The big Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron Conjunction and the Potential of it

Jupiter and Neptune have been moving towards their rendezvous all month. Now it will be finally exact. This conjunction will be with us well into the summer with Jupiter going retrograde in the middle of June.

And Chiron is also still at 26 degrees of Aquarius adding to the mix.

You could say that this is the time we have been waiting for!

Living on a planet where separation, power and greed are still very dominant factors for decisions on a personal or national level and between nations; many of us have those desires for peace, freedom, equal human rights and a true change in human interactions. The election of Obama as President has sprung from the hope for better days, better decisions in politics and a deep longing for change for the better, for true idealism and accountability. “We can do it!”

As I commented in my post “The Audacity of Hope in Astrology” our level of awareness about the universal forces at work gives us a choice where we want to channel our energies. It lets us focus on the positive potential of an astrological constellation and therefore make it more achievable.

I like you to look at this three way rendezvous between Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune from that perspective of potentiality. At 26 degrees in Aquarius this is one of the big milestones in what we call the Aquarian Age or some call it the Golden Age of mankind.

The Aquarian Age is thought as the time in our human evolution where the principles of equality, diversity, peace, freedom and abundance for all become reality. I grant you we are far from it yet, but I believe that this constellation is setting the stage for the enfoldment of it.

Let us have a look at the general characteristics of these three planets:

Jupiter:

“His interest is in philosophy, religion, and the deeper meaning of life. His strength is the ability to synthesize and his sense of oneness and equality. Everything about Jupiter is expansive. In the old astrology he was called the bringer of fortune because of his ability to show us where we will find meaning and fulfillment in our life.”

Neptune:

“In astrology Neptune is the god of the higher states of all-encompassing love, agape, higher states of consciousness of oneness and connectedness, and deep compassion and empathy. He transcends the experience of our mundane life into the spiritual realms and reaches into the collective unconscious. He is the mystic saint, the monk who devotes his life to the mysteries, the selfless healer of body and soul, the spiritual adviser.”

Chiron:

“Chiron is called the “wounded healer.” He shows us where we need to put tremendous effort into healing trauma and early childhood wounds often buried deep in our unconsciousness. It is very challenging and takes great courage to confront those old wounds, but it is indeed necessary for the healing process. At the same time, Chiron opens our heart and lets it flower into deep compassion and empathy for others. He is a spiritual teacher par excellence and gives us the hidden keys to higher levels of consciousness.”(taken from my book: Astrology and Gems for Self-Discovery)

Reading these descriptions of these planets I am sure you can see my point. “The force is with you!” as pointed out by spiritual teacher Yoda in Star Wars. I would like to change that to: The universal forces are in alignment with your deepest desires and needs. And it is up to all of us to implement and make it a reality on our planet. You can make a difference!

A Beautiful Life

I would like you to take a moment to contemplate while looking back into your life, how many people you have touched and given something that made a difference in their life. This can be a very powerful exercise!

I always loved the movie “A Beautiful Life” where the main hero got to experience what would happen to all his friends, acquaintances, family, people in his town if he would have never been born. It is a very visual reminder how intertwined and connected we all are and what responsibility we all share in acting accordingly.

Because are very slow moving celestial bodies we will have some time to integrate these princiJupiter, Neptune and Chironples and make it work. Between March 2009 and February 2010 these three planets will remain within 10 degrees of each other.

This is our time and our chance!

This could be our time for coming together more in the spirit of oneness with amazing social, political and economic reforms. This constellation has the potential to open our hearts for greater compassion and experiences of the spiritual dimension of life and raising us to higher levels of consciousness.

There are many voices talking about the year 2012 as the end of the old world and the beginning of the Golden Age. The Mayan Calender is ending then. My friend Aurora Juliana Ariel has written a book called Earth 2012: The Ultimate Quest where she offers hope in finding a way for inner balance and peace through these tumultuous times. I am sure you will find it helpful and uplifting.

I hope you keep up your vision and focus for that great Aquarian Age we all have been waiting for.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.
