The historic cycles of Uranus square to the Cancer / Capricorn planetary nodes. The old ways are tenacious and we like to cling to them as hazy, long forgotten bed fellows; we ascribe fond memories to them to compensate for the hard reality that is the passage of time. As with age, we grow fond […]
Continue ReadingIn this article I wanted to explore the possible effects of a conjunction to one of the nodes in Capricorn and decided that a personal point such as the Sun or Moon might manifest most obviously in the life of an individual. I went with the Moon because it is representative of our most intrinsic […]
Continue Reading“The ways in which we collectively structure our society (Saturn) according to our beliefs (Jupiter) and explore our most transformative and in-depth psychological processes (Pluto) are currently shaped by the conditioning factors of Capricorn. This reveals the importance of this archetype in forming our current collective understanding of power and its role in shaping our […]
Continue ReadingAs well as being representational of the Soul, Pluto rules transformation at a cellular level and hence cellular metabolism and enzyme production and activity, for good or for worse. It also rules the endocrine system, the elimination system, especially the colon, biological activity, genetics and the reproductive system. Pluto can strengthen an organ but also […]
Continue ReadingNeptune is the principle of consciousness itself, the Source, the One Truth, the spiritual essence, God. The power of Neptune stepped down to the physical level is disruptive to anything that is contained or bound in some way. Where Uranus disrupts through shattering and sudden shocking events that cause trauma, the diffuse Neptune erodes the […]
Continue ReadingNerve impulses that travel the nervous system (Mercury) and the fine intricate web of etheric energy known as Chi are ruled and influenced by Uranus. Chi is intimately connected to the breath, another Uranus principle which acts through the Mercury ruled Lungs. Uranus can create erratic organ functioning. Uranus also symbolises awakening which can only […]
Continue ReadingThe calcification of physiological processes, such as in the formation of bone, is Saturn’s main area of influence. Saturn binds and contains and a delicate balance is required between containment and liberation (Uranus) if our physical, mental and emotion beings are not to become clogged with the stagnation of toxic residue caused from a faulty […]
Continue ReadingThinking Kabbalistically, Jupiter as a higher octave of Venus on the tree of life is also concerned with the synthesis of nutrients, via the function of the Liver. What is broken down by the Mars and Mercury (Pillar of Severity) digestive processes is further processed in the body’s main chemical factory, the liver. This relationship […]
Continue ReadingThe Martian principle is evident in its rulership of the blood (production of red and white blood cells), the action of muscles, acute conditions and the adrenal glands. Red blood cells produced by the bone marrow stimulate the absorption of iron which itself is the fuel for the production of new red blood cells. White […]
Continue ReadingThe primary action of Venus is in the synthesis of nutrients which it shares with Mercury. Venus is especially concerned with the breakdown of sugars (glucose) and plays an important role in the correct function of the pancreas and the production of insulin. In addition to controlling the levels of copper in the body, Venus […]
Continue ReadingThe planet Mercury has multiple functions and as a messenger is involved in all communication systems within the body including correct nerve function, hormone delivery and anything that requires transportation from one area to another via the tubes of the body. Mercury governs the eyes, arms, mind/brain and shares many functions with other planets, especially […]
