Mercury Opposes Pallas

“Redeem the time. Redeem
The unread vision in the higher dream.
While jeweled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse” TS Eliot

This week Mercury at 12 degrees of  Capricorn opposes Pallas Athene at 12 degrees of  Cancer. Pallas Athene was the goddess of diplomacy and strategy who was always depicted with an owl on her shoulder. The owl  was a reminder of what she could not see.

The opposition of Pallas and Mercury is squaring Chiron, the asteroid of the Wounded Healer. It’s possible with this configuration for  information to emerge  about an old pattern that limits your thinking.  With Pallas in Cancer it can indicate that the pattern(s) may likely have originated in the past or a family setting.

With all the planets moving direct now it is a great time to move on from outlived  patterns of thought and feeling. We’re moving into a time of change with Saturn preparing to enter Pisces and Pluto preparing to enter Aquarius.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A fire worshiper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence.”
