Happy Halloween. Many are touting Sunday’s (GMT) solar eclipse in Scorpio and its promised emotional intensity as a most scary follow up to Halloween. If deep feelings based in soulful intensity are scary, well then... Oh yeah, Uranus and Pluto were square two days ago... and we got through that scary bugger (again). And there was Mercury conjunct Saturn (again). How creepy cobweb frightful was that? And that’s behind us, too.
Seems that after all the build up of angst, emotional let down might follow. A good antidote to post-transit anticipation let down syndrome (PTALDS) can be found in going galactic. The stretch into greater vastness - and presumably expanding consciousness in so doing - can do a psyche good. I’m not sure it’s useful for processing out the accumulation of corn syrup from candy corn and other Halloween treats out of the digestive system... but that’s another matter.
Over the next few days Venus takes on some very notable galactic points. On November 2nd, Venus lines up with the most potent core of our galaxy. This portends an amazingly insightful era. Progressive ideas slip into consciousness through creative activities or while engaged in creatively inspiring activities. It’s worth remembering that Galactic Center ideas can be unlimited in potential and scope. It’s the emotional adjustment that psyches must apply to newfangled ideas that prohibit immediate comprehension and integration of exciting new ideas. For those tuning in, you’ll be a bit like the messenger of uncertain news as you speak of ideas from the edge of beyond.
Sense it and see it (it being insight, creativity, innovation, concept or invention).
Cultivate it.
Assess it for all it’s worth.
Monetize it.
Prototype it.
Show it for all it is.
Once you put your insight into play and people can see how cool it is to use, it’s viable. The typical resistance to progress melts in the exquisite display of the viability of implementation.
Should one be inclined to consider one of the recent planetary add-ins, Ceres, additional gains appear. She is also aligned with the Galactic Center at this time, albeit from a right angle from Virgo. It is especially important to include Ceres, goddess of agriculture, while in the sign of the harvest. Ceres in Virgo perfectly personifies reaping. Certainly, the effort of Ceres in Virgo square the Galactic Center is to reap consciousness faster than the black hole at the center of our galaxy can dilate time. Practical seeds sown at this time, infused with Galactic Center essence grow faster than most.
On November 5th as Venus inches into Capricorn she exactly squares Ceres in Libra, who is then engaging the Super-Galactic Center, the core of our local group of galaxies. At this point in the zodiac, Venus directly aligns with a series of anomalistic pulsars, including the fastest spinning pulsar known. In the days that follow, Venus matches up in an array of binary x-ray eclipsing pulsars. Activation by these pulsars can make a person plow through mundane tasks seemingly faster than possible, especially if priorities are clearly established. Solutions to paradoxes and double-binding situations appear as clear insight in the bare bones of all matters illuminates the motives of soul-borne intentions.
Venus and Ceres both possess a reputation for extremism.
For Ceres it’s more emotional. When scorned, she’s an “all options are on the table” kind of policy creator. She’ll go the extra mile to resolve things to her satisfaction, sometimes winning battles while losing wars - symbolically, of course.
Venus brings a physical component to her extremes. As a planet, she’s hot, toxic, corrosive, asphyxiating, and crushing. When she focuses on an issue, pressure immediately squeezes intentions into action. She heats up abstractions and vague ideas into action and brings pots (and Halloween cauldrons) to swift boils.
Venus and Ceres now form the beginnings of a tense angle with one another that prevails through next week. The message: Don’t get mad, get motivated. Disappointed? Feelings hurt? Fine, feel those bruises and then create a project of passion with greater richness and intensity than anything you’ve ever put out there before.
Bear in mind...
The universe cannot sanction efforts you do not make.
People cannot endorse ideas you do not speak.
Seeds sown grow. All casting of seeds has a specific yield. Not every seed sprouts a reward.
Seeding is the antecedent of cultivation, nurturing and refining, and is the precedent of reaping.
Galactic insights tend to be greeting by head-scratching and puzzlement in their early stages.
Given the galactic elements behind Venus and Ceres in this upcoming square, a greater reach of consciousness than is normally available applies. Though personal reactions are likely to be highlighted, the solution lies in applying the greatest reach of galactic insight achievable. The galactic plums are not out of reach either, in case anyone flashes on a vision of Tantalus. The galactic insights are reachable, but only by those who stretch beyond known norms. A good stretch on the Pilate ball of the psyche might be needed first... and while there rolling about, why not reset or rearrange some priorities for faster accomplishment of progress?
Venus and Ceres are not done with the Capricorn-Libra square next week. On January 6th, they square again, late in the signs as Venus in Capricorn returns to square Ceres. This next square neatly polishes the efforts of the next week rather well actually. Do your galactic grab now. Put it out there, sewing what you intend to reap later. Allow quizzical looks to come you way from those to whom you render your best innovations. Let holidays distractions prevail, and come the first of the year, as the Earth is closest to the Sun, the ideas should begin to take root and sprout.
That’s the thing with galactic insights... while they make time to implement, when they lock into place, seemingly it’s been a timeless adventure.
So, for the next week, while no one’s watching the clock, cast those progressive insights out there. While others may lurk about, looking for dark corners and crannies in consciousness, give them insight, inspiration and ingenuity. Reward comes to those who innovate. If you want a reality check to confirm that point, ask Venus and Ceres as they ready themselves in formation during these next days. They have a definitive answer for you.
More soon.
