As Mercury stationed direct last week an unprecedented step
in the European economic crisis took place: the government of Cyprus introduced
a bill to take about 10% of all existing deposits out of the bank and deposit
them into the country’s treasury to pay off the public debt the country owes
private banks. Naturally, there was a run on the banks that lasted all weekend
until every ATM was out of cash. When most of a citizenship’s money is actually
just electronic, there is no true tactile/individual control of it and
apparently the banks and the governments can and will deduct right from the
citizens’ accounts when they deem that necessary! How fitting that this
retrograde is in Pisces during this run: the idealism of capitalism just does
not add up in long run – the theory behind it is shady/deceptive/illusory at
best and now we are seeing the results during this whole Uranus/Pluto square
period.
This week starts with a Venus/Saturn sesiquadrate on Monday –
relationships may be frustrating/stuck/conservative in nature for the most part
today. We may be disappointed in others and really have no recourse for the
time being. This can have us feeling isolated/alone, especially within. Interactions
with others will be cool and sober and there may be some issues with older authorities/father
figures that block us somehow. It’s actually best to spend this day alone if
possible.
Tuesday’s biggest event is a 1st Quarter Square
of the Moon in Gemini to the Sun in Pisces at 29* - this, like the shift of
Mars and now the Sun and Venus to Aries, is the push to get us out of the
Piscean energy we’ve been in – to start using some of this information we’ve
downloaded into our conscious and to connect with others and share
insights/knowledge – to not be so stuck in our own ways to overlook weaknesses
and other points of view or to just continue and escape.
Wednesday is the Spring Equinox as the Sun ingresses into Aries
and urges us to become the Warrior somehow – to protect our own survival and
that of our clan (humanity) with strong and decisive actions that benefit
ourselves and all others. We must learn to face everyday life as an adventure,
not just certain peak moments that we relish but leave us empty when not doing
so. We must remind ourselves to not fall into overly selfish, vain, or aggressive
behaviors, but to use our strength and energy to protect those and what we
love. There is an exact Saturn/Ceres sesiquadrate on the Equinox, which is
worrisome: it seems like issues with restricted food, crops, resources may be a
major theme this growing season in the Northern Hemisphere. Getting enough
food/nurturance may be difficult for many. Prices of food, etc may continue to
pinch more and more of our budgets. The Equinox chart also has a Cardinal
square going among the Uranus/Pluto square (with Mars conjunct Uranus also!)
and the Moon in Cancer. Set for Washington, DC the Moon is in 4th
and Mars/Uranus in 1st and Pluto in 10th – all angular
houses, so thus very potent energy. The Moon in Cancer in the 4th shows that
the people and homeland is what will be under stress. Mars/Uranus in the 1st
shows the potential for explosive revolution, changes, disasters, catastrophes,
surprises, etc. Pluto in the 10th house shows the Executive branch
of the government making power plays on the country/people/homeland. We could
be in for some very decisive/heated times in the next few months politically
and socially. Fortunately, the Moon is also in a Grand Trine with
Mercury/Neptune/Chiron in the 123th in Pisces and Saturn in the 8th
in Scorpio – it maybe a time of endings for the power of certain authorities over
the people who want something more idealistic and all-encompassing behind the driver’s
wheel of governance. These next few months are a potentially very stormy point
astrologically – there are many things waiting to burst forth to bring on inevitable
change on the world front that will affect us all. Focusing on the energy of
this Water Grand Trine will help salve some of these wounds – bringing healing
and higher consciousness to our minds and emotions so that we can make deep
changes in power structures that are transformative and permanent.
Thursday’s exact Saturn/Chiron trine can assist in the above
changes by bringing stable self-discovery that can be woven into our everyday
reality so that we can really live the change we want the world to become. Venus
also scampers into Aries today which can makes us assertive/aggressive/strong/independent
in the sharing of our love and affection (perhaps too much so). We may be
domineering in certain relationships and thus create some battles with others.
It is easier to be ourselves now and not give a damn what others think!
Friday is the exact Mars/Uranus conjunction in Aries
(kaboom!): on a mundane level do not be surprised if there are major acts of
individual violence and revolt/revolution or natural disasters in the world. On
individual levels, people will be very excited/jacked, but also very independent/aggressive/shocking/explosive/selfish/subjective/brash.
Accidents are quite possible from rash behavior/decisions. You can be quite
innovative/ingenious with this energy in finding new ways to break free of
limitations.
Saturday is a quincunx between Jupiter and Saturn leading
the way: it may hard to relax with this transit as something seems amiss in
your plans but you can’t quite get a finger on what it is. It is difficult to
decide whether to move forward or retreat on certain projects/fronts. This is
also an aspect that can have us squander our resources and have us feel
helpless to stop it. We may also get indecisive about what our most important
objectives are in life. All of this brings a great sense of
restlessness/uneasiness that is difficult to let go/adjust to/separate from.
Sunday is a pretty quiet day with a Moon/Neptune opposition
making it a lazy/passive/contemplative/romantic type day.
Next week Mars stays locked up in the T-square with
Uranus/Pluto and Venus and the Sun joins in – a potentially explosive week.
