This month’s short piece that I wrote about the Venus/Pluto myth working its way through the skies gives us a rare glimpse of how “collective” patterns as represented by Uranus, Pluto and Neptune can trigger off major political events worldwide.
The reason that I think that this is a key time in our history is because not only do we have the above Venus/Pluto story but we also have Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron coming together for the first time since 1946/7. They were in Libra then, the sign of balance, justice and harmony. It was a period of licking our wounds and attempting to reshape a broken and beaten up world – I wonder what the relevance will be this time around?
So, if we put the energies of these three slow moving planets together – at the end of Aquarius, by the way – we can begin to see something much bigger beginning to emerge as a possible scenario. Jupiter is the great exaggerator – he magnifies and enlarges whatever other planet he touches; Neptune rules religious beliefs; and Chiron, the Cosmic Shaman, is so new to our astrological palette, that there are a number of different possible interpretations of its behaviour and effects.
Anyway, linking the inflation of Jupiter with the imagination and religion of Neptune and Chiron’s drive to heal all in his own maverick manner – we can easily see something beginning to be played out here. The conjunction this time is in humanitarian Aquarius – the sign of decency, democracy and social equality. Let’s just hope it brings a swelling of humanitarian hearts and enables the powers that be to respond in a manner that leaves us all feeling somewhat better about life.
