And the week wasn’t just about Ego Death, it was also about Transcendence, as asteroid BZ509 was also Stationary, on 17 October. Pairing their Stations in time is like having BZ509 Initiate a new Cycle with Nemesis – we have to read them as if they were Merged. BZ509 is a recently-discovered asteroid with a somewhat Jupiter-like orbit, which would give it some of the Power of Jupiter. But its orbit is Backward relative to most everyone else. It symbolizes Transcendence.
Here’s the chart of its Station…
A lot more going on here than in the Nemesis-Station chart. Just for starters, we notice that the BZ509 Station is Merged with (Conjoins) both our friend Saturn, whom we’ve just discussed, and dwarf planet Hylonome. Hylonome is about Stepping Out of Relationships where we’ve been Merged with Other.
Of course that only applies to college freshpersons without dependencies and other complications. Real Life is a lot more complicated. But the “Leaving” isn’t really about Physical Separation, it’s about Egoic Separation, about becoming your own person, directed by your own Mission, and not someone else’s. When we Change, the World Changes to reflect our Change. Many of the repercussions we Fear don’t actually evolve, and/or they’re Compensated by other Changes we didn’t foresee.
So in this case I was probably Merged with Rebellion, possibly as an Unconscious (and probably Karmic, given the Nemesis-Station chart) Reaction to having been Judged all my Life for “Lacking” Discipline. Everybody’s got a Saturn, so nobody Lacks Discipline – we just don’t understand how their Protocols differ from ours.
So to complete my homework I need to spend some time Wondering how Rebellion and Self-Sabotage have complemented one another in my Karmic history. If I don’t do that, I’ll likely be less Conscious the next time Saturn and Mars are in a Challenging Angle to one another.
A seldom-mentioned subtext of PIAVA is Expansion. Like that old Meditation where you become as big as your house, then your yard, etc etc till you’re as big as the Galaxy. Or the one where you Ascend to larger and larger Geophysical Perspectives. These are good ways to Explore your Karmic history, while Remembering that All There Is Is Now.
Mars is Waxing Novile to Saturn these days. The Novile is about Meditation. The current Mars-Saturn Cycle Initiated early April of this year in 9 Capricorn, “An Angel carrying a harp.” That’s pretty cool. The Mars-Saturn Cycle is about how our Energy interacts with our Attention to The Most Important Thing.
This chart has two Big Challenges (T-Squares)…
- Can we stop Projecting those Memories of Abuse onto everyone who reminds us of our historical Abusers? Or Get more Neutral about the Memories themselves, so we can Respond instead of Reacting in the many situations where they arise, especially when they’re Unconscious? (Nessus-OR10 T-Square on Hopi-Lachesis Opposition)
- Do we Trust our own Values? Do they Deserve to be Trusted, or do they need to be Updated, particularly the Values that came to us from our Karma? Or from our Abuse? (Eurydike-Venus T-Square on Lilith-South Node to Varuna-North Node Opposition)
And the most prominent planets in the chart are the two outliers that aren’t knitted into the bottom of the chart like everyone else is – Lachesis (Changing TimeLines by Choice) and Varuna-North Node (achieving Good Health by Cleaning Up our Karma and Attending to our Mission).
There’s a potentially interesting free series of webinars this weekend called “Finding the Life You Were Born to Live: Astrology, Life Purpose & Destiny,” https://www.astrologyuniversity.com/astrology-destiny-and-life-purpose-summit/, put on by Astrology University (which I’ve never heard of, but their faculty is reputable). They include a Wonderful quote from Dane Rudhyar…
“When you don’t follow your nature there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.”
Notice that these two form the base of a Yod (Pay Attention to…) focused on Saturn-BZ509-Hylonome (Transcending our Patterns of Giving Away Our Power). Touchè.
