Turning In The Widening Gyre
by Sean Stubblefield
Quoting Yeats: “The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight.”
What happens when astrology merges with astronomy?
The Zodiac derives from the yearly path Sol (our sun) seemingly takes across particular constellations, which is why there are twelve astrological signs. Or, at least, there were 12... when the Zodiac was created a few thousand years ago. In the solar cycle, there are 12 months, but the lunar cycle has 13. The Mayans recognized 13 star signs. 13 was significant in ancient Celtic society, considered sacred as they revered the feminine and therefore the lunar cycle and Luna (our moon). The sun is a masculine symbol; the moon, feminine. So our male dominated society elevates and operates by the sun. For habit and convenience, twelve signs of the Zodiac (Western or Chinese) have been accepted and perpetuated as constant and unchanging. But since the impact of a 26,000 year long wobble called “precession” has caused Earth’s orientation to gradually shift slightly, Sol passes over a thirteenth constellation between Scorpio and Sagittarius-- from November 30 to December 17: Ophiuchus (The Serpent Bearer/Holder).
Technically, this makes Ophiuchus the twelfth sign, and Sagittarius the thirteenth.
Consequently, this alteration of the cycle inevitably skews astrological alignment and thus its influences on and application to us; as well as variances in the ebb and flow of cosmic energies, electromagnetic and gravitational forces we are exposed to.
Metaphorically, could the appearance of snake wielding Ophiuchus in our sky be an auspicious omen, denoting an imminent and unfolding transitional time of healing and enlightenment? Maybe this represents the prophesied return of Christ?
