Astrological Winds for Week of 1-28-13


This week is relatively mild astrologically, but there are a few significant events on the same two days, Wednesday and Friday.

 

Monday is a continuation of last week’s dominant energy (see last week’s blog) with Uranus perfecting its conjunction with Pallas Athene. Those who wish to rebel/revolt together out of principle, the call now is very strong. This is a time when your thinking/ideas: can be changed rapidly, become more radical/freeing, be clarified by intuition, can be joined with others who share similar views, will fight for basic rights for all. It is possible to go overboard with anger and rebellious behavior over our principles under this energy also.

 

Another lighter day Tuesday does have a Sun trine Vesta, which will make it easy to come together with others who share the same ritualistic types of behavior as you. You will find comfort in each other’s company. You are willing to commit to ideals on deeper/sacred levels. Open-mindedness about sexuality is aided.

 

Wednesday the weather gets a bit heavier: stationary Jupiter turns direct in Gemini at 6* and will now speed to Cancer within five months at end of June. Ideas that we’ve been sitting on or that were slowed down or delayed will now take leaps forward. New insights we’ve had recently will be allowed to be integrated into our value systems/philosophies. Connections with others should have expansive effects. Things are not what they initially seem to be with Jupiter in Gemini, so be aware of your ideas becoming over-inflated and tying you up with lots of required commitments later.

The Sun is also square Saturn today, which can put a damper on many things. It’s easy to get pessimistic, see the dark side, feel tied down or restricted in some way likely because of duties/work/care of others/resources. It’s hard to be yourself/shine today as circumstances/others, especially with those in authority over you can, come down hard on you. This may be a tough/down day mentally and emotionally.

 

Thursday is our weekly hard aspects from the Moon (in Libra this time) to the Uranus/Pluto square day, this time with an opposition to Uranus in the morning having us rebel against the perceived selfish acts of others or making some ground breaking (with repercussions) decision that is independent in nature; and a square to Pluto in evening that may have us quite ornery/angry and best left to our own devices type mood.

 

Friday is the other significant day this week with two inner planet ingresses, both at night. First Mars ingresses into Pisces, a sign the Warrior is not most comfortable in because of its watery, elusive to tie down energy. However, this can enflame those with a religious/fundamentalist agenda to go on the attack/offensive, so we’ll hear much rhetoric during this period (next six weeks). On personal levels, this can dissipate our normal energy and drive, so we may find ourselves more tired than usual or lacking in our normal degree of confidence. This is helpful for taking charitable/compassionate actions. About one hour later Venus ingresses into Aquarius furthering the push to connect/relate to others who share similar ideals that are humanitarian in nature. The use of technology/science is another area where you can connect with others easily now. Important relationships are more platonic in nature during this period (month of February). However, this can indicate the beginnings of unusual new relationships.

 

Saturday has five lunar aspects, all positive except a late night Moon/Saturn conjunction, so just get to bed early to skate around it (except for maybe in your dreams). There is a Mercury/Pluto semi-square also which can give us an obsessed mind that is frustrated in an inability to get what it’s obsessing with at this time.

 

Sunday’s only notable event is a 3rd Quarter Square of Moon in Scorpio to Sun in Aquarius: there may be some deep emotional issues/challenges that come up between you and groups. There may be power struggles, resources issues, sexual issues, jealousy/envy. It will be a struggle to maintain ideals when deep emotions like this are triggered – that will be the challenge/crisis to overcome – by doing so relationships can be deepened /transformed/cleared.

 

Next week all three inner planets are active with aspects to outers and there’s a New Moon at 21* Aquarius.
