Today’s astrological musing is based on September the second and third of 2009.
In astrology we use the position of the planets to find our own personal place with the higher forces inside the parameters of a creative, unfolding, intelligent universe. We use the planets as mirrors symbolizing the potentiality of time quality.
In astrology we differentiate between time quantities versus time quality.

The Flow of Time
Our normal experience of time passing is based on a mental perception. We do perceive the unfolding of time and the changes all around us in nature throughout the year. Our ancestors already watched the constellation of the stars in the skies changing along with the seasons.
There is a cause and an effect on the horizontal level of time.

But time is tricky! In truth there is really only the eternal present moment; the past is a memory and the future a projection.

Time Quality in Astrology
In astrology we work with the quality of time in the moment of a beginning of something.
This beginning can be the new life of a baby, the signing of a contract or a marriage. We treat this beginning as the seed moment of what has begun to unfold. Like the seed of a plant already contains all the information needed for the plant to grow into the full plant.

When we cast a chart for a baby, we know what potential is has for this life.

The quality or seed of this beginning is determining the unfolding of those possibilities in the quantity of time passing. Imagine a book which contains already the whole story, but we need time quantity available to us to read it and enjoy the whole story.

Astrology works vertically. It uses the planets as a symbolic map to raise our consciousness to greater wisdom and understanding and helps to align us with the choreography of the universal laws and forces we are part of as well as the planets.

Mercury in Libra Squaring Mars in Cancer
The square is an aspect with friction and challenge between the two planets connected. Mercury in Libra likes to take both sides into consideration, weighs the arguments, keeps an open mind and asks questions. Mars in Cancer tends to defend the home turf for any costs. Both planets connected with a square might not find it so easy to settle into a meaningful conversation without annoyance or escalation into a serious argument. Just be aware of it!

Lunar Astrology
Moon is the archetypal mother, the inner woman or outer woman, nourishing us in her unique way of being. She is our emotional filter towards the world and can give us hints to how interconnected we all are.

The Moon in astrology reflects consciousness evolving through our inner digestive process of our feelings and guides us intuitively through our day. Because emotions are often unclear and hidden from the light of consciousness and it might take a while to float up to conscious recognition and acknowledgement. By following the Moon position we will gain more insight into our own inner workings.
