Lots of examples of Mars square to Uranus and opposite Pluto
last week, as individual acts of rebellion are leading to tough decisions and
sparring sides:
-another document Snowden released to the Guardian shows
that the NSA could tap into the body of any e mail almost anyone has sent in
the world.
-Russia granting asylum to Snowden despite the US’s protests
after the Bradley Manning convictions and Snowden’s father travelling to Russia
to ask for asylum for his son and using Manning as an example of how Snowden
would be treated by the US once he was back in the government’s hands.
-the city of Richmond, CA using eminent domain to reclaim
underwater houses from banks who refuse to give the previous owners better
mortgage terms - now other cities are
starting to consider the same legal maneuver.
-USA and Canada being told by the Latin American country leaders
that they are not needed for anything by them including trade.
-immigration protests around the US in support of the Dream
Act 9.
-announcement by the Justice Department that it was going
after Texas and any other state under Resolution 3 of the Voting Act that is trying
to limit voting rights with new strict laws by having a Federal takeover of
voting in those states doing so.
Monday is relatively quiet although the Moon goes into Leo, but
as it’s squared by Saturn, its normal boisterousness may be held somewhat in
check. There’s also two significant asteroid aspects: Jupiter conjunct Pallas
Athene and Sun conjunct Vesta. Jupiter/Pallas should broaden ideas on big
social problems/challenges. The problem will be in getting too one-sided and
protective of what we see because of our philosophy/values/beliefs. Sun/Vesta
can bring a dedication in our lives to an ideal, and a focus on the group
relationship to self, rather than individual relationships to self.
Tuesday is a New Moon at 14-15* Leo. This is a time when we
are being called upon to ignite the world around us with the unique gifts/talents
that we were born with, and to realize each person plays an equally important part
in the dance of life. If we allow our gifts to remain unused out of self-consciousness,
then we have defeated ourselves and the world around us will fall into decay.
We will all want some attention in some way and our willing to “display our
wares” in order to get it. This New Moon trines Uranus, so there will be an
extra push to be unique, extra-ordinary, try something new. We can discover
something new and exciting about ourselves now. Look to the house in your natal
chart that this New Moon falls into to see what area of life is ready for a new
spark. Any aspects it makes to other planets/points in your chart will also
flavor this New Moon’s energy for you.
Mercury sesiquadrate Chiron may make it hard to learn our
lessons today, even if we are willing to. Pluto opposite Pallas Athene can
bring obsessive ideas and behavior by self and/or others, and can also bring
power struggles surrounding creativity or even sexuality.
Wednesday begins the biggest aspect of the month getting
tight as Jupiter in Cancer opposes Pluto and locks into a Cardinal T-Square all
month with Uranus. Obviously, this will keep the Uranus/Pluto square energy
extra potent all month and it can act in different ways. Jupiter in Cancer is
exalted and strong, and Jupiter is also the greater beneficent planet, so this
can also be quite helpful in using the powerful Uranus/Pluto energy to the way
we approach helping others on a large social scale. However, the negative side
of Cancer is being over protective of those and what we love, overly
nationalistic about our homeland, manipulation of others for the benefit of
self, and selfishness about resources. This also indicates strong political
battles in the mundane world, so the continued divisiveness in US politics and
other nations as well will continue at an increased rate most likely. Some can
get quite abusive in their use of power under this influence, as the desire to
get ahead can be obsessive. Religious fanaticism can also flame up strongly.
Watch for getting into power trips yourself in your own life.
Mercury ingresses into Leo on Thursday finally leaving the
waters of Cancer after an extra long stay there due to retrograde motion. We
can very egotistical about our ideas and communicating them under this
influence – stubbornness, foolish pride, self-righteousness, arrogance – may come
out of our mouths. We have a need to be right, so to speak. This is good for
leading others in making some big plans and putting lots of effort into fixing
intellectual problems. You can get really inspired/fired up about your own
creative ideas! Venus semi-square Saturn can bring some frustrating blockages
in relationships. People may be conservative/reserved with each other and
unable to get what they want from each other. We can feel isolated even in the
midst of others. You can also be victimized by authorities/superiors also. Best
to get some down time alone if you’re feeling this way.
Friday is pretty mellow although a mid-afternoon Moon/Venus
conjunction can get us ready for a fun, social weekend.
Saturday is pretty quiet too with a Mercury/Neptune quincunx
being the biggest aspect of the day. This can bring unclear or confusing
communications. You may choose to spend this day living in your own mind’s
fantasy. This can also make us very sensitive to others/our environment and we
may need to separate ourselves/take a break from them. You may lose confidence
in your own thinking process somehow too.
Sunday can be intense due to all that’s going on around us
as the Moon in Libra locks into a Cardinal Grand Cross with Pluto, Uranus, and
Jupiter/Mars. It will be difficult to balance everything demanding your
attention today and the best choice is just to focus on one thing/issue. Mercury
square Saturn can get us very conservative intellectually. It will be hard to
communicate with others and feel satisfied. Delays in plans may occur. You could
get depressed/dwell on negative thoughts. It’s best to use this energy to work
on detailed work that requires a critical mind. Mars sesiquadrate Neptune can
sap our physical energy, and combined with Mercury/Saturn our mental energy
too, as we can easily sink into feelings of hopelessness and victimization. It
will be easy to be discouraged/down now. If we try to get around this day
dishonestly, we may easily be flushed out by others and only compound our
problems, which can be even more demoralizing. It would be best to spend most
of this day alone relaxing as best you can.
Next week we are in the middle of Jupiter/Pluto/Uranus, but
Venus will enter Libra, a sign the Goddess enjoys immensely!
