This week we re-visit the triple conjunction of Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron which has been a feature of this year.\u00a0 In looking back over the year, you may remember economic stringencies, ecological wrangles and psychological challenges of Pluto in Capricorn.\u00a0 You’ll also remember the crumbling institutions, erosions of structures and tugs of war of the Saturn opposition with Uranus.\u00a0 But was there an area in which you excelled and made progress, maybe effortlessly through innate talent?\u00a0 Go on, admit it – stop me if you’ve heard me say it all before – It may not have been in an area you would have liked, but it would have been evidence of the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron effect.\u00a0 Jupiter conjuncts Chiron again tomorrow (Monday 7th) at 22 degrees Aquarius, emphasizing the miraculous.\u00a0 The recognition and blossoming of Susan Boyle is a classic picture of the hype of this aspect.\u00a0 No matter that her time and even date of birth have been under contention.\u00a0 The phenomenon itself is in the nature of, and a clear case of the action of this triple conjunction, and the timing of her entry onto the global stage was at the time of the first meeting of these three planets.\u00a0 She struggled with working out the healing crisis of Chiron in her life during the second phase, and now as the third phase is beginning she has been crowned with a number one album in the U.K., the U.S. and Australia.\u00a0 She has been forced to grow (Jupiter) and has been at the mercy (Neptune) of the process.\u00a0 Among the great Exhibitions of this year (another manifestation of the triple conjunction) is the new Turner Exhibition at Tate Britain.\u00a0 I visited this “magnificent and hugely ambitious exhibition” (accolade by The Times) yesterday, and was reminded of his mastery of light and colour, nebulosity and luminosity, and of how he lifted early 18th Century British art.\u00a0 He was a Taurean (one of the birth signs associated with art) but again, his birth date is nebulous, generally thought to be late April 1775.\u00a0 The Exhibition continues until 31st January 2010.\u00a0 The third phase of the triple conjunction continues on 21st December when Jupiter conjuncts Neptune, continuing the billowing nebulous theme.\u00a0 At the beginning of January the triple conjunction will linger, so if there is extra mileage to he had, you need to recognize and honour the opportunities and make the most of them, while also recognizing the pitfalls and the more serious issues prevailing.\u00a0 The other aspect which occurs tomorrow (Mercury conjunct Pluto) reminds us of the latter.\u00a0 The weight of the economic and ecological issues are undeniable (though the climate change deniers are having their day).\u00a0 It is as though on this first day of the week, at 9 o’clock in the morning, the Universe means business.\u00a0 All the extremes of light and shadow are out on display.\u00a0 On the one hand all that we have before us in trying to deal with the serious issues, and all the divine light and spiritual resources on the other (if in doubt pick up a self-help book).\u00a0 Some deny the economic crisis, talking of green shoots, some deny the climate change, and some deny that we have souls and are divine in nature.\u00a0 It feels more whole to acknowledge them all and to use our spiritual resources to back up our lack of material resources and our efforts to solve our personal and collective problems.\u00a0 Tomorrow is both a reckoning and a possible launch pad to a new effort.\u00a0 Mercury as the planet of weather, a component of climate change, is assailed again on Tuesday (8th) by a square from Saturn.\u00a0 Those who have tried to put forward constructive and enlightening strategies on Monday may be deflated or knocked back and forced to retract slightly on Tuesday.\u00a0 Their “reach may exceed their grasp” as Browning put it, but the push was necessary to progress.\u00a0 Mercury squaring Saturn is a reality check, showing you exactly what you have yet to achieve, and highlighting the difficulties of this transition period.\u00a0 Sometimes in a transition you are needing to do twice the work: implementing the change and propping up the old structures until they can safely be put away.\u00a0\u00a0 That applies to our psychological structures, too.\u00a0 Friday 11th starts with an energetic trine between the Sun and Mars, fire planets in fire signs.\u00a0 You will have more than enough fuel for the day, if not beyond.\u00a0 On Saturday 12th Jupiter is semi-sextile Uranus which, though uncomfortable, may show you the potential of next year’s Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.\u00a0 In showing you in a grand way what is not working, it may provide the Vision you need to power you through next year.\u00a0 The triple conjunction has been linking with Uranus in this way for most of this year.\u00a0 And Jupiter and Uranus together are also carrying the seed of working constructively with the T-square of Pluto-Saturn-Uranus over the next two years.\u00a0 Like Susan Boyle you may have a dream…but your dream needs to encompass the depths as well as the heights of living on this planet at this time.\u00a0 Shall I compare the triple conjunction to a skyscape by Turner?\u00a0 On reflection, yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
