The Heart of Capricorn

Mercury passes by the Sun today, in the middle of his backward trickster medicine dance through Capricorn. Tune in as Gary reviews the historical expressions of the Capricorn archetype as a structuring mechanism for human society and explores the possibilities that Mercury's stirring of the Capricornian stewpot offers each of us to re-frame and renew the structuring forces in our own lives.

Twin Appearances

Two planets are currently in the process of crossing the threshold of visibility. Saturn is making an appearance as morning star and Mercury is appearing as evening star. Gary discusses these two appearances via the chart of the recent Paris Agreement. We close with a discussion of Mercury's upcoming triple-alignments on the South Node of Saturn and how they afford each of us an opportunity to make the same kind of landmark turning point in our own lives.

Twin Morning Stars

Mercury and Venus are conjunct all month, and Gary talks about how this conjunction is experienced very differently first in Capricorn as a purification or release of energy and then later in Aquarius as an intake of new energy and ability to move ahead.There's something for everyone in this episode with a smorgasbord of traditional, classical and modern ideas. Gary explains in his inimitable down to earth fashion the difference between Morning Star and Midnight Star planets, Venus' descent, Mercury's passage across the South Node of Saturn and some of the lesser known dignities involved with Mercury in Aquarius.
