We've talked about what happened in January many times (
that 'time runs out' palaver with Saturn and Pluto). We've known 'winter is coming' for years, although granted not exactly what that actually meant, and talked about it here many times (
this was more than an HBO series with a lame ending).
When these two bigwigs got together (
reality and death) they weren't dining alone. We also had Ceres (
Mother Earth) and Mercury seated there, too (
the movement of everything, our thinking and also through Virgo our HEALTH).
And, of course, the king himself, the SUN at the head of the table.
2020 was already set up for Venus to retrograde in Gemini (
Mercury's sign) in the spring, and with Uranus in Taurus answering to Venus, to pull Uranus chaos into the mix. Mars was scheduled to hit the hot Capricorn degrees the January palaver initiated in the spring and then to go retrograde in his own sign and square these same degrees, multiple times, in the late summer/fall.
So, let's think this through.
Saturn is reality. Pluto is death/transformation. The Sun, our energy/life/royalty/ego. Ceres, the seasons of our life/major change/the planet/food and Mercury, our health, our thinking and the movement of
everything.
It was possible to see, but not surprising that we didn't because we are talking about Pisces here, if we looked ahead at what Mercury and Ceres were going to do (
we already knew Saturn/Pluto was 'time runs out') - that this whole thing could play out through a VIRUS (
and with Mercury, the trickster involved, and pulling Pisces illusions and delusions into the mix, somehow an inability to see/know what is totally real/important here).
Because in 2020, both Mercury and Ceres were going to have long retrogrades in Pisces (the sign that rules the ethereal realms, the space of no boundaries, the ruler of viruses)
at the SAME DEGREES - Mercury (just as the Sun entered Pisces - remember he was at that January meeting, too) in the late winter/spring and Ceres in the following summer/fall/early winter.
And the Nodes of Fate, were set to move into Gemini/Sagittarius - squaring Pisces and Virgo - our two health signs and activating a whole generation of people born in the 1960's with Pluto conjunct Uranus in Virgo. Karma with trauma. The Virgo Full Moon on March 9, 2020 was designed as a potential drop kick, if needed, to launch something health related into the stratosphere. And it did.
Saturn/Pluto. Pluto/Saturn. This is where our focus went. A war? Death of the king? Remember we had Trump's impeachment and the shooting of the general in Iran, that led us to a pre-World War III (
think: Cuban missile crisis) kind of moment
.
Both Trump and everyone else who was paying attention rose from their sweaty death bed sheets as these situations appeared to quickly, almost magically
disappear
(the real crisis though, hidden by trickster Mercury in the background, was only beginning to seep out - China reports the first death from the new virus to the WHO).
The year seemed to set-up a crisis followed by its swift ending/non-ending. In our personal lives something would have happened like this, too and probably never totally resolved itself either, but the thing we were most afraid of happening doesn't actually happen (
not that people were afraid of Trump's impeachment, although I am sure some were, but because he - the king - was afraid).
We let out the deep breath we were holding, only to find ourselves needing to draw another one ....
Mercury/Ceres may have saved many lives by giving this whole thing another road to take. We can't know. It's not a great road, but it's better than World War III or an alien invasion. Or is this an alien invasion? Maybe it is now that I think about it!
Mercury has done his/her part.
She (
as us) took what she received from that January palaver and sent this thing far and wide during her time in boundless Pisces, and also, being the trickster energy in an illusive sign made it hard/impossible to know just how dangerous this whole thing really was/is. Were deaths being over or under-reported? Was this whole thing priming the pump to have all of us salivating for a vaccine? Mercury/Pluto is thinking about death and, I guess she did her job. Because we were/are.
Last week, Ceres (
activating things outside our control), in Pisces, hit the degree of Mercury's station from late February, and then she also stationed retrograde! So, now she brings what she has taken from the palaver into this simmering Pisces soup.
(at 13 degrees, which is also the degree of the final Eclipse last week, the Cappy Full Moon Eclipse, and remember it was the Cancer Full Moon eclipse that happened two days before Saturn/Pluto - Cancer/Cappy are opposite signs - that was the one with the mama-bear Cancer Moon standing all alone against the world, demanding we prioritize home and family. She certainly had a hand in what was coming!)
Remember planets at station are UBER strong. Think of your finger moving through a lit candle and then you stop moving your hand. Ouch.
So, now Ceres is moving back over Mercury's LIT degrees, but also bringing her own energy into this space - because she was at the January table, too. She is slower than Mercury - and could potentially carry us through multiple seasons of this.
Again the virus back in the news spreading/growing
(
I am sorry this is so United States centric for anyone outside the U.S!),
I am still thinking with Neptune (ruler of Pisces) retrograde the virus will not be as deadly now. This is more about 'thinking about death/fear', our karma with trauma, rising from our sweaty sheets (
after) and the destruction of old support systems.
Ceres is going to be in Pisces until the end of February 2021. By that time the Sun will be in Pisces starting a fresh cycle ...
Another thing we have had happening during this time (
because remember it is never just one thing in a chart) is the start of Saturn/Uranus when Saturn made a brief appearance in Aquarius. He will be back there in December and be in Aquarius until March 2023. Saturn is going to square Uranus multiple times next year - so this is two things that say the same thing. This isn't about the virus necessarily, but definitely factors in.
This is the rebellion (
Uranus) against rules/limits/authority (
Saturn) story-line - among other things. We've seen this play out here in the United States in multiple ways.
One thing to keep in mind is the 'death cycle' with Pluto that we talked about in other posts. The point isn't that we die. Because we can never actually die (
although obviously we can lose our human life). This 'rising from our death bed' thing implies that we have been made to care enough about LIVING to be able to rise. To want to rise.
Our lives need to be made to MATTER.
Black Lives Matter becoming such a collective energy is part of
that. We needed this now. All of us. We have to say our life is valuable. This had to happen now to have the impact it is going to have. To have the power it needs to have. A whole bunch of people, supported by a whole other bunch of people, need to KNOW this.
We can't rise from our sweaty death bed sheets without
KNOWING WE MATTER
(
if you are a person who these words bother/who are triggered by them - think about why they bother you, maybe somewhere you need to more strongly believe that you matter, I can assure you YOU ARE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME COSMIC EVENT - no one matters more than you do).
This whole thing playing out through the death of a man who couldn't breath during a time of a respiratory pandemic isn't a coincidence. This is
us co-creating life on planet Earth.
Tipping points will always arrive.
As will retrogrades just when we need them, in this case, so we can re-think/re-work the 'practical'!
Maybe once we came to the collective conclusion, through quantum physics and new-age thinking (
what strange bedfellows) that we make our reality/that thoughts are things and influence events, reality's shifting was set into motion in the most peculiar ways ..,..
Back in a couple days with part VII - we'll look at Ceres, the QAnon stuff with Trump and how this factors in, the virus future timelines and more
