The waning weeks of 2014 are upon us. It is time to look forward to the transits of 2015 and beyond. How about some astrological shoring to support the goals and aspirations for this year and next? The 30-min consultation - and at a discounted rate special - is still available. Or you can book a full session for more comprehensive planning. Quick questions can be asked and answered by e-mail. The Galactic Report - with amazing centaurs and black holes - enhances personal insights, and for those wanting to step into galactic study, there’s the Galactic Trilogy CD. Follow the links at the end of this post and get scheduling what best supports your personal look ahead.
Clearly it is time to look ahead. The innovative film pioneer, Orson Welles, will release a new film in 2015. Orson Welles!? Isn’t he...? Indeed! During the Saturn return that marked his departure from the Earth-plane, it was announced that footage he directed many years ago will be edited and his unfinished film, The Other Side of Wind, will be released next year.
If you’re thinking you have some metaphysical super-hero graphic novel (comic book) character or concept that will make a brilliant movie and save the world from polluting corporations, climate change or corporate greed, you’ll have to get in a long range planning queue and take a long look ahead. The Comic Alliance recently compiled the projected releases of graphic novel, hero-based movies from Marvel, Fox, Disney, Sony and Warner Brothers. A full slate exists through 2020! That’s planning ahead!
The recent release of the movie Hercules fits in with the longer look implied by transits inching into position. This big budget movie ($100 M USD) has grossed 2.4 times what it cost to produce the film since its release in July. It seems the world and the collective consciousness upon it, yearn for a hero. Certainly the news media is quick to assign such labels to military personnel, police, fire fighters, good Samaritans, organ donors, and uppity grandmothers fighting off would be robbers with a hat pin at ATMs. Could this foreshadow transits ahead?
Indeed. The black hole Her X-1 (the first x-ray source isolated in the constellation Hercules) weighs in at approximately 5 degrees of Sagittarius, to be transited by Saturn late in 2015, with the Saturn station next March, just short of making exact contact. At this point, though, the influence clearly will be in play.
Even the black hole GX339-4 (a.k.a. 3U 1659-48) and its recent x-ray outbursts seem to signal the need to locate insights for longer term cultivation. This black hole demands Saturn’s direct, focused attention three times in 2016, yet the x-rays recently received signal the immediate need for intense scrutiny of, and attention to all subtle insights and whispers in the air... or perhaps cosmic signals lurking on The Other Side of the Wind.
Perhaps some of the next insights and inspirations rolling in require early steps of manifestation early next year as Saturn stations in the constellation Hercules (the sign of Sagittarius), for all intents and purposes aligned with the black hole Her X-1. These manifestation efforts likely reap a yield with the final Saturn transit to the Sagittarian singularity almost exactly one year from now. The promise of that yield adds motivation to the current insights now tracking courtesy of GX339-4 x-ray bursts - insights that create agendas to fill our personal slates for 2016.
So, what solar system transits might actually support heroic panache and Herculean effort for any given individual during 2015?
First, Jupiter in Leo persists into August. Be your best bombastic self. Boldly proclaim what you capable can do and intentionally declare your greatest aspirations. Be advised, though, that next August, with the Sun in Leo, Jupiter enters Virgo. All those things you say you can do, others expect you to step up, engage, and flawlessly perform, leading the pack that follows you to satisfying completed objectives.
Saturn in Sagittarius activates lofty, high-minded causes. Saturn will flit back into Scorpio next June for about three months and that’s a good thing. While traipsing down the high road, taking on progressive, evolutionary campaigns for the planet and its occupants Saturn’s retracing of the last degrees of Scorpio reminds upper consciousness tiered travelers why they decided to embark upon those causes in the first place. This collective review restores the emotion and determined grit that motivated current pursuits in the first place.
Uranus and Pluto, finally and mercifully, end the incessant squaring pattern with each another. However, expect uprisings against plutocratic rule - whether manifesting in economic liabilities for non-plutocrats, social causes or global concerns. The questions that need to be asked during these eras, December 2014 and March 2015, are:
How successful were Uranus-Pluto uprisings in the past conjunction cycles?
How can campaigns for global betterment, whether or a personal or collective level, best be accomplished during:
Jupiter’s quincunx to Pluto in May 2015?
Jupiter’s trine to Uranus in June 2015?
Jupiter’s square to Saturn and sesquiquadrate to Pluto in August 2015?
Jupiter’s sesquiquadrate to Uranus and opposition to Neptune in September 2015?
Jupiter’s trine to Pluto in October of 2015?
Jupiter’s quincunx to Uranus in November of 2015?
All of which prepare us to ask as Saturn in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces late November 2015: Are reality and our dreams working together to manifest the greatest heroic aspirations?
Why ask so many Jupiter questions before interrogating Saturn? Well, he is the largest planet in the solar system. He did arbitrate all disturbances between the other gods, and his rulings, based upon his perceptions of good and fair, stuck. Jupiter remains fond of embellishment, extending to the greatest limit and ballsy pursuits. He simply adores panache.
As 2015 commences we’ll see the subsurface stirring of consciousness. The personal planets, Mercury and Venus, back up the Sun in Capricorn, demanding economic certainty, fulfillment of profit projections and grounded reality in all aspects of real world affairs. Mars joins the New Year celebration in the last third of Aquarius, eyeballing Pisces next ahead in his immediate forecast. Mars points action and attention back toward humanism and the collective good. He restores the concept that we all occupy the blue marble, Earth, and every act by one impacts all. In the early weeks of the year around the next calendar page turns, he and Neptune (exact on January 19) intend to yank on the heartstrings of compassion, hopefully restoring heartfelt perceptions of truly supporting all people, especially and including the downtrodden.
Then, Mars moves on, transiting Chiron in Pisces (exact on January 31st). Maybe after the newly elected, Republican-controlled House and Senate in the United States have their vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act vetoed by the President, a real conversation about taking care of the well being of the people of this country can begin. May such conversations spill over into all urgent and important topics.
Mars to Chiron personally represents the need to extricate any remaining sense of underdoggedness that clouds the perceptions of the psyche. It’s a bit like adopting an attitude that when at the end of an extremely important sporting contest, when it all rests on your shoulders, your efforts triumph, yielding heroic results. At that time, Jupiter in Leo celebrates. And as the year continues, Saturn in Sagittarius suggests that his manifestation rewards will extend to all who pursue life with determination, intrepid vision, courage, integrity, and consistency between beliefs and the way one conducts the business of life.
Looking ahead, creating well-intentioned agendas and pursuing life with unabated vigor just might turn the pages of the graphic novel in which you star as your own marvel-worthy protagonist a bit faster.
More soon.
