Mercury, within the next day, lines up with the dwarf planet Orcus (the other Pluto) in Virgo. Since, Orcus maintains oversight on those who fail to fulfill oaths and vows and given that Mercury is all about words spoken and written (no telling what is thought), this holds extra importance. Choose words well. Ensure all words reflect not only the clarity you intend to communicate, but the emotional tone beneath it all. Precision in verbosity is the name of game for Mercury in a sign that is considered part of the messenger’s rulership domain. Be concise with what your consciousness intends to communicate. Denotation vs. connotation. Use of words for purposes of truth instead of chicanery. That sort of proper connection between brain and expression, whether spoken, gestured or written.
But even before that, as in today, the Sun, south node, Chiminigagua pretty much conjoin in Virgo. According to lore, before Chiminigagua, only darkness existed. He brought the spark of Creation (Big Bang?) and light. Joined by the Sun and south node the combined message reports: regardless of the past and those things in it that stir regret and remorse, focus on the fact that today is the brilliant dawning of a new day - no matter what - all things considered - the unnecessary upheavals in progress, be the one who as the I-Ching directs: “Be not sad, be like the Sun at midday.” Shine on! Throw no shade.
In matters galactic, also tomorrow, the Sun sextiles Jupiter in Cancer, who now moves into an opposition with the anomalistic black hole system, SS433 in Capricorn. Since Jupiter exaggerates everything he contacts, an opposition to SS433 is no exception. Thus, the big planet guy in the sky promotes all things SS433: mavericks, unconventional thinking (especially polarizing thoughts), those who shoot from the hip and whose every word comes off like a cosmic belch. And every word and action receives supercharging when conveying mavericky ideas. Sure, why not; conspiracy theories receive embellishment and exaggeration too. The good news is, with Jupiter blowing up everything he contacts into mural size, the intricacies, sorted details and any potential flaws and the facts of any theory receive a larger look. This is a good thing. It’s hard to know whose or which side Jupiter may be on. He is an equal opportunity embellisher, impacting and amplifying all conceptual matters that flag his attention.
Thursday-ish to Friday-ish, depending upon your geographic whereabouts and your time zone, Mercury hooks up with the south node and Chiminigagua. Here, the articulation of light, brilliance, optimism, encouragement and all good things must be stated via critical thought and discernment applied, however sans judgment. Mercury catches the Sun on Saturday, stirring all people to state impeccable truths of personal assets, attributes and aspirations. When you state what your solar identity wants to do... what you must do to fulfill your perception of your karma... include the intention behind it, then detail your capabilities for the tasks at hand, should they not be evident. With that, clarity accompanies articulation and greatly increases receptivity on the part of others.
Speaking of others, all this transit prep work seeks to support Mars in Libra as he opposes Eris (Monday, 8 September) and Chiron (Tuesday, 9 September) in Aries. Mars, ruler of Aries (Ares) maintains a special relationship with Eris as she often selected Ares to be her “plus one” at events to which she was not invited. Then, when the discovery that they are not on the list occurs, theoretically justification is in place for any action, no matter how extreme or severe. Watch the news early next week. Notice how news makers make the extra effort to rationalize any action taken. Everything has a cause within its substrate, the real question is: does this promote light, the awareness of brilliance, and establish inclusion as the best healing modality in town for the cosmic convention in play?
Mars opposite Eris and Chiron seeks to invest energy into healing all circumstances in which a person felt slighted, shunned, excluded or ignored. While in Libra, he will resort to any action he deems necessary to level the playing field. After all, that’s only fair. While Libra presumably loves peace, Mars is familiar with and comfortable in combative situations. Likely he will assume least resistance paths during this transit. Should you find yourself blurting out things that simply don’t sound like you, get your blurt done (remember gaseous Jupiter opposing a highly gaseous black hole system is belching support for life). When done, and after whatever reassessment of how that went, then you can restore calm, grace and fairness with a declaration of your purest intention. Do realize though, that those on the receiving end of whatever martial activity you put forth are not likely to instantly move on and put this incident in the forgotten past, especially if they felt any push back during your tirade.
Still, the objective of Mars in Libra to Eris and Chiron in Aries is to get back any lost ground you believe you involuntarily ceded, and to do so in a manner that escalates no tension (sorry Jupiter), causes no additional hard feelings, and inspires no unnecessary and fatiguing discourse. This point comes back to all the Virgo currently in play. If vexatious, remember the Virgoan agenda seeks impeccability in messaging so the life can be gotten on in the best way possible. It’s as simple as that.
More soon.
And within that more, wouldn't you know it? Astronomers named four Trans-Neptunian Objects this past week: Goibniu, Rumina, Uni and Xewioso. Those who participated in the KBGASP course or those who ordered the Galactic Trilogy have all the latest hot data already. More on these KBOs in the next SkyScraping.
With all that Virgo out there, it may be difficult to decide upon a specific consultation or galactic information option. That’s where e-mail comes in... fire off a message, state your need, your time to fulfill that need and I’ll reply with I see as the best option I can offer. Then we can get you on the books, or send out ordered materials. Consultations, Galactic Reports, Classes, Question Asking Options are all available using the links below to get all matters sorted in the best way possible!
