These readings of the Heavens of Causes (heliocentric view) assume the configuration and perspective of the ingress of the solstice as the initiatory impulse that determines and affects the quality and development of the entire annual cycle of the Earth.[1]

For the coming year, the signs of heaven of the two solstice moments of December 2015 and 2016, the two nodes of the annual ‘octave’, are thus interpolated.

At the December solstice, our Earth (the sphere of experience, the Personality) is located in the Valley, just outside the nurturing sign of Cancer (3rd and 7th Rays: Intelligence and Order), while the apparent Sun at the center (subjectively Sun/Vulcan, the Soul) crosses the threshold of the Gate of the Gods of Capricorn (1st, 3rd and 7th Rays: Power, Planning and Organization) and also the direction to the galactic Center (at present, and every 13,000 years!). This cosmic line is the spine of beings and the vertical axis of the cycle which is activated and sounds its new accord and intent, valid for an entire planetary revolution.

The background color, the psychic quality of this energetic Octave, is impressed by Jupiter, the Lord of solar Space and magnetism. In one Earth year the Master of solar Love progresses about a zodiacal Sign, or a heavenly arc of 30° on the ecliptic, expanding consciousness according to the Zodiac quality intercepted. colore verde-blu-gialloAs seen in the Chart, the climate of the year 2016 is informed by the combination of the qualities of two signs, symbolically the blue-green of Virgo (2nd and 6th Rays: Love and abstract Idealism) and (from August 9) the yellow of Libra (3rd Ray: Light of right Rapports). It goes from the earth receptivity of Mother/Nature – the generating matrix of events and forms -, to the airy radiance of the Middle Way, the Light of consciousness as the Motor of evolution. The psychic climate is therefore driven to soar upwards and forwards, to rise vibration (while the previous year was prone to precipitation: from Leo to Virgo, from fire to earth).

The Zodiacal axis PiscesVirgo (2nd and 6th Rays) definitely dominates the scene of building energies in the causal instant of 2016: 5 Luminaries (6 with the center Sun/Vulcan) tend this original polarity (the Father/Spirit Pisces and the Mother/Matter Virgo), consecrated to the relationship between Liberty and Love.

5.2In Pisces the connection vector Mercury, next to the God of the Waters Neptune and in maximum tension with Jupiter, indicates (particularly for the cycle to come) the Model of the Savior and group salvation. It is necessary to establish an Institute of the Heart as a decisive fortress against evil, individual and collective, first interior and then exterior – between individuals, groups and nations, in imitation of the solar and cosmic Model.

Around this Decree, as urgent as it is elusive for humanity submerged by its blanket of illusion and separateness, the solar and wise Mind Venus, challenged and enriched by the surgical meticulousness of Mars (both in Virgo), fixes in the ‘burning’ minds how the Heart Institute can be achieved: through the building Art of the Mother, the spatial Substance, Nature, the Divine generative.

So Venus, higher Sister of Earth, commands and instructs to work knowingly and for pure love toward the planetary Unification.

The double quadrature, of this line of tension between the two Origins, with the solar Architect Saturn is also fundamental. Saturn is in Sagittarius (4th-5th-6th Rays: ardent temperance and constructive persistence), the cosmic impulse to the Goal: it is a propitious year for the layout and planning of the future toward the common Good.

In particular, its right angle to the Lord of the Communion Neptune[2] (the height of quadrature on January 30) recalls and aims at the date of Their next quarter of cycle, when Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct in 2025 at 0° Aries, the electric point of manifest Beginnings. The Institute of the Heart, the overarching idea of the year, is preliminary and connected to the New Project of the Solar Community (Saturn-Neptune). So this can be seen as a proto-form of a human central Presence, that point of maximum tension and responsibility of the One Humanity which can and will have to be ready in order to convey, or at least supplement, the externalization of the 4th Ray/4th human Hierarchy indicated for 2025.

These are ‘dark years’, as we may well think, tragic yet potentially glorious: the dawn of a new Day is at hand.

Salvation comes from Above, from the depths of the common Heart, but we must be ready to recognize and use it harmoniously.

The big ‘Sorter’ Uranus, in 2016 from 5° to 6° degree of Aries (1st and 7th Rays: Power to manifest and Ceremonial Magic), provides initiatory fire to start the Heart Institute on Earth. Uranus bases it on irresistible traction to the Source of Life, that cosmic drive which leads to the One, and for humanity to the sacred Unity of a planetary Order.

In this solstitial heaven, its persisting square to the Destroyer and Reformer Pluto in Capricorn renders dramatic and overwhelming this phase of transformation of consciousness: from lunar to solar, from personal to collective, and we know how many and what signs testify to this on our sore planet.

sirioYet, in this historical moment so delicate and unique, along the axis traced by the First Rays Pluto and Sun/Vulcan, the deep Presence of Sirius, as the Alter ego of formal destruction, weaves a saving net to unify all the forces in the field. Sirius is the Cosmic Magnet of our solar system, the source of the rebalancing Law of karma and of our planetary Government as well as of its Mysteries through the times. He/It is that Magnet (Isis) which reassembles the scattered pieces/hearts of true Humanity so that it can rise again as the Phoenix (Osiris/Horus) from the ashes of destruction.

To Sirius the Heart Institute must be dedicated.

In order to assist ‘from the heart’ this rescue of the human spirit by solar energies, as ‘usual’, we draw a lucky star of directive Formulas, in support of the evolution of planetary and human consciousness.

For the upcoming solstice of Capricorn and especially for the 1st quarter of 2016 cycle, let us then extract the septenary of Formulas (heliocentric and geocentric) which can focus and ‘fix’ the energy distributed by the 7 sacred Luminaries (the 7 major Centers of the solar Logos/the Soul) – into the Space of solar consciousness on Earth and in Man.

Let us hold these words of power in the sacredness of the Heart, sowing them in its golden field, day after day, breath by breath, in order to become the living, magnetic and creative seeds of the New Institute of the Heart:

Heliocentric Heaven – 1st Quarter 2016

Primo quarto 2016 - elioc

Inner Wheel: 22 December 2015 h. 4.48 UHT – Outer Wheel: 20 March 2016 h. 4.31
(F2 = SIRIUS)

1) Sun/Vulcan in Capricorn – Earth in Cancer (heliocentric impulse):

The solar Will fecundates the matrix of the Plan

Sun in Capricorn (geocentric resonance):

Lost am I in Light supernal and upon that Light I turn my back.


2) Jupiter in Virgo:

The solar Love erects the altar of the Temple

Jupiter in Virgo:

Let heart synthesize the manifold forms.


3) Saturn in Sagittarius:

The solar Thinker orients the Work to the Heart of Cosmos

Saturn in Sagittarius:

Ardent commitment establishes the right pace toward the goal.


4) Mercury in Pisces:

The solar Mediator tenses at the center the two Origins

Mercury in Capricorn:

Let human minds implement/realize the divine Will.


5) Venus in Virgo:

The solar Builder raises consciousness to the Christic summit

Venus in Scorpio:

The struggle to harmonize the two Origins is the triumph of the Universe. 


6) Neptune in Pisces:

The solar Priest shields the crystal of Unity

Neptune in Pisces:

Inspired ideas bring the Sublime to Humanity.


7) Uranus in Aries:

The solar Initiator enlivens the sacred fire of the Mother

Uranus in Aries:

Let the New be intelligible to man to be expressed and fulfilled.


Geocentric Heaven – 1st Quarter 2016

 Primo Quarto 2016 - geoc

For the symmetrical geocentric level (pertaining to the precipitation of energies on the Planet up to the individual level), at the initiatory Date of the Solstice Mercury is in Capricorn next to Pluto, both squaring Uranus (like next March Equinox). They brighten and pave an initiatory Way to the responsive consciences, as well as overturning, in unexpected and unusual ways, crystallized structures in the resistant minds.

Venus is in Scorpio, in benefic sextile both to Them and Jupiter, as well as opposite the Moon in Taurus: any personal or collective attachment must be redirected from renunciation to the realization of the especially Beautiful.[3]

This is our glorious destiny and that of our touching wonderful Blue Planet.

*

The Earth with the awakened, solarized, part of humanity feels and responds to all this fervor lit by the fires of heaven, and reflects it as a saving power into the still lunar parts of mankind, dreaming of the Heart Hearth.

    Fabulous piece! Thank you! I found it through another post where you wrote about the 2020 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius . “Jupiter and Saturn (wich with Sun/Vulcan at the center serve as the “higher Triangle of solar Consciousness”) will join in 2020 in the sign of Aquarius, for the first time since 1404.” I highly recommend everyone to read pp. 24-25 about this coming conjunction (wow) : http://en.theplanetarysystem.org/files/2012/12/TPS-From-linear-to-cyclical-time.pdf (can you please reproduce that Star digram of the Jupiter- Saturn cycles? ) I also found this (bringing Hope): The 20-year cycle of Jupiter and Saturn is one of the most important markers representing what direction our lives are taking, personally and socially; it sets the tone for the “new order” we will all respond to…The new conjunction will take place at the solstice on December 21, 2020, at the beginning degree of Aquarius and in a new sequence of elements (air), so we can anticipate that the combination of the conjunction, in a new Air cycle, on the Solstice point will seed a new dawn, a new paradigm for humanity to unfold. It symbolizes a breakthrough to “another side,” a shift of consciousness. The sign of Aquarius flavoring this cycle hints at the need to come up with new solutions and elevate global consciousness. While the earlier earth cycle drew attention to practical and financial matters, the Aquarius cycle will ideally bring a stronger focus on culture, progress, and global emancipation.

    Let us be even more optimistic and contemplate progress in the form of a greater mainstream tolerance of astrology and recognition of it as an essential practice. Aquarius symbolizes the practice of astrology as a tool that allows us to gain a bird’s-eye perspective on our lives, connecting life on Earth to larger celestial cycles. The shift from the Taurus cycle to the Aquarius cycle of Jupiter–Saturn may prompt people to look up to the heavens more often!

    If we contemplate the whole sequence of astrological events in the year 2020, with its dramatic planetary alignments, we can anticipate great intensity and changes on many levels. These events will likely have a destructive edge as a new world order is programmed — change is not always a smooth process. However, since all the year’s transits culminate in the Jupiter–Saturn conjunction in Aquarius, we will see new solutions and paradigms emerge. There is a promise of rebirth and a new vision that will gradually unfold in the following months and years. https://mauricefernandez.com/the-saturn-pluto-conjunction-and-the-transits-for-the-year-2020/

    The Global brain is alive and functioning….we are forming the connections for the Global Heart. The Heart of Humanity will save the world! Blessings and profound gratitude for all who have gone before, including those splendid existences on Sirius from whom we receive Cosmic Love in the Principle of Buddhi…the principle to be found at the heart of every atom.
