Tonight, at 7:25pm CST, Pallas in Pisces shifts out of
retrograde and into direct motion.
Pallas is the asteroid of the wise warrior princess, a motherless
goddess said to have sprung from the forehead of Jupiter/Zeus. She is the feminine equivalent of Mars,
though she is much more the mental strategist than the gung-ho warrior. All areas that she rules are prevalent
today while she is stationed, such as:
creative intelligence, invention, strategy, patterns, diplomacy,
feminine wisdom, order, visualization, intellectual skill, and the
father-daughter relationship.
In Pisces, Pallas sees through the material world to grasp
reality through imagination, visions, and fantasies…the energy of the
enlightened warrior. However, she
is not well placed in this sign (her usual clear-headedness becomes a bit
blurred around the edges with the Piscean view. But she is also under a lot of celestial stress as she is at
the apex of a T-square aspect configuration…which means she’s at a 90 degree
square with the opposition between Juno in Sagittarius and Vesta in
Gemini. The stress of this
opposition focuses its energy on Pallas’s apex, and can cause us to put too
much emphasis on the dream world and lose connections with what is real and
what is not.
As usual, we’ll see a lot of this happening on a grand scale…but
let’s take a look into the specific degrees we’re dealing with here so that we
might find a better outlet for the focus of this hard-hitting energy on the
individual level.
Pallas is in the 23rd degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is ‘a
materializing medium facilitating a séance’. The keyword for this degree is ‘sensitivity’. This degree points to the ability to
give of one’s own vital energy to substantiate one’s conscious ideals or
unconscious desires. Depending on
the motives of the ‘medium’ in each situation you encounter, the display of
psychic power can be positive (such as receiving communications from the spirit
realm) or negative (such as deception or psychic attacks). Look deeper into this symbol and you
can see that it refers to any person, possibly even yourself, who believes they
have a mission, or any special gift that can be of value to the community, and
must substantiate this belief by producing results. Such results always demand, to some extent, the gift of some
power of value which is deeply one’s own.
Afterwards, the medium is usually exhausted as they are giving of their
own energy to help others connect to something meaningful.
Juno, the asteroid of the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth who
rules commitment, the wife-husband relationship and protection of females, is
in the 20th degree of Sagittarius. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is ‘men cutting through
ice for summer use’. The keyword
is ‘procurement’ and refers to the foresighted use of natural resources to
supply future needs. Active
planning for and commitment to the future needs of humanity and foresight based
on knowledge of the cyclical processes of nature will assure supply. Juno in Sagittarius will have a lot to
say about what is needed for the future, and while she may come across as a
queen making self-righteous demands…there is truth to her words.
Vesta, the asteroid of the Goddess of Hearth and Home and the
priestess who rules the sacred flame, sisterhood, and security, is retrograde in the 23rd
degree of Gemini. The Sabian
Symbol for this degree is ‘Three fledglings in a nest high in a tree’. The keyword is ‘elevation’ and refers
to a secluded haven promoting comfort, safety and protection. This degree is about the growth of
spiritually creative processes in an at least relatively integrated mind. Birds usually refer to spirit, or the
higher and freer aspects of the mind.
This is about creative integration, and suggests that the ambitious mass
protests of aroused and largely blind desires should be transmuted through
harmonization with natural drives and attuned to the phases of natural
evolution. Vesta in Gemini elevates
the collective mind on a spiritual level and seeks to secure as much
information as she can to ensure the enlightenment of the global village. However, she is under stress with this
T-square and this can create a scattered mind or lack of focus and a diffusion
of intimacy through trivial chatting or rationalizing feelings.
What the combination of these three feminine asteroids is
telling us is that while we balance the security of the home and the commitment
of our relationships, we may find ourselves focused on the psychic attacks or
draining of our power from ‘emotional vampires’ that may be creating obstacles
around us. However, if we keep in
mind that Pallas is skilled at strategy and creative intelligence, as well as
recognizing the patterns of things, we can tap into her warrior spirit in a
diplomatic way and ensure the best outcome for all involved.
These 90 degree angles indicate frictional contacts possibly
related to the communication of personal wisdom and truth. Differing ideals are creating clashes,
and Pallas in Pisces is working overtime to teach us how to stay fluid and
adaptable through the friction in order to manifest desired results.
Hers is not an energy that is simply here today, gone
tomorrow. This asteroid which
represents the female warrior who did it as well as, if not better than, the
men has been highly prominent over the past months. Her energy was an integral part of the first two exact
squares of Uranus and Pluto in June and September…adding the element of
establishment-busting female fight, leadership, and strategic direction to the
world changes being made at those times.
This was when she was in Aries, conjunct Uranus (the rebel). She retrograded back into watery Pisces
on October 3rd…and on January 10th, 2012 she will move
back into fiery Aries. On January
28th, 2013, Pallas will conjunct Uranus again and then square Pluto
again on February 12th, 2013.
But this T-square energy (like a celestial cat-fight) is in
effect into the first week of December.
A fever-pitch may come on the day of the Full Moon (November 28th)
when Juno and Pallas exact their square while Mars and Pluto are conjunct in
Capricorn and Venus and Saturn are conjunct in Scorpio. Discernment is key here, so choose your
angles and your battles…we are meant to get very clear now on our own truth and
beliefs, but forcing the issues (especially when outnumbered) will only lead to
more obstacles and stress.
The Sagittarius New Moon on December 13th will stir
it all up again, with a conjunction to Juno and a square to Pallas, though
Vesta will have retrograded out of range of a T-square by then. This is closely followed by the Sun reaching
an exact square to Pallas on December 15th. On December 22nd, the Sun
will exact a conjunction with Juno at the beginning of Capricorn by that
point. Then on December 29th,
Mercury squares Pallas…so there is no shortage of emphasis on these themes
above causing a bit of an uproar throughout the rest of this year. Pay attention to social tension as a
guidance mechanism through these tumultuous times and adjust accordingly.
Love and Gratitude,
Felina Lune Kavi
