- anchoring, discerning, living
The Earth – Sun axis meaning:
The Sun gives out, shines out the inner “light”, the core of what there is and what wants to “come out” undaunted and pure…. The Earth symbolizes the “fertile soil” from where everything emerges… So the Sun is giving and the Earth is receiving to the world to be seen and to be shone on again for further growth and eventual “going back” and become again fertile soil….
A cycle that is ongoing – nothing is wasted and nothing is without purpose but neither without intention…
This cycle repeats all the time but in a “spiraling” way, as what descends back into the soil is making soil again and therefore is integrated as a “fertilizer”… an evolutionary cycle….
Both, the Earth and the Sun go through their very own cycles and evolutionary growth as well as every other body in the solar system and every “star system” around the glactic center of their “individual galaxy” and clusters of galaxies around their central point - all is “fractal”.
more "general" stuff and what "came up" :
In the New Moon post, I already covered the beginning of January including the Venus – Earth conjunction…
Here the link: https://www.faempowerment.com/post/new-moon-and-earth-s-perihelion-invisible-presence
In the manifested, “linear” world we “only” have what already is – so desires for any particular “thing” is based on the “invisible” power of idea, ideal, creation and experience of the past… when we have an idea or ideal of something we want that isn’t existing yet or not known that it already exists, is therefore a creative process that may also undergo “changes”….
It’s therefore the “invisible” that is the “origin” of such a process – even if it’s the “alteration” of something existing, there’s an idea behind, an inspiration and is therefore a creative process…
So – there are people more working from and on the physical realms, with the inspirations and creative ideas for how the “existing” can be changed to become more “useful”/ compatible with the different energies/zeitgeist and others are more working on the “non physical” realms.. especially in this time of “physical restrictions” that can actually show us, that the space within and our connection to the Universe is much vaster than anything we know on the physical realm… of course, also this more “spiritual” path shall be anchored into the physical realms by sharing experiences and teachings and with that opening doors for others….
There’s no “right or wrong” way on doing this, we just not all have the same “task” or some may be still so caught in the physical only, that even “inspiration” isn’t fully accessible anymore but I’m sure, over time even those people will just fall into the “river of zeitgeist”…
There are so many possible ways to do things and that’s the wonderful thing here – we’re different and so diverse but still one “species”…
Within cycles we have different stages – we grow new, we take care of it, nurture it and it slowly becomes form and we invest strength and activity to make it grow even more until it’s in full blooming state/visible… now we start to “judge” it, in the sense of what could be “improved”, changed, enhanced in order to make it even more “profitable”, useful, beautiful, faster and so on (depending “purpose”)… Now we start “harvesting”, earning – it’s done, finished – we realize it in it’s full potential within this “cycle” and after this part, we start to “discern” and letting go of the strength/power because it’s done but we take “inventory” and with this “information” in, we start to “seed” anew but more in a “still” way, we kind of let it all “sink in” and “rest” until the new ideas “form”…
Now what happens, when the Earth and the whole solar system (and possibly further) is kind of shifting from one “stage” of cycle to another!!??? … giggles, yes, then our whole energy and possibilities change, the awareness and consciousness “changes”…. It’s just a step further in all these ongoing procedures without judgement of “good or bad”, it’s “necessary” and only possible because of the successful completion of the previous step….
Yes, it might look not very “nice” at the moment of how we manifest this shift but see, every “fundamental” shift does include “challenge” and a “breaking down” in the sense of “seeing through to the essence”… even if something feels like repetition, it’s always in “forward” motion, just as “retrograde planets”, it only “looks as” if they would go backwards when looked at it from Earth but in fact they just only “drift off” a bit and with that, sometimes create wonderful “invisible” patterns/dances/choreographies…. Just like fixing an old pair of shoes we may particularly like and after some cycles of “fixing”, we realize it’s too far gone and we have to let go of them and maybe we’re then also emotionally ready to let go of what that pair of shoes represented… it’s in the nature of things, that sooner or later everyone will “experience” that…
As many of you may know by now, I’m very influenced by the works of Nick Anthony Fiorenza and I’ve “borrowed”/integrated some of his picture-illustrations of cycles into my website: (after his death, his own website was taken down, so luckily I preserved some of his work!!)
Like the Venus – Earth 8 years cycle (cycle within cycle) forms a Pentagram. https://www.faempowerment.com/venus
Or the Earth – Jupiter cycle that forms beautiful “flowers”: https://www.faempowerment.com/jupiter
With all these cycles and cycles within cycles and even further cycles it’s all soooo entangled and most interesting isn’t it…..
But let’s look now back to “ground” – the Moon and the Earth….
The Moon cycles are logically bound to the Earth – Sun axis movement. There can only be a “new Moon” or “full Moon” in the sign the Earth – Sun axis “resides” in… therefore from the new Moon in a particular sign to it’s full Moon takes roughly 6 months and then back to the new Moon a total of almost 1 year…. It’s within the same “time/sign range” as the Earth Solstice and Equinox axis and therefore similar themes….
The full Moon in January is therefore as looked at from this “bigger cycle of cycles” the “culmination” of the New Moon on 8th of August 2021 and will end with the New Moon in Cancer on 29th of July 2022… the Capricorn new Moon we’re just experienced will have it’s bigger culmination with the full Moon in Capricorn on 12th of August 2022…
The New Moon post of 8th of August 2021 was titled “unfoldment” with my working title: building the foundations for the unfoldment of the own path and gifts. Here the link for those interested: https://www.faempowerment.com/post/new-moon-8th-of-august-2021-unfoldment
December 2021 was all about foundations, our blueprint, intention and highest ideals etc. “highlighted” and “visible” in this sense – just like what we wish for Christmas and the new year, it comes from “those foundations”…
Nevertheless, we have month by month a little cycle or step within the whole to do… or we can say, that every month we see the little steps and finalizing of steps of the Earth-Sun axis cycle theme...
Earth is at her Southpole in June and her Northpole in December and currently her Aphelion as the point farthest away from the Sun in early July and Perihelion as the closest point to the Sun in early January… usually we interpret “south” as being “home”, roots and so on and north as “public”, most seen etc. and similar for Aphelion and Perihelion… whereas the equinoxes for earth or the nodal axis with other bodies describe more the path of action, similar to the Ascendant and Descendant in a natal chart…
Even we're now at the most influential part of the cycle of Earth, it's the "opposition" so to speak and we see in full light, what we made out of it - so it's in the sense of "contemplating and adjusting" before we actually "harvest"....
These interpretational principles are based on natural science – Earth rotates around the axis (comparable with any “round object” you give a spin to) and at the poles there is the least velocity (movement in the sense of distance) but around the middle (equator) there’s high velocity/distance to go within the same amount of time… therefore more “action and path” at the equator…. The Sun moves towards a point north of the Galactic Center and we on Earth also “orientate”/navigate using a northern point (polestar) and define the point where we start/stand as “origin” in that sense…
It may sound "contradictory" that Earth's "home, intention" is in June (Sagittarius) and not in the "northern" winter but see - it's totally understandable when we look at Earth themes, it's the roots and ground of manifested life with all the beauty and abundance that comes with it and so it comes from "within" to the outside and therefore Gemini who receives the ideas and visions and then "cocoon" them in Cancer and to share them in Leo... Earth intention is to "live" and ground these higher ideals and visions but her most influence is "within", where everything "originates"... just like plants grow out of the soil and not the other way round.... That's why her cycle in Astrological terms starts in June, with the "higher ideals" and visions...
The Path of January:
After Earth met with Venus on the 9th, the conjunction is still “active” and is in separating aspect on the 15th of January by almost 4° when Earth stands on 0° Cancer and the Sun 0° Capricorn. From the more mental, outwards air and fire-energy to more emotional inwards energy – nurturing, caring… but also to be integrated the Sun’s placement, which means focus, “higher views and ideals” and it shifts to more “solitary energy” (both signs) and also discernment on the basis of “resonance”…
What’s important here now also is, that the Sun is about to conjoin Pluto at the last stars of the constellation Sagittarius… remember, signs and constellations isn’t the same – so we’re having some kind of “blending” energy – a “melting” together… and it’s the same for the Earth placement…
All 4 bodies are conjunct or opposing, which does add again to this melting and integrating energies… Cancer does also symbolize some kind of “cocoon” energy which is needed for the actualization of any transformational process as it happens within… if we want to “re-birth” or transform something in the outside world, we first have to go within and change from there… the solitary aspects are about “silencing” the distractions in order to be able to bring the focus to the task… so, it’s not meant to go to the cave but to be aware and maybe to “slow down” a little, to give the “Self” a bit more space and love and care…
Same time we need to look at Saturn’s and Jupiter’s path… Saturn stands 20°0’43” Capricorn and is in a grand Trine with the Mercury-Ceres conjunction in Taurus and Hygiea in Virgo… all at ca. 20°.
Ceres again nurturing energy, Mercury the messenger and communicator and Hygiea the health and especially hygiene/purity aspects… The Saturn – Pluto cycle talks about transforming, re- birthing the hidden structures or what has been a little “untrained” or almost forgotten… in this "new phase" of the Saturn-Pluto cycle, we start to “see” what’s there and needs “training”... maybe easiest to accomplish when we focus onto the own “foundations”, ideals, intentions and nurture with clarity/ purity what we discern to be beneficial to the task… if we’re lost in the emotional turmoil of the outside world, the “would and should” of blame and insecurity, we only get even more “lost”…
Just as they always say in Tarot readings (I love this sentence!!): “take what resonates and leave the rest”… you know, just because something is there doesn’t mean it’s necessarily meant for you to take… just because you’re a helpful person and care for others doesn’t mean that you have to carry their burdens for them because then you take on a lesson not yours and prevent them from having theirs and so the cycle needs to be repeated!!! …
From the 15th on, we will feel this Cancer-Capricorn axis intensively – the first half of this axis talks about observation, discernment, the sacred inner space and fire, motivation, trust and endurance, focus and practice and very importantly coherence... On this axis we also have the ability to “strip down” to the core/essence of things and self and “re-generating” and “re-defining”… a lot of activity and information and “inspiration” we get on the Gemini – Sagittarius axis and that needs to be “discerned”, stripped down to core/truth and put together anew… Just like the caterpillar that has eaten and eaten and then it cocoons and lives of what there was to miraculously come out as a butterfly, light enough to fly…. As Cancer is also the “Moon” sign, it also represents the “night”, the “dream”, the “sleep” in the sense of renewal, refreshing but also a gateway for “out of body” experiences… Cancer is the watery part here and Capricorn the earthly part of this axis – therefore Capricorn is a more “manifesting”, practical and structured energy whereas Cancer is more the emotional, the feelings but in a “steering, navigational” way.
As I called the new Moon – cycle the “invisible presence” – here also some interesting facts about the “invisible” points on the Cancer – Capricorn axis – Pholus SN 4° Cancer, Chariklo SN 5° Cancer, Pallas Perihelion 14°31’ Cancer, Neptune NN 16°55’ Cancer, Venus Perihelion 16°58’ Cancer and Sedna NN 29° Cancer (constellation Leo)
These “invisible” points are the reason why everyone “feels” this axis even if they don’t have planetary placements within this axis as the above mentioned Bodies do embody the energy or work “through” this axis… so be aware… and that’s the same with every sign or axis… there are many “invisible” points 😉
Another aspect of this whole Cancer – Capricorn axis is also the “memory grids” or to use modern language “cloud storage”….. there are the personal, individual ones we of course have more or less access to but there are also the “collective” ones that we can also access – the “memory banks”/libraries are more a theme of the second half of the axis because we first have to “examine”/discern the information/experience in the sense of stripping the emotional “clutter” away to store just the essential information…
Full Moon on the 18th of January at 6:48 am Thailand - 17th at 23:48 Universal Time
With Earth and Moon at 2°32’23” sid. Cancer and the Sun same degrees Capricorn.
Pluto at 1°9’15” sid. Capricorn and Saturn same constellation at 20°5’21”
Jupiter at 15°27’38 sid. Aquarius and Nessus also in Aquarius at 18°47’27” – Orcus’ Perihelion at 15° Aquarius, so he himself stands near his own Aphelion… Orcus is the “Oath Keeper” and Helper of Pluto…
Neptune is slowly approaching his last 30° mark before meeting with Eris again and he’s near Pallas’ Southnode and past Uranus’ Aphelion…
Earth is on the ecliptical longitude of the star Procyon of Canis Minor, the protector of the “immortal Twin Pollux” of Gemini… it’s more like a cooperation that includes the star Canopus of Carina (also Argo Navis) as a navigational purposes to greater evolutionary matters as well as the Twin Pollux who holds the “greater picture/goal” of development… the star system Tegmen marks the shell of the crab and therefore a nourishing and protective cocoon can be established – one could say the “boundaries” we form because Cancer’s “heart” is soft and very perceptive and we need to clear out what has been accumulated “waste” in the sense of “done, finished, leave, transform” maybe just as the above mentioned “memory or information bank” without any further emotions attached….
Over in Capricorn, the Sun and Pluto still are bringing focus to what or better said how we can shine out and “transform” into our “highest good” or manifest our goals… Chariklo at 8°47’ conjoins the stars Dabih and Bos, which talk about the coherence within, that it’s that inner “belief” (creative or destructive) that will bring forward experiences accordingly…
Venus stands at 7°57’ Cancer, so just a few days away from her own Perihelion (most influence) and therefore also during the full Moon in opposition with Chariklo… so this axis is further emphasized on…
Saturn stands at 20° Capricorn at an area that talks about the sharing, the “libraries”, the “record keeping” but now in a more open way, whereas in earlier Capricorn it’s more solitary as we’re discerning, practicing and in focus…
All of this is of course a 2 way street – we not only write the records but we also access them – not only the own ones but any “public records” so to speak… through the heart, soul, spirit within we can access these records, information and guidance….
Mercury though stands at 5°5’ sid. Gemini – so at the solstice point, celestial northpole and the “anti GEN” (Galactic – Equatorial – Node/ecliptic crossing point - axis) and so he, as the messenger for collaboration will be “running” through Gemini as Earth did and will then meet with Earth and Venus and Varuna in later January in sid. Cancer (between 10° to 20° Cancer)
Now all of this also plays out on the physical realm of course – we have the themes of “security”, safety, nourishment and care but also strategic thinking and focus, which can be used for any project but may be especially focused on what we not only find practical but safe and beautiful. It might be either, when combining Uranus (liberation, change, scientific approach etc.) and the “non physical” realms bring surprising outcomes… some may choose the path of “physical only” and “adapt” with their focus to present circumstances, which is fine if done in full consciousness about it and otherwise may create more “entrapment”/dependency…
See all of the Cancer – Capricorn axis, we have the theme of selective thinking and “feeling”. Once we understand that emotions aren’t the same as feelings, we’re already a big step on a path that opens great possibility… emotions do set actions into motion within and thoughts can produce emotions… it doesn’t come from nowhere that the illness many fear is called “cancer”….
If we’re more aware and conscious of what we think and the emotions attached to it, we may be surprised how much different life becomes…. Sometimes we also have “old patterns” anchored within us that are coming up through certain emotional triggers and can be consciously “looked” at and simply decided on, if it’s really something still bothering us and why, with “honesty” to self but without judgment (our whole bio-technology isn’t judgmental, the Universe isn’t judgmental, God or Source isn’t judgmental, judgments come only from the Human ego and it’s resulting constructs)…
Yep – I’m a Cancer Sun and Capricorn Earth, so I know a bit about it 😉
Remember, we also have that Grandtrine between Saturn, Ceres and Hygiea – it’s always “coherent” or “self fulfilling” energy as it’s harmonious – so be aware what you nourish yourself with especially with all this Cancer energy it’s a lot meant on the “emotional level” and how “clean, clear” you keep yourself in questions of your own potentials and resources…
Last month I attended a free webinar by Neil Gaur (Portal to Ascension website and You Tube) where he talked about the origins/relations about Christmas. He also made the connection between Saturn and “father Christmas”/Santa Claus as the “Fulfiller of wishes” – and yes, I can relate to this in the sense of Saturn as the “manifestor” (structures) but of course it goes much further than only Christmas presents…. Because it’s also about what we “think” and belief “possible”…
22nd of January 2022
That “Saturn Grand Trine” is still active but slowly dissolves over the next days but now there’s another Grandtrine as well – it’s Venus in Cancer to Mars in Scorpio and Pallas and Chiron in Pisces… so one in Earth signs and one in Water signs but not a star of David, too far apart in degrees… But nevertheless very important as we have the theme of fundamental energies here that form harmony and coherence but as they are all “feminine energies/poles” we have to be aware and discern as otherwise we may become too “lazy” to react or “overreacting” on the other extreme, when we’re only steered by “uncontrolled emotions”…
25th of January 2022
Mercury – Venus in sidereal Cancer and Earth – Varuna also Cancer
Heart – mind – coherence / receptivity / the inner self-talk etc… but being aware of what we “anchor” within as that will dictate the “rhythm” (ups and downs) in life….
The Earth-Varuna conjunction is also talking about breathing techniques that can be used to calm someone down or to “slow” the heart in order to get a “better connection” and coherence… there are many YouTube videos from Channelors, Healers and even Scientists that teach you a variety of techniques – it’s simple, free of charge and efficient…
Earth and Varuna are at a longitude that’s close to the middle of the constellation Cancer and with that the Praesepe M44, the Beehive galaxy which stands for “shedding old skins”, slowly leaving the nest/cocoon and emerging out as the new “Being” we created…
The Mercury – Venus conjunction takes place just past Neptune’s Northnode and Venus’ own Perihelion (most influence)…. So the “heart and values” even more emphasized on and of course the path of action of Neptune, the more “revealing”/mirroring part of it….
It’s a time, when “awakening” is very easy to happen – it doesn’t matter what personal axis placements you have for this to feel, because it’s involving planetary nodes, which activates those “planets” within you…. Each of us does have Venus somewhere as well as Neptune, the way we express them or the Sun or Earth is different and so every awakening is different as we All have built different “filters and veils” and so we have different “ways”/paths….
Around the 27th/28th of January the Earth – Sun axis moves over Pallas’ Perihelion and Aphelion axis. Pallas is the creative problem solver, puts puzzle pieces together and she’s also a “recycler”, does like to use everything around as a stepping stone, so kind of using “opportunities”…. Highly inspirational and creative energies here that push us to look a little “beyond our plates”….
31st of January 2022
During this last day of the month the Earth – Sun axis is travelling over the Venus’ Perihelion and Aphelion axis as well as over Neptune’s nodal axis …
All these happenings involving the “crosses” of Neptune, Venus and Pallas take place over the head of the Hydra but “under” the last stars of the Lynx in the north and of course under Ursa Major as this big constellation does span over the full 60° of Cancer and Leo…
This whole area in Cancer is about breaking free of dogmatic behavior patterns as well as old belief systems…
You see, Hydra’s tail is south of the last stars of the constellation Virgo and just before the clutches of Scorpio/the scales/Libra… so they carry the emotional judgments of past experiences and that needs to be “transformed” to see it from a “higher perspective” and with this the “monster” becomes “the lotus” and with that we’re breaking free and finally keeping the “truth” in the records…. And then after, slowly starting to “share”/shine that “new” out into the world….
The later parts of the sign Cancer is marked by the Lion’s head “starting” at around 20° Cancer….
By the way – the Moon carries this whole Cancer energy naturally within as well and additionally emphasized on once a month 😉 for everyone….
Much Love to you All,
Fran
