Upon a New Path
I’ve been receiving intriguing new messages and following a variety of signs recently that encourage embarking upon a new path.
This happens every once in a while. In my life, specifically, the cycle seems to be around every 20 years or so. There are other patterns that come and go within those twenty year cycles, and they seem to repeat in shorter waves, weaving in and out, announcing perhaps more subtle changes that perhaps aren’t quite as big as the double decade.
Perhaps this shift of path I’m sensing is related to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction that takes place every twenty years. Yes, we went through that back at the end of December (the Winter Solstice – December 21st, to be exact), when we witnessed the Grand Conjunction that I wrote about (and documented pictorially) so often. But let’s remember: it’s a twenty-year cycle. So if I or you or any of us is only just now starting to get a sense of how our lives may be changing as a result of this ‘spark,’ I think such lag time is understandable – and forgivable – particularly given the rather momentous distractions that have been playing out all around us.
Take a Look
When you think about all we’ve been through, collectively, since December 21st, I think it only stands to reason that we might not have had a chance to give ourselves the time and space to actually reflect upon what was going on in our lives during the last Jupiter-Saturn conjunction.
So maybe now that we’ve had a chance to breathe a little and settle ourselves down into a slightly lower sense of anxiety, it’s time to consider where things may be holding some change for us. We can start by looking at what area of our life, if any, experienced a major shift around the time of the most recent conjunction (before this past December), which occurred on 5/28/2000.
And for those of you who, like me, can reflect even further back, the other dates of this specific planetary conjunction were:
- 1/1/81, 3/6/81, and 7/25/81 (clearly they conjuncted, then Jupiter scooted forward for a bit then went retrograde, causing it to come back and conjunct Saturn again, kept going retrograde, then went direct again and conjuncted with Saturn one last time before continuing onward in its orbit);
- 2/18/61; and
- 8/6/40, 10/21/40, and 2/14/41.
As I say, personally, I can see how specific major changes in my life happened in close proximity to these conjunctions. As I engage in this reflection, it’s helping me understand and interpret the signs, messages, and signals I’m receiving now.
Perhaps you’ll find this to be true for you as well.
