Astrology Blast: May 22, 2024
Yearning to be at a higher and deeper level, beyond information, to understanding, maturity, and duty
If you read yesterday’s blast, let me ask you - is the world giving you clues of what your next sacred responsibility might be?
This will continue to intensify and show you what there is to see in the coming days.
This is particularly potent with the energy of:
Moon rising towards full
Transits over Jupiter and Uranus
Jupiter is in the “anaretic (last) degree” of Taurus today and until the 25th when it transits into Gemini. In the anaretic degree of any sign, a planet begins taking on the characteristics of the next sign. Jupiter is leaving Taurus and taking on the energies of Gemini.
Jupiter in Gemini is…
Knowledge beyond information, but knowledge and discernment over wisdom.
Gemini is smart and quick, but lacks wisdom.
it’s important to be discerning.
Not all information is knowledge. A lot of information is noise.
Jupiter in Gemini can be strong-minded and generous or “too much” if we’re not as wise as we could be.
Mercury’s north node is within a degree of Jupiter…
This pressurizes the need to make your vision a reality, and it’s at the same time that Venus transits Jupiter too…
Venus and Mercury’s north node transit Jupiter at 29°23’ Taurus…
even more than making your vision a reality, Venus makes it about getting your life’s mission on track.
Mars is moving away from the lunar north node, which has transited the sun, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Mercury over the last 8 months, and it’s within orb (about 5°) to the coming transit with Chiron on the 29th.
It’s like a push through the learning at the end of the lesson.
“Mars transit Chiron” calls forth our habit to scapegoat, victimize, blame, project, and martyr oneself.
It’s in the 23rd degree of Aries, it’s more about the “scapegoat” (projecting suffering onto others) than about “martyrdom” (introjection of others pain).
If we’re taking responsibility for our mature identity and our spiritual duty, we will be given opportunities to step up into more leadership roles.
In Summary
The moon shows the way, and on its way towards “full”, it carries the energy of “yearning”.
Mars’ position between the lunar north node and Chiron implies that it’s not just about seeing the dream of our growth, but also stepping to the duty of our destiny.
The wisdom of Jupiter in Gemini shows up as understanding, and it’s an opportunity to understand that whatever we do is our life’s work right now.
Chiron’s growth edge is maturity. Mythologically, using his keen clarity (whether as hunter, teacher, musician, or astrologer) to see that the real opportunity in his poisoned misery is in setting others free.
The more we accept our “sacred duty”, as reflected by our responsibility to maturity shown by accepting right-fit leadership roles that we recognize/know is our sacred duty, the easier it is to maintain our boundaries and transcend the noise.
Happy Wednesday,
