Heliocentric, sidereal planetary cycle Astrology - "new Beginnings"...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heliocentric sidereal Astrology – a different view point and perspective
When we look from the Sun, we see Earth – our physical home of incarnate life – in relation with the whole solar system and further.
Fantastic and wonderous our lives, yet by far not all there is….
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Featured":
Pallas conjoins Haumea on 9th of January at 5,5 degrees sidereal Libra
Hygiea conjoins Nessus on 27th of January 22 degrees sidereal Aquarius
Pallas and Hygiea are Asteroids in the main belt, they are not as fast nor as slow - the energies are feelable already a while (approaching time) and will last for a few weeks as of (separating time)....
I can recommend to check out the "Earth at her Perihelion" post, as there's a lot of information about the currents that also colors all of January....
Pallas and Haumea
Some “cycle details”
Pallas conjoined Haumea last time in May 2019 also in very early (cuspal) sidereal Libra but as this time both pretty north of the ecliptic with Haumea in the constellation Bootes and Pallas just at the edge between Virgo and Bootes…. In 2019 they were ca. 7,5° apart in latitude, whereas in this 2024 conjunction they’re 5° apart in latitude and in the next one in September 2028, they will be less than 3° apart in latitude and ca. 5 degrees further in longitude… The conjunction of May 2033 will be another 5° further in longitude and then only 40 minutes apart in latitude…
So, you can see, they’re in an interesting “cycles within cycles” part here as well as observing the “evolution” of it or telling “one step after another”… and as Haumea does orbit the Sun once within ca. 282 years, it’s something here, that doesn’t happen every few years.
The last time, they had these conjunctions in Libra, they happened in the 1740’s and were together with the Makemake-Haumea conjunction (they happen rarely because of very similar orbital times)…
The players:
Pallas is Jupiter’s “brain child” (Greek mythology) and is of a fearless character. She fights if needed for justice and harmony. She’s intelligent and creative, put the pieces of information together to find innovative/creative solutions to problems. More about Pallas:
Haumea “mid wife energy”, birthing something that is “sustainable” in the sense of bloodlines, genetics etc., birthing a “new level” of consciousness, refreshing and refining etc. – it also includes some “liberating” energies, release of old patterns in order to gain or regain balance and harmony – yet, it’s on a “broader” or “deeper” level… More about Haumea:
Pallas – Haumea conjunction chart January 2024
Pallas and Haumea are in square by/to Pluto in earlier sidereal Capricorn.
The Pluto – Haumea square is active for a while as they’re both slow along the ecliptic and Pluto is here the “faster” one…
Pallas and Haumea are also in sextile with Juno in earlier sidereal Leo.
-------------------------
There’s also an interesting T-square featured with the Earth/ Moon system in later sidereal Gemini as the “T” and squaring the opposition between Venus in later sidereal Virgo and Chiron in later sidereal Pisces (at the star Kaht of Pisces).
As looked from the Earth, we would see the Sun right opposite and therefore we’re here actually dealing with a Grand-Square.
--------------------------
The constellation Bootes is called the “Shephard” or a Guardian, it may also talk about unity – the union between the feminine and masculine forces or the two hemispheres in the brain etc.
Yet, Pallas and Haumea are in the low part of the constellation, which to me could more talk about “root chakra” themes…
Conclusions – Haumea and Pallas
When we have Haumea directly involved, we’re talking about “new Beginnings” yet one that is the same time liberating from something old – it’s just “moving on” – no big tantrum or anything alike…
The energies I described in the Earth at Perihelion post, are similar – the anchoring in of the new. The following of the guidance of what we have seen and learned, recognized and acknowledged – may that now be something we find nice or not so much, it doesn’t matter, we just take the consequences and move on…
I think we’re guided here in this whole chart, from various perspectives, to actually just “step up” – there’s no going on, when we want to cling to the old… as long as we do, we’re still in the old – well, yes, it needs “practice” and therefore there’s also the need for compassion and patience with oneself… or Humanity as a whole…
Pallas is a more “direct” energy – she brings inspiration and solutions to the table that here can bring resolution, lasting change instead of “quick fixes”… Pallas is also supporting us with solutions that are “at hand”, manageable, “in reach” by using what there IS already – she’s of pretty practical, strategical and in some ways a “re-cycler” (using rubbish to create something else), using anything as a stepping stone etc. …
It's easy to see, that within the re-cycling process, there’s no going “ahead” as long as we see the “old” (plastic, cans, carton or whatever) only – translating this to energetics, thoughts and emotions its actually the same…
Whatever we do, whatever area of life we’re especially working on, we all have somewhere we already mastered something and can use that experience as a “positive example” and we can now, “ohhh, I could do this – then I can do that as well”…. We can empower ourselves with what we actually have…
May that now be something we have “externalized” or “internalized”… both are there… yet, what we have “internalized” is with us and always accessible no matter the circumstances or surroundings…
Hygiea and Nessus
Some “cycle details”
This conjunction takes place on 27th of January 2024 at 22°7’30” sidereal Aquarius with Nessus pretty south of the ecliptic and Hygiea a little north…
Their last conjunction was in May 2018 at 12°1’37” sidereal Aquarius also both south and north of the ecliptic…
Their next conjunction will take place in October 2029 0°31’34” sidereal Pisces, under the fish head or circlet…actually, as the circlet is a little north of the ecliptic, Hygiea will stand right at the outline of that circlet of Pisces, while Nessus will be south of the ecliptic and not in the same constellation as Hygiea…
This conjunction marks the last in the constellation and sign of Aquarius – it’s right passed the Urn of the Waterbearer.
Therefore, it’s a kind of “concluding and shifting” cycle, which will also us to go through some "shifts" within their themes as they both will move away from the constellation Aquarius towards different energies…
The players:
Hygiea is about “hygiene” as the name suggests – yet, there’s also an element of purity and “maintenance” included. She doesn’t work only on the bodily or manifested level – there’s the hygiene of thoughts and emotions as well – to cleanse, maintain a certain “state” and even “resilience” in this sense…. More about Hygiea:
Nessus speaks of abuse, neglect and denial and or our reaction to such situations. More on an emotional level though – sometimes we feel a certain way and when we can clarify it, we find out, it wasn’t meant in such a way at all, an “illusion” which we created ourselves. He’s more like showing where we tend to victimize ourselves and where we therefore make space for others to “abuse” us. Another perspective of the theme is, where we “neglect” ourselves, or have abandoned abilities or dreams etc. – once we break such habits, we create a whole new life for ourselves… More about Nessus:
Nessus and also other Centaurs are often in mythology referred to as Ferrymen and in Dante's "inferno" 1000's of Centaurs are seen guarding both sides of the river. Dante does mention Nessus and some others by name...
Roughly 2 or 3 years ago, I had a lucid dream or something alike: I somehow arrived somewhere looking like a train-station and when I followed all the people "upstairs" I was suddenly in a huge area, with some kind of pools and hotels as well as shopping malls around. It yet had the feel of a "waiting room"... I remembered to have wondered around and asking myself, what I'm doing there and how to get out of it as there were no trains "leaving"...
Well - then suddenly there was some turmoil in that very "organized" place where nobody talked and everyone walked in the same pace (very odd) - some kind of "rebels" had arrived (I perceived them more like being "alive") and so with keeping my distance, I followed them... and arrived somewhere in the countryside, very idyllic place with a river.
Those "rebels" were there too and we started talk - well, it was more like a "negotiation" because I had asked of how to get out of all of this and the answer was through the river and that I would need one of them to bring me over (it included diving!)...
Hygiea – Nessus conjunction chart January 2024
Hygiea and Nessus (2 red circles) are standing at the Aquarian Urn, symbolizing “flow” that nourishes far beyond Aquarius…
The Two are in separating opposition to Orcus (the Keeper of oaths, life path) in the second half of sidereal Leo in the constellation Hydra.
Hygiea and Nessus are also in trine (120°) by Venus in later sidereal Libra (also constellation Libra).
They are also in a sextile (60°) by/to Jupiter in later sidereal Aries (Jupiter is slowly approaching Uranus for conjunction – will be exact in March)
Beside that all, it’s interesting to note, that Saturn is also approaching Nessus for conjunction and Hygiea did not long ago…
Furthermore, the Earth/Moon system in the middle of the constellation and sign of Cancer in alignment of longitude with Varuna a little north of the ecliptic (still in the constellation Cancer)…
Conclusions – Hygiea and Nessus
What is purity actually?? Is it a concept that comes out of our hearts, the inner being or is it something that we have learned, or just simply belief in as a form of a religion??
It’s easier with hygiene – especially the bodily one, or the cleanliness in our homes or of our clothes… yet, have you ever noted, that people who take that part very serious and intense, they’re usually the ones with a weak health,…
Finding the “right” balance for oneself is probably the healthiest choice and that might be the same for the emotional hygiene and the hygiene of the mind… after we have found such a balance, the part of “maintenance” starts – it’s not easy at all because we at the same time have to “clean more”….
Nessus let’s us dive deep into our own “shadows” – when we see something happening in our outside world (our direct world), it may have something to show to us… if we’re triggered by something so called “negative”, abusive, oppressive etc. it may show us something we have “neglected” to integrate/face within… so, turning it around but not “direct”, yet the “underlaying” energies… it may also show you an ability we have, that we could “change” or “transform” the happenings…. Yes, we’re a part of it, but that doesn’t mean that things are mirrored in a “one to one” way…
Have you ever been in an “inner conflict” about if you really want something or not – trying to figure out the “pro and contras” but unable to really make a decision?? … within such a state we kind of “stagnate” but yet, do important work for the further growth or evolution without having a direct manifestation yet… usually, if we’re not too occupied within the battle, we can notice natural guidance, showing us our “preferences” clearly and to where it shall go…
Sometimes we’re finding ourselves in the battle with the own “ego” (got nothing to do with selfishness in the “common understanding”!!)…
Is there lack? Is there victimhood?? – is it something really existing or is it something we (humanity) over time created and manifested??... is it a “construct” we belief true??
So, you see on the global level there are very profound questions we can ask – there’s so also the need to notice the “advancements” already done – on a personal level and on a global level… THAT then can become the “new foundation” of what I have spoken about lately and what the earlier discussed Pallas – Haumea conjunction is partly about…
There’s also the aspect of “self-reliance” and “self-sufficiency” coming up in my own life – one that goes beyond having an own farm/vegetable garden at home … hmm… how much can we do that and what does it mean?? Can we sustain our body with hardly any “intake”?? Well – it seems possible at least for quite a while and is probably a learning process just as anything we consider worthwhile…
I have seen a documentary ones about a famous Yogi in India – he wasn’t eating for weeks or months and was almost “eaten alive” by ants… so, well, I’m not so sure if that’s the balanced approach either… at least it doesn’t look appealing to me, lol…
Have you ever been in love? Have you ever felt not needing any food, just being able to live of “love and air” so to speak… well, it seems possible then… hmmm…
Quite some “food for thought”…
With much Love to you All,
Fran
