It’s not very often that we have three major planetary geometry configurations so early in a sun cycle, but with this 2013 Virgo Sun Cycle, that’s exactly what we’ve got.
Today, Sunday, August 25, 2013, two of these three configurations are at their most exact at 1:15p PDT.
The first is an Earth Grand Trine, composed of the Moon in Taurus, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo, and Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn, with planets on each point within 6 orb of each other at 3°-9° of their respective signs. Though it is conjunct Mercury, the Sun is just outside my preferred 6° maximum orb.
The Earth Grand Trine gives us an opportunity to get in touch with how we feel (through the Moon in Taurus) about our lifestyle resources in the face of the reality check being provided by the Sun-Mercury conjunction and the transformation of our societal-cultural standards for success and status occurring through Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn. As the world’s old designations of success no longer ring true, we are having to define success newly for ourselves.
Even though the changes occurring on this level are bigger than you, you begin this re-definition process by figuring out what success means to you now as an individual. This particular Earth Grand Trine configuration allows you to contribute in the creation of the new collective definitions of success through your own re-definition of success for yourself, first on an emotional level then adjusting your mindset to align with your new emotional truth about success.
The second is a Golden Rectangle, composed of the Moon in Taurus, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo, Saturn in Scorpio, and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces, all within a less than 4° orb of each other at 2°-6° of their respective signs. They form trines, sextiles, and oppositions with each other to create a rectangle shape.
In this Golden Rectangle, we are also being asked to get in touch how we feel about our lifestyle and the workability of our lives again, only this time we are also encouraged to feel our way through the creation of plans and structures for our dreams. By focusing and disciplining ourselves through making decisive choices, we are able to start laying the foundation for our next life steps.
This Golden Rectangle step is important because it calls upon you to really take ownership and responsibility for your life and the path you choose to travel to progress it. It is your opportunity to plot your course for how the energy of the Earth Grand Trine gets to be expressed and made manifest through you.
You – yes, you being you truly and fully – can help define new standards for success of all of us!
Some people would argue that today’s configurations would be part of another Earth-Water “Star of David” configuration, but as I mentioned in the Virgo E-Zine, due to the fact that Jupiter – which would complete the configuration – is at 12° Cancer, I consider it too far outside orb to make the Water Grand Trine component of the “Star” work.
Yet even though “The Star” doesn’t occur today in my perspective, it doesn’t diminish the effects of these Earth Grand Trine and Golden Rectangle configurations on you or the world. These are some very profound energies which will indeed be the seeds for a new collective standards of status and success to be established.
The third of the three major configurations are the Cardinal Grand Cross that is at its most exact tomorrow, August 26, 2013. In this configuration, Uranus Retrograde in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Venus in Libra, and Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn all square and oppose each other in cardinal energy known for its initiative and assertive energy. There will be plenty more about that in the next post.
In the meantime, make the most of the opportunity to get in touch with what success now means to you – felt in your heart, demonstrated through the reality of your daily life, and manifest into the practical reality of your life.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
