Polarities Matter
Can’t think of one without the other
Can’t have Pisces without talking about Virgo
If Aries is me, I have to think of you
And you is Libra
If Taurus is the sensory, we have to think of Scorpio
Of the psychological too
If Gemini is information
We have to think of principals, of Sagittarius
The home is in Cancer, but we have to go out into the world
of Capricorn to earn that bread
Your selfhood is aglow in Leo
But the group matters, too, teaches Aquarius
Pisces might be all about the soul
But your body is matter, politely points out Virgo.
They told us that the cardinal T-Square would be tough. It was. We know this because we lived through 2010 and 2011. But I quite like 2012. It could be Neptune’s ingress into Pisces: surrender to a higher power. Or it could be just psychological exhaustion: Yeah, I’m beat and I’m lying here, face down in the carpet. I accept, I accept. Funny thing about acceptance, it makes happiness sneak around and sit in your lap again. I don’t mean giving up on things without a fight. I mean an intelligent surrender to forces bigger than you, to reality, to what cannot be changed.
So, I like this Neptune ingress into the sign of the Fish. One of its meanings could be recognizing higher powers that are around us. A divine design if you will. And connecting to it. I think that’s important. It gives meaning to suffering, patience to endurance and it is the triumph of sacrifice. Neptune rules addiction and I heard Steven Forrest say in a recorded lecture that addiction is born because of a feeling of separateness. It’s a wanting to connect, a longing for the divine home where you will always be safe, always loved. (more…)
