Hey everyone. There is a configuration in the sky right now that I want to talk about, because people keep saying once in a lifetime about things, and this one might actually be it.

Jupiter is at 4 degrees and 0 minutes of Leo, conjunct the sun. He is sextiling Uranus at 4 degrees of Gemini. Uranus is trining Pluto at 4 degrees of Aquarius. And Neptune, at 4 degrees of Aries, is trining Jupiter. Four outer planets, four of the same degree, all able to reach each other mathematically at once.

That is the part that makes it rare. The personal planets, Mercury and Venus and Mars and the moon, move fast. They are talking constantly. The outer planets are on the other side of Saturn and they move slowly, so when they land in a position where they can all speak to each other, it is worth stopping for.

Let me start with Jupiter, because he is the one in the middle of it. Jupiter rules Sagittarius. He is the biggest planet and he represents faith and luck, and this is why I am always telling my Saggies to practice saying no, because you people just keep expanding. Sitting at 4 degrees of Leo and conjunct the sun, he is getting warmed up in the sign the sun rules. The way I read the chakras, Leo is the solar plexus. That is self-esteem. That is the thing that moves you forward. So Jupiter is going to expand on faith in yourself, at a young unjaded degree.

Uranus in Gemini is the aha. Uranus comes out of nowhere. He is the disruptor, and in Gemini, which is communication, he is blowing up old ways of talking and handing us new ones. Gemini gathers information in order to make the best decision, and Uranus is in there rearranging what counts as information in the first place.

Neptune at 4 degrees of Aries is more interesting than people give it credit for. Neptune rules Pisces, all that water, the unconscious, spirituality, the thing you cannot see but you can feel. Aries is cardinal fire. Aries wants to move it forward and is not entirely sure how yet, because feelings are not a road map.

Then Pluto at 4 degrees of Aquarius. Pluto is death and transformation, and I will say something here I have not heard other people say. When I think of the Death card in the tarot, I think of the Tudor rose on it, and a Tudor rose represents a truce. So Pluto is not only an ending. Sometimes it is calling a truce. This is where we are. We have to move forward now.

How do you move forward with confidence when you are in between ways of communicating, in between ways of understanding spirituality, and watching old systems fall?

That is the question the four of them are holding. And the number four is where this gets good, because the fourth card of the major arcana is the Emperor. You can see the rams' heads on the throne. Aries, ruled by Mars. Which is the same age this astrology came out of, the age of Aries, five thousand years ago.

So the story sitting on top of this alignment, for me, is the story of the Emperor getting rewritten. That divine masculine energy moving out of conquest and might makes right, and into accountability and compassion. Not because anybody is being emasculated. Because the version we inherited does not work, and we can all see it now. What makes the divine masculine divine is that he listens to his intuition. That is what puts him in alignment.

The other thread here is how we read the sky at all. The tropical zodiac we all use says the sun is at 26 degrees of Cancer. If you go outside and look at the true sky, the sun is somewhere else entirely, in a different constellation. My mentor Heather Ensworth works with the living sky, and I keep coming back to the question of why we ever stopped navigating by what is actually up there, since that was the whole point of it.

Does that mean I am going to stop reading this chart? No. This is what I learned and I have a real affinity for it. But we can hold this system and layer the true sky and the living sky on top of it and get a fuller story out of all three. That is integration, and integration is what this whole configuration is asking for.

Jupiter will keep moving. The others will stay. So this is not a here it is, oh, that happened kind of moment. It is energy that starts permeating, and it starts new stories.

And if it is making you anxious, get off the internet as much as you can. Go touch grass. Go lie in the sun. If it is more than that, reach out to somebody, there is no shame in it. We are very good at adapting. We are smarter than we give ourselves credit for. The Emperor is ready for the story to change.
