Dawnings

I am currently reading Brainwave, by Poul Anderson. His Science Fiction masterpiece was first published in 1953, that is 53 years ago! Hhhmmmm?

In Poul’s intriguing story, the world is experiencing a sudden quickening. He poses the possibility that we are not so much entering a period of ‘photon belt’ or ‘Golden Age of Light’. Rather, that we are being released from a quarantine restriction that has limited the evolutionary thrust of the human (and other) kingdoms for a long period of time. Presumably this was to enable us to experience evolution slowly, carefully and in full consciousness. Now, we are leading up to Graduation. What a fascinating theory!

Fast forward into our present day, we are experiencing the solar village square dancing. There is a Grand Cross, or Square, of energies holding us in a pattern. In fact, there are two.

People are feeling heavy, stuck, and tense. Our bodies ache, there is a general experience of inertia, of being unable to act or move of our own free will or accord.

I wonder about the effects of this prolonged Fixed Grand Cross.

Perhaps we have a friendly parental Universe that is timing this release like a Grand Marketing exercise:

‘So you do not want to change? You want to stay the same? You are reluctant to come to grips with issues and concerns that really need to be addressed? You are unwilling, or unable, to take action, or even make decisions to change? Okay, stay there!’

It is a rather Human-ccentric view of life. Yet there may well be a tiny seed of Truth here.

Our (Humanity’s) time as the dominating Kingdom upon this planetary world, is drawing to its natural close. Towards the end of the previous Age in which the Animal Kingdom dominated (dinosaurs etc), much devastation occurred . Our ability to read the Past to understand the Present is still in infancy. Yet we CAN see cycles, and patterns.

Now, we may well be facing the reality that the earth, and indeed, the Universe is vast, and far greater than we can begin to imagine. If we are to take our place with consciousness and dignity in this Grander Universe, then we need be aware of our place in a multiplicity of Life. Are we being ‘meeked’?

Astrologically, this is a time to become aware of the areas of our own lives that scream for change. In some ways, being held in this matrix is a mirroring prison. We can see clearly, that we are indeed, a species that yearns to be free to flow with Life. We seek to liberate our souls for greater and more conscious and active expression in this, our world of nature, and of dense matter. We do not function well under continual pressure and restriction.

Pain is a warning system that indicates stress and strain.
The Human Kingdom is hurting. Commiserations.

Thank the Heavens for the Sun in Gemini! At least we can communicate, share our thoughts and experiences, and at least, theoretically, make choices!

Ahead in the heavens, Grand Trines will be helping us to rise above it all and release the pent up energy in creative ideas (air), inspiration (fire) and water(feeling and emotions). Indeed, by the time of the Full Moon on June 12th, we will be able to experience our emotional selves with greater freedom and sentience.

Blessings.
