We’ve all heard the story of Narcissus, a youth who knelt beside a lake daily to contemplate his own beauty, and was so fascinated with himself that he fell into the lake and drowned. This story has given us the reason to make enemies of other people.. calling them narcissistic, in an attempt to disempower someone we don’t like, because we see ourselves in them. Now let’s have a different ending for Narcissus: when he died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake which had been fresh water and was now salty tears. “Why do you weep?” the goddesses asked. “I weep for Narcissus” the lake replied. “Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus” they said “for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.” “But.. was Narcissus beautiful?” the lake asked. “Who better than you to know that?” the goddesses said in wonder. “After all, it was by your banks he knelt each day to contemplate himself.” The lake was silent for some time. Finally it said “I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected. ” and that is why a beautiful flower called Narcissus was born. To remind us, that when we contemplate our own beauty, it reflects the beauty of others.

Astrology is pointing at December 21 being the one and only day of this conjunction, however.. It started on the 6th of December when they were 1 degree 40 minutes apart, and it has been steadily decreasing since! Today, on December 17, they are at 0 degrees 29 minutes, 26 seconds apart. To navigate the sky better, Astronomers have created a latitude and longitude grid. This grid runs east to west, in hours, minutes and seconds, and then north-south in degrees, minutes and seconds. On November 24, Saturn rose to minus 20 degrees, and on the 28th, he moved eastward to 20 hours, so he has been orbiting at 20 hours, minus 20 degrees since! In the constellation of Sagittarius. This will not happen again for 30 years! On December 11, Jupiter moved eastward to 20 hours, and on the 12th, he rose to minus 20 degrees, also in the constellation of Sagittarius. What is the significance of this? the part of our DNA that science has labeled “junk”, is composed of switches. When the 20th switch is turned “off”, we are operating in the darkness/shadow of Superficiality. Superficiality could better be described as sitting just on the fringe of life, without really plunging in. To live in superficiality is also to live within the false illusions that our minds love to fabricate. In a person of an introvert nature, this shadow is seen as the person seeming to just be absent/vacant from their life. In a person of an extrovert nature, this shadow is seen as the person who is hectic, always on the move, keeping themselves so busy and self absorbed they never stop. Since we entered the linear time frame of the year 2000, life itself has been turning on our 20th switch, calling us to come into our power of Divine presence, acting from our sacred space of Divine self assurance. 2020, is really triggering this light switch, and now we have the two gas giants in the sky joining the turning on of this light switch! To allow this switch to stay on, simply meditate with this mantra “I am Divine presence”. The other significance of this Great Conjunction is that this is the closest they have been in the sky since 1623. What happened on OUR planet earth in 1623? the word insomnia was first put in the dictionary Myles Standish led a small band of settlers to assassinate Native American Warriors 2 more ships arrived to populate the Plymouth Colony The battle of Stadtlohn was fought between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant church Governer Bradford of the Plymouth Colony declared a day of Thanksgiving. So.. with the great conjunction, came the experience of insomnia, that is now being brought to an end. Also with this great conjunction, the establishment of Patriarchy on the shores of Turtle Island, a day of Thanks.. to those peoples indigenous to Turtle Island, who lived in harmony with our mother earth and all of life.. who shared with the white colonizer settlers on the verge of collapse because their white colonizer settler/patriarchal ways knew nothing of living in harmony with our mother earth. This white colonizer settler patriarchal virus later declared the way of life that had saved them as “savage” and to be exterminated. This Saturn Jupiter Grand Conjunction folks.. is heralding the end to that! And we are being called with great intensity to come out of the darkness of superficiality, into the gift of our Divine presence!

After 6 short days in the constellation of Scorpius, the Sun has orbited into the constellation of Ophiuchus today! This constellation was removed by the Babylonian astrologers, and to continue to follow astrology without this constellation is to keep yourself wrapped in the Babylonian and Roman age! Do we really want to keep repeating that over and over? Ophiuchus is pronounced “oaf-ih-you-kus” and is known as the serpent bearer. It sits in the most colorful part of the sky and is northwest of the center of the milky way-our galactic center that the sun orbits. Its home to a number of star clusters, and includes Keplar’s Supernova. In 2014 NASA’s stardust mission of 2014 collected star dust from Ophiuchus, and in 2017 scientists isolated Methyl iso-cyanate, a key building block of life, as well as glucoaldehyde- a sugar associated with the formation of RNA- so also a building block of life in the star dust collected in the constellation of Ophiuchus. The constellation Sagittarius lies next to Ophiuchus at the Milky way, galactic center, the densest part of the sky. In fact Sagittarius points his arrow right at the galactic center, and it is out of this portal-that the aurora borealis flow. When the moon or Sun, crosses this point, it’s known as a point of transformation, squeezing one through the eye of the needle so to speak. I’ve associated Ophiuchus with the DNA switch called Celestial Fire. The shadow of this switch is desire. Desire is what pushes us to evolve and grow, but the shadow comes from the clinging to desire, the repression of desire. The psychic power/gift of this DNA switch that is triggered by Ophiuchus is the rapture of belonging. Where in the body might one experience dis-ease when this switch is being triggered? In the solar plexus and digestion.

As we are heading to the winter solstice, and the big Saturn Jupiter conjunction of a century, the sun has made its yearly voyage into the constellation of Scorpius. This constellation lies mostly north to south in the sky, and the sun transits east to west, so it will only be in Scorpius for a couple of weeks. What is the energy of Scorpius? It is connected to the DNA switch known as “embracing the dark side” . When this switch is turned off, the darkness you find yourself in is that of purposelessness. Where would you find this impacting your body? In your kidneys. the psychic power of this switch is knowing that you are Spirit in human body, so really immortal. When you realize this, life becomes the stage you are living on, going through the constant evolution while remaining fully committed to living fully in harmony with all of creation.
