Not even
sure what to say today. I’m net surfing
on my day off and letting projects sit on the shelf.
That’s Virgo
rising. There is no planet in the sign
Virgo right now, so there are no symbols situated inside the area where the
funky green M marks off the Virgo territory.
Virgo is the sign of the student.
It is also associated with science, as in can we find a way to describe
what we see happening in such a way that someone else could repeat the same process
and get the same results.
Pluto was in
Virgo….well let me give you a little snapshot…
From this
page for Jan 1957 we can see that Pluto was backing into the end of Leo from the
beginning of Virgo. We’ll have
to go back in time a bit further to see when Pluto first entered the virgin’s
sign. Here’s a screenshot of the
AstroDienst Ephemeris for Oct 1956.
The sign
Virgo was rising when I began this post.
Pluto was in the sign Virgo from about 1957-1971. Every day when we see Virgo rising, from any
place on earth, that means we are in the last third of our daily descent on the
Tilted Sphere carnival ride.
Any one born
during the years when Pluto was in Virgo is carrying one of those moments from one of those days….that
moment of birth when we first are presented to the light and draw our very
first independent breath, gasp, what a moment!
That moment is incarnated in us and we carry it into the future. Every one already in existence at that moment
is conditioned to a greater or lesser degree by the earthly experiences that
have shaped them. The new life, just
beginning, freshly defines a moment for the rest of us as long as they live. Rachel Carson and her friends were beginning their campaign to change our attitudes about chemicals and the ecosystem when Pluto entered Virgo. Children were being born....every day when the sign Virgo came up in the zodiac, Pluto was there, in the invisible distance.
The digital
clock on my computer ticks away, the earth turns at a rate of a 1000mph at the
equator, I type and delete. Now it is
11:37 and we have gone from 23degrees Gemini on the MC at 9:37am to the middle of Cancer on the MC at 10:58, to 22degrees
Cancer. Libra is rising. Here in Raleigh we are sweeping across the
bottom of our rotation, and so see the crab in the sky. Soon it will be 12:30 pm and we will see the
sign of the leaping cat when we look up…..
