2<\/strong>nd<\/strong><\/sup> January as the Sun and Saturn conjoin in Cardinal Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More important than the arbitrary calendar rebirth is today\u2019s cazimi\nconjunction and parallel of the Sun and Saturn in Cardinal Earth, a conjunction\nthat occurs every year when the Sun reaches the same celestial longitude as Saturn,\nbut it has not happened within Cardinal Earth since the 19th<\/sup> January\n1991. There are two years, this and in 2020, when the Sun and Saturn align,\nalthough the alignment on the 12th<\/sup> January 2020 takes place\nwith Ceres, Pluto and Mercury all within a degree of each other in Cardinal\nEarth, something that has never previously taken place. What is exciting about\nthis alignment is the pathway of possibility that this alignment generates \u2013\nwhich is to illuminate the reality that you are creating and are living within!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, this year is the final stage of the balsamic (or preparation to\nrelease, cleanse and let go) phase of the Saturn-Pluto synod, of which we have\nfelt so keenly as every structure that you live within has been uprooted, as\nyou have felt anchorless within the shell of your material life, questioning\nwhat does power truly mean and do you have any relationship to true power \u2013\nknowing thyself utterly and completely, and living freely from any egoic\nhunger, attachment and longing, free from concerns about your future and\ntotally in touch with your heart, having forsaken so many distractors that has\nplaced directly on your path to help you forget. Yes, this has been one hell of\na year, as you have straddled that fine line between sanity and insanity,\nhaving faced down so many enemies that have chained you to your past, your\nlover, your friends, your community, your dreams, your longings, your family,\nyour studies, your job, your sense of place and sense of pride, arrogance and\nabundance. I cannot say that this will all magically disappear after the 12th<\/sup> January\n2020, but what I can say is that the pressure you feel to become someone, as\ndictated to by the patriarchy, is dying and for one, I am delighted to be able\nto write that, since it means that we are moving into a time wherein your\ninteriority will finally be \u2018seen\u2019 as relevant and meaningful, a fact that will\nbe freeing to many of you, as your intuitive hunches and visions gather\nstrength and confidence as the arbitrary calendar year of BCE 2019 unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few days, you have been afforded the opportunity to\nreflect on how your reality has true been over the past synodical year – how\naligned you have been with your deeper ideology, as you can \u2018see\u2019 the reality\nof the way that you would like to live and the way you are living, what you\nhave learned about yourself, what you have had to confront, what you have\nreleased and what you have grieved. Laying down seeds that you seek to grow\nconcerning the actualisation of your reality is what can emerge today. What\nthis is about is to focus on the nature of your current reality and how much of\nit has been defined by you, and how much of it has been defined by\ncircumstance, conditioning, finances, your family of origin, your initial\neducation system, and your cultural and religious background. Remember that it\nis not a bad thing to have lived within what others have bound you by, as I am\nsure there are aspects of your life that have been conditioned in a healthy and\nconstructive manner. But the issue of whether you are living in accordance with\nYOUR reality or someone else\u2019s is what this aspect entails and is a place from\nwhich you can create, define and set deep intentions, as the energetic\nconditions are \u2018ripe\u2019 to \u2018seed\u2019 a reality based on the choices and decisions\nthat YOU make for yourself, as opposed to have been made for you by someone\nelse\u2019s opinion of you and your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
