The Merg­ing of the Milky Way and Androm­e­da Galax­ies – in about 4 Bil­lion Years!

Whence – Where – Whither

Part 3 – Whither

As I not­ed in the pre­vi­ous post­ings, cer­tain plan­e­tary influ­ences that have been in place are giv­ing way to new ones; but oth­er star­ry mod­u­la­tions will remain in effect for some time to come as well.

Sat­urn has moved into Capri­corn where it will remain until 2020, and Uranus will be in Tau­rus start­ing in May 2018, (though it will ret­ro­grade back into Aries for a few months, from Novem­ber 2018 until March 2019), and then move into Gem­i­ni in 2026. With Plu­to still in Capri­corn too, this means that we will have shift­ed to a much more “Earth­ly Ele­men­tal” peri­od for the next few years. The days of mak­ing real are upon us now; from the per­son­al to the world­ly, the time for The­o­riz­ing-Tem­po­riz­ing is over. What mat­ters now is what works, what is more use­ful or nec­es­sary, or in Spir­i­tu­al terms, what is more Inte­gral, Inte­gra­tive and Holistic.

Plu­to:
Look­ing at the Hier­ar­chy of plan­e­tary Lords we find that Plu­to will be in Capri­corn until 2024, and with it the end of an age con­tin­ues to unwind around us all. The very struc­tures we depend upon to uphold and main­tain our way of life are under­go­ing the great­est chal­lenge they have ever faced in 240 years. Though it would seem to many (if not most), that the prob­lems we face are “out there” in these Insti­tu­tions, (cul­tur­al, eco­nom­ic, polit­i­cal), as always, the real spir­i­tu­al chal­lenge is laid before each of us, in our minds, hearts and wills. What we seek to pre­serve and what we must change can­not hap­pen “out there”; it will not, it can­not hap­pen until it hap­pens in each of us as indi­vid­u­als; and then we must join togeth­er in mean­ing-filled lives, form­ing one anoth­er into ever greater wholes or spaces of self-real­iza­tion. We will be the change that is com­ing, we will indi­vid­u­al­ly and col­lec­tive­ly trans­form and restore our com­mu­ni­ties, cul­tures and institutions.

Nep­tune:
Nep­tune remains in its own sign of Pisces until 2026, (2011–2026), bring­ing to bear the most extra­or­di­nary influ­ences of Inspi­ra­tion and Spir­i­tu­al­i­ty, stir­ring Faith and Dreams, and pro­vid­ing a renewed foun­tain-source for Art and Imag­i­na­tion just as it did dur­ing its pre­vi­ous Pis­cean sojourn from 1848–1862. But because of this, the Veil between the Hier­ar­chies or Planes of Exis­tence are much thin­ner now, and we need to be more care­ful to remain cen­tered so as not be swept away by enchant­ments; we need to be wise and cen­tered, or risk being swept into the swirl of false visions and the false promis­es of those claim­ing to be inspired. You must not stum­ble through the self-delu­sion­al hall of mir­rors that are part of the low­er Astral Plane. Nep­tune is Inspi­ra­tional and trans-Dimen­sion­al, it is the way you move from one lev­el of con­scious­ness to anoth­er, mov­ing beyond the bound­aries and bor­ders of an old Real­i­ty-Struc­ture into a more encom­pass­ing expe­ri­ence of the Greater Real­i­ty. But that means it can also lead those who may lack enough under­stand­ing, love or will into Astral Fan­tasies that may well turn into Night­mares. Remem­ber, Psy­chic abil­i­ties and phe­nom­e­na do not equate to nor indi­cate Spir­i­tu­al devel­op­ment what­so­ev­er. The path of Light is paved with Wis­dom, Love and a Cen­tered Will.

Uranus:
Uranus by May will have moved into Tau­rus, and will remain there until 2026, bring­ing upheavals and rev­e­la­tions to the hier­ar­chy of val­ues in your world. As in any plan­et mov­ing from Fire to Earth will indi­cate, the elic­i­ta­tion of New Ideas for the past 7 years will now give way to the neces­si­ty of fold­ing these reformed or new ideas into ever-more resilient Real­i­ty Struc­tures. Old val­ue-forms will be chal­lenged, but the essence or truth of what is good or what is beau­ti­ful, well you know, that nev­er real­ly changes. The old forms and for­mu­la­tions must change to free the truth with­in, the ever­last­ing Val­ues must be freed from these worn-out bod­ies. Beau­ty and Love are found in motion, in Life that is Spir­it, and that is why these forms must pass so that Spir­it may enter new ones.

Sat­urn:
Sat­urn in Capri­corn means that we have three major plan­ets mov­ing through Earth now, with Nep­tune pro­vid­ing a (prob­a­bly very use­ful) counterpoint/counterbalance from that most watery Water Sign, Pisces. The tests of the world have move on to the Earth plane; for one and all we have moved into the Test of Respon­si­bil­i­ty, the Test of Self-Fulfillment.

Jupiter:
Jupiter is in Water too now, but will enter Sagit­tar­ius in Novem­ber 2018, then Capri­corn in 2019. At the end of 2020, as Sat­urn moves into Aquar­ius for the next few years, so will Jupiter enter Aquar­ius too, and we will expe­ri­ence some­thing we have not had since 1842.

The 20-year cycle of con­junc­tions of Jupiter and Sat­urn will “tran­si­tion” from Earth into Air Signs. This is called the Great Muta­tion, one of the prin­ci­pal “time-keep­ing” cycles of Astrol­o­gy, and is anoth­er mark­er of our mov­ing into a brand-new age, (in fact some are look­ing to this as sig­nal­ing our defin­i­tive entrance into the “Age of Aquarius”).

We have been in a 20-year series of con­junc­tions in Earth signs since 1842, and we enter this next series of Air con­junc­tions in 2020, and that will con­tin­ue until 2219. The last time we were in these Air Con­junc­tions was 1226–1425, which brought about what is now known as the Renaissance…may it be so once again.
