in between ... ether and gaïa
after some time off from stellArium & ethereal counterparts, on this beautiful MoonDay, i will attempt to share some of my current visions and thoughts .. even if it's somewhat difficult to find my words
this morning i went out before dawn to watch the cluster and it somehow "spoke" to me
according to which house in our chart was activated by the ongoing cluster of planets in Aries, much has recently been happening in that given area of our lives .. most have experienced an incredible amount of energy that enabled the launch of a new cycle
however, this initial energy stemming pure and direct from the deepest core of the "self" .. also had with every occurrence, to go through a particular retributive phase
each of the personal planets in Aries first contacted Uranus in Aries (standing alone & total break from the past),
then squared Pluto in Capricorn (purification of sorts to better concentrate power)
and passed in front of Saturn in Libra (rectify the selfish goals & find the inner resolve to persevere)
to finally contact Jupiter in Aries (for a victorious take off towards the future) and before stepping out of the sign
during almost the entire period, the "not to be forgotten" Mercury went through its retrograde phase (allowing for a necessary perspective)

on this New Moon, there is something very special and crucial in the lining up of the current Aries // Taurus energies - they do show us how we may handle the challenges of this new collective cycle ..

in order to take shape and materialize after it was planted, a seed needs an enormous amount of power/energy to break its way through the surrounding elements .. it must be followed by the adequate nourishment and care, if it is to survive and become grounded .. once it comes to its own, it may then contribute fully to the whole
we each have a responsibility (Saturn leads) to gather and mobilize our truest and most singular inner resources before we further any global pretentions
we should therefore remember such basic and simple principles when looking at the chart for this New Moon .. in fact it does seems to indicate how we may find a new sort of balance between who we are on our own and in relation to society - between what we need and what we want - between what we can do and what we have to do
i would like to say something now about Saturn in Libra - sign in which the Lord of Time finds its exhaltation
Saturn is about time, space, structure, old age, limitations, isolation, fear, insecurities - and meditation, self-reliance, inner light, self-mastery, perseverance
Libra the sign of relationship, of social interchange, of cooperation, of living together
there is a moment in each individual's life (this also applies to the collective) when we have to "bow" before something "bigger" than our might - the kind of crisis that tears down any comfortable mask, forces us to face all hidden fears before we grow into a new level of maturity
insecurities are usually the source of our neuroses and are also a direct result of the unconscious fears we hold in relation to other people .. in Libra, Saturn foregoes its natural tendency for withdrawal and engages with others, applying its ambition for the common good
so Saturn in Libra may have ultimately brought some great benefit to this intense planetary activity in Aries
in Taurus it will get grounded and structured .. until it blooms into Reality (Venus still opposing Saturn)!
where it all merges .. oh son of ether and gaïa! you will be who you are
simply look in the right direction, open your arms
and face the new morning
