Back in April, Mercury and Venus took turns standing between Uranus and Eris in Aries. When Mercury had his place between these planets, general agitation and mental irritation prevailed. When Venus mimicked Mercury, an intricate system of contrasting need versus want resulted, highlighted as the Moon in Scorpio quincunxed the position of Venus. Awkward adjustments ensued and the pursuit of ones passion agendas forced navigation of straits that were not at all straight. Optimistically, one emerged into clear seas with following winds where more alignment between need and want reset courses taken.
In but no time at all, June 21st, Ceres assumes a position between Uranus and Eris. Ceres, the ultimate advocate, intends to wave banners, sign petitions, attend rallies, rouse the troops and pursue improvements in perceived agendas - no matter what the cost.
Eris always holds a place in political matters. Jupiter once dispatched her to reverse the motion of the universe for but one day to correct a political wrong (as Jupiter perceived it). Now, as the U.S. Presidential election reaching the boiling point, advocacy based upon April’s alignment and the current activism inspired by Ceres comes to light. The economically disadvantaged, equal pay for women, women’s rights, transgender issues, the inclusion of outsiders (immigrants and refugees) and global relations become enormous points. And Daesh, whose derived words of origin mean, “one who crushes something underfoot” and “one who sows discord.” and is a negative slang word for IS, ISIS or whatever they want to be called this month, stands to draw intensified global ire. After all, Eris, lover of mayhem and discord, is to be challenged by Mars in this upcoming pattern.
Any election taking place on planet Earth will feel these planetary effects. Wise politicians will heed the impetus and concede that sincere agendas for massive change must replace typically hollow talking points. This is not a revolution... it is an evolution. Ceres stands between Uranus and Eris challenging all to become a part of the evolution and do something to ensure change results. No more sign wagging, rally attending... only significant action that renders positive change need apply.
Assuming the April transits perfectly engaged in ones psyche, the exact alignment as the solstice occurs will be an enormously positive and productive campaign on the personal life advancement front. The alignment between needs and wants moves purposeful pursuits center stage and stokes the fire that fuels the fecundity and passion, motivating a person beyond any subconscious resistance to moving forward in life. As much as this is an interval of global advocacy and fairness for all, personal progress is slated to occur at an exponential rate.
The conjunction of Ceres to Eris and Uranus received unmitigated incendiary stimulus from Mars in Scorpio. While intending to go this way, the course will shift to that-a-way and the subsequent progress far exceeds initial indications. Though the final destination is different, it is an infinitely better point of entry for current objectives. Mars scoffs at rigidity, compulsiveness and anal retention. Far better to be lax in all regards when it comes to getting there from where you now stand.
Another element to factor into the mix is the Moon. As was true in April, the lunar movement stimulates strong and intense reactions to the transit at hand. Later on during the solstice day, the Moon in Capricorn squares the Aries positions of Ceres, Uranus and Eris, while the quincunx from Mars operates as Scorpio prefers - behind the scenes and/or on the inner realms. Should one suck up any internal insecurity, fear of inadequacy, resistance to the powers that be, and foster confidence by acknowledging acquired experience and wisdom, great gains will be made. As long as one applies persistent effort with an unwavering excitement and constant enthusiasm for all objectives ahead, great gain results. True, that is a tall order, but the stimulation from the Moon in this transit window lasts but a short time. Be alert to shadows that creep in. Pay attention to pangs of insecurity that blip the “here’s what I intend to accomplish” radar screen. Kick to the curb anyone who persists in playing devil’s advocate or seems hell bent on being your personal naysayer.
Long ago there was a song with the line, “seasons change and so do I...” The inner changes are those stemming from a strong sense of personal advocacy. If you don’t take a Ceres-like stand for yourself, no one else will carry your banner. If you do not press forward with intensity, determination and the unrelenting energy of Mars in Scorpio, no one else will. However, a perceptive Mars in Scorpio reads the room and knows exactly when to back off, remain quiescent or press forward. Seek acute environmental awareness. Determine how and why you will remain determined to honor the lunar passage and sanction it’s square to the trinity of planets in Aries.
Also keep in mind, Ceres remains a force with which all must reckon. In terms of her physicality (mass, diameter, gravity and density), and with respect to her per capita size and placement, she remains one of the, if not the most powerful objects in our solar system. Remember she is a planet. Not only is she a planet, as a member of the asteroid belt, she stands between personal planets and social consciousness planets (Jupiter and Saturn), gaseous giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and the transformative planets toward what we perceive as the edge of our solar system (Pluto, Charon, Eris, Makemake, Haumea and the even larger planet astronomically assumed to be out there). She is the gate keeper.
As gate keeper Ceres must determine that you walk the high road and that your life is free of victimization bias, revenge agendas, and causes for which you feel no true empathy. She seeks to establish that you are on the correct side of the fence in terms of agenda before she releases the password, opens the door, or indicates the proper step sequence to traverse the stile.
Keep in mind that while Uranus presumably seeks change, he rules a fixed sign. That revolution he discusses so fondly also defines the prescribed motion of a planet around the Sun and for perpetuity.
Eris on the other hand, worked with Jupiter to disrupt the flow and order of the solar system long enough for perception to be righted and changes that benefit the collective to be installed.
While a feeling of uncertainty, seismic shock and tentativeness fills the air, it combines with the titillation of standing on the cusp of a life-altering shift that boosts all activities of life out of the smog deck and into the stratosphere where sailing is smoother. Replace the tendency to anticipate buffets with a no-expectation zone of goal pursuit, such that when aligned with the best of universal realization the sailing becomes smooth and effortless.
It may be that in the initial stages of producing massive life changes feathers need to fan out. However, once others realize your plumage is here to stay and is more than a psychic accouterment, the plotting of the planets in play since April, organically reap results.
Enjoy.
More soon.
