As I looked at the dynamic chart for the 15th, what struck me was a kind of pattern that moved forward, and I realized that it centered on four placements at 22 degrees: the Sun/ Earth axis, Sedna, and Ceres. I thought maybe I should treat it as a special, unique configuration, as I would an eclipse–so I’m taking a strict two degree orb as measured from 22, and we’ll see what comes up.

First, the involved elements: the Sun is in Water, while Earth and Sedna are in Earth, and Ceres is in Fire. With our two degree rule we have only two other facets, Mars in Earth and Juno, conjunct the Sun. That gives us a preponderance of Earth, and suggests material effects, a physical arena and focus to tomorrow’s events, with the influence very emotional/ intuitive, and possibly prompting action. The Sun sits at the midpoint of the trine between Sedna and Mars, implying illumination of action and ego, and naturally that means that Earth is trine Mars and Sedna in a Grand Trine– again, the idea of material activity, but we mustn’t ignore Sedna; its influence is one of masking, and that suggests that the entire dynamic, the emotional side of the materially focused action, is really unknowable.

How can something unknowable be illuminated? Chiefly through watching the effect it has on everything else. Like a camera obscura, what we will see is quite real–we just won’t be observing it directly. We must watch for shadows thrown, breezes caused, a feeling of warmth or cold–and extrapolate from there as to what may be causing it.

It’s an awkward scenario, but we can’t forget about Ceres–she sits at 22 Sag, quincunx the Sun and Juno, and quincunx Sedna–and that makes her the apex for a Finger of God. Resolution of the Sun/ Juno in Cancer (the identity seeks empowerment) is found through the symbolic manifestation of Sedna energy, in letting go of both the identity and the need to specifically empower the Self. When the ‘letting go’ is successful, the energy funnels out through a sense of natural authority, in a connection that is at-One with nature itself, that allows us to negotiate anything.  Mars squares Ceres, implying that the conflict between our action urge and our Ceres sensibilities can be worked out, once the action and ego urges are sublimated to the Finger of God, with its ultimate outcome a re-connection with our innate sense of authority, and place within the natural order. It’s a matter of letting go, and gaining all the world and our place in it.
