The Phoenix Rises In Beijing

  

 


 

The Capricorn ingress chart often referred to as the Annual Chart by many astrologers is an important mundane event. So significant is this chart that astrologers attempt to understand events by (a) progression of the angles (b) major transits or eclipses aligned with chart elements.

 



The current Capricorn ingress drawn for Beijing, China has a Jupiter-Saturn squaring straddling the meridian implying that it is very significant for the place. This the first square after the conjunction of the two giant planets in Dec 2020 in Aquarius. 

The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn , is a rare astronomical event where the two planets appear very close in the sky. In astrology, this event is known as the Great Chronocrator or "Time-Lord" and is seen as a powerful marker of societal and personal transformation. 

Happening in Aquarius, a fixed sign which wants us to elaborate on the themes that emerged in the preceding cardinal sign, the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction is going to require of us that we be experimental and implement our revolutions, whether small or bigger, in order to be the catalysts of greater global change. 

The emphasis of both social planets on the powerful zero degree of Aquarius is a statement that it is time for venturing into unknown territory. After having interfaced all through 2020 with a global karma that has been more than 200 years in the making, and which has already translated into some seriously severe socioeconomic crisis, the astrological weather is summoning us to step into our more visionary, progressive qualities so that new human potential and creativity can be liberated. 

And that is something that we cannot do without staging a soul rebellion: And to defend and hold the greater good, including those who have been considered of less value in the past as a dear common cause, will take us to something really new. From this instinctive, courageous standpoint, we will be able to establish a true revolution, so that a new planetary global balance can emerge. 

A conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn can be likened to a New Moon phase where a seed idea is born. But this seed idea must wait for the first waxing square for the seed to sprout. Dane Rudhyar referred to this phase as “a crisis in action” implying that some movement was necessary to fulfil the vision born at the conjunction. 

The upcoming lunar eclipse [16pi] [1] falls exactly on the MC and Saturn of the Capricorn ingress chart at Beijing where the leaders of BRICS are meeting to give shape to a new vision that will hopefully free humanity from at least 200 years of colonial subjugation. 

The eclipse is conjunct Achernar, alpha Eridani, the bright star that marks the end of Eridanus, the River flowing into the Universal Sea. Here it combines its influence with Ankaa, the alpha star of Phoenix, the bird which regenerates itself. This is, therefore, an area of endings and new beginnings. It frees humankind from outdated illusions and outmoded conventions of thought. 

History is not just remembered in Beijing this week. It is being written – by Xi, Putin and Modi. Together they provide the architecture for a continental partnership in security and economics. For the first time in generations, the world’s fastest-growing region has a chance to set its own agenda rather than accept one written in Washington or Brussels.
