Since our Big Deal astroevent is unfolding on a Cusp (Jupiter-Quaoar-Pholus on the Cusp of Capricorn), any planet that Changes Signs will trigger It in one way or another, including the 27 December 2019 (8:30 pm PST) Ingress of asteroid Karma (Karma) into Aries. This might (already) be a rough Transition, since Capricorn (Let’s Fix It) and Aries (Let’s Start Over) tend to Compete with one another, and since Chiron (Despair/Miracles) is guarding the Gate of Aries.
But when we get past these gauntlets, What A Relief!! Karma in Pisces is all about Trauma Dramas, not for the sake of Drama, but because Pisces’s job as the Last Sign is Letting Go of Emotional Baggage and Held Emotions, and there’s no better way to Let Go than Drama. On the other side of the Gate, Aries has neither History nor Herstory, but a Clean Slate. We may Experience some tests of our Ego’s Relationship to Spirit, especially as Karma crosses Chiron, which it does on 1 January 2020 (1pm PST), at 2 Aries. But other than that, Karma in Aries could mostly feel like a walk in the Park on a lovely Spring day.
The five-year Karma-Chiron Cycle is about whether we’re Victims of our Long-Term Self-Sabotage Patterns, or we Choose to Alter them to our Advantage. The latter Choice may take much Trial and Success and many False Starts, so we’ll also need Commitment and Dedication. It will be very important to Remember that Angels Can Fly because They Take Themselves Lightly.
Most of the time most of us don’t even stop to consider whether we’re Victim to our Karma, we just are. We seldom Realize that we have any Control over it, or even Conceive of the Possibility. We may not even Notice that the Patterns are Recurring, so we may not even Regard it as Karma, just “bad things that happen to good people,” Randomly. So long before there’s any Option to Choose to Alter our Karmic Patterns, we need to Get Conscious of them.
Well, there’s an App for that. Er, I mean, there’s an asteroid for that, for Getting Conscious, in fact two of them, and one of them also “happens to be” Changing Signs on 1 January 2020 (5am PST). Remarkable, these Coincidences, eh? The asteroid is Moira, which was named after the Greek Goddess of Fate – aka Karma. We’re all Helpless in front of our Fate … as long as we’re Unconscious of it. Once we’re Conscious of our Fate, it’s Replaced by Choice. Not always an Easy Choice, but Choice nevertheless. Scorpio is the Sign Moira is entering, which is all about Getting to the Bottom of Things. Very handy.
Here’s Karma’s 27 December Aries Ingress chart…
In this chart Karma/Karma Challenges (Squares) our popular Survival or Bust Complex (Ixion-Pholus-Quaoar, joined now by Mercury/Awareness), implying that some of our Karmic Self-Sabotage may actually Threaten our Survival. We don’t need to name names, but if we Project this onto the World Stage, we can see how events could Converge into Survival Threats for someone who isn’t very Conscious of their Karma.
The second Challenge in Karma’s Aries-Ingress chart applies to our Instincts (Moon) about the sort of Life we could be leading if not for our Self-Sabotage (Moon Square Moira-Haumea). For instance, we could be Painfully Aware of how much our Karma Threatens our Well-Being, and while Painful Awareness might help Motivate us to Want to Change, it may also make it more Difficult to Launch our New Path. If it does, don’t Worry about it. While these Energies are Important and Powerful place settings for January’s Big Energy (Focusing on Transformation), by the Ides of January they’ll seem trivial.
We’ve plopped a Fixed Star into this chart and the one that follows. If you’re old enough you may Remember the movie Beetlejuice that came out in 1988, in the middle of the Harmonic Convergence. We’ve added the Star Betelgeuse because it’s also on a Cusp, but mostly because some old news about how it could turn Supernova any day now…
…is in the news today. While Betelgeuse has a Reputation as a Star of Ultimate Benevolence, I’ll have to do some major Reframing in order to come to that Perspective about it’s influence in my own nativity. It Seriously Challenges Karma-Chiron and our Survival Instincts (making the Karma-Chiron to Ixion-et al Square into a T-Square).
The 1 January Chiron Initiating Karma chart, which can double as Moira’s Scorpio Ingress chart, follows…
…but I keep face-planting into the keyboard, so I’m going to have to save its interpretation for morning.
We’re also deep into the 29 December (2:30 pm PST) Station of Vesta/Beliefs.
