Pluto Conjunct USA Pluto, Number Two, Plus More Out-of-Bounds Moons

Posted by Awen Labow on

July 10, 2022

By Daniel Giamario

By now most know that the US is in the midst of its Pluto Return. The next threshold event is now upon us. The first conjunction was February 20th and the third and final exact conjunction will occur at the end of the year on December 28th. On Monday, July 11th, 2022, at 3:35PM PDT, the second exact Pluto conjunction happens at 27:32:57Capricorn. This second exact Pluto conjunction stands apart from the two other exact Pluto conjunctions with some maverick features. First, like Pluto in the US chart in 1776 the US Pluto was also retrograde. Another interesting factor is that this conjunction on Monday is with an extreme Out-Of-Bounds (OOB) Moon (at 23Sagittarius32), with the Moon at 26S01 declination, more than two and a half degrees OOB. The other two conjunctions do not have an OOB Moon. Therefore, this July 11 event has two maverick features, Retrograde and OOB Moon. Quite frankly, most anything is possible, with much greatly hidden. It will be quite difficult to have any confidence in what is real or what in the outside world can be trusted. What is clear, though, is the main theme: Can the USA honestly look at its shadow? Can the USA own up to its abandonment of the dreams and visions of the Founders? And, will there be the required courage to compost that which is obsolete and destructive, so as to make space for a rebirth and renaissance?

This Monday-Wednesday contains the next of the bi-monthly extreme Out-of-Bounds Moons. The greatest extreme will be around 2:00PM PDT on Tuesday the 12th. The Moon at 7Capricorn35 will be 26S55 declination, a full three and a half degrees beyond the ecliptic. By 2024, this will stretch out beyond 28 degrees. I have felt that beyond two and a half degrees to be noticeable and significant. Key words for OOB Moons can include eccentricity, extreme uniqueness, seeing beyond the boundaries of “normal” Capricorn and Sagittarius (or Gemini and Cancer at the North declination Solstice Moons), and a high resistance to being assimilated. Here is some data for the next three days:

Monday the 11th at 7:00am PDT: 25S13 18Sagittarius03

Tuesday the 12th at 7:00am PDT: 26S49 3Capricorn09

Wednesday the 13th at 7:00am PDT 26S25 18Capricorn24

Last, but not least, is the Full Moon at 11:38AM PDT on the July 13th at 21Capricorn21. The Moon will still be significantly OOB at 26S06 declination. Adding to the importance of this Full Moon time is that this is the closest perigee Moon of the year, known by many as a Super-Moon. Adding this all up, the intensity of these factors suggests great possibilities of breakthroughs at this time. This kind of Full Moon, OOB and Super Moon can bring to light a great deal that is in the shadows, should one have the courage to look.

JULY 4 PONDERINGS: The USA and Sirius

JULY 4, 2022

By Daniel Giamario

For many reasons that I have shared elsewhere, I prefer Dane Rudhyars’s rectification of the US chart. Here is the data that I use (from Rudhyar): July 4, 1776 5:13:55PM Philadelphia, PA. Although Solar Returns are not one of my top tier techniques, I have included here the USA Solar Return Chart on her 246th Birthday for reference. What I have emphasized for a number of years now, is the Pluto Return and the second Neptune Opposition, with the fifth Chiron Return soon to follow in 2024. Of note to not overlook is the second exact Pluto conjunction on July 11th at 27Capricorn32. Coming soon this Fall is the US Progressed New Moon.

Something else has recently captured my attention. Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is now at 14Cancer07 longitude by precession. The US Sun is 13Cancer19. The destiny of the US is intrinsically linked with this most important star, with her birth at their union. Though certainly beyond the scope of a FaceBook post, it’s pretty clear to most researchers how much the Egyptian mysteries influenced the US Founding Fathers. Across the globe, certain areas of the heavens have been dominant as symbols of great civilizations: particularly Sirius and the stars of the Pleiades. Egypt and Africa seem to favor Sirius. Australia, Meso-America, Polynesia and ancient America have favored the Pleiades. This is something to ponder. The heliacal rise of Sirius (so important to Egypt) now occurs in US latitudes August 9-11th. This begins the so-called “dog days”.

A few other items of interest. Mars enters Taurus 11:04PM PDT on the 4th. This begins a most momentous ingress in this final portion of the elder wisdom phase of the current Mars Aries synodic overstory. Please refer to my recent Solstice Seminar that includes lots of info about the Mars/Uranus/North Node alignment and the triggers with the 2022 eclipses: https://shamanicastrology.com/june-solstice-seminars-2022-sign-up-for-free You can also see my US chart research here: https://shamanicastrology.com/archives/13745

Last but not least, as of this week, the rare and amazing 5 planet morning star alignment will come to a close. There will not be anything like this until 2040, with all 5 visible planets arrayed in their natural order. As of July 3rd, Mercury has reached his guardian of the threshold phase and by July 8th, will disappear into the celestial underworld assuming his psychopomp identity.

In Memoriam: Sao (Ronald Long) Jan.5, 1947—June 27,2022

On Tuesday, the 28th, I received the extremely sad news that my dear friend, Sao, had passed. It seems that so many are leaving now. Sao had been battling leukemia for a good number of years now, and had it seemingly licked on a number of occasions and it was in remission. Apparently he relapsed and had been in the hospital for the last few weeks. I last spoke with him about a month ago, and his condition had significantly shifted. Sao’s two sons had driven out to California to get him from the hospital and drove him to his son Alafia’s house near Phoenix. He passed over a few hours later surrounded by family and other loved ones. Should you desire to help his family with funeral and memorial expenses, here is a link to their Go Fund Me campaign:

https://gofund.me/6305579f

Sao was one of the very first to be fully certified in the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School. I will never forget the first event that he attended, which was in Sedona, way back in the 1990s. Sao was always a bit skeptical about Sedona New Agey type groups and he was afraid that this was one of them! But when he walked in I was playing some really sublime jazz music, which opened his heart and blew his mind! Over the years we bonded deeply with regards to jazz, and a mutual love of Dane Rudhyar. As a Capricorn/Gemini combo with both a strong Uranian and Plutonian emphasis, Sao had a truly unique way of sharing Shamanic Astrology, which he did for many thousands over the years. His dedication to the school and the paradigm was absolute. Sao was the first to be honored as “Wise Elder” on our website. He will be greatly missed by so many, and I will totally miss his friendship and the camaraderie that we shared.

In Sao’s final years he fulfilled so many of his life purpose themes. He established close loving relationships with his sons and was there for his mother when she passed over. His was a life well lived and the fourth nodal return was apparently as good an exit point as any. Sao loved his Gemini Moon and I found it entirely appropriate that he exited with the Moon and Mercury conjunct in Gemini!

Sao, you can now hang with Coltrane, Miles, Bird, and Albert Ayler…..I will look forward to joining you a bit further down the road as we join in that great jazz combo we were always meant to be in together. You can also now hang out with Rudhyar. You will be greatly missed. Love and Magic always.

New Moon and Neptune Stations Retrograde

New Moon and Neptune Stations Retrograde June 28, 2022

Neptune stations retrograde at 25 deg 26′ Pisces on the same day at the New Moon at 7°22’ Cancer. The emphasis of this retrograde period is about allowing ourselves to drift off and let go of the stresses in our lives. We can open up to the great oneness of the cosmos/divine in ourselves intimately connecting with Source, including Gaia.

Check out the full details here: https://youtu.be/OLKLlqNtGkE

On a third-dimensional level, this may feel unsteady as reality holds little weight from a Neptunian / Celestial perspective. There is a sense of impermanence in our journey in that all things can end, leaving new roads to appear and repeating the cycle over and over again.

The non-linearness of Neptune is subtly amplified during its retrograde period. This may be used to do dreamwork, spiritual journeying/questing, sabbaticals and intuitive and creative flows of imaginative expressions where the ego takes a backseat. Time is not relevant for Neptune.

It can also open up to the illusions of some realities that may be more transitory. Meaning, it could highlight what is not meant to be or is simply “wishful thinking” and cannot manifest in reality.

The New Moon in Cancer is near the Galactic Edge, meaning the opposite of the Galactic Center. The Cancerian archetypal energy of the New Moon adds to Neptune’s station point the watery feelings or the heart. This makes for a greater activation of nurturing, compassion and a focus upon our families.

It is a great time to sow the seeds of the future in the garden and in our lives, to nurture that which we want to see blossom in the years to come. New Moons are fantastic times to begin fresh projects or begin a new phase of our lives or in business. For the Cancer archetype, it is about bringing the feelings of giving through the heart and taking responsibility for what we do sow.

It is an investment and expression of the love we share beyond just our immediate family and into all of humanity. The New Moon near that Galactic Edge can guide us to the Silver Gate that welcomes in new soul’s entering the galaxy and Earth. This is the beginning of an emerging family extended past the boundaries we had set in place.

Moon conjunctions of Mars and Chiron June 22, 2022

A day after the June Solstice, the Moon transits through the sign of Aries with encounters of Chiron, then of Mars. Mars and Chiron are only five degrees apart, zodiacally, in the sky and the Moon is the “fastest” planetary body across the sky, in terms of apparent movement. Astrologically and symbolically, this is a time of self-healing our wounds.

The Moon can move 12-15 degrees across the sky in a 24-hour period of time, so it can be an excellent navigational guide for stargazers when the Moon meets in conjunction with stars and other planetary bodies. In the case of the Mars and Chiron conjunctions with the Moon, only Mars is visible (and slowly brightening). However, if one knows the time when the Moon crosses the area of the sky where Chiron is, then one can “see” the conjunction.

Astrologically, the lunar conjunctions of Mars and Chiron activate the Aries archetype through Mars and Chiron. I’ve talked extensively about this in videos and Facebook posts. I would point to my video about Chiron in Aries for a deeper discussion about the wounding and healing that is needed during this transit.

Mars symbolizes the archetypal masculine principle in shamanic astrology while Chiron represents the wounds and fractures that we are here to heal. When we see the tragedies of humanity unfold, one powerful element of those tragedies is the core wounding from the masculine (in relation to the patriarchal expectations and projections). One of those wounds is in not giving ourselves permission to be vulnerable in ourselves and truly feel what is coming up for us instead of covering it up, ignoring it and simply repressing it, in order to appear “strong” to the world around us.

Being “strong” may seem good at first, but over time more and more feelings are repressed, resulting in a variety of unconscious wounding and repressions of others externally because in order to be secure in an image of being “strong”. Aries is a sign/archetype that thrives in its strength of mission and purpose, but it has been used in a way that nearly only supports strength without recognition that vulnerability is ALSO a strength.

The repression of our feelings over the long term does real harm not only to ourselves but to many others around us as well. Chiron has teach us how we can heal ourselves by revealing our vulnerabilities and wounds. Chiron can help us in the cleansing of the toxins within that relate to the identification with the wounds and grieve what no longer belongs within.

On this day, June 22nd, we can all explore what we have unconsciously or otherwise repressed in ourselves in order to integrate it back into our lives in a healthy manner that doesn’t perpetuate wounding around us or within ourselves. We all have the capacity to face those wounds and to promote healing and wholeness inside and helping others do the same outside.
