4.17.2017 Sky Story

Aramaic chanting – that’s really the soundtrack for now, the ancient world is serenading us, so perfect with the the chart we have before us.

The only planet in the Air is Jupiter rising in the East, Retrograde (so retrieving beauty from the past – to invite into the modern world), Jupiter in Libra (Venus’ sign).

Venus just stationing – going direct on the fifteenth – and then you all got to see the pretty great photo of me fuzzy on a camel welcoming back Venus (the heliacal rise of Venus) from Mount Sinai – Whoa what a journey.

Thirteen Scorpio Rising which is Edward Snowden’s Moon it’s image is “telephone line men at work installing links to other realities the cosmic switchboard” so we go ‘ahhh’ so our little group again here we are welcome new people ancient long time people everyone you know gathered in this little circle of firelight we call the physical world (as Terry Pratchett says) surrounded by a vast pulsing mystery. And the vast pulsing desert.

Mars in Taurus setting in the west – The two Venus realms of Libra and Taurus, to invite in the stories of our kinship with the natural world. Jupiter in Libra is the stories of connectedness and kinship –  not only with you know with each other but with nature.  Jupiter in Libra is also the art form of blessing, the art form of the invitation and the art form of inviting in what we need. And as always, a trickster principle is – if we don’t know what to do, invite in what does!

So we are pattern tracking beings And for those who have an affinity with this language and might have noticed that there’s so much symmetry (again we love symmetry). Saturn is stationing just retrograded at twenty seven degrees of Sagittarius – whose image is “an ancient bridge” – quintiles Jupiter (ancient bridge – retrieving in our own personal lives and then in the collective life as well, that irresistible eloquence of bridging back to beauty to bring it forward!) So we are invited to reflect on the journey of our lives – Jupiter is life viewed as a journey of sequential unfoldment – it’s not pick one thing and do it forever, it’s we do this and that becomes that, and that becomes that, and that becomes that …all the time.

Jupiter has a one hundred fifty degree angle to Neptune (this caravan of dreams that we’re on, going oh!) Saturn is at twenty seven degrees Sagittarius, exactly squaring the Venus emerging from the underworld as the morning star at twenty seven Pisces whose image is, “A fertile garden under a full moon the strangely alive” we go, ooh! Mars is at twenty seven Taurus “a mature woman reawakens to romance” is it’s Sabian Symbol. We have Saturn at twenty seven degrees, Venus at twenty seven degrees, Mars at twenty seven degrees and so there’s a wonderful pattern there.
