There's not alot going on astrologically this week, but there are two big events. The first is on Monday when Mars squares Pluto exact and moves into orb with an opposition to Saturn retrograde at the same time forming a volatile cardinal t-square with these three malefic planets. Mars and Pluto together is highly explosive rage and possibly quite violent. On the world stage, we have been witnessing an increase in violent responses in the Middle East and North Africa to the revolutions that have been going on throughout 2011 so far in the past week. This is the influence of Mars/Pluto tightening up and the resulting crisis over power struggles. Those in power (Pluto) realize now the extent of the crisis they are in and are using the military/weapons/police (Mars) to retaliate against those who challenge their power. Things could get ugly this week in these countries, and possibly other places in the world too. On a personal level, this is not a week to take any foolish risks/chances and expose yourself to possibly violent/criminal people/places/actions, as there's much more likely a chance of tragic results. The best way to use this energy is to focus it onto some project that is very important to you personally and one that you don't need the cooperation of others to push it forward: it's a "roll up the sleeves and dive deep into it" type of energy. Still, you should not expect the rest of the world to go along with it, but rather expect resistance that can enflame anger inside you and may cause you to lash out others. It's best to try and control the anger and use it to endure/try even harder. Also on Monday, retrograde Mercury backs up into another conjunction with Jupiter. Likely you've had a dose of expansion since last week's New Moon. This has likely filled your head with lots of big ideas. This is a good day to honestly assess them from the inside out and get a deeper understanding of their possible consequences. Have you aimed too high/overshot the mark/overlooked details? This is a good day to contemplate and correct, or the mistakes could end up ballooning into something much bigger than you ever expected. Still, this can give us a more open and tolerant viewpoint and allow new knowledge to flow in.
The other big event of the week is not until next Sunday when we have a Full Moon in Libra: another Super Full Moon as the Moon is near perigee (closest to Earth it gets), which normally has greater effects on the tides, earth tectonic movements, and the sea of our personal emotions. The Libra Full Moon always pits what we need to do to please ourselves and live our own life satisfactorily versus what our duties are to others, especially in our close relationships and partnerships. This Full Moon is asking us to honestly assess how we've disappointed others with our actions and to take responsibility for these missteps and to realize we can never satisfy everyone 100% and still not get angry at ourselves for giving in too much - to find the proper balance between pleasing self and pleasing others, where no one gets everything they want, but everyone is feeling respected and getting at least what they need from themselves and others, and to realize that we can't just go it alone - that we need community to share in our lives, triumphs, losses, etc. It asks us to balance the male/female polarity within each of us and to find a spiritual path to blaze in these times of material uncertainty. If you are in relationships that are imbalanced, then they will become even more so during this time. The need to find a way to compromise and still feel honestly OK with it is the lesson here.
Next week has much more dynamic energies going on - use this week to keep the inner work going to set up your future moves.
