there’s a rare alignment of venus, saturn and the north node in scorpio this week. the saturn/north node conjunction is the aspect that is rare and then venus just joins in for the fun ;) the last time saturn and the north node conjoined in scorpio was in 1956, and in general saturn aligns with the north node every 10-13 years (in various signs). this makes this super rare and the scorpio parts of our charts are undergoing the initiation of a HUGE new cycle. with venus involved it is likely involving relationships, finances and our values as well. (for more info on your sign check the weekly horoscopes).
on monday the 16th saturn cojoins the north node and on wednesday venus cojoins saturn and then the north node- so for the first part of this week we have this heavy, karmic and dharmic influence in the skies. karma refers to consequences of past actions taken, while dharma refers to right action and right livelihood. both saturn and the north node point to where our Soul’s growth is and it’s not the easy growth or even the fun, sweet growth- it’s the growth that pushes us to our edge and pushes us out of the nest, and we end up learning how to fly falling down. relationships, agreements, and sexual/financial situations are all up for review right now. we need to be VERY CAREFUL of the seeds we sow this week and month as they surely will reap something for us down the road. it’s a great week to get clear, discerning and focused- and then take conscious action to follow the intentions we say we are going after (it’s one thing to say it, but another thing to DO IT).
in addition to this potent alignment we have pluto and ceres getting in on the action- as the venus/saturn/north node conjunction sextiles both of them and pluto and ceres trine each other exact on monday. pluto/ceres is about major transformation, regeneration and/or death and rebirth of home/family situations, our sense of safety, security and nourishment- and also, and most importantly, to our MOTHER EARTH. if you are aware of what is going on in the world right now we have a series of very intense natural disasters and/or crises building. fukushima, the death of bee colonies, the crazy floods in colorado, the intense fires in northern california- just to name a few. i personally think Mother Earth is trying to get our attention. we can either pay attention or we can be whacked up the side of the head and woken up- it is up to us. the way we live is not sustainable and the way we deplete the earth and use her as a garbage can is disgusting, not to mention stupid. everyone has this dynamic astrology playing out somewhere in their charts, impacting the personal level of life. but it is also impact the collective- which we are all a part of.
seeing the shadow in our culture of materialism and consumerism, and in our mentality to shove-it-under-the-rug and maybe it will go away is really important right now. we cannot heal what we cannot feel- so in order to heal the earth (and our bodies) we need to FEEL into the shadow and really see and understand what is going on out there. of course we don’t want to get stuck there otherwise we will just be pissed off or incredibly sad. we need to move beyond that step and then DO SOMETHING. take conscious action that follows our intentions so that we are not just SAYING we want change, but we BECOMING THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
this is a great way to get aligned, realign and/or get more focused- on our growth, the world’s growth and the Universe’s growth. we are all growing and learning, shifting and changing. we are all in this boat together- so why don’t we start acting like it!
a new cycle is seeding…what are you going to contribute to it?
blessings…
