A cosmic Grand Earth Trine charged Monday morning’s New Virgo
Moon with remarkable recuperative powers. The trine’s influence is heightened today (Tuesday)
as munificent Jupiter stations at 10Taurus, giving us perspective endowed
with stability, and precious time to graze enables one to digest and see what needs to be done in order to manifest
on the material plane.
By conserving and concentrating resources, this lunation
encourages one to get real and focus, to channel universal consciousness
through very ordinary circumstances, such as regular daily chores, taking care
of mind and body. As Lord Buddha says “Before enlightenment, chopping-wood, fetching-water;
after enlightenment chopping-wood, fetching water.” When we treat even the simplest
activities with care and attention, they become a potential source of pleasure
and, most interestingly, a gateway to the awakened Divine.
The sacred geometry at the start of this lunation is quite
unusual. Two interlocking ‘Thor’s Hammers’ suggest two very separate issues need
to be simultaneously ‘hammered’ (self-cherishing and emotional sacrifice, for
instance); yet this Grand Trine exudes more pure Goddess power than normal, which
tames the harsher energies we have recently been dealing with.
Spirit Sun is still travelling the heavens with love Goddess
Venus (a union which continues to remain in orb until 9th
September); and as they are both in the sign of the virtuous Virgo, now conjoined
by the receptive Moon, it compounds the feminine traits of sensitivity, intuition
and insight. The Virgo conjunction accents
an already beneficent trine between expansive Jupiter in steady Taurus and the
very subtle but commanding influence of Pluto, in authoritative Capricorn,
which currently demands a transformation of our value system. The Grand trine
thus indicates positive economic and environmental compromise.
Tuning into the into the (internal yin) Goddess, who is now applying
gentle pressure to find the middle ground, helps us understand to how the
desire to help others is actually of greater evolutionary significance than the
attachment to material acquisition. At the same time, we still have all the
ability to give form to all that we need.
As always, the energy of any given moment is one to work
with, as opposed to one that ego battles against. The trouble is a Grand Trine
is often so nice and easy that it’s often gone before we know it. So my advice
is to make the most of this emanating point of positive conditioning, and over
the next two weeks establish the endurance on celestial offer and create good
foundations for the coming autumn and winter months.
