This Section provides an overview of the Planetary Pairs as used for OracleCards Readings
| Astrology - Planetary Pairs (for a more
complete reference, please see The
Planets and Their Symbols) |
 -

Sun - Moon |
Represents the light or energy that sustains us comes from
both the universe (Sun), and from within (Moon) |

(Mercury) or the mind of humanity (Pluto) |
 -

and feeling/judgment oriented (Venus) or outward, active energy
and our physicality (Mars) |
 -
 |
Jupiter - Saturn |
Represents our social environment encountered and approached
through cooperation as 'in unity there is strength' (Jupiter),
or approached through our individuality (ego), formed during
life as we face the challenges of environmental and social constraints
(Saturn) |

 |
Uranus - Neptune |
Represents cosmic messengers who shake up the status quo
by awakening in us ideas that are unconventional (Uranus), and

unrelated arrangements (Neptune) |
The Planetary Pairs work with the rows of the framework,
and are reflective of the flow of consciousness as it works within
each column (for a discussion on the columns, see the Evolution
of 7 topic). Ultimately the 8 by 7 matrix (8 rows and
7 columns) that we are working with represents a map that describes
the manner in which universal ch'i (columns) and universal consciousness
(rows) interpenetrate to manifest the 3D realm in which we live.
The flow of energy goes in the same direction as the way the cards
are dealt out, from top to bottom and right to left. The cards
are dealt starting with the 1st row of the 7x7 matrix and ending
with the crown
line, showing that the energy loops back around to the top.
The rows are grouped into 4 pairs of 2 rows each, starting with
the crown line and the 1st row (Mercury line). The paired rows are representative
of the flow of consciousness as it enters through the Crown and
drops into the Heart, creating 4 rings of awareness as it ripples
through the body. In the 4 groups of paired rows, the following
terms are used in the descriptions:
Outwardly - Represents the energy of the planet when reading for
the rising
spread.
Inwardly - Represents the energy of the planet when reading for
the moon spread
The 1st of the paired rows groups the Crown Line (the row atop the 7x7 matrix) with the Mercury line
(the 1st row of the 7x7 matrix). This group signifies
the vibration of the drop
of divine nectar as it drops into the Heart initiating
the 1st ring of awareness. This ring exposes consciousness
through the interaction of Mercury and Pluto as it connects
the individual mind (Mercury) with the cosmic mind, or the
mind of humanity (Pluto).
- Crown Line
- Outwardly it works with Pluto and represents the connection
points to cosmic consciousness through which the Ego works
to contact the higher
self, thus building a bridge between the higher
mind and the lower
mind (Mercury).
- Inwardly it works with Mercury and represents the effort
of the lower
self to raise the vibration of the lower
mind to that of the higher
mind (Pluto) through the functioning of the abstract
mental awareness.
- Mercury Line
- Outwardly it works with Mercury and represents the
creative expression of the lower
mind as a function of the lower
intention, and exposes its effort to connect with
the abstract mental perspective (Pluto).
- Inwardly it works with Pluto and represents the drawing
together of abstract thought forms in order to develop
the intuitive mind as a means to address karmic
patterns buried in the individual
intention (Mercury).
The 2nd of the paired rows groups the Venus
line (the 2nd row of the 7x7 matrix) with the Mars line (the
3rd row of the 7x7 matrix). This group relates
to the interaction of individuals in the realm of emotion,
represented as the division of male and female. This
ring exposes consciousness through the interaction of Venus
and Mars as it connects the individual
desire for love (Venus) with the individual
will to choose love (Mars) as exposed by Ego.
- Venus Line
- Outwardly it works with Venus and represents the drive
of the individual
desire for love as the Ego exposes the individual
will to choose love through its active channel (Mars).
- Inwardly it works with Mars and represents the process
whereby the individual
will is transformed by Ego as it aligns with its individual
desire for love (Venus).
- Mars Line
- Outwardly it works with Mars and represents the active
expression of the love force as exposed by Ego driven
by the individual
desire for love present in the
moment.
- Inwardly it works with Venus and represents the effort
of the Ego to listen for love in new ways as a way to
adjust the individual
desire for love, by identifying with the individual
will present in the Patterned Ego expression (Mars).
The 3rd of the paired rows groups the Jupiter
line (the 4th row of the 7x7 matrix) with the Saturn line
(the 5th row of the 7x7 matrix). This group represents
identification with the physical
self as a social being, and relates to the concept of
service (activity) in relation to self, and other-self.
It represents the unfoldment of consciousness through the
interaction of Jupiter and Saturn as it connects the desire
to unify the interactions of social groups (Jupiter) with
the individual effort required to perform its social role
properly (Saturn).
- Jupiter Line
- Outwardly it works with Jupiter and represents the effort
of Ego to create social unions through which the individual
karmic plan (Saturn) can play out.
- Inwardly it works with Saturn and represents the effort
of the Ego to distill individual opportunity from already
crystallized 3D reality in order to better recognize the
social unions (Jupiter).
- Saturn Line
- Outwardly it works with Saturn and represents the crystallization
of structure based on karmic opportunity within which
the incarnating Soul creates its kingdom (Jupiter) as
it operates through society.
- Inwardly it works with Jupiter and represents the identification
with character traits as seen through social interactions,
as a means of reorganizing patterned karmic expressions
(Saturn).
The 4th of the paired rows groups the Uranus
line (the 6th row of the 7x7 matrix) with the Neptune line
(the 7th row of the 7x7 matrix). This group represents
the outer and inner bounds of our individual consciousness,
the field within which all possibilities play out. This
group represents the connection that we have with the cosmos
due to the interaction of Uranus and Neptune, where Uranus
represents the spark of our own individuality as it is connected
through our karmic
history. Neptune represents the solution through
which our individuality can reconnect the shadow components
of self that have been released in our experience.
- Uranus Line
- Outwardly it works with Uranus and represents the effort
of the incarnating Soul to release karmic
patterns as it seeks to fulfill the prophesy (Neptune)
of its birth
request.
- Inwardly it works with Neptune and represents the effort
of the Ego to sift through the subconscious memory in
order to recognize new patterns of identification (Uranus)
present in the Karmic Pool.
- Neptune Line
- Outwardly it works with Neptune and represents the outer
bounds of our physical experience, essentially defining
the Space within which the
moment unveils the movement (evolution) of the incarnating
Soul (Uranus).
- Inwardly it works with Uranus and represents the inner
bounds of our physical experience, essentially the Spark
of Creator that represents the masculine balance to the
feminine Space provided by Neptune.
