Astrological Winds for Week of 9/26/11

The first three days of the week all revolve around a New Moon in Libra on Tuesday with Mercury conjunct the Sun and Moon and this triple conjunction opposite Uranus and square Pluto! This is some potentially explosive energy in our lives. The Sun/Moon/Mercury conjunction in Libra will have us intellectualize/wax poetically on a mental level. There is a danger of being too innocent/ignorant of the effects of our words and giving too much power to the other/our audience. Opening our mouths can expose vulnerabilities that others could take advantage of even if we have good intentions. Dialogue over issues in our lives and our world can compel us to make some shocking decisions and to broadcast them out to the world. There's a good chance we can sink deeply into an entrenched/narrow viewpoint and to not hear or allow others perspectives to influence our decisions, and set up a power struggle/clash of ideas/war of words. The Libra energy naturally seeks compromise and equality but sometimes will sacrifice it to maintain harmony due to being so uncomfortable when "at war." However, Uranus/Pluto may override this tendency this time around. Indeed, this is a time when what is out of balance in our lives and our world will be magnified, that certain hidden truths may rise to the surface, and injustices/inequalities will no longer be deniable. With all the Libra/Cardinal energy, it is high time to hammer out an agreement, but these negotiations will not be easy. This is a time when we must come with radical new ideas in order to tranform our lives/world. Survival of both self and humanity hinges on our abilities and willingness to do so. On a mundane level, I do not see this as a good sign of the two major parties working together to resolve any economic/budget issues, as they are likely to take the low road energy maifestation of the above: entrenched positions, no listening/compromise, power struggles. Monday has two bumpy quincunxs that help usher in the battle awaiting: Mars quincunx Pluto can bring a great restlessness/uneasiness that is very difficult to put a finger on its source. It can cause many of us to overreact in potentially violent or self-injuring ways. There will be alot of energy accessible and running until you drop is a possibility. Mercury quincunx Chiron reminds us of the power of our words and how they can wound others (or vice versa). It would be much better to use them to heal.

Mars will sextile Sun/Mercury on Thursday allowing the above energy to continue boiling on high heat for another day, however opportunities may arise to get into some open, though heated dialogue. This is also a great day to tackle mental work/paperwork/etc. Venus conjunct Saturn the same day shows that the last few days will sober us up to the realities of our existing relationships and we will be able to assess them in an objective/detached way. It may be time for some good-byes at this point. Practicality should rule this day.

Things quiet down a bit on Friday and Saturday with just the Sun/Mercury quincunx Jupiter. This will have us re-assessing our attitudes, value systems, philosophies, etc. and perhaps refining them after this stormy period.

Sunday, Mars square Jupiter is a big jump of energy - a great day to get out and be active, do something physical, sports/athletic participation, etc. - otherwise it may be hard to sit still, and you could put yourself in danger of causing an accident by trying to bottle up too much energy. This can also give you some uncontrollable urges, so do something constructive with it, but stay measured and aware, so you don't drive right into a wall/over a cliff.

There is much energy available this week to spark some major changes in our lives/the world: go for it, but maintain vigilance of self, others, and environment to navigate these choppy waters successfully.
