From where do we build and draw faith?

Neptune is in the spotlight due to its definitive entry into Aries, and its conjunction with Saturn at 00 degrees Aries and 45′ (1st degree of Aries). What is a conjunction? A conjunction gives emphasis, unifies energies, it does not offer awareness. Awareness is manifesting through the opposition aspect (like the Full Moon). This particular conjunction is characterized as “historic” because it is rare. We do not have a recent previous one in this sign and at this degree of the sign, in order to make certain comparisons. It also preludes (converses) in time with two other planetary cycles of collective significance and development that are entering another area of expression (Uranus trine Pluto – Aquarius and Gemini) and Uranus sextile Neptune (Gemini–Aries) this year. This is particularly rare, and highlights that whatever begins now, affects us all, and within the next three to five years (until 2031), not only is here to stay, it will determine the evolution of the world, of coming generations, and of our reality, to a degree that we cannot really and fully conceive.

We are in a moment of envisioning, contemplation or completion and closure of chapters. In a moment of collapse of previous ideals, and creation of new ones. In a moment where our faith may be tested. How is this interpreted at the beginning of a Aries? (The Vernal Equinox point?- The point of equal light and darkness). How does this completion manifest in a new way, an initiative, in a new environment. A new perspective. With a different stance that is called to evolve what we defined as ideal, and to focus on a new ideal. Which gives form to something, which is expressed in a new way and relates to our vital space, perhaps our own lived experience, or sense of identity.

When something is so close to us, we do not perceive it holistically so easily, it absorbs us, and gives us the impulse to do something about it. It is like the threshold of a door the exact moment we enter or depart, and that first step. However, we struggle to separate or discern what is coming or what will arise from it. This stirs up emotions, thoughts, courage, hope, and this step will have certain consequences -results in the future. The conjunction speaks of a trigger, a first manifestation. Something that nudges us to see things differently, to negotiate the moment with the totality. To perform a transcendence. It is like the moment of an embrace, of a farewell or of a critical meeting. Every new commitment, also speaks of a release of a previous one.
