This week’s article is coming out under the light of an Aquarius Moon. The Sun just moved into Gemini and, along with the asteroids Pelion, Askalapus, and Hybris, the North Node of the Moon sits at the 22nd degree of Taurus. According to Marc Edmund Jones, AKA, the ‘Dean of American Astrologers’ the Sabian Symbol for the 22nd degree of Taurus reads like this:
“A WHITE DOVE FLYING OVER TROUBLED WATERS”
KEYNOTE: ‘The spiritual inspiration that comes to the individual in the overcoming of crisis’
‘Here also we are confronted with a symbol of guidance, and the dove flying over troubled waters reminds one of the story of Noah and the Ark. Noah met his and mankind’s crisis courageously and in complete obedience to God’s promptings. The test completed, he received the dove’s message. It is a message from the Holy Spirit announcing a new Dispensation. This symbolic scene can be applied to personal crises resulting from emotional upheavals or from the irruption of unconscious forces and impulses into the consciousness – if the crisis has been faced in the right spirit.’
‘A REWARD TO THE FAITHFUL’
It just so happens that Pelion and Hybris are stationed at the same degree of Taurus. Pelion shows up whenever insurmountable obstacles have been faced and overcome. It marks the point where against all odds, truth and light triumph over the darkness.
In its most mundane expression Hybris is what we attract to ourselves when the ego gets too big for its breeches. Pride, and arrogance are its lackeys, and both of them come before a fall. How this plays out in the next week or so, is anyone’s guess. With both Hybris and Pelion conjunct the North Node, AKA, the point of fulfillment, or the direction that humanity is heading in, I am betting on the idea that more than a few big names will fall off their perch between now and the first week of June. The asteroid Siva squares this configuration, which loans weight to the idea that as far as the war in heaven is concerned, everything is on the line right now.
The Centaur Amycus, along with the Trans-Neptunian point Arawn, are forming a conjunction with Pluto that will be active for a while. Amycus translates as, an overwhelming lust for power and control, in the hands of people who are willing to do anything to attain it. Amycus had no respect for the soul of integrity - he sold his soul to ‘The Father of Lies’.
Arawn is the exact opposite. In Welsh mythology, Arawn was a powerful white magician who reigned like a god in a perfect world where there was no disease, and where food and drink were plentiful. In addition to his magical abilities, Arawn was a hunter. He lorded over a pack of hounds and guess what? Whenever they were on the hunt their aim was to track down and kill ‘The souls of the damned’.
At the moment, Amycus and Arawn are hanging out in the same room with Pluto. Pluto is the Lord of Hell; he is the King of the Underworld. How do you suppose these guys are getting along? Do I need to spell it out? If the (5)-(G) hasn’t totally fried your brain, maybe you can still think. If you need a point of reference, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a bunch of books about this. Tolkien was light years ahead of his time. It might be time to re-read ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’, ‘The Two Towers’, and ‘The Return of the King’ just to tune in to what Tolkien was getting at - because if I am right about the idea that he was on to something, it would appear that this is where things are at right now.
I’ve got a list of aspects that could keep us here all day; among other things, Rhiphonos is opposing Borasisi and both of them are squaring Chaos. The short form on this would be ‘It pays to keep an open heart and do everything in your power to support the cause of Truth and Light, or volunteer to be the ‘designated’ driver, whenever chaos reigns and when the outside world is coming face to face with the Devil himself’. To top it all off, Apophis is squaring Hades – not to add to whatever it is that none of us want to hear but, the nutshell translation of this would be, ‘The deepest, most ancient tentacle of the root of all evil is being exposed to the light’.
Do I overdramatize these things? Transiting Ophelia is conjunct my Virgo Sun right now, so maybe; Ophelia can be hysterical. Take all of the above for what it’s worth and wait for the proof to show up in the pudding – or not.
Aside from all of this, for those of you who love astrology and want to learn more about it, I am including an excerpt from one of my classes in this article. The words that follow delve into a question that one of my students asked in the wake of a series of unfortunate events that shook her up enough to want to know what the stars had to say about it. Her story falls in line with what the Sabian Symbol for 22-degrees Taurus had to say about things, earlier in this article:
'This symbolic scene can be applied to personal crises resulting from emotional upheavals or from the irruption of unconscious forces and impulses into the consciousness – if the crisis has been faced in the right spirit.’
I hope you enjoy it –

DEBORAH’S STORY
To give you some background, let’s start with an email that Deborah sent to me on May 8th:
‘Hi Cal
I know you are busy but I am asking for help. It has been a crazy week. Matthew (adopted son) 1-5-01, Conway Arkansas, age 21, broke two vertebrae last SAT. Yesterday our cottage was destroyed by fire. We heard a crackle and saw smoke and got out but it went up like tinder. High winds didn'y help but God's grace saved and several volunteer fire fighters and neighbors saved neighboring properties. Could you look to see if you can give any advice/insight into what is going on in my chart (9-6-59 7:11 pm Cortland NY) . I have a lot of fear and almost feel like I should stay in bed forever.
Thanks I understand if you are unable.
Love you
Deborah’
You have copies of Deborah’s charts – I sent you Matthew’s chart too. Keep them handy. As yet I don’t have a program that inserts all of the asteroids that I use in my interpretations – I have to write those in by hand. I will be referring to certain aspects that include those asteroids. Just so you know.
I don’t even know where to start with this one. At first I got stuck thinking that Matthew’s accident, and the house fire were just bad luck – until I realized, that no matter how bad things look at any given time, everything is happening for our benefit. With that in mind I started digging around in Deborah’s chart to find out why these recent events were in reality, backhanded gifts from God.
As far as the house fire goes, whenever fires are part of the picture, (or firearms, or explosions, or issues with any type of machinery, motors, furnaces, 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, internal combustion engines, or temper tantrums) right off the bat I ask myself, ‘Where is Zeus in the natal chart? Where is Zeus in transit or progression?’ Why is Zeus the one that comes to mind? It helps to think of it this way; Zeus was the God who liked to toss his thunderbolts around. He governs lightning. Thunder and lightning and ‘sparks’ = FIRE: fire in the literal sense, and the fire that gets lit under our asses when it’s time to wake us up and help us smell the coffee.
The rising sign moves one degree every four minutes. It is constantly shifting. At any given moment, what we call the ascendant is defining what’s going on around us. It is what we are looking at whenever we look up long enough to notice the circular plane of experience that is circumscribed by the horizon line and that we sit in the center of. You could say the the sign on the ascendant tells us what is going on, on the physical level in the ever present ‘NOW’. At the time of the house fire, transiting Zeus was exactly conjunct Deborah’s DRACONIC ascendant.
The fact that the Zeus-Ascendant conjunction was taking place in Deborah’s Draconic chart tells us that this is a Soul lesson. That it wasn’t just an unfortunate, ‘shit happens’ type of occurrance – the fire was meant to help Deborah understand something about herself.
In order to find out what the fire was all about we have to dig into Deborah’s ‘stuff’. Before we get going, it will help you to know that Deborah is a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School; she is a Barbara Brennan Healer. This is a big deal. The Brennan work is the Rolls Royce of energy work. In my conversations with Deborah, when I ask her about her practice, she has told me that she isn’t practicing right now – she says that she doesn’t feel qualified, or good enough to be doing that work. (Keep this in the back of your mind as we go along)
Here's another thing that needs to be considered: Deborah was born in 1959; she is 62, going on 63 years old. The 63rd year is a big year; 9 X 7 = 9, seven year cycles – or, 7, nine year cycles. In my world, nothing really begins to kick in until the 60th year – and the age of 63 is huge. If you haven’t sold out, fallen ill, or fallen into the coma that so many of us become subject to after six decades in the 3-D gauntlet, the 63rd year is when the ‘real stuff’, the real purpose for living starts cooking. So, a) whether Deborah knows it or not, she’s got a big purpose, and b) this is the moment in time when that purpose is getting activated.
We can only talk about one thing at a time so, because Donna’s son and his injury is part of this picture, let’s start with Matthew. We don’t have his birth time so we don’t know what his rising sign is – I did a ‘Solar chart’ for him, casting it for Noon and putting the Sun on the ascendant. Matthew was adopted when he was a tiny baby. As you can see from his chart he has a lot of activity in Capricorn:
This concentration of Capricorn energy is intense to say the least. If we knew his birth time we could say more about it, but, even without the birth time, the fact that all of this energy is clustered around Matthew’s Capricorn South Node has meaning.
The South Node is, the ass end of the Tribal Axis. Due to it’s relationship with the Moon’s orbit, it is also referred to as the past life end of the ‘Maternal Axis’. This tells us that there’s a big old story with his Mom. Without getting too much into it, we could say that there are complex (Arachne) issues with Matthew’s birth mother. These issues could have turned lethal (Siva-Hygeia) during, or shortly after his birth, for her, or for him.
With Astraea part of the picture the whole story holds space for the idea that ‘The Cord’ (Astraea is the Fate that cuts the cord when things are over) or the connection between Matthew and his Mum was severed soon after his birth. Because the Sun and Siva are part of this planetary picture, and because all of this takes place in Capricorn (The sign of the archetypal father) it’s possible that Matthew’s birth father (Sun = father indicator, Siva = can be a father indicator) played a crucial role in all of this. Regardless of what the details involve, the cluster of planets on the South Node point to the idea that Matthew was separated from his parents at birth or soon after he was born. Without considering all these details, by itself, a Capricorn South Node has an Oliver Twist ring to it; ie - the birth, the childhood, the maternal connection was hard.
This idea is compounded by a secondary conjunction between Pluto, Ceres, Sisyphus, and Orpheus. By itself, a Ceres-Pluto conjunction translates as, the birth experience was a near death experience. To add to the intensity, this cluster of planets squares the asteroid Siwa (Siwa/Siva – two separate bodies that have an identical impact – both are lethal) God knows what was going on when Matthew was born but it was a hard, dark, complicated affair and his cellular memory was tattooed with it.
At the moment, transiting Pluto is conjunct the midpoint between Siwa, and Pluto, Sisyphus, Ceres, and Orpheus. This translates as the original wound is getting T-boned by a heavy duty influence. If the original wound was a near death experience, we could postulate that 21-years down the road, another near death experience might be part of the picture. (More on this later; keep it in mind)
In a conversation with Deborah, she told me that Matthew has self worth issues that stem from the fact that he was given up for adoption. He has no closure on that experience at this point – this lack of closure is evidenced by Astraea’s presence in the aspect pattern. What also has to be taken into account is that Matthew is only 21-years-old. At his age, he has yet to get well acquainted enough with his issues to expect to have any closure on them. (P.S. no matter who we are, if we’re lucky enough to get it, closure is a long time coming)
Deborah also told me that, of late, Matthew has been suicidal. She said that a recent break up with his girlfriend drove him to try to kill himself. He did not succeed. Since that event, Matthew has been talking with a shrink – so far no psych meds have been prescribed. I asked Deborah which vertebrae were crushed when the 4-wheeler jumped the ditch and landed Matthew in the state that he finds himself in now. She told me his Sacrum and his L-5 vertebrae were this issue.
From what I have learned about the German New Medicine, injuries/issues with the Sacral vertebrae derive from experiences that leave us feeling sexually devalued. Beyond this, issues with S-1 to L-5 derive from a total sense of devaluation that occurs in relation to a specific person. We would need a whole separate article to discuss the German New Medicine. I have been involved with this healing modality for the last 22 years – I use it for everything.
It is too much to get into but, relative to Matthew and his story, if we understand that we create our own reality, that there are no accidents, and that whatever happens to us, for better or worse, is a gift from God, we could say that Matthew’s recent breakup with is girlfriend, and the underlying sense of devaluation that has been locked in his cellular memory since the day he was born, led to the circumstances that, out of all the vertebrae in his body, wound up crushing two in his lower spine on the day of his accident. On a more obvious note, without the German New Medicine slant on things, hard, accident prone aspects between progressed and transiting Uranus and progressed Mars and natal Admetus and Matthew’s natal Moon were on fire on the day he got hurt. (For those of you who are curious about the German New Medicine go to www.learningGNM.com)
Now let’s look at what’s up with Deborah, and the house fire, and her work as a healer. We’ve already made note of the fact that Zeus was on top of her Draconic ascendant when the fire broke out. What we have yet to discuss is the extent to which this apparent disaster was a gift from God. Let me go down a list of aspects that shed light on the matter:
I could go on. There is so much information here. Perhaps what we’ve covered is enough to provide us with a broad brush stroke that serves as a response to Deborah’s request to ‘look and see if her chart has anything to say about this.’ In the immediate aftermath of any accident or tragedy, it’s hard to be objective. Once enough time passes, we look back on these things and often say to ourselves, ‘It was a blessing in disguise’.
I am pretty sure that, that is what we’re looking at here. If Deborah plays her cards right and gets around her own stuff well enough to face every last one of her fears, is able to lose the ‘I’m not good enough’ mindset, and instead of wringing her hands and pining over Matthew’s fate, rolls up ‘her world class healer sleeves’ and gets down to business, she will not only be able to heal her son, she will be able to carry what all of this teaches her about the awesome power of the life force out into the world and serve the purpose for which she incarnated.’

- His Capricorn Sun – 15-degrees
- His Capricorn South Node – 15-degrees
- His Capricorn Mercury – 22-degrees
- The asteroid Arachne in Capricorn – 16-degrees
- The asteroid Astraea in Capricorn – 13-degrees
- The asteroid Siva in Capricorn – 19-degrees
- The asteroid Hygeia in Capricorn – 21-degrees

(For those of you who are curious about the German New Medicine go to www.learningGNM.com)
Now let’s look at what’s up with Deborah, and the house fire, and her work as a healer. We’ve already made note of the fact that Zeus was on top of her Draconic ascendant when the fire broke out. What we have yet to discuss is the extent to which this apparent disaster was a gift from God. Let me go down a list of aspects that shed light on the matter:
- Deborah was born with Siwa conjunct her Midheaven. The textbook interpretation of this aspect is ‘to undergo vast changes in aims or life direction’, ‘to have crises compel a new sense of self and a new sense of the need for career validation’.
- Natal Phaeton opposite Urania; Phaeton is the archetype that generates a fear of failure. Urania has to do with how we frame our perspective on ourselves. Phaeton opposite Urania suggests that Deborah doesn’t think she will make it when it comes to anything, including her career. This falls in line with what Deborah said to me when she told me she was not actively practicing as a Brennan healer because she did not feel ‘qualified’, or ‘good enough’ to be doing that work.
- Psyche square Draconic Neptune; This aspect shows up when people have old scars that are buried so deep that even after years of reflection, and therapy, and inner work never rise to the surface. The psyche is full of memories that are difficult to access. In Deborah’s case, ‘there is no easy insight’. When it comes to the stories that are locked in her cellular memory, the de-structuring process is a long, drawn out thing. For someone who works in the field of energy work, the ability to heal others relies on the extent to which their own issues have been cleared. If Deborah decides to wrestle with her fear of failure in her career, her inner work will have to involve biting the bullet and reckoning with all of the things in her own psyche that lie waiting to be accessed. Remember what I said about the sixty-third year – as far as Deborah’s work as a healer is concerned, it’s ‘show time’.
- Pandora conjunct Neptune and the Moon – all squaring Psyche: This aspect generates a huge amount of fear in situations where ‘there is no way to know what will happen next’. It shows up in the charts of people whose developmental years were spent at the mercy of parents, or in circumstances that did not provide them with a sense of safety and security. Nothing was cozy, nothing was comfy, nothing was certain. These individuals had the rug pulled out from underneath them on a regular basis. In Deborah’s original email to me she wrote, ‘I have a lot of fear and almost feel like I should stay in bed forever. This statement falls in line with what is intrinsic to the Pandora, Neptune, Moon, Psyche aspect. In light of these recent events, Deborah’s inner child is on the loud speaker.
- Psyche square Hades: This aspect reads as, ‘chronic vulnerability to the effects of trauma’. In other words any little thing can trigger the fears that are stored in Deborah’s cellular memory. At the moment she is pushing 63 and the impact of the housefire, along with Matthew’s issues has caused her to feel incredibly afraid. Something old and deep has been stirred up. She could get stuck dramatizing this fear or she could make the choice to find out where it comes from and look it in the eye; like I said, ‘It’s show time’.
- Transiting Pluto square Admetus, transiting Pluto square Orpheus, Orpheus opposite Admetus: To reinforce the ‘it’s show time’ concept, transiting Pluto is squaring Admetus. This reads as, after a long time, old unresolved issues are starting to work their way to the surface. This process will be drawn out; there will be no instant revelation – it will require patience and take time. Because transiting Pluto is also squaring Orpheus, it suggests that entrenched grief and old unexpressed mourning (for something or someone) is rising up from deep within. The Pluto-Orpheus square is a suicidal aspect which at his point is reflected in, and expressing itself in a projected form in Matthew’s suicide attempt. There could be a deeper more personal layer to this. As Deborah goes deeper into her own mystery whatever that is will probably come to light.
- Transiting Pluto opposite Niobe; ‘To be brought to her knees via issues with her kids’. Between the house fire and Matthew’s injuries, Deborah is going through one of those ‘come to Jesus’ moments.
- Progressed Siva square Deborah’s natal Sun; Whenever hard transits or progressions occur between Siva and the Sun, the individual has the opportunity to rebirth themselves on a whole new level. Because Siva is ‘the Great Destroyer’, acts of devastation precede rebirth, renewal, and the new life that rises up from the ashes. This transformation will play out in Deborah’s life for at least one more year.
I could go on. There is so much information here. Perhaps what we’ve covered is enough to provide us with a broad brush stroke that serves as a response to Deborah’s request to ‘look and see if her chart has anything to say about this.’ In the immediate aftermath of any accident or tragedy, it’s hard to be objective. Once enough time passes, we look back on these things and often say to ourselves, ‘It was a blessing in disguise’.
I am pretty sure that, that is what we’re looking at here. If Deborah plays her cards right and gets around her own stuff well enough to face every last one of her fears, is able to lose the ‘I’m not good enough’ mindset, and instead of wringing her hands and pining over Matthew’s fate, rolls up ‘her world class healer sleeves’ and gets down to business, she will not only be able to heal her son, she will be able to carry what all of this teaches her about the awesome power of the life force out into the world and serve the purpose for which she incarnated.’
See you next time - XOXOXOX
