stellArium & ethereal counterparts

Jupiter Saturn cycles determine social trends and changes. They are very important at the mundane level, as Jupiter stands for legal systems, religion, philosophy, far distance travels and Saturn represents the lord of karma, the time keeper, the master, politics, structure .. to mention only a few aspects of their symbolism. We have many centuries of observation to rely on, for the interpretation of this particular planetary cycle to be reliable enough. Deeper transformations are activated by the transpersonnal planets such as Uranus, Pluto (both involved in the grand cross occurring now) and Neptune, all discovered in more recent human history. The last Jupiter Saturn cycle started ten years ago, with a conjunction at 23° Taurus (the powerful 14/05/10 lunation at 23°09 also occurred less than 16min away from this point). Taurus is the sign of tangible reality, security, personal property, values, gifts, the earth and fruitfulness. The symbol for 23° Taurus is "a jewe

Nov 2 09-19:13:55 GMT-2e11 41n23 on this full moon we'll need to take a stance! while being reminded to "cultivate our garden"... i call it a "land-ing" this is the very first warning in a two yrs (or so) long series : 1- w saturn in libra now approaching a square to pluto we have to be totally scrupulous and fair to others! there is a high price to be payed otherwise (my earlier ref. to lord of karma pointing to the straight line) ... 2- the grand cross sun.mercury/moon/mars/jupi ter in fixed mode  (pulling in 4 directions) underlines a conflicting ideological stance - weither we'd like to avoid it or not, our secrets will possibly be exposed by another's compulsive jealousy and possessive nature. 3- by proceeding slowly carefully and compassionately (like a woman watering her flowers)-and by being considerate for that person's vulnerability- we may ultimately find a mutual compromise.. 4- don't forget: the 'purity

This Full Moon on December 12th is in chatty fast moving light Gemini... but the chart shows a Grand Cross locking the energies of Sun, Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Moon. A Grand Cross is fundamentally a very stressful configuration, and because it involves four squares and two oppositions, this pattern affects our actions and energy drive as well as our capacity for balanced relationships : a Mutable Grand Cross can feel like pressure building up to easily disjointed and scattered energies. The image that comes to my mind is the breaking of glass : put intense consistent pressure on a window for instance, it will resist and resist and resist a bit more until it just shatters to smithereens ! Full Moon, Dec.12.08 16:37 GMT - Nice, FR The major challenge here arises from coordinating reactions. With a Mutable Grand Cross we should expect the unexpected and we shouldn't be surprised if this pattern hampers the mood in the usual end of the year activities or even
