NB : Due to the GFC - The light at the end of the tunnel has now been switched off.
What a thought, sometimes it seems as though the powers that be could and would try anything to try and bring us under control, but as this triple conjunction of planets reflects a world needing to stay on track, working and thinking together about the future, we are reminded to keep a sense of hope for the individual, freedom of speech, action and self expression to guide us on our merry way.As we stick together with like minded groups that make us feel connected in the big wide world, we can only hope that the future is being built by continuing to stand up for what we believe in.
On the 28th may 2009, a rare conjunction that has been in effect since about April this year and lasts until Jan 2010 reflects our world so ultimately connected, but also alarmingly out of sync. The more we feel we progress in the world, helping and caring for each other, raising money, feeding poverty, fighting for a cause, demonstrating etc etc etc, we are constantly reminded of how much still does not change, is beyond our influence, leaving many of us feeling hopeless, depressed and mentally unable to cope with what the future holds for ourselves and the rest of humanity.
As many of us connect via the internet, via facebook, twitter, myspace etc, read each others blogs, share everything we possibly can or want to, whilst feeling somewhat better connected to the world and the growing power of online communities and networking, there lurks in there as well the feeling of being even more disconnected that ever. The signatures of Neptune in Aquarius, a world built on the net, available everywhere seeping through our lives, but keeping us all at megabyte lengths from each other,known by avatars not faces. Our changing world - the atmosphere of our times, a world ultimately so connected, but at the same paradoxical moment, on a individual level we often feel more separated and lonely than ever before, staying behind the safety, mask and anonymity of our Computer.
Of course swine flu, growing everyday with more and more cases, scares the shit out of us, and it wouldn't be a surprise to learn that perhaps it's a WHO tactic, a world organization controlling the masses by breeding fear into them, again. A world organization is pretty scary in itself, as who is it really being controlled by, that's certainly more scary to me than swine flu. An interesting correlation with an Aquarian line up of planets in March 1345 from a statement by the medical faculty in Paris, explains that the “Black Death” was due to the Mars, Saturn and Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius, which explained the “Corruption of the air”*.
The real threats to us now are the masses being controlled. Imagine if our www was disconnected, illegal or what have you. It's been done before, the gathering and distributing of information and knowledge persecuted, books burnt, reading and learning anything besides propaganda in places like the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and many others over the past century remind us of this. In places like Soviet controlled Lithuania illegal "Book Carriers," "Knygnesiai" developed. They would carry Lithuanian language books from village to village, risking their lives, so the children could continue to learn to read in their native language. The biodiversity, of this planet is what remains under threat under this triple conjunction. In Australia we are experiencing the same unification principle with our native indigenous folk, who are being rounded up in the outback to live in larger communities, destroying their uniqueness along the way, a culture and their elders being ignored as to what's best for them and their people.
As this conjunction brings with it the idea of healing and being healed, healing the planet and everything about it, it also alarms us to what still is happening in so many destructive ways, to try and mould and direct us all, it's more economical, but for who?. Chiron reminds us of the difficult task ahead, how much has cut too deep to perhaps ever repair. Chiron and Jupiter together remind us , to seek truth and habour wisdom, to teach what's important, to breed heroes and individuals, people that make a difference in the world, not sheep, blind and ignorant in their existence. Neptune and Chiron together bring with them a feeling of total despair and giving up, because it hurts too much and it's completely hopeless. Jupiter seeks truth too, truth about what lies ahead, the truth about how to proceed, the truth of what we seek, the truth in the information we receive and retain. Unfortunately the masses are gullible, the 6:00 o'clock news is how most Australians get there daily source of information or mostly they just don't care.The triple wammy, expands these themes in human consciousness , a focus on the importance of spreading truth knowledge and re-learning what we know about what's really happening out there.
The Aquarian focus highlights that it is through community , networking, campaigning, speaking up, being active, that we can do it together in the end. This triple conjunction asks,
What is the vision from on top of the mountain we have created?
Part of the mountain is made of garbage and we are now at the brink of deciding what is rubbish and what is not. With the help of Pluto as it moves slowly through Capricorn and will begin to square Uranus over the next year, the changes we are ready to stand up for are coming. From this point of the journey forward, the Aquarian vision we hold now, becomes ever so important. Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter - visions of hope, mixed with faith and a large does of truth, inspiration and the individuals participation, is our key.This week when the triple conjunctrion is most exact we have mercury retrograde in Taurus, focusing our attention on the corruption, lies and greed that lies behind much of what goes on. Mercury in Taurus square this triple wammy reminds us too, to be real, to show it how it really is, to meet face to face, to have conversation around a dinner table not a computer screen, to see the other side of the world away from the computer. Instead, we freak out when our internet's not working, or our mobiles are switched off , go for a walk, smell real roses, look at the real world, not a screen for a change.
We are also reminded of the incredible power of creatively, art and music to tell a story, speak to thousands, keep us in wonder and awe, and the power of the individual to speak to the collective. In the words of the famous living Musician Poet, Leonard Cohen, a native of Venus and Neptune conjunction in Virgo, an artist understanding the power of words, the sacredness of love and pain, these lyrics from his song Anthem, remind us to to have hope, that nothing will ever be perfect, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that can never ever be switched off.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Thanks for the reminder Leonard xxx
