Today the Sun, Saturn, and Mercury are meeting for a rare triple conjunction in the dreamy sign of Pisces.

Despite the psychedelic nature of Pisces, this transit is bringing in a reality check. While Mercury and Saturn are burned up in the rays of the Sun for a fresh start, the Lunar North Node is moving into a conjunction with Chiron, the wounded healer. This hurts the self. It is a call to return to the Self. It’s time to face the truth. It’s time to get your head out of the clouds.
Sun is the ideal to which we strive. It is the will upon which the ego sits. The Sun is of course of the element fire and is of the yang principle. The vision of the Sun propels us, though we cannot directly look at it nor can we fully embody it. If we do we will burn out.
Saturn gives us boundaries and distinctions. The ruler of Capricorn, the yin Earth domicile and Aquarius the yang Air domicile. Capricorn looks behind whilst Aquarius looks forward. Therefore, Saturn is rational with a healthy sense of detachment.
Mercury brings in the insight to this transit. As the ruler of both Gemini and Virgo, Mercury brings messages. Mercury is Hermes. Mercury is Thoth. Mercury is about mercantilism, merchants, markets, merchandise, commerce, mercenaries, mercy, Mercredi (Wednesday), mutability, adaptability, details and what it takes to completely change the plot.
In the sign of Pisces, (which is the yin Water domicile of Jupiter, the greater benefic) the planets are suspended in a medium of endless possibilities. Its like walking through the wardrobe to Narnia, but we must come back now. Pisces is about the dreaming, the oneness, the interconnection. Pisces is represented by the feet, our connection to the ground. Keeping our feet on the ground is sometimes difficult with planets in Pisces, that is what Saturn provides: grounding. Walking on the Earth with bare feet; perhaps painful at times, but so in tune with what is real we even absorb the Resonance.
All of these messages lead us back to the Great Mother, Mother Nature.
Where am I the weakest link?
In my anger, in my rage, in my unrest. I act out impulsively when I enter victimhood. I dive into defensiveness. I disallow flow as my blood boils into violent crashing rapids of sadness. Seeing blood red. Yet, I was led through the challenges and that gives me Faith. I know I can trust if I surrender. There are moments when my rage has its place. If I always hide the self-righteousness away, I am only playing a game of pretend. It lingers in the steam of still moments in between. I mustn’t be afraid to express it and at the same time I cannot let it turn into a dogmatic soapbox filibuster. It is unmet needs for warm contact with my father. It’s a wound that runs deep and I never allow it surface. I’ve drowned it. I’ve smothered it. I’ve choked it out of existence because it doesn’t serve me… or does it? The burden of carrying disapproval, shame, and debt. The conscious awareness of its existence breaks the surface tension and the tears run freely, uninhibited and heavy. The heaviness leaves me as the dam breaks.
The shadow submits to fate, it absorbs and takes in all that is. We are addicted to victimhood. We get a rise off of scarcity. In a world that provides a lifestyle that far exceeds even the wealthiest luxuries of the past, we still feel as though we do not have everything we need in our breath. In witnessing. We convince ourselves that we need more because what we have is not enough. Don’t give yourself to those inner demons. Don’t push your weakness into a dark corner to be forgotten until it’s hungry. Your deepest wound is not a dead end street. Look at yourself in a relational way between self and Self. Allow her to nurture you, allow Her to heal you. Get outside and walk barefooted. Find balance. Allow the inner equilibrium to project out into the world.
Tenderness is the heart of our universal mother
At the heart of the family is the mother
What qualities complete you? Some are out there as your brothers and sisters.
-Richard Rudd

Resonance:
Another aspect occurring is the conjunction of Chiron, the wounded healer and the Lunar North Node which represents our ascent in this spiral of creation. More on that soon.
