The Great Sextile 6 pointed Star pattern now occurring involves Moon in Taurus, Jupiter and Mars in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Saturn in Scorpio, Pluto in Capricorn, and Neptune in Pisces. How is this related to the Grand Irrationality?
In an interesting shift, Neptune and Pluto are now somewhere around 55 degrees apart, which isn’t really within orb of being a septile. That means Neptune and Pluto each have their own set of septile series degree zones, but do not work simultaneously. They will be back in septile by September, but for now enjoy that they are closer to a sextile than a septile.
That also means the Grand Irrationality is somewhat weakened at this time, even though Saturn is still triseptile Uranus, generating its own non-rational series of degrees. These also show us we’re at a huge fork in the road of our lives wherever this falls in our chart. I spoke of this in the past Full Moon articles, so please go check them out to see if you have a planet or angle that falls in one of these 7 zones generated by Saturn and Uranus.
Right now, the septile series to Neptune and Pluto work consecutively rather than simultaneously. The septiles, biseptiles, and triseptiles to Pluto involve 10-12 Capricorn, 1-3 Pisces, 23-25 Aries, 14-16 Gemini, 6-8 Leo, 27-29 Virgo, and 18-20 Scorpio. The septile series aspects to Neptune now involve 13-15 Capricorn, 4-6 Pisces, 26-28 Aries, 17-19 Gemini, 9-12 Leo, 30 Virgo-2 Libra, and 21-24 Scorpio.
So this Great Sextile involves Neptune and Pluto, but more through the Grand Trines forming the Great Sextile than the Grand Irrationality. From now through August the above zones will be transited by all of the inner planets, with Mars last in the sequence activating the Grand Irrationality in the first half of September.
To note, Neptune will again be in orb of a septile to Pluto by late September, lasting until May 2014. Still, for now the Great Sextile gives Neptune and Pluto more of a sextile feel than a septile effect, so enjoy it while you can!!
This is important for later this year into 2014, since Saturn will enter the Scorpio zone of the Grand Irrationality by late November and septile Pluto through May 2014. It will biseptile Neptune from December 2013 through mid-April 2014, and again beginning September 2014. So enjoy the brief respites from the Grand Irrationality during the Summers, since it’s the first glimpse that this long wave pattern is finally beginning to end.

I felt the most good and at ease I have felt for longer than I can remember during the 9 hour duration of the "Star of David", whether illusion or not doesnt matter, my experience was beautiful and hopeful.

Hi Debbie, nice for me too. Productive dreaming. There was an itch in my noggin for some time. I don't know, but after that late 2003 grand sextile with chiron included, my life as it was came to a screeching halt. I was a little wary going into this one, but it involves a very basic inner change as far as I can see now. Being more aware, I hope to avoid any big kabooms. Beautiful is good!

24. Fu / Return (The Turning Point)
.
After a time of decay comes the turning point. The powerful light that has been banished returns. There is movement, but it is not brought about by force. The upper trigram K'un is characterized by devotion; thus the movement is natural, arising spontaneously. For this reason the transformation of the old becomes easy. The old is discarded and the new is
introduced. Both measures accord with the time; therefore no harm results. Societies of people sharing the same views are formed. But since these groups come together in full public knowledge and are in harmony with the time, all selfish separatist tendencies are excluded, and no mistake is made.
The idea of RETURN is based on the course of nature. The movement is cyclic, and the course completes itself. Therefore it is not necessary to hasten anything artificially. Everything comes of itself at the appointed time. This is the meaning of heaven and earth.
.
All movements are accomplished in six stages, and the seventh brings return. Thus the winter solstice, with which the decline of the year begins,comes in the seventh month after the summer solstice; so too sunrise comes in the seventh double hour after sunset. Therefore seven is the number of the young light, and it arises when six, the number of the great darkness, is
increased by one. In this way the state of rest gives place to movement."

The further forward we go, the closer to the ancient past we connect... in astrology to me, there is no mistake that the planets move anti clockwise uncovering our true natures through a long process of cycles within cycles, worlds within worlds and yet the major shift of the "ages" which are moving us forward evolution wise move clockwise in a positive direction from Aries, to Pisces and now Aquarius, both direction required in order to finally meet along the way and co operate with the "whole" process and its creative intent, co operation between humans and nature, spirit and power, individuals with individuals, it is an ideal and it takes as long as the process is divinely and naturally needing it to be, yet it takes and ideal or an inspired idea to create any masterpiece, to me and often our challenges come from our pride which fears looking foolish and being rejected in order to create from that ideal yet it is what it takes to do so. Personally I would choose to look foolish in the eyes of others and take that leap of faith to honour my quest, to help create that ideal masterpiece, with my own pure nature and all the gifts I have to achieve what was promised before earthly life, or what was for-given, truly worth the hard work and commitment to me :)
