Flow Through Pressure

-

 


Walking through the fog, Carolina song humming in my body, tears running down my cheeks. Walking from the movies that night I felt gratitude for the “Marsh girl”. I was deeply touched by her life story which echoed so much of my own life. Thank god for the art and the chance to reflect our human reality through the symbols and archetypes it offers.

On my way home I felt like I was hit by a big wave - like I’m flowing in the ocean of emotions, being pulled to the water, being called to dissolve my hard shell and feel all my insatiable longings coming to the surface. 

The movie was an ode to Saturn in Pisces. It stirred so many thoughts about what’s going to be initiated in Saturn’s realm of our lives in March of next year. 

Are you ready to visit this soft, feminine, romantic place that Saturn is going to call home for the next three years?

Imagine your body sinking into water. You’re merging with your environment, you feel it a lot more physically, you feel the movement of water, so full of potential. Life is rushing through your body, it is flowing right through you.

There is a flow and pressure at the same time but despite the increased pressure on your body, you feel the lightness - flowing like seaweed in the ocean water. Your hair is turning into seagrass and if you stay long enough, your body starts resembling a water creature. You feel the freedom of movement that is hard to experience on land. Yet you feel the constant oppression and fear of running out of oxygen and staying trapped in this mystical realm forever. 

The fluidity of the environment is turning even the most ordinary scene into a magical spectacle. A magical place, a world of its own that is impossible to grasp as it’s constantly shifting. 

Water can take us to incredible depths, it is a perfect medium that can evoke our innermost feelings of safety and belonging like we’re returning back to our innocence.

When you emerge, you feel transformed by the experience and you ache to go back…

Can you hear the calling?

There is a significant change of guards coming in spring. It might seem premature but is it really?

Living a symbolic life taught me how important it is to keep inviting planetary symbolism into my life to prepare myself for what’s coming.

Let the images flow through you, feel their impact on your body, keep turning your life into a soulful experience.

Go see the "Marsh girl”.

Let your “heart’s pain seep away like water into sand”.….

Keep hope alive, keep dreaming.

Petra

Feeling is Believing - Saturn ♓ & Jupiter ♋ & Water Trines

-
Image
  Saturn and Neptune are back in Pisces, and Jupiter is in Cancer. These planets are engaged in a powerful, long-lasting trine, and together they provide an anchor to a powerful grand water trine in the sky, with faster moving planets coming through the sign of Scorpio.  The water element is feminine in nature. Feminine energy is about emotional sensitivity, boundlessness, flow, and receptivity.  Energetically, we might feel like circumstances are constantly shifting around us. Nothing is solid, things are dissolving and taking shape at the same time, like when we´re walking through a thick fog and we see things in our surroundings taking shape in front of us and dissapearing back into the invisible realm. Coming from October into November, the reality feels like an impressionistic painting, like a huge canvas filled with visible, broken brushstrokes of pure unmixed colors. The resulting image is more about capturing a fleeting sensory experience, the uniqueness of the cu...

  On April 27, 2025, we are facing the third and final opposition of Mars and Pluto at 3° of Leo and Aquarius.  When Mars and Pluto are engaged in a harsh aspect of opposition, it is like a face-off where two power players are trying to gain control. Imagine two boxers before their showdown in the ring. They're stating their position by hurling insults and threatening each other.  ​ There is no room for pause. There is no room to catch a breath. You have to pay attention at all times otherwise your opponent takes advantage of the situation. Opposition is a push-pull relationship.  Opposition is about tension that can't be reconciled.  Opposition of Mars and Pluto brings urgency to our actions. When Mars and Pluto are involved in a tense aspect, it often feels like a survival mode – DO or DIE. Imagine unbearable pressure. It feels crushing like it's going to break you. At that moment, your instinct either kicks in and you’re going to fight for your life or you re...

All Shades of Weird - Uranus in Gemini

-
Image
  On July 7, 2025, Uranus entered Gemini, the airy domicile of Mercury. Uranus, the archetype that represents the principle of freedom and breakthrough, experimentation, and originality is now coupled with his favorite buddy. Mercury/Hermes, the ruler of Gemini, and Uranus are like mischievous buddies that crash every party. Uninvited, they show up whenever they feel like it. They have fun playing pranks on everybody to get a reaction and to stir up the trouble.    This energizing combo screams „Change for the sake of change“. Uranus in Gemini represents a double dose of speed and instability. This is an energy of „anything goes“. There are no limits and no restraints - everything is a possibility. Uranus and the sign of Gemini share a lightning-quick mind, originality, and inventiveness but at the same time, we might be dealing with overstimulation and nervous restlessness.  Our mind comes to the forefront and becomes a source of excitement. We get fascinated by tho...
