The Lights and Planets
awareness of separation (or duality) occurs, which also
fosters an appreciation of reunion.
EARTH: The Earth completes its orbit of the Sun in one
year, and we all know that this is usually when a baby
steps out into the world on his or her own two feet.
MARS: Mars completes its orbit of the Sun in a little less
than two years, and any parent reading this is quite
familiar with what has been nicknamed the "Terrible
Twos"—when a child discovers emotions and struggles
for independence.
JUPITER: Between Mars and the next planetary orbit is,
relatively, the vastest change—when measured by the
space between any two planets. Mars makes six
revolutions before Jupiter completes one, at around
twelve years of age. In between these two planets is the
great asteroid belt, filled with countless particles. The six
year molar occurs as Jupiter reaches his half way mark
and opposes himself, but more important, at around
eight to nine years of age the child passes, quite rapidly,
from a rather eternal or expanded time concept to the
common adult perception of time's passage.
After the twelve-year molar, and Jupiter's return, the
child expands into adolescence and begins to pick up
on and monitor the next and most definitive of cycles:
that of Saturn. At Saturn's opposition (14-15 years)
puberty has set in; moving on, time (or Saturn)
continues to complete its cycle, which will be
accomplished at around thirty years, after which point
spiritual awakening, or the unsealing of the seals (or
chakras), proceeds at an accelerated rate.
