This is interesting!
It opened.
At 7:51 AM EDT this morning, the New Moon crossed zero
degrees Aries. And with it: the Sun, Mercury, Mars,
Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron all in the same sign
simultaneously.
Seven planets in Aries. A Stellium that last existed in
1821, when there was no electricity, no photograph of
Earth from space, no woman alive who could vote in any
country on this planet.
Here is what the planetary mathematics actually mean.
In astrology, a Stellium concentrates energy the way a
lens concentrates light. Seven planets in one sign is
not seven separate energies operating independently.
It is one beam. Aries is the first sign, the initiating
fire, the irreversible decision to begin. A New Moon
here is a beginning inside a beginning.
But here is what makes this specific.
New Moons in Aries happen every year. A Stellium of
seven planets in Aries at the same moment does not. The
mathematics require every one of those planets to be in
the same 30-degree arc simultaneously, which happens
once in roughly two centuries because each planet moves
at a completely different speed. Mercury laps the Sun
four times a year. Saturn takes 29 years to complete one
orbit. Neptune takes 165 years.
To have all seven of them overlap inside Aries at the
same New Moon required 205 years of orbital patience.
It opened this morning.
