Jupiter trine Saturn within 1° (extends until December 5th 2025)
For certain, it is coming out. Creeping or screaming it’s way to the surface. This aspect doesn’t stand alone, in fact, it is a grand trine with Saturn and involves a resonant square of Jupiter to Chiron. Mercury brings on a new way of looking at things and an excitement to explore these findings. A combination of celebration, grieving, and perhaps some anxiety seeps in on Wednesday. If you can be free, go get it.
So the limitations are as clear as the frustrations with them. Decisions made months ago might feel like they were a mistake. I want you to avoid this way of thinking. Instead, consider how the restrictions you are under are the perfect place for the trapped energy to finally make it’s way out.
Have you ever noticed that, if you can distract yourself enough, you never really know what you are feeling. That moment when you are finally alone, and it all hits you. Are you melting down onto the floor? Are you screaming while you are in the shower? Are you texting someone angrily? Feverishly spending money online to soothe your discomfort?
Whatever way it arrives, it most certainly will. If we go years or decades without emotional release, we may end up at a doctors office getting diagnosed, tested and prodded. What is a malignant growth in the body other than a physically manifested energetic blockage? The body can only speak in so many forms to get us to listen.
Using your Magic
Magical energy lives within us. It flows through us at all times. At this moment, you can feel the energy in your body. The world is complex, and we are doing all we can to navigate this reality. Sometimes energy just gets stuck. The blockage is a belief, a fear, a rationalization. This stuck energy accumulates and takes a toll on our life force. Like fruits left in your hiking bag, it begins to ferment.
Maybe we just don’t feel safe to fully express this energy. Emotions are a sensitive topic. Emotions are the root of sensitivities. Those pesky chemicals that flow through our body and have us feeling in ways that we would prefer not to.
I have taken part in and witnessed the worst of humanity because fo this refusal to be uncomfortable. The connection between belief, thought, and emotion is misunderstood or completely ignored in our modern world. The technology of creation. The root of all magic, as a culture, we don’t even attempt to use or understand it.
Thought precipitates Feeling
A thought can change the way that we feel. Good news makes you feel a certain way, bad new the polar opposite. There are chemicals released in your body with every thought that crosses your mind. If you have ever watched a long and stressful movie, afterward you can feel it in your body. Even though you left the couch or the theater, there is a chemical residue in your cells.
These days, the phones and internet (televisions still for some) have become a non stop form of thought invasion. The mind does not differentiate between an observed event and a lived event. To your brain, the screen is your life for that moment of viewing. To your body, you are living those experiences until the chemicals have been supplanted by new ones.
With regular intervals of invasive thoughts, and the subsequent emotive response, we will have a mood. Consider a mood a pervasive or extended state of mind or feeling. While a single feeling is very short lived, a mood is a little bit longer in duration. The longer and more regularly the mood exists, the more it can become part of our identity.
So let us consider the beauty of this pattern… You live your life. Your brain recognizes the events around you and provides a bio chemical response in enhance your investment and enrich your experience. In response to repeating patterns, the body fosters substructures within the psyche. A comfort zone is created. Repeated challenging and enjoyable events become a little bit less shocking via pattern recognition. Instead of experiencing these situations as new and disorienting, we integrate the response into our system.
The first time your baby wakes up in the middle of the night, it can be quite troubling. By the second month of this pattern, your body, mind, and emotions just handle it. In a way, your body has surrendered to the repeating circumstance.
This is very helpful. This is your life. These are things you have to deal with. The response to the environment is an adaptation to your life. Like learning any skill, this helps us function and improve.
So how is this problematic… with any gift or tool, it is all about how it is used. In addition, any person or entity that seeks power or influence will aim to use your gifts for their own interest. The important part to note is that, in the example above, the adaptation is to things that ARE ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN YOUR OWN LIFE.
Things get off the rails when we obsess or are overexposed to situations which we cannot influence.
When we see a shocking event unfolding somewhere in the world on our phones, it is only natural that our bodies will have a bio chemical response. This is part of being human. This response can be mediated through breathing, spiritual practices and overall discipline of thought. Regardless, your body will inevitably register the witnessed event, even if subtle.
With repeated exposure, even the most disciplined of minds will form a mood. This is a sign that our mind is beginning to make connections. It is surrendering to the consistency of information and stimulus. Our physical life could be experiencing a meteoric rise of positivity. If we are exposed to enough distressing stimulus, we can be in a terrible mood and begin fearing the worst.
The mind body connection will be studied as long as humans exist. We are barely scratching the surface of what is possible. One thing that has become clear to me is that the mind will look for the familiar. Pattern recognition is a key part of our survival, learning and functioning within the world. The more we experience something, real or imagined, the more we will look for it in our environment.
Adaptive fear and concern…Years ago I was bit by a rattlesnake while hiking. Before that time, I was always looking for snakes. I like them, I think they are powerful and cool. What i’ve learned, though, is I wasn’t really looking for them. After that bite, I still hike often, spending days and nights in the desert wilderness. Now, though, I have learned what it is to perceive the snake. The potential life or death situation was strong enough to change my internal chemistry in environments where snakes may exist. Every time I am hiking, I am on high alert. I have become far better at recognizing areas where they may exist and also noticing them at a further distance.
This is a great example of a helpful adaptation to something that is potentially harmful. While this is helpful for me and those who hike with me, it’s also a pain in the ass. This is because 99+% of the time there are no snakes. The danger and stress that a single snake could bring, however, is enough that my mind and body designate attention to their potential 100% of the time.
This is adaptive, as it helps me to live and stay alive, protect others, and respect an important and magical part of the Earth’s ecosystem. In a way, I now have a rattlesnake mood.
This isn’t the first time in human history that people are struggling with this part of ourselves. Shocking events in the world have always happened. Since the mid twentieth century, news has broadcast information nationally and even globally. While I wasn’t there, I am certain there were people living in the American suburbs that were living in constant fear of nuclear threat during the cold war. They had adapted to the potential of a catastrophic nuclear holocaust. Children in school were indoctrinated and being taught to hide under their desks in drills. Warlords use the dissemination of fear to ensure the entire nation was adapting to something that was entirely out of their control and terrifying.
Why do I mention this? Well, is it really that hard to make the connection?
In July, I said goodbye to a good friend. She was a beautiful woman with a powerful and sensitive heart. At some point in her journey here on Earth, she became obsessed with the atrocities occurring in Palestine. This took her into a dark dark place. She was able to witness things online that, prior to recent technological advances, would never we witnessed so vividly or consistently. This, I do believe, played a large role in her ending her life. With great honor and sympathy, she wanted to do everything she could to change the plight of individuals suffering in Gaza. I can’t speak to whether or not this was all good or bad. I don’t like to think about someone ending their life as a step forward, but how could I truly know?
What I do know is that she changed. She lost touch with what she loved and even who she loved. She was living in the conflict. Her pervasive mood was ‘war and genocide’. At some point, there was no escaping this reality. Positive chemicals were hard to come by, and when they did come, they were no match for the patterning.
I would be remiss not to mention how deeply I trust her soul journey. How the times we spent together were impactful and vital to my life. I understand, I am not judging or asking for things to have happened any differently. At the end of our lives, we will all be examples for the living.
Compassion and Understanding as the World Hurts
The bombardment of tragic and distressing information and images has overwhelmed our collective senses. The overall mood is being influenced by this new wave of energy.
Ever wonder why things seem or feel a little dark?
Why people seem socially anxious?
Why they have a hard time with day to day activities?
Why people fight so much online?
Why rates of mental illness and suicide skyrocket?
It is being programmed into us, by our own volition and choice. This is a new frontier, and there is no roadmap. We are writing the new script as we speak. In this ‘choose your own adventure’ tale, we can end up in some fantastic and also catastrophic turns.
Each human is fighting a battle that you and I could never fully understand. We CAN provide a safe space for them. While many may seem that they want to engage in a fight, they would just be using you as an excuse to continue to spread their unrecognized feelings on the world. We cannot ‘feel’ for someone else, that is not a thing. Emotional intelligence can be taught by example, but it must be learned and honed through personal experience. Each person must go within and route their bodies messages effectively. Every individual must recognize what they’ve created or have allowed to be created within them. No other route is possible.
Well intentioned we are, seeking to help. Egotistical we are, looking to give advice.
I know there because I go there. I speak of my own experience, there is no need to tell you or anyone else what they are going through. These are my observations and perceptions, that is really all I have. Can we find that middle ground where the paths of others are respected as Soul Path? Thus allowing us to feel free to follow our own.
Outer judgements are nothing but reflections of our own inner world. We have plenty of ‘hidden’ within us. We can’t bring it to light all the time, so it rears it’s head in our reactive measures towards others.
The truth is hard to come by… as emotions cloud nearly everything around us, truth is obscured into piecemeal quotes and reactive measures. Part of growing up as a human race is to seek our truth from within. The rise in AI is a boon to this journey. Not knowing what to trust, we must find it ourselves. The Grand disillusionment is underway, can you feel it? Taking our faith from the outer world and reinvesting it in our unique human experience. I know me, that is about all. Even that is an ongoing journey. We’ve been wrestled from our soul bosom into a physical world full of expectation.
“Spread your thoughts, your will, your agenda with children and businesses. Support that which is like you in the name of family, nationalism or evangelism.” The seeds of self deceit are woven in the fabric of our institutions. Success eh? At what cost? What is success to the individual when the collective defines success?
Do we think for ourselves? Choosing sides isn’t choosing for yourself. No, in fact It is following orders as the options have been laid out before you. Soldiers following marching orders but with a slight caveat.
Breaking Convention
Where do we focus? What are we choosing to do with out time?
Are you raising a family? Collecting toys? Earning money?
Where we put our focus belies our inability to see the larger picture. This isn’t a bad way to live and it probably creates a sense of happiness, fulfillment and purpose. It does, however, tunnel vision us as to the nuance and larger undertaking in our world.
The world is busy, doing things that they want to do.
A global awakening requires a portion of the population to look inward and focus on themselves. Not to accomplish their outward goals in the world, but to take care of themselves and their truth at the deepest levels. Don’t get me wrong, children and romances are beautiful. Many people start amazing businesses that enrich their lives and bring cool stuff to the world.
If everyone is trying to do this, we end up lost in the sauce. Raising kids, holding tight to our nuclear family and fighting for the best lives for our children. Competing in the market for sales, clients, storefronts, clicks, views, attention and money. Arguing bitterly when relationships don’t fit our romantic dreams…
This creates madness and puts us at odds with others. We need people to break away from these conventions and chill out. Take time to just be with yourself and enjoy your little moments.
A group of people to watch the rest and just say ‘I see where you are going, I love you, but I am not going with you.” A movement of humans that enjoy the energy of the social sphere but don’t need to participate in the same way as the majority.
Welcome to Pluto in Aquarius.
People won’t want to vote.
People don’t want to get married.
Practicing alternative relationships.
Don’t support war.
Don’t care for nationalism.
Don’t care about borders.
Don’t care about gender.
Don’t care about religion.
Don’t care about debt, credit score, money.
Social standing doesn’t matter to them.
These are the necessary individuals to break the conventional system that are currently holding the collective evolution captive.
To this cohort of humanity… they don’t want to keep up with the Jones’. They are dull and listless, addicted to chemicals and caught in the propaganda meat grinder. Their grass lawns are lifeless and their lifestyle uninteresting.
Feeling it Out Through November and December
The Water Works
Breaking free can be done in many ways.
The AIR ROUTE :: think our way out of a problem with a logical and solution oriented mindset.
The EARTH ROUTE :: work our way out, stubbornly staying the course despite the obstacle.
The FIRE ROUTE :: create a stronger presence than the challenge, use it as fuel, burn it down.
The WATER ROUTE :: flow with the challenge, channel the energy. Allow it to carve itself away.
While this Grand Trine in water became very activated Monday 27th and Wednesday the 29th, this started weeks ago and will continue through early December. Emotive energy cannot be suppressed any longer and will show itself. This is one of those times full of such glorious expression.
How will things express for you? Do you have practices that foster you being in the flow?
With this much energy moving, it is essential to create. What do you make? Do you cook, bake, sing, dance, paint, watercolor?
When you get stuck, how do you get out? What is your method for shifting direction? The mountains are as high as the valleys are low.
Water has a way of expanding everything. It seeps into and fills any area that it can find. As this happens, places comes alive but also are cleansed. This can be uncomfortable. Kind of like hydrotherapy for the soul.
May we permit the old things to flow out of us? Can we see just how beautiful it would be to completely let go and invite in a new future.
Nostalgia and Patterns
Jupiter and Neptune’s powerful influence speaks to a grand nostalgia. The past can come back, in a way that seems shiny and brand new. It probably isn’t. It is okay to re explore, just know that the universe may be bringing you back to a familiar experience. Sooner or later it will drop you off there. At that place, you’ll remember why you left in the first place. Patterns are just that, patterns. So when you have a choice to get back into one this time… remember every cycle before. These lessons are big, representing lifetimes of accumulated karma and learning. So, in a way, it’s kind of like… whatever I’ll do what I want… been there, done that. In another way, it’s like seeing light shining through a crack for the first time.
Where you can find the will power and resources, go explore the new spaces.
Do these words resonate with your experiences?
Are you looking for some guidance during these emotional and transitional times.
None of us can escape the scope of these transits, they are pervasive and are influencing our lives to change in previously unimaginable ways.
