Merkaba and the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction

Merkaba a powerful manifesting opportunity and the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction….

On December 21st Saturn and Jupiter will meet each other in the sky for a conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius.

The relationship between Saturn and Jupiter in our charts tell us about our approach and contribution to work and career. In a business chart, the two together outline the business’s approach and purpose. In mundane astrology (the astrology in the sky at the moment) it tells us about economics. Since Saturn is structure and restriction and Jupiter is expansion and optimism, the two work together for measured growth, balancing each other. Where Jupiter says “let’s do this amazing idea”, Saturn says “yes, but have you thought about this, this and that”?

Saturn and Jupiter’s relationship to each other is approximately a 20-year relationship and so every 20 years they come back to meet each other and they start a new cycle.

They also have a larger cycle. Saturn and Jupiter make a conjunction every 20 years in the same element for approximately a 200 year period. They then change elements. A complete cycle of all elements takes approx 800 years (200 years in earth, then air, then fire, and finally water). The conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on December 21, 2020, is a convergence into a new element. Saturn and Jupiter have been in an earth cycle, conjuncting in Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo for the last 200 yrs. They will now move into a 200-year cycle in air – Aquarius, Gemini and Libra. In 1980/81, it slipped into the first conjunction in air in the sign of Libra. It then went back to earth in Taurus in 2000 and now will be permanently in air for the next 200 years.

From the year 1226-1425, they occurred in air signs, 1425-1603 in water, 1603-1802 in fire, and from 1802 to 2000 in earth.

There is music and artistry in the cycles of the planets. As the planets orbit one another they create patterns… a sacred geometry. The cycles of Saturn and Jupiter form the sacred geometry of a triangle in the sky as they move within one element over a period of 60 years. Over a 400 year period as Saturn and Jupiter move from one element to the next, they move from a masculine element to a feminine element and two triangles balance each other out and formed the shape of a hexagram. The hexagram is a powerful pattern uniting matter and spirit – it is called the Merkabam (“Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body.). It is also called the star tetrahedron, Metatron’s cube, the Star of David, Seal of Soloman… many understood the power of the two triangles working together and so they show up across cultures with different names.

“ The tetrahedron or pyramid – the three-dimensional form of the two-dimensional triangle, which is basic to the Saturn-Jupiter cycle – corresponds to fire and stands for human aspiration towards higher consciousness. In occult circles the three points of the triangle are related to perception, knowledge and higher understanding, and seen as corresponding to our two physical eyes and the intuitive third eye above them.” Phoebe Wyss

In the last Saturn Jupiter cycle, the earth element came in to establish a material reality – business, money, banking, work, etc. On December 21st the cycle moves to air and will come in to establish an intellectual, balanced and humanitarian (through Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) spirit reality.
So how can we work with this conjunction? It represents a portal (and I do not use that word lightly) for powerful consciousness-raising and manifestation for both the individual and for humanity.

Nicola Tesla said, “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” ~ Nikola Tesla. Tesla held a great deal of ceremony and invention using these numbers. He believed the pyramids of Giza located at the 30 parallel – one of the most famous triangles/tetrahedron in the world, were built to harness the power. He said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
There are lots of cool documentaries on the workings of Tesla. They are fascinating and totally beyond my understanding. But they provide a compelling case for the power of the triangle. To understand the math and the power of the triangle and 3,6,9, here is a good video https://youtu.be/OXbVZc10lnk
The great conjunction happens on December (12th month = 3) on the 21st (2 + 1 = 3). The day and the month together = 6. The degree of the conjunction is 0 Degrees (Aquarius) bringing in the number of the universe (zero or 9), making this conjunction a powerful spirit activation.

Many are feeling the shift upon us and are worried about misuse of power – the loss of individuality, loss of autonomy, and loss of freedom are potential misuses of the power of Aquarius. So are revolutions. But the power of Aquarius is in love peace and compassion. Its power is in community, groups, and friendships. I would suggest getting together with others with common interests to help manifest the power of Merkabam. (If you are in lockdown, find a way – connect via zoom and have a backup plan for if there’s no internet).

How do you want to see the use of computers, artificial intelligence, innovations, electricity or electric waves (some are healthy and healing and others no so much)? What breakthroughs do you want to see? What do you want from the media? What do you want for humanity? Human rights? All of these areas are ruled by Aquarius. Dream big! Dream outside the box! Aquarius is also our hopes and dreams!…. Dream what you want in fine detail…. And then bring in a ceremony to help you harness its power.

Create a ceremony that encompasses Tesla’s ideas… energy frequency, and vibration – use tuning forks and singing bowls. Join a sound bath. Meditated with the use of the OM, play your instruments. Connect with others on the soul level and energetically and set your intentions – you do not even need to be in the same room… use the power of entrainment to raise consciousness and bring about all that we desire.

 

Horoscope: May 27 – June 2, 2019

May 27 – June 2

Money is the root of all Love

What to expect: Shifts in what matters
What to watch out for: Changes in money and love
What will it affect? Money, Relationships, values

On May 28th, the Sun will oppose Ceres. Ceres has been retrograde in Sagittarius making us question our beliefs around nurturing. Ceres brings up themes around children, food and the cycles of life and death, planting and harvesting. As these two oppose we think about these topics further. We go deeper into our beliefs around abortion, climate change, overpopulation, overuse and the impact of all of these.

Neptune will also trine Juno. Neptune is said to be the highest octave of Venus though mostly associated with love, is also associated with money. Juno also associated with love – the sustained partnership variety AND is also associated with money. The Goddess Juno Moneta was protectress of the mint! With these two making a trine, relationship are elevated to a higher spiritual level. And this also means that money matters can also be elevated to a higher level.

As Juno in cancer comes to oppose Saturn and conjunct the North node on May 30th, we see a major shift in how money is minted. In truth it’s been happening for a while. With app’s now being released to allow for easier day to day purchase, it seems likely that we may see a surge this week with the use of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurreny embodies a Neptunian concept of money. Many find it hard to grasp. It is structured and lives on the internet and servers. In truth, so does the money we currently use day to day. On the occasion we use it’s traditional paper form, but mostly we transact in a online world. What’s  different is that while banks are centrally controlled, cryptocurrency is not. The large banks are represented at the south node with Saturn in Capricorn. They have been experiencing threats to the centralized banking system by this decentralized technology.

Truth, Lies and Confusion

What to expect: confusion
What to watch out for: mistruths
What will it affect? Thinking, Reasoning, Communication

On May 29th Mercury will square Neptune. This is a red flag for all typed of communication, including business communication. Mercury is in Gemini and square to Neptune in Pisces. Both are in mutable signs which increase the likelihood of changeability. Falsehoods may be deliberate, but more likely things will change so fast that something that was once true will now be false. Minds can change and words can be bent. On May 30th Mercury will also oppose Jupiter increasing the likely hood of overconfidence. Sh!t-talk, hogwash, verbal diarrhea, talking a mile-a-min and brain-farts may all be possible. Check in with your intuition for the truth and make sure to check yourself for what may be coming out of your mouth too!

Why? Mercury Square Neptune, Mercury Opposition Jupiter

Money matters

What to expect: Changing Structures
What to watch out for: HOlding on the old structures
What will it affect?Strategy, Money, The status Quo

On May 31st the sun will trine Pallas and that helps us to see the big picture. Pallas is all about feminine strategy making this a good time to figure out plans and goals. Venus is in Taurus were it feels at home. This gives it some strength. She makes a sextile to the north node and juno and a trine to Saturn and Pluto. This helps with being practical in money matters but also helps us to redirect our resources. We no long feel tied to the old structures and are open to new financial and money relationships. There is likely to be huge transformations around our financial agreements especially as we get closer to Venus trining Pluto exactly on June 2nd.

Why? Sun Trine Pallas, Venus Sextile North Node, Venus Trine Saturn, Venus Sextile Juno, Mars Square Pallas, Venus Trine Pluto

Horoscope: May 20 – 26, 2019

May 20 – 26

What needs to change?

What to expect: the need to let go
What to watch out for: Holding on to the old
What will it affect? Governments, business, new ideas, communication

The Nodes are osculating points in the sky where the orbit of the moon crosses the ecliptic. They are dichotomous points at the north and southern hemisphere. In astrology the South Node and North Node represent the evolutionary path for us here on earth. The North Node pointing to the direction that is at this moment right for us to pursue. The south node represents the past – the people, project and habits that must be released. The release does not necessarily mean that those things at the south node are bad, but that they are outworn, outdated and overdone. In allowing them to become overdone, we’ve created a karmic pathology that needs correcting and rebalancing. Planets that connect with the nodes give us a chance to do that course correcting. This week it’s Saturn at the south node currently in Capricorn. Capricorn is about big business, government, ambitions and achievements and quite frankly the patriarchy. This week is an opportunity to let go of those things that no longer work within those structures. This is not an easy thing, but Saturn is currently in its home sign and when the moon joins up with this combination on May 22nd our emotions get involved. Something has got to give! The North node is calling us to nurture, love, support and protect. While the south node in Capricorn may feel that protection looks a little different. It wants to hold on to and protect old structures; the North node is the clan mother who is making sure protection means protection for all.

The Sun and Mercury will enter Gemini on May 21st and make a conjunction. This is a good time to talk things out. Communication will be paramount. We’ll have an opportunity to express our thinking, negotiate contracts, and discuss topics. Our curiosity is insatiable. As we allow ourselves to brainstorm and generate as many options as possible we move us closer to breakthroughs. On May 22nd Mars will sextile Uranus and innovative thinking and breakthroughs are possible.

Working through the pain

What to expect: Opportunity for healing
What to watch out for: spiritual bypass
What will it affect? Communication, healing, need for control

On May 23rd Mercury will sextile Chirons and we can make a connection with our wounds to talk about them in productive ways. This is a great time for journaling, meditation, and connecting with our inner self to sooth and reaffirm. The problem will be that Mars is also making a square to Chiron and this bring in the temptation to deal with things quickly with the likelihood of some spiritual bypass. The danger is that we want to get through our pain in a hurry and are a little uncomfortable with the feelings that come up. The best way to deal with this energy is to slow down and ‘enjoy’ the path. There is no shortcut to forgiveness! You can’t get to forgiveness without going through the spectrum of emotions – anger, blame, sadness and acceptance.

On May 23rd Pluto is also square to Vesta which brings out an extremely manipulative energy. Pluto in a square to Vesta brings out the negative side of both energies. Pluto wants to control, manipulate, and can be vindictive. The negative side of Vesta, the sacred flame in a fire sign is a strong commitment to independence and personal autonomy. When these two square off, extreme power struggles are the result. As you allow yourself to feel all the emotions, you may feel a need to lash out. Go in your garage and through plates at the wall. In other words, try working through the emotions in a safe environment. Another time will come for action. One where you are not putting yourself in danger, even if it’s only emotional danger.

Why? Mercury Sextile Chiron, Mars Square Chiron, Pluto Square Vesta

Breakdown to breakthrough

What to expect: Strong debate
What to watch out for: High emotion
What will it affect? Food, children, life and death, our personal wounds

On May 24th Mercury is opposite Ceres and this brings us deeper into conversations about the cycles of life. Mercury is in Gemini where it loves to talk, have conversations, discuss topics and news. Ceres, the dwarf planet responsible for the cycle of life, currently in Sagittarius is taking us deep into our beliefs around motherhood, children, food and nurturance, life and death. Topics include climate change and affects on our food supply, children and abortion, Sagittarius can be dogmatic when challenged and this is exactly what Mercury in Gemini does. Expect heated discussions and remember to manage your own emotions. The good news is on May 25th Mercury will trine Pallas. Pallas is in Libra and is helping us to see all sides and to envision balance. The two work together to help develop strategy around bringing things into balance. In addition on May 26th the Sun in Gemini will sextile Chiron and will help us to continue our spiritual and healing work.

I strongly believe that those we are emotionally and spiritual evolved are better able to handle these energy. If you can focus on increasing your emotional intelligence through doing your inner work, you’ll be better able to handle these energies and effect the world from a stronger place.
