The Notre Dame fire is yet another remarkable instance of the Grand Fire trine…perhaps even more specifically the exalted Sun in Aries making a trine to a just turned retrograde Jupiter in fiery Sagittarius while the Sun is flowing forth from the squares to the South Node, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn…a religious icon, a monolithic structure from the past, at once political, cultural, and theological, is burning down…the news breaks as the Moon travels through the sign of the Virgin…
I see this event as hopeful somehow…relieving even…though I take no joy or pleasure in seeing temples devastated…
Thoughts…
* The exalted Sun speaks to peak events, at the south bending, with Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, the dismantling of old structures, the death and resurrection of old heroes, monuments, and icons.
* The trine to retrograde Jupiter from the Sun shows the simultaneous benefits being provided from the forces of fire and fate…things that must be burned will burn…when the cathedral as old and sturdy as the knees of the world falls, then we too can find our knees again…can say a true prayer once more…
* It is remarkable to note that Notre Dame was literally built on top of the ruins of a temple once dedicated to Jupiter…
* There is no temple that will not eventually return to ashes and water…every rain that falls upon us is the forgiveness of an old temple fire….so many temples burn when we understand that every form in this world is a house of the holy….then…how beautiful it is to imagine this temple being lifted into the clouds, to rain down and release people of its stony grip…
* Every true psalm comes from the pain and outstanding glory of our separation from the holy cities of the lord…when temples burn they also become celestial…they find an ethereal home in the upper spheres…
* Notre Dame just cut the heavenly ribbon in a sphere we can’t see with our naked eyes right now
* When we consider the “passion” of the Christ, we must always consider the pain of loving so much that it burns through every fear and every stone and every wall.
* When we consider the “passion” of the Virgin, whose secret zodiacal antiscia is to fiery Aries, we might recognize the purifying and patient fire of the maiden…there is a young winged angel, or many of them, trapped in the forgetful stones of our traditions…and they cannot be released from their servitude, to reclaim their never tainted beauty, until a rosy hero dies or a black stoned edifice is leveled to ash and rises to rain.
* Interestingly, this afternoon, as I was purging my office, I put away all of my Christian icons, except for an image of Christ and Mother Theresa. I thought to myself, “I need less of these icons and more space around me for the love of Christ to breathe, for the love of the Mother to rest.”
I didn’t know that Notre Dame was burning…
Prayer: Show us your home in the heavens, give us the vision to see your mighty love, lifting us up even as we feel that we’re burning down…
