When planets change signs there is a profound shift in expression of the principles and values they symbolize. Saturn and Neptune have both been in Pisces—Neptune since 2012 and Saturn since 2023. We are now on the cusp of both entering Aries—Neptune on January 26 and Saturn on February 14. Both these celestial movements point to the beginning of a new era colored by the fiery consciousness of Aries. In order to explore the openings and challenges of these signatures I want to look at the Greco-Roman goddess Athena. Personifying aspects of the archetypal pattern of consciousness symbolized by Aries and its polarity partner Libra, a greater awareness of Athena, and the style of consciousness she personifies, can aid us in consciously navigating some of the opportunities and challenges of this fiery celestial chapter.
