Current Configurations

by Henry Seltzer

The Sagittarius-Gemini Full Moon of May 31st () that precedes the current month trines Mars and conjuncts Jupiter, making for an intellectually active time and setting the tone for the next two weeks.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 8th (), is powerful, with the Moon conjunct Uranus and the Sun opposing Jupiter. The Saturn – Neptune opposition is coming to its last exact pass and is aspected by the Sun and Moon, so this last quarter phase represents a paradoxical and intellectually charged period of time. Although inspired by our dreams we are stymied by the conflict between desire and actualization, and the gap leads to wisdom. The Sun also trines Chiron, so we may choose to see our past woundings in a different light at this time, and attempt to gracefully transcend them.

The Gemini New Moon of Thursday, June 14th (), is another powerful lunation, coming at the 24th degree of the sign. The Sabian Symbol for this degree casts some light on our present condition: Children skating on ice. This is the nature of the times that we in the West find ourselves in currently, fraught with uncertainty, but still intent on having our fun. This New Moon squares Uranus, bringer of unexpected events and cosmic epiphany, and also closely aspects Neptune and Saturn, drawing ever nearer to an exact opposition. As we have been saying for months now, Saturn with Neptune represents both the dark despair at never realizing our fondest wishes for ourselves and our world, and as well the opportunity to rise above the seeming paradox into the bliss of a new order, one in which we can concretize our ideals of spiritual union without losing ourselves and our physical plane presence in the process.

Mercury retrogrades on June 15th () for a period of slightly more than five weeks, counting the shadow. The direct motion is on July 9th, and the original degree of Cancer is reached once more on July 24th.

The Summer Solstice of June 21st () and subsequent First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 22nd (), form the nexus of another powerful turning point, when Saturn opposes Neptune almost exactly, and Mars trines Pluto. The Sun – Moon square also aspects Pluto, with the Sun nearly opposite, and Venus opposes Chiron exactly. The indications are once more present for a time of tension and transformational change.

The Cancer – Capricorn Full Moon () that comes at the end of the month, on June 30th, features a Venus – Saturn conjunction and also takes place at the height of the Mercury retrograde period, as Mercury sextiles Mars in Taurus. This will therefore be a time of slowed responses and mechanical and communicative break-down, but will be a good one for providing plenty of food for thought, grist for the mill of our process of growth during these climactic times.
