Vesta slides into the sign of Aquarius about 4 days after Mars and Venus ingressed into Aquarius.  We are still in a transitionary state from the conjunctions of Mars and Venus with Pluto.  Pluto is only 2 degrees aways at 28 degrees Capricorn, still in strong position over the Pluto natal position of the United States (meaning still in the US Pluto Return).  Vesta moving into Aquarius, though, perhaps can be another piece of the energetic shift away (and subsequent release) from the multiple conjunctions in Capricorn in February and March.

Aquarius’ essence has much to do with a spirit of innovation (beyond traditional modalities) and expanding consciousness without limits.  It is also a global-level perspective of thinking.  Aquarius can be expressed as an idealist revolutionary thinker experimenting with novel methodologies largely ahead of where current society is at any given time.  Aquarius represents the leading edge of thought, not necessarily being bound by any conventional normalcy.

Vesta in Aquarius brings a sense of special reverence and sacredness for what the mystery school of Aquarius symbolizes.  Vesta rides Aquarius from March 10th to May 24th with much of that time with Venus (about a month) and Mars (about five weeks).

We can inquire during this time with all three planets in Aquarius about the nature of how we break from old patterns and try out new things.  We can see where in our own lives we need a spark of change, realizing the limits of our own structures and systems we depend upon.  We may find ourselves trapped in a bubble of our own making in consciousness and technology.  Do we consider ourselves freethinkers?  Or is it only the daily grind of living?  Perhaps survival demands it but even a potential need for unorthodox thinking while in survival mode or in our daily grind is necessary for us to emerge into the next phase of our journey?

As the “sacred hearth within”, Vesta can help us understand the “unconventional scientist-wizard-theoretician” in us.  This isn’t only how we define science today but more of how “science” was experienced thousands of years ago, long before the so-called “age of reason.”  It is a sense of the “observer” and how we may detach from ourselves in fully seeing ourselves as an unbiased witness.  Vesta helps us bring that to our own personal altars.  Maybe that altar is in the sky or symbolizing the sky brought down to Earth.

There is also a sense of more spiritual service with Vesta, meaning how can Aquarius be of service in the world?  How can radical, revolutionary thought show up to assist humanity with a touch of the concept of universal love?  Aquarius is being expressed through Vesta, the symbol of the Priestess herself and her profound connection to Earth.  It is an odd couple, but one that will require alchemy in all of us.  With Mars and Venus in Aquarius too, this could be a way for communities to come together in sacred response and highly unusual and revolutionary ways.

Prelude to the Shadow of Aquarius- Revisited

By Daniel Giamario

The anticipated second exact morning sky conjunction of Venus and Mars happened at 11:12PM PST Saturday March 5th at 0Aquarius01.  Mars had entered Aquarius at 10:23PM PST, followed minutes later by Venus at 10:30PM PST.  This is nearly the exact place of the recent Jupiter/Saturn conjunction of December 2020 that I speculated was possibly a “Divine Conjunction”, heralding the end and beginning of an entire 26,000 year precessional cycle (see my recent vlogcast on this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeCQ6uKhFAk&list=PLuA7VkRftTNoJ78sNEo0x5ab94YoG5is2&index=5).  Within the current Venus/Mars Saga, which our school calls the Rapunzel/Dumuzi saga, this morning star apparition will last until Venus and Mars leave a 10degree orb on April 12th.  Venus and Mars are currently a good 43degrees away from the Sun, and well placed for morning viewing before dawn (along with Saturn and the slowly fading Mercury).

Looking ahead, later in the month, Venus catches up with Saturn on March 28th at 21Aquarius42, followed by a Mars/Saturn conjunction on April 4th at 22Aquarius21.  Within our understanding of the Venus/Mars Saga, this portion of the greater 26 month time-frame mythically corresponds with the time-frame that Rapunzel and the Prince re-unite and “live happily ever after”.  But are there greater global implications at play?  Relative to Male/Female relations, this is now the union of the synodic overstory of Venus in Capricorn with the synodic overstory of Mars in Aries; now being played out in the sign of Aquarius.  Certainly the attention is on Aquarius, but which Aquarius?

Just as the subject of the “Age of Aquarius” has created a great deal of confusion, I am not referring here to the controversies around when this “Age” begins.  (Our school believes the shift is the time-frame of 1962-2034).  Instead, I emphasize the great confusion that abounds regarding the difference between the constellation of the Water Bearer that references any age shift, and the “sign” of Aquarius.  These are so often confused or unknowingly used interchangeably. I will be writing and speaking to this issue repeatedly as we progress through this month.

As Venus and Mars have now entered the sign of Aquarius, and will soon join Saturn in Aquarius, what is the intent (both Shadow and Light)?  The issue here is the sign of Aquarius—not the Water Constellation of the Water Bearer as a symbol of a New Age (relative to the March Equinox).  The constellation is Water, the sign is Air.  I plan a deeper dive into this often seen misunderstanding.

My sense is that the traditional ruler of the sign, being Saturn, is very much trying a top-down control of the sign of Aquarius.  On a world stage, this suggests the technocratic hive mind fake unity run by a scientific elite (actually with the religion of “scientism”) to impose their vision of collective global humanity without our awareness or conscious acceptance of it.  Remember that Pluto soon enters Aquarius.  As I will explore as these weeks unfold, the Venus/Mars conjunction in Aquarius has major implications in the unfolding race towards transhumanism and transdgenderism, with the not so hidden motive of removing human 1.0 biological sexuality.  This includes the hijack of the word sex with “gender”.  That I have explored extensively in previous videos. CLICK HERE to watch.  I suggest a deep inquiry into these subjects over these next weeks, hopefully with you getting direct transmissions and insights from Venus and Mars directly.

Meanwhile Jupiter is currently on the other side of the Sun, in the celestial underworld, gathering insight and strength as he approaches his fateful encounter with Neptune,

February 27th is a potent day as part of a multi-week period with Mars, Venus, Vesta and Pluto in the sign of Capricorn because the Moon has joined the alignment.  And it is all taking place the early morning sky.

This very rare alignment of planets and Vesta hasn’t taken place since 1955, but that was in the sign of Leo.  The alignment didn’t take place at all the last time Pluto was in the sign of Capricorn.  But there was a similar alignment of these planets (except for Vesta) back in 1791, when Pluto was in the sign of Aquarius, but that is the closest one (although Mars and Venus will conjunct in Aquarius on March 5/6 only about 2 degrees away from Pluto) to this time we currently live in. That was a time of the ongoing French Revolution and the implementation of the US Constitution.

The night sky in the early morning sky is the place to be!  Venus rises about 2 ½ hours before the Sun, Mars follows soon after with the Moon and Saturn almost an hour before sunrise.  Only Vesta and Pluto won’t be visible but the night sky map included with this post will give a good idea of where to look in the configuration complex of planets.

What does this mean, astrologically?

Capricorn is the overriding experience here and its all in how the planets “channel” it, energetically, with us.  We can ask ourselves what is truly important? We can inquire about what it takes to sustain a comfortable life but not a life to excess. Where do our responsibilities fall upon? Are we taking responsibility for what we are aligned with in our soul’s journey? How will it benefit the livability of future generations (not just to live but to thrive)?

The Moon is conjunct Venus, Mars, Pluto and Vesta all on the same day of February 27th.  It’s important for us to get clear with our practical sides, but also to detoxify the systems and structures within ourselves that have completed their stories and/or usefulness.  Perhaps we have held on to them for too long or maybe we didn’t know they were there, buried deep within our psyche?

With Vesta and Pluto involved, we can include a hearty dose of the deep waters of surrender from Pluto and a sacred reverence of the initiation itself in Vesta.  Meaning, this powerful and dynamic multi-week meeting of Mars and Venus takes on a new kind of wavelength with these other celestial bodies.

This alignment of planets is intending for the masculine and feminine working together side-by-side to accomplish something in the far future that is in harmony with Earth and humanity.   But it is a chthonic experience of the physical realm.

The recent attack on Ukraine by Russia illustrates the resistance to taking responsibilities for future generations and long-term sustainability by utilizing violence as a “resource”.  It is showing (among other examples in the world) that humanity has a LOT of work to do to co-create healthy human structures and systems.  Although, Pluto in Capricorn does represent a composting of structures and systems in very powerful ways.

Mars, Venus and Pluto have had many other “looser” conjunctions throughout the 20th century, but it has been over 24 years since Pluto, Mars and Venus have been together.  However, another alignment very similar to the March 5/6 alignment will take place in February, 2024 in Aquarius, with Pluto in that sign as well.

With all rightful attention placed on the amazing union of Venus and Mars in these mornings, we may forget about Mercury.  So we can check in on Mercury a bit here.

Mercury, these last few days, has been at its greatest morning sky elongation—over 26degrees!  It is quite a good time to see this elusive planet.

On Monday at 1:54PM PST, Mercury moves from Capricorn into Aquarius, and remains in Aquarius until March 9^th, when Pisces is ingressed.  This entire time-frame finds Mercury in the Apollo morning star phase of development.  This particular Apollonian phase has an interesting feature.  Stationary direct Mercury on February 3^rd initiated its current Capricornian synodic overtone that oversees this entire 120 day time-frame.  Usually only two signs are found in this phase.  But in this synod, Mercury will encounter Capricorn, Aquarius and even Pisces, before reaching the first of two “guardian of the threshold” phases on March 16^th.  Soon after that Mercury will leave the morning sky and disappear behind the Sun to employ the psychopomp function.  You can learn more about our schools unique understanding of the Mercury cycle HERE.

Quite likely, many of you found the recent Mercury retrograde to be quite challenging.  There has been quite a string of left brain Mercury signs and overtones.  In our current age, Mercury retrograde can be particularly hazardous to those relying on left brain logic, assumed objectivity, and order.  That is not what the retrograde is for.  Whilst Mercury in Capricorn and Aquarius are definitely rational and left-brained, the current and quite unique phenomena of “All Planets Direct” can be quite helpful to utilize a more trustable objectivity, and to be able to act with more confidence in making practical choices. There is the sense that such actions can have achievable results.  You may be more able to both see the forest and the trees.  Full speed ahead!
