"When the last five degrees of Sagittarius are stimulated by transiting planets, a process of awakening is initiated.
The arrow of the centaur points ‘beyond what we know,’ and at the same
time refers us symbolically to ‘what we have always known’ in our inner
depths. These
intimations have a strong ‘felt sense’ but are not easily verbalised or
quantified.
"A time of accelerated spiritual development occurs,
with its attendant life challenges which may include rapid change,
separations, crisis, illness and stress as outmoded ideas are released.
This ‘empty space’ is where we are receptive to Grace, and like the
black hole that resides
at the core of the galaxy, it generates the substance which will birth
the new, individually and collectively."
ASTROLOGER Philip
Sedgwick has written that the GC "emits a wide array of powerful
radiation, most notably infrared (IFR). This infrared energy pressures
the
subconscious mind, providing the release of learned behavior and
memories, both negative and positive, all in the interest of moving
forward."
It
makes sense that in order to allow new awareness to unfold, we need to
create space in our energy fields through purging what no longer serves
us. The infrared radiation from the GC helps with that process, while
the Saturn-Pluto-South Node alignment helps reveal to us the patterns
and attitudes that need to be
released.
Mr. Sedgwick also includes this warning about the physical effects of working with the GC:
"Often,
when an emotional download of healing data completes, the body
sometimes follows with its own symptoms of letting go. Ranging from
shaking, chills and even the elimination system moving into high gear,
verification for the inner evolution appears."
A POWERFUL LUNATION, to say the least! And,
we might call it "the icing on the cake," given that we’ve been working
with the spiritually expansive Jupiter-Neptune square for the past
couple of weeks. This means we are already quite aware of the "empty
space" that Ms. Reinhart describes--as well as the "attendant life
challenges" that accompany spiritual evolution.
Tonight's
Full Moon is also significant in that it begins the waning phase of the
Moon, a phase that sets the stage for the Total Solar Eclipse on July
2. When the Moon is waning, we are instructed to reflect on where we
have been, to sort through the extraneous and discard what no longer
serves us. We are clearing the slates so that we can make a new
start--and a Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon represents a major opportunity
to begin anew. (More on the eclipses in upcoming Journals, and in my
webinar on June 27.)
THE SUN
enters Cancer this week, marking the solstice at 8:54 a.m. PDT on
Friday, June 21. The chart drawn for the moment of the solstice is said
to represent overall themes we'll be working with for the next three
months, until the September
equinox.
It's no
surprise that the Saturn-Pluto-South Node alignment in Capricorn
figures prominently in that seasonal birth chart, showing that we will
continue to confront old patterns and structures that have lost
integrity and purpose in our lives. But, new to the equation--and a key
component
of the solstice chart--is a Mercury-Mars-North Node alignment in Cancer,
directly opposite the Capricorn grouping. And, all of the planets just
mentioned are square Eris in Aries.
When
Mercury and Mars align, we tend to take action quickly, based on the
impulse of the moment. The square to Eris shows that discontent drives
these actions, and the opposition to Saturn-Pluto indicates outside
resistance. On the larger stage, since Cancer represents the public,
many will start to
voice their thoughts (Mercury) more assertively (Mars)--but hopefully
from a more heart-centered perspective (Cancer). It also will become
increasingly clear where those in power (Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn) may
be out of touch with the needs of the people they are meant to serve and
protect.
WEBINAR NOTES: The
webinar is just 10 days from today! (See announcement below.) If you
will be attending live, you may want to have your natal chart handy,
since I'll be explaining how to find the location of the Saturn-Pluto
alignment in your
chart.
