Sun Enters Libra (September 22, 2022)

We are all related”

The Ancient Wis­dom is found­ed upon a very sim­ple yet pro­found under­stand­ing of Cre­ation. From the inner­most micro­cosm to the most encom­pass­ing macro­cosm, through­out all of the hier­ar­chies of Cre­ation, from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal par­ti­cles such as pro­tons, elec­trons, neu­trons, on up through the ele­ments, mol­e­cules, organ­isms, plan­ets, stars, and the galax­ies (and beyond), all of these are the phys­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tions or the body of the One. In effect, the whole of Cre­ation is a liv­ing organ­ism, and at the root or heart of every sin­gle mote of Cre­ation there is what I call the “Spark of the Divine”, the shin­ing pres­ence of the One; at the heart of every­thing is a Mon­ad of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness. That means every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation is Divine, because every sin­gle one is a pre­cious dew­drop of the One.

The Tri­ad form­ing each Mon­ad at the root of every­thing is Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness, and this means that all of Cre­ation is Spir­it, that all of Cre­ation is Alive, and that all of Cre­ation is Con­scious. If we were to try to sum up what is behind or holds all these three as One it is quite sim­ply this, that hold­ing and form­ing the whole of Cre­ation is the Divine Love of the One, which is at the heart of each and every one of us too.

Today we have reached a very spe­cial moment in the Astro­log­i­cal year; every year at this time we enter the sec­ond half of the Zodi­ac, and some­where in your very own chart and for­ev­er shap­ing and guid­ing your life too, are these mean­ings and mes­sages known as Libra. Just as every­thing is formed by a com­plex inter­weav­ing of intra and inter­re­la­tion­ships, of greater and less­er Ener­gy-Fields, which by their inter­sec­tions form what we expe­ri­ence as Spir­it-Mat­ter in every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, it is equal­ly so that all these par­ti­cles, mol­e­cules, organ­isms, plan­ets, and stars are formed and shaped by their rela­tion­ships with one another.

Both inward­ly and out­ward­ly, the whole of Cre­ation is a com­plex web of weav­ings and com­bi­na­tions of the many Ener­gy-Forms that are the One made man­i­fest. Because of the essen­tial and inte­gral har­mo­ny in all the many hier­ar­chies of the One, so that “as above, so below”, we humans are most cer­tain­ly made human by our com­plex web of rela­tion­ships that we cre­ate with all of Cre­ation, and espe­cial­ly with one anoth­er as humans. These “cre­ations by rela­tion­ship” are the Sacred Realm of Libra; at this time of the year, and wher­ev­er Libra is found in your chart, we hon­or this Holy Space that we form so that we may live and love and become a bet­ter human.

The sto­ry of Spir­it is Cre­ation; and we as human, as self-aware cre­ators, we are the mak­ers of these sacred spaces of our rela­tion­ships. Each of us has formed and been formed by our own sacred and indi­vid­ual space, which of course has been shaped and guid­ed since our birth by many influ­ences of the envi­ron­ment, and most espe­cial­ly by our ear­ly rela­tion­ships with Father/Mother, Brother/Sister, and so on. But as we grow, as we begin to become more self-aware it becomes our joy and respon­si­bil­i­ty to cre­ate what I call our “Third Spaces”, the spaces of our rela­tion­ship with all with whom we journey.

Just as we are a host of a field of ener­gy-forms indi­vid­u­al­ly, so too are the rela­tion­ships that we make. They are “fields of fields” of Ener­gy-Forms, of ideas and actions, of feel­ings and intu­itions and love, that shape, guide, and hold our expe­ri­ences of one anoth­er in this beau­ti­ful dance of the Spir­it we make with one anoth­er. And what is most impor­tant for us is to remem­ber is this, that the root prin­ci­ple guid­ing our expe­ri­ence with one anoth­er and all of Cre­ation is Divine Love. We are made of love, and we are here to love one another.

That means that we should under­stand and con­tin­u­ous­ly strive to make our new­ly formed space in Libra, the ener­gy-field we are co-cre­at­ing, that we make this sacred space as mutu­al­ly mean­ing­ful and ful­fill­ing for each of us as pos­si­ble. For this is the heart and soul of Cre­ation, that we are ones of the One, and we are here to grow; and we can only grow by join­ing togeth­er by love, and so be the very means to help­ing one anoth­er to be and become more than we ever could imag­ine on our own. We have been made by one anoth­er; and we are only here because of one anoth­er, and our great­est illu­sion that we must strive to over­come is our false sense of sep­a­ra­tion from one another.

We can nev­er be sep­a­rate as we are all part of one anoth­er; we are formed through and by one anoth­er. All the thoughts, feel­ings, and actions that we expe­ri­ence in this space, this spir­i­tu­al space of our cre­ations, is where we share and strug­gle, we love and laugh, and strive to be bet­ter, and this is what makes us who we are. These expe­ri­ences live on in us, and we in them, because we cre­ate one anoth­er, and we can­not be human with­out these gifts of the spir­it that we share with one another.

At the heart of Cre­ation is Alche­my, which is the com­bin­ing of one ener­gy-form with anoth­er; and this Cen­tral Fire of Spir­it has cre­at­ed all the Realms and Hosts of the Cos­mos. Libra is the Realm of Becom­ing; every rela­tion­ship holds this truth, that at the heart of Spir­it is the desire to grow and become. And the means and dri­ving force of the Human Sto­ry of Spir­it is forged by all our expe­ri­ences with one another.

It is here in the realm of Libra that we will grow, it is how we will become bet­ter humans, to be ful­ly awak­ened humans, because we join togeth­er for our mutu­al ben­e­fit and in our love for one another.

Libra is the holy place where the promise of our future is made and met.

We came from the One with love.

We came with love, and we are here to love one another.

And that is why we say, “We are all related,

And now Our hearts are one.”

Sun Enters Virgo (August 22, 2022)

Johfra Boss­chart- The Vision of Her­mes Trismegistus

The Tem­ple of Attunement

The great­est teach­ers and thinkers have pon­dered a ques­tion through­out the ages, “What do we tru­ly need to be hap­py?”. That is, what is the most pre­cious gift that sup­ports all the oth­er “gifts of Life and Spir­it”? What do the wise ones and teach­ers answer when asked, “Of all the gifts of the spir­it, which is the most sub­lime?” With one voice they will say that the great­est gift, the most pre­cious qual­i­ty with­out which no oth­er thing or any expe­ri­ence can be tru­ly enjoyed is sim­ply this, the great­est gift of all is “to be at peace”.

Then the ques­tion remains, where do we find such peace? Again, the Ancient Teach­ings and the Wis­dom Keep­ers know this too, that there is a spe­cial place which offers this most sub­lime feel­ing of peace. But it is not some­where “out there”, you can­not get there by plane, train, or auto­mo­bile. No, this spe­cial place is found with­in your­self, in your “high­er self”, or more tru­ly, it is your high­er self.

For the Truth is the whole Uni­verse is formed as an inte­gral Hier­ar­chy, from the most ethe­re­al and Spir­i­tu­al down to the dens­est phys­i­cal planes. What is behind every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation is a mon­ad of spir­it, the spark of the Divine. And this divine part of you is most espe­cial­ly expe­ri­enced in those pre­cious moments of Uncon­di­tion­al Love and Accep­tance, in your acts of Lov­ing Kind­ness and Devo­tion, and in that spe­cial sense of being in that place of peace because you are at one with the One with­in you.

At this time of year, and always and for­ev­er present some­where in your very own chart too, you should bow your head and raise your voice in praise for the gifts of grace, ser­vice, and humil­i­ty that flow from the sacred space we enter called Vir­go. After the stretch­ing and striv­ing of Leo, after you were inspired by the encounter with your truer “self” in Can­cer, you had to fol­low your heart, to take a chance and Act and Lead and Love, to expand your per­for­mances of self-real­iza­tions, after all of that there comes this spe­cial time, this space of Vir­go, for your adjust­ment, align­ment, and attunement.

You are a work in progress, and though your High­er Self nev­er “left” what you call “heav­en”, the hier­ar­chy that is Cre­ation means that you are formed by many vehi­cles, many “bod­ies”, all of which stand at their very own sta­tions of spir­i­tu­al devel­op­ment too. What you are here for, and what is the whole pur­pose behind our human jour­ney, is for you to become a more com­plete human. And to do this you work with and through all your vehi­cles, with the phys­i­cal body, the emo­tion­al body, the men­tal body, and the high­er tri­ad of spir­it, you work with them all so that you might lift them up and your­self too. And it is by this, what is known as “the Great Work”, it is by this ded­i­ca­tion and devo­tion that you will even­tu­al­ly become a whole and com­plete human being.

Yes, it is in Vir­go that we return to the ele­ment of Earth. After we have burned with the fires of Inspi­ra­tion in Leo, now we must see what works. By Vir­go, we have to work on how we can do bet­ter, how we can be bet­ter, and how we are here to help one anoth­er. We move into a time of tran­si­tion as one sea­son ends and anoth­er approach­es, and we use the gift of our fac­ul­ty of dis­cern­ment so that we might deter­mine what is more wor­thy and true; we lis­ten to the “voice of the silence” so that we might be guid­ed in our actions to help and to heal; and we fol­low the path of the lone­ly ones whose hearts are filled with love and joy because there is no high­er pur­pose or call­ing except Ser­vice and Sacrifice.

In Vir­go we enter the “Tem­ple of the Soul” and seek to under­stand why we must endure these tests and tri­als that bring us suf­fer­ing. We are told that these tests are brought to us by the law of cause and effect, so that we are the very instru­ments of our own spir­i­tu­al awak­en­ing. We accept that our tribu­la­tions as the means by which we will even­tu­al­ly let go of a less­er way of being and rise into our glo­ry. We suf­fer because we do not under­stand; and by break­ing our attach­ments to the illu­sion­ary, we see the way of Light and of Truth. We under­stand that we are here for one pur­pose, and that these tri­als and tribu­la­tions forge our under­stand­ing, and they lift our hearts and minds, and bring us to our place of peace so that we might abide in the lov­ing pres­ence at the heart of all Creation.

The ancient tem­ples that held and guid­ed the ini­ti­ates of long ago are no longer here. But the ever­last­ing tem­ple of spir­it resides with­in you. In Vir­go you enter your inner tem­ple, the Tem­ple of Attune­ment, so that you may find your way to the path of Truth and Beau­ty and be at peace.

The way to Peace is the path to the One, and you will find this path when you hold in your heart this way of Truth:

As I walk, as I walk

The Uni­verse is walk­ing with me

In beau­ty, it walks before me

In beau­ty, it walks behind me

In beau­ty, it walks below me

In beau­ty, it walks above me

Beau­ty is on every side

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

Liv­ing in Beauty

Lov­ing in Beauty

May you walk in Beauty

May you live in Beauty

For all your days

May you be at Peace

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

It is done.

2022–7‑31 Radio Show Transcript — The Hierarchy of Planetary Influences and their Cycles

Tran­script of Radio Show: The Hier­ar­chy of Plan­e­tary Influ­ences and their Cycles, Jupiter to Plu­to (7/31/2022)

(If you wish to lis­ten to the show instead, here is the link on BlogTalk or Apple Pod­casts)

I thought it could be use­ful if we stepped back from what we have been doing over the past many shows, that is our look­ing at just one, two or three of the major plan­e­tary cycles, and con­sid­er more of the entire hier­ar­chy of plan­ets and their inter­sect­ing orbits from Jupiter to Plu­to. It is cer­tain­ly most impor­tant to look at the “big three”, Uranus, Nep­tune, and Plu­to. But by includ­ing the fuller range of influ­ences as brought to bear with the addi­tion of Sat­urn and Jupiter, I believe we will find a deep­er appre­ci­a­tion and under­stand­ing of what I have called “The Dance of the Planets”.

What I and many Astrologers do is con­sid­er the com­bi­na­tion of influ­ences from the var­i­ous cat­e­gories of plan­ets, and their var­i­ous inter­weav­ing cycles with one anoth­er, we take these to form a more com­plete pic­ture of the influ­ences we expe­ri­ence here on Earth. We cer­tain­ly look at each plan­et as hav­ing its own realm of mean­ing and influ­ence, but it is also true that just as we are shaped and formed by our expe­ri­ences with one anoth­er, the plan­ets and their mes­sages are shaped and formed by their inter­re­la­tion­ships with one anoth­er too.

Now, we can sort or arrange the plan­ets in a num­ber of ways, but what seems most mean­ing­ful for our pur­pos­es is to arrange them by their indi­vid­ual orbital peri­ods from the longest to the short­est, and then to group them into three types or cat­e­gories of influ­ence with regards to their orbital rela­tion­ships and by their syn­od­ic cycles, which is the peri­od from one con­junc­tion to the next con­junc­tion with one another.

Start­ing with the out­er­most plan­ets, which we will type as LONG WAVE TRANSFORMATIONAL, we have Plu­to, Nep­tune, and Uranus. This group­ing gives us the rela­tion­ship pair­ings of Nep­tune with Plu­to form­ing a con­junc­tion rough­ly every 492 years, then Uranus with Nep­tune at 171 years, and final­ly Uranus with Plu­to at 127 years. Giv­en their longer syn­od­ic cycles, we have observed that they rep­re­sent or influ­ence Trans­for­ma­tion­al or Evo­lu­tion­ary pat­terns of human history.

The next set of plan­e­tary pairs we call the MID WAVE CRYSTALLIZING, and they are formed by Sat­urn align­ing with these longer Trans­for­ma­tion­al plan­ets. Here we have Sat­urn with Uranus at 45 years, Sat­urn with Nep­tune at 36 years, and Sat­urn with Plu­to at 33 years. This set of com­bi­na­tions con­cerns the dynam­ic inter­re­la­tion­ship between con­ti­nu­ity and change, the nec­es­sary strug­gle between the con­serv­ing and pre­serv­ing nature of Sat­urn coun­ter­point­ed to the Spir­i­tu­al Imper­a­tive for Growth and Change held by the out­er three planets.

The final set of plan­e­tary pairs we call the SHORT WAVE GROWTH set, which is formed by Jupiter with both the Trans­for­ma­tion­al out­er three and with the avatar of Order held by Sat­urn, and these range from Jupiter with Sat­urn at 20 years, Jupiter with Uranus at 14 years, Jupiter with Nep­tune at 13 years and Jupiter with Plu­to at 12 years.

Long Wave Transformational
Pluto/Neptune

For the Long Wave Trans­for­ma­tion­al pair­ings, the 492-year cycle of Plu­to and Nep­tune holds the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between the Will and Uncon­di­tion­al Love, between Bound­aries that form our Sacred Spaces and the ulti­mate One­ness of Spir­it and Real­i­ty. Each time Plu­to and Nep­tune form a con­junc­tion, one can see the end and begin­ning of how we form our­selves into our spaces with one anoth­er, and those dates are: 83BCE, 411CE, 905, 1398, and 1891.

And then, as they form their series of aspects with one anoth­er after each con­junc­tion, we see the wax­ing square and the Oppo­si­tion, (also the semi-square and SesquiSquare) and then in reverse order back to the next con­junc­tion, as form­ing crit­i­cal moments in the strug­gle for bal­ance between our exer­cise of our Will coun­ter­point­ed to our expe­ri­ence of Love.

Neptune/Uranus
The next pair­ing by syn­od­ic peri­od is the 171-year cycle of Nep­tune and Uranus, and they hold the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between Uncon­di­tion­al Love and Freer Minds, or Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty ver­sus Communality.

The dates for their series of con­junc­tions or the begin­ning of their cycle of rela­tion­ship were: 1478, 1650, 1821 and 1993. And then just like with Pluto/Neptune, the sub­se­quent crit­i­cal moments in their cycle of rela­tion­ship shape and form our human expe­ri­ence of how we rec­on­cile our need to be Free yet equal­ly Inter­de­pen­dent upon one another.

Pluto/Uranus
The final pair by syn­od­ic peri­od length, and of the pure­ly Trans­for­ma­tion­al group, is the 127-year cycle of Plu­to and Uranus, which holds the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between Will and Free­dom, or Sacred Space and Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. The dates for their con­junc­tions were: 1455, 1597, 1710, 1850 and 1965. Again, we can see this play­ing out over the course of their aspects between one con­junc­tion to the next as pro­vid­ing mean­ing and guid­ance for how we must strive to bal­ance our indi­vid­ual Free­dom with the neces­si­ty to not infringe upon the Sacred Space of another.

Mid Wave Crystallizing
But let us now turn and look at the set of align­ments that forge a more focused set of oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges in our jour­ney of Spir­i­tu­al Awak­en­ing, and to the two which are pre­sid­ing over our cur­rent sit­u­a­tion, and these are the series of align­ments of Sat­urn with the Trans­for­ma­tion­al plan­ets, and the Jupiter pair­ings with them and Sat­urn as well.

The set of align­ments of Sat­urn with the three Out­er and Trans­for­ma­tion­al plan­ets car­ries the mean­ings and mes­sages of our Spir­i­tu­al Awak­en­ing brought about by the Alchem­i­cal Trans­for­ma­tions when these Evo­lu­tion­ary Forces meet with the Struc­tures and Objec­tive Realms held by Sat­urn. The result is often dis­cord and clash­es with these Evo­lu­tion­ary agents as they inter­act with the con­ser­v­a­tive nature of Saturn.

Saturn/Uranus
The first of these is the 45-year cycle of Sat­urn with Uranus, which holds the dynam­ic con­fronta­tion of what I would call the Prin­ci­ple of Order ver­sus Freer Minds, or we might say Tra­di­tion ver­sus Inno­va­tion. Their most recent con­junc­tions were 1852, 1897, 1942 and 1988, and at each con­junc­tion a new impulse was released in this dynam­ic dance of the old ways and the New.

And here we find our­selves in the last major aspect of that 1988 cycle, which is the wan­ing square, and which is guid­ing us here in 2021 and 2022. The pre­vi­ous sig­nif­i­cant moments from that 1988 seed­ing were the wax­ing square of 1999–2000, the oppo­si­tion of 2008-10, and now the wan­ing square of 2021–2022. Whether you look at these turn­ing points through a Polit­i­cal, Eco­nom­ic or Cul­tur­al lens, you can cer­tain­ly see how what­ev­er was released in 1988 came to a cri­sis or turn­ing point in the year 2000. And that this was fol­lowed by the oppo­si­tion or “Full Moon” rev­e­la­tion of 2008-10; and that was most cer­tain­ly a cli­mac­tic moment in which the forces of progress were so clear­ly revealed and opposed by the forces of fear and dark­ness, and this strug­gle played out dra­mat­i­cal­ly in our social and polit­i­cal polar­iza­tions of the time.

Which brings us to our moment now, which is the wan­ing square of 2021–22. The wax­ing square, like 1999–2000, is a turn­ing point or cri­sis of action; it is a choos­ing between one action or anoth­er, the need to make a com­mit­ment to one thing, or one form or action, to one way of being and not anoth­er. The wan­ing square is once again a cri­sis or turn­ing point, but more in the realm of ideas, thoughts, beliefs, or mean­ings. It takes as it “ref­er­ence point” what­ev­er was revealed at the “Full Moon”, which here was the oppo­si­tion 2008-10, which laid out for all to see the dif­fer­ing mean­ings and mes­sages of that moment. And now, giv­en where we find our­selves in 2021–22, we face a peri­od when we need to choose what we believe, to think through what is true ver­sus false, what is real and what is not real, and so we sort our­selves by the divi­sion between our beliefs, our facts, and our truths.

The oppor­tu­ni­ty (and chal­lenge) of any wan­ing square, like the one we have in 2021 and 2022, is that it brings what is called the “gift of sev­er­ance”, and it calls upon us, it asks of us, to let go of what we must so that we might con­tin­ue to grow; it is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to turn from being held and bound by a neg­a­tive­ly root­ed past, to turn from the husk of dead spir­it and embrace the liv­ing spir­it of love. All of us need to reject any cir­cum­scribed and shad­owed way of think­ing and being, that we leave behind our more instinc­tu­al roots that divide us from one anoth­er, because they bind us by fear and not by hope and love.

But in addi­tion to this Saturn/Uranus De-Crys­tal­liz­ing moment we have one more align­ment that is shap­ing our real­i­ty and deci­sions, and it is one of the final set of align­ments formed by the Short-Wave Growth group­ing, and that is of Jupiter com­bin­ing with either the Evo­lu­tion­ary or the Sat­urn­ian placements.

Short Wave Growth
It seems quite time­ly or for­tu­itous, because what we are expe­ri­enc­ing is the next align­ment of Jupiter with Sat­urn. Their 20-year cycle artic­u­lates the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between Truth or Mean­ing (Jupiter) and Order or Man­i­fes­ta­tion (Sat­urn). We are at a very impor­tant moment in their cycle of rela­tion­ship because it is the first sig­nif­i­cant align­ment in their cycle fol­low­ing the his­toric con­junc­tion in Aquar­ius at the end of 2020.

Jupiter/Saturn
That con­junc­tion Astrologers call The Great Muta­tion, as it began a new series of Jupiter/Saturn con­junc­tions in the Air Signs, sig­nal­ing the end of the pre­vi­ous 200-year cycle of Earth con­junc­tions, and the start of a new Airy Cycle of Jupiter and Sat­urn that will hap­pen for the next 200 years. It was and is a spir­i­tu­al seed that was plant­ed, and it her­ald­ed a turn­ing point; and it was a sign for many that a New Age has begun. And now we have reached a crit­i­cal moment in the birth of a New Age.

The first sig­nif­i­cant aspect in any cycle rela­tion­ship is the wax­ing semi-square or 45 degrees, and this is what we are expe­ri­enc­ing in 2022 into 2023. It was exact on July 21st, and will repeat on Sep­tem­ber 21st, with the final exact align­ment be on March 21st, 2023, but its influ­ence is present dur­ing the entire­ty of this year and into 2023.

Remem­ber, a con­junc­tion is like a New Moon, or very much like the plant­i­ng of a seed. After that begin­ning, for the next many days, weeks, months, or years (depend­ing upon the length of the entire cycle), that first phase takes place sym­bol­i­cal­ly “beneath the sur­face”, like a seed send­ing down roots and equal­ly send­ing up ten­drils to the sur­face. For some greater or less­er time, we must wait for the proof that some­thing has begun. And it is at the wax­ing semi-square that the new life appears vis­i­bly above the soil, it becomes appar­ent that some­thing has indeed “hap­pened”, and we see the first real “test” of this new form of life or being is now to be experienced.

Ide­al­ly, it can and should be a time of quick­en­ing, of mov­ing for­ward with greater urgency and exhil­a­ra­tion, with the joy and pow­er of new begin­nings. But this can also be a time when doubt or fear can rear up to hold back the new life. We must remem­ber that it is always fear that brings about pain. At this crit­i­cal moment in the cycle of life, it may be the uncer­tain­ty regard­ing what­ev­er is this new way of being that leads or caus­es a neg­a­tive reac­tion; or it can be the siren song of the past that calls to return or stay in a more famil­iar time or space, and this too can hold back or lim­it the growth of new life.

The Liv­ing Spir­it is the ulti­mate Root of every­thing and every­one, and each and every par­ti­cle of this Uni­verse is shaped and guid­ed by the pur­pose behind the entire­ty of Cre­ation, which is to grow; and if we are to grow, if we are to be what we are, which is the liv­ing spir­it, we must lov­ing­ly embrace change. And if we are to grow, we must also move towards ever greater inclu­sive­ness and inte­gra­tion with the whole of Cre­ation, so that we might rise and become an ever more com­plete human in our Life of the One.

There is no way to know which way any­one will go; but there is no ques­tion which way we should go.

We should remem­ber, as it has been said before, “beat­en paths are for beat­en peo­ple”. We are here to make our way to the greater light, to live by a more encom­pass­ing love for one anoth­er and all of life on this plan­et. This is the way of Spir­it; this is the way of the One.

So, as this New Age begins, we are being asked to decide right now what will be the future that is com­ing? Will we stand for the future that is ulti­mate­ly des­tined to be?

We real­ly have no choice but to fol­low our hearts and lis­ten to the voice of the silence, to lis­ten for that qui­et, still pres­ence that lives in all our hearts and we will do what is lov­ing and kind and true.

It is quite sim­ply the way.

It is the way of Light and Truth and Love.

It is the Way of the One.

Astrological Musings — The Hierarchy of Planetary Influences and their Cycles, Jupiter to Pluto (July 31, 2022)

In my sixth show of 2022, I thought it would be help­ful if we step back from our focus upon the par­tic­u­lar align­ments of today and explain the hier­ar­chy of plan­e­tary cycles that form the inter­weav­ing Astro­log­i­cal con­di­tions that guide and inform our human history.
