In my last Wizard Weekly I zoomed in on the large number of aspects and events featuring the Aries Mystery School, urging us to revision what we think we know about Aries. This theme continues through this week and even beyond.
The Aries New Moon of Friday, April 17, at 27Aries29, is now behind us, as well as the Sun-Chiron conjunction of April 16 at 26Aries38. The energies of the Chiron-Eris conjunctions are still very much with us, reminding us of their last alignment in 1971 when the previous financial and economic reset happened.
It is important to highlight the other main cosmic theme: the Moon-Venus conjunction, opening the third ascending gate of Venus’ Pisces Overstory on Sunday, April 19, at 24Taurus02. Venus has risen far enough from the Sun now to be visible as dusk is fading into dark, so this can easily be viewed in the evening sky. Noteworthy is the close proximity of the Pleiades, sitting at 29Taurus-0Gemini. Venus, herself aligns with the Pleiades April 23-24. It is interesting to speculate how this remarkable signature in the Solar Plexus chakra may contribute to, or even help mitigate, the potential great challenges and dangers of the Aries alignments.
On The Aries Agenda Now
The focus now shifts to an earlier portion of Aries. Lets look at the string of events:
Mars Conjunct Neptune
This alignment was exact back on April 12-13 at 2Aries39, with both planets presently still being quite close to each other. This can infer the confusions and deceptions related to the “fog of war”, as well as the attempt of Neptune to contribute some compassion, empathy and spirituality to Mars.
Mars Conjunct Saturn
Today, Sunday, April 19, 3:44PM PDT, 7Aries51
If the old classical meanings assigned to these celestial beings as being the primary “malefics” holds sway, this is an ominous portent.
Mercury Conjunct Saturn
Monday, April 20, 4:22AM PDT, 7Aries55
Mercury Conjunct Mars
Monday, April 20, 2:45PM PDT, 8Aries36
Mercury, in a Pisces Overstory, is now descending into the external underworld to soon be in the role of Guardian of the Threshold and Pyschopomp for Souls desiring to enter the underworld, otherworlds, or upper world. I am imagining Mercury, as messenger and teacher, intending to transmit the values of compassion and empathy to Mars and Saturn.
Mercury-Mars-Saturn Alignment
From Sunday to mid-week, Mercury, Mars and Saturn (as well as a not visible Neptune) are aligned in a string at dawn. In the dawn’s glare, all are quite dim and difficult to see. Making this particular Mars apparition especially tricky, is that during the current synodic cycle he is quite far from the Earth and Sun. Even Mercury is brighter at -0.09 magnitude, while Mars is +1.23 and Saturn 0.93.
As Shamanic Astrologers, part of our job is to imagine the most positive and life-affirming outcomes. It can be really powerful and important to look for this alignment, and even if you don’t clearly see it, envision helping Mercury getting the message through to Mars and Saturn (also aided by Neptune)!
Just Round The Corner
Soon to come the following week is the ingress of Uranus into Gemini and the square of Sun to Pluto, followed closely by Mars’ alignments with Eris and Chiron! Mars conjuncts Chiron at 28Aries24 on May 16.
Revisioning Aries
Right now, especially when considering the role of the Moon-Venus third chakra Solar Plexus ascending Venus gate/portal, several possibilities emerge. Through an empowered conscious willing, aided by the Pleiadian alignment, we can strongly intend a bold new way for Mars and Aries, with universal and unconditional love values. On the other hand, if the old ways of Aries and Mars refuse to release their grip, then the power and strength of the Solar Plexus will just increase the aggression and blood lust of the old Mars, devoid of moral and ethical values and without any legitimate and life-supporting boundaries.
For global Humanity to have any chance to enter a more loving, compassionate, spiritual, and human epoch, the old patriarchal Aries and Mars descriptions are in such great need of revision. It is truly time to retire the classical understanding of Mars (and Saturn). This I discussed last week. War, domination, blood-feuds, and needing to win are relics of the Kali Yuga and, one way or another, will be composted. I pray for the most compassionate way, with least possible suffering.
Just as there are some Christians who take the Bible totally literally, entirely disregarding the historical time periods and the politics that have been involved, the same situation exists in astrology. The classical meanings of signs and planets in astrology emanate from a specific time in history, specific locations, and with known and unknown political and economic prejudices and objectives.
As we find ourselves at this Great Turning of The Ages, TOTAMS is open and willing to challenge the old “fundamentalisms” of classical and most often dualistic and patriarchal meanings. Consider joining us as we are Calling In The 12 Tribes, The 12 Mystery Schools of Life, and be part of this radical revisioning process, contributing to a veritable Renaissance and Rebirth of Global Humanity.
