling of unworthiness that goes with lack of money or material goods. Yet, those who are celebrated for their economic worth are seldom worthy of your trust, which says volumes right there.<\/p>\n The burdensome discrepancy between being a worthy person with no money as opposed to a wealthy person whom you would not trust with a trust is a complex dilemma that requires more than a single act to relieve. It requires your discernment of when and how to distinguish yourself according to worthiness as a priority (unless you actually want the greater burden of being untrustworthy, which only money can buy).<\/p>\n To have the Sun and Moon conjoin (for a New Moon) in the same degree of Sagittarius as Orius thus indicates your probable best practice for growth for the lunation to follow. The mutability of Sagittarius encourages even the most penurious to evolve while there is still time. The symbolism of Sagittarius’ elemental fire, in turn, provides both the passion to persevere and the idealistic emphasis to overcome what the square to Chiron indicates.<\/p>\n The square aspect received by the Sagittarius triple conjunction from Chiron’s Pisces placement\u00a0represents the part about growth not being easy. Chiron itself is not easy, among other things corresponding to the complexity of maturing to re-define yourself as somebody who can do more than just acquire (or provide) money and other forms of material wealth while still pulling your own weight and helping those less fortunate.<\/p>\n When you consider how so many ‘successful’ people end their lives with plenty on the outside and an empty feeling on the inside, you get an idea of just how heavy the burden can be.<\/p>\n When you look at how many others disavow a life solely devoted to acquisition so as to receive more than they give, it will give you an idea of how you should act to get off the spot that immediacy puts you on next week. Act with the New Moon so as to realize the greater promise of extending your growth this year though the rest of the month. Act so as to end this year will fewer regrets even if it means less material gain. What you gain by defining yourself as more wealthy on the inside will more than make up for it.<\/p>\n Offered In Service<\/em><\/p>\n Len is available for astrology readings.
