Heliocentric sidereal planetary cycle Astrology – the Universe guides and receives us in a seemingly endless spiral of evolution….
“Coincidence” is an illusion of separation
----------------------------------------------------------
the "common" paid one for US$21 for 6 months
equals US$ 3,50 a month
Timetable:
3rd of April 2024 Mars meets Chariklo at 18°38’ sidereal Capricorn
4th of April 2024 Juno at her Northnode around 25° sidereal Leo
9th of April 2024 Jupiter completes his first 30° “away” from Eris (separate post linked)
17th of April 2024 The Pluto – Orcus 135° angle becomes exact
Last year I wrote a post about their themes and the 135 degrees angle, when I first realized the importance of the angle (first edition on Substack, then import to here)...
It's called "Needful things" (linked).
I also wrote a FA's Astro-life post about Octagonal structures from various perspectives - silver and golden mean, pyramids and so on... Octagonal post link....
Pluto at 5°4’2” sidereal Capricorn and Orcus at 20°4’2” sidereal Leo
Pluto is also in approaching square to Haumea – representing fertile, mid-wife energy, that may also be linked to bloodlines and genetics…
The special thing about the Pluto – Orcus cycle or at times Orcus – Pluto cycle is, that they do not meet for conjunctions…. They usually come a little closer than 60° and the other "extreme" as far as around 150°...
They do this strange dance through “interchange of speed” as I like to call it. This "interchanging” is a process that takes many years. The faster one slows down, the slower one excellerate, until they travel at “same speed” (amount of seconds of longitude on the ecliptic) and angular distance until the excellerating one of the Two "overtakes" the other one, to then either increase or decrease the angle....
This time around Pluto is faster than Orcus….
The last time, they were apart 135° was in 1860 but then it was Orcus who was faster.
The last time it was as now, was in December 1773 with Pluto in very early sidereal Capricorn and Orcus around the middle of sidereal Leo - therefore ca. 250,5 years.
The next time, they will have an “interchange of speed” with their “same speed time” starting in early 2061 until January 2065 – they’re during this time 147,5° apart….
Such a change means, the quality of the aspect changes from a first one to a last one…
Pluto and Orcus are showing similar orbital periods - Pluto 248 years and Orcus 245 years, yet these are for both "calculated times". Pluto was discovered in 1930 and therefore not yet completed an orbit since and with Orcus discovery it's even much shorter....
In their "special dance performance" of "apparent speed changes", I think we can't think of their "angle quality" in comparison to orbital periodicity....
-------------------------------------------
Back to our current 135° angle – this degree is also called a sesquiquadrate or simply spoken 3 times 45° which shows us the 135° angle is in relationship to octagonal geometry and therefore an “8 pointed star or 8 corner shape”.
The octagonal shapes relate to timing, but also to rituals, celebrations and similar themes – it can also mean “preparation” for something. The theme of “radiation or vibration” is included as well, just like a ritual or ceremony of any kind can change the own vibration or let’s say “emotional state”….
Orcus is still opposed by Nessus while Pluto still forms a trine to Sedna.
Pluto speaks about transformation, the process of death and rebirth and therefore he’s very powerful. Pluto as the “gate-keeper” of the inner-world, can bring us insights – the realization of our inner beauty and power – this realization is transformative, in which way though, is totally up to us…. He's also about power, he's also about the misuse of that - just like nuclear power can be used in various ways…

Orcus represents the awareness and awakening to our own life purpose and soul oath. Orcus belongs to the “Plutonian bodies” and is in relationship with Neptune as well as Pluto and therefore speaks of greater evolutionary cycles, awareness, and consciousness. Orcus is “silent” – Pluto is “loud”. Orcus, the inner knowing and living accordingly – integrity and authenticity for the greater good of oneself and therefore also for the greater good of All.

I think, also Neptune does hold an important role, as Pluto and Orcus both are in relationships with Neptune’s orbit…
Neptune is the ruler of water, water can change and become ice or also mist/fog and blur our vision. He wants us to transcend anything that is in between our “core”, our fundament in order to know ourselves. Spirituality, esoteric, mysticism, dreams and illusions etc. are the traditional key words, as well as “escapism”. Neptune can also be thought of as a bridge and gate between the inner and outer realms and in this sense, he works closely together with Pluto – we need to gain “clarity” (especially of Self).

Hygiea has moved on to stand over the equinox point in sidereal Pisces, yet still close to Neptune.
Furthermore, is Neptune conjoined by Venus both in early sidereal Pisces.
Venus, Neptune, Pluto and especially Orcus (near his most southern part of orbit) are all south of the ecliptic, which indicates subconscious or even unconscious themes.
Just as we had Mercury involved directly with the Jupiter – Uranus conjunction, we have now Venus as the 2nd inner planet involved, linking this all onto the personal level.
-------------------------------------------
As I have stated many times - we're in "revealing times"...
Revelations can happen within any theme and any life situation or "stage", within and without etc.
We're also in times, within which "essence", principles etc. are becoming visible.
This opens chances and opportunities of all kinds.
We may no longer only have to deal with our subconscious "knowledge", hidden talents and thorns but also the actual unconscious themes, which means we have to prepare ourselves to deal with that which we don't know even exists...
To me, this is like adding a level in a computer game - therefore, nothing "bad" but full with surprises and challenges...
When we look at the chart in a "broader way", we see that we have lots of "cusp activity", which also indicates many shifts and changes, some more "preparation" and some more like "celebration"... it also means a bit of a letting go of the "old" or the strength or bonds we hold to that, to allow something new to come/grow...
If we want to change something in life or in "bigger pictures", we may need to allow other ideas to surface and act on them instead of on the ideas of the past that didn't work....
With Pluto and Orcus we're dealing with deep stuff and the chance to take a "quantum jump", yet, it needs the bravery, will and understanding in order to step towards a "surrender" to self...
I think, we may observe values to be "purified" - this may include to make an inventory, shrinking to health, discovering and generally a "transcending" energy, which may bring clarity within themes we would not have thought about yet...
Yet, it's important to take the "spiritual" part and memory into account as well as the "stillness" - if we're so loud all the time, busy, active etc., we may actually "miss" what is hidden right in front of our nose or deep within because we can access what may have been "hidden"/unconscious before...
Trust into the Self, the fantasy, the unknown possibilities on all levels...
There may be things crumbling (shrinking), disappearing etc., yet, it's up to each of us, if we look at this as being a disaster, destruction or similar, or if we see the chances and benefits within it.....
With Mars south of the ecliptic and Chariklo north, which here now means, Chariklo has shifted into the “outskirts” of the constellation Aquarius, while Mars remains in the constellation Capricorn.
Mars near the stars Armus and Dorsum of Capricorn and Chariklo between the stars Albali and Albulaan of Aquarius.
Mars is traditionally the “God of war” – innovative, vital and active, also of leadership qualities, how we apply our “willpower”, our inner force. Really a lot of physical and “sexual” energy, the divine masculine principle (can have a lot to do with “protection”). Immature Mars can be very impulsive and if afflicted he can express as “explosive, ballistic” power.
Chariklo is Apollo’s “daughter” and as that a very benevolent Being when it comes to the healing art-sciences that work with any kind of harmony and resonance. But she also stands for the “refugee”/sacred places and the inner “sacred” space, which includes discernment.
Within the middle part of Capricorn, the energies shift from the more solitary, practicing and “shamanistic” energies to an additional sharing, "futuristic" or "enthusiastic" energy. This shift is marked by the stars Albali of Aquarius and Armus of Capricorn at around 17 degrees sidereal Capricorn, they bring the communicative or sharing parts into the play. There’s also a bit of “liberating” energy in the sense of finding a way “through” sturdy/fixed/stubborn structures – like let’s say finding a “loophole” or the “gray zone”….
In the South of the ecliptic there are the two "Magellanic clouds", which are said to be "passing galaxies" or even “satellite galaxies of the Milky Way”, what we could interpret as being of "witnessing energy".
Their last conjunction took place on 3rd of May 2022 at around 10° sidereal Capricorn and their next one will be at almost 27° sidereal Capricorn, just passed his most southern part of orbit, meaning he’ll be ascending already then whilst he’s still descending now…
Their conjunction is in trine with the Earth-Moon system and Makemake in the middle of sidereal Virgo. The Earth in the constellation Virgo and Makemake north of the stars Diadem of Coma Berenices.
The Earth: represents our “playground”, how we anchor our incarnation, grounding, the energetics of the planet and with that the resonances and harmonies we create together with her.
Makemake is about the administration/management of natural resources – in many ways, it can be about physical/material things but also about our energy, strength, power, abilities, time and so on…
Pluto still stands at the longitude of Chariklo’s Northnode, whilst Juno approaching her own Northnode and standing ON Makemake’s Northnode (the Two share a very similar orbit-cross). Beside this, Mars and Chariklo stand close to Neptune’s Southnode and Venus’ aphelion (closest to Earth in her orbit).
----------------------------------------------------------
With all of this said, I think it’s safe to say, that we’re remined here and asked to share from our inside out, to observe our actions and where the “momentum” is coming from – to use our very own resources from within, to share the relationship we have with ourselves and with the world around us…
We can’t go “against ourselves” forever, it’s really not healthy 😉
We also have a “new chance” to actually get to know ourselves better as the signs and “reflections” become more and more obvious.
So, it’s in this sense a collaboration that shall be beneficial, also to ourselves – if we put “the other” first all the time, how can we be living our own life??
What do our actions and how we present ourselves in the community or towards others really represent? Do we present ourselves or what we think others might want us to be??
What comes to mind as a bit an extreme example: imagine a Butcher who had a horrible accident but survived and promised to become a vegetarian if he should survive and be able to live “normally” again. After his recovery he’s very challenged because he doesn’t eat meat anymore and his work as a butcher makes him feel sick. Even so he doesn’t know yet, what he’s going to do exactly, he quits his job. He goes for a beer to the nearby pub and meets a former school-friend and tells him the story… the school-friend says, well, you know, I’m building up an organic farm with chickens and cows as well and I could for sure use some additional help but well, the pay isn’t very high but you get free lodging and food…
Now imagine there's no accident or "outer force" that makes us think, realize, observe etc. but out of the "free will" we know that we're out of "alignment" and that things that seemed to be "random" suddenly start to make sense...
To be and "present" and act upon oneself and maybe an even "consciously united oneself" means that we listen to what our "higher self", soul, god-part etc. says and reflects into our world - it doesn't mean we all have to do the same thing, just because it's in "fashion" or trendy to do so...
Use your talents where they can be fulfilling and useful... and remember, we have a lot of "future oriented" things here and sometimes steps we take today may not bring the harvest tomorrow but open doors, crate opportunity and possibility....
From the above explained conjunction to Juno’s northnode it’s less than 24 hours – Mercury in this time transits north of Juno and is exact on the stars Tse Tseng of Leo during the Mars-Chariklo conjunction and exactly on the cusp between sidereal Leo and Virgo…
Funny enough, during the Jupiter – Eris 30° angle, Mercury will be just between Makemake and the Earth/Moon system…
Juno breaks up, to our conscious experience – we have done the first quarter of the “self-development” in this sense and that’s celebrated and communicated by Mercury in his speedy ways around the zodiac and the planets…
I find this very matching to the above said and what also the conjunctions and angles of last month are indicating….
I have a separate post about this cycle:

Heliocentric sidereal planetary cycle Astrology – empowering and connecting on our evolutionary paths
Timetable:
8th of April 2023 Juno – Sedna in sidereal Taurus (south of the ecliptic)
Already posted… Link to the post here…
18th of April 2023 Neptune at 0° Pisces
Already posted… Link to the post here….
22nd of April 2023 Venus – Mars in sidereal Cancer (under the Lion’s nose)
24th of April 2023 Ceres – Makemake in sidereal Virgo
Venus and Mars meet – Universal time: 22-04-2023 at 10:59:40, Thailand time 17:59:40 in sidereal Cancer at 24°18’32” in the constellation Leo.
Their last conjunction took place on 17th of May 2022 at 18°45’ sidereal Capricorn and the one before that on 22nd of June 2021 at 2°3’27” sidereal Leo and their next one in March 2024 at around 5 to 6 degrees Capricorn… - you can see the “back and forth”, the mirroring - conscious awareness and “adjustment” possible…
Venus represents our “heart”, the value system, therefore anything we define as valuable on all “planes” – what we consider beautiful, artful, a virtue etc. … Venus is often considered the "feminine principle"... If afflicted, qualities like strong desires, jealousy, greed, being judgmental etc. can show.
Mars does “mobilize” (on this level also willpower) – therefore there’s action, movement, leadership, self-reliance etc. … Mars is often considered the "masculine principle".... If afflicted there can be aggression, anger etc. towards the self or others in a destructive, harmful way…
Mars - martial - martial arts... another totally different way to look at Mars and the integration of other planets aspects... - really interesting ;-)
About 2 years ago, I came across a You Tube video about the interview of a Shaolin-monk in Germany… I thought that very interesting but didn’t further follow up on it…. Yet, as so often – things always pop up when you need them, lol (a Universal, natural principle) – so I struggled over his work again just this last week… He got a website – here the link – I started to follow some of his exercises – really impressive – on whatever level, with whatever further intention, it’s practical help to help oneself, really beautiful…
The Cancer constellation and its surroundings gives us the ability to “endure” a process and to trust into its purpose, even we may not “see” it clearly yet… if we therefore, trust ourselves and our innate abilities and further develop them, we can "face anything" - it's "womb energy", and even if it's dark in there, a "lightening" process takes place that may start subtle but can become brilliant... a metamorphoses in some ways.... but yet, one needs to "love" what one is carrying there, even that which looks "ugly" at first glance and that extends to ourselves, as we have "emerged" from a womb too... womb energy also means a "space" from where we can structure ourselves, rebirth ourselves in this sense - a metamorphoses that takes place...
With our “heart technology”, which includes even “neurotransmitters”, we can perceive a “higher value”, a “higher vision” of what got value and for what purpose…
Her Perihelion in Cancer is aligned by only minutes apart with Neptune’s Northnode – there’s truly “higher visions and clarity” perceivable – yet, those “veils of emotional tantrum” need to be lifted.
Venus is neighbored by Mercury, and Mars’ path of action (nodal axis) aligned with Mercury’s – we truly can say “think” before doing anything…. Everybody does have the ability to see through their emotions and getting to understand their function and therefore choose to act from a basis beyond emotions… what I personally practice to do, is to take a deep breath in a situation and go within (thoughtless - because one is always "wholly present") then with exhaling I usually know what is the right thing to do according my value system...
All over the constellations Cancer and Leo, we see Ursa Major – the big bear or wagon… there’s also Ursa Minor (Gemini and Cancer) and there’s also Leo minor… so, we have a lot of “little ones” involved… yes, as parents there’s responsibility to be taken on and one day, we need to let them go their own way - that also means, what we have created ourselves to be, will be lived…
A bit a different view point or "food for thought" about this: ... we’re within our bodies a “big family” too – a community or society that in best case, works together in harmony and our inherent “technology” includes the constant renewal of body parts – new cells form and replace older ones etc. … so, what programs are we giving our "children", what thanks we give to previous generations….
In the “Cancer part” of Ursa Major, there’s also the most northern area of orbit of the dwarf planet Eris – she’s on the other side of the Kuiper belt, or beyond Pluto’s realm – can we see some “benefits” in the experiences we went through and accept and thank for the lessons!!?? Can we accept a guidance that is often challenging, not comfortable, and maybe even violent etc. but loving in essence as of showing her “children” the reality as foundation for their future, the possibility for change or “adjustments”… As always – on all levels –
Mars is called the “planet of war” – Eris is called “strife and discord” – if we strife to be better than another, we have already lost but if we strife to be a better version of ourselves, then a whole Universe of possibilities opens up… - very wise, isn’t it…. There have been many wise Teachers throughout our history, who have thought us this – maybe it’s time we try to understand the meaning of this and try to integrate that into our lives…
Yet, it doesn’t mean there’s no “pain” anymore but when we know, why we are in pain we may suddenly not feel it anymore or “endure” it in anticipation…
Let's hope our new union of heart-value and action in this particular space of the heaven will bring us all "closer" to live our "united being" within oneself in a harmonic way... allowing this to oneself and to everyone else - as you're no copy, nobody else is a copy neither...
Now, the Ceres - Makemake conjunction, does play wonderfully into the theme – just as the Neptune theme and the conjunctions earlier this month and earlier this year – the story “unfolds” more and more….
Ceres and Makemake – Universal time: 24-04-2023 at 3:00 am, Thailand time 10:00 am in sidereal Virgo at 13°33’37” (Ceres constellation Virgo – Makemake just north of Diadem of Coma)
Ceres is often called “the Mother of the Asteroids”, even though she’s by now classified (Astronomy) as a minor planet. Her nodal axis is only 4 degrees from Venus’ in the Taurus – Scorpio axis… Ceres’ main theme is nourishment, which includes attention.
We all know, nourishment isn’t something applicable to food only!!!!
Makemake is a newly discovered dwarf planet in the realms between Pluto and Eris (Kuiper belt). Makemake’s nodal axis is only 1 degree away of Ceres’ and 3 of Venus’!!
Makemake is talking about the governance of resources – in whatever field that may be for one individually… he was discovered in a very “fiery” area of the heavens – lots of activity, energy that wants to be “used”… but how!! - so remember, energy flows where our attention goes ;-) ....
Yet, I’m sure, that the kind of “resources” Makemake is managing are of a “higher consciousness”, in the sense that even we're all "under" them, we can not consciously access them without personal belief and “work” for gaining at least some understanding … they’re of the realms of natural, universal law…
The fact that Ceres and Makemake are also linked with their paths of action makes this conjunction even more important and gives further emphasis also to the conjunction between Venus and Mars… a lot of entanglement here…
The placement of Makemake and the translation into our “human” perceptions comes through Ceres here (Venus as well, of course). Ceres is travelling through Virgo herself, whilst Makemake resides north, just above Diadem and near the M53 cluster in Coma Berenices constellation…
M 53 or Messier 53 is a globular cluster – this picture is a compilation of several images taken by Hubble / NASA.
This cluster lays a bit to the side of the big Galaxy clusters of Virgo and Coma…
When you read the text to the picture on the NASA site, you will read about the theme of unusual “re-juvenation” so to call it … young energy, that “breaks up” the “old or stagnant”…
Not to be misunderstood – not everything or everybody “old” is stagnant and not everything or everybody young is not…
When we think of this in combination with Ceres – we may have to think about what parts of us are kind of “stagnant” and in this sense “limiting” and find ways to nourish them, giving them new vitality in this sense…
We can breeze “new energy” into anything but if we do it the same way “as always” it may not work – just like if you organize a “surprise party” for your partner’s birthday every year, it may no longer be a “surprise” but an “old hat”, therefore, ... creativity out of the own resourcefulness is asked... on all levels ;-) .... we do have everything needed to fulfill our life's journey here within us, even if we have to learn (that's also a resource, or ability)...
…. all these 4 planets or 2 conjunctions here are totally entangled in so many ways...
Whoever you are, whatever you're doing - value and act on the signs you get, the down or uploads you perceive or whatever "channels" you use and perceive... giggles, I'll try my best to do the very same too ;-)
As you can see in the chart, Venus and Mars still close and both approaching Pallas in cuspal sidereal Leo at the star Ukdah of Hydra…. They’re all in trine with Jupiter and Eris in late sidereal Pisces and square to Uranus in sidereal Aries…
This means, the Venus-Mars conjunction is part of evolutionary growth, revelations about “reality” and with Uranus “bio technology” that we got already and that requires “action” and Pallas’ energy of “creative solutions” may just help with that – furthermore the 3 are also linked in a 135° angle (3 x 45°) to Ixion and Pholus in sidereal Sagittarius giving the themes of “lust for life” (life force energy can be used either way – even tyrannical) and perceptional abilities during transformational phases …
Ceres and Makemake are also linked to Pholus and Ixion by square – decisions, discernment…
Look at the Earth/Moon system just separating from the conjunction with Haumea (midwife energy – birthing) all in sidereal Libra, constellation Virgo (well, Haumea stands in the constellation Bootes – “shepherd”)… well, and they link in a square to Pluto in early sidereal Capricorn with Hygiea approaching…
Much Love to you All,
Fran
