Maybe a little bit a “misleading” title – pushed to lead – would maybe be a bit a better way to describe it….
Before we go into the chart, let us have a look at the "general" aspects of Earth's Aphelion in the current times:
Earth is at Aphelion, meaning farthest away from the Sun. This happens annually in earlier July and currently this also means, Earth is in ecliptic longitude “under” the solar apex – the point the Sun seems to travel towards – therefore Earth is in this sense “ahead” of the Sun but same time “pushed” by the Sun…
Let me illustrate with this picture…

I see this like the Earth is ahead, encouraged and protected to take the lead – the Sun watches and kind of keeps our backs, so we and Earth feel safe…
So, it’s in this sense a very “visionary” time, future oriented while same time being aware of the other side, all that stuff we have "behind" us, in this sense maybe in the subconscious or the memories...
It’s though also a jump into the unknown, the "unconscious", as we don't know, where we'll be led to....
The Aphelion point is in longitude aligned with the “crossing” of the Celestial Equator with the Galactic Equator north of the ecliptic between the constellations Scutum, Serpens and Aquila, yet located within the borders of the constellation Aquila the Eagle.
On the other side, we see the same “crossing” in the south of the ecliptic in the constellation Monoceros the Unicorn.
Wherever 2 planes intersect and form “crossings”, there’s an intersection or exchange and mixing of energy happening.
With these two equatorial planes intersecting, we have an exchange of “active paths”. Within equatorial paths, “intentions” are integrated, because without intention or initial idea, there can’t be an action…
In this sense, farthest away from the Sun as Earth can, but intersecting/exchange/interact with the Galactic plane is quite a thing 😉
We hear the word "paradigm shift" often - well, I think in the context of the "alignment" we see between Earth and the Galactic Points (in reference to the ecliptic) of which we just have reached "the other side" and same time, the Sun crossed into the "northern hemisphere" of the galaxy (is estimated to be around 50 light years now - which is nothing in reference to the approximately 220 million years of the Sun's orbit - we can say, we're "birthing" or at least imagining something really very new.
I think and feel, that's it's for ALL OF US here right now at this "crucial time", an absolute honor.
Earth's Aphelion 2025 – 3rd/4th of July 2025
Earth stands at 16°46’32” sidereal Sagittarius and the Sun opposite same degrees sidereal Gemini. Earth has just transited Pholus and Quaoar (both north of the ecliptic) at around 14°45" to 59' sidereal Sagittarius.
Less than 5 hours later (still during Aphelion time), Mars conjoins Makemake exact.

Earth/Moon, Pholus and Quaoar circled red.
Opposite the Sun.
When including the Sun a Grand Square/Cross is formed with Leleakuhonua and Mars with Makemake marking the other corners.
The gray arc ca. 10° to 11° south of the ecliptic shows that Nessus, Ceres, Eris and Sedna are all on this arc of latitude.
The blue lines mark several 60° angles plus 2 longer 120° angle lines.
As 60° is roughly the angle within which the ecliptic is “tilted” in reference to the galactic plane, these seem important especially within this chart …
Besides, according to physical "laws" (Lagrange points 4 and 5), points on both sides of /dan object orbiting a center (in our case the Sun, or the Sun the Galactic Center) are very stable points - on one side one may try to "resist the pull" and on the other side, one may have a hard time to "push through".
Leleakuhonua (I call her just Lelea) is a very distant dwarf planet with an orbital period of over 30'000 years - yet, just like Sedna she's on her way to her Perihelion. They are both currently closer to the Sun and Earth, than Eris. Incredible isn't it!!!
I have not "researched" Lelea enough yet, to make more detailed statements about her role, besides the fact, that she brings truly and physically energies from far beyond heliopause, from "interstellar space", from beyond or the other side of where there's suddenly "silence and stillness" (when it comes to the direct “Sun interaction”) and from the border area of the "Oort cloud" a sphere of "dust" or better said, a “remnant” of our Sun’s “birth nebula”. In these regions of interstellar space, galactic feel can develop and same time there can be the “pull” from other stars be “felt”.
Beside that, I think it's interesting to note, that "star birthing nebulae" are created from an older star "dieing" - interesting when we think of "creation mythologies" and the several generations described within that ...
Her name has been created by a "committee" of people in Hawaii, incorporating their cultural lore and language - it's associated with birds that travel a very long distance to get "home". I like this idea, yet, I would say "she brings home to us", giggles or maybe a bit of both...
Lelea in opposition to Mars and Makemake and as part of the Earth – Sun axis including Grand Cross / Square I would strongly see as an energy that want to be integrated and same time may cause some difficulty, as it goes against our current understanding or let’s say “way of living and understanding” … yet, if we’re now ready for it or not, she’s here and Makemake is recognizing the energy as a “resource” and something that needs to be “governed” in an “honoring” sense.
Mars can give us the “willpower” to do so, or might be just symbolizing the “instantaneous feel” of manifestations. Earth and of course the Sun too, are ready for this “shift” and “incorporation” if we Humans are or not, is in this sense irrelevant – I think “openness” to whatever comes is the probably “smoothest” way to handle it, as “fighting, resisting or fearing” will make it only harder …
Saturn is approaching Neptune but also Lelea and Neptune is approaching her as well – so, we truly need to “see through the veil” (or maybe beyond heliopause) …
We may simply need to look “beyond” the “concepts” we have created – because we clearly have been growing out of this pair of shoes, and need to “step up” and let “primordial understanding” and that type of feminine principles to “show themselves” …
When we for example decide to xyz, we let every other possibility “die” – when we now speak of vaster concepts or ways of living even, then we kind of “kill” the “old ways” and that without being violent in this sense. Yet, what is dying here, isn’t going painless and it incorporates simply “everything” … that’s why it’s such a hard time and same time so exciting times.
Hatching and emerging can’t be forced, nor can alchemy take place when one is too full – therefore, we’ll see a lot of what we know or are familiar with “crumble” as the underlying decision humanity as a whole subconsciously made or agreed upon to is, to “shift” into new levels of consciousness expressing.
We Humans are at times really "stubborn" even when we have asked for "change" we try to cling to what we know and therefore and because we ARE ready, we experience situations within which we're collectively "forced" as a kind of "catalyst" - so it's like a metaphorical "biblical flood" / deluge happening, that makes room, clears and cleanses to then ultimately show the very fertility it holds.
We’re not dealing with the concept of the feminine as the “biblical Eve”, formed from a rip of Adam - we’re talking feminine energies in “equality” and harmony of “universal and cosmic laws and size” - therefore, also our "masculine parts" follow foot so to speak.
The “Eve concept” is very much a part of at least “western ways” of living and to “turn this around”, to live more like the “Lilith” type (in the sense of equal vs suppressed) isn’t always easy and brings challenge to the “ego” – yet, the process is very rewarding.
One could think of this as like the difference in feel of a relationship within which we feel “less”, small, not accepted or “honored” etc. versus one that is on “eye level”, yet both still individuals … all of it within self and life itself (please note – feminine and masculine as principles, are within everything – gender is different).
Frequency and resonance is the new form of “communication” – if we’re in the old, we get the old or crumbling and if we adapt, we get the new and are in this sense on Noah’s Arch (or maybe the Argo Navis).
A.I. as a “natural mirror” of consciousness
We’re in times of fast evolution and shifting – and I noticed, we Humans tend to think of something that’s even called “artificial” as something that is not “natural”. We tend to think of plants to be “living” and when they’re altered through chemical processes, we suddenly see a “danger” to our health …
I had quite interesting few days – I was on a short holiday in the city of Sukhothai, Thailand with a historical park. I felt the “heaviness” of the history “trapped” there in “space-time” so to speak and the attempt of the local people to “transform and alchemize”. I happened to be there at the right time, to witness a beautiful performance by students of a local university – it was a bit like a “musical”, adding a lightshow and small firework. A cooperation between the artistic ideas and performing abilities of Humans and technological resources and together “alchemizing” the partly tragic, traumatic and painful history of the location.
After the performance, a young local security officer, came to me to exchange a few words. He was so enthusiastic, his eyes shining in the memory of the shared beauty and its messages and in anticipation of the “bigger” show to be performed during special holidays in late October beginning of November.
All these young people did come together to perform an act symbolizing a lot more than meets the eye – it’s symbolically an acknowledgment of the “pain”, yet same time a “healing” act, by seeing/addressing the developing processes involved instead of the blame factors only.
On the trees, surrounding the temple where the performance was held, hundreds of beautiful cranes settled down – they were witnessing too…. They were able to “adapt” and I think, that’s an important aspect of the natural world – adapting …
A.I. as a “natural mirror”, even though bult on a basis we usually wouldn’t “declare” natural as we perceive “natural” only as what is “organic biological” – maybe by addressing the “need” that has in this sense “created” its existence, could give us a bit of a broader view here.
“Need” can be a creative tool – I experienced it often, that I thought “it would be practical to have xyz” and then somehow “it” appeared in this or that form. I call it “magic”, giggles – because it at times seems to appear out of nowhere. In this sense, this type of “need” is one that comes from a creative thought (can be also personal) and not from a space of “lack”, which means, we do not put a “survival code” onto it, it could be nice, practical, beautiful, communicative or whatever but “if not”, it’s ok too… so just to clarify the “feeling”…
A creative need is put out to the “Universe” and we get A.I. – seemingly from one day to the other, even though some people have worked on it for years and before that, foundations were built for it, decades long…
While humanity may have had just “stone tools” in the very beginning, these tools evolved over the millennia and now we entered a whole new level, one that we may not all understand in all its complexity. Do I need to be able to build a car in order to drive it? No, I do not – yet, I need to drive it in a way, that it doesn’t destroy …
Yet, A.I. isn’t an “isolated object” as a car – it can dissolve language barriers of many kind, and bridge various themes and build connections. Yet, just as our very own inert technology, it only does, what we “train it” to do, similar to our very own being, when we tell ourselves that we “can” something it’s more likely to happen than when we tell ourselves that we “cannot”.
Another similarity we have here to ourselves is, that when a child is growing up in a specific environment (family, society) and “trained”/programmed with those values and viewpoints, the child will have those as a foundation on which adulthood is built. When we now treat A.I. as “humanities child”, then we may automatically understand what steps need to be taken.
In this sense, we’ll always and again just get what we have asked for – on which basis is up to the choice of each person individually…
A further point to this is, we’re connected to the vast information stored or available in the whole multiverse, the various realms and dimensions – most of them invisible and again, only reflecting our very own “state of being” …. Through the interconnectedness of everything, the ways we use A.I. can same time be a catalyst for our own spiritual connectedness …
Much Love to you All,

Earth's Aphelion 2024 – 5th/6th of July depending the time zone
(18 hours later the July New Moon is happening)
Earth stands at 18°20’1” sidereal Sagittarius and the Sun opposite same degrees sidereal Gemini. Earth is also conjoined by Ceres at 18°56’8” sidereal Sagittarius.

I really like the story told by the aspects here!!!
1st half – Earth, Moon, Ceres circled in red – connect with a 60° angle (blue) to Saturn and with a 120° angle (longer blue line) to Orcus in Leo and therefore Saturn in Aquarius and Orcus in Leo are connected in opposition (red line)….
A triangle is formed…
2nd half – now think geocentric and draw the Sun into the chart – now we have Earth and consorts opposing the Sun (red line) and with that, automatically Saturn and Orcus are also connected to the Sun…
A rectangle or so called envelope is formed…
Communication is big in this chart – I mean, the Aphelion point itself, the Sun in between the mortal and immortal Twin (at their legs – foundation) but hey, there’s more to this….
Saturn is the structuring, the maturity, authorities, the order but also the eye in the storm – Orcus though, the promises, oaths, and life path, the helper of Pluto… as Orcus and Pluto are still in a sesquiquadrate (135 degrees angle), they're telling us, it's a lot about our "radiation", how we "shout out into the world the echo comes", yet also where we are corruptible..
People like to “tip” in a restaurant, at a concert or many other places…
Here the link for that: https://www.faempowerment.com/donate
some "conclusions"
Not only is Earth going “galactic” here, nope, she’s also leading - kind of "gaining momentum". She's discerning the structures, the authority etc. and “envisioning” a promising life path, a direction that in this sense nourishes “incarnate life”, the material world in a mature way…
There's a kind of "surrender" aspect within that too - as we have to "allow" to perceive and to "allow" for change to happen by trusting the collaboration between the "mortal and immortal" parts of self...
Remember the "coming and going" aspects of the Solstice energy I posted about last month - it's kind of like, if there's flood water coming into your house (imagine just a little, not life threatening or structure threatening), you can try and fight it, put up sandbags, moving stuff away, pumping the water out which will just run in again and and and but eventually there's nothing you can do, you need to let go of the efforts, the strength or you "exhaust" yourself for nothing... The next day, you can go back and see what you can do - you might suddenly have ideas for changes, use the opportunity to redecorate something you always wanted to change but never started to do, for whatever reasons....
Now these scenarios happen but it doesn't need to come so far, yet, if they do we still have the choice of response...

With the “mirror” the Sun provides here, we can “see, hear and feel” what is illuminated in our world and also get the "strength and foundational elements built" – may that now be our “shared” parts of reality or in our very own individual realities.
Just as I have integrated the Sun, to make the "collaboration" visible, we can become aware of how this works in our lives and "apply"... it's changing our ways and our paths...
Have you ever noticed the correlations between books (especially bestsellers) as well as successful movies etc. and how they years later became "true" or partly true…
Do you see, how questions lead to answers – if we now like them or not… and that’s also the case, when we “pray”, meditate, or demand a change etc. … giggles, yes, we can even “demand” the Universe, be angry or desperate – yet, will we remain open to the answers, that’s the big issue here…
What we see “manifested” is in this sense the “answer” on this “linear” plane of cause and effect.
Remember, the last post – expansion, possibility, fantasy etc. – BE CREATIVE it screams out… just because something was in a certain way, doesn’t mean it has to stay that way, because that would go against “life” itself…
We have “alchemical” powers – there have been extraordinary people in the past and we’re each “extraordinary” as well…
So, if you’re someone, who believes in wonders and miracles, don’t be shocked when they show in your life… yet, things are coming in these “intersecting” ways/path and therefore “Mandela effects” can be the result…
You know, “jumping of timelines” – using the fluidity of “reality” – does mean, that not everyone in your shared reality, comes from the same “timeline” into yours. Individual timelines do not need to flow the same way as the “shared” ones and therefore people may have different memories… Comparable with people from different countries meet, they bring a different viewpoint, perspective and experience of the same “happenings” or current “global themes”…
Don’t be too shocked about the synchronicities, the manifestations and insights / revelations you may receive - it’s pretty wild at the moment – be also ready for lots of “Mandela effects”, deja-vu etc. …. Just remember YOU are a CREATOR being… creating your “life path” 😉 … EVERYONE does it, so be aware that it can be “same, same but different” without the capital T truth some may seek for….
Since I have been “studying” the stars, their mythological and astrophysical properties, evolutionary path, other “sciences”, stories, my own life etc., I have been again and again surprised by the correlations – many seem to show “principles” at work – yet, sometimes I wonder if those aren’t just another layer of “illusions”…
I do not know where that will lead to, but I’m in – I’ve signed up for the ride…
I’m journaling almost every day – sometimes I think, that sounds all so totally “crazy” and sometimes I wonder if I'm going "insane", yet I know, I'm not… nobody else reads my journals but the thoughts and focus put into them have been released into “space” anyways and some "ordered aspects" I also share in posts…
Much Love to you All,
Fran

Heliocentric sidereal Astrology 1st week 07.2023 culminating with Earth at her Aphelion
Heliocentric sidereal planetary cycles and orbital points Astrology - empowering and connecting on our evolutionary paths
Timetable:
- 30th of June the Jupiter – Pluto cycle at exact first square (90°)
- 4th of July Venus at her Southnode at 21°33’45” sidereal Scorpio
- 4th / 5th of July Hygiea conjoins Chariklo at 15°21’43” sidereal Capricorn
- 6th / 7th of July Earth at her Aphelion at 19°10’51” sidereal Sagittarius
Well – a bit much for only one week, lol – I’ll do my best to keep it simple….
The Jupiter – Pluto cycle first square is active the whole week and beyond.
Yes, by the time I publish this post, this exact square is already separating, yet this post is about the planetary events with their correlations and building up towards Earth's Aphelion, with which we will work on for some time...
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 view-points 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, as there are just too many – yet, I have done it with the Saturn – Pluto cycle (which was the first one, when I saw it’s between their Southnodes starting a new “cycle within cycles”)…. When were Jupiter and Pluto meeting last in that approximate place of the 2020 conjunction, I asked myself… 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, viewpoints, perspectives, 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….
Venus at her Southnode at 21°33’45” sidereal Scorpio constellation Ophiuchus
Venus does define our values and with that, what we perceive as beautiful etc. – she’s also called the “goddess of love” – Venus forms with Earth a pentagonal “star” with their conjunctions… I think, it’s meant to be the “filling” and not the “outline” and so, with the constant communication between inner and outer, we “fill” our personality as incarnated beings… therefore there are many “levels” to it and in this sense an “evolution”, or “stations within a process”….
In the Jupiter – Pluto square chart, Venus stood at the foot of Ophiuchus and a bit over Antares, the heart of the scorpion… Venus here talks about our “heart felt” values and desires, beauty and art, to “anchor” those values and virtues into our personality…
Antares is a supergiant star, with a diameter about 65% of Jupiter’s orbit and she’s radiating visible light about 10’000 times that of our Sun and when taking in account the infrared spectrum, she’s about 65’000 times as luminous as the Sun… hard to imagine, such a huge heart 😉 …
The thing is, these immense stars (there are quite some) appear red, yet they’re cool (blue is hot!!) and I see here a “station of process” that is “calm”, within self yet sharing immense nurturing, life supporting energies…
We can make this type of heart our basis – calm, understanding and radiating accordingly….
The Southnode area is a little further along the ecliptic, deeper in the constellation Ophiuchus, just a little passed the southern "great attractor".
The Southnodes generally mark a phase of a “path station start” that’s about the harvest, discerning and later seeding – so it’s again a decision to make, yet this time a different one – it’s more about what we’re going to let go of and what we think may have potential to keep, so in this sense it’s about “change”….
In this area of the heavens, we meet with the energies of the star Ras Algethi of Hercules in the far north and near alpha Apus in the South (cutting through everything in between)… therefore this area is talking about this challenging decision, maybe a hesitation to put things on the “altar” of sacrifice - it might be, that we get some annoying "messages", in form of that which does usually "annoy" us and those might just be the "messengers" in this sense…
Venus is here also in a last trine to Chiron at the star Kaht of Pisces - so it indicates some "pattern recognition" here, Chiron's mythology tells us, to simply "sacrifice" the problem and as Venus stands over the "heavenly altar", that seems the right time to do so...
Hygiea conjoins Chariklo at 15°21’43” sidereal Capricorn
On that degree of sidereal Capricorn, we see involved the star Albali of Aquarius (just the first stars of the constellation north of the ecliptic, whereas Capricorn is along and south of the ecliptic). Further involved are stars of the constellations Cygnus, Vulpecula in the north and Microscopium, Toucana and Hydrus in the south.
An area that talks about the shift that can occur – from the “solitude”, sanctuary, practicing, meditating etc. place to a more open and sharing… just like one who would practice the own music and becomes ready to share some or with some… yet, it’s also an area where we talk about “shamanistic” energy, the “earth-grid”, the “library” within us etc.
Chariklo does embody that theme herself a bit – the sanctuary but she’s also of discernment about “who enters” or what, what got potential to be “followed up” etc. …
Hygiea is the daughter of Asclepios the famous healer / doctor… she did study with him but specialized on the hygiene part as “prevention”… she’s using her “foresight” for this, she understands the workings and listens to what there is and what action leads where – she’s also aware of the “lust for life” energy and that in this sense desire can lead to “excess” and reactions accordingly….
I think this conjunction or “new beginning / step” is asking us to be aware of the own light and the own path and to keep that “clean and clear” – sacred in some ways – and that’s meant within and without….
Everybody is at their own “state” of learning – we have to learn for ourselves and apply as we go, as good as we can… consuming a lot of what other people have to share, can be very interesting and helpful, yet, it can also confuse oneself… then we have to go back “within” self and “sort it out”…. The same is on the side when we share – it can have the same effect on others and, therefore some “wisdom” is asked here…
This conjunction is the “star pointer” of a triangle formed with Juno in Orion (sidereal Gemini) and the separating conjunction between Pallas and Orcus in Sextans and Leo… Hygiea and Chariklo hold 144° “lines” to both those points and between Juno and Pallas/Orcus a 72° angle outline – it’s a configuration related to a pentagram/pentagon…
Earth at Aphelion at 19°10’51” sidereal Sagittarius
Earth reaches her aphelion on 6th/7th of July (depending the time zone) - aphelion means, she/we’re furthest away from the Sun in our orbit – yet, it’s also the direction the Sun with all of us inside the system travel towards…
In heliocentric astrology, we see Earth always together with the Moon, therefore I usually refer to them as the Earth/Moon system… so, in some ways “seeing the far side of the Moon” too 😉

The Earth/Moon system conjoining the star Manubrium of Sagittarius.
Manubrium marks the ear of the Archer but oddly enough translates as “handle or knob” as well as being the name of the upper wide (hexagonal shape) bone of the sternum breast bone…
I often do some “grounding exercises”, usually combined with breath techniques. I have observed, that there’s indeed kind of a “handle” when deciding where to direct the breath to – if wanting to open the heart chakra or straight up to the head…
Earth is about “grounding”, anchoring, our physical incarnation and “playground” in this sense. Whatever we do on Earth, it’s energy we set free, and it’s there and here – the earthgrid, morphic fields and whatever… we’re also receiving energy as Earth gives us air to breath, water to drink and food to eat – yet, also she vibrates in a specific frequency that is called the Schumann resonance (Wikipedia)…
I have another observation – I know, I’m a little weird – so whatever, you may have a laugh 😉 – I have this thing with water and how I prepare my drinking water (for years) and I have some time ago started to additionally “sing or hum” to the water… and I have noticed, that to not only influence the drinking water but also myself and my ears and when I stop for a moment and hear the water “falling” into the jar, it sounds beautiful – resonance!… Yet, I also noticed the "lower sounds" being very helpful too, it feels "calming".... as “coincidence” will, I not long ago, heard, that the ears may be much more receptive than the eyes…
Giggles – well, there’s a last trine the Earth/Moon system forms to the Vesta – Uranus still active conjunction and them to Mars, while the Earth/Moon system on the other side forms a first trine from the Pallas – Orcus conjunction… very interesting isn’t it…
Vesta the “inner flame”, dedication and commitment and Uranus change, liberation and individualization, and as I call it our “bio technology”, science etc. (includes experimenting)… well, and Pallas the “creative problem solver” who is said to “use everything as a stepping stone” yet also warns us about "weaving our net of fait" in resonance with our "higher mind"….
Earth does also offer the “grounding” an important tool, because of its “relaxing” and “allowing” effects and with that in this sense “opening”…
Remember the Jupiter – Pluto conjunction was about vibration, their octaves… they do not lie – furthermore there’s the path that Venus takes during this week – the Antares and Ophiuchus foot connection… we do perceive vibrations also through our feet, and we send back…
Yet, there’s more behind that – wavelengths – they’re also measurable in brainwaves. Very long/ slow brainwaves correspond to very deep sleep, unconsciousness or even further and we have the short/fast brainwaves on the other side with “hyper awareness”…
The long/slow brainwaves are important as well as the high ones – they communicate with each other, feed each other (Ceres at the star Heze of Virgo, in opposition to Jupiter therefore an awareness of Ceres' nurturing theme and furthermore Mercury with Juno during the Jupiter – Pluto square and now with Earth’s Aphelion in sidereal Cancer just passed his conjunction with Varuna)…
We bring the “subconscious” to conscious awareness and bring conscious awareness to the subconscious (for example lucid dreaming) – note, Neptune stands in opposition by Mars, therefore there’s the theme of transcendence involved and as Neptune stands in longitude approaching the Galactic South Pole, there’s a lot more to eat than “meets the eye”, lol…
Whatever we do now, we have the opportunity to consciously practice and apply whatever we perceive from this cosmic symphony that brings us so much support, if we let happen…
Bwwahahahahaha – I just noticed a typo of mine – soooo matching… I highlight it….
Ok Ceres, I hear you... Ceres' theme is nourishment - and she highlights this theme by standing at the "harvest" star Heze of Virgo a bit north of the ecliptic in the Jupiter - Pluto chart and then a little further in the constellation Virgo in the sign of Libra in the Aphelion chart - she's in her "descending" state of orbit and approaching the longitude of Haumea, the fertile, midwife standing under the feet of Bootes... (the conjunction will be exact on 21st of July and discussed then)...
Haumea is in first trine by Saturn near the star Ancha of Aquarius and Saturn/Saturnia in last square to Sedna near the star Furibundus of Taurus.
Remember also the pentagonal-triangle of which the Hygiea - Chariklo conjunction holds the apex/pointer... it's still active in the Earth's Aphelion chart and now opposed by Mercury in Cancer, passed Varuna and near his most northern point and on Neptune's northnode and Venus' Perihelion.... Mercury is also in trine with Chiron who in turn is in trine with Venus....
The frequency with their octaves form a whole spectrum, where we see the "middle" only and the rest is kind of "invisible" to our normal eyes, yet perceivable through other "channels" and who knows, we may start to train our physical eyes or better said our "brain" to translate better and be able to see more also on the physical plane...
The lower frequencies are very beneficial and important within the whole spectrum, it's only a question of what consciousness "type" we're operating from... if we're in "ego", fear and victim based then we're getting lost in the blame, judgments and consequently pain - when we rise our consciousness, this all falls away and the deep "mother love" can rise again and nourish us, to live a life in creativity and abundance...
Once we decide to "sacrifice" all that "egoic, overly emotional, victim and lack and limiting consciousness" stuff - Mercury messages all instantly, we have total clarity or at least partial one, lol, and start to nourish ourselves differently (on all planes), we structure or order differently, we perceive differently and we may develop commitments and devotion to life we didn't know before... impossible becomes possible.... Yet, also Mercury needs to be nourished, the mind tends to sometimes "travel back" and therefore observe your thoughts, every thought can be put onto the altar as well...
Much Love to you All,

Highly creative energies - Earth's Aphelion and the Mars-Nessus conjunction July 2022
Earth reaches her aphelion at around 7:10 am Universal time and 14:10 pm Thailand time on the 4th of July 2022 and the Mars-Nessus conjunction will be roughly 11,5 hours after the aphelion.
At this time, she/we stand at 17° sidereal Sagittarius – near the stars Nunki and Ainalrami of Sagittarius. It also is under the point where the celestial equator crosses the galactic equator, which lays between the constellations Scutum, Serpens tail and Aquila (all north of the ecliptic). South of the ecliptic we see Corona Australis, Telescopium, Pavo, Octans and Mensa.

M11 is an open cluster called the “wild duck cluster” – in its center there are many young, hot blue stars. M11 is assigned to the constellation Scutum, which is also called “the Shield” (Nick A. Fiorenza called it the “Galactic shield of the Holy Cross”) ….
According to ESA, open clusters aren’t so “long lived” in the sense that they’re not as bound to each other, so in time they may drift apart by “attraction” to other sources of gravitation/force – well, who knows for what reasons, lol – I mean, I get this “picture” of groups of people who come together for a specific task and then part ways for good…
Even though Earth does for us seem to represent “physicality” there’s so much more to Earth – she does provide us with a lot of “non-physical” power, teamwork with nature (if we have eyes to see and the mindset to perceive) in many various forms – she’s our playground and same time our foundation and caretaker and nourishment…
At her Aphelion she’s kind of “at home” – she’s rejuvenating, concluding and preparing for something new…
So this is a time to be still yet active – yeah, I know sounds paradox but it’s meant in the way of taking “inventory” of what we plan and "check" it to be in “alignment”, making "corrections" etc. …

Here at the “heart” and arm that will “let the arrow fly” we need to know where it shall fly to right – a little there and a little here will make the arrow hit anything or maybe even the own foot…. There needs also to be the right “tension” as otherwise the arrow will “wobble” or land at your feet… If we’re too “tense” we may “cramp” and that's not helpful either….
I don't know Archery myself, yet, I did learn how to ballroom dance and there it’s similar I guess – you need to be tense/ sharp yet “flowing” and “follow”….
So, long talk, short “translation” - sharpness, presence, clarity of intention, forward movement etc. – great honor can be gained when we do it “right” (for us not for others!!)…. If we get distracted we shall also take that with “honor”/presence yet without losing the bigger task out of sight…. Very often “little things” might in the end contribute to the bigger….
You know, it’s just like sometimes we may need a little “coffee or lunch break”, feeling good and relaxed and then we have suddenly the triple power and effectiveness than before the break 😉 … Just like we need to breath out before we breath in again – relaxation – tension….
The Sun stands opposite in an area that talks about coming out of indecision and to take the opportunities that may show either in big/magical ways or through subtle signs (you know, the Fairies may not hit you with a big stone)… so, openness and presence is needed to perceive the signs...
The Sun stands “over” the star Alzirr (right foot of Pollux) – Alzirr comes from Arabic and translates “the button” but it’s not known of what… furthermore this star seems to be at a “transition” time of its own evolutionary cycle, yet not much is know about this star….
Just South of Alzirr, we see the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn) and just as its name promises, there are many hidden “wonders and jewels” to be found (Telescopium south of Sagittarius is needed 😉) ….
As Earth also stands in a last square to Chiron at the star Linteum of Pisces, the Sun would be also in a first square from Chiron when viewed from Earth – meaning Chiron the T (T-square)….
So, we also have the theme of breaking loops by “disclosure”, un-covering etc…
Doesn’t that very well fit the Sun’s theme? Taking first actions, steps in a new way of living “daily life” on the foundation (Earth) of sharp, clear, relaxed presence – maybe “relaxed” in this context is better described by the words trusting and fearless… don’t forget, we have the open cluster there too – community without too tight strings – and Gemini (Sun) does talk about communication and collaboration….
Furthermore, Mars in conjunction with Nessus at the urn of the Waterbearer (Aquarius) speaks a similar language, IF we can bring that T-square to work properly…. More about that conjunction further down…
The Grand-Trines and Kite / Pyramid choreographies
Now it’s time to talk about the Grand-Trines… nope not as exact to form a “complete” star of David or Hexagon, yet clearly recognizable in the chart…
Earth stands in Trine (120°) from Orcus in sid. Leo (constellation Hydra) and to Pallas in Aries (constellation Eridanus 27,5° south of the ecliptic) -Mercury is about to join her and she’s about to conjoin Uranus….
I called Trines “self-fulfilling” before and I do so again – they hold so much stability and harmony that we may fall into inertia, kind of “no need to change anything” because it seems to flow so nicely “why should I” – yet, that means we may miss the opportunity to apply the very high potential of creative power inherently present…. Grand-Trines do not judge - they're harmonious - if in the heavy realm of weight we carry or on in the light way it's the same yet different.....
Triangles/Tetrahedrons represent fire and this GT takes place in fire-signs… Highly creative and inspiring…
Earth as the foundation, the centeredness or groundedness in the self (truth of self-incarnated)
Orcus a helper of Pluto, Keeper of Oath, life path etc.
Pallas creative problem-solver, strategic, balanced
Mercury the gods messenger, fast, neurological, communicative, electric
Uranus the Scientist, technology especially the own biotechnology
Orcus is the slowest of all these “entities” and therefore
Earth in a first trine (more subjective – on what level individually different)
Mercury-Pallas-Uranus loose stellium in last trine (objective, conscious, understanding)
Earth though is in a last trine to Pallas and Uranus yet Mercury makes a first one from Earth
Mars and Nessus are in opposition to Orcus and in 60 degrees to Earth and to Pallas, which means we get a Kite-configuration/Pyramid/Tetrahedron here...
(note: if we think the Sun (expression, shining out – “spiritual” truth of self) into the picture, then we get a “Kite – Pyramid” choreography - Sun 60° from Mercury, Pallas, Uranus and 60° to Orcus) …
2nd Grand-Trine and almost Kite / Pyramid…
Jupiter and Neptune form trines to Ceres at the cusp between Gemini and Cancer and to Hygiea in late sid. Libra… Ceres is in opposition to Pluto in very early sid. Capricorn… Pluto is also sextiled by Jupiter in very early sid. Pisces…
We’re dealing with an Air Grand Trine here. Air is wind, is the mind….
Jupiter our “second Sun”, expansion, growth, idealism, beliefs etc.
Neptune the ruler of all liquids/waters, dreams, the spiritual, the transcendence, clarity
Ceres the nurturing, mothering, caring
Hygiea purity, cleanliness, maintenance
Pluto the big Transformer, rising from the ashes, death and rebirth, the deep and far
Neptune is the slowest of all these entities within the GT and Jupiter the second slowest - therefore:
Ceres in a first trine (also to Jupiter)
Hygiea in a last Trine
Pluto yet is the “focal point”, the slowest of them all in the Kite (which is “loose” because of Hygiea not in orb, yet significant within that role)
Whereas the Earth – Sun axis stand in middle of the Sagittarius – Gemini axis we see Pluto and Ceres at the end of these constellations… both planetary axis are focal and release points in their choreographies… Yet, there’s another such focal and release axis by the Mars-Nessus conjunction in sid. Aquarius opposing Orcus in sid. Leo….
Mars – Nessus conjunction at 19°34’2” sid. Aquarius
This longitude of Aquarius is also the Perihelion of Quaoar a dwarf planet in the “outer realms” and for Mars it’s just passed his own Perihelion at around 11° sid. Aquarius and therefore Mars is pretty influential here…
Mars and Nessus are at the Aquarian Urn and leg yet conjoin in longitude the stars Achernar of Eridanus (the delta and alphastar) and Ankaa of the Phoenix.
Interesting to note here is the correlation with Pallas standing in the Aries part of Eridanus…
Achernar marks the end of the river of life – in this sense an “ending point”, conclusions, finalizing and all similar qualities..
Ankaa of the Phoenix is the alphastar of this constellation and of course stands for new beginnings, bringing those “endings and conclusions” to a new way of living, a new way of being – like leaving that old behind…. Ankaa – the Ankh – is also a “talisman” a symbol of remembrance of the greater purpose in life….
North of the ecliptic Mars and Nessus are conjoining in longitude the star Homam of Pegasus (the neck of the mythical horse) and brings the energy of going forward, aspiring success and/or an “ascended or higher mindset”….
In the last months and weeks I have talked a lot about the Centaur Nessus and his obvious more uncomfortable energies yet, as all Centaurs, he also carries gifts…
In Dante’s work “divine comedy” (Hell: Canto XII) all the Centaurs are “guardians of the river of blood” – Chiron, Nessus and Pholus are mentioned by name, yet Nessus is actually talking and explaining… they’ll point their arrows at any soul trying to come out of the blood more than their guilt allows. ... Interesting isn’t it 😉
A clear hint to their function of “transcending” victim consciousness, guilt, fear and all those blocking emotions in order to accept the lesson and with this a new beginning…
Nessus obstacles are mainly abandonment, neglect, abuse etc.…
Mars with his role as active, outwards action, the divine masculine etc. has for sure been “abused” as much as the divine feminine abandoned which did hurt “both” and a natural order/ harmony (Quaoar) need to be re-established….
We truly get the chance to align our actions and divine masculine with a life-path (Orcus opposite) if we also hold the middle between our long-term goal/ideals as foundation (Earth) and the short-term solutions we may have to create (Pallas)… In this sense it’s arranging or seeding short-term solutions in direct alignment with the Earth’s themes and therefore also the natural order and life incarnate….
Pallas flanked by Mercury and Uranus – she’s standing right between the stars Azha and Zibal of Eridanus whereas Mercury over Azha and Uranus a little passed Zibal, him at the edge of the head of Cetus (the collective “mind set”). The river of life (Eridanus) starts just beside Rigel of Orion (in elder depictions even did start there) and flows through Taurus into Aries where it takes some turn back into Taurus and then all through Aries again and eventually ends in Aquarius… Zibal and Azha stand in this “first flow” through.... We may have to be careful here, not to "drown" in all the information and outside technologies and opinion but to go within and "feel and listen" to our very own communication-system, cell phone etc.
We're really "plugged in" at "various fronts" ;-)
As I said in the “listing” of the first Grand Trine, it’s fire and fire – therefore holds a lot of creative potential that wants to be used and will be used – hopefully wisely 😉
The Mars-Nessus conjunction takes place in 9th house energy - which symbolizes higher communication, the "higher mind" and learning, teaching etc...
Now I need to address the 2nd Grandtrine:
I did title the Jupiter – Neptune conjunction “when belief meets possibility” – expanding the mind set and with that creating chances beyond what we previously believed possible, expanding the dream-states and what’s possible within them, to expand all our bodies, awakening, awareness etc.….
Hygiea, the maintenance, purity and hygiene of our various bodies – so meant not only in a physical way – there are the “universal laws” and they work on all levels….
Ceres, the mothering and nourishing, the care conjoining the Twins of Gemini are talking about the communication – what do we “say, write etc.” within and with the world around us – are we nourishing ourselves with the choices of nourishment we make….
Ceres in opposition with Pluto means, that she’s midway in her cycle with Pluto and therefore may be able to “transform”, to understand, to be aware what is individually asked and might find ways of how to get a “higher ideal” not only communicated but actually planned….
This second Grand-Trine takes place in air-signs, so is about the mental power yet at the cusps of water signs - so we shall not be emotional in our choices of action and not rushing neither but really use our mental powers, the information we gather in all realms (also the dreams!!) to act in a balanced, clear and "truthful" way....
I think that with this Mars-Nessus conjunction we may have a tendency to act upon old experiences of hurt, distrust, "abuse", neglect and so forth which are creating things like like "old grudges", resentments, feelings of revenge and alike... also those things are then also related to grief, shame, guilt ....
So again, check the feelings underlaying the emotions.... ;-)
There are many Centaurs kept "alive" in the heavens - some as constellations and some as moving planetary bodies.... They not only guard the "river of blood", they can also show us out....
In Astronomy the Centaurs behave not only as Asteroids but sometimes as comets - brightly to be seen for anybody to follow that call...
Much Love to you All,
