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

 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 current moment, than sticking to a rigid form, concrete goals, or final results.     
The word impression originally comes from what is created from pressure like in printing, when we create a number of copies from one original. What was initially referring to a mark made by pressure in a strictly physical sense was later referred to an image or feeling produced in the mind. Our bodies and minds are more porous to external forces at this time, and we might be more susceptible to influences from our immediate environment. We might become more sensitive to impressions that stamp deeply in our minds or hearts and create lasting images without the need to rationalize them.  
 
Insights might come to us through powerful dreams or other imaginary means like art, movies, or music that stir up our emotions and memories. Realizations might arrive on the border between sleep and wakefulness without the need to involve our analytical mind.
With so much water in the energetic environment, rational is giving way to emotional. Now it´s about feeling our way through rather than about extracting a concrete meaning from what’s going on in our lives.
 
This mutable quality of energetic reality points to the multiplicity of meanings and interpretations. We need to give different stories in our lives more time and space to settle. We need to be patient enough for the right meaning to appear rather than trying to derive it from our rational assumptions. 
 
This is in-between space.
We are in the process of slowly arriving at where we need to be. 
This is a good time to become less rigid in our minds, less fixated on the form and „how things should be or how they should look like“. 
 
We need to give more space to our feelings.  
Feelings have a way to expand our limited mind and the space we carve for ourselves. 
Feelings feed our imagination, and they are fuel for our dreams. Feelings can help us go beyond our everyday reality, to places where we would never dare otherwise, just using our mind. 
Feeling is believing. We don't need to see something to believe it. Our life can be magical if we allow it. Faith is our everyday magic. Imagine what life would be without a vision of goodness. See how your perspective can change if you first ask yourself how you feel about something rather than what you think about it. 
This is a message we can contemplate as Jupiter is now backtracking its steps in the watery sign of Cancer.   
 
Since September, Saturn has been back in Pisces. On November 28, Saturn is turning direct, preparing for its final march through the sign of Pisces. Saturn is teaching us about the quality of time. There is time for everything, and often we need to give things more time than we like. We have to wait for that ripening moment when the fruit falls off the tree and it’s ready to be harvested. This time is coming soon.

We might be feeling like we’re finally ready, ready to move on from a past, ready to release something that has been burdening us emotionally for years.
The insight, the lesson learned, the decision that follows might come first as a feeling in our body, a feeling of peace and relief. The rational acknowledgment might come like the afterthought, „it makes sense, it has been a long time coming“.

Keep hope alive, keep dreaming.
