Listening for your call How do you know whether to pick up, is it a reflex or more systematic, like a series of ringtones ranging from melodic to discordant? How do you know if the caller is bearing news you are ready to hear even if you are open, more open to the rhythms of living and dying? How many cycles will we go through until the bells’ tolling really means what John Donne intended— it’s thee and me and everyone. The bells are tolling now, they are deep, they are droning, clanging, they are loud. Sabian Raine June 13, 2025
The buildup to two perfect squares
The atmosphere is thick. The tension impossible to ignore. The buildup to Sunday’s double square feels like a migraine and a stomach ache. The key is to make choices that you can live with, that will allow you to stay in integrity with yourself and others. Both squares bring consciousness to our actions.
This is the third square between Jupiter and Saturn, but the only one in Cardinal signs. Jupiter in Cancer can indicate extreme patriotism and the willingness to act in support of those who need our protection. We feel the political tension within Jupiter’s stay in Cancer. Saturn in Aries indicates resistance to authority and the opposite—authoritarianism. When we put these together in a first quarter square, we are facing an identity crisis. The friction is intense.
Couple that friction with the square between hot-headed Mars in Leo and Uranus, still churning in Taurus, and we have a recipe for an unprecedented release of rage.
On the collective stage, we are heading toward a stand off, toward confrontation, toward bombast and protest. What does this mean for you personally, and how do each of us link to the collective?
The first thing to realize is that this is the moment to connect, rather than disconnect. Uranus is the planet of liberation and dissociation. The way to liberation is through association, through plugging in, whether that be to yourself, your family, your neighbor, or to something more transcendent. The important piece is to know that you are the one plugging in, and to make this choice with consciousness.
While Jupiter’s square with Neptune is not exact until June 18, Neptune’s influence is a strong current. The current could be further delusion and confusion or it could be a clearing of the fog.
So hold onto your head, listen for your call, and act boldly with heart, with compassion, and in the interest of what is in the highest good for all.
