The Near Conjunction of Nov. 2 - 3, 2010
|
| This is the last of the six pages on this site that are devoted to the master celestial alignment of the years between this writing in February, 2008 and the widely anticipated time of planetary transformation coming in 2012. |
| The Chiron-Neptune conjunction, which dominates the intervening years of 2009 - 2011, is unprecedented in our planetary history. at least in the sense that it's the first such event that we will have experienced since Neptune was discovered in 1846, and Chiron in 1977. That's why this site devotes a page to each act of this grand cosmic drama. They are: |

| This page is the shortest of the five, not only because the event it describes is almost three years away, but also because the "Almost" Conjunction we'll explore here represents the beginning of the end. Not the "end of the world" or of anything else, that is, but the time when the conjunction itself begins to fade, until it is no longer in effect by the end of 2011. And as we'll see in the chart that follows, Chiron and Neptune are no longer the anchor of a very concentrated stellium of planets in Aquarius, as they were at the moment of their very powerful and beautiful Exact Conjunction in February, 2010. |
| For the moment, pending updates that may be done on this page as 2010 approaches, we will look at only one chart: for Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It may be useful to look at this chart alongside the Mecca chart for February. |

| What a difference the span of nearly nine months since February has made. The planets are no longer concentrated in only six zodiac signs, but distributed through eight in a pattern very close to what astrolgers call a "splash" chart. Yet unlike a classic splash chart, in which planets are so widely scattered that they form few angles of relationship with each other -- signifying that most planets are neither in strong alliances or in intense friction with each other -- this chart does have its power. The Chiron-Neptune conjunction is on its way out now, but there is still some energy in it. |
| Pluto and the Moon's North Node in Capricorn are closely conjunct -- by less than one degree -- in the second house of money, signifying that in practical and financial terms, Saudi Arabia has come through the changes of Summer, 2010 in prosperous shape, and has very likely solidified its material position. It is also likely to have gained prestige and a stronger, more public leadership position within its region, and as the spiritual center of the Muslim faith. Mars in Gemini is rising in this chart, carrying on his swift Arabian horse an intrepid will to speak his truth and get the results he wants. The Saudis' role is likely to have become more open and forthright as well, with Chiron and Neptune conjunct in the third house of communications, still in the lively air sign of Aquarius. |
| Not that the role is comfortable, or universally accepted. Chiron and Neptune are square (90° from) the always secretive Scorpio Ascendant and opposite the Midheaven point in Leo, so that the two planets, the Ascendant and the Midheaven form a "stressful" T-cross in fixed signs, where even the most overdue and obvious changes of directon are hard to put into effect. The temptation to lapse into fear and suspicion, to practice deception and also to be deceived, is very strong here. Saudi Arabia could well find itself, at the very moment when its capacity to exercise leadership is great, unable to step out of the box of its traditional conservatism, and beyond the timidity that possessors of great wealth tend to feel at times when the terrain is befogged, and prospects even for the near term are uncertain. |

What makes the moment doubly misty is that Jupiter and Uranus are close enough to each other, even if not quite within 3°, to be in conjunction, with all that that implies about excited disputes between those who want to bring change and those who want to adhere to the old ways in both governmental and religious matters. At the same time, the Jupiter-Uranus combination is trine (120°) from the Ascendant, signaling a very active capacity to influence one's relationships and environment for the better, to gain recognition and profit from the generous quality of one's philanthropy and teamwork, and to innovate with high success in everything from new technologies to visionary social and political ideas.
