A MERMAID EMERGES FROM THE OCEAN WAVES
In June 2025, we are going through the last of Jupiter square Saturn aspect. This aspect, is occurring at 1° Aries (Saturn) and 1° Cancer (Jupiter). An Aries-Cancer square is essentially about growing up and perhaps leaving behind old surroundings, belief systems that may no longer be comfortable. It suggests a period of tension and potential conflict between the expansive, optimistic energy of Jupiter and the restrictive, fearful energy of Saturn.
What follows are both positive and negative examples of the square from real world news. The Iran-Israel conflict is used as an illustration.
Under this square, Israel is witnessing the consequences of dishonesty, of what happens when people over-extend themselves (Jupiter) and ignore ground realities (Saturn) . Israel is seeing the results of a loss of perspective (and, that loss of perspective means that they inflated themselves or their possibilities, they--in a sense, "got carried away with it," refused to see some things--and now have to "pull in their horns" and deal with harsh realities and the test of having to "put their money where their mouth was!")
Next let us look at Iran’s response. In a previous post I mentioned that the recent Saturn’s ingress into Aries was into Iran’s ascendant. Aries urges Saturn to act in the now from a point of pure innocence mixed with primal urgency. Iran was being pushed to take some risks (Jupiter) and learn to become less fearful (Saturn) about acting out its aggressive impulses (Aries).
We can use the above example as metaphors for our own lives.
If we have been doing our Jupiter in too naive a manner or have been too convinced of the complete rightness of our actions, Saturn will force us to revaluate our beliefs. Maybe there is an unrecognized arrogance that needs to be exposed and eliminated.
What if we have been undervaluing our abilities despite years of preparation (Saturn). Jupiter can then provide the leap of faith in our abilities to meet any challenge and come out successful. We have been too fearful and we nowneed to begin to take risks in a responsible manner.
Here is the chart for the exact Mars (war) -Uranus (sudden/ unexpected) square drawn for the midpoint between Tel-Aviv and Tehran. As always planets aligned with the angles are ones we should look at first. Here we see the Jupiter on the MC square -Saturn on the descendant. In other words the conflict between Israel and Iran is best understood through the dynamics of this square as explained above.
In addition we notice that Mercury in the 10th bisects the Mars-Uranus square. Here are the Sabians for Mars [28le54] and Mercury [12cn19]
Cancer 13 (12° - 13°): One hand slightly flexed with a very prominent thumb
EXERCISING WILL
To claim our destiny and fulfil our potential we must act strongly upon the world, which wants to resist us https://www.jamesburgess.com/one-hand-slightly-flexed-with-a-very-prominent-thumb.html
Leo 29 (28° - 29°): A mermaid
MOTIVATION TO MANIFEST DREAMS
Creativity contains the poignant feeling of uncertainty whether divine inspiration will be successfully given form or die away https://www.jamesburgess.com/a-mermaid.html
Or perhaps better explained by Dane Rudhyar
PHASE 149 (LEO 29°): A MERMAID EMERGES FROM THE OCEAN WAVES READY FOR REBIRTH IN HUMAN FORM.
KEYNOTE: The stage at which an intense feeling-intuition rising from the unconscious is about to take form as a conscious thought.
The mermaid personifies a stage of awareness still partially enveloped by the ever-moving and ever-elusive ocean of the collective Unconscious, yet already half formulated by the conscious mind. Any creative thinker or artist knows well the peculiar mixture of elation and anxiety characterizing such a stage. Will the intuitive feeling fade away reabsorbed into the unconscious, or will the inexpressible realization acquire the concreteness and expressible form of a concept or a definite motif in an art form?
This fourth symbol in the thirtieth five-fold sequence suggests that the fire of desire for concrete and steady form burns at the root of all techniques of self-expression. An unconscious energy archetype is reaching toward consciousness through the creator, as cosmic Love seeks tangible manifestation through human lovers. The whole pre-human universe reaches eagerly to the human stage of clear and steady consciousness. It is this great evolutionary urge, this elan vital, which is implied in this symbol of the mermaid seeking human incarnation — the YEARNING FOR CONSCIOUS FORM AND SOLIDITY.
