2020 Certainly has been a time of unusual events that have altered our reality in ways many had never imagined.

2020 July Celestial Timings PDF for additional Details

June featured the beginning of a New Venus Cycle with Venus Retrograde most of the month. Mercury joined the retrograde line-up a few days before Venus stationed direct.

Then we had the second of 3 exact Jupiter Pluto conjunctions on June 29/30.

The first was April 4 and the last is November 12. Find out more here and how the Jupiter Pluto conjunction is the Alchemy that can liberate whatever might be holding us back – now. https://cayelincastell.com/the-alchemy-of-jupiter-and-pluto-conjunctions/

We begin July with Saturn returning to Capricorn helping to further facilitate the dismantling of all the old forms that are no longer sustainable in this reality. Jupiter expands this process and Pluto turbo charges our opportunity to die to the old and make room for the new. All three planets remain very close this entire month. Read More

The Alchemy of Jupiter and Pluto Conjunctions Natally
(applies to squares and oppositions too)

On April 5, 2020 my first grandbaby entered this world with a nearly exact Pluto Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn (shown here at 2.5 months old).

Two months earlier, in February 2020 I was on an astrology panel at the Conscious Life Expo sitting between two astrologer’s who were talking about how a Jupiter Pluto conjunction was an amazingly fortunate combination – especially for the economy.

Interestingly other astrologers have a different opinion about this including Peter Burns who researched this topic here and found that Jupiter Pluto is not always a great time economically and in fact often represents a collapse of the old structure (especially when in Cancer or Capricorn) ideally so something more vital and supportive to all on planet Earth can emerge. However, that hasn’t always been the case in the past. Read More

Astrological patterns are recognized in terms of the meaning
that we bring to inner and outer experiences,
although we are perhaps in turn predisposed to the quality
of our experiences by the patterns themselves.
However, rather than trying to pre-empt fate,
to ward it off or pretend it does not exist,
we may perhaps work with it as consciously as we are able:
thus we participate in the alchemical opus,
the hero’s journey, the philosopher’s stone,
or the finding of the long lost kingdom.

 Chiron and the Healing Journey
An Astrological and Psychological Perspective
By Melanie Reinhart

The above quote is from a book on Chiron (the Shamanic Healer) and YET also very much describes the Pluto process especially when Jupiter is involved. You might find it interesting that I wrote the article below before remembering this quote I have loved for over 20 years from Melanie Reinhart. I thought I was done writing this when suddenly I just had to find this quote about I remembered having something to do with the alchemical opus and philosopher’s stone. It feels like the perfect way to begin introducing the concepts shared below.

The intent of this article is to inspire all who read it to discover your own alchemical opus within – transforming your base elements into the golden light of who you truly are! Read More

A work in progress…scroll down to Eclipses Near the Great Attractor for June 5, 2020 Full Moon Eclipse insights.

The Full Moon and Summer Solstice are symbolic of each other as both are a time of the greatest amount of light in their cycles. Thus, as we approach the Summer Solstice the Sagittarius Full Moon brings to light the deeper truths of life as we continue to embrace our personal and collective spiritual quest for enlightenment.

The Sagittarius Full Moon symbolizes a time of fulfillment and increased awareness where seeds planted in an earlier cycle are coming to fruition. The seeds of truth we have been cultivating are ready to shine in all their glory.

It is important to consider the correspondence between what we believe is true and what we actually experience in objective reality. Thomas Aquinas stated it this way: “A judgment is said to be true when it conforms to the external reality.”

The evolution of what we believe to be true occurs as our external reality changes and no longer supports the beliefs we once thought were true.

Corvus sitting on the tail of the serpent

Corvus, (latin for Raven) is listed in the 48 Constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy.

Corvus the Raven was tasked by the Greek god Apollo, to take a chalice and collect the waters of life that Apollo needed for a sacred ceremony he was performing.

Corvus did not attend to his task right away, choosing to spend many days waiting to eat figs about to ripen on a fig tree. When Corvus eventually returned to Apollo with the waters of life, the raven claimed he had been delay by Hydra the water snake.  Angry and annoyed, Apollo cursed Corvus with eternal thirst and threw him into the heaven, beside the chalice or cup CRATER, guarded by the watersnake, HYDRA.

This story about the curse of eternal thirst from the Greek perspective is why Ravens have black feathers and raspy voices. Read More

Venus is related to some amazing number magic including when she is brightest and furthest from the Sun (also known as maximum elongation).

It is interesting to note there are 5 Venus Cycles every 8 years and Venus goes around the Sun 13 times in those 8 years. This relates to the Fibonacci sequence 5+8=13.

Additional number magic is 5×8=40 and age 40 is significant Venus Return. Plus Venus is retrograde for about 40 days.

The Moon passes the Pleiades once each month re-enacting what is depicted on the Nebra Sky Disc discovered in 1999. http://www.lda-lsa.de/en/nebra_sky_disc/

This disk is considered one of the most important archaeological finds depicting the path of the Sun and the Moon passing the Pleiades.

Venus usually goes retrograde in the sign of the upcoming new cycle and usually stations direct in the new sign determined by the sign Venus was in when rising as a morning star. Stay tuned for updates to this post.
