Heliocentric sidereal planetary cycles Astrology – empowering and connecting on our evolutionary paths

---------------------------


Timetable:

10th of June 2025  Saturn-Eris cycle at 330 degrees mark

 

13th of June 2025 Jupiter-Pluto cycle at 150 degrees mark


19th of June 2025 Ceres conjoins Nessus in late sidereal Aquarius


20./21. June 2025 June Solstice while Mercury conjoins Mars


28th of June 2025 Vesta meets Juno in earlier sidereal Scorpio probably separate


 

Below what I wrote about June in the "Astro-life peek into 2025" post:

Saturn is here now same time in his last few degrees from Neptune and so there's an "interplay" taking place - one that is based on "clarity" and "openness" towards a total new understanding of reality (within the "container" of the very own constructs)...

I find it interesting that the Mercury-Mars conjunction takes place the same time around and reminding us of their "interplay" between "thought and action" as well as reaction and response...

As Asbolus is a "seer", one that observes without judgment but discernment in the constellation of possible "hastyness or overboarding etc." together with Jupiter in a "improving" state of cycle with the transforming Pluto, there might come up a kind of urge combined with "impatience" for processes of evolutionary changes... yet, if we can "read the signs" (or synchronicities) we can be sure to be guided securely even through seemingly turbulent times...

The inner and the outer - the home and the state or country - the spiritual sides of ourselves and the Human psychology etc. ... I think, there might be a "new era" coming up, one that is more "inclusive" or at least, an awareness of the interrelationship.

---------------------------


“Union in perfection”

 

End of May, there was the Hygiea-Sedna conjunction about which I wrote with the subtitle “two truth in one stroke”. This conjunction is still active, especially in the earlier part of June, nevertheless it’s a cycle and will therefore be active for several years.

Just as the charts look a bit different as “steps” (days) have been taken, so will in each cycle the development show the next step.

The chart below, is the one of 7th of June 2025, 24 hours after Venus conjoined Pluto – Mercury had to move a little, in order to create what you see below…


Heliocentric sidereal Astrology chart describing 7th of June 2025

Our fast inner planets demonstrate here, that sometimes a quick little shift can bring form and perfection to “chaos” …

 

To see a Merkabah like this, with all the main planets involved is rare -  yet, there’s one exception - the point marked around the Libra-Scorpio cusp, as Vesta and Juno do not belong to our definition of “main planets” and bring emphasis to their upcoming rare conjunction.

There is a “linking” or collaboration going on – it’s Saturn who is in trine with Vesta and Neptune with Juno.

 

A six-pointed star, or its “container/outlining shape” refer to the shape visible on Saturn’s northpole, the star of David and many traditions and teachings.

The 3 oppositions (red lines) that connect the corners, do make “mystic rectangles” visible that are also called envelopes.  

In this sense, we see that when “integrating” the oppositions, we can “collapse polarities” and see the perfection or the “orchestra” that our planetary bodies do draw in the heavens and within us. (It may go both ways though).

 

When we try to produce such “perfection” from our “human perspective”, it’s like trying to be better than a god of Greek mythology – there’s a famous story about that and Athena (a human woman challenged Athena into a weaving competition). So, it’s not a great idea to try to "force" our human idea of "divinity" but to instead experience our very own divinity – it’s a “together”, a cooperation and "perfect".

In more "wordily" terms we can also translate that into collaborating with the inclusion of the own abilities, talents and passions as otherwise we're kind of going "against ourselves", as we do not "fulfill" what we have and often enough, we then become "miserable", unhappy, frustrated, fearful and and and...


While we may see a lot of "chaos" in the world in times of great transformations, the "information" or divine, is always there and it can be "seen" underlying in all forms, just as snowflakes show diverse geometries, perfect and unique....

Saturn and Eris


The Two take the whole sidereal sign of Pisces into "sandwich", Eris has now or is about to leave the constellation Cetus through whom's belly she travelled through for quite many decades, whereas Saturn is at the tail end after he had come through this sign several times during this time (his orbital period is 29 to 30 years whereas Eris' ca. 557 years).

When thinking of the story of Jonah in the whale's belly, we can see the "transformational period" we're ending now, which same time asks us to stay in the "new or next" more than in the "old or past", to embrace and "anchor" the new paradigm as the new basis of operation.

As Eris is approached by Chiron, we also have the theme of "loops or repetitive behavior" but also "mastery or teaching" here.


More about this cycle and aspect here: Saturn and Eris cycle post



Jupiter and Pluto


This pair stands in an angle quite a bit into their cycle, the "last 30 degrees" not before the conjunction but before their opposition. Here we “learn” for integration, whereas within the Saturn-Eris cycle we “complete” with a vision for the “next” …


The Jupiter-Pluto cycle, in my view, got a lot to do with vibration and sound as well as "connection".


Evolution and expansion has been perceived as something “difficult” as it comes with a lot of challenge and even chaos. The metamorphoses or transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly means a “cocoon” is formed within which a total re-wiring takes place, yet, before that, a caterpillar eats and eats with seemingly no further task than to destroy our plants/vegetables we care for.

Instead of being in fight with the symbolic caterpillar, we can instead already “see” the butterfly gliding through the garden and recognize that we may go through a similar “metamorphoses” ourselves.


Ceres and Nessus at 24°17’39” sidereal and constellation Aquarius

 

Latitude for Ceres 10°35’12” South and Nessus 10°36’46” South – therefore the Two really close in “line of sight”.

The Two are kind of starting a few days with intense changes and opportunities.

 

Ceres - Nessus conjunction chart in heliocentric sidereal Astrology view.

Ceres and Nessus (red circle) are in a 30° aspect with Chariklo in late sidereal Capricorn constellation Aquarius.


  • The hexagon we saw earlier in the month has partly dissolved, because fast Mercury is now approaching Mars and opposes Saturn and Neptune…

  • Earth/ Moon are approaching opposition to Jupiter and Asbolus for their conjunction (the geocentric Sun is approaching the pair).

 

The yellow lines in the chart do connect various planets or pairs in pentagonal aspects – quite many of them and I guess especially important is the one between Venus, Mercury and Mars. Yet, also Jupiter and Asbolus connect in pentagonal form to Vesta and Juno and to Pallas. Eris and Chiron too, are connected to Juno and Pallas in pentagonal aspect.

 

Ceres is sometimes named the “new ruler” of Virgo and speaks about mature feminine energies. How we nurture ourselves and others - how we would like to be nurtured or how we receive nurturing. The theme of nurturing includes the energetics we take in as for example our environment, people, news and so on…. She also speaks about listening to our whole being, also the body – what do we need to feel well – a long hot bath, exercise, meditation…. The list is long…

 

Nessus speaks of abuse, neglect and denial and/ or our reaction to such situations. More on an emotional level though – sometimes we feel a certain way and when we can clarify it, we find out, it wasn’t meant in such a way at all, an “illusion” which we created ourselves. He’s more like showing where we tend to victimize ourselves and where we therefore make space for others to “abuse” us. Another perspective of the theme is, where we “neglect” ourselves, or have abandoned abilities or dreams etc. – once we break such habits (or cross the “river”), we create a whole new life for ourselves…

 

It seems obvious, that Ceres wishes to nourish and Nessus as the “ferryman” to let us “cross-over”.

The Two work with “blessing in disguise” energy – once we perceive the “blessing”, we’re crossing but that’s really a question of what we nourish.

Chariklo adds discernment of potentials, as well as the themes of “sacred or secret spaces”, sanctuaries and alike.


To “work” with oneself is completely different to suppressing emotions – huge difference!!!


I made the comparison to the caterpillar and the butterfly earlier and its cocoon – so, there’s this “direct” correlation here again – Chariklo provides the “space” and Ceres the nourishment, while they both discern what can enter that space Nessus is bringing us to. Note, in this process, even when already on the journey, we at times like to “test” ourselves, if we’re “ready” (Nessus), so be aware when repeating “old themes” or “HOW” (basis frequency) …

 

Be aware, Nessus and Chariklo as well as Chiron and Asbolus are Centaurs – they embody the “wild” as well as the “civilized” – so at times we may ourselves or observe when “horses go wild” or we with our “horse power” … (reference to the German proverb “mir sind die Pferde durchgegangen”, which translates to “my horses ran away” in the meaning of “I lost my temper”)


This means, there’s a fire (Centaurs, in Astronomy mean they’re a combination of an asteroid and a comet, they can behave as either) and we can use that in various forms – the most famous example here is the “anger trigger” which often enough comes from stuff we “accumulated” which leads to the famous “drop” that causes the container to overflow and afterwards we may feel tired, empty and maybe even ashamed. Another way might be, that we’re aware of that and do not wish to accumulate any further and so we may seek an activity to let it flow “through and out transformed”, which doesn’t exhaust ourselves nor compromises our relationships or potentials (usually with anger, it’s something that is “active” like sports, dance, martial arts, yoga, hiking, WHATEVER).


With other themes of “accumulation” it might be a different solution, that helps us “transform” – whatever, it’s “within us”, so we have to give THAT the space, something we’re “passionate” about, as there’s then the most “fire”/potential included.  

 

A yet other scenario or possibility is, that we see others not having taken the steps for themselves yet, and out of it, we can recognize where they are – without a judgment but just as an observation and maybe the memory of us having been there with “closed ears” to other possibilities…  no need to try to "change" that, we can only "change ourselves"...


Sometimes we actually consciously go into situations that feel like “alarm, not safe” and that’s when we’re “testing ourselves” – we then know how “grounded” we are, yet, might also know, when we have to take some “measurements” (our tools) in order to not “fall back” as far… or we feel we have “picked stuff up” during the day etc. and then we need a “cleanse”.

 

The fire cleanses and so does water (the river) – there might come the point, when we actually are “dropped into that water/river” and so we’re in this sense “cleansed” and brought to the shore - reborn… (take this “symbolically”)


 

June Solstice at 4°41’43” sidereal Sagittarius (Earth) and Gemini (Sun)

Earth – Sun axis at 23°26’9” declination ("tilt" of our polar axis in relation to the ecliptic) for several hours and during this time Mercury conjoins Mars exact …


The polar axis is the axis of rotation here and in this sense symbolizes an intention.

The South Celestial Pole is situated (crosses through a point) just south of the constellation Octans in sidereal Sagittarius, whereas the Northpole points to a point near the star Polaris of Ursa Minor in sidereal Gemini.

Everything grows from "root to crown" and so I interpret the Southpole as something "starting", yet, as a rotation axis, it can't be only "one" side but holds the "outcome" of the Northpole as well - it belongs together, is there the same time so to speak.

Just as a Solstice (or equinox) happen through the play of the Sun and Earth, they form an axis themselves, when one is facing the other ...


The thing in our "now times" is, that the Solstices take place very close to the Galactic Equator, the Milky Way, which was by the ancients also referred to as a river...  


Mercury – Mars at 9°47’44” sidereal Virgo at the star Zaniah

Last August / September I wrote intensely about the Mercury and Mars conjunction cycles, as they had a conjunction at their Northnodes and that lead me to their close relationship or principle at work.

Those who will be able to see the conjunction geometry (that part is only accessible with a paid subscription, rest for public), it's now no 5 on that wheel....


We do own a pretty amazing "intelligence system" within - it's programmable to a certain level. Yet, there's another "same" mechanism at work, that's not "earthly" and one with "sensors" so fine, that we simply can't lie to it and we get what we "ordered" aware or not.


The "word", thought, idea as well as emotions are linked to actions and manifestations in this sense. It's a creative process - sometimes it's in process faster than we consciously are able to think .... that brings questions to the table Humans are pondering on for millennia.


Their chart as also the Solstice chart:


Mercury and Mars conjunction during June Solstice 2025 in a heliocentric sidereal Astrology chart

  • Mercury and Mars circled red.

  • Earth/Moon system at Solstice point in green, with the opposing Solstice mark in sidereal Gemini (geocentric Sun) and the two Equinox marks all also in green.

  • Therefore, you can see, Neptune is now in alignment with the Equinox point under the neck of the westwards swimming fish in sidereal Pisces.

  • Mercury and Mars are just a few degrees passed that equinox point.


There’s a special emphasis on these points – combining the galactic and the Earth crosses in reference to the ecliptic - forming a Grand Square, a cross.


When we now put into consideration of some, that I said further up, then we have now a decision to make – are we going to be of service?? Are we going to “listen”?? Are we going to “see” – it’s the question if we’re going the “higher” way, that we have illuminated for ourselves or not.

Nope, it’s not about putting other people before us (even though it might at times look like that) but it’s about putting ourselves into service of our “higher self”, of our “blueprint”, of our foundation, our “soul and spirit”, of our “love” etc.

Remember, what does have potential?? What does grow out of a foul seed?? What does grow out of fear or lack etc.

We’re growing and harvesting at the same time – and just as “we” have developed great technology, we also have unbelievable potential within our very own “technology” within, to which we’re ALWAYS connected… sometimes it works differently to what we think it “should” (giggles, just like the one in material form) but it always does work FOR us – without any exception (and that's so often the very hardest part to swallow). No, we're also no "underdog" here neither, you can even argue or be angry with your own divine - yet, you'll end up laughing sooner or later ;-)


In more earthly terms, we may see stuff, that we do not like at all, that we think is opposite to what we would like or even destructive - if so, try to see the "butterfly"....


We may also experience a kind of "re-wiring" within ourself - a kind of change of the "brain / mind".

Furthermore, there's the theme of "bloodlines" (which can be applied to not only family - just think of "relations or ratios") and a kind of "torch run" can take place - the giving over of information, ideas etc. and same time receiving the very same...

It can also indicate changes in the hierarchy of companies, communities etc.


I wish you all a simply "perfect" June,

Fran

Many changes might be on the go – some parts are challenging as they ask for decisions and actions but on the other side it’s same time an opportunity to harmoniously or "silently" or effortlessly slide into a new way…

Decisions may include of what to keep and what not - yet, it’s not necessary to fight the old in order to “be” in the new but more like allowing a gradual flow...


As I said to a Friend the other day: “when cars were invented, we didn’t kill all the horses”…

 

We could also say – reprogramming – when it comes to our personal ways, the collaboration within, the alchemy in the “spiritual” sense or simply changing a behavior, a location, a value, a job, a belief etc.

Some changes involve a "repetition" - like after moving, one needs to reprogram the new location into the very own "driving automatism" and after a few times, it's done and one doesn't need to think about it anymore.

There’s though also the element of let’s say beauty – if we see a flower we have never seen before and declare it as the most beautiful one, doesn’t mean another one isn’t beautiful, but we’re expressing how intrigued we are by the novelty…  

 


To be “skeptical” about new things or ways, isn’t necessarily bad – it just means, that there is thought and the ability to express them.

Of course, being trapped in fears and worries, will freeze one into inaction but when worries, doubts etc. arise and being “allowed” with openness, then there’s room for solutions to come up.

Emotions are setting things into motion – yet, they’re also part of our inner communication system and that means, it’s a “two way street”. If we deny ourselves to look at the emotions that arise, we miss the call.

It doesn’t mean that every emotion is “true” so to speak – it can be that it’s just a “learned” response, a belief etc. and there’s where the discernment comes into play. Yet, also THIS is a creative, proactive part of it all – there’s no “good or bad” in this but lots of information and creativity.

 

When having an idea, or somehow a perception of how a solution or a creation could look like, some sort of action is required – may that now be in the sense of gaining more information, thinking, discerning or going to have a look or whatever would describe the “steps towards” it… yet, it might suddenly turn into a different, unexpected direction which doesn’t need to be bad or “negative” at all…


I'm sure, we will see a lot more of "stuff" surfacing over the next years, that might at times put us like into a "pressure cooker" as we'll have a lot to discern, to let go of but same time to see the possibilities and chances and to decide what to do with all of this.... yet, I think "planning" will become more difficult as things might be so "young / new", that we don't really know how to "predict" and that means many will feel this "insecurity" because one seems to loose the control...

For years now, I have the impression that our time is "pushing us" into learning ourselves - that includes the trust and faith into our "non physical, metaphysical and spiritual" parts... Kind of like learning to "have the own back" in this collaboration with the very own multi layered and dimensional parts...

--------------------------------------------


When you look at the chart below, you see a lot of "red" but under there, there's also all the blue we have built up in May... so there's "tension", there's decisions and polarity that will be there for some time in June very directly and latent for a while - pressure cooker... yet, again there's all this harmonious energy as well and that means, we're dealing with fundamentally benevolent energies... a kind of like a "promise" in this sense... or in other words, it's like remembering the own "core", that which isn't shaken by the outside happenings, the part of us that can strengthen our resilience...


Just as a "heads up" - Venus will position herself during the Solstice in opposition to separating Ceres and Pholus, Quaoar - she will, with this, again form a Grand Square...

It's marked with the red "arrow" and the word "resolution" in the chart below....


The Ceres-Pholus conjunction Astrology June 2024

The Ceres - Pholus chart as a representative for these few days....


The big red square - is in this sense "short lived" as it involves fast moving bodies...

Yet, it's building during the Vesta - Varuna conjunction and is fully there with the Ceres-Pholus conjunction as well as the New Moon...


  • The Vesta - Varuna conjunction circled red


  • The Ceres - Pholus conjunction circled green


  • The Jupiter - Sedna conjunction circled blue


 

Vesta – Varuna conjunction at 12°50’6” sidereal Cancer

 

Vesta stands a little south of Varuna but north of the ecliptic very close to the Praesepe M44 Beehive Cluster and Varuna just passed the star Decapoda of Cancer.

 

Their last conjunction took place in September 2020, only very few degrees from where they meet this time – what was interesting in the 2020 conjunction was their opposition to the Jupiter-Saturn-Pallas stellium in earlier sidereal Capricorn…

Their next conjunction takes place on 6th of February 2028 a few degrees further towards Leo.

 

Vesta is our inner, sacred flame – so it’s our devotion but she’s also about “endurance” – how much are we going to “endure” (also in the sense of “time” and “other tasks” to support etc.) in order to keep our flame burning, to find our “purpose”, inner knowing (also knowledge in general) and actually act on it. She’s also Saturn’s daughter and as such they share the theme “commitment”….

The first “Vestal cults” (Roman name – Hestia Greek) came to western Europe after the Trojan war by refugees who were, according to mythology, guided by Venus…


Varuna is the “all knowing creator God” of India and stands for the natural flow of life and its rhythms. Astrologically the influence of Varuna is one of more cosmic, galactic or “Soul level” – all these outer “Trans Neptunian objects” seems to me to “refine” the Astrology towards the inner life as an “integrated part”. The discovery position in middle of Gemini, does indicate or emphasis on the integrative forces, the teamwork and grounding/ anchoring of the natural, cosmic laws of life and creator-force into our daily lives without hesitation. Living the own path and life…  

Rhythm, waves, wind, breathing – all themes I see in Varuna…

 

The placement around 12°-13° Cancer

Directly Involved are the stars Decapoda, Asellus A and B and the famous Praesepe M44 “beehive cluster” all of the Cancer constellation:

  • Deca got its root from anything “ten” (Decapoda means 10 feet) but 10 is also the number of completion and new beginnings. The 10 represents the full self-awareness that ultimately leads to the awareness of others… 

  • The Asellus-stars are talking about stuff that might come up, like history and what is “calcified” in belief-systems…

  • Praesepe the M44 beehive cluster is asking to walk away from anything alike, to build a home or nest where it makes the most “sense” and to get the direction from within…

It’s a very transformational area and includes “womb” energy, the birth of something new that may go with a very own, unique flow…


This is also the longitude of Eris’ most northern part of orbit – so there are realizations and there’s actually no space for lies (energetically)… one can always try to lie to oneself but in the end that leads nowhere…


Aspects formed by Vesta and Varuna

Our pair is in a 150° with the Ceres-Pholus-Quaoar conjunction and in a 120° angle with Hygiea in sidereal Pisces, which means there’s also a square connection between Ceres and co. with Hygiea – these 3 “placements” do form together an irregular triangle that yet adds to a full 360°.

Vesta and Varuna are also in a 135° angle with the approaching conjunction of Mars with Neptune…

 

 

Ceres – Pholus conjunction at 13°18’5” sidereal Sagittarius

 

As Pholus is for years already in conjunction with Quaoar, every body who meets with Pholus also meets with Quaoar… it will go on like this for quite some more years…

Ceres met with Pholus last time in September 2019 just a few degrees earlier in Sagittarius – what was interesting then, was the approaching conjunction of Saturn and Pluto (Chariklo there as well) and that Jupiter was with Ixion at the Galactic Center (Ixion also in latitude).

Their next conjunction will be in February 2029 – we’ll “work” on this for almost 5 years.

 

Ceres is sometimes named the “new ruler” of Virgo and speaks about mature feminine energies. How we nurture ourselves and others - how we would like to be nurtured or how we receive nurturing. The theme of nurturing includes the energetics we take in as for example our environment, people, news and so on…. She also speaks about listening to our whole being, also the body – what do we need to feel well – a long hot bath, exercise, meditation…. The list is long…


Pholus is the Assistant for a healing or transformation processes as he heightens the perception – especially the sight (from physical eyes to the “inner eye”) – to see “through”. He works together with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and is in a special harmony with Orcus as well as Chariklo… so we can see his powers in this but it’s a power we mostly have access to from a more private, sacred and/or inner place where we feel safe and open to the magical worlds, he may be able to make visible to us – the mysteries of our inner self and such related experiences may lead to deep inner transformation. Pholus can be the trigger for a wave of events….

 

Quaoar is about the natural laws of life, its harmony and sacredness. This harmony is accessible by surrendering and to let go of what is disturbing this harmony. Natural order and law includes death – physical death of biological life as well as any kind of energetic transformations… Natural law and order or as I like to call them “universal laws” connect all outer planetary bodies – to see the harmony of “interplay” and where that is “disturbed” might be one of Quaoar tasks...

 

The placements in sidereal Sagittarius

 Ceres stands south of the ecliptic and also south of Facies (Sagittarius’ face) whereas Pholus and Quaoar are standing north of the ecliptic in the constellation Scutum (very close to the border to the constellation Sagittarius but north of it).

 

Facies is a globular cluster and marks the face of the Archer. The focus of the bow and hand is “overlooked” and “steered” by Facies – we take the aim but with total consciousness and honesty and are willing to “face the truth”…. It’s a “magnetic” area that can be used to bring “order” into maybe chaotic scenarios that try to divide and distract….

 

Scutum is a little constellation next to/crossed by the galactic equator, north of the ecliptic and south of the celestial equator. Scutum is depicted as a shield . In ancient times, Scutum was seen as part of the constellation Aquila (the Eagle).

Scutum, even small, holds quite a number of “deep space objects” because of the vicinity to the Galactic Equator.  

Near of where Quaoar and also Pholus is standing, there’s a so called “dark nebula / cloud” – it’s a very dense area of the heavens. It’s like a “cocoon”, within which a metamorphoses or birth of new stars can occur.  

Nick A. Fiorenza called Scutum the "defender of the cross - precession cycle of Earth" - I can see, how he came to the conclusion.... yet, think of all crosses, the geometry of the 4, the 4 directions etc. - so squares might not be so "bad" after all....

 

Aspects formed by Ceres and Pholus

Ceres, Pholus and Quaoar standing at the apex/”T” of a T-square in 90° angles to the both sides of the Hygiea (hygiene, purity, maintaining health) – Makemake (governing of resources) opposition. 

They also stand in a 150° angle with the Vesta – Varuna conjunction.


 

The Vesta-Varuna and Ceres-Pholus, Quaoar relation

I see here, that we have on all levels an "improving" energy - whatever we "burn" for and want to bring out into this world, have nourished in the past etc. ... we may have thought it's "one thing" and may realize, this wasn't the actual goal but a mere step towards it...


Just a bit like one wanted to lose weight and started to eat healthier, exercise etc. and even so there is a weight loss, there's also the realization it wasn't just that weight-loss but also a total change of life-style, which leads to many other changes...

Yet, it could also go the total other way around - someone who is very active, does exercises and so on, suddenly may feel a "break" or slowing down is needed for whatever reason...

 

So, we have some kind of "balancing out" as well as the "improving, upleveling" energy here...

We often are in the belief, that action is kind of very "visible" and in this sense forceful almost forgetting about the "inner forces and strength"...


So, there's this "wave/field effect" involved, like in breathing too - in and out, up and down - so we can see how "interrelated" this is... it's one, yet with different "qualities" to it, neither good nor bad but both essential...


I think, we're here in the situation, that we have to see the "e-qualities" here and become aware of what we're growing and/or nourishing...

Nope - it's not another part about how we create reality, you know that by now... no, it's the "perception" of our "stability, core, soul, sacredness, life, nature" that is somehow always same and "untouched", yet same time undergoing a metamorphoses...

Ohhh, sounds paradox but think of how you perceive the Universe as immense, limitless, unperceivable and same time it's actually a living community that "breathes" as well....


Jupiter – Sedna conjunction at 5°0’40” sidereal Taurus

 

They met last in May 2012  in late sidereal Aries, (ca. 22 minutes from where Uranus stands during their conjunction this time around).

Their next conjunction will be in July 2036 almost 8 degrees further into Taurus from this conjunction.

Because Sedna is on her way to her Perihelion, she moves “fast” along this part of the zodiac and we can see “movement” even in these shorter periods or cycles as here with Jupiter. – for comparison, there are times when she moves 2° to 3° along the zodiac within 100 years and that slows to less than a 1° in 100 years when she’s even further out…  we have her “around” for roughly a 1500 years and the rest of her 11’400 years of orbit, she’s out there but in reference to the zodiac hardly moving at all….

 

Yet, even in times when her placements do not change much (and that’s the same for any “slow” moving planetary body), the aspects do and if there are other bodies near the conjunction etc.

 

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”)…

Sedna is called “the emergence of the exiled feminine” (named by Nick Anthony Fiorenza). She’s showing where we were hurt and “left” and closing ourselves in fear of being hurt and betrayed. But reconnecting with what the feminine principle is about makes space for re- opening and participation in life as a “whole” – she’s like a gate for limitless possibilities.

 

The placement at around 5° sidereal Taurus


The ancient astronomers and astrologers did consider the 5th day of a month as a “bad omen”, a day of change – nowadays, the number 5 is often considered one of “change”….

Of influence on this longitude in reference to the ecliptic, we find the following stars – starting in the south: Theemin and Beid both of Eridanus, Furibundus of Taurus (Sedna conjoins), Alcyone of the Pleiades (7 sisters), Mirfak and Miram of Perseus…

  • The star Furibundus (nu Tauri south of the ecliptic) marks the right leg of the bull – Furibundus means “frantic, maddened or inspired” (quite a range of meaning, lol).

  • It’s said, the Pleiades and the Hyades are bringing tears in the form of rain onto earth (the Hyades additionally with a lot of “tantrum” – storms)- an emotional part of the heavens. Nowadays the Pleiades are often called a system of “healers” - those who have found the way through the grief, the losses and pains…

 

The whole story of Perseus and the Gorgoneas (Medusa is one of them) is well known. The hero Perseus beheads the Medusa (snakes as hair, turns people into stone) with the aid of a shield used as a mirror – this idea was presented by Athena (Pallas)…

  • The themes of fear, the “frozen state”, denials, mirroring effects etc.

Less obvious themes here are:

  • Liberation, communication, values and like the "wonders, miracles"


It might be interesting to note, that in sidereal Astrology, the conjunction happens on the "cusp" between the 2nd and 3rd house when calculating from the March equinox point as the entrance to the 1st house...

 

Aspects formed by Jupiter and Sedna

Jupiter and Sedna stand in a 120° angle by/from Pluto and in a 60° angle to the Neptune, which also means, that Neptune is in approaching exact 60° angle from Pluto and those 3 points forming a small triangle. Yet, as Pluto as well as Jupiter and Sedna are also each in a 120° angle with Juno in earlier Virgo, there’s a Grandtrine formed, that connects the small triangle, which gives us a “Kite / Pyramid / Diamond” shape aspect choreography.


A short "conclusion" about Jupiter and Sedna

Yes, we may have been disappointed, betrayed and worse - if we though, hold onto those feelings, we can not move on, we're kept in place and same happens when we try to "fight" the experience - we in the end only hurt ourselves...

Interestingly the stories of Medusa as well as the one of Sedna are similar in the sense, that both have tried to "adapt" to their family/society values and were with this, faced horrible outcomes and both had to die in order to be liberated, to express and give "birth" to something new...


Sedna shows us, that there are limitless possibilities and Jupiter is enhancing this. Yet, the hard thing is, "something has to die" or "metamorphose", change, adapt...

If we do the very same, if we have the same perspective, the same mindset, belief etc. nothing will change and its hard to grow any form of opportunity from it...


The "mirroring effect" is something that's kind of life/nature's way of communication. Just like in the saying "as you shout into the wood it will echo back"....

Sometimes though, we're also the mirror for someone else - it means, we can say "no" to something...


Sedna is VERY FAR out, a planet most of the time "away" on the other side of the "termination shock" (astronomical term) and that means, we can directly ask for help from our "outer, inner, higher, deeper" parts (soul, immortal, god-part etc.) - we always have our backs ;-)


Another aspect here is, that we may say, THAT we always have our own back - we even manifest or attract our beliefs and what we speak out etc. - we create with these "tools" - it functions a bit like the algorithms used in our modern technologies....

New Beginnings 06.2023 - planetary cycles


1st / 2nd of June Mars conjoins Pallas in sidereal Leo conjoining its star Shir

18th of June Mars conjoins Orcus in sidereal Leo – some hours prior to this

conjunction, there will be the May new Moon with Earth just over the

Galactic Center.

21st of June June–Solstice will be discussed separately


28th of June Pallas conjoins Orcus in sidereal Leo, both South of the ecliptic, while

Mars stands north of the ecliptic at the star Shishimai of Leo.

29th of June Vesta conjoins Uranus with Vesta between the stars Botein of Aries

and Atirsagne of Taurus…. probably posted together with early July….



Mars – Pallas – Orcus conjunctions…. The Players:


Mars is traditionally the “God of war” – innovative, impulsive action but also of leadership qualities, how we apply our “willpower”, our inner force. Really a lot of physical and vital energy, the divine masculine principle (can have a lot to do with “protection”). If afflicted he can express as “explosive, ballistic” power.


Pallas 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 in an “introspective way” to find innovative/creative solutions to problems.


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



Mars and Pallas and Orcus do have orbital points in sidereal Leo – Pallas Northnode around 27°, Mars’ Aphelion around 11° sidereal Leo, and Orcus’ Aphelion at around 16° sidereal Leo.


Mars is during these conjunctions in a descending phase of orbit because his most Northern point resides in later sidereal Cancer. For Mars it’s the time just after the “opposition” (like full Moon phase of orbit), awareness, together with his Aphelion, indicating being in a phase of “introspection”, of gaining momentum.


Pallas on the other hand is in ascending phase of orbit on her way to her Northnode, so she’s about to reach her “first quarter square” (exact NN on 31st of July 2023). For Pallas it’s the last few degrees of her first quarter, kind of deciding, planning of how to apply the insights gained…


Orcus is in a descending phase, in his last quarter, or to be more precise, ca. 14° away from his most southern point in early sidereal Virgo (constellation Crater – the cup), an “allowing, open” yet “finalizing, understanding” energy.


Mars and Orcus in the “objective” phase of orbit and Pallas in the “subjective”.


Yet, from the “overall” perspective of the Sun, they’re working in the quarter between the Rising and the Immune Coeli (or the other way round in an evolutionary sense) – either way around, a “subjective part” / growing the Self part…. – just like the baby during “whole pregnancy”.



Mars conjoins Pallas at 11°59’45” sidereal Leo


That means, Mars less than a degree away from his Aphelion at 11°23’ (means he’s furthest away from the Sun, whereas Pallas is almost 30° passed her Perihelion - closest to the Sun – therefore they are “close to each other” in this sense).


Mars is near the ecliptic just passed and a little north of the star Shir of Leo (rho Leonis), whereas Pallas is south of the ecliptic in the constellation Sextans – it might be interesting to note, that the celestial equator (Earth’s equator “thought” outward) is “ascending” along the constellation Sextans.


This longitude / placements in sidereal Leo:


The star Shir is classified as a “runaway star”, meaning it’s direction of movement is “crossways” in reference to the other stars, yet, at the moment Shir is located right at the ecliptic. Shir / rho Leonis isn’t very well known as it looks not very bright, yet, that’s just because of the distance – in fact this star is massive and probably in a binary system with another massive one. According to Jim Kaler’s estimates, Shir would by far outshine Venus if it were located as close as 33 light years and he describes it as being “one of the hottest, bluest, and most massive stars that you can see with the naked eye”.


The constellation Sextans offers quite some surprises too – it’s faint in the night sky but there are “jewels” to be seen… For example, Sextans A, a dwarf galaxy and member of our local group (together with the Milky Way galaxy) at the outer “edge” of the group. Sextans I is another dwarf galaxy and said to be a “satellite galaxy” of ours and is “only” 290’000 light years from the Sun, yet in “moving away” motion. Another stunning discovery has been made in Sextans – it’s the so called “Cosmos Redshift 7”, which is one of the oldest and most distant galaxies known and contains stars of the “first generation”. – Hmm, that makes me ask the question, when it’s light was on the way for almost 13 billion years, where is it now? still “there”?? or maybe distributed into “everything”?…

That brings me to the “meaning” of Sextans in Astrology – it’s about knowing the present location and defining where one wants to go. Evaluation and “definition” in this sense – yet, it’s also a reminder of the evolutionary path we go and that we’re responsible of the direction and proper navigation through life(s).


When I think of Pallas here, with her creative insights and “strategic, combining” abilities there might be a call or reminder included that comes from distant space and time – something we may even have forgotten but can be “key” to what there is or can be…

Mars though, in his “awareness and understanding” phase, with truly powerful energy at hand and the ability to “go further than the currents”, to follow those own “insights” and “direction” he gets from Pallas...



But let’s have a look at the rest of the chart, to get the bigger picture…


Sidereal astrology chart about the heliocentric conjunction between Mars and Pallas in 2023

The Two are in a 30° aspect from Varuna in the middle of Cancer, in a last trine (120°) to Pholus in sidereal Sagittarius (Pholus in 150° aspect to Varuna), and they’re first squared by Earth just over Antares of Scorpio (Earth in 135° to the Jupiter / Eris separating conjunction and them in opposition to Venus at Spica of Virgo) which gives a configuration looking like a 4 in the “wrong direction” or like I would draw a little sailing ship (drawing isn’t a talent of mine, lol)…


The Jupiter – Eris theme is not only still active, but also “integrated” in this chart – here the post-link.

The theme in short is about the expansion of consciousness with which we may even see benevolence or at least “necessity” in hardships – the Universal laws at play - in turn, it does change or “transform” us…. In that chart Mars was in trine (120°) with Jupiter and Eris and if applying generous orbs, then Pallas was as well.



As the placements do involve some kind of “evolutionary theme”, let’s have a look at the first aspect in the “evolutionary direction of precession” (clockwise) – 30° angle from Varuna in the middle of Cancer, talking about the need of “knowing oneself” as basis to go from… In my understanding, Varuna talks about “rhythm”, the ups and downs, the in and out as in breathing for example, yet also in a vaster scale of course….


Pholus in sidereal Sagittarius is in a first 150° angle from Varuna (kind of improving, as in “doing better than last time”)and last trined by Mars and Pallas. Pholus is a wise teacher and in Sagittarius in his northern part of orbit (descending - objective) – he’s a Centaur who can bring perceptional abilities in times of great transformation (perception more in the “visuals”, eyes, inner eye etc.). Pholus’ placement seems to be in the very southern part of the constellation Scutum (the shield – “defender of the cross” – often the shield is drawn with a cross). “Crosses” represent one’s path of action – rotation axis and the equator. On the same longitude, we see “Facies” a cluster that marks the face of Sagittarius and a reminder of facing the own truths by whatever there comes, to stay “sovereign” and “strong” within the winds of happenings, in order to discern lies and deceit….


For Mars and Pallas, the Varuna placement is meant as a first step, that needs now to be bridged into its next step, just becoming aware, sticking the head out in this sense, whereas the Pholus theme may become a kind of “ideal”, a “direction”…


The square to the Earth/Moon system, may feel more pressuring as so much else is “attached” here – generally it’s a decision that is asked here – what does one want to actualize, ground in. Earth and Moon stand just over Antares, one of the most luminous and voluminous stars in the night sky and the heart of the Scorpion. From the Sun’s perspective, they stand in the quarter between the Descendant and the IC or when looked at in planetary movement the other way round…. I know, many do not give so “nice” reputation to Antares but I perceive the Scorpion as something that comes up not only from the center of the galaxy but also from a distant force deep within the Universe. Themes may be dark or uncomfortable but a Scorpion mother carries her child on her back until its shell is “hard” enough to function as the own “protective shield”… It’s on this huge and bright heart, that we’re “deciding”, if we’re “hard or cool”/objective and “self-centered” (having a stable core or heart) enough to face the consequences of our actions as a “lesson learned” and basis for the next steps…. Or in terms of the Earth/Moon system, what we have materialized and felt as consequence of our expression (and the other way round)…

The Sesquiquadrate (= 3 x 45°) aspect to Jupiter and Eris is talking about the “outwards materialization” and distribution, that already happened but how will it be perceived, used or not.


- Considering that Uranus stands “un-aspected” near Botein of Aries, we may talk about

themes of AI and biotechnology – the inner and the outer one… the liberation of it or

integration of the “useful” etc.

Jupiter and Eris are still in separating conjunction – Eris is “cutting through” energy, “ground shaking”, revealing and not concerned with “men made laws” but when she’s meeting directly with Jupiter, she will help him to get the “expansion of consciousness” through to the collective, which may lead to understanding of “the reality of truth”… truth may be based on belief, whereas reality is based upon observation – yet, observation, depending on where one “stands” (view point) might also include some “distortion of angle” – very tricky situation 😉 – therefore, Eris suggests to use the “universal laws” as basis from where we discern and give value and create virtue as suggested by Venus in opposition at the star Spica. It’s “unity consciousness”, the cooperation within that expresses in “heart intelligence” / virtues. Venus is also in a last square to Pluto and in a 72° (pentagonal aspect) to Pholus – so, kind of “closing the loop” here.


I just got the message to mention the power of “nocebo and placebo effect” – it’s “belief based”, yet very powerful and creates “reality”…


- Talking about the mind, cooperation and communication – Mercury stands in

conjunction with the Centaur Chariklo, who brings discerning and sheltering energies.

They stand near the middle of Capricorn, slowly approaching the stars that mark the

“sharing” of constellations (Capricorn and Aquarius), which will shift the energies from

the practicing part to the more outgoing parts. Yet again, if Mercury and Chariklo have

not yet “developed” themselves (whatever one is practicing), the “outgoing” will be

accordingly…. As the Two are in a sextile with the Earth/Moon system, it’s a “letting go”

and same time a “pushing through” energy at work – just like the child that wants to

escape the maternal guard…


- Saturn shall not be “forgotten” here – he’s in aspect to “outer forces” – he’s in a first trine from Haumea and in a last 45° to Sedna. He stands in the constellation and sign of Aquarius – kind of ordering the at least philosophical aspects and ideas / visions for the “next steps”….


Let me try to summarize in a “simplistic” form:


Solution oriented planning and action, under inclusion of heart-mind based perception of the “observed” truth and reality connection, towards self-mastery/improvement as a basis for next steps to come by allowing oneself to take responsibility and face the own doings and stressors that lead to what is….


Pallas is an energy that likes to work with whatever there is – nothing is without “value” for “whatever” and therefore she’s also a “recycler” in this sense. Before one can use or “recycle” something, one needs to know what there is….

Including Orcus – 19°11’0 to 19°15’21” sidereal Leo, at the border between the constellations Hydra and Sextans.


Orcus is travelling these 4 minutes and 21 seconds from the time of the Mars-Pallas conjunction until the last of the series, his own conjunction with Pallas later in the month.

The southern area there, doesn’t have a lot of “impressive stars”, any that we would be able to see by naked eye – a little south though, in Hydra, there’s a deep space object “located”…


the "Ghost of Jupiter" infrared Spitzer Space Telescope picture
NGC 3242 - the eye nebula or better known as the "Ghost of Jupiter" in the constellation Hydra (Leo part)

It’s NGC 3242 a nebula often called “Ghost of Jupiter nebula” or “the eye nebula”. This nebula was discovered in February 1785 by William Herschel and because of the resemblance to planets, they were and still are called “planetary nebula”, even so they have nothing to do with planets…. This type of nebula are formed, when medium mass stars (like the Sun) are in their “transformation phase” to become white dwarfs and because of that, these nebulae are in stellar terms only very short lived (ca. 10’000 years).


Picture: infrared Spitzer Space Telescope.


Whereas the constellation Hydra is a very old one, Sextans is a very young one. Sextans is said to be “created” to fill “a void”… I could not yet figure out, to which constellations the regions and its stars were accounted to in ancient times – I suspect it was mainly Leo though – because the depiction of the Lion has changed a lot throughout history and the “influence of perception” by the various Astronomers as well as the fact that the “heavens change”.


Let us take exactly this “problem” as part of Orcus’ placement meaning – a kind of using the feminine creative forces and wisdom (Hydra) to fill “space, the void”, to give “light” to what still lays in the dark (in the sense of ideas / creativity)….

When also adding the theme of “Jupiter’s Ghost” nebula – the transformation that took place with this star (from a “main sequence star”), now in its “ionizing phase” providing the actual “matter” in order to give “form”….


Maybe that’s what we All have promised ourselves, when we were very young – to create something “different” than there is/was…. May that now refer to “outwards creations” or to how we make ourselves – isn’t it the “same” 😉


What happens when we consciously break a promise we made? Most people will feel some kind of shame or guilt or something alike…. On the other hand, when we make it happen, we will most likely feel good, happy etc. … do we even mean it when we make a promise, or are we just not having the guts to say “no” and what are we doing then? …. How do we react/ respond, if someone else doesn’t keep a promise they made to us?...


Mars conjoins Orcus at 19°13’44” sidereal Leo – on 18th of June, only 6 hours after the New Moon over Orion in early sidereal Gemini


I find the New Moon being so close, an interesting aspect of this conjunction – during that time, Earth is over the Galactic Center and therefore the New Moon at the “Galactic Anti Center” and the Asteroid Juno south of the ecliptic slightly north of Betelgeuse, Orion’s shoulder…


Even though, in heliocentric view, we don’t see the position of the Sun, nor the Moon as something separate from Earth – yet, Juno is still there… she’s about “one to one” relationships (also for example “ratio’s”), harmony and balance etc. – so, let’s explore the “relationship” we may have with Orion….


I have for a long time stated, that the Orion’s are about “fundaments”, architecture etc. and that there’s a decision to make, if we see Orion holding a sword or a torch / light up…. – because nowadays, that upwards arm is right where the galactic equator crosses the ecliptic….


Now let me tell you some Orion myths:

Orion was a handsome giant granted the ability to walk on water by his father Poseidon (Neptune, yet various stories of parenthood around). He served king Oinopion as a huntsman but fell in love with the king’s daughter. He was blinded and exiled from the kingdom after raping the king’s daughter when intoxicated. Orion asked the god Hephaistos (son of Hera/Juno and Zeus/Jupiter and the god of fire in its physical form and use for crafts and arts) for help, who sent him to Helio rising place and the Sun did restore his sight….. Later Orion became a huntsman with Artemis (twin sister of Apollon) the goddess of hunt – there are many versions of the story, the outcome usually same, Orion was shot dead by Artemis and then put up into the sky – in some versions, she shot him in anger and in others, she was deceived to shoot him….

Reference: theoi.com


You see, in geocentric view, the Sun stands above Orion during this conjunction and also our solstice axis is there – the March equinox was here at around 4400 BC… - yet, in heliocentric view, it’s nowadays that Orion is rising… something to ponder about….


Furthermore, I would like to remind you, that Pallas is approaching Orcus for her conjunction too, therefore close with Mars and Orcus. Beside that, Pallas most southern point of orbit conjoins the star Thabit near the feet of Orion…. Hmmm…

Some more mythology:

Mars/Ares was the Sun of Juno/Hera by Jupiter/Zeus and was in a relationship with Aphrodite, who was at time married to Hephaistos (the one who helped Orion)…. Hephaistos though, was not accepted by Hera at first… beside that, Hera wasn’t very “keen” of Athena because Zeus birthed her without her involvement….



It might be all this entanglement here, that may let us see the conjunctions here in June (that will have their “unfoldment” for with Mars 2 years and Pallas over 4 years).

Interesting to note is, that during the Mars – Orcus conjunction and the new Moon, Juno is in trine with Haumea, a “mid wife energy” (much more to her though) north of the Virgin in sidereal Libra and Juno is also in a sextile (60°) from Jupiter who himself now is situated exactly on the bond/ string of the upright swimming fish of Pisces in early sidereal Aries.


The Mars – Orcus conjunction, together with Pallas are in a trine with the approaching Vesta – Uranus conjunction in sidereal Aries and in a sesquiquadrate (3 x 45° - “outwards materialization” and distribution).


We can learn from all these stories, that for any kind of “transformation” the willpower, the directing of the fire is of importance and for sure not to lose sight of what we “truly” want (like love that is given freely)… cultivating grudges and “ill-will” isn’t leading to any solutions….

Furthermore, we’re reminded that we have an “inner fire” – the Sun shines within and through us – manifesting on Earth in brilliant beauty…


As in heliocentric view, the Earth/Moon system stands at the Galactic Center in early sidereal Sagittarius, and during the Mars – Pallas conjunction with the brilliant star Antares and it’s beautiful surrounding we’re surely asked to apply wisdom that comes from galactic, universal cores or as the placement of that conjunction spoke about the “primordial” energies we have access to….


Earth not only hosts us; she also provides us with the energetics of all that once was – information stored in her grid – probably any cause-effect story we could think of…. As the energetics in the solar system as well as the magnetic field of Earth is changing (scientific!!), we’re getting cosmic energy, that was before not able to come through… now, the Earth/Moon system will be able to “translate” those energies into a language we can understand…. So, restore sight….


Venus though, has moved from the star Spica of Virgo during the Mars – Pallas conjunction to late sidereal Libra, just passed the star Zubenhakrabi of Libra, just passed the Southnodes of Mars and Mercury and is now opposing Uranus (opposition – awareness), in last trine to Neptune (symbolizes a “new or improved vision/goal”), and she’s in quincunx (150°) by Mercury who is by now approaching Eris in later sidereal Pisces ….


I think, this all could be interpreted as to discard judgment but to gain balance and harmony on the path – to improve / practice the Mercury traits of communication and collaboration in response to the awareness of the Uranian traits of “bio technology” and with this all to start seeing with clarity…


Now add all of this to the Mars and Orcus theme of “actualizing the own life path” / soul oath and / or the few “promises” related questions I was making further up ….



Pallas conjoins Orcus at 19°15’21” sidereal Leo, constellation Sextans – on 28th of June


Pallas is helping us, to find creative solutions, she’s “inspiring” in this regard, yet, she’s aware of what is available and works from and with the mind…. she’s meeting with Orcus and will help us, to find solutions/ways/strategies based on the decisions we made during the new Moon and the Mars – Orcus conjunction… solutions, or ideas about them for the next step on the “life path” we choose, to regain our sight and the more we see, the better we navigate…


Remember, Orcus is on his way to his own most southern part of his 247 years orbit. This means he’s “surrendering” and “seeding” (like a balsamic Moon-phase)… He’s just about 14 degrees away from that most southern point in the constellation Crater (the cup)… it’s an “allowing”, an “openness” that is asked here …


They meet taking the constellation Sextans into “sandwich” – Orcus on the southern border to Hydra and Pallas on the northern border to Leo… - where are we and where do we want to go – in one go within this conjunction…


When we want “our life – path/purpose”, we need to define it – which also includes to let go of the one that we have been on before. In a wider sense on the evolutionary path of Earth, we’re also in a last quarter, just started – so, when we compare that to the harvest of apples for example, we eat some fresh, make juice with others, may dry some for storage and decide which seeds have potential for the future… when we’re now applying or integrating this process into our personal path, we’ll be “in tune”…. We may notice, through observation, that we’re “eating a rotten apple” – we can then either throw this apple away or see the “potential or purpose” it holds and may include that into our “strategy”….


Venus has by now moved over to Scorpio – star Alniyat, the throat of the Scorpion – it’s the link between Antares, the heart of the Scorpion and its head… Venus works through “attracting” / magnetic power and that’s how she communicates and can shift and alter, can make one change form – from the poisoned state to a nurtured state – alchemy that happens in the body, the heart and mind… allowing the own “child” (creation of self) to become…


By the way – Venus will reach her own Southnode on 4th of July 2023 – just about 10 degrees further into sidereal Scorpio, constellation Ophiuchus.


The Earth/Moon system though, has moved through the solstice and is now at the globular cluster Facies (the face of Sagittarius) and meets with the Centaur Pholus and south the Centaur Ixion. Beside that, she’s only a few degrees away from her perihelion and the crossing of the celestial equator with the galactic equator…


Ixion is like the grandfather of most of the Centaurs, he’s about the “lust for life” – a very potent energy – yet, when desires take over (shadow/ego side of Venus) he/it can become like a “tyrant”. Pholus though, is a wise teacher who helps us through transformational processes like “death and rebirth” (more in the sense of ideals, beliefs, view-points etc.) with his perceptional, visionary abilities…


We may have to face the truth, of all these energies “manifestations” – yet, by understanding that they’re an effect and not a cause, the first step is done…


I personally think – wherever we are in our developments / evolution, we’re “stepping up” to practice or get accustomed to the next one… it may appear “out of the blue”, it may feel totally strange and so on… yeah, so dismissing is one way but it will come up again…. Whatever it is – something “liked or not”….


Trust yourself, trust that you know what you’re doing or are thrown into 😉


With much Love,

Fran
