This year the day in which the Sun sits directly over the celestial equator also known as the Spring Equinox we find ourselves in somewhat a unique astrological situation. First thing we notice on the astrological chart is that we have not only one but two significant stelliums of planets travelling with the Sun. One stellium is in the sign of Pisces (Neptune, Part of Fortune, Saturn, Venus & Gonggong) and the other is in Aries (Salacia, North Node, Mercury, Chiron and Eris). The next observation is that all of the planets are moving in a forward direction. Planets that are in a retrograde motion will tend to slow things down but that is not the case this year. To top it off we are currently in a wormhole. A plethora of new information and situations are continually dropping upon us. More than ever we will need to tap into or connect with our higher selves to navigate our journey through the wormhole. I am going to attempt to unpack what I see represented in the two stelliums surrounding the Sun on this Equinox chart.
To begin, at times it can feel like we are in a free fall situation and the ground is closing in fast and then at other times it can feel like we are on a highspeed freeway travelling at an amazing speed with things coming at us or moving around us. The situation we find ourselves in as we launch into spring this year requires us to be very aware of what is both coming and going. The only way to do this with ease and grace is to make wise and conscious choices.

In the sign of Pisces, we work on expanding more and more fully into our self until universal consciousness is reached. The planets in the Pisces stellium prove clues on how to achieve this very goal. First, we must have the thought (Neptune) that there is a pathway to self-fulfillment (Part of Fortune). The pathway is an internal journey (Saturn) where we discover self-love (Venus). This can be very intense and emotional (Gonggong).
In the sign of Aries, we allow the powerful energic of the love frequency in to activate and fuel the higher mind. More clues lie in the Aries stellium to assist us. First, we must look at both sides, light and shadow aspects (Salacia) to determine our path or destiny (North Node). Next we will be required to communicate (Mercury) this feeling throughout our body so we may whole or repair (Chiron) broken fragments or discard what no longer serves us. The process will continue to be activated by an inner disruption mechanism (Eris) until it is complete. It is from this position we will be able to navigate the remainder of the wormhole and launch into a whole new version of ourselves.
As we continuing to unpack the Sun’s aspects on the Equinox astrological chart, we find the Sun in Resource with Pluto. Pluto symbolizes rebirth and transformation from one state to another which is precisely what spring represents – new growth and transformation from winter. In addition, globally we find ourselves moving into a new age leaving old energy and ways behind while at the same time discovering and creating new systems for all aspects in our lives. Sedna also in resource with the Sun, brings to our conscious awareness the energy of the divine feminine must be balanced or in harmony to create the ease and grace we seek in times of transformation.
The Moon’s relationship to the Sun at the equinox is about manifestation. A tremendous amount of energy is being pumped in to bring about the require change to ourselves and our world. To ensure the energy is used to its highest potential Varuna’s influence of seeing things from a higher perspective is also facilitating the transformation process.
Looking just a bit deeper into the Equinox chart we can see three Great Eliminators, YOD’s or sometimes called Fingers of God: (1) Sun, Sedna & Haumea (2) Varuna, Quaoar & Gonggong, (3) Gonggong, Varuna & MakeMake. Basically, the Great Eliminators are choice points and this is my interpretation of the choices before us: To achieve wholeness and unity we need to include the energy of the divine feminine (Haumea) We do not need to find it rather remember that it has always been with us (Sedna). The second Great Eliminator shows in order to see things from a higher vantage point (Varuna) we must first open ourselves up to perceive entirely new thoughts and beliefs to manifest a new world (Quaoar). If at first, we don’t succeed we will need to try again (Gonggong). The last Great Eliminator points to the Kuiper belt object, Gonggong. Gonggong is associated with water and I feel that the greater message (Varuna) here is that it is universal knowledge (MakeMake) water is a key element that binds the physical to the other aspects of our being.
The equinox chart is jam packed with information signaling for some very exciting events starting this spring. Our journey is about to get very real….. Happy Equinox!
