Shedding Skin ~ 23 Oct 2009 In the theme of the recent discovery of Saturn's newest and hugest This week within a short number of minutes to an exact alignment of I seem to remember an axiom that a body sheds its skin completely Many folks report a general malaise and angst as if many are sensing Can you locate the place in your being where the inner angst is Maybe the restlessness and uneasiness swirling about can be eased by Key in this three planet/one centaur pattern is the opposition between Philip Sedgwick Please visit my site and browse all the out of this world content.

ring, astronomers seeking out exosolar planets (planets around other
stars) revealed some 30 + newly discovered planets, bringing the total
of known planets outside our solar system to more than 400. From where
I sit this kind of news is ho-hum. We've physically known of other
planets since 1995. While some new ones are super large, earth-like or
what have you, it is now known that other "worlds" exist and other
life might be out there. This idea stands out as one of the biggest no
brainers in thinking. There are 70 sextillion stars, according to
estimates made in Australia by some evidently OCD astronomers. Despite
this week's failed attempt to conjure up images of UFO's by Balloon
Boy's reality-starved parents in Colorado and the onslaught of
trailers noting the upcoming release of the remake of the alien are
here to get us television series, "V," logical deduction provides
there must be other life. The underlying and important theme of the
scientific announcement of a "break through" in other world discovery
rides the wave of it's all bigger and more expansive than we ever
imagined. Saturn. Our solar system. The number of stars known to have
planets. Our imagination is challenged to stretch beyond the known and
include all sorts of things previously not considered.
the current position of Saturn to my own, I discovered a shed snake
skin under a palo verde tree. This skin, with no Jupiter embellishment
at all, is four feet long. From the shape of the head and the lack of
diamond traces in the skin, it is likely the skin of a bull snake,
quite common in these parts. The head and skin veil that once covered
the eyes of the reptile were amazingly intact. At first I concluded
that since my Saturn transit was in progress, this was a symbol for
me. Sitting with it, though, and building up last week's Saturnian
theme, Saturn is changing signs for everyone. Symbolically, every two
and a half years or so, Saturn gives everyone an opportunity to shed
the skin of recently acquired structures and grow into new dimensions
of life exploration without restriction of previous constraints. Such
releases support carrying no idea further than its time or function.
Evolve into the new and stretch beyond all known limits whenever the
skin is inclined to shed - by personal astrological patterns or during
collective shift signatures. Either/or; with both being preferred.
every seven years - or at least that's what the door to door vacuum
cleaner sales guy told me in the late 1970's. In doing an online
search I cannot find current science that supports that claim. The
recycling of skin occurs much faster according to Internet facts. No
matter. It is still true that people refer to the seven-year itch,
astrologically associated with both Saturn and Uranus, as the urge to
jump out of one's skin. Of course, Saturn and Uranus are in a long
term dance and invited Jupiter and Pluto to the dance next year as
well. For all intents and purposes the effects of the Saturn-Uranus
oppositions, now six degrees apart and increasing in separation,
should be considered to be on a hiatus.
an upcoming shift in the wind. Most likely that's Saturn. Within ten
days Saturn sheds the skin of Virgo, slipping into the socially
conscious fit of Libra. Preceding this shifting of gears, Saturn asks
a pile of questions:
located?
Do you have an opinion of what the angst might be?
Can you feel the itch?
Do you want to scratch something off life's to-do list in hopes of
satisfying the itch?
Can you wait?
Do you feel like you have to get on with it right now and wait for
nothing?
Can you accurately assess all resources, material, energetic and
emotional that new steps require?
Do you have your ducks in a row?
Can you migrate into Saturn's new signship with commitment to your
cause and a lack of regard for popular opinion and the commentary of
friends and family about your efforts?
Do you know how to turn off the comments section in all your social
networking sites?
Can you sense those things drawing your attention, demanding that you
include those things and allow those things to include you?
Do you have your imagination and aspiration intact?
answering such questions; maybe not. A pattern between Mercury in
Libra, Chiron in Aquarius, Eris in Aries and Sedna in Taurus now
apexes. This planetary combination touts the unpopular idea that if
one quests for popularity, compliant conformity and seeks the status
quo of what social standards indicate one is supposed to derive from
life, one might actually miss the boat. "That's right," declares the
foursome, "You're getting a three-day reminder (of which today is the
middle) that it's time to do what suits your soul and serves your
spirit. Let us not forget that as Saturn takes on Libra, he nears the
center of the local group of galaxies that tout getting psyche and
spirit on the same page of the script of life."
Mercury and Eris. When Jupiter commissioned Eris to work with him
regarding a political wrong - as he saw it - Mercury was dispatched to
approach the leader in question with a question whose answer held
evidently physically impossible conditions and results. Mercury
queried the leader of Mycenae with the question, "If the Sun rose in
the west, would you relinquish your throne?" Seemingly, Mercury posed
a no risk question. Now to spin this idea into present day applicable
terms with a positive outcome, consider that when arbitrary questions
are posed to you - whether originating from your internal editor or a
real, well-intentioned person challenging your reasons - Eris and
Mercury might be working together. The plan might just be one of
working with you to warp around brain cramps, plausibility problems
and limits of imagination to make impossible outcomes possible,
presuming you've shed any constricting skin, of course.
