Remarkable Pluto/Venus/Ceres/Sun/Moon transits

[samina]

I haven't posted in awhile here, but I do lurk regularly... Here's a shout out to all my old astro peeps... ::waving::

Just popped in to record a really remarkable set of concurrent astro events in my chart. I'm not one for long lists of "see all these things going on my chart"... but this one really impresses me. Thought I'd list the set and report back on what all transpires!

All of the following transits are triggering a tightish NN-Sun-Venus stellium on the 9th side of my MC, plus an opposing Ceres.

For starters, today's full moon in Sadge occurs conjunct Pluto, opposing my Sun & Venus, and smack on my natal Ceres. Meanwhile, TR Venus is exact on my Sun and opposing my Ceres, TR Sun is exact on my Venus, opposing Ceres, and almost on my Sun (happy birthday to me...heh). And TR Ceres is on my North Node while Fortuna is on my South Node.

So it looks something like this, with <1 orbs for all:

TR Venus conj NT Sun
TR Sun conj NT Venus
TR Pluto conj NT Ceres
TR Pluto opp NT Sun
TR Full Moon cnj NT Ceres
TR Full Moon opp NT Sun & Venus
TR Ceres cnj NT North Node
TR Fortuna cnj NT South Node

Then, clearly reinforcing all the above, my Progressed Venus, Moon, and North Node are all exactly on my NT Sun and opposing NT Ceres!

Added dynamics:
TR Eros has just left NN-->Sun-->Venus and is approaching my MC.
TR Pholus and TR Black Moon Lilith are both exact on my NT Terps (applicable, as am a very actively training ballroom dancer...)
TR Saturn is exactly squaring NT Mars.

There is so much energy palpably converging right now, I'm just observing & experiencing for the moment, but I will report back with some details.

Wishing everyone on the boards lots of happiness!

Forgot to mention Mercury's a part of that stellium I should post a pic...I'll return later to do so.

[Aphrodite]

Yes, there certainly is a lot of energy today. Don't forget that the full moon hit the galactic core, too! No wonder you feel it so strongly!

Warm wishes,

Aphrodite

So has anything unfolded that describes all this activity? Maybe too early to tell yet....................

[samina]

There is so much, I'll share a few highlights, but I feel in the midst of the swell rather than beyond it.

Here's a pic of the activity:


One thing that is extremely dramatic right now is the sense that I am suddenly surrounded by powerful mentors, and that answers are coming to every question I ask, and so quickly. Recognizing this is inspiring me to go deeper in my expectation of how my questions and the answers and my trust in the support can activate deeper personal power to transform my life and body and being on levels perhaps I've only dreamed of.

WRT acquiring knowledge, I have always been an independent-learner sort, with valuable information certainly coming into my life, but not really in the form of close mentoring relationships. And now I would say I have perhaps five that have all converged from separate quarters, providing me the guidance, encouragement, and ideas I need in order to sort out the puzzle of how to achieve some of my goals.

It all comes together in the area of dancing, too... everyone one of them contributes a piece. My closest instructor... And another one who just this past week starting coming in to coach as an objective party who can adjust what I'm doing as if tightening up bolts with a wrench... And yet another coach with world-class elite experience who has connected me with several bits of life-changing information... And yet another who emerged as a result of pursuing that information, who is also an elite-athlete coach who is teaching me about the power of breath and how to apply some uncommon breathing techniques. Which is deeply transformational. And then I have an existing relationship with a trainer (come to think of it, another one who works with elite athletes... where'd these all come from? they just stumbled into my life...) who works on my body -- again, with that sense of being "tinkered" with, like taking your body to a garage or something -- and there is awesome free flow of information between us. These are all highly conscious beings... each one of them just wonderful to get to know.

So, am surrounded by supportive energy thru coaches all helping me find new ways to transform my energy through working with my body... and really this is transforming my whole "being", if that makes sense, finding a way to release what is there and which desires expression, jacking up my ability to process energy, oxygen, flexibility, articulation, and the relationship between all of these things.

I turned 44 yesterday and only started dancing seriously a couple years ago, with just a few months of ballroom lessons of before that, and I've been on this path to see what all a late-starting dancer can really achieve in the world of ballroom dance. The energy has been swelling since January with more training, more attempting to puzzle out solutions to my limitations, and quite a few competitions -- yesterday was the 8th since the beginning of the year, and I have 3 more in July, with Nationals coming up in early September. And this journey is so delightful and all-consuming, as if I have truly found my first love. A great sensation.

Since jumping into this deeper energy this year, I've been evolving at such a remarkable pace, and have been competing at higher levels, but now it feels like life has *turbo-charged* the pace of things. Yesterday -- a nice birthday presents -- I achieved an unprecedented win of an event in a field of very experienced dancers... as did my instructor and his partner. So there is such a sense of increased "sun" energy right now, and the feeling of one's star rising. In fact, come to think of it, that was the name of the even they won. And they feel like family to me, not just instructors.

So, I see the transformational influence of Pluto here, that's obvious. And a *lot* pertaining to the 3rd house -- not just in the obvious, with rapid flow of information and making new connections, but also with the alchemical aspect of breath, using increased oxygen to create the transformational heat necessary to create something new. And also the sense of imbuing that oxygen with intention, and then carrying the frequency of that intention into every cell nourished by the new flow of energy.

Ceres is in there with this evolving new deeper sense of nourishment. Am very much focused on maximum quality food, water, and air right now, and nothing nourishes at a more basic level than that trilogy. The role of Venus in the mix having to do with dance is obvious. The fact that all this revolves around the galactic core point in my chart is interesting... I feel as if the cosmos is dumping all its most applicable esoteric information right to my doorstep right now, and that the ability to use and transform with it can condense into weeks or days rather than what might have taken many years before.

So... there's a snippet overview of some of what's going on. Let me give back into it and see what else emerges.

Samina I have to jump in and comment on this having just discovered your thread - before I say anything else, you write beautifully and with a very strong sense of the power of words, I got such a strong picture of what's happening to you. (Can I recommend a book? Paulo Cuelo's "The Witch of Portobello". About someone called Athena, who gets swept away by the power of dance. It's astonishing, about the power of a free spirit). A late "happy birthday" too -mine is coming up on the 26th and I too am increasingly being drawn to dance. Watching it at the moment, particularly traditional Irish dancing - it enthralls me.

These mentors and coaches are all clearly in your life for a reason - you've very obviously been open to that level of expert guidance and the universe picks up on that.

Something's occurred to me looking at your chart. Have you come across Tom Jacobs' work on True Black Moon Lilith ? He posts on this site and also writes on it on his site. I'd really recommend you look into it further, as my instinct with the aspects you have between True BML - I checked its position in your chart - and Terpsichore, is that it may be dance which is helping you to access this energy.

It's not the default Lilith on Astrodienst which is the "Mean" one, but the "apogee" (you type in "h13" into the asteroids box to show it). Looking quickly at your chart you have the Muse of Dance, Terpsichore in Sagittarius (no wonder you're so open to learning and exploring dance!) True BML is only 3 degrees away. And you also have a transit from Pholus to both of them. I knew very little about Pholus, but it seemed relevant so I looked it up on Zane Stein's site and there are some keywords/phrases there written by Robert van Heeren who talks about Pholus in transit - about being "catapulted into new lands and new dimensions" and "a spontaneous and in most cases an easy shaping of skin/transformation". There's a lot more so it's well worth a look there too, it seems to describe the way these mentors have come into your life.

And you have Mars in Gemini - I've come across that in others who are natural dancers, whether they know it or not - it seems to be about energy flowing very freely and naturally through the limbs, and it trines your Libra AC so you have a natural sense of balance and harmony. You're clearly in a place now where you are wanting to express it to the world physically.

A fabulous story, thank you for sharing it!
