An intense Venus Saturn conjunction perfects tomorrow in Scorpio. This is karmic love at it's most profound. Fear-based
astro-peeps can get quite het-up when they consider a Venus Saturn
conjunction, and especially one in Scorpio that conjures up deeply secret and (tantric)
powerful relations.
While it is true that, depending upon the dynamics and the interaction
of chart, person, circumstance and karma, this can be a challenging conjunction;
it is one that also symbolises commitment and responsibility towards that which
we love - and that can freak out ‘freedom lovers’ (a.k.a. commitment-phobes)
who have yet to understand the concepts of interconnection and interdependence,
and how there is liberation in knowing Oneness in all things.
From a personal point of view, some of the most important
things/people/events I have ever been involved with have this celestial pledge
of dedication, durability and devotion. So when dealing with matters of the
heart over the next few days it may well
be a case of ‘feel the fear, but do it anyway’, especially when developing
relationship or building business and/or career ideas and connections that bring
about respect and self-esteem.
From the astrological point of view Venus and Saturn are
making a marvelous aspect (60°) to the current Mars-Pluto conjunction in
Capricorn. This is a little bit complex but I trust (hope!) you will be able to
follow the importance of the relationship planets (Venus and Mars) in
relationship: Mars and Pluto, while in Capricorn, are also in mutual disposition
and ‘friend’s’ with the Scorpio Saturn: Pluto rules Scorpio (the sign Saturn is
in) and Mars is exalted in Capricorn, meaning that Mars works best in this sign
as he loses the wilfulness associated with blundering chaos and gains mastery
through his initiation into Universal understanding. Together, this mighty combination
suggests strength, stamina and stealth – all of which can be used for good or
bad.
Venus, however, is in her detriment
in Scorpio, although being empowered by her good relations to Mars and Pluto, the
Goddess’ darker energies may well mean that jealousy, obsessions and paranoia
are given the short sharp shrift.
In our new world order based upon love-wisdom and compassion,
such difficult dynamics are used to help overcome duality, activate the
heart-mind, and generate the everflowing nectar of Bodhicitta, relative and
ultimate.
Wishing to develop Bodhicitta, and that all mother sentient
beings are free from suffering, is considered relative, and this may well be
enough during the powerful eclipse coming up early in the week, as the lunar
eclipse sparks off once again the theme of 2012: global heart-mind activation.
The lunar eclipse on the 28th November constellates
the 7 degrees Sagittarius Sun and Gemini Moon, within a ‘finger of fate’ or ‘finger
of g0d’ (nodding to Greg for Divine spelling), yod formation. This ‘finger’ points
directly to the Moon during the eclipse, representing our emotions; responses
and feminine intuition lie in the (Gemini) mind, which resides in the heart.
So wherever 7 degrees Gemini-Sagittarius, Scorpio or Capricorn are in your
chart, these are the areas now involved in adjusting to the development of heart-mind.
I say adjusting because this is configuration is like a push-me-pull-you, when funnelling
intense pressure requires consideration, effort and precision. During this
Lunar Eclipse, as it is the moon which provides the precision, it is essential
to look at Gemini more deeply.
Doing so
with esoteric astrology we see the sign of communication, neighbourhood, and
siblings, Gemini’s esoteric ruler is Venus, planet of love and harmonious
relations; learning to communicate love therefore, to our brothers and sisters within
our immediate environment is essential to enhance the orthodox mind of ideas
and thoughts.
This degree of the lunar eclipse is also the very same
degree planet Venus was at during her epic transit of the Sun this year. And it
is also the very same degree which will be aspected at the Winter Solstice 2012
by Jupiter, Sagittarian ruler of wisdom and higher learning. Get the picture? Consciousness
resides in the heart. Train the mind now and see the bigger picture with a
loving heart, and be released from the bondage of attachment and aversion.
There’s also a deliciously magical and profound cosmic
energy to tap into that helps soften any harsh revelation. The celestial
delight I speak of is due to Goddess Venus alluring and loving in Scorpio (with Saturn), linking
up with Earth Mother Ceres in fellow sensitive water sign, Cancer; together Venus
and Ceres then constellate a gorgeous ‘Grand Water Trine’ with spiritual
Neptune and healing Chiron in Pisces. For the next few days we may even sense
certain things, ideas, people and situations are worth loving, forgiving and
saving, such as honesty, nature and friendship.This Grand Water Trine will come into greater focus with the Moon in Cancer on the 30th November.
Next month we have a new supermoon to look forward to and, of course, our Winter Solstice global meditation for world peace and heart-mind alignment.
