With a huge Reset going on here, it makes more sense to use Birth-chart Sensitivity or “Orb” – 6-8 Degrees, rather than our usual 3-Degree Current-Moment or “Transit”-chart Sensitivity, so we’ve Compromised to a degree. All of this month’s Stations occur in the same 0-to-9-Degree Zone, and the early-June Nessus Station is at 10 Degrees. ‘Tis a busy chart.
We should start with the “biggest” Configuration, which is a Grand Cross (Hassles Galore, but they’re often Mutually Complementary) and a Grand Trine (Blessings Galore) with common corners. This is traditionally considered an “ideal” chart, as it combines great Energy and Motivation (the Grand Cross) with ample Grace (the Grand Trine).
That is, however, a Colonialist Perspective, where the most Celebrated Traits are Effort and Successful Exploitation of Others. The current Western Patriarchal and Hierarchical Cultural model, in other words, where the Strong win over the “Weak” (including those with different Life Goals, which are by definition Weak). The Prize is Ego Inflation, Confidence, and Privilege. Aka Corruption and Abuse, when seen from underneath.
We can see this playing out in the news all over the Planet, as this Game is the stock and trade of the Declining Patriarchy. There’s nothing Abusive or Colonialist or Patriarchal about a Grand Cross-Grand Trine (“GC-GT”) chart itself; it’s the notion that it’s an ideal chart that’s Patriarchal. There’s a sense in which being born with such a chart “condemns” one to a Life of Effort and Achievement. But Effort and Achievement can readily be directed toward non-Patriarchal Goals like Community, Collaboration, Balance, Flow, Attunement, and the like.
Here’s the Grand Cross-Grand Trine version of the chart…
We’ve drawn the chart for the time when the Moon reaches the Midpoint between the 18 May Atropos Station (Endings) at Degree 1 and the 21 May Klotho Station (Beginnings) at Degree 0. You can see that the other two Fate asteroids, Lachesis (the Length of a Timeline) and Moira (Fate or Choice) are close by at 6 and 5 Degrees respectively. [In case you’ve forgotten, we always round Degrees up – 29 becomes 30 or 0, 0 becomes 1, etc.]
The Grand Trine is extended into a Kite by Chiron, but if we focus first on the primary GC-GT elements, it’s the Atropos-Eurydike-Makemake (Endings-Trusting-Creating) Stellium (a group of 3 or more planets) that’s the overwhelming Star of the chart, as the corner where the GC and the GT converge, as well as the location of the Atropos Station.
So the first thing we need to do is talk about the Cusp of Libra, which is as important as the Aries Point (Cusp of Aries). At the Aries Point a Seed of Spirit is planted into the fertile soil of our Soul. At the Libra Cusp we meet Other for the first time. Aries-to-Virgo is about our Personal Development, Libra-to-Pisces our Social Development.
We are, All of us, as Individuals and as Members of Groups of all sizes, entering a whole new phase in our Relationship to Other Individuals, and a whole new phase in our Relationship to Community. In a nutshell, we’re now Creating our own Social and Relationship Realities (Makemake), Dropping our Olde Obsolete Patterns around Relationship and Culture (Atropos), and Trusting that we’re going in the right direction (Eurydike) even though we seem to be Betraying Mom’s admonition that “You cannot do that, it breaks all the rules you learned in school.”
Keep that in mind when you’re tempted to be Motivated by Guilt or a Need to Please Others at the Expense of your own Values and Needs. Expect your Self-Sovereignty to be Tested as we approach 27 May (the Eurydike/Trust Station), when we’re likely to be Tempted to turn back to our Olde Codependent Ways when our old playmates complain that they are being Betrayed by the Shift in our Values and Behaviors.
Which is where Chiron comes in. The Kite shifts the focus of the GC-GT to Chiron, at the top of the Kite. Atropos-Eurydike-Makemake (Trusting-that-We-Can-End-Impediments-to-Manifesting-What-We-Want) becomes the Tail that Wags the Dog, and the Dog is Chiron or Despair, Despair that we “can’t win” – we get little Support for trying to Go Our Own Way, but the rewards for running our old Patterns are diminishing rapidly.
Until of course we Empathize with our Despair – “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re feeling like you can’t Win, aren’t you.”
The other two corners of the Grand Trine, from which our Blessings flow, are
Taking an Active Part in our New Beginnings (Mars-Klotho), which will probably seem Confusing and Difficult until 21 May, when Klotho Completes its Station. Confusion is the first stage of Growth.
Following our Essence (Sun), our Heart, or our Guidance, which in the midst of Rapid and Big Change, can also be Confusing. We may be in the Habit of Resisting our Fate in favor of Choice, but in this case we’re Asked to Choose to Accept our Fate, because our Fate is Transformation (Moira Conjunct Sun).
A final Caveat. If you have Expectations about What-It-Will-Look-Like-When-You-Go-Your-Own-Way, rest assured that they’re Dead Wrong, no matter how Psychic you’ve proven to be in the past. This is a New Game. Yes, if you’re Intuitive you’ll Recognize Home when you see it, but it’s the Vibration you’ll Recognize, not the Form.
If you’re eager to Play It Forward, focus on How-It-Will-Feel-When-You-Go-Your-Own-Way instead. And make the Effort to Revert to a Blank Slate before noon PDT on 21 May, so you can be Surprised and Delighted when it Feels Even Better once Klotho Completes its Station.
Another Complication – at 11 am PDT on 22 May, Orcus Completes its Station. Orcus is about Pattern-Breaking. So even after noon on 21 May you might still be a prisoner to your Olde Archetypes. So feel free to focus on How-It-Will-Feel-When-You-Go-Your-Own-Way, but you also want to PIAVA that you can Gently and Lovingly and Rapidly and Completely Let Go of All Patterns and Habits that Inhibit your Soul’s Destiny and your Ego’s Transformation to Supporting it Fully.
Close your Eyes and Look around for any Cables, Chains, or Dark Spots, particularly behind you. One at a time, Gently remove the Barbed Hooks at your end of each Cable or Chain, and hand it back to its Source. If its Source won’t take it, feed it to an Alligator. Alligators are very Skilled at this Work. One at a time, put a Mirror between you and any Dark Spots, facing the Dark Spot, then switch on the Bright Light that aims into the Darkness from the top of the Mirror.
Scan your Body for any Foreign Feelings – crawling or goosebumps or raised hackles (but not just your neck). Put your Attention into that Hole in your Aura, and PIAVA that your Self-Sovereignty and your Essence Lovingly and Gently and Rapidly and Completely patch the Hole, Permanently, with your own Energy.
You’re likely to feel Vulnerable there for a couple of days; consider the fact that you can now Feel your Vulnerability as evidence that you’re Healing – till now you were Unconscious of the Wound. Like a Tick or Mosquito, your Programmers distracted your Attention before they installed the Hooks. Whenever you’re Conscious of Feeling the Vulnerability, Fill it with your own Heart Energy.
You’ve undoubtedly noticed that the 3 December Full Moon chart is quite busy, peppered with nine out of twelve “corners” or points within a few Degrees of the 12-Degree Full Moon. (We always round UP to the next Degree – 11:00 is expressed as 11 Degrees, but 11:01 through 11:59 is expressed as 12 Degrees; to make sense of this, consider that Aries 0:21 is in the first Degree of Aries.) We’ve often seen this sort of Pattern busy-ness, but it’s usually been in the 20-30-Degree range. The latest example was the most recent New Moon (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2017/11/18/scary-new-moon/). That chart has eight “corners” in it – that is, eight of the twelve Signs were activated within a few Degrees of the 27-Degree New Moon.
Well, this is significant, because we often promote the Trioctile Angle as a signifier of Insight – the Trioctile is three eighths of the way ’round the Loop, and the Eighth Harmonic implies Rebalancing while the Third Harmonic means Love with Wisdom. So the Trioctile Guides us toward Adjusting our trajectory so it’s more Aligned with the Directions we’re Intending to go. The Trioctile is 4½ Signs, and since half a Sign is 15 Degrees, 4½ Signs from the 12-Degree Full Moon is 27 Degrees of the Signs that are appropriately distant. So with many 12ish Degrees and many 27ish Degrees Lit Up, we can expect to Encounter a lot of Trioctiles, and hence a lot of Insights.
While our major emphasis in astrology is on the Angles between planets, there are so many of those (one for each pair of planets) that we focus on Configurations – where the Angles form a familiar Pattern and sum to 360 Degrees, which fills the Circle. The Configuration that results from two adjacent Trioctiles is the Mjölnir, which is two Trioctiles that join on one end, and on the other end are separated by three Signs (a “Square”). Since a Square represents a Challenge (to Mastery of course), Insights about how to Respond to it are always welcome. So we consider the Mjölnir to represent Epiphany.
And with lots of planets near 12 Degrees and lots of planets near 27 Degrees, we have to Expect many Epiphanies. What do we actually find in this Full Moon chart? Eight Mjölnirs, eight Epiphanies. That’s Exciting…
The red lines are of course the Squares, and the ghostly metallic lines the Trioctiles. How do we read them? The planet at the tip of the Mjölnir triangle is a likely messenger to deliver Insights about Frustrations that the Squares create. Let’s start with a relatively simple example…
The Square from Moon to Orcus, both Trioctile to Juno. The Square tells us that we’re Challenged (Square) to Align our Vows and Promises (Orcus, which is Stationary, or Strong) with our Passion for WhatWeWant to Manifest (Moon). Since we are Co-Creators or Manifesters by nature, when we have Blocks to Manifestation – for instance Vows of Poverty or Chastity or Revenge, perhaps Past-Life – we need to move the Blocks out of our Field. The Mjölnir tells us how, in this case by Expanding our Consciousness (Juno symbolizes the Growing Edges of our Consciousness).
There are lots of way to Expand our Consciousness. For instance, we could take Inventory of what we Judge as Unworthy, Intuitively Choose one (by Pendulum or dart or coin-toss for instance, if one doesn’t jump out at us), and then PIAVA what it would take to Extend our Unconditional Love toward what we’ve been Judging. PIAVA is important here, because the Edges of our Consciousness are well Defended by the Ego, and normal thought processes will steer us away from Breakthroughs that will actually Expand our Consciousness.
If Epiphany isn’t forthcoming on its own, it would be an excellent time to PIAVA Insights into what Blocks our Manifestation.
Orcus, whose Station is Exact 8 December (8pm PST), extends this Full Moon.
The other seven Mjölnirs or potential Epiphanies…
Blocks to WhatWeWant to Manifest that seem to be “Fated” or caused by circumstances beyond our Control, or which make us Believe that it’s not Possible to Manifest WhatWeWant (Moon Squaring Lachesis-Neptune); Watch for Actions that are completely out of Character, and which may not seem related to What We Want to Manifest (Mars-Haumea, or Birth of New Actions), and Indulge them.
Let’s pick an example at random – suppose we Want Community, and we get a sudden urge to start a Garden (which we’ve never done), and then when we go shopping for a shovel we happen to meet folks who make Community around Gardening. It will be important for the next several weeks to Trust unfamiliar urges – the Weirder the better.
Issues of Trust, Confidence, or Self-Love that interfere with WhatWeWant out of Life (Eurydike Squaring Sappho-Chariklo); Watch for apparently-unrelated Fear that arises, seemingly out of nowhere (Sedna).
The more out-of-the-blue the Fear, the more likely it is to apply. When Fear Overwhelms us, we’re usually Motivated to get Grounded again as soon as we can, by Tapping for instance. That allows us to distinguish Present-Moment Danger from Regressions, and to Choose appropriate Actions, if any. But in this case, seemingly-randomly-sourced Fear is our Intuitive Vehicle, and we want to ride it rather than Control it.
We “ride” Fear by first locating it in our Body. If it’s Diffuse, just pick a place where it appears to be more Intense than elsewhere. Put All of your Attention directly into the center of that place, and hold it there. When your Attention Wanders, no Judgment, just bring it back. When the Intensity or location of the Fear Changes, you’ve succeeded. You can keep following it if you want, or if it’s dissipated, you can just Change the Subject.
This sort of Focused Attention is like a Poor-Sweetheart; other than relaxation of the Emotional Charge, you won’t notice immediate “results,” ie, your Fairy Godmother may not appear in the flesh. However, you will have Changed, and when you Change, the Universe Changes. Not just because the atom of the Universe that is you has Changed, but because the Universe that you see is a Mirror for Who You Are. For instance, you may have started this process Believing that you would never be able to do public speaking because you are too shy. But then, a week afterward, you find yourself speaking in public and enjoying it. You may not even remember that you used to eschew it.
And by the way, this Focused-Attention process works very well for any sort of Discomfort in your Body. Try it while you’re waiting for a dental appointment for your next infected root canal, for instance, or while waiting in the emergency department to get your next broken bone set.
Get the idea?
The Desire to Act Differently, to Do New Things, or just to Be Someone Else, abrogated by a Little – or Loud – Voice telling you “You cannot do that, it breaks all the rules you learned in school” (Juno Square Mars-Haumea); Watch for what you’re Inspired to Create, and put your Attention into Creating that (Moon), rather than Focusing on the stalemate between your Wants and your Stops.
After a while you can pause and just Sit Still for a while, and look to see if your Little Voice is still as Insistent. You may even Discover that what you’ve Created has satisfied your Desire and for the Moment completely bypassed your Stops.
Great Difficulty Setting Boundaries that Allow you to Be your True Self All of the Time, abetted by our Programming that we have to be “Nice” or the Sky will fall, and our Programming that it’s not Safe to be Completely Vulnerable (Juno Square Uranus-Pallas-Moira); Watch for subtle reminders of Promises or Vows that you have made in the current Lifetime or others (Orcus, which is Stationary).
This is a Biggie that we’ve been struggling with since 2012 or before, as we’ve Striven toward Yintegrity – toward Doing what we Feel Like Doing, Moment to Moment, instead of Doing what we said we would do or Doing what’s “right” according to someone else’s Rules. Yintegrity is an important part of the Unconditional Trust in our Intuition that we need in order to step into 5D.
Places in your Life where you Habitually “Live a Lie,” where you are Compelled to Act in ways that you’ve been forced to Learn, rather than ways that are Natural to Who You Really Are (Sun Square Orcus, which is Stationary); Watch for any Discomfort around Boundaries (Uranus-Pallas-Moira). You’ve always felt this Discomfort, you’ve just never really Noticed it before.
One of the simplest examples might be what you Habitually say when someone asks you “How are you?” You might still say the same thing, but then you might catch yourself wishing you’d been more explicit or more Honest or more Vulnerable. If that happens, don’t Hesitate to say “Wait a minute, Let me turn off the autopilot! I’m really…” – and then go ahead and Be more explicit or Honest or Vulnerable.
There are two Stellia (groups of three or more planets) involved that make the rest of this really complicated…
You know Exactly what you Need to Do, but you Hesitate because your Programming doesn’t Believe you’ll be Safe if you Do it (Mnemosyne-Aletheia Square to Jupiter-Vesta-Hopi-Karma, with Mnemosyne Stationary); Imagine yourself Doing what you Need to Do, and Feel your Fear about Survival, then when you’re in the thick of it, Poor-Sweetheart yourself (Chiron).
This one’s tricky because you have so many Masters in the Unconscious. There is the Master that Demands that you Grow, the Master that defines the Edges of Safety for you, the Master that Condemns your Lack of Unconditional Love, and the Master that reminds you of all the places where you Believe yourself to have Failed, and reminds you of all the “Lessons you’ve Learned” from those Failures.
Of course that’s all Krap, there are no Failures, only Experiences, and those aren’t “Lessons,” they’re Unconscious Limitations. And how can you Condemn a Lack of Unconditional Love – you can only Unconditionally Love any Lack. The Edges of Safety are only what keeps the Ego from Growing, and no one Grows from Demands, only from Surrender. All of which arguments are Meaningless because they’re just words.
You have to go in there and Merge with each Master, Feel their Power, then move your Identity to Yourself as their Slave and Feel your own Powerlessness under their Control. Then Poor-Sweetheart yourself. Then wait a day, and do the same with the next Master. You might well find more Masters than the four I’ve mentioned.
Now the Biggie…
By Galactic Order, your Planet is Raising Her Vibration. It’s not Forced, it’s an Order that She Rejoices under, because She knows it’s the Culmination of the current stage of Her Evolution. As atoms of Her Essence, like it or not our own Vibration is Rising as well, requiring a lot of Adjustments. Our task is to Avoid being Victim to these Adjustments (Chiron Square to Ixion-Saturn-Mercury-Pholus-Quaoar-Galactic Center); For this one we tune our Mindfulness to Honestly Being Fully Present with the Memories and Emotions that arise (Mnemosyne, which is Stationary, and Aletheia).
The Eighth Harmonic itself is all about Adjustments and Rebalancing, and these Mjölnirs are well tempered with Grace from their fusion with the Third Harmonic.
Mnemosyne’s Exact Station 6 December (3pm PST) represents an Extension of this Full Moon, and these Memories, and being Fully Present (Aletheia) with the Emotions they Evoke, are Key to Acknowledging our Rising Vibration. What Memories? Subtle, aren’t they. If they weren’t on the Edge of Awareness we’d have Faced them long ago.
Know anyone who is dying, or has recently died? What Emotions does that Evoke, and more important, what Emotions does it not Evoke because you’re Programmed to Suppress them? These “Held,” or Suppressed Emotions, are the currency of Enlightenment. The more successfully we’ve Suppressed them, and the longer we’ve Suppressed them, the less Awareness we have of them. If they’re still invisible to you, PIAVA that they contact you, Lovingly and Gently.
Once they Arise, or if they’re already Present and clinging to us like Slugslime, our task is to Embrace them Lovingly. We can use Focused Attention on them to our advantage. Remember that Love is Soft and Warm, while Fear is Cold and Hard. Find them in your Body and Soften them, Warm them. You can’t wash or rub off Slugslime, but there’s a trick – Grass will take it off. Which is the clue – bare feet or a butt (sure, bare is better, but optional) on the Earth, especially with your back to the trunk of a Tree, will Drain slimy Emotions (and their dis-ease counterparts) rapidly. Lying on your back on the Earth, facing the Sky works well too.
Let’s disassemble that Square…
Dwarf planet and Centaur Chiron tempts us to Respond as Victim, and the Antidote is Poor-Sweethearting ourself. If you’re new to the Feminine Perspective, we talk about Poor-Sweethearting at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2017/05/11/poor-sweethearting/. You can also look it up in the Categories list. The “Centaurs” orbit between Jupiter and Neptune, with orbits of about fifty years.
Dwarf planet and Plutoid Ixion symbolizes our Forbidden Genius. There is a part of us that is so Magnetic and so Bright that our Programmers felt the need to make us Ashamed of it, so it wouldn’t blind them. We’ve been working to Recover this part of ourself for a while now. If you haven’t unchained yours and invited them up out of the Dungeon yet, there’s still time. Focus on What You’d Never Do In Public even in a million-dollar bet. That’s what needs your Unconditional Love. This part of every one of us is mandatory for our 5D Community. The “Plutoids” orbit between Neptune and Sedna, with orbits in several to many hundreds of years.
Saturn symbolizes The Most Important Thing. When Saturn is Lit Up we’re being Asked to Let Go of all of our fallbacks, and put All of our Attention on Priority Number One. If you aren’t sure what that is (it should be Intuitively Obvious), PIAVA Guidance. Hint: it’s about all of the things in this list. If you don’t know Lady PIAVA, you can find out about her at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/.
Mercury stands for Awareness. Here’s one artificial aid…
Dwarf planet and Centaur Pholus means Responsibility. That means Being Responsive to, it doesn’t mean Being Blamed for. Blame is about assigning Guilt about the Past. Responsibility means taking charge of improving Future Outcomes. Eliminating all Blame from our intellectual and Emotional Reality is another mandatory prerequisite for Enlightenment and 5D.
Dwarf planet and Plutoid Quaoar (“Q” for short on the chart) represents our Survival Instincts. We Regress or Ignore them at our peril – as many in the US are doing. No Blame; they’ll get theirs. He who farts in church sits in their own pew, as the old saying goes. Just move to the other side of the church.
“GC” in the chart stands for “Galactic Center.” That’s Sagittarius A, the Black Whole around which our Galaxy revolves. Galactic Headquarters. We’ve talked at length about how Fate and Free Will are a Duality, an Either/Or, which betrays their status as an intellectualization rather than a Reality. So it’s not like it is in the Space-War movies. The Human intellect is Dual, Reality is Unitary and Multifarious. We Create our own Future by becoming Conscious of our Choices, by Letting Go of the Archetypes that bind us to Habitual knee-jerk Behavior and betray our Presence in each Moment (Again, seeArrival, above).
If you’re thinking “My God that’s a Lot!!!” you’re right on track. This is the Plot, and as Overwhelming as it is, it’s easy to lose. See how long you can Avoid Victimhood.
We’ve drawn the chart for the time when the Moon reaches the Midpoint between the 18 May Atropos Station (Endings) at Degree 1 and the 21 May Klotho Station (Beginnings) at Degree 0. You can see that the other two Fate asteroids, Lachesis (the Length of a Timeline) and Moira (Fate or Choice) are close by at 6 and 5 Degrees respectively. [In case you’ve forgotten, we always round Degrees up – 29 becomes 30 or 0, 0 becomes 1, etc.]
