Astrology Sept 4th 2018. Under the Covers.
The Moon has moved into Cancer and is currently opposing stationing Saturn in Capricorn and aspecting Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.
You might feel like staying under the covers for the next few hours…..
Fears are being confronted and comfort zones challenged.
By early afternoon things will settle down a little but with the Moon waning to the New Moon on the 9th and Saturn stationing to turn direct on the 6th you might be finding it difficult to move forward.
Later today Mercury moves to the last degree of Leo and really asks us to turn our perceptions to the themes of the last few Eclipses, especially as he passes over the point of the Great American Eclipse of August 21st, 2017.
Mercury is the messenger and how ironic that we have the live Senate hearing going on (for Supreme Court confirmation) where records have been withheld and the Sabian symbol for that last degree of Leo is:
AN UNSEALED LETTER.
KEYNOTE: The realization by the individual that all thoughts and all messages are inevitably to be shared with all men.
Coming as it does as the end of this tenth scene and linked with the last degree of the zodiacal sign, Leo, this symbol seems at first quite puzzling; when it has been thought of as an isolated symbol, its essential meaning has not been apparent. The fact that a letter is unsealed does not imply a trust that other people will not read its contents, but rather the idea that the contents are for all men to read. The letter contains a public message in the sense that when man has reached the stage of true mental repolarization and development — which we see in the very first symbol for Leo — he has actually become a participant in the One Mind of humanity. Nothing can really be hidden, except superficially and for a brief time. What any man thinks and deeply realizes becomes the property of all men. Nothing is more senseless than possessiveness in the realm of ideas. If God speaks to a man, Man hears the word. Nothing can remain permanently “sealed.”
Communication and SHARING must always prevail over the will to glorify oneself by claiming sole possession of ideas and information.
Make of that what you will but it seems very relevant today.
On a personal level, this seems to be a message around the connectedness of our minds and hearts once we open our hearts.
This symbol comes after the symbol for that great total Eclipse which is, as a reminder:
A MERMAID EMERGES FROM THE OCEAN WAVES READY FOR REBIRTH IN HUMAN FORM.
KEYNOTE: The stage at which an intense feeling-intuition rising from the unconscious is about to take form as a conscious thought.
The mermaid personifies a stage of awareness still partially enveloped by the ever-moving and ever-elusive ocean of the collective Unconscious, yet already half formulated by the conscious mind. Any creative thinker or artist knows well the peculiar mixture of elation and anxiety characterizing such a stage. Will the intuitive feeling fade away reabsorbed into the unconscious, or will the inexpressible realization acquire the concreteness and expressible form of a concept or a definite motif in an art form?
This fourth symbol in the thirtieth five-fold sequence suggests that the fire of desire for concrete and steady form burns at the root of all techniques of self-expression. An unconscious energy archetype is reaching toward consciousness through the creator, as cosmic Love seeks tangible manifestation through human lovers. The whole pre-human universe reaches eagerly to the human stage of clear and steady consciousness. It is this great evolutionary urge, this elan vital, which is implied in this symbol of the mermaid seeking human incarnation — the YEARNING FOR CONSCIOUS FORM AND SOLIDITY.
This also leads us into a deeply spiritual and potentially healing New Moon. To hear more about this you can listen in to the latest episode of the Weirdly Magical podcast with Jen Duchene and I. Click here for this.
And….. I have a consultation this morning but I may just snuggle under a blanket this afternoon and journal about all this ❤
How about you?
Much love
