Astro-Kinetic Reflection

Temporally Conditioned Reverberative Thoughts

Resulting from Astro-Kinetic Contemplation

Today in the heavens the Moon moves into Aquarius and positions in sextile with the Sun in Aries. This sextile traverses all of the inner planets in a “hug” of activation. The Moon is situated in an outpouring of knowledge and thought that abides as the Sun explodes in action from Aries presenting the powerful generative energy of spring. The portents of the heavens beg for intuitive action that is grounded in discovers, stable, and deep seated truth.

In today’s Office of Readings Saint Augustine says,

First he [Jesus] told you how to go, then where you were going. “I am the way, the truth and the life”. At one with the Father, he is the truth and the life; taking on flesh, he becomes the way.

You are not being told, “Labour to find the way by which you can come to truth and life”. That is not it at all. Do not be sluggish! Get up! The way has itself come to you, it has woken you from sleep. So since you have been woken from sleep, get up and walk.

So often those who are more cognitively gear get engrossed in the “how and why” without actually doing. The moon enters the very cerebral house of Aquarius and tempers knowledge, pushing it to the unconscious and, while keeping it operative, she frees the subject to act.

Two saints on today's calendar show us such well founded action.

The first is Blessed Frowin of Engelberg, Abbot of Engelberg Abbey in Unterwalden.

He is a good blend of action that is founded on knowledge. Frowin founded a library and scriptorium at his Abby, but the major thrust of his learning was dynamic portrayal. Frowning encouraged painting and art, and made the house a center for learning, art and piety. Creative expression is a good balance for analytical consideration.

The second is Blessed Giuseppe Ambrosoli.

Giuseppe was no light weight in the realm of learning and knowledge. He was a physician, surgeon, teacher, and priest. But his entire life he burned with dynamism symbolized by the Sun positioned in Aries. As a college student in World War II, he helped smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland to escape persecution. In 1956 he began serving as a physician missionary in northern Uganda where he served for over 30 years. He expanded a small dispensary to a modern hospital, and founded Saint Mary’s Midwifery School.

Neither of these saints simply acted without ground. They each situated themselves in a reflective tradition.

But it is easy it get trapped by our considerations. Either we invest in the agnostic, never sure of the solidity of our foundation, or we choose and proceed and invest in an intellectual deep dive, never surfacing to use our learning.

The Moon positions herself to remind us of our call to action. She speaks as if to say “You have learned! The knowledge is part of you! Now ‘forget’ so the knowledge can work”. As she pushes the urge to know into the back ground the Sun in Aries responds, “I come to do your will” and Spring blossoms.

In the Second Reading of today’s Liturgy of the Word (2 Cor 5:17-21) Saint Paul says, “Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come…So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.” Spend time learning, but do not let the joy of learning over take the joy of will, creativity, action, relation, and expression in your life.
