Pope Francis is to make public the conclusions of
his two Synods on the family in a document eagerly awaited by 1.3 billion Roman
Catholics. It will detail the pope's views about family life, marriage,
contraception and bringing up children. Many hope it will open the way for the
church to offer communion to the divorced and civilly remarried, something
conservatives have resisted. The document is the culmination of three years'
work by the Pope. BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt says that
what is known as an Apostolic Exhortation is a wide-ranging document of more
than 200 pages entitled The Joy of Love.

The recent
Solar Eclipse and the Aries ingress of
the Sun are the important events that influence issues on earth for coming
period. Let us recall that the eclipse was conjunct the star Achernar linked to “high offices in the church” like
the Pope [1]. About the solar eclipse, Nick Fiorenza writes:
Solar eclipses
offer opportunity to redefine concepts of self and the roles we play in the
world, or how we articulate ourselves in life. They are about shifting octaves
in the nature of our self-perception and self-expression, and addressing issues
that keep us from doing so. They can invite a new beginning, way of life, or
new way of participating in life.
This South Node
Solar Eclipse T-Square (Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune), and this lunar cycle, creates
a powerful force to let go of constructs in our lives that no longer provide
room for growth, movement and expansion. In other words, we have grown as far
as the limits imposed by those constructs have permitted. It is now time to
either begin to change those constructs so they can allow a greater level of
growth, expansion and fulfillment, or to dismantle those constructs all
together. This Eclipse T-Square brings this to a crisis point, which becomes a
strong undercurrent for the next six months.
Coincidentally,
the Aries Ingress chart at the Vatican carries the Eclipse T-square along with
Venus – the planet of love and relationships – on the angles. This is
essentially telling us that it is time to change those constructs in our lives
that no longer provide room for growth, movement and expansion in the area of
love and marriage. With Saturn in Sagittarius – the sign that rules religion –
on the MC as the apex of the T-square it should not be surprising that the Pope
has taken the lead in this matter.
