The Sun returns to Aquarius at 10:52 pm EST Sunday to illuminate what makes us one. Last year, Eric shared his own illumination of Aquarius as the sign of “Some Of Us Here<\/a>,” an interpretation which has no doubt been verified by your experience. This year, aspects the Sun makes upon ingress to Aquarius will extend upon Eric’s epiphany and demonstrate how, even among the divisions humans create, there are also connections in common to creation itself.<\/p>\n

This year, when the Sun enters the fixed air of Aquarius, it will immediately complete a precise (to the degree) grand air trine with dwarf planet Makemake (retrograde in the first degree of Libra) and centaur object Asbolus (likewise retrograde in the first degree of Gemini).\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Aquarius, Libra and Gemini have in common is the ancient element of air. What the Sun, Makemake and Asbolus have in common is how they correspond to issues that address both the social divisions and earthly connections among us. What they all have in common at the inception of solar Aquarius, 2014, is the grand\u00a0trine aspect.<\/p>\n

Ordinary trines\u00a0connect two objects that are in the same degree of two different signs that share the same elemental identity — fire, earth, air or water. Such aspects happen frequently, corresponding to ease and flow.<\/p>\n

Grand trines are less frequent. It takes three objects to play, which does not happen every day, much less on a day when the Sun shifts auspiciously from one signature to another to complete the circuit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A grand trine is a circuit because for every elemental identity there are three signs that share it, equidistant from each other on the zodiac circle. Because of their equidistance, signs that share the same element in common constitute the points of an equilateral triangle — an ancient symbol of connection.<\/p>\n

Hence, objects forming a grand trine symbolize grand, sweeping connections as well as ease and flow regarding the nature of the connecting element.<\/p>\n

Both in tangible reality, and with astrology, the elemental nature of air is rather sweeping in and of itself. As those of us in North America are finding out, the actual flow of real air easily connects us to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, carrying radioactive particles from Fukushima, Japan, in a few days.<\/p>\n

As with reality, so in astrology. That is how the Sun’s first aspect upon entering Aquarius may be expected to precipitate with some sweeping connections for you. It is further possible to anticipate the nature of those connections by corresponding the three objects involved in the grand trine that distinguishes the inception of solar Aquarius this year.<\/p>\n

The Sun is as straightforward as can be. As Robert Hand put it (in his book Horoscope Symbols<\/em>), the Sun is “day, light, and consciousness.” Hence, one corner of Sunday’s grand air trine, the precipitating corner, is indicating that your part is likewise straightforward — it’s appropriate to be awake and aware. If you can manage to keep your mind, eyes, ears and heart open as Aquarius receives the Sun, you will receive the message.<\/p>\n

That’s easier said than done, however. By dividing ourselves into “exclusive groups and subgroups” (as Eric put it nearly a year ago), we lose sight of our connections with each other and creation itself. By way of restoring that sight, Makemake and Asbolus complete the grand air trine.<\/p>\n

As Eric has mentioned more than once, Makemake corresponds with how things got to be the way they are now. As regards to human beings, we got to be the way we are, for better and worse, precisely because it is in our nature to group up.<\/p>\n

A single human against the world is inherently a hurtin’ unit. Community is the reason we got this far. The trait of forming groups with a common interest can also get out of balance, creating an us-against-nature mentality that undermines any human community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Makemake returning to Libra (symbolized by the balance-beam scales) for the first time in literally centuries indicates the time for balance has come. For no matter how big or how strong any group of human creation, the connections to creation itself must remain open and continue to flow, lest disaster ensue.<\/p>\n

That’s because we are all made of the same stuff that constitutes any other being, and indeed any object in the sky. Most fundamentally among that stuff is carbon — the stuff of life.<\/p>\n

On the eve of a new Planet Waves annual edition (The Mars Effect) making its debut, we are reminded of how a previous annual edition (Small World Stories) connected carbon with the astrological meaning of the centaur object Asbolus used by many astrologers today.<\/p>\n

As Small World Stories<\/a> informed us, the name “Asbolus” translates as “carbon dust,” and carbon in its dustiest (or molecular) form is common to every form of life we know. Because a single carbon atom can form four bonds with other atoms or molecules, carbon is the means of connection from which organic molecules are built, and the means from which life can flow as mortal beings flow in and out of the world. It is also the basis of our connection to each other and all of creation. It is a connection that is never less than essential no matter how we group up.<\/p>\n

From that connection come the greatest truths that make us one. We all come here the same way. We all leave the world the same way as well. Through the air that flows over the land and seas, the greatest distances and most powerful separations between some of us here and others of us also here are rapidly closed. It’s not only by the transmission of radioactive materials but also in how the unbalanced atmospheric quotient of carbon (generated by an us-against-nature mentality) has put all of us here in the same boat of global warming.<\/p>\n

It is those truths you should be conscious of when the inception of a new week and the inception of solar Aquarius coincide. If you can do that, just that, the rest will easily flow. It will easily follow how all of that which makes us one will amount to nothing unless you can do your conscious part to be among the some of us here who are setting an example for all of us here: by finding a way every day to really and actually be one-with.<\/p>\n
