A
massive volcano eruption spewed a giant ash mushroom cloud into the sky on the
Indonesian holiday island of Bali, local officials reported Friday, causing
flight cancellations to and from the island and diverting flights over the area
to nearby Australia, but thankfully didn't result in any known casualties. Mount
Agung volcano was described by Reuters as shooting lava and and hail of rocks
at a distance of about 2 miles.
In astrology, an essential quality of Saturn is that of preservation, as
well as endurance within the midst of extreme hardship or austerity. Both
Capricorn and Saturn symbolize systems and structures which seek to preserve
their dominance at any cost, just as Kronos ate his children to avoid being
deposed. On the other hand, Pluto, the God of the underworld, aims to reveal all
that is repressed.
A struggle between Saturn-Pluto can be likened to a rocky
layer holding back the seething magma in a volcano. At some point the magma
breaks through and we have a volcanic eruption.
As Pluto conjoins Saturn in the coming few years, we will
experience a dramatic amplification of the above-mentioned struggle in society.
Pluto brings about transformation through the volcanic eruption of repressed
psychic contents. When Pluto is active in collective or personal events, an old
order dies and falls away, and a new way of life emerges from the debris.
A preview of what is
to come often shows up symbolically in events like the eruption of Mount Agung. How do we know that? Just take a look at the chart of the Last
Quarter Moon drawn for the co-ordinates of Mount Agung. Notice how
significantly it aligns with the angles (specific for a place) while also making a hard aspect to the
Saturn-Pluto conjunction. Pluto's
archetype is destructive, but sometimes, destruction is necessary for the
seeding of new life. This then is the essential message of the upcoming
Saturn-Pluto conjunction.
