From Krisy Martucci Astrology for Mindful Living 🤩🌙🌏🌟🪐🌠🌞🌀❤️
It’s really quite astounding, the amount of revealing, transformative energies occurring in the current astrology.
We are in the midst of a Venus retrograde, Mercury shadow retrograde, Eclipse season (all 3 activating the same degree – 9 Aries), a t square in the mutable signs (involving Jupiter, Orcus and Saturn which the eclipse is activating), Jupiter on a fixed “Royal” star Aldebaran, Neptune at the very last degree of Pisces, Mars still in its post retrograde shadow opposing Pholus, a grand water trine and Uranus conjunct the fixed “demon” star Algol (the worst reputation of the fixed stars). I mean really?
There is just so much happening that I really dont even know where to begin. So, if you feel like you have been “going through it” its very understandable and I am here to validate the crazy.
The first place to start is the fact that the mutables are really being activated.
The mutable signs, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius have very much to do with the mind; what we think, how we perceive, what we believe and why, our early life environment and condoning that shape our mindset, beliefs, perceptions, etc.
Jupiter is in Gemini, Saturn and Nessus are in Pisces, and Orcus (asteroid) is in Virgo. This creates tension, requiring change and creative solutions that ultimately encourages soul growth and evolution.
So, the question is; what has influenced and continues to influence your mindset, thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions?
With Saturn involved its really time to get real and honest about any illusions, delusions and blind spots we carry that create problems, suffering, self undoing’s and limitations in our lives. Nessus joining Saturn is about taking responsibility for understanding how our ancestral inheritances, conditioning and patterning influence our lives in negative ways, and committing to NOT operate from that past any longer.
Its important to note that the mutable signs offer us the ability to shape shift and change. Its malleable energy. The more curious we become and the more we are willing to embrace and embody the benefits and necessity of change, the better off we will be. It really is not the time to dig your heels into anything or hold onto things that are toxic.
Pisces, in HUGE focus, gives us the ability to tap into and connect with what physics calls the “Quantum Field” or what Christianity calls God.
Ive recently heard a Christian Mystic use the phrase “coming to God with holy, empty hands”. This, to me, is the epitome of Pisces. We are learning to soften and lean into listening to a voice and a guidance that goes so beyond the ego and all of the baggage the ego comes with.
The ego is the part of self that is born from feeling separate from the wisdom and protection of God and from life itself. Now life becomes about erecting survival defenses, coping mechanisms and strategies – all of this is unconscious of course. From our traumas, wounds and experiences, it becomes a dog-eat-dog world to be survived. The connection with God is no more – its severed when we habituate to the ego’s defenses, beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, ideas, strategies, perceptions – which are all based on past life
memories, familial conditioning, negative life experiences, wounds, traumas, etc. This is the human condition my friend, and we’re all in it.
What Pisces does is give us a way out.
Pisces is the sign of compassion, grace and God. Christ is the avatar of the Piscean Age that we are currently in. We also happen to be swimming knee deep in Piscean energy this year, with tons of planets traversing the sign.
It might help to understand what the cross actually is to better understand Christs role in offering healing and redemption to us.
The cross is actually the “cross of matter” in astrology – that is, the bone structure of the chart that lies within the circle. Its the ascendant, descendant, midheaven, and nadir points. This “anchors in” our soul for this incarnation. So, the cross represents our human incarnation in the material, 3d, physical world, where we predominantly use our 5 senses to navigate. The world becomes real and life gets meaning ONLY from what can be touched, tasted, felt, heard and seen when we operate solely from that limited level of 5 sense consciousness. This is limitation.
Christ, when facing his persecutors exclaimed “forgive them father, they know not what they do” acknowledging this human condition of limited 3d consciousness and then sought to rise above in his act of ascension from the cross (limited human thought and perception).
He raised his consciousness above the human-animal nature. He aligned with God, who surpasses all limited human thought and understanding. He rested in the Quantum Field, in Source, in that Holy, Empty Space where all potentials, possibilities and miracles happen – and, where true peace is possible.
Christ recognized how insane the egoic world was and knew he had to surrender and die to it and to his own ego as well in order to connect with God’s Mind, the Divine Mind. This is where his POWER and protection was, not with ego. That’s a false self generated from fear and survival, rather than God’s realm of LOVE and WISDOM. This is what keeps us looping generation after generation of pain and suffering and repeated karmic patterns.
With Nessus in Pisces conjunct Saturn, its truly time for each of us to die to the old self, the ego, to its old ways and to rise, to shine, to embody our Spirit and Divine Nature as given to us by God as we walk in the world.
That is what creates real change, each one of us recognizing who we really are underneath all the masks and costumes, and actually BEING that true self. Its the time to have the Courage (Aries) to be the change, to physically embody and walk in the Spirit-Self (Pisces).
AND we cannot do this if we are clinging to the past and old version of ourselves and life that are no longer serving our Spiritual unfoldment.
Pluto and Uranus are BOTH in fixed signs – indicating the need for change and breaking rooted and fixed habits and patterns in order to welcome the new. Pluto will bestow great power if only we could let go of our attachments that dont work in our favor anymore. Unhealthy clinging must be addressed.
Venus and Mercury in retrograde in BOTH Aries and Pisces are greatly reinforcing the process of ego death and rising, of breaking unhealthy patterns and mindsets, and of being reborn anew.
The grand trine of Vesta, Jupiter and Saturn/Nessus in water helps us to heal emotionally from the past, from things that steal our power, and that keep us in pain and suffering. We do this by getting real about our blind spots AND being willing to step up and take responsibility – to be accountable, to be an adult, to have integrity, to be willing to release anything (in sacrifice) in our lives that no longer serves or supports our highest Spiritual potential.
AND speaking of integrity, Jupiter on Aldebaran encourages us to be in absolute integrity, lest we have a fall from grace and suffer, reveling in ego strategies and the shadow self.
Uranus on Algol has us busy confronting and slaying demons.
The current eclipse season, like all eclipse seasons bring events that accelerate our souls growth, development and evolution and sometimes in not such nice ways. It can sometimes feel like a fire lit under your feet or a sledgehammer falling on your head to jar you awake. Other times it can be a blessed opportunity that seemingly falls into your lap. Either way, eclipses are eye openers and course changers.
Mars in Cancer (still in its post retrograde energy) opposing Pholus in Capricorn highlights how our conditioning impacts our lives. According to info generated by AI, Pholus “can cause people to experience unexpected and extreme situations that force them to outgrow old patterns. Pholus can also reveal undeveloped facets of a personality trait, which can lead to insight into shortcomings and a drive to make changes”.
Because these planets are activating the Cancer/Capircorn axis, this is about understanding the way our past, family, culture, and society have conditioned us in negative and harmful ways, while the other astrology helps to actually do something about it – to take some kind of action (Aries retrogrades and Eclipse) to remediate and redeem ourselves (Pisces), to birth a new chapter (Aries) , to write a new story (Sag – empty leg of mutable t -square).
Ive been at this astrology thing for quite a long time, AND I can say with confidence that this is the most intense, cathartic and life changing time as revealed in the stars, that I have seen maybe ever!
Alongside all the potential challenges, there is also immense support and divine grace on offer, BUT we really have to learn into it, we really have to work to connect to that because its LOUD and OBNOXIOUS out there. People are NOT on their best behavior, and one reason is that many dont know what is going on and so they arent using this time to heal and awaken, but to go deeper into their shadow and self-destruct. My advice is to “Grab onto Grace” as much as possible because its on offer!
I have heard so many use the term “spiritual warfare” recently and I can see that astrology very clearly.
It seems obvious that we are not fighting against flesh and blood (man to man) but against powers and principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places..
Our ego’s are at war with our Spirit, on a personal and collective level. When will we reconcile this split? When will we place our Spirits above our ego’s – in the proper order, according to Divine Law? When will we exalt love and wisdom over fear and survival? Are you waiting on the world to change? When will you embrace personal change? When will you drop your ego and all its false perceptions, beliefs, traumas, narratives, stories, past experiences, strategies, defenses, and coping mechanisms? When will you die on your own cross and be set free? Perhaps when you’ve had enough pain and suffering, and that timing is different for everyone, BUT know that this process is just beginning. Our real spiritual awakening is just getting started.
As Neptune and Saturn hit the 0 degree Aries point this year and next, we will ALL be initiated into an incredible process of reclaiming our Spirit and merging that with our Humanity. This is the merging of Spirt (Neptune) and Matter (Saturn) and really expressing and embodying that in the world (Aries).
No one is here to save you, YOU are here to save yourself, by realizing WHAT and WHO you are underneath your humanity. STOP looking for a savior (mommy or daddy/Cancer-Capricorn) or projecting your power, knowing, and spiritual abilities onto others. You have a direct connection to God via your Spirit and that is priceless and should never be given over to another human being, regardless of title, authority, expertise, OR any kind of fear mongering narratives.
We are in the Great (Pluto) Awakening (Aquarius). ❤
