Jupiter is stationing on my Sun-Moon midpoint; Saturn is stationing on my Pluto; I have a Chiron Return; Uranus is squaring my Moon-Saturn; Neptune and the Node are conjoining my Sun; and Pluto is trining Pluto.
The big one in all this is Neptune conjunct Sun, and the rest are cheerleaders (well, not quite). What it feels like is that a defensive shell is dissolving, one that was necessary as a young adult to protect myself against the strange values I grew up around, but which is now in the way, which makes me rigid and defensive and cut off from my wellsprings. So here’s to some skin-shedding!
True to a Neptune transit, I’ve just bought some peyote plants and seeds. This is a long-term project, as peyote is very slow-growing. Apparently the authorities in the US are doing their best to get rid of peyote in the wild (along with some help from tourists), and so control the use of it by Native Americans. So there is a project to cultivate it domestically, and a seed bank to which you can send your seeds and get others in return: in this way genetic diversity is maintained.The best time for planting seeds, as you might expect, is while the Moon is waxing, while it is still in a phase of new growth; and the best time for harvesting is when the Moon is waning, while it is in a phase of ripeness. So I am waiting to plant my peyote until the 5th of May, when there will be a New Moon in the perfect sign of Taurus.
Another Neptunian event: I've just treated myself to the complete works of Bach, and a decent CD player instead of a salvaged one. I'm just trying it out as I write, Mozart Violin Concertos at high volume with some decent bass at last, wonderful.
Jupiter is about growth. While he is stationing his influence is more powerful than usual. So if you have anything near 22 Capricorn, the next few weeks are a time for putting forth new shoots, trying out things you’ve always wanted to do, or always known you’d be good at.

Dear Dharmaruci,
I have to tell you how much I enjoy and look forward to, reading your blog. I read alot of astro-babble out there, but yours is a real treat.
I came to wonder more about what makes you tick and looked at your chart. The first thing I saw was your chiron return. I think chiron could have a lot to do with what you are presently experiencing: the energy levels especially, as chiron can open the sleeping kundalini force. As I've read, on a return, you come truly into your own personal-healing-power.... I'm not at my return yet, but a have alot of chiron infused in my chart and have researched a fair amount on the old healer. ... Another interesting note, your moon sits right on my sun and your ascendant is opposite my Saturn. Your writings are like teachings for me. You moon in sag folks can sure bring your insights home.
Thanks for the great writing, thoughtfulness and practicality of your work!

Thanks mistyoga. And that's a useful reflection on Chiron. That Sun-Saturn-Chiron-Uranus-Pluto t-square is quite something to have to live with, isn't it? Plus Moon in Gemini also in on the act?
Ha!
Thanks for picking-up on that.
My moon is in taurus

watch out for that jupiter at the sun/moon midpoint, it's awfully fertile... and I don't mean peyote seeds ;)
Is it me that needs to watch out?
Sorry to hear about Sun and Neptune D. I have just come through Neptune on moon. Its weird.

Good luck with all those transits!
I always find music saves my soul when it comes to Neptune. Dissolving into tears helps too. Get the right music and you can do both :-)
good point, DR, I guess it's the "goddess" or "empress" in the environment who needs to be on the lookout, re: jupiter at the sun/moon midpoint!
Heh. We must be about the same age. I'm having my Chiron return (also opposes my Moon) on 7th cusp, Saturn is sitting on my Mercury and Venus/Pluto (conjoined at 2 Vir), Pluto trining Merc. No Neptune right now for me, though. Just Uranus opposing my Sun and squaring my Saturn. I have a pretty concentrated chart, so when transit hit they tend to pile on! But then I also get long breaks... :-)
Good luck with the transits. Take it easy with that peyote. ;-)
