On February twenty eighth we have now a uncommon alignment of the Solar, Saturn and Mercury, all at 9° Pisces. When a planet makes a precise conjunction with (or is in the identical place as) the Solar, conventional astrologers take into account this a particular second in that planet’s travels. That is known as a Cazim (which implies ‘within the coronary heart of’). It is a time when that planet is regarded as transferring from a dire state of affairs to 1 that can give it the vitality it wants – akin to being dehydrated after which given an IV of fluids. Additionally it is thought that the planet itself is given particular entry to the supply of all energy, gentle and life – very similar to receiving a personal assembly with an individual of nice affect, knowledge and respect. To have two planets align with the solar on the similar time, which is what’s significantly uncommon and presumably promising about this week’s astrology.
Since Wednesday the Cazimis have been exhibiting Saturn (the lord of time, construction, dedication, discernment and delayed gratification) and Mercury (the messenger, author, translator, counterpart and magician), a part of what this encounter may portend is readability, conviction and spoken commitments.
It is a second when the oath is taken.
And since all of them converge in Pisces – an indication recognized for its vulnerability, creativeness, universalism, poetry, kindness, compassion, empathy and the flexibility to dissolve all boundaries – this astrological occasion could be seen as a prayer: an articulation of our devotion to all that we maintain sacred on the earth and past.
Pisces leans in direction of the soul of a state of affairs, not the social calls for positioned on it. It bravely and gently desires of a world the place nobody is sacrificed, left behind or lonely. Mercury is claimed to be in double hassle on this signal as it’s house to each the autumn and exile of Mercury. Right here the planet of communication ponders names for worlds we have now but to manifest by way of desires and insights, paying little consideration to the truth earlier than us. But this may be useful medication for these of us overwhelmed with anger on the present wickedness of the world.
Saturn has been in Pisces since March 2023 and can stay right here till Might 2025. The Madame of Boundaries turns into a deep-diving sea creature in Pisces, shaping our devotion (or embodying the type of devotion itself). Saturn’s time right here is an invite to decide to the soul of our lives and our world. The 2 collectively, purified, strengthened and infused with the sacred gentle of Sol, is a meditation in a sacred house. The sacred house of dreaming about what is feasible.
To be sincere, I felt robbed non secular Jewish areas since October 7. I’m heartbroken by the dearth of motion coming from so many establishments that made a reputation for themselves as a result of they have been Jewishly targeted on justice. Most days I’m overwhelmed with anger and disappointment on the massive numbers of organized non secular Jewish communities that haven’t but demanded an instantaneous and everlasting ceasefire. Not listening to rabbi after rabbi, congregation after congregation elevating their voices towards the atrocities of the State of Israel and its mass homicide of the Palestinian individuals, tradition, land and life leaves a ringing in my ears – a form of psychological tinnitus which threatens my psychological well being each day.
To me, not actively addressing the problems of our connection to Israel’s state-sanctioned violence is blasphemy. Once we focus solely on our personal ache, we scale back what’s sacred to what’s handy. God is a lot extra complicated than our personal private struggling.
Once I look towards the liberal Jewish establishments which have remained unmoved for the previous 5 months, silent within the face of this decisive second, I see a vortex, an altar of sacrifice, a ready house for increasingly violence and dying. I see so little that’s really Jewish. However a lot is Zionist.
I can not sink too deep into my anger with out being strengthened by the rebellion of so many around the globe demanding an finish to this violence. Folks and organizations dedicated to the reality about how we bought right here and why. Individuals who know that an instantaneous answer to the present disaster and a long-term technique for restarting the world are wanted.
Once I search for what’s type, good, and ethical, I discover a variety of it. And that is what I would likeI do not need to affiliate myself with these cazimis. I pray that I can’t let this second diminish my religion in what is feasible. I will not let this make me lose religion in us. I can’t let my anger eat me, and I can’t let the bridge between us be burned. I’ll proceed to be strengthened by the prayers and actions of my fellow human beings. I’ll proceed to be impressed by all of the methods the human spirit perseveres and needs to know magnificence, love, and freedom. I’ll stay open to the dream that thousands and thousands upon thousands and thousands of us have: the dream of a world the place nobody is lower than, nobody’s humanity is diminished, nobody’s God is withheld. I’m going to commit myself radically the reality that all of us need to be free of techniques of supremacy. I promise to have my coronary heart damaged time and again and nonetheless search the sweetness of a cherished one’s embrace. I promise to hope for the braveness to behave when my time comes. I promise to remain curious. I promise to make use of what I can, after I can, nevertheless I can, to middle the acute significance of fact as a result of that’s the solely means I understand how to look after the soul of my life and this world can care for.
