The recent Full Moon featured FOUR major conjunctions all in play right now! This is extraordinarily rare, and hyperstimulating the houses where we have late Capricorn, late Aquarius, late Pisces, and mid-Aries.
Any time we have a conjunction, we have a “dual pulse” type of energy described by the planets in conjunction. When we have an inner planet conjunct one of the transpersonal planets, at this time shown by Mercury conjunct Pluto and Venus conjunct Neptune, the inner planet expresses the spiritual quality shown by the outer planet.
This makes for more complex experiences, as we won’t simply have Mercury experiences, but instead Mercury conjunct Pluto experiences! This cycle features the ability to learn techniques of reading omens in concrete objects. Some of our ideas will be revised in profound ways, and some of us will attain a much higher visibility than we had before now. This is the definition of “penetrating insight,” and is the last Mercury/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn for hundreds of years.
Venus will conjunct Neptune at 25 Pisces, a degree of the soul purifying the personality. This also sets a year cycle into motion, featuring compassion and allowing many things to end to purify our lives. This will help us understand the universality of the human condition, and how our experiences aren’t so different from countless others. This is first of the final three Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces, as by 2025 they will conjunct in Aries.
So at this time, Mercury expresses the larger Plutonic spiritual field force and Venus expresses the larger Neptunian spiritual field force. Combining the “spiritual mind of Pluto” with the “spiritual interaction of Neptune,” it’s a good time to be responsible in being compassionate as we say goodbye, due to the realities at the core of what’s going on.
We also have Sun conjunct Saturn and Jupiter conjunct Chiron. Jupiter conjunct Chiron shows we are at the threshold of a new cycle of “the expansive healer,” or “opportunities to mentor and be mentored.” The last cycle began in late Aquarius in 2009, and this one begins a new one at 14 Aries which lasts through 2036 when they meet again at 17 Gemini. This is an important cycle which will help us “heal into our Higher Self” at crucial points over the next 13 years.
The Sun conjunct Saturn happens each year. The merging of the Great Light with the planet of spiritual understanding leading to wisdom sets a new cycle of “enlightened worldly power” into motion. This illuminates the structural lessons for the following year, showing us responsibilities to be accepted, and fears to be cast off. This is the third and last Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius until mid-century.
The first Sun/Saturn conjunction was in 2021 at 5 Aquarius. The second was in 2022 at 16 Aquarius. This one is at 28 Aquarius. These are the three great “illuminated structure” points of the next 20 year Aquarian dominated era which will be triggered by future transits.
All Saturn events, whether transiting aspects to transiting Saturn or transiting Saturn aspects to our charts, require that we demonstrate Saturn’s virtues of patience, discipline, patience, maturity, patience, understanding, and yes, patience. Because this conjunction falls in the final face of Aquarius, be thoughtful as you examine what needs to be managed in a mindful way, always with an eye to gratitude for the things which help us grow safely into our purpose.
As all of these conjunctions occur in the next 10 days, remember that Spirit is manifesting through the inner planets, showing us enlightened Saturn, compassionate Neptune, and signs and signals from Pluto. As these all fall in the latter degrees of their signs, any planets or points we have late in any sign will be profoundly affected in multiple ways. Have fun!
