Get ready for an intense week ahead. In the mundane world,
the USA and president Obama may see some serious repercussions for decisions
they’ve made, which may result in loss of power, power struggles, etc. – this is
likely connected to the revelations of Snowden’s leaks (note this morning that
some of the USA’s allies in Europe on finding out the USA have been spying on
them say it is cold war tactics and that the USA deserve sanctions started
against it in retaliation – this could potentially really blow up in USA’s
face). Astrologically, this ties into a long cycle the US began about 5 years
ago when the USA’s progressed Mars went retrograde for first time in its
history – a period of 80+ years that normally see countries lose respect/power
from other countries and the military/government turns its guns on its own
citizenry. Also remember from my blog 2 weeks back on the Solstice Chart set for
Washington, DC being an indicator of next 3 months for US events: “Saturn retrograde in the 7th
house indicates restrictions and loss of power in the faces of allies.” In
Scorpio, secrets based around power have been revealed and the USA has been told
to take responsibility for its actions as a result from angry, betrayed
partners/allies. What happens this
week is this energy is majorly triggered by the Sun in Cancer locking into a Cardinal
T-Square with the Uranus/Pluto square -
this promises immense power struggles in the world this week – the Sun
in Cancer can indicate the people demanding care from their leaders much like
we are seeing in Brazil, Chile, Egypt, Turkey, China, etc. Leaders will be in
particular trouble and violent acts against some of them are likely.
On Monday the Sun/Pluto opposition is exact, and we can find
ourselves in a power struggle with an authority or partner or another person.
This combines with Venus squaring Saturn this day too and can really put a
damper on relationships. Our interactions with others will likely take on
intense qualities and we can get quite self-protective/conservative with our approach/heavy-handed
or controlling with others. There is much fear coming up and most people will
try to control others and environments as an ego survival strategy.
Relationships on shaky ground will likely suffer major breakdowns, as will any
neglected mechanical issues with objects. Sun/Pluto can make people quite
ambitious but the danger is rolling right over others and creating opposition
to your plans. It can be a time of great change/transformation when handled
well. This is a day to control your own angry tendencies and to avoid
potentially violent people or places. Venus/Saturn will add to this energy by
likely having us retreat from others rather than share what we are feeling,
thus setting up a conservative approach socially. We may realize how alone we
are ultimately. This can be depressing to many. It is very easy to be
victimized by others today, so it may be best to be alone as much as possible.
Venus quincunx Neptune also can fill us with much spiritual doubt and a sense
of hopelessness about others and where they are at. Basically, our vision/view
of others may prove to not be true/realistic, and this can be a letdown. This
will add to the conservative approach to others that Venus/Saturn brings in,
for it will be hard to trust others today. This is a day when we need emotional
support but it will likely not be available. Feelings of unworthiness may
surface, and you may settle for less challenging relationships with those who
are not on the same level of consciousness as you just to get some kind of
connection today.
Tuesday early/overnight the Moon in Taurus locks into a
fixed T-Square with the above mentioned Venus/Saturn square making this a day
that continues the restricted/conservative energy surrounding relationships of
Monday.
Wednesday the Sun perfects its square to Uranus (see above)
which can have people acting out in surprising actions of rebellion that can
bring up crisis situations. It’s as if the restricted energy of the past two
days has built up to a point of unbearableness and people will risk striking
out against anyone or anything they perceive to be blocking them. Normal routines
will likely be disrupted be breakdowns/accidents/unexpected events. This energy
is best used by choosing to do something different as long as it’s not too
risky. Saturn’s second exact hit of its square to Ceres is today too, so we may
get more bad news about crops, agriculture, food prices, resource shortages, water
issues, etc. this week. On personal levels, some of us may experience this as
blockages/restrictions to resources created by our own family/parents/loved
ones or being weighed down by our duties to them.
Thursday, the 4th of July holiday in the USA, is
relatively quiet and is dominated by Neptunian energy with a Moon (in Gemini)/Neptune
square showing many will choose to escape normal life on this holiday by
inebriating themselves. Neptune is also quincunx Ceres, which is similar to the
Venus/Neptune quincunx energy mentioned above under Monday: disappointment with
loved ones or our resource situation may lead us to escape reality somehow or
another – make sure there’s a designated river available today! A positive way
to spend this day would be a quiet hike or meditation.
Friday has four minor aspects that may not be profound, but
will influence us nevertheless. The Sun trines Chiron which allows us to use
our talents/abilities somehow to help heal ourselves and/or others. Venus
semi-square Mars can spice up our social lives as we head into the weekend. Romantic/sexual
interests/energies may peak, and creative energy is high. This may bring up
some arguments/fights with your partner or friends. Mercury retrograde
sesiquadrate Neptune can make communications fuzzy and frustrating with others
today – make sure you really are understood, or better yet wait for another day
to communicate anything important. The mind may wander much today into lands of
fantasy/unrealistic idealism. This can also have us misjudge others and when
they let us down get disappointed with them (seems to be a theme this week as
this is the 3rd indicator of that type of energy – the “Rule of 3”
almost guarantees we will experience this from someone this week in some form
or another). Venus quincunx Pluto can definitely kill fading/shaky
relationships for good. This can also make it difficult to get along with
certain others and it may be best to just avoid those you can’t see eye to eye
with. People can also get quite possessive of those they are close to or
jealous of others under this energy too.
The Moon conjuncts Mars (in morning) and Jupiter (in
evening) on Saturday making it a very active and expansive day somehow – there will
be lots of optimistic energy to tap into. Vesta ingresses into Leo today too
bringing a period of jacked up individualistic creative energy and the infusion
of pride into what you are doing/working on. However, certain others may not be
able to keep up with the pace of this energy and become resistant to it or
burnt out by it. Watch for being too prideful of your work/project and turning
others off. Romance may come from those you make an impression upon with what
you are doing these days.
Sunday adds one more super full day of astrology to a very
dense and challenging week. The Moon in Cancer forms two Grand Aspect patterns:
first a Grand Trine with Saturn and Neptune – I’ll just requote myself on tis
from last week when the Sun did the same thing - “Saturn and Neptune have been in a trine since last September
when Saturn first entered Scorpio. This trine will be getting an exact hit
later this month on June 12th, so it is very tight at this time
period. This aspect is working on the Collective level to help us learn from
our mistakes and the resulting confusion and uncertainty that have been the
result of our choices – much of this has to do with an oil based economy/energy/civilization
(Neptune). The trine helps us to see how we got to where we are and to start
realizing that spirituality and higher consciousness must be given greater
value in order to resolve the problems of today. People are able to subordinate
much of their own ego under this energy and work for more altruistic goals
willingly. People gain energy and relief through service to others/each
other/the Collective. Ideals and reality are able to merge easier now, yet
there is a grounded approach that does not allow us to get too high and
excited, but more reflective/contemplative. We may also become aware of
resources that have been hidden from us prior to now.” This makes it a great day to work with this energy
and to get the help of others while doing so. Second is another T-Square
with Pluto/Uranus triggering the same energy from above on Monday, which I won’t
requite here, as you can just look above at Monday’s listing. Two more events
on Sunday top off our week: first Venus trine Uranus piquing our curiosity in
hanging out with a different crowd/person than our norm, or having us attracted
to something we normally would not be to. This is a great day to do something
different and exciting. Second, Saturn stations direct at about 5* Scorpio and
will start moving forward again for the rest of 2013 – a time to take external responsibility/control
of our own life.
What a heavy week and Mercury still retrograde too! Next
week is much mellower with a New Moon in Cancer and Mars ingressing into
Cancer.
