I thought this was a really interesting article about Juno. It says that Juno is primarily concerned with Right Soul Relationships, and the fulfillment of Soul Contracts. And as far as when it was conjunct the Galactic Center, I realized that something specific did happen on each of those days (March 16th and May 19th) in my relationship. Did anyone else notice something happening in your relationship on those days? Something that was pivotal?Juno conjuncts the Galactic Centre
This integration into the Emotional Body, will set the foundation for the three alignments of asteroid Juno with Galactic Centre during 2008, in March, May and October. This will assist us in learning how to become more fully and consciously in Right Relationship with others and the planet, from the new perspective that has been previously imprinted by Pluto and Jupiter.
Juno:
Juno is primarily concerned with Right Soul Relationship and the fulfillment of "Soul Contracts". Whereas Venus is concerned with our relationship needs, requirements, hopes and aspirations at the personality level, Juno can bring an understanding and appreciation of our deeper relationship patterns, karmic attachments, and soul-connections from past lives with others.
In essence, Juno can re-connect us to our primal soul-memory of what it means to be in Right Relationship with Divine Spirit, with ourselves and with others. Buried deep beneath the accumulated patterns, energy-imprints and memories of every relationship our soul has ever encountered throughout its many lifetimes, there lies a pure memory and yearning to re-experience simple, unconditional and all-embracing love, such as we experienced before our soul began its journey into incarnation and apparent separation from Divine Source.
We tend to project this memory as a need to find such unconditional love from another, in our search for relationship; it is the re-stimulation of this soul-memory that occurs when we fall in love, and for a while, whilst the energy of the new connection can hold us in this place, we may believe that at last we have found a love that accords with our primal soul-memory...that is until the unresolved patterns of the personalities, and the unintegrated or misaligned aspects of our (and the other’s) soul begin to kick in, and the spell of being utterly in love is broken, and we plummet back to Earth!
And no wonder, because we have re-stimulated our soul’s unconscious accumulated memory of every relationship, good or bad, blissful or painful, that we have ever experienced throughout many lifetimes, and we will have to move through these patterns, memories, fears, anxieties, hopes, expectations and inner resistances before we can return fully and permanently to the blissful state of being unconditionally in love. This is always a possibility – it just depends on how willing and able we are to peel away the layers in order to reach that blissful state, which is our birthright.
Now, as Juno makes three conjunctions with the Galactic Centre during 2008, there is a real possibility for many people to realize this yearning for a deep, fulfilling and complete return into Right Relationship in many areas of our lives and to be able to express and receive unconditional love:
The Galactic Centre:
The Galactic Centre is the means through which the energies of Divine Source manifest into our Galaxy. It is the creative source within the centre of the Galaxy that both creates new stars and re-absorbs them back into itself through the supermassive black hole at its core – it is Bhrama and Shiva. Energetically and symbolically, when planets or major asteroids align with this point in space (26º 57’ Sagittarius), they offer us the opportunity to re-connect those planetary qualities right back to Source.
Throughout last year, Pluto was aligned with the GC, challenging us to align our personal will with our spiritual will and individual divine purpose – now we are being challenged to carry that understanding out into all of our relationships in the world – to live from a place of Right Relationship. This means understanding the core patterns within our relationships, and resolving to address unresolved issues and karmic ties that hold us back from fully and lovingly expressing the truth of who we are, within all our relations. It is about understanding our "soul contracts" with others – those agreements that we made before our incarnation, about what we would be and do for others in order to further us and them along our respective spiritual paths.
Always, the essence of fulfilling these contracts is that we remain true to ourselves at the deepest level of our spiritual understanding – our service to others depends upon our ability to serve the truth within our being, and to respond to the needs of others from that central place of inner balance, calm detachment and loving compassion. Where we get "caught" is when we believe that we owe others some sort of "karmic debt", which will inevitably have at least a thread of good old guilt woven into it. Whenever this is present, then we simply keep perpetuating the karmic attachment, whilst kidding ourselves that we are "working out our karma", or saying "it’s a karmic relationship, I have to endure it", and so on. Karma is resolved through love and forgiveness...of ourselves. That is the greatest service that we can do for another – forgive ourselves and release the energy-attachments to the other so that we and they can be spiritually free to follow our paths.
Juno conjunct GC - 16th March 2008
At this first conjunction, we will get a taste of what is possible as this process unfolds throughout the year ahead. Juno, Pluto and the GC form part of a "Mystic rectangle" pattern with Pluto opposing Mars, and Saturn opposing a conjunction of the Moon’s Node, Mercury and Venus.
A Mystic Rectangle is always in search of some spiritual ideal – the catch is not to kid ourselves that we are already there, by creating a false sense of balance and spirituality, whilst aspects of our shadow are still festering away on the inside, unseen by ourselves (and sometimes others), and depleting the energy of our spiritual core, in order to maintain an outward appearance of spiritual "togetherness". The release comes when we can confront these inner conflicts, acknowledge the shadow qualities, and truly express the ideal as a natural outpouring from our core energy, not something that we constantly have to work hard at in order to maintain a semblance of balance and spirituality.
So in this particular pattern, we have the frequencies from Divine Source flowing in from the Galactic Centre, seeking to express themselves through our relationships, challenging the established ways and underlying emotional attitudes which inform how we habitually express our personal will (Mars).
Meanwhile, retrograde Saturn and the Moon’s South Node are challenging us to release the imprinted attitudes from past lives, particularly where we may feel that our pride may have been hurt (the South Node is conjunct the star Regulus in Leo, one of the so-called Royal Stars of Persia, who’s downfall is to seek for revenge). So this pattern is counseling the letting go of deeply held patterns of the past through conscious intention and forgiveness – the meaning of the Moon’s North Node, Mercury and Venus which are all opposite Saturn in Aquarius and Pisces.
Juno retrograde conjunct GC - 19th May
Now, whilst Juno is in its retrograde phase, we have a Grand Trine pattern from Juno and Pluto to Saturn and to Pallas Athene, whilst the rest of the chart looks like it is in a process of chaotic release! The balanced figure of the Grand Trine will hold it all together, and act as a reservoir of strength and stability for us to draw upon, whilst everything may be going crazy around us! Saturn will enable us to draw upon the established patterns of relationship from our past, and Pallas will enable us to draw on our inner knowing of what is right for us and for others to remain in soul- connection and right relationship – the challenge at this time will be to trust that inner knowing, and not be distracted from the demands of others, and the frantic activity going on around us. A time to stay centered!
Final Juno/GC conjunction - 23rd October
The third conjunction with the GC creates a pattern of rich and dynamic movement, as if attempting to weave everything together into a coherent whole – this too may be a time of confusion until we get to the moment when Juno finally catches up to Pluto, creating a beautiful crystalline-like pattern in the skies, which will enable us to anchor the energies of the Juno/GC conjunctions and express them fully in our daily lives:
Juno conjuncts Pluto – exact on 30th October
Juno and Pluto are exactly conjunct, aligning our soul-body with our spiritual-will body and anchoring these energies into the fire within the Earth, through a trine aspect to Great Mother Ceres in Leo. Ceres, in turn connects to the Moon in Scorpio, challenging us to carry these frequencies deep into our emotional energy-structure, using them to align with our spiritual purpose (Moon’s Node) and calling in the frequencies of Unconditional Love to heal us at the deepest level (Chiron approaching Neptune), drawing on the resources of our rational mind (Mercury in Libra) and our intuitive mind (Pallas in Gemini), which form a Grand Trine with the Node, Neptune and Chiron.
Pallas is also the pivotal point of a Grand Cross pattern, and a Projection Figure or "Finger of God". So, the intuitive mind will act as the pivotal key, in the integration of these three interlaced patterns.
The creativity of the Grand Trine, will balance the more challenging energies of the Grand Cross: Here, we have a Venus/Pallas opposition and a Saturn/Uranus opposition. Venus in Sagittarius will bring the urge to explore new possibilities and horizons in our relationships, whilst Pallas will bring the voice of intuitive knowing to prevent this exploration from going too far.
Similarly, Uranus in Pisces will be urging us to break free of past limitations, fears and inhibitions engendered in us over the last 2000 years of the Piscean Age, whereas Saturn in Virgo will keep us grounded and acting in ways that are well-considered and practical, using our spiritual discernment in the choices that we make.
Finally, the Finger of God pattern will enable us to express our intuitive knowing (Pallas) through the spiritual overview of Jupiter and the Right Action of Mars.
The whole pattern looks like a spinning top pivoting on Pallas Athene, so as long as we can remain centered and balanced, then we can express all of the above qualities in their most positive aspect.
