The Galactic Times
Ceres Underscoring ~ 30 October 2009
So Saturn's in Libra, eh? Feel it yet? Truly it might be hard to see/
feel/taste/hear/sniff out the shift until after some of the edge of
the upcoming Saturn square to Pluto on November 15th eases. We're now
just sampling the first sensorial reactions of the complex pattern of
Saturn-Uranus-Pluto and Jupiter to unfold throughout the remainder of
this year and the next. It's too bad that the start of these patterns
coincides with the Hollywood release of the film, 2012. There's
already enough grim forecasts written for this patterning. You know,
as if we can make it to 20Y2K12 given Saturn-Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter.
Regardless what kind of difficulty exists in the patterns above, there
are multiple points of view and always mitigating patterns. For
instance, what if we step back and take a look at the solar system at
large? Should we take a gander at the goings on from the Sun's point
of view (heliocentric), we notice that Saturn does not actually enter
Libra until February 11th of next year. Of course, that means Saturn
still clears the life's logjam details of Virgo until then. It does
seem that the heliocentric patterns imply the meaning extracted from
mundane events, instead of forecasting specific events. It makes sense
that while the "out there in life" reaction patterns now shift and
swirl about, the processing applied to new results received continue
to fall under the processing microscope of Virgo for slightly more
than a hundred more days. No worries! Jupiter will soon be in Pisces.
That's right, from the Sun's point of view Jupiter enters Pisces on
November 11th, hopefully inspiring compassion, understanding and
sensitivity to be applied to all - including both the friends and foes
on your social networks and in real life, too.
Stepping back to the more traditional astrological geocentric view, we
observe the recently revealed breadth of Saturn converging upon the
Super Galactic Center (2 Libra plus or minus). This indicates the need
for soul mating on a mass level. That's not something that can be
accomplished on a social networking site or match site, no matter how
cosmic the site claims to be. It's not about finding the completely
compatible someone with whom one can share here and forever after.
This process is something that occurs when the raw consciousness of
each person on the planet meets with their spirit, aligns with that
spirit and merges with that spirit. Back in the olden days way before
HDTV, cable and satellite, the character images appearing on our
television sets often walked about with blurry ghosted secondary
images not fully infused with the true image. You could tweak those
rabbit ears all you wanted without correcting the bleed off image.
Perhaps a subservient sort would hold the antennae all the way through
your favorite show, helping some in producing clarity. Even applying a
liberal amount of crushed aluminum foil on the rabbit ears or wrapped
around a cumbersome device on a roof top did not provide clear
illumination of the protagonists.
It's like that now with Saturn taking Simon-sez baby steps into a new
sign. It's time to take that ghosting image and merge it back with the
protagonist of life - that would be you. Soul mating restores power,
regenerates dedication to dharma and pushes forward in the direction
of perceived and intended evolution.
Today the Sun stands firm with Ceres in Scorpio. This conjunction
offers up an interesting combo because of Scorpio's rulership over
Pluto who abducted Ceres' daughter into the underworld. Here Ceres in
Scorpio receives the brilliant illumination of the Sun and all
motives, agendas, tactics, plans, ploys, pursuits and purposes have
the potential to become impeccably clear. Maybe even the point of the
most personal inner balance implied by Saturn in Libra can be
illuminated.
A series of suggestions squeeze out in between the Sun and Ceres in
Scorpio. Consider:
Negotiate with yourself to release your psyche from all those impeding
inherited, assumed or learned rules and structures that defy the best
interest of your spirit.
Moving forward with what's best for your core likely requires
summoning the most valiant parts of your being and may result in a
simmer of sensitivity.
Recognize all reactions and emotions as real and valid, doing your
dangdest not to judge the quality of reaction... like good or bad.
Give them the space to be. Clear them by riding them out (solitary as
in Scorpio often works best for this part) to see if there's a rainbow
following the storm. Sort through the aftermath, putting on your best
cap of consciousness and select a course of action to right the ship
that no doubt has its GPS set on the high road. Ceres was known as a
bitch on wheels, hell bent on revenge when she felt wronged. And she
was willing to annihilate herself in the interest of getting back at
those bastards. So it's usually better to reach the clear state before
calling in to state your view on talk radio, post a comment online or
take on city hall. With Ceres you can take on and defeat city hall if
your position is meritorious... if that's not too large an if.
Harvest the best of your personal creativity. Cultivate discernment
for the how, why and when of putting your cornucopia of consciousness
out there for the world to see.
Ceres is a planet now. There's another curious thing about Ceres, too.
If one considers the ratio of her density to her relative gravity and
of her density to her diameter, Ceres trumps all the other planets
substantially in the magnitude of these measures. Density is how
tightly packed a body happens to be. Symbolically density refers to
intensity, intention and focus applied. Gravity represents an object's
ability to attract. Diameter refers to the breadth of an object and
its physical reach. Though small and a difficult mythic signature to
integrate, Ceres is a player. Most important in the process, the
goddess of grain reminds us all never to go against our grain.
Two aside notes here. This past week both Mercury and Venus bracketed
the dwarf planet Haumea on the day Hawaii received sanction to
commence farming tuna. The tuna farms will conduct breeding in
fisheries then release the stock in special areas of the sea to
replace the hugely over-fished species. In Hawaiian lore, Haumea
carried a stick from the Makalei tree, which when placed in the water,
attracted fish. Thus, she was seen as a goddess of endless abundance.
Given Mercury is involved, if we can keep the mercury out of these
farmed fish, this might be quite the ticket for those fancying the
Venusian taste for high quality sushi.
In the interest of looking ahead such that shifts in consciousness
that might overturn the way life is conducted do not sneak up on a
body, here's something to ponder. Next year and into 2011, as Jupiter
barrels through Pisces and Aries, every person alive on earth will
receive the first transiting Jupiter conjunction to Eris since her
discovery. Jupiter and the goddess of discord, Eris, once collaborated
to make the Sun rise in the west for one day to right political
injustices. On a personal level, this cooperative effort might just
contain the juice necessary to set life right... at least for the
twelve years or so until the next such opportunity. So get ready. This
might be a brass ring. More on this as the transits get closer. This
is just a "what if" you could overturn the momentum of your life into
something more ideal... what would that look like?
