Our transiting Saturn is sweeping through Pisces, hitting all of those Piscean planetsĤ. They’re also pretty close to what you’ll find in The Changing Sky where I first published them back in 1986.) (By the way, the numbered lines I quote in italics here are taken directly from the Four Nets handout in FCEA201. As we sort through our list of configurations while letting the Nets set our priorities, here’s what we see. Let’s apply the Four Nets to the current astrological situation of the school. Remember: use the Four Nets as your launching pad, but not as your crutch! It’s exactly the same with the Four Nets – a progressed Mercury, say, trining natal Neptune would rise higher in the Nets for people who have that same kind of enhanced Mercurial natal sensitivity – and it would sink in importance if they didn’t! If Gemini is rising and the person’s Sun is in the 3rd house, you’ll want to use wider orbs with Mercury – that’s because of that person’s enhanced sensitivity to those areas of life. What orb should we use for Mercury? The right answer varies with Mercury’s strength and centrality in the chart. The trouble with the Four Nets is that they suffer from the same limitations we find with the orbs of aspects. I wrote them so I should know! By all means, use them, but only as a starting point. The Four Nets to the rescue! Be warned though – they’re flawed. We need a way of getting a handle on the complexity. Got all that? The heart boggles in the face of it all. Transiting Jupiter will trine the Sun and Moon in two years.Transiting Jupiter will soon be squaring our Sun and Moon.The Progressed Moon is in the 12th house heading for the Ascendant.Transiting Neptune is conjuncting Mercury.Transiting Saturn is sweeping through Pisces, hitting all of those Piscean planets.Solar Arc Saturn is conjunct the school’s Pluto.Transiting Uranus will hit the Ascendant in two years.Transiting Pluto is squaring the school’s Uranus.In no particular order (yet), here are what seem to me to be the biggest things currently going on in the school’s chart. Basically they are simply a rough method of sorting through a slew of transits, progressions, and solar arcs with an eye on thinking in terms of first things first. If you’re just beginning our program, you can read all about them in The Changing Sky. Those of you who are currently in (or beyond) FCEA201 know that our basic tool here is what we call The Four Nets. Diving in willy-nilly without a plan is invariably a recipe for catastrophe. Much of the art of our work lies in knowing how to edit the clutter – that’s always our first step. Birthcharts are complicated enough, but adding transits and progressions can be overwhelming. Look at all those transits and progressions! As usual, one glance is enough to make you feel like you’re juggling a few too many balls. No worry, we’re definitely good to go in this case – the school’s chart represents our reality very well. If the chart doesn’t echo reality in a crystal-clear “duh” sort of way, you’ve probably got a problem. Not so the “births” of ideas, relationships, or businesses. None of that tells us anything we didn’t know already, but it demonstrates a good reality check if you’re using an “event” chart like this one – if it’s not true in “obvious” ways, that’s a sign that the chart itself might be flawed. Our path is one of education – there’s the Gemini Ascendant and the big 9th house. There’s lots of Pisces energy too – after all, we’re a spiritual tribe. That’s because we’re a tribe – a group of people who have come together for a common purpose. We’ve obviously got a massive 11th house. One glance at the basic natal chart of the school and you can easily see astrology at work. All of these bodies move slowly enough that nothing significant will have changed by the time you’re reading this. There’s nothing special about that date – it’s just when I happened to be writing this essay. I’m also only using the transits of Jupiter through Pluto – they’re the ones that have time enough to pack the symbolic punch of deep developmental meaning. As usual, for clarity’s sake, I’m not progressing the outer planets – they’re too slow to be of much practical use. This time I’m showing it with the current progressions in the middle ring and the current transits in the outer one. Most of us have seen the school’s chart before – here it is again in case you’re newly part of the family. That’s how we walk our talk – we listen when the planets shine a light on our path. A long hard look at your own transits and progressions can help keep you honest, and it’s the same for the entity we call the FCEA. It’s time for another peek at the school’s chart.
