At 20.51am UT today the Moon triggers a Grand Cardinal Cross. (*)  It does this by joining the Uranian Point Hades in the Gate of Modesty, opposite Pluto.  Remember that these cardinal points are all in the G Centre?  Well, today the Sun and Earth are also in the G Centre, giving us a powerful activation at the Heart Chakra.

6th August 2010

The past few weeks have brought us a significant way to understanding the difference between the energies that we experience in the Solar Plexus Centre (emotions) and those of the G Centre (love).

It’s also not insignificant that the Centre sitting between them ~ called, very confusingly, the Heart Centre ~ is home to the ego self.

The fastest way for the emotions to connect with love is by breaking down the ego self.  The pathway requires us to come into community (37) without losing ourselves in the process through dramatising our wounds (40) or being shocked by our interactions (51) and in this way discovering our pure and innocent self (25).

But the G Centre doesn’t just radiate love (although it certainly does that). It is also the place we go in the design when we want to know something about the life geometry.  Who you are and where you’re headed.

So here’s a rhetorical question for you – what happens to humanity when we have a Grand Cardinal Cross (Cardinal means initiating something new) that includes Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon plus the Sun and Earth, all in the G Centre?  Expect shifts!

Well more of the same you may think and when these types of shifts used to take us a year or two to integrate now we’re grooving through them in a week or so, even less.  We are amazing!  A few weeks ago we opened a new dimensional doorway and now we are gently and profoundly settling into our new home, shifting the density as we do so.

Today’s transits take away another layer of heart armouring, leaving you more open to love and loving. The new relationships – both love and business – that flow from this shift will completely change your life.   This is the crossroads where we can continue holding on to deep emotional wounds or choose a life filled with a juicy sexual/sensual vitality.

Here’s what today brings us.  With Saturn, sitting on the Super Galactic Centre and shifting our experience of finding harmony, beauty and excellent relationships, we find Vesta, Venus and Eros.   Eros brings a juicy sexual energy that zaps all our cells into LIFE!  Vesta rules, amongst other things, the ownership of our own sexual energy and also our creative sovereignty.  And Venus encourages us to do nothing that does not create more love, harmony and beauty.

How does all this fit with Saturn?  Many of you will be well aware of the new Saturn energy.  It’s earthy and solid and grounded.  It’s stable and reliable and something you can lean on.  When we release our belief in limitations and live fully in each moment, Saturn ceases to be malefic and becomes our greatest ally, a beloved paternal godfather.

The Moon is heading into Cancer to make up the fourth cardinal point and it will be conjunct the Uranian Point Hades.  There is much speculation about Hades and little agreement amongst astrologers.  My favourite take is that he represents a desire to go to the sub-atomic or mystical level of being in order to create something on the material level.  He also represents a trip back to the past, to past lives or childhood to recover something precious.

The Moon is likely to trigger old emotional childhood patterns of betrayal, abandonment, neglect, and these patterns probably exist on the karmic or soul level.  Don’t panic, you’ve been chipping away at this point in your field for a while now and there’s not much woundedness left there.  Here’s a tip.  If you’re feeling a lack of nurturing over the next 24 hours or so, make sure you do everything you can to nurture yourself.  If someone else wants to shower you with nurturing, so much the better! This is a powerful point of shift.

The Sun is conjunct Atlantis in the Gate of the Army, a gate that talks about internal leadership and how we control our inner rabble and turn them into a force to be proud of.  Atlantis is rich in mythology of abuse of power and secret uses of technology.  Atlantis enjoys knowing things that others don’t know and using that information for it’s own purposes to the detriment of others.  The Sun could represent breaking free of punishment by the father for seeking our own pathway, and it could represent shedding light on nefarious ethics and taking a new path that aligns more with our own values.  Interesting to find Nemesis there as well, likely to show us how to finally escape a behaviour that has continually tripped us up, to release an inner bogey man.

Mercury is up in the Crown Chakra all by himself.  He’s sitting above the Gate of Oppression (where we find good old Sisyphus forever struggling with that bloody boulder).  Mercury has this to tell us:

In times of disorder there is a temptation to advance oneself as rapidly as possible in order to accomplish something tangible.  But this behaviour leads only to failure and humiliation if the time for such achievement has not yet arrived.

And Mars has moved from the G Centre down to the gate that corrects family and karmic patterns (18).  And yes he’s still keeping company with Lilith, so expect deep experiences from men around the power of the mother and how it hangs around in their psyche.  This masculine wound is, I believe, the engine room of the excesses of the patriarchy, and as it comes to light the world will change quite quickly and easily.

There’s been some energetic backlash in the past 24 hours, as Mercury approached the Crown, trying to hypnotise us back into old energy.  Be very clear about your commitments just now. There’s no need to rush anything.  Everything is perfect, as are you.

(*)  This is the time the Moon enters Gate 15 in the Human Design chart.  From an astrological perspective, it moves into Cancer at 21.50pm UT.
