Monday has no major transits although the Moon in Sagittarius squares Mars in mid-afternoon keeping our energy high, but our emotions likely agitated into the evening.
Tuesday is the big day of astrological weather this week with a Full Moon at 12* Capricorn conjunct Pluto and square Uranus, while both Mercury and Venus quincunx Pluto forming a yod, or Finger of God/Hand of Fate, and Mars ingressing into the sign of his detriment, Libra, and thus also going into orb to a square to Pluto and opposition to Uranus, forming another volatile Cardinal T-square with Uranus/Pluto. This is very similar to the energy of last week or so when inner planets (Sun and Mercury last) trigger the ongoing Uranus/Pluto square deeply stirring up its archetypal energies. Last week, during the exact square and the aspects of the Sun we had record breaking heat (Uranus in a fire sign) over the continental USA (Pluto in earth sign); record breaking numbers for the percentage of USA in drought conditions (72%); power outages/blackouts (Uranus rules electricity, Pluto rules the dark) affecting millions due to sudden electrical thunderstorms with windbursts (Uranus rules electrical storms); wildfires torching the western US (fire on earth) and invading neighborhoods/structures of civilization (Uranus/Pluto/Sun); a surprising break from the conservative majority of the US Supreme Court by one loan Justice to rule in favor of “Obamacare” (Uranus in Aries acting out as the rogue against the hierarchal system or Pluto in Capricorn); and a surprising decision by the Eurozone to act in new, more liberal financial ways to get an agreement to keep their alliance together economically. These are only some of the mundane events that took on the flavor of the Uranus/Pluto square being acutely triggered last week. What will happen this week with all of this energy coming to an apex Tuesday? The Full Moon is in detriment in Capricorn – a time when the emotions can be cooled/limited and calculating in desire to maintain power and control and order with the ways that have worked before – in a word, detached, really. Meanwhile, the Sun in Cancer’s desire is for safety and nurturing, which can also bring up issues of control too, thus we get a power struggle within ourselves and with others over nurturing/control/emotional manipulation (especially conjunct Pluto also)/jealousy & envy. This is a time best used to look within at our own issues with power and survival. Moon/Uranus can help us take on the challenge, and Mercury’s sextile to Venus both quincunx Pluto shows the blending of mind and emotion can lead to completely new ways of seeing things that allow in the possibility of adjustments made in order for transformation. This will be a bumpy road, no doubt. Mars ingress to Libra and into orb with Uranus/Pluto is potentially explosive in many ways over the next few weeks, however Mars’ normal high energy in Libra is softened or eroded and the Warrior is more likely to lay down the shield and listen to negotiation/diplomacy as an option at this time. This is a good time to work in cooperative partnerships, see both sides of the story before acting, act out for justice, etc. I will blog more on this T-square as it gets closer to exact.
The Mercury/Venus sextile hits Uranus in easier ways on Wednesday as Mercury trines and Venus sextiles it. Mercury/Uranus can give us strokes of genius as it blends the higher inspirational/inventive mind with the lower detailed/reality mind. It is likely some new type of information/knowledge will inspire your mind/wake you up. Favorable for study, especially of sciences/technology/math, travel to new destinations, and conversations with unusual people/a different crowd. Venus/Uranus aids in our desire to widen our connections with others beyond our normal range. This is favorable for social events also, which is perfect for 4th of July.
Thursday has Mercury quincunx Chiron – with Moon in Aquarius too and aspecting Venus/Uranus well – this is a good day to fine tune our attitudes based on what we’ve gone through these past few days. It’s also a good time to adjust our ideas and ways of communicating.
Friday is a quiet day astrologically.
Saturday’s biggest event is Venus square Chiron. Relationships that are on shaky ground can be very challenging today to the point with some where “good-bye” is preferable. At the very least we will be more sensitive socially and to how others react to us or what they say to us. It’s easy to hurt others/or get hurt by others. Moon/Neptune conjunction and Moon/Venus square can contribute to this too. Confusion may reign in relationships this day.
Mars quincunx Neptune on Sunday will diffuse physical energy, but inspire artistic endeavors – a nice, lazy Sunday-type aspect. Be careful of giving in too easily, or being deceptive with your actions, or feeling overly discouraged by something, or if you have to work, physically overexerting yourself. A good day for soft exercise like yoga, tai chi, etc. (or sleeping in).
Next week, both Mercury and Uranus go retrograde – now that could be mind bending! Stay tuned.
