Sun & Jupiter conjunct Eris

I hope you are enjoying this week's Saturn sextile the North Node which is exact today. Our responsibilities are facilitating our destiny, so embrace the work you have to do and be aware that you are creating karma for your future self.

Interestingly, Saturn and his higher octave, Varuna, are inconjunct during this time. So there is a fated relationship between our responsibilities and our sense of sovereignty. Remember sovereignty is a dance between our intention and the collective psyche. We have to claim it and at the same time others have to agree to give it to us.

And this inconjunct between Varuna and Saturn means that Varuna is also square the North Node, which poses the question: Do we give ourselves, and do others give us, enough credit to live up to what these times demand, so that our destined work can flower?

And for those interested in understanding the dance of sovereignty in your own life, I have a few scholarships available on the Varuna course which is starting on Friday in the next course bracket. More information below.

Sun conjunct Eris

Meanwhile the Sun is also conjunct Eris, so we need to embrace an inclusive wholistic view that accepts opposing viewpoints to be empowered today. If we don't, we're likely to get into ego conflicts in which the more we 'rise to the occasion' to deal with it, the more the conflict escalates.

Jupiter is coming up to a conjunction with Eris at the end of next week as Mercury turns retrograde. So if we can maintain an inclusive light-filled approach for the next week, we'll likely get a lucky-break just as we enter our three weeks of retrograde Mercury review.

Truth-Telling Spirit Guide

Eris is a truth-teller and few exemplify this better than Oprah Winfrey, who pioneered the intimate confessional style of talk show. She has Eris in the 3rd house of communication, giving her a strong voice and the intellect to discern what is off balance and who is not included.

Her Eris is inconjunct her Mars in the 11th House. These are fateful aspects and she was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a single teenage mother. She has stated that she was molested during her childhood and early teens and became pregnant at 14; her son was born prematurely and died in infancy.

She landed a job in radio while still in high school and by 19, she was a co-anchor for the local evening news. Her Eris is trine her Moon in the 11th house of collective consciousness, and her often emotional, extemporaneous delivery eventually led to her transfer to the daytime talk show arena. Her debut season boosted a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place in the country. Her Eris is also sextile her Sun and Venus, which are conjunct, in the 2nd house of material resources, and she is North America’s first black multi-billionaire. She has become so wealthy through her truth-telling that she now gives away large sums.
