Acting On The Impluse Of Joy

A quick post to mention the Sun conjunct Saturn.
The next 5 days give us an immense opportunity for integration of everything we have held in our bodies because it was too difficult to express or share.
The Sun joins Saturn in the Spleen Centre, which is about the physical body, about survival, about intuition, about wellbeing. An astrologer may, reading that description, expect to see Aries gates there, perhaps some Virgo, but in fact every gate but one in the Spleen Centre falls in Libra.
This is a deeply important thing to understand about the Spleen Centre. It’s about creating beauty, harmony, balance. It’s about our physical bodies as agents of relationship. And it tells us that we are meant to relate to each other from the cellular level. It tells us we are meant to relate to each other in a way that creates more beauty, more harmony, more balance. It tells us that our bodies are tools for considering the other and that physical isolation is unbalanced and disharmonious for us.
I had a conversation yesterday that really brought home to me the conditioning I received that kept me trapped in a superficial mentally based way of relating. I realised that I felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if I was lying even, because there was so much more that I felt in my body but which I was unable to express verbally. When we experience each other from all our senses, from our intuition, from our senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing, when we tune into the magic each one of us sparks out into the world, then we are truly relating.
Jupiter is in Gate 36 and Uranus joins him there on 1st November. This is a gate that allows emotional aspects of self that have been trapped in our bodies to be released.
Venus and Mars are in Gate 44, joining Quaoar Gate 26 to connect the Spleen to the Heart Centre. The Heart Centre is connecting to the Root, which potentially gives us the willpower and ego strength to let go of fear. Eric Francis sees Quaoar as representing the underlying dance of family dynamics that has created our life. A powerful idea given that the masculine / feminine archetypes of Mars and Venus and connecting Quaoar to the Sun (identity) conjunct Saturn (structure) in the Gate of Correcting Family Patterns.
The Node Node, what leads us forward, is in the Root Centre. We are being called to act only on the impulse of Joy.
