Heliocentric sidereal planetary cycles Astrology - the Universe empowers us
with its limitless energies on our evolutionary path.
------------------------------
Their conjunction took place on 31st of July / 1st of August 2020 with Pallas as an almost exact companion, therefore a “triple conjunction”, which took place in late sidereal Sagittarius “on” Saturn's Southnode and a tiny bit passed Pluto's Southnode and roughly a "half sign" passed the one of Jupiter.
Their next conjunction will take place in February 2033.
The Players:
Jupiter is expansion / evolution and this includes “higher learning”, our ideals and beliefs and consequently expectations on a personal level and on societal level. How do we belief and expect the world to be like?? On the more physical side he’s about learning, “truth” and justice, travelling, foreign countries and cultures (to expand one’s “horizon”), physical movement in nature (kind of like “fullness of life”)…
Pluto speaks about transformation, the process of death and rebirth and therefore he’s very powerful. Pluto as the “gatekeeper” 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, and the misuse of that - just like nuclear power can be used in various ways…
A short overview of the original conjunction:
As they met just a half year after the Saturn - Pluto conjunction and on Saturn's Southnode, it seems clear, that Saturn themes are involved, as well as Pallas themes as she's an "observer" here from far north of the ecliptic.
A transformation process seems to be in motion, one that involves the change of view-points, in order to expand one's consciousness. Truth, idealism, sound and vibration are all themes here, yet, their meaning and understanding may lay in a "deeper or higher" realm...
We can "expand and expand" but which "vessel/container" can hold that much!!??
Vibration is the trick here as what doesn't serve/match the vibration radiated, will fall away in order to make space for what does - a processes that can become pretty "noisy".
"Learning to use the “higher communications”, which are slumbering within us… to use the cosmic lyra, to bring our bodies to play a symphony that makes the soul dance… "
Jupiter and Pluto first 150° on 6th of June 2025
Jupiter at 7°1’54” sidereal Taurus and Pluto at 7°1’54” sidereal Capricorn
Jupiter and Pluto circled red
Jupiter is in almost exact conjunction with the Centaur Asbolus (a Seer)
Pluto is accompanied by Pallas. Pallas has already moved a bit ahead of Pluto.
As Pallas was with Jupiter and Pluto during their conjunction, it's interesting she plays a role again in this chart.
Jupiter is in a 30° aspect with Sedna in Taurus and Pluto 120°.
Jupiter is in a 60° aspect with Mercury in Leo and Pluto in 150° angle.
3 days earlier, Saturn formed his exact last 30° angle to Eris.
6 days after this angle, Ceres will conjoin Nessus exact.
Later in the month, Vesta will conjoin Juno for one of their surprisingly rare conjunctions.
The 150° angle is called a Quincunx – it describes the start of the last 30° before an opposition – it’s an angle, that is “preparing and ending” something similar to the 330° angle, yet, different.
The 150° angle goes 2,4 times into a cycle – it takes 5 whole cycles at 360° to find the resonance with the 150°.
Another “calculation” way to look at this, is that we started with a conjunction and went through each 30° part, which would mean, we have ended the 5th time such a 30° part and are starting the 6th one.
The number 5 does relate to change, allowing “curvature” in physical terms, to pentagonal patterns and in astrological terms to expression. The number 6 relates to an equilibrium and hexagonal structures (a six-pointed star, which includes triangles or tetrahedra), and in astrological terms to improvement.
When we though now integrate their conjunction area or “state of own development” (orbit – Southnodes), we need to “step up” and apply an integrative interpretation here.
Southnode placements or “beyond”, does mean the expression of the planets themselves have reached a point where we “harvest” and “apply / use” what we got in the sense of understanding as then the “need” for judgement in this direct sense “dissolves” and discernment instead “kicks in”. When discernment is the basis, we simply choose what got “potential” and leave the rest behind – so, in this sense we do not “look back” (a Pluto theme).
Pluto stands not only for “death and rebirth” but also “cause and effect” as well as power. We can through Jupiter’s “expansion” and “higher view point and learning” come to a different “conclusion” of why things happen the way they happen, why we see in our life things like “challenged structures” or “power games”. We may come to the understanding how things work and relate on a “higher level” and so we might start to “improve” our own “awakened conscious way”.
In more "earthly terms" we may be "teaching and learning" - kind of being connected in scenarios that can resemble the idea of giving a "torch over" or taking one "on".
Jupiter is in this chart of 13th of June 2025 in very close approaching conjunction with Asbolus the Seer and “prophet” (exact 22.06.2025). Asbolus is a Centaur and as such of “bridging qualities”. Asbolus’ orbit connects the realms of Jupiter to those of Neptune and Pluto (he stays just outside of these 3 orbits but cuts through those of Saturn and Uranus).
They stand 42 minutes apart in longitude – Jupiter only a few degrees away from his own Northnode in the middle of Gemini), just above the “light” of Orion’s torch and at Castor’s foot – Asbolus north of the ecliptic in the constellation Auriga the Charioteer.
I think this is a very fortunate and helpful combination for the task at hand, as it might enable us to “see” what we need to “improve” (our vibration probably and for some maybe especially the “belief system” – to switch from impossible to possible). In astronomical terms we deal with the great influence Jupiter got on the solar systems barycenter (“around” which also the Sun rotates). So, if we use this “influence” in a “masterful” way or in a “premature” way is the question.
Pluto stands in the official borders of the constellation Capricorn in “descending” mode. He’s here though still in an area of “in between” in the sense of “outlining stars” and influenced by northern and southern constellations. We have in the north Aquila the Eagle as well as Lyra the lyre and in the south Indus the “Shaman”. We have a similar theme here, the vibration or “music” played, focus and sight as well as the “holistic, masterful” interpretation and use of the “natural world” or “life” in general (one can interpret “nature” as being everything, including the whole cosmos, so we’re here also talking about “natural laws”, which transcend the “men made laws”).
There's a close relationship or "collaboration" here with the Saturn-Eris cycle.
Sometimes we "grow" something with an intention and it might be good for "that part" of the situation but may become "limiting" after that particular "intention or purpose" is fulfilled and in order to go on, build something new, we may have to "identify" those parts and discern their potential.
Jupiter and Pluto - first trine (120 degrees) on 14th of June 2024
This cycle has passed through another step - the second "square part" has started with the 90 degrees, yet had also to "finishing up" the first "square part" - now we're going into the part of the cycle, which starts with the first 120 degrees angle (in reference to the conjunction) and making the "middle" of this quarter and the "first 3rd" of the whole cycle.... yet, with this we same time start to create the second 3rd of the cycle...
It's a "shift" towards an expressing energy, the expression of inspiration in some ways... yet, in reference to the conjunction, it's more like "fulfilling" in a harmonious integrative way, whereas at the square we tried to "fight".... there's one thing to be aware of though - the second quarter is bringing us "symbolically" the fruits on the trees at its end, but now we're first gonna enjoy the flowers...
The first half (180 degrees) of a cycle is "subjective", building, growing and often without the knowing of where it will lead to... we can know, what we plant (potatoes, a fruit tree, vegetables) but we never know, what will happen in the process... "Trust" is involved and a "need"/idea to be fulfilled.
When major evolutionary steps are happening within the global or even universal currents, then we can't go to our "handbook or manual" and know how to go forward, or what will happen - "old concepts" of how to react or respond to specific situations may no longer work as something else, an additional "whatever" became a player...
For example the themes of A.I. - we have this "learning machine" that is scaring many and enriching others... the long term outcome isn't known yet and neither is, if those machines could really become a "threat" to Human kind or not....
YET, looking at the areas this specific trine is happening in and what Jupiter just has moved through - could it be, that the A.I. theme is just a "reflection" of what is going on for all of us "internally", a possible realization of us being "a biological version of A.I." following the principles of universal laws...
"Learning to use the “higher communications”, which are slumbering within us… to use the cosmic lyra, to bring our bodies to play a symphony that makes the soul dance… "
Was a sentence from the conjunction theme - "higher communication" can manifest in various ways and forms.... with Sedna involved, it might also mean that we may really go "our own ways"... and sometimes, that can be as simple as changing the perspective - a whole new world can open with such a simple step...
If we have gone "rock bottom" at one point or another, have been hurt, disappointed, betrayed and and and, can though be just the "gateway", the push into the own powers and recognition of Self... and with that - a "rebirth".....
There's always everything at play - the octaves, waves, frequencies but also the reflections, correspondence etc. - the Universal laws always are at play, if we're conscious of them or not... but "understanding" is not only revealing but leading to a creative action.... (by the way, action doesn't mean it has to be "extreme" or big etc.)
------------------------
Jupiter stands in the earlier part of sidereal Taurus:
The early degrees of Taurus are under the influence of the constellation Perseus including Star Algol, and the Pleiades. This area is about healing and realizing the own demons and shadows. Our outer world is mirroring the inner world, so through the picture/life-situation a reflection of the inner world is presented and needs attention in order to be able to heal/change or its power and possibility recognized. Perseus used in his myth the reflection literally to finally kill Medusa. The Star Algol represents the one frozen/stoned in fear, trapped in habits and limiting beliefs, and no longer able to move but brings a forthgoing feel, if we’re brave enough to use Perseus’ (or our) abilities.
Pluto stands in the earlier part of sidereal Capricorn...
The first half of Capricorn is therefore all about the "manifestation" or structuring. The "higher" our vibration, the clearer we are and depending our intention, such "structuring" is taking more or less effort (or perception of such). Let me explain with an example:
A Musician might be very passionate and not perceiving it as "work" but in order to practice and maybe writing music, a "solitary" space is needed, the Musician will also think about how to make the creations available for the public.... when this Musician sent out clear "intention and wishes" to the Universe, the possibilities and chances will open, ready to be taken with "earthly action".... Therefore, the more aligned we are with our creations, the easier it becomes - kind of "effortless" but if we do, just to survive without any "passion" / dedication behind it, it may feel "hard and heavy"....
Other interesting features in this chart is, that Jupiter is still in conjunction with Sedna and Pluto of course also in trine with her, besides Pluto being in his first square with Haumea and with the "testing and radiating" 135 degrees angle with Orcus, and Neptune approaching his first 60 degrees from Pluto...
Interesting also the fact, that Saturn stands now at the longitude of the next Saturn-Pluto conjunction.... which, in my opinion adds some "futuristic" energy to this whole chart, maybe even in the sense of "foresights" or "quantum jumps"....
Jupiter and Pluto both are also in aspects with Venus in earlier sidereal Gemini (Solstice point) - Venus is 30 degrees ahead of Jupiter and therefore 150 degrees ahead of Pluto.
So, we have a direct link to the heart and values here - when Venus was with Pluto, it was actually a triple conjunction with Mars as well.... transformation and unity between the feminine and masculine principles in a "teamwork".
The Jupiter – Pluto cycle first square end of June 2023
Their conjunction was actually a triple conjunction together with Pallas and took place at 28° sidereal Sagittarius on 31st of July / 1st of August 2020… this placement also means; it took place on Saturn's Southnode and the Saturn – Pluto conjunction did take place just a few months before that between Pluto’s and Saturn’s Southnodes and was a triple conjunction too but with Ceres…
The entanglement here is important as you will see “step by step”…
A first square is kind of like the “Northnode” of a cycle – it’s rising energy, the new that wants to be “actualized” / confirmed … it’s like the growing, organizing of the “inspirational” phase of the cycle is done and now an outwards activity is asked for… in some ways like “spring energy”….
Jupiter talks about expansion also of consciousness, higher learning and viewpoints as well as resulting understanding, also beliefs which can be a tool as in like "placebo and nocebo effects"....
Pluto is about the deep transformational processes, the deep hidden and secret (or maybe sacred) and as that "underworld" very powerful...
Some “cycle history”
I have never done a complete Jupiter – Pluto research – yet, I have done it with the Saturn– Pluto cycle (which was the first one, as I saw them starting a new “cycle within cycles”)…. I asked myself: "when were Jupiter and Pluto meeting last in that approximate place of the 2020 conjunction"… it was on 23rd of May 1771.
And guess what – it was a quadruple conjunction with Jupiter – Pluto and Pallas and Ceres!!! While Saturn was under the nose of the lion in a 150° aspect…
Also – nodal axis do move – in that 1771 conjunction they stood both around 14 minutes south of the ecliptic (Jupiter 13°33’ – Pluto 14°9’) and their declination was only 15 seconds apart around 22°29’ south (of the celestial equator)… sigh, yet, at that time Pluto was still unknown….
Back to 2020 – their conjunction took place in an area that is “finalizing” Sagittarius – so a “culmination” there in this sense, the understanding of the themes of ideals, truth and communication on a higher level… when we include the constellation Octans roughly 60° south of the ecliptic and the constellation Lyra around 60° north of the ecliptic, we can right away see the themes of vibration and frequency – the cosmic lyre and the octaves to play – they always speak the truth - this also means they are together in a distance of 120 degrees and that means a harmonic trine and the ecliptic in the middle…
Have you ever tried to dance when the music of the “moment” doesn’t move you?? Yeah, it’s hard 😉, you can use trained movements but when there’s no resonance it’s also what one vibrates out, it's kind of "automatic' a bit "robotic"….
It goes much further than the problem of dancing – of course, it includes to detect the vibrational alignments or misalignments of things we hear but also about “alignments” in our bodies, the chakra system for example….
Especially as we have Pluto involved, we’re here talking about deep stuff, the “underworld”, the secrets etc., yet also "Earth and the gut", and importantly about deep transformational processes – Jupiter adds “expansion” (also of consciousness), higher learning and viewpoints, ideals and beliefs…
Learning to use the “higher communications”, which are slumbering within us… to use the cosmic lyra, to bring our bodies to play a symphony that makes the soul dance…
So, it’s a pretty impressive and important combination 😉 and they work not only on the individual level but as an outcome also on the societal and generational level…
Back to 2023 – Pluto stands in early sidereal Capricorn, just on the constellation cusp between Sagittarius and Capricorn and near the Northnode of Chariklo (note, she’s not far from there in here rising phase and plays a role also because of her being conjoined by Hygiea). Here he find themes like “focus”, observation, sacred “space” within and without etc.
Jupiter though, as you may remember, is still in separating conjunction with Eris and himself at the star Torcularis of Pisces… this star name translates to a wine-press or cellar – we could also see in it the theme of “essence”….
As Eris is on the “other side” of the Kuiper belt – we could say, she’s on the other side of that part of Pluto’s realm – if we want to work with these energies, there’s no “fear” allowed and hesitation does slow us down or even hinders us…. Eris theme is to see “reality”, the fact that the maybe not so comfortable things in our lives usually turn things around – yet, they’re not necessary, or not in any “extreme” way, once we show our willingness to apply what we have learned…
We’re dealing with soooo much Love…. It just makes me cry….
It’s truly eye and heart opening what Eris offers – and may even “catapult” us towards those fairly unknown planet’s energies that orbit far beyond her and with that to a consciousness far beyond the visible realm and far beyond our solar system… galactic and universal consciousness….
The 2020 Jupiter - Pluto conjunction ... geocentric / heliocentric mixed...
Conclusion: (Details below)
According the Principle of Rhythm as well as the Principle of Correspondence, everything happens in cycles – within, without, above and below…. The year 2020 is a year in which we have many astrological/astronomical cycles that ended and start anew.
The cycles become active from a heliocentric view not the same time as from geocentric view.
The Jupiter – Pluto – Pallas geocentric conjunction happens on (universal time) 12th of November at 21.38…. at 27°34’39” and Pallas at 27°35’14” sid Sagittarius
At that time, in heliocentric view they’re already in the new cycles at around 7 degrees and 14 degrees Capricorn.
--------------------
The heliocentric conjunction was on 31st of July 2020/1st of August 2020 (depending time zones) - also in this chart, Pallas very close:
In the heliocentric chart/conjunction, Saturn has already moved into Capricorn as well as Chariklo, yet, she's still close too and close to her own Northnode, while the conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto took place like ON Saturn's Southnode...
This is mixed geocentric / heliocentric - yet, originally written for the geocentric conjunction.
Throughout the year, the planets and asteroids involved, have been in their retrogrades, going direct (or will soon) and have put an emphasis on certain themes as they didn’t really move much… We were forced to look and see, what is going on, to shift our view point. We did gain all the information necessary to change and shift our ways. Everything is always in change, I know, just now we have a global theme that can either pull us apart or bring us closer together in thoughts, ideas and tasks. We have the power, the knowledge and the wisdom for change. It seems we should now go towards these new goals and ideas and bring the change into “motion” or better said “structure” (Saturn).
We’re in the second half of the year of the “revelations” but there will be more – probably in a “broader” way, really “examining” all the structures (Saturn in Capricorn!!) and within the next 2 weeks also Jupiter and Pallas are to move into Capricorn – Saturn is about maturity, responsibility, continuity – I know, he may sound “heavy” but at the end, it’s a really wonderful energy, when we can stop to blame and judge everyone but finally find the power within ourselves, growing up and taking responsibility for all that we create including the new “structures” that we’re building collectively according the Universal Laws.
Our emotions and feelings are energy (created by our thoughts) and as that it’s contagious therefore, when we take responsibility for ourselves, we simultaneously take responsibility for others/collective. Pallas with her beautiful, creative, innovative, solution orientated energy helps – she wants equality within, so we’re able to create that which we really want and not what we fear and try to avoid. What we try to avoid, we’re attracting (Universal law!). I know, not everybody is right there yet, and so there might be a lot of turmoil going on, during the change period but the history shows us, that in the end, Humans go forward in compassion and “togetherness” – those are values that we hold within our genetics 😊 This “heart energy” is also needed to help with the Vesta – Lucifer conjunction as well as with the Venus/Moon conjunction opposing Mars.
As so often in life and history we’re in the situation to be torn between what we actually want and are passionate about and that which we fear as well as our doubts. It can go both ways as always – we either step over our doubts and courageously decide to overcome fears and boundaries to fulfill what our inner self knows already or we “devote” ourselves to the fears and doubts and step into a “downward spiral” – the decision is ours – within the Venus and Mars opposition are similar two energies at work – are we going to have a revolution of the heart or are we going to use these energies against each other!!?? ….as always, there is further help available 😉 Uranus at 12°53’ in Aries stands in a trine to Vesta/Lucifer. Ohhh yes, he likes it “sudden” and surprising but he’s also scientific and future orientated - helpful as we’re in a cycle of change with the emotions heightened, his “cooler”, logic thinking comes in handy. The other “Thinker” and Messenger is Mercury and he stands kind of alone in Libra under the “knee of the Virgin”, so in more an “airy area” and in trine with Ceres in Aquarius. So he’s in communication with the nurturing, feminine energy, which herself stands in the future orientated sign of Aquarius. It seems, our own inner communication “technology” could be really well tapped into, to get the “higher view point” so needed in these times – nurture ourselves, so we can go through these times of uncertainty and tap into what we really want for ourselves, to trust our inner voice. Neptune stands in Aquarius as well and to me he’s kind of the “overseeing force” here in some ways. He stands “free’, so we can use him as the escape – in positive or negative “form”. We can transcend or we can feel sorry for ourselves and go into the downward spiral – as always, we decide….
There are many conjunctions, oppositions and squares in this time – that means challenges but also a hidden “present”, if we follow our “real heart”… so much opportunity is here, if we decide to look “through” the challenge towards the end of the tunnel and step through to come out at the other end, transformed, changed toward our true self.
Two Days after this major circle started, we’re already with another New Moon – kind of wonderful if you ask me 😉 A time to go within to define our wishes and dreams and to work towards them – fitting isn’t it… It’s like this new moon will emotionally be a “transponder” with this cycle energy – a “blue print” not only for the new lunar cycle but also for the whole cycle circle of 12,5 years. It will be the “wishes and dreams” we take into Capricorn within the next 2 weeks and with it also to the next full moon end of November – it will be all put to the test the next decade, if it’s possible to put those ideals into a “livable”, practical structure. Venus and Eris are in opposition – remember, “oppositions”/polarities are about integrating the energies, to merge them and not to fight them - Eris wants to expose the truth about our surrounding as well as our relationship with that, so also about our inner, own truth. Venus is our heart and when we truly listen to our heart and intuition, we will know how to discern and will know the truth and how to act….. We do not need to take down the tree in order to see the forest!!!
Some Details:
Jupiter and Pluto at 27°34’39” sid. Sagittarius. Jupiter declination 21°56’44”S and Pluto declination 22°37’17”S
Pallas at 27°35’14” but northern declination and latitude. Pallas conjoins the star Al Mizar of Aquila.
Vesta at 12°32’3” conjunct Lucifer at 12°42’49” sid. Leo and also in loose conjunction Orcus in sid. Leo at 17°46’56”. They are in Trine with Uranus at 12°53’55”R sid. Aries
Moon at sid Libra 22°57’25” conjunct Venus at 24°2’22” a57’20nd are both opposing Mars in Pisces at 19° as he stations direct. Heliocentric Mars conjoins Uranus in Aris at 13°.
Heliocentric Jupiter and Saturn conjunct in Capricorn at 7°24’ and 6°51’
Heliocentric Neptune at 24°37’55” Aquarius and Ceres at 24°39’37” (Geocentric both in Aquarius but Ceres around 5° while Neptune only 2° off)
Jupiter is our “higher Self”, in the meaning of “higher learning”, expansion in general, our ideals and dreams on a personal level but also for society as a whole. How would you dream the world to be like?? On the more physical part he’s about learning, the law, justice, travelling, foreign countries and cultures (to expand one’s “horizon”), physical movement in nature…..
Pluto speaks about transformation, the process of death and rebirth and therefore he’s very powerful. This power is feelable, is within us – which way are we going to use it!?
Pallas (Athena) is Jupiter’s “brain child” (Greek mythology) and is of a fearless character. She fights if needed for justice and harmony. She’s intelligent and creative, put the pieces of information together to find innovative solutions to problems.
Sagittarius is about higher learning like a “truth-seeker” or Philosopher or similar… It’s about integrating different view point through that higher learning gained through experience. He’s about foreign lands, galaxies but also ideals and visions. Highly intelligent and intuitive. Later part of Sagittarius as soul-truth has more and more unfolded and the path becomes clearer; practical ways or livable ways for expression of the ideals and knowing unfold. Above Sagittarius the constellations Aquila and Lyra, South the Peacock. Nick Anthony Fiorenza sees the Lyra constellation as a symbol for spherical resonance and the Universal Law of Resonance. Which I think makes much sense – or better said, it “resonates” with me. The lyre was invented by Hermes who gave it to Apollo. The lyre can be used for healing, beauty and art but also as a messaging tool but to whom and with which purpose stands somewhere else….. Aquila, the Eagle, is about vision – but not only the ones for ourselves and our personal future but in a more global sense as well – integrating both tasks. The tail in Sagittarius – the body over the cusp – the head and eye at ca. 5° Capricorn. At 25° Southnode Pluto – at 28° Southnode Saturn
Vesta is our inner, sacred flame – so it’s our devotion but she’s also about “time sharing” in the mythology – how much are we going to “endure” in order to keep our flame burning, to find our “purpose”/passion and acting on it. She’s also Saturn’s daughter and as such they share the theme “commitment”…. Lucifer (from Christian beliefs the “rebellious fallen Angels” – the “Lightbringer”) he brings the “evil” to be looked at, understood and “rejected” by saying “no”, or to be integrated as a natural part of ourselves. The “light” of truth shines from within the “dark”. Leo does have a lot of energy but he also likes to lay down in the Sun and let it shine onto him. A balance/harmony of physical power to the powers of a creative mind that likes to express in a confident, pride, leading but yet warm and open hearted, way. The star Regulus is the “alpha” of the constellation Leo, marks the heart of the Lion. Leo is about taking the stage of life, confidently express and shine, highly creative and intelligent, “royal” integer and noble, passionate and loving. The later part of Leo, the tail, is less about the physical but more about transcending this physical, outshining part of Leo and translate it into and bring it toward the more grounded and responsible Virgo. To find a deeper truth, soul truth maybe…. But the passion of Leo is still very deeply feelable here. Don’t forget that the tails are used by animals not only to balance themselves but also to communicate….. In the Heliocentric chart, Lucifer is also tightly conjunct but with Mercury and Vesta nearby – all of that in sid. Cancer…. As Vesta is Saturn’s daughter, we should maybe have a little glimpse at him too – he’s in very early sid. Capricorn and in conjunction with Chariklo and they’re both parallel with Jupiter and Pluto… Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is in sid. Virgo, in conjunction with Venus on the way to be “new” in Libra….
Uranus is all about the unexpected, sudden and surprises but also about liberation and freedom; therefore, he’s also about science and the future. Anything from genius to madness…
Aries traditionally the sign of new beginnings including the innovation, “action” and leadership needed for that kind of tasks. It’s also about the Self – the Identity. Aries is of a lot of energy/power also in the meaning of physical energy and therefore also of sexuality. Aries stands along the ecliptic, the constellation Cetus the sea monster below and Andromeda above entering from Pisces and then constellation Cassiopeia (Andromedas mother, the queen) and further north, all 30° of Aries there is Cepheus (Andromedas father, the king) – in the myth, Andromeda was captured by Cetus due to her parents command, in order to calm Poseidon (king of the ocean) until Perseus came to free her. In modern Astrology Cetus is seen as the administration in all areas of life (birthcertifate to deathcertificate – all is about some kind of papers right), the duties we have to serve according tradition, society, politics and beliefs, which are often blocking and can even make us psychological and physically ill and yes, that is kind of the “enemy” of intuition and creativity.
Some Details:
New Moon at 28°0’ sid. Libra. Parallel (to the Sun) is Nessus in sid. Aquarius at 14°52’5”R.
Chariklo and Saturn in conjunction in early Capricorn
Venus in Virgo opposing Eris in Pisces
The Sun is our “center”, the life in its fullest expression and that’s what it’s about – confidently live/express/create the life according the inner/heart truth: to shine.
The Moon; intuitive, feminine power that influences so much on Earth and within ourselves. Our emotional “needs and wants” in material ways, that cover our inner, unconscious real needs and tasks and together with her Nodes describes our most personal evolutionary task.
Libra has become a kind of a strange sign, as it’s half of the virgin and then its own constellation. In ancient times, the virgin was seen standing and Libra as an own constellation bigger as having “gods” operating the scales and the scales were same time the claws of Scorpio. So, a lot of changes that Libra had to go through over the last few thousand years. Because of this, the first half of sid. Libra is actually “under the skirt and legs” of the Virgin – constellation of Virgo. As this “picture” drawn above, there is something mysterious about this part of the skies – “hidden under the skirt” – one needs to undress to find, so kind of lifting the veils but that’s more of a Neptunian theme, so maybe decoding the knowledge. Hidden purpose, sacred path and truth in life – hidden within.
The themes of the constellation and sign of Libra are balance, fairness, truth, equality, justice. The ancients saw Libra as the “judgement day” or the entrance to the afterlife or better said, the soul-path either trapped from lifecycle to lifecycle or mastered and freed…. In the constellation of Libra we “weigh and judge” ourselves and others as well as situations but as the scales themselves, we are asked to find balance and harmony against those self-destructive forces of judgement.
Much Love to you All,
Fran
