Magnification. Brilliancy. When I see this in the chart it is like looking at sunlight playing on the babbling water of a spring. Catch a glimpse through the refracted surface, and you will see the water is clear and pure. We have Neptune in range of a conjunction to boot, adding to the musical captivationContinue reading "The Sun In The Stream: Jupiter Sun conjunction in Pisces"
Mars conjunct Venus conjunct Pluto: March the 3rd
(I laughed when I read the draft of this post, as I wrote it three weeks ago. I didn't know then how apt some of the language would be, or how sadly dramatic the astrological symbolism would become).
