Between Stars and Destinies

Astrological Reflections During Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn

As we begin the week, I wish to share with you some reflections on astrology.

Astrology, and specifically the natal chart, acts as a mirror of what already exists: we already are what our natal chart reveals. Astrological language provides us access to an objective description of who we are, from a perspective that transcends our usual understanding and is deeply connected to our 'earthly' essence. This language overlooks cultural conditioning, and each planet serves as an indicator of a stream of consciousness that channels the archetypal energy of the sign it transits.

Learning astrological language allows us to discover ourselves, as if we were accessing Akashic records written from another dimension. Here, Pluto's influence is not merely interpreted as the awakening of the taboo, but as a part of our consciousness seeking to transcend the comfortable fantasy that keeps us within lunar warmth, thus promoting our personal evolution. Pluto's position is simply a reflection of something already present in our nature.

Even so, we can consider the planets as teachers guiding us on the hero's journey, as I have mentioned in other articles. But not as earthly guides, rather as vortexes of unimaginable potentials from our point of view, which expand our perception and align it with cosmic truths.

Therefore, I see the astrologer not as a counselor, but as a journalist specialized in cosmic realities. They are a provider of information that helps to untangle and reclassify different aspects of our personal reality, offering an evolutionary, shamanic, and/or esoteric perspective of life.

With these reflections, I start the week under a Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn, inviting us to restructure our perception of the path towards self-realization.
