The Cardinal Grand Cross currently active in the heavens and
that I mentioned last week indeed has the events of the world seeming to be
spiraling to breaking points and at a point of wondering what one is most
important to deal with. However, the Grand Cross indicates they could all be
linked to one and other and that by focusing on one, solutions for the others
will appear. A Grand Cross is four squares, so it is a material world crisis,
and if the foundations of that material world are built upon a problematic
system to begin with, it is bound to reach the point of multiple crisis’ going
on at once, as we have today, for the underlying reality is, it is all
connected – at least as symptoms of a dis-eased reality in this case. Witness
some of the issues of the world in the past week that all are in need of
immediate solutions: highly radioactive water bursting from storage containers
in Fukushima, Japan and bringing the nuclear crisis there back up to
threatening levels with no one with any clear answer as to what to do next;
Saudi Arabia, Israel, and France all going against the USA’s wishes and
continuing to give aid to the Egyptian military which has seized power back
from the Muslim Brotherhood (another example of USA’s progressed Mars going
retrograde and the continuing eroding of its influence in world politics); the
arrest of Badie, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood; police and firefighters
and city council members joining a solidarity sing in protest in Madison, WI
seeking justice for the poor and afflicted; and now the USA accusing Syria of
using chemical weapons and threatening to invade and start up the next in its
ongoing series of Mid-East wars (that will no doubt end in Iran someday) that
pushes the world closer to a third world war conflict every time it reaches a
crisis point. These are only some of the stories going on now, and I know from
talking to others, many of our personal lives are feeling torn apart by
multiple serious issues as well. These are trying times indeed – ones that have
us question all we base our current reality upon.
Everything I blogged about the Grand Cross last week is
highly active this week still: a peak started last Saturday when Venus was
exactly opposite Pluto, and on Monday Venus has its exact square to Uranus (and
also a quincunx to Chiron) which can really shake and break relationships: the
same old people moaning about the same old things will be the objects of our
rebellion (Saturn square Juno also). We want something new and excitingly
stimulating now! People can be quite flirtatious, disruptive, upsetting within
relationships. This is a day you should try to do something new or you will
rebel against loved ones. However a Sun/Neptune opposition today could
dissipate energy quite a bit and we may actually not feel like doing much
physically. This is also the energy of being deceived by others or being forced
to make decisions without much clarity to rely on while doing so. It may be
very difficult to trust others and their motivations today and you could end up
quite disappointed. Watch for being a victim or falling into a victim’s trap.
This can also make us very off in our judgment of others by being overly
idealistic or dishonest with ourselves. Overall, a confusing day where we could
lose faith in others and rebel against them in some way.
Tuesday the Grand Cross remains super potent also as Venus
makes the last exact aspect to the other three planets involved by squaring
Jupiter – normally this is an easy square that can make us overly indulgent/extravagant/lazy/over-budget,
but tied into Grand Cross it likely will make people more sensitive to others
and ruffle feelings, and continue to have us make some poor judgments.
Mercury’s sextile to Saturn will help us cut through some of the issues however,
as the mind can be sharp and wise under this influence and has the opportunity
to correct many mistakes. This is good for learning/teaching also. The mind can
have great focus on details with this energy. Mars ingresses into Leo today
also for the next seven weeks. This can get ego energy going strongly and
people could get overly prideful, arrogant, self-righteous. However it does
give much courage and confidence and can put you in leadership positions where
you really believe you have everyone’s best interests at heart and will fight
stubbornly to defend yourself and other’s interests. This is a time where you
can really get into being yourself/who you truly are, but you can get
emotionally disconnected somewhat because of the front you are putting up.
A 3rd Quarter Square of the Moon in Gemini to the
Sun in Virgo could make Wednesday a tense day, as the emotional need to connect
with others far and wide, and mainly superficially, goes up against the
self/will’s desire to get into things deeply and cut the fat/waste out, and be
more introverted as far as others are concerned. A Mercury/Pluto trine will tip
the scales in favor of the pragmatic/incisive approach – this is a great aspect
to use the mind to get into something deeply, research, depth work, occult
work, self-analysis leading to transformations, and intellectually stimulating
encounters. Your mind can get narrow/one-pointed however. Ceres ingresses into
Virgo today too which will have us give nurturance to others through service or
a skill, just be watchful of getting overly critical of loved ones and their
faults.
Mercury is opposite Chiron and quincunx Uranus on Thursday:
Mercury/Chiron urges us to see other’s points of view before making any
decisions, or could get us in a student/teacher relationship that helps soothe
the mind. Mercury/Uranus gives a jumpy mind that can get a bit nerve-wracked and
makes it hard to focus. You may come up with some good ideas but it may be able
to hard to hold onto them. Sun sextile Saturn will help stabilize the energy
and you will be able to get much work done, get/give advice, and do your duties
willingly and with a good attitude.
There’s a nice Grand Trine in Water on Friday among Moon in
Cancer, Saturn, and Neptune promising a nice flow to this day. Mercury sextile
Jupiter makes it a good day to make plans for the future as you see the Big
Picture well. The mind is clear and expansive and mental attitude is positive.
Good for biz deals and negotiations and travel. Also, the mind is quite
stimulated by ideas today that broaden understanding and make life interesting.
Saturday should be a sweet day with a Moon/Jupiter
conjunction, Moon/Venus square, and Moon/Mercury sextile – a day to have fun on/indulge
yourself/socialize/etc.
September starts on Sunday with a Sun/Pluto trine that can
give some powerful experiences that spur you on to want to change your life in
some way. Once again, this is good energy to look within with to help reform
yourself. You and others can have powerful influence on each other’s lives. This
is a day you can use your power to achieve much headway. Venus sesiquadrate
Neptune is a nice Sunday aspect to float away on just being
passive/lazy/relaxed/artistic. People may get a bit sensitive emotionally or
overly idealistic about others or situations. Weak relationships could fizzle
out.
After some very heavy astrological weather these past few
weeks, next week we should get a respite as a New Moon in Virgo is the biggest
event of the week.
