Like most people for whom country music is not at the top of their playlist, Dolly Parton was in my periphery, yet not at the center. Since her death, the global love that has poured out in response to her presence has caught my attention.

Wanting to learn more about this universally loved woman, I watched much of the YouTube content celebrating her. As I learned more about her life, I suspected a strong cosmic connection with the Divine Feminine Goddess, Dziewanna. I was excited to look, and what I found did not surprise me.

Dolly’s 12^th house Moon, in Virgo, is conjunct Dziewanna. Planets connected with the Moon give emotional support, and the 12^th house gives us a multilayered assist from deep within. Virgo gives us the discernment to make choices. The cosmic touch between Dolly’s Moon and the planet Dziewanna helps me understand the solid, loving marriage of Dolly Parton and Carl Dean.

Dziewanna, like many other goddesses, had a father who wanted her to marry. None of the proposed mates met with Dziewanna’s approval. Her father was relentless, and her mother colluded with him. Despite the pressure, Dziewanna stayed on her own path. That part of Dziewanna’s story is not Dolly’s story, fortunately. Throughout Dolly’s life, she showed deep love and appreciation for her parents and her roots.

What is similar in their stories is that a suitable mate turned himself into a flower to get Dziewanna’s attention. That mate recognized Dziewanna’s power, beauty, and authority. He made space for it, encouraged and supported it.

That is how Carl Dean loved Dolly. He met her as an equal partner, seeing and loving all that she was. He took his place in her life and stood out of the way of the rest of her life. For 60 years they respectfully supported one another, with full grace. This is Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine in sync. This is Dziewanna’s story, and Dolly’s, too.

Dolly’s capacity for living the integration of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine goes even further.

In her birth chart, she has Venus in Capricorn. Venus is traditionally the essence of the Feminine, and Capricorn is traditionally the essence of the Masculine. One hundred and eighty degrees away, in counterbalance, Dolly has Mars in Cancer. Mars is traditionally the essence of the Masculine, and Cancer is traditionally the essence of the Feminine. These juxtapositions of Venus and Mars, Cancer and Capricorn in Dolly’s chart explain to me how she successfully integrated business with beauty. She came in with the gifts of integration, and as I heard her say in one of those videos, her life goal was to use the gifts God gave her.

So much more can be said about her birth chart. How her Sun, Moon, and Ascendant were all in Earth signs, giving her incredible grounding. How she was born during a Full Moon phase, giving her the capacity to hold countless people within her energy field. How she had Jupiter in the second house, blessing her with expansive abundance. How she had a Sun-Venus conjunction, speaking to her beauty, and as part of her 5^th house stellium, speaking to her prolific creativity. How she had Uranus conjunct the Midheaven, speaking to her essential uniqueness.

Dolly had her Sun and the North and South Nodes, our destiny points, at 29 degrees of their signs. Once, I heard another astrologer say that the 29^th degree of a 30-degree sign is the fullest flowering of that sign. That was Dolly, the fullest flowering. May she rest in peace for a life so well and thoroughly lived. May her shining love light continue to inspire us to live to our cosmic destiny.

Lived Experience

The solar eclipse two weeks ago stretched my cosmic understanding to unimagined levels. Reaching for a book of poetry, I found a copy of Philip Sedgwick’s Galactic Ephemeris that I did not even know that I had.

This volume lists multiple deep space bodies for each degree of the zodiac. I had been developing my own databases of deep space objects, Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud bodies, and Centaurs. The Galactic Ephemeris expands that work much more broadly.

Awareness of more and new types of cosmic bodies expands consciousness. In that process, limits, constrictions, and restraints must go. The entire sky reveals more of itself through discovery, research, and understanding.

The letting go process is what’s up now, with the Luna Eclipse. Letting go allows for the flow into new configurations of identity and understanding. The layers peel away, exposing broader, more spectacular layers.

Whatever you are releasing in this Luna Eclipse, may it be gone, replaced by an open expression of freedom, new consciousness and resplendent love.

The Cosmic Layers with this Luna Eclipse

The Sun, Moon. Earth: Luna Eclipse 8 27/28 2026

An eclipse occurs when the Sun/Moon/Earth crosses the nodal axis, where the Moon crosses the Ecliptic. This Luna eclipse crosses the South Node, signifying the past, specifically what we have been through or have accomplished, and can now be released.

In a Luna, or Full Moon Eclipse, the Earth aligns between the Sun and Moon, offering us opportunities to ground our emotional life between our emerging identity (Sol) and the emotional, ancestral ground of lived experience (Luna).

Occurring on the Virgo/Pisces axis, the cosmic energy for letting go of what no longer belongs or benefits us is further enhanced.

The Planetary Layer

The planetary picture involves Chiron, Damocles, Eris, Gonggong, Haumea, Hylonome, Ixion, Jupiter, Mors Somnus, Pholus, Pluto, Quaoar, Saturn, Varuna, Venus, and Vesta.

Together, these planetary bodies help us release collective grief that blocks the path to our regenerative transformation. As we move beyond separation consciousness and old “rules,” we break through to a new consciousness that surpasses imagination. We nurture ourselves through a dynamically volatile evolution by letting go and allowing for the uplift of the highest, sustainable frequency.

The Deep Space Layer

The deep-space picture includes two spiral galaxies and a Magnetic Star conjunct the Sun; a supernova and a white dwarf conjunct the Earth/Moon; and a Galactic Cluster, a White Dwarf, a Planetary Nebula, and a Radio Source square the Sun/Earth/Moon at the Gemini point. At the Sagittarius point, there is a Near Star and Black Holes, including one with a Pulsar that has radio jets.

Collectively, these bodies mirror the unlimited beauty and potential that comes through the catharsis of evolutionary transformation and magnetizing what is truly ours, unfettered by old debris. Consciousness is a critical piece, getting out of the way as we listen deeply to and for our alignment.

A Lived Experience

Once, on a car ride from the airport to a retreat center in Pagosa Springs, I asked my dear friend what she thought my signature needs were, based on her excellent knowledge of Five Element Acupuncture. “Cutting the wheat from the chaff” was number one.

As readers of this content, you may have noticed that I have tendencies to include a lot of information. My Mercury in Pisces, as well as other placements, wants to include all, and I have a challenge with discernment. Another dear friend has recently said to me, “Less is More.”

I hear them and take their loving, caring wisdom to heart. It is challenging, though, to release ingrained, conditioned traits that have become seemingly intractable habits.

Discerning, eliminating, narrowing down is a valuable life skill that Sun in Virgo helps us build. As I wrote this post and pondered my own challenges with discernment, awareness took me to the next step: discipline.

Once we discern, eliminate, choose, we must commit to practice. We must apply discipline, adapt the new, and leave the old. The skill of discernment is earthbound, grounding, stabilizing, and fortifying, yet it requires letting go and sacrificing the comfort of familiarity.

As the leaves soon fall from the trees in the Northern Hemisphere, and the ground softens to receive plantings in the Southern Hemisphere, nature mirrors the help we need to let go, release, and allow.

May we immerse ourselves within nature’s reflecting mirror as we face our evolving selves.

The Cosmic Picture Now

The Sun in Virgo closes out the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, where we prepare for the harvest, and the winter season in the Southern Hemisphere, where we prepare for planting. We are also between two eclipses: the Solar Eclipse of August 12 and the upcoming Lunar Eclipse of August 27/28. This seasonal transition and eclipse portal path suggest that we are amid a significant energetic shift.

The invitation, globally, and through the unified axis of Virgo/Pisces, is fine-tuned discernment. Since the beginning of the astrological year, with the Sun in Aries, we have been clarifying priorities. Virgo discernment asks if these refined priorities promote our part within the whole.

Cosmic bodies supporting this discernment include Sun conjunctions with the Ursa Major Supercluster, the Fixed Stars Regulus and Algieba, the Sextans galaxy, the Kuiper Belt Object Sila-Numan, and an accreting pulsar.

In the Heliocentric Coordinate, the Earth and Moon are opposite the Sun at 0 Pisces; the added support includes a pulsar, a planetary nebula, and a massive Black Hole.

Fixed Stars, a pulsar, and multiple deep space planets at the Sagittarius Point, and the Pleiades, deep space planets, a pulsar at the Gemini Point complete a Grande Mutable Square. See the graphic above for the names and degrees of these bodies.

Among the more significant help, the Ursa Major Supercluster conjunct the Sun offers higher-level consciousness, and Regulus, a first-magnitude star, lights our way. Sextans is an ancient galaxy that offers deep history, and the Black Hole with the Earth Moon, NGC 7052, helps us understand that galactic history.

The Uranus/Sedna conjunction that squares the Sun and Earth/Moon stretches us to new boundaries, increasing our capacity to thread new consciousness through our ancient galactic lineage.

What most grasped my heart, though, is the Pleiades, 0 Gemini counterbalance with the Dziewanna/Typhon/Goibniu conjunction at 0 Sagittarius.

We know the Pleiades as the Seven Sisters, feminine solidarity, protection, sacredness. I have written before about the epic, four-year conjunction of Dziewanna and Typhon through April 23, 2029. Typhon is a disruptive energy like its near name, typhoon, blowing in the Divine, Sacred, Feminine energy of the goddess Dziewanna. The Transneptunian Goibniu helps us fuse this new consciousness, and Sila-Numan, the KBO with the Sun, helps us integrate it into fullness.

What is especially astounding is that Typhon’s perihelion, its closest point to Earth, is at 1 Virgo 08, heliocentrically. So while this body blesses us with its square to the Sun and Earth/Moon, its energy is even more accessible through its perihelion connection point with the Sun. This proximity suggests explosive breakthroughs are part of nature now, helping us clear, discern, and choose.

Separating the wheat from the chaff is an apt image for the Sun in Virgo. While that cliché may be tired, what we must discern has expanded to a galactic scale. More light, less separation from invisible energies, and receptivity to our deeper evolutionary history have increased our capacity for wise discernment and sacred choice, leading to greater freedom within the process.

May we step up, cut, eliminate, discern, choose. Next step, may we have the discipline to carry through the new.

A Lived Experience

This total Solar Eclipse portal occurs on the heart and humanity axis of Leo and Aquarius in the Heliocentric view. The invitation is to step up the maturation of ascended consciousness. Energy shifts as light beams life through our body, our consciousness, and our true heart vision.

True to the nature of the fixed signs, my direct experience is of a deepening in patience with an expanded space for allowing. There seems to be a new solidity. The superfluous clears, and intention, action, and presence align. Bearing witness, free of judgment, deepens resilience and trust within the space of flowing while not knowing.

The Cosmic Helpers Now

The astrology that I practice is bidirectional, energetic, and beyond mind. There is a felt experience of connection, without even knowing anything about the cosmic body. We are kin, and we come to know one another through heartfelt engagement.

In the Fixed Grand Cross of this Heliocentric view, multiple fixed stars shine with the Leo Sun; a Black Hole and a fixed star join the Aquarian Earth/Moon; and Superclusters, fixed stars, and pulsars join the Taurus and Scorpio points of this grand cross. These energies mirror inclusion, diversity, vibrancy, and love.

Being aware of our cosmic connections helps us activate our ascension pathways. As you review the cosmic bodies listed on the graphic above, notice which ones call you. As you are still and present within your sacred heart, and with honesty about true wants/needs/hurts, invite engagement.

In this time of living sovereignly within the cosmic whole, we are being renewed through the sacred power of our individual gifts. Help, suited to each of our individual gifts, is there for heart-centered asking, receiving, and actualizing.

With planetary help, we can nurture the highest possibilities of heart-aligned values and rise above the darkness. We can regenerate ourselves, beyond imagination.

It is a process that goes way beyond the mind and involves surrender, trust, and felt connection within a unified field, internally and externally.

Wishing you every blessing as we cross this eclipse portal, together. Drop in the comments how your personal engagement with deep space bodies is going. I am eager to hear!

A Lived Experience

The cosmic energy of this Full Moon invites us to propel ourselves away from the foundation of what was and into the openness of unknown possibilities. These possibilities are accessed through multidimensional frequencies.

In an astounding experience of cosmic alignment, I have directly left something and gained so much more.

In these writings, I have often referenced Philip Sedgwick. I consider him to be the Grandfather of Deep Space Astrology, along with Michael Erlewine, the Great Grandfather. The legacy of their diligent research and stunning insights is immeasurable, and I am deeply grateful.

Recently, in a public talk, Philip suggested that when we interpret Fixed Stars, we can leave the myth behind and focus on “The physical attributes and illumination” of the stars.

Leave the myths! Do you know how liberating it is to thank and bless the myth, and move on to a clearer, more current, higher-dimensional connection? I am beyond grateful for this impetus to release and be current.

Yes, the legacy of myth is important. Yet, in this quantum evolutionary time, getting unstuck from stories that might no longer fit and moving on to vibrational awareness, we lighten the load of the old story and open to the light and luminosity of the unfolding story.

This process has a steep learning curve. Star catalogs are high science; I need to learn how to read them, extract data, and interpret the information for application within a cosmically connected spiritual life. This is a work in progress, and I am on the case!

There are two weeks until the Solar Eclipse, the New Moon on August 11/12. With the support of the planets, bodies, and stars at the Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio points, the Fixed Cross at this Full Moon, please consider noticing which static function in your life is up for release. What are you surprised by that offers a quantum change to how you function? I would love to hear about it in the comments or through a message.

The Cosmic View at Full Moon

This Full Moon brings us closer to the midpoint of the Seasons, occurring August 6^th in the Southern Hemisphere, from winter to spring, and on August 7 in the Northern Hemisphere, from summer to fall.

These seasonal shifts are subtle, and for many, sensate awareness has been deeply muted. The more conscious we can make our connection with nature, the more resilient we become.

This Full Moon is also leading us toward eclipse season, with a solar eclipse on August 11/12. Here, the energies are also subtle as we build up to this transcendent gateway. Again, conscious awareness of subtle energies builds stamina.

As we approach these subtle energetic shifts, we are supported by the cosmic configurations at this Full Moon, as seen through the heliocentric coordinate.

The Sun and its helpers encourage us to keep discerning our continually evolving identities. We are up for second chances, with a soul-determined focus to align with the new order. A radio-powered pulsar works with the Sun to help us understand and receive cosmic support. There are two stars: one massive and evolved, radiating yellow light, and another highly magnified, beaming blue-white light. The stars radiate on a wide spectrum of light frequencies, giving us multiple chances to connect on a heart-resonant level.

Through the Earth/Moon point, we are supported by transforming in a kind, gentle, loving way. We can be inclusive with ourselves as we go through tremendous shifts.

The Taurus point gives us self-organizing energy that can withstand time/space warps. It is Taurus’ point that gives us the essence of this Full Moon: a weave of primordial emergence that spirals into higher-frequency functioning. A hot, yellow-white star and a cooler, orange star help us find this new alignment.

At the Scorpio point, there is a binary, white-blue star, a solid teacher of morphing, and a galaxy that helps us strengthen pure intention for the optimal use of our personal power. These energies also free us from the scars and the prisons of being judged.

Other bodies working with the Scorpio point help us weave light and shadow into stillness as needed, to clear the space to shine our brightest light. Two stars, one at the coolest range, broadcasts red, and another tending hot, with high magnification and beaming white, gives off strong hydrogen, life-force, energy.

May you release what is no longer needed, accept all parts of yourself for loving transformation, and be open to the glistening radiance of new possibilities.

Sometimes it’s good news. The boundless buoyancy of this time is undeniable.

For me, the ascension from 3D to higher dimensional frequencies shows up as:

Less fear, more in-the-moment presence. More joy.

Less thinking, freedom from fretting.

More discipline, particularly around choosing consistency in bedtime and body-compatible food choices.

Yes, devastating hardships and traumas based on cruel inhumanity continue everywhere around us. In response, the collective sacred heart gets stronger, and voices get firmer in expressing, no, that is not the way; we want inclusive kindness.

How are you changing? How are you rising in frequency and solidifying your conviction to unity?

Leo Ingress 2026

At Leo Ingress, with the counterbalance of Aquarius, we realize that it is time to take center stage. We must radiate our passionate light as it is part of, and integral to, the whole. In Taurus, we find our voice and our values. In Leo we find our passion and our Light. In Scorpio we claim our power, and in Aquarius we find our tribe, our belonging. All these qualities are heightened when the Sun is in a Fixed sign.

As the Sun enters Leo, it is conjoined by Bienor, a Centaur. Two Fixed Stars join the Earth/Moon. A Fixed Star at the Taurus point and two Superclusters, plus the Shapley Attractor, at the Scorpio point complete the Grand Square.

These cumulative energies solidify our mystic core, release outdated conditioning, and embody the courage that liberates us from fear and falsity.

Barbault’s Basket’s core configuration includes a Pluto/Aquarius Jupiter/Leo opposition with a square to Haumea/Scorpio and sextiles to Neptune/Aries and Sedna and Uranus/Gemini. The Heliocentric and deep space view adds a Supercluster, a galaxy, a Black Hole, multiple pulsars, Fixed Stars and Transneptunian planets.

These additions regenerate our capacity to live from internal cohesion, stabilized in the magnetic elegance of the heart, as part of, and on behalf of the whole.

What to do? How to access?

Come from heart. Drop from thought into feeling. Now is prime time for dropping down and into the expansive life force of our Sacred Hearts.

Befitting the binary nature of deep space energy now, including a binary star and a binary galaxy, there are two connected threads to this narrative.

The first thread is about claiming our fierceness. Long story short, I recently had to activate an internal alignment with one of the Fierce Female Deities in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon. This activation represented the purest need for ultimate self-care.

At times, and with certain people, there is a need to stand up for oneself with fierceness. Stretching to this range involves daily practice, a full-spectrum self-identity, and a realignment of kindness from soft and gooey to solid and sovereign.

The second thread is about discernment and avoiding the futility of overextension. Where to put one’s energy? What’s appropriate and aligned, and what is delusion and overreach? The galactic picture now shines light on the critical need for efficiency.

For me, these cosmic energies expose wasted time, choices, and lopsided priorities. Overextension is no longer an option. In this restructuring, crystal clear discernment results in assessing everything for absolute need, function, and use. Cutting out what is nonessential is more critical than ever.

Of course, this essentializing process is a practice, one choice at a time.

Read on for more information about how the cosmic picture frames these threads. If these threads are showing up in your life, please share your process.

The deep space energies directly connected with this Full Moon, using the Heliocentric Coordinate, are depicted in the graphic above. In addition to the bodies that have a direct link with the Full Moon through the cardinal signs, Cancer and Capricorn, Aries and Libra, many other deep space bodies, positioned throughout the whole zodiac, help us now. These bodies include Ceres, Chiron, and Eris. Haumea, Ixion, Jupiter, Makemake, Mars, Pholus, Pluto, Quaoar, Saturn, Sedna, Uranus, and Venus.

In essence, their combined messages include:

Be purposeful

Filter down to our true selves.

Decline the folly of overextension.

Use cutting-edge insightfulness to

Claim our authentic fierceness.

The light of the Cancer/Capricorn Full Moon prepares us to find our power for taking center stage in our own lives when the Sun rolls into Leo later in July.

Now is the time for authentic caretaking by releasing the extraneous and accepting the multifaceted dynamics of our sovereignty. To do that, we must claim our inner fierceness, free of fluff. We can now fuse Cancerian love with Capricorn authority for the integrated wisdom of wholeness. All parts are accepted, then filtered, then unified, or blessed and released.

Baseline: We are going through an unprecedented cosmic, quantum evolutionary transformation. Everything is changing: the cosmos, the Sun, the Earth, our consciousness, and our physicality. The shift is simultaneous on these multidimensional levels.

This change is delivered through space weather and downloads of invisible energies that move and disrupt the status quo, opening wider access to SuperGalactic consciousness. There has been a recent influx of these energies downloading onto the Earth plane. These downloads, or uploads, can affect our physical bodies, nervous systems, and emotions in ways that are both impactful and perplexing.

Personally, I have been impacted on a physical level, with full stops and great revelations about what needs to change, be adjusted, and be opened. While the ride is turbulent, the appreciation is deep for the opportunity to evolve during this unprecedented shift consciously.

The density of life I have encountered over the last five decades has grown so much thinner. It is remarkable to experience the newfound ease and openness between the visible and the invisible, between spirit and matter, between heart-to-heart connection.

Deep space astrology helps me understand the evolutionary turbulence on an energetic level. With this understanding, I can flow with the changes, as water flows around boulders and birds glide on moving air.

I hope that my work through this writing helps you, too. The cosmic energetics of this pivotal Sun in Cancer time, one of the four cardinal points of the astrological year, are below.

Cosmic Energies with the Sun in Cancer, 2026 Summer Solstice, Northern Hemisphere

This is a time of internal renewal.

We go deep and dark to find the new stabilization.

We are helped with:

Self-care that allows for stillness, presence, earnestness, and listening through the silence

Allowing our emotions to feel and then flow past what has left, what we have lost

Our grief, humility, and the expanded, connected, galactic, cosmic heart consciousness can stabilize us for regeneration

Possibilities

Align within the depth of core self

See through the dark

Anchor in self-love

Choose yourself

Allow the breath to come,

the light to radiate

Through your new, expanded peripheries

As I worked on this post, the awareness of how much I enjoy writing about Full Moons came into consciousness, along with the reason why. At the Full Moon, the coordinate that I love, Heliocentric, and the coordinate most astrologers use, Geocentric, are in alignment.

In the view from the Sun, the Heliocentric view, the Earth is always in conjunction with the Moon and both oppose the Sun. The Geocentric view, from Earth, shows the same configuration, with the Sun opposite the Earth and the Moon. The Sun opposite Earth/Moon represents an innate and organic alignment, the two endpoints of one line. The opposition bodes cooperation and collaboration, even as the aspect is called “opposition.”

The deep-space bodies helping us now reinforce the need and human desire to live in alignment despite the fluidity of ever-changing dynamics.

Sometimes, finding alignment demands a full stop. That happened to me recently, as I mentioned earlier. Multilayered stress, physical discomfort, and a house move brought me to a standstill.

It is through the help of family and friends, and the release of what’s done, that the new alignment takes shape. The snail’s-pace slowdown allows for expansion to higher capacities. The new life begins. How lucky we are to live this process.

The Deep Space View

The cosmic energy, now collaborating with us, releases imposed coercion, both external and internal, and frees our inner navigator. Two superclusters, a black hole, glitching and X-Ray Accretion pulsars, and Fixed Stars are all in the mutable square mix, helping us to free ourselves to be ourselves.

Early to mid-degrees of Gemini offer us a more buoyant experience of life, while the counterpoint of early to mid-degrees of Sagittarius helps us keep focus on what truly matters.

May the joy of this season bring you home to your core self, refreshed, renewed, and eager for change.

A Buddhist teacher tried to tell me forty years ago, and a boss tried to tell me ten years ago. I did not get it until a recent quantum breakthrough that also involved a full physical stop, and then the reading of Rob Brezsny’s astrological forecast for Aquarius for the week of May 14, 2026:

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cartographer Gerardus Mercator created his famous world map in 1569, enabling sailors to plot straight-line courses across oceans. But his technique dramatically distorts the size of landmasses. Greenland appears larger than Africa, when in reality Africa is 14 times bigger. And the truth is that every map privileges certain truths while distorting others. This is a key teaching for you right now, Aquarius. Examine the mental maps you’re using to navigate your life. Might they be hiding or warping reality in any way? Consider whether you would benefit from redrawing your inner visualizations of the wide, wild world out there.

I have read Rob’s work for years and consider him to be an open-hearted, wise man. My experience of his forecasts is spot-on, and I love how he includes so much in his writings about being human and connected.

This forecast aligns with a quantum leap that broke an ingrained pattern of overcomplicating life. I wanted to simplify, yet I was stuck.

Like many of you, I have recently had a breakthrough, a shift to higher possibilities, and with that, as often happens, was a physical response of shutdown. I suspect the physical stop was to acclimate and integrate the upload.

In this multilayered, multidimensional upgrade, and with the help of a kind, wise friend, one whom I experience as a living cosmic antenna, I simplified this work. It is simplified for me in the creation of it and hopefully, for you, dear reader, in receipt of it.

I am focusing on one purposeful aspect and its connection to the Sun/Earth/Moon and the Galactics, rather than including a look at multiple aspects.

Let’s see how this works. I would love your feedback.

Sending every blessing and wish for the integration and actualization of your multidimensional quantum breakthroughs. We are in a transformative time that is changing us all.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology is here, and he is also on Substack at .

Sun in Gemini

The aspect of focus at this Gemini, 2026 Ingress is the Uranus/Sedna conjunction at 2 degrees Gemini in both the Heliocentric and Geocentric Coordinates. The data below reflects the Heliocentric connections.

Sun

The Sun/Uranus/Sedna conjunction reinforces, enhances, and blasts us into an experience of extending our boundaries to infinite Love. The uplifted energy of Gemini Air provides the current to take us there.

The Fixed Stars conjunct the Sun at this ingress lead us to Higher dimensions, where we can be saturated in the visceral experience of unconditioned love through Source and within Self.

The opportunities and capacities to live love – for life, for self, for all beings -- accelerate. Let’s take advantage of this opening.

Earth/Moon

With our Sun in the dichotomous sign of Gemini, our Earth/Moon is in the sign of higher philosophy, Sagittarius. The far-out Dziewanna and Typhon conjunct the Earth/Moon and oppose the Sun. I have come to love these Scattered Disc Objects, and here is why:

Dziewanna’s father insisted that she marry, and her mother colluded with him. She rejected all their chosen mates. In testament to her supremacy, her eventual husband recognized her power and softened himself into a flower so that she could receive him.

This is the story of equitable male-female partnering, which we will see more of, because Typhon, another SDO, represents the energy of a typhoon. This cataclysmic weather event shakes things up and recalibrates the landscape. Typhon and Dziewanna are working together now to bring in the divine masculine and the divine feminine in equanimity.

Adding to this fusion energy is Goibniu, a Transneptunian Object that is representative of an Irish blacksmith who forges wisdom with power.

Pulsars are present, too, helping us sync to our own cosmic timing.

Virgo Points

The Virgo points include the Galaxy CR7 (Galaxy Cosmos Redshift). As one of the oldest and most distant galaxies, this group takes us way back, clearing the pathways to present consciousness. With the mutable signs, Gemini/Sagittarius/Virgo/Pisces, we can be flexible, more open to change that liberates us from stuck points.

The Cubewano Sila-Nunam is also included here in early Virgo, so aptly placed for its ability to help us integrate masculine/feminine, human/nature, and past/present/future.

Pisces Point

The Pisces point, NGC 7052, offers additional assistance in clearing the deep past for a cleaner today and tomorrow. This enormous Black Hole is equal to 300 million times the mass of our Sun.

Suggestions

The deep-space cosmic helpers at this Gemini 2026 Ingress represent energies from our deep past. We can take advantage of this by working with the pulsars, slowing down and living our own rhythm, and then allowing that deep, deep past to filter out and through.

The Sedna/Uranus connection blasts life wide open, beyond anything we could conjure. While the experience is likely to be turbulent, these bodies are working on our behalf.

A major shift I have had to make recently is asking for and accepting help. As I lived this opening, it became crystal clear that receptivity to help extends to cosmic kin and invisible helpers, like angels and other beneficent energies. May you open fully to this special and sacred time. May the deep ancient past inform and release what you no longer need or want. And all blessings for what you need and want.

As we arrive at the Taurus/Scorpio axis, the feeling of renewal is refined and powerful. I relate it to new aspects of my work that strengthen my sense of self, diminish old patterns, and magnetize me toward new territory. This choice requires letting go of outcomes by embracing each unfolding Yes.

I am entering a new home of Tauran Self-Value and Scorpionic mystery. This is true in the physical realm, with an actual move of residence, and in the metaphysical realm. For a while now, I have been following the breadcrumbs that have led to a new expression of my work on YouTube, specifically, Galactic Astrology, Microdosing with the Seasons, and the Decans.

This work magnetizes me through the Shapely Attractor and the forward momentum pull of Okyrhoe. The Centaurus-Hydra Supercluster plunges me deeper into my relationship with deep space, and Haumea suggests a new aspect of my work. With the Hylonome/Mercury/Pluto conjunction, I plunge through grief and fear – grateful for it while choosing forward-facing options. The current deep space activity invites me into a fuller engagement with others.

And I say Yes!

May your story unfold with magic, grace, and beauty in this transformative quantum leap time. I would love to hear about it in the comments or messaging.

Current Deep Space Energies

The graphic above shows an extraordinary amount of star power accompanying our Sun into the sign of Taurus. Two Superclusters, the Shapley Attractor, three fixed stars, multiple pulsars, and planets magnify the entry into the Tauran/Scorpionic axis. These earth/water fixed signs invite us into beauty, radiance, and multidimensionality, where we can live our value based on true, innate power that is neither inflated nor denied.

Using a planetary view, the graphic below shows the Grand Fixed square: a Sun-Earth/Moon opposition in the Heliocentric Coordinate, including Hylonome, Arawn, Mercury, and Pluto at the Aquarius point, and in late Cancer, almost Leo, a Jupiter-Centaur Bienor conjunction.

The Aquarius point planets offer renewal through deeper communication regarding our grief. The out-of-sign square in late Cancer points to a massive renewal of our sense of self and a new rhythm in life.

A Lived Experience

Taking care of oneself requires presence, and presence is fluid. To stay fluid, we must break through rigid and ingrained habits that restrict full conscious choice. Realizing that the Galactics are calling forth a theme of patience and play, my first response was to tense, look the other way, and rationalize that it does not apply to me. Yet, in my heart of hearts, I know that it does apply to me.

As one with Saturn rising, a firstborn daughter, and a boomer with an early-boomer work ethic, play is super challenging. I remember a medical astrologer in the 80s saying, during a lecture, that those with Saturn in the 1st house should not even attend the party. Fine by me, as I tend to live a hermitage life anyway.

One (small) part of me knows that play and imagination can take short, sweet forms like picking up paints and applying them to paper, and or dancing in the kitchen, howling at the Moon, or sitting on the porch watching the sky, or calling a friend for an impromptu tea, or a solitary date to the art museum. Or surprising a loved one with a treat. There are endless ways to incorporate play and imagination.

While I can grasp this rationally, living it experientially is a whole other dimension. I will let you know how it goes. Do let me know how it goes for you, either by adding play and imagination or becoming more patient.

The Deep Space Blessings at this Full Moon

The middle of the sign of Aries solidifies a new beginning for those in the Northern Hemisphere and deepens the process of release for those in the Southern Hemisphere. At this early stage of a three-month season, we need patience for the budding process of becoming or the beginning process of releasing, depending on our hemisphere. The magic and wonder that happen through play increase awareness of the present moment, regarding what we are building or releasing.

In both hemispheres, the cumulative impact of the deep space bodies listed above calls for us to live authentically. We need the rational, grounded energy that takes life seriously, and the imaginative essence that knows how to play and create through the openings of wonder and joy. No matter which hemisphere we are in, we are resetting the stage.

On the Aries/Libra axis, with its Self/Other dynamic, we are encouraged to express our renewed self. We need the rational, grounded energy that takes life seriously, and the imaginative essence that knows how to play and create through the openings of wonder and joy. No matter which hemisphere we are in, we are realigning to current potential.

If we have been entrenched on one side or the other, too serious or too frivolous, it is time to find the fulcrum point of balance that allows for both, in dynamic measures. Which side calls for more engagement from you?

May you have all the courage needed to express a fuller you.

A Lived Experience

There are multiple helpers within the deep space activity at the time of this New Moon and Spring Equinox. While they each deserve a special call-out, the one that most strongly calls to me is the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) NGC 4374, in conjunction with the Earth/Moon at 0 Libra.

This SMBH has a triaxial spin, weaving opposites into a third representation. The factor of three has captured my attention lately, and I have written before about the triad being a representation of the 5^th Dimension.

Recent ponderings have me considering that perhaps we need to integrate the three before moving from the 3rd Dimension into the 5th and higher Dimensions. We can each choose which triplicity serves as our anchor. A sampling of choices includes past, present, and future; masculine, feminine, and integrated; faith, hope, and charity; or body, mind, and spirit.

With increasing frequency, I see that the informing nature of a sensate body and rational thinking are accompanied by a third mysterious factor, unfathomable and completely out of my control. That third factor is Spirit. It is the unknown mechanism that brings resolution to a 22-month ordeal or a decades-long search for a satisfying answer to a health challenge.

Patience, tenacity, resilience, and being open to mystery, all within a field of surrender, are required. This awareness that my body and mind are in fluid, triaxial partnership with Spirit became crystal clear through the recent and sudden death of my 15-year-old feline companion, Rosie, full name Rose Light.

Ours was a complicated relationship, as relationships often are. The mystery of her Spirit leaving her body so shockingly unexpectedly has deeply opened me to the mandate to surrender and trust Spirit. I am a willing participant, with zero control.

The more presence and gratitude that I can bring to each precious moment, the better. The more conscious and active my informing, sensate body and the limitations of my mind partner with the unknown, unseen, beneficent, loving forces in life, the better the flow. There is less resistance, more surrender. This acceptance leads to more awe, more expansion, more relaxation, and more trust. In my research, NGC 4473 has helped me realize the role that the triplicity of body/mind/Spirit plays in my life.

On with the flow.

Current Deep Space Energies

The Sun in Aries regenerates, prompting realignment with authenticity. As experience builds year upon year, our physicality and psyche have layers of nested consciousness that benefit from spring cleaning. At the beginning of Aries, we can rout out stagnation, clearing the energetic field and thought forms as we spiral up into our new beginning.

In this time of multidimensionality, it helps to expand the view beyond polarities. A trifold view, at the very least, aligns us with greater possibilities. As you can see from the graphic depicting the deep-space contacts within the Cardinal Cross of this Eclipse, the energetic field is packed with multiple opportunities to expand our view.

Sun

Sun 0 Aries 00

Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 0 Aries 03

Pisces-Cetus Supercluster 00 Aries 16

Fried Egg Galaxy, NGC 7742 0 Aries 43

BH 3U 0532-66 00 Aries 40

Neptune 1 Aries 50

Saturn 4 Aries 33

Fixed Star Kerb 1 Aries 21

These energies, combined with our Sun, offer opportunities for coherence between the unconscious and higher consciousness. A cosmic energy of counterrotation shakes things up, allowing for the embodiment of heaven on earth. Allow for fresh experiences of mystic reverence and awe in ordinary life.

Earth/Moon

Earth/Moon at 0 Libra, working with the SuperGalactic Center, two Black Holes, and the KBO Kagara, spins multiple parts of ourselves into new integration. We are prompted to stay grounded despite emotional shake-ups and focus on our unique star potential. We are helped when we include pleasure and joy with discipline. This combo leads us to the golden nugget: a direct experience of belonging. The action is triple-axial, involving movement that aligns the inner heart with the outer persona.

Capricorn Points

Varda 29 Sagittarius 40

Black Hole GRS 1758-258 V4643 Sgr 1 Capricorn 16

PSR 1802-07 00 Capricorn 31

XTE J1807-294 01 Capricorn 31

SAX J1808.4-3658 01 Capricorn 44

Alnasl, 1 Capricorn 16

The sky goddess Varda, a KBO, has a uniting energy, while the BH suggests a pause as we wait for more information to be revealed. Four pulsars suggest that we use this time to perceive subtle messages through the felt perception of our cosmic connections. The Fixed Star Alnasl affirms this depth of focus and alignment with purpose.

Cancer Points

Dusty Hand Galaxy, NGC 2146 1 Cancer 38

PSR 0559-57 01 Cancer

The Dusty Hand Galaxy deepens our transformative process at this pivotal Equinox. The galaxy’s energies help us brush away shadows and debris, clearing space for new life to burst forth. We are helped by being responsive to subtle and quick inspirations. The pulsar here echoes the need for deep listening.

Lived Experience

The fluid grace of a turkey vulture encircled overhead, gliding through a spacious sky. Mesmerized by its power, grace, and beauty, I prayed to receive its message with an open heart.

At my desk later that morning, I had Philip Sedgewick’s masterpiece work, The Soul of the Sky, open and ready for research. Serendipitously, a page opened that I had not seen before, despite having referenced this work for decades.

The page that popped up detailed an association with birds and deep-space bodies. My jaw dropped, my heart opened wider, and my sacrum synced with Earth as I read that the Turkey Vulture is associated with the SuperGalactic Center (ZGC).

Readers who have done a deep-space guided imagery session with me will know that the SuperGalactic Center is my favorite hangout. I love it there for the direct experience of infinite love saturated within silent stillness.

While the ZGC is not actively engaged with this Full Moon Eclipse, what is active is the energetic imprint of invisible, Sourced supporters, wholeheartedly available to us now. As our consciousness rises, so, too, do our capacities for connection with loving cosmic support.

Whomever your invisible helpers are, your Source supporters, may you walk with them in confidence as you increase happiness and joy, and raise frequency, stretching with the quantum consciousness of now.

Current Deep Space Energies

Heliocentrically, the Sun is at 13 degrees Pisces, with a Jupiter decan, and the Earth/Moon is at 13 degrees of Virgo, with a Venus decan. Together with the deep space helpers at the Gemini and Sagittarius points of the mutable square, what has been hidden is now revealed. Through these revelations, a values-based discernment expands our direct experience of unity consciousness. As you can see from the planetary graphic, the number of deep-space bodies involved is minimal, yet with the Great Attractor involved, the energies are compelling.

Sun

The Sun is joined by the asteroid Pallas Athena and a pulsar that asks us to flow between breakthrough and integration with the single-minded focus of a spiritual warrior.

Earth/Moon

The Vela Supercluster joins the Earth/Moon. Vela represents hidden consciousness, graced in a deep feminine presence. Actively coordinating with our grounding Earth and emotional Moon, these energies offer the immense benefit of surety that we are not alone.

Sagittarius Points

The Centaur, ex-Comet Hidalgo, and the pulsar Swift J1626.6-5156 add to the theme of discernment and long-term strategy, as put forth in the book, The Art of War. These celestial bodies represent strategy at the level of a chess master, in contrast to hand-to-hand combat.

Gemini Points

The Hidden Galaxy and the pulsar XTE J0421+560 complete the grand mutable square of deep-space objects. These energies mirror the theme of trusting what motivates us on inner levels as we process ancestral learning.

As shared in the post two weeks ago, we now close out an eclipse portal that has revealed the potential for new creations. It helps to go forward with a single-minded focus on what has been revealed for us to create. A change in outlook can be considered a creation, setting in motion unseen and seen mechanics that improve our lives.

Cyg X-3’s Little Friend: A Stellar Circle of Life Image credit: https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2016/cygx3/

A Lived Experience

My 79^th Solar Return (birthday) occurred a few days ago. In my worldview, the birthday is a very sacred time, one that warrants bearing witness. For decades, I have observed this solar turning with a three-day personal retreat; the day before, on, and the day after. My hope is to listen closely and feel the turn as an inner experience.

While I have great health and live vibrantly, the solar return message that came through this year is that death is ahead, closer rather than farther away. This birthday was an occasion to own that consciousness.

The mystery of death, reincarnation, and the time in between, and how to live with awareness that life is fleeting and this life will one day end, are questions my heart holds. I want to walk consciously with the end years, the old age of life. My wish and prayer is to dance consciously with our eternal flow of form to emptiness, and emptiness to form. The stars show us that transition so well.

This time, between eclipses, is a perfect reminder to listen for the gifts along the spiral of life's openings and closings.

Current Galactic Blessings

Energies emanating from the Sun/Earth/Moon axis of Aquarius/Leo at the 29^th degree in the Heliocentric chart encourage us to keep creating, even if our current creations are ahead of their time. The spiral process of evolution helps us recognize integration as consciousness shifts to higher frequencies. We are constantly blessed with a guiding North Star that weaves cohesion through a fusion of layered learning.

A transfusion of Light moves the static and stuck into new luminescence. Being willing to let go of who we thought we were, or were supposed to be, and allowing for a fluid transmutation of who we are in an ever-evolving renewal helps tremendously.

Sourced from the deep unconscious, the bodies in the Scorpio square help us fuse power with wisdom as we dynamically integrate true inner authority and the Divine Feminine/Masculine.

The cosmic helpers at the Taurus square remind us to discern our truth, sustain our pure heart, and draw on our deepest roots while staying open to the higher dimensions. The energy of unwavering maternal love sustains us as we propel forward into a new evolution of self/heart/consciousness.

Staying centered in our pure heart as a navigational guide is key in these fluid times of advanced consciousness.

A Lived Experience

Softly, and always with surprise, puzzle pieces resolving a decades-long obstacle are falling into place. It is a most remarkable time as effort yields to effortlessness. Drudgery and fear, imprisoned by fight, leave the space, revealing a direct experience of love and trust. I am in awe, feeling right-side up.

On the personal level, I meet myself in a wholeness I have not known. And on the collective level, we are becoming whole, too. With profound gratitude to the brave and loving people of Minnesota, thank you for leading the way, for standing up for all of us, living as One.

The death of the old paradigm is brutal and extremely painful. And our sacred Earth is also undergoing abrupt, alarming eruptions: landslides, earthquakes, a 2000-mile extreme weather event in the Northern Hemisphere, stifling heat in the Southern Hemisphere, and more.

On the personal, collective, and galactic levels, it is wake-up time. The planetary picture that illuminates this Full Moon pierces the shadows that have bound us, untangling obstacles that have prohibited us from working collaboratively, within self and with one another. Alienation is over; we are emerging from the heart of darkness as we awaken to the fabric of connection and the weave of the personal with the transpersonal, with the galactic, the One.

A Deep Space Story of Now

At this Full Moon, the Sun is at 14 Aquarius, decan Mercury and the Earth/Moon in Leo, decan Jupiter. This cosmic energy helps us expand our capacity for communication that beams personal radiance into the collective sphere. There are relatively few deep-space bodies in the Full Moon configuration, yet those present penetrate shadows with intensity.

As depicted in the graphic above, the Sun in Aquarius is with Cygnus X-1 and eight pulsars within a two-degree orb. The Earth/Moon in Leo is with the Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) Achyls and the Fixed Star Acubens.

Completing this deep-space fixed grand square are the bodies in Scorpio, the Centaurs Petraios and Elatus, the ultraluminous infrared galaxy APR 220, the Scattered Disc (SDO) Zhulong, and TNO Taowu. Closing the circle, in Taurus, is the galaxy cluster Abell 400, two Fixed Stars, Almach and Menkar, and the extragalactic 3U 0539-64.

A core message of this collaborating configuration is that we must penetrate delusion and live from soul-sourced knowing. This alignment may require course correction and will certainly involve clearing the debris of what no longer fits.

Cygnus X-1 helps us see through the dark and stay true to ourselves while weaving a spiral of past/present/future. This energy center, Black Hole, helps us shed past conditioning and open to our intuitive knowing. The intensity of eight pulsars works in concert with the Sun and Cygnus X-1, illuminating hidden parts lurking in the shadows.

Pulsars beam magnetic energy from dying stars in repetitive bursts of rhythmic light. We are deeply encouraged to receive the message, as these beams repeatedly display specific pulsing patterns. We feel the vibrations in our nervous system, and it helps to pay attention to this level of messaging. As remnants of dying stars, they carry wisdom from our deep past.

In this cohort of eight, six pulsars are accreting, meaning they interact with another star, and two produce X-ray energy, which penetrates matter. The pulsar collaboration with the Sun and Cygnus X-1 pierces through delusions that have blocked our progress.

Collaborating intimately with the Earth/Moon in the mid-degrees of Leo is the recently named TNO Achlys. This sacred body represents the transition between life and death. Her energy is about surrender and release. She offers the guiding light of sorrow as we transition between endings and beginnings, helping us through these portal crossings.

The Fixed Star Acubens offers strategic power, effectiveness, and timely maneuvering in times of critical, life-and-death challenges.

APR 220 Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Image Processing: Alyssa Pagan (STScI)

The Scorpio Points

The piercing intensity of this time stems from APR 220, an ultraluminous infrared galaxy that, in mid-Scorpio, squares the Sun and the Earth/Moon opposition. IC 1127 is a Black Hole within this galaxy and is known as the brightest object in the local universe. With this body’s help, we can penetrate the heart of our darkness and see through to the light. Infrared light helps us embody, ground, and stabilize newly illuminated consciousness.

The Centaurs collaborating here include Petraois and Elatus. Petraois is associated with crucifixion as a consequence of stubborn willfulness. With this Centaur’s help, we pierce shadow parts, grounding in a new alignment. Elatus endorses cooperation with nature for transcending fear. This Centaur helps us see the chain of events that unfold when we stubbornly resist the openings that support natural alignment.

Topping this collaboration is the SDO Zhulong, who helps us bridge the often rough transition between day and night, light and dark, life and death. Zhulong breathes light and colour into the endless flow of form into emptiness, and emptiness into form.

Representing the intensity of these times is the TNO Taowu, one of the Four Perils in Chinese mythology. This body reflects violent brutality as a result of stubborn ignorance. We have seen this energy represented in humanity and through the Earth’s turmoil. Taowu also represents the constant flux of being and non-being, expressed through the perpetual flow of light/dark, life/death, emptiness into form, form into emptiness.

The critical task of overcoming our darkness is what we face now. We need to go through the disorder and stabilize within the rebirth. The Taowu Zhulong conjunction, squaring the Sun and the Earth/Moon opposition, blesses us with light that penetrates ignorance and savagery. In this process, we leave layer upon layer of the past behind to emerge as untainted, clearer, purer representations of our original blueprints.

APR 220 Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Image Processing: Alyssa Pagan (STScI)

The Taurus Points

The Abell 400 galaxy cluster is a field of collective consciousness. Within it is the dumbbell galaxy NGC 1128, comprised of two Supermassive Black Holes spiraling toward one another. We are coming to meet ourselves. These energies are initiatory, offering a galactic thread that weaves the personal with the collective and into the galactic.

The Fixed Star Almach anchors us in the steadiness of Divine Support, and Menkar helps us bring the unconscious into consciousness.

Extragalactic and located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the binary system of a Black Hole and a potent star, 3U 0539, AKA LMC-X3, helps us transmute a hidden past into current consciousness.

Specific and concise, these deep-space energies encourage us to make the most of the Northern Hemisphere winter and see through the darkness to how we can evolve into higher frequencies of consciousness. In the Southern Hemisphere, at the height of Summer Light, we are encouraged to receive the new light radiating through cosmic consciousness, streaming from deep space and our Sun. In both hemispheres, the whole of us, we are invited to take off the blinders and see the truth that reveals itself anew in this unfolding time.

A Lived Experience

The cosmic energies emerging from deep space now encourage us to release, stabilize, and renew. The messages come from a multitude of deep-space bodies, including a violently ruptured galaxy that rotates in non-circular motion, a massive Black Hole with energies that strip away the core, eliminating non-essentials, and the Shapley Attractor, whose massive magnetism pulls us forward.

This troika of release, stabilization, and renewal spins me in a field of not knowing. We can only do one thing at a time; it seems we need to transcend conceptualization and the rigidity of compartmentalization, giving each part the care it deserves while allowing for cohesive flow. Trying to stay aligned with this process underscores my ongoing challenge of living from the plasma body rather than the carbon-based body that is bound by gravity.

Yes, I am here on Earth where gravity rules. Yet my physicality and consciousness resonate with a floating awareness of life functioning by plasma. As I wrote in an earlier post, I identify most strongly with the galactic filaments. These coherently cohesive substances unite the varied compositions of galaxies into a fluid and unified whole. They do not operate solely by gravity; they are also magnetic.

Science tells us that heart radiance transcends all borders and boundaries; it seems like our consciousness and physicality are moving in that direction, too. If you have similar experiences of floating through life on plasmic flow, I would love to hear from you.

Below, I have broken down the deep-space energies aligned with the four angles of the Cardinal Cross happening now: the Sun in Capricorn, the Earth/Moon in Cancer (Heliocentric), and the other deep-space bodies at the Aries and Libra angles. Because the New Moon is at the last degrees of Capricorn, there are crossover alignments with the early degrees of the Fixed signs, too.

I hope that at least one of the sections listed below offers a direct connection of support from our loving Cosmos.

Current Deep Space Configurations

The 29^th degree of Capricorn is infused with the flavor of the Sun (decan), so our Sun and its collaborating energies now encourage embodiment that shines our Sol. All the helpers in the deep-space grand square configuration provide energetic support for this process.

The Stellar Mass Black Hole, 3U 0540-69, works with our Sun, helping us transmute and shed layers as we evolve. The Fixed Star Aladfar, violet in color, assists in processing fear and grief, which is timely help given the prominent placement of Hylonome, which also collaborates with the Sun. This Centaur mirrors the experience of being grief-stricken over loss. Through the transformative power of deep grief, she helps us evolve into radiant, self-sustaining autonomy. The Fixed Star Altair ups our perspective and expands the view beyond conditioned options. Arawn, a Transneptunian planet, represents love that is just and fair, with a strong sense of self that goes beyond the ordinary concept of time.

The Sun and its collaborators help us overcome the binding that constricts our freedom. This delicate process involves tending to our grief so we can release it and accept its gifts of a strengthened sense of self.

Earth/Moon Collaborations

Two galaxies hang out with the Earth/Moon now. The Cigar Galaxy encourages us to support our own self-knowing rather than fall for societal “norms.” It is a starburst galaxy, where new stars burst forth, suggesting new life when we look beyond normative constraints.

Bode’s Galaxy is a grand design spiral galaxy with a dark matter halo. This halo suggests that there is value in processing unconscious content. Bode’s Galaxy also coordinates its flow with surrounding galaxies, implying that keeping things moving can foster harmonic coherence with others.

While the Sun and its helpers promote release, the Earth/Moon and its helpers open collaborative channels that offer greater freedom, especially when we allow unconscious content to come to light.

Cigar Galaxy ESA/Hubble & NASA, W. D. Vacca

Aries/Taurus Collaborations

M32 is a supermassive black hole with no new star formation. Its energy has been stripped to the core. Here, stillness calms us as we reflect on trauma and loss.

Dioresta, a newly named Damacloid with rare retrograde motion, advises us to stop with the excuses. It is time to get real. The Fixed Star Alrisha bridges duality, inviting a direct experience of unity. Mirach evokes vulnerability and the capacity to receive help with grace. Ceres represents the Great Mother who knows firsthand that the transformative experience of grief can deepen care of self and others.

Stripped to core identity, reflecting on learnings through loss and trauma, embracing vulnerability, we jump the divide of duality. These Aries/Taurus points deepen the process of release and offer refinement that opens the way for harmonic collaborations endorsed by the Earth/Moon and its helpers.

The Libra/Scorpio Collaborations

These bodies close out the cardinal square, helping us take advantage of the opportunities that this time offers. The Meathook Galaxy at the end of Libra is named for its appearance. One arm of the galaxy extends in forward motion, and the other arm folds back upon itself using non-circular motion. This galaxy was shaped by violence that ruptured its flow. Like what has happened for us, during certain transformative times of our lives.

The Centaurus-Hydra Supercluster at 0 Scorpio 33 is structured like a spinal column. It connects the multiheaded animal/man energies of Hydra with the wounded healer animal/man energies of Centaurus. Bordering the Sculptor Void, it serves as a boundary keeper, as it is also positioned at the front of the Laniakea Supercluster. This supercluster blesses us with healing deeply rooted unconscious content that dates back through eons.

Couple these energies with the Ophiuchus Supercluster at 1 Scorpio 23, which supports a transition from what is outdated and dying into emerging new life. This Supercluster is bound by toroidal plasma and electromagnetic forces, allowing for fluidity beyond the bounds of gravity. Think heartmind energy that accesses connection beyond structure or boundaries. As shared above, this significant change of, or perhaps return to, modus operandi has my full attention.

The pièce de resistance is the Shapley Attractor at 2 Scorpio 21. This body offers internal alignment, freedom from fear, and release of false identities. The massive, energetic push forward that this body provides supports everything we are working on at this cosmic time.

Added to all this is the conjunction with Haumea, the deep space planet that models unconstrained rebirth.

Dear readers, it helps so much to feel connected and to know we are in this together, releasing the old, stabilizing, and heartfully emerging new. The world looks dire from the perspective of what is dying. As devastatingly tragic as that experience is, another view and outcome are building. Giving focus to the internal life that is generating within us helps the new come about. May you take tender care, align with the love of our living cosmos, and live by your inner depths in these transformative times.

If you would like to learn about the superclusters, galaxies, and deep-space bodies working directly with you, consider a chart reading or a guided imagery session to inform and enhance those connections.

Lived Experience

Life surprises us with serendipitous gifts, such as an article that floats into one’s field, blasting open fixed thinking. This transcending experience happened for me through a fortuitous find of Bibhu Dev Misra’s “Supermassive Black Hole or Galactic Consciousness article.

Mishra proposes that repeated assertion allows a faulty hypothesis to become a theory despite anomalous evidence that contradicts it. The specific anomalies he found are that Black Holes have magnetic fields rather than accretion discs, and that these fields emit electromagnetic radiation and jets of plasma. In contrast to swallowing up everything that comes too close, he found that Black Holes are massively vast fields of star formation.

Contrasting this observational evidence with a cumulative review of transcultural spiritual traditions, Mishra proposes that Black Holes represent “central engines” of intelligence that guide our cosmos.

Repeatedly, I have had direct experience of the living love connection between the Galactic Center and the SuperGalactic Center, and my body and heart-mind. If you have participated in one of my guided imagery sessions where we travel to the Galactic Center and SuperGalactic Center, or if you have had an experience like this elsewhere, you know that the energies of these cosmic bodies are alive, loving, informing, and reciprocal.

Reading Mishra’s article validates direct experience over conceptual knowing. This awakening aligns with the deep space configurations at the Capricorn/Cancer Full Moon as we begin the new calendar year. The invitation is to strip down to essentials, release the binders of habituation, and stay open to the continual expansion of consciousness that the Cosmos, our Sun, Earth, and we go through.

Letting go of rigid thinking frees us from manipulation and false, outdated loyalties. In our sovereignty (Capricorn), we are not responsive to manipulation or coercion, and we certainly do not try those controlling tactics on others.

As humans, we are in for an upgrade that prompts us to let go of who we were, what we thought, and any outdated habits, and allow for the spiraling up of our constantly evolving cosmic consciousness.

After reading his article, I searched for more from Mishra and found an interview with Heather Ensworth, in which they discuss this article. There is a vast global community of us rising to the moment. As this year lifts off, so do we. Together, we are on a universal path that unfolds beauty, grace, opportunity, and love through cosmic connection.

The Cosmic Picture Now

At the fresh start of this new year, the Sun and Moon bless us with fullness at the 14^th degree of the Capricorn/Cancer axis. Here, the energetic imperative is to align with what is essential. In this bare-bones restart, there is no time for anyone or anything that takes us away from core alignment with our desires and purpose. Deep space connections with the Sun/Earth/Moon support this imperative.

Our Sun conjuncts the super star, Vega, representative of the grace and beauty of the Divine Feminine, with the essential Capricorn message of embodying consciousness. Vega reminds us that we expand consciousness through care, particularly the physicality of movement. Fluidity in mind/body movement is an overall theme now.

In the heliocentric coordinate, the Earth and Moon are together and always opposite the Sun. Here, the Earth/Moon are conjunct the super star Sirius A, known as the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius A represents birthright and helps us make the unconscious conscious. It is a most powerful energy for lighting our inner way.

The Fixed Star Dziban is also with this group of Earth/Moon, and Sirius A. Dziban is a binary star associated with penetrating truth. While somber in nature, Dziban opens creativity based on emotional resonance.

A grand cardinal cross is in effect in the deep space picture. Leleakuhonua and the Fixed Star Alpheratiz are at the Aries points, and Logos, the Sombrero Galaxy, two Super Massive Black Holes, and the fixed Star Algorab are at the Libra points.

Leleakuhonua, a Sednoid, has a rotation of 698 years and is of Polynesian/Hawaiian origin. This body predates gender, and its name is a verb, signifying action rather than fixed identity. Its extreme orbit detaches it from gravity, representing the wandering, exile, and border-crossing experiences that free us from structure. Leleakuhonua was known as a navigational guide for sailors, with a link between heaven and earth, yet going beyond that boundary.

The conjunction with fixed star Alpheratz reinforces Leleakuhonua’s freedom, as this star represents an inner experience that is unconstrained and accessible to infinite consciousness. Both Leleakuhonua and Alpheratz harness the power of solitude, leading to sovereignty and connection to our mystic core.

At the Libra point of this grand cardinal square, the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH), NGC 4697, emphasizes letting go of what has no resonance. The Sombrero Galaxy is another massive system with an equivalent of one billion Suns. The imperative here is to stay true to oneself, with the awareness that consciousness continues to expand. Attempts to dilute true desires, through acquiescence or regressive fears, do not work now, if they ever did. We must be brave and allow the universe to pull us forward.

The Fixed Star Algorab, also here, calls on us to be conscious and just, while declining to play games or be manipulative. The loving Transneptunian Logos is also here, helping us flow with the unending movement of emptiness into form, form into emptiness, and the reflective process of chaos morphing into order. Logos represents a higher frequency of consciousness, which, like the bodies mentioned above, transcends boundaries and borders.

The other SMBH here, RX J1242-11, is super luminous and 100 million times the size of our Sun. This body experienced an orbital change due to passing by another star, and then was pulled apart by tidal gravity, like the tides pulling our ocean’s waters. This black hole emphasizes the theme of this Full Moon: staying true to self, despite turbulence that might tear us apart.

In summary, the deep space bodies gracing us at this Full Moon suggest that we focus our attention on what is essential and stand in that power. We are encouraged to own our desires and purpose, and to resist manipulation. At this pivotal point of New Year lift-off, paring down to what is essential syncs us with the zodiacal year as it unfolds beauty, grace, opportunity, love, and support.
