Astrological Winds for Week of 3/7/11

There is a huge shift of energy this week, although we have been seeing the effects of it already, in particular last Spring, and since late December. Uranus is ingressing into Aries until March 7, 2019. Uranus is the planet of revolution: fast moving events that can suddenly change the world/our reality. Last Spring, Uranus visited Aries for a couple months before retrograding back to Pisces. It was during this time that the Tea Party movement became a major factor in the re-shaping of current American politics. I will be giving a free lecture for 30-45 minutes on the effects of Uranus into Aries on the mundane (world) scene this Friday night at the Bio-Touch Center at 5634 E. Pima St at 7:30, which will have more detail then this post. All are welcome and I encourage you to come. The 2nd part of the lecture will be led by my good friend and professional astrologer, Caryl Marie Brendle, on its effect on our personal lives, with an open discussion afterwards.

Back to this shift: we have been watching the Arab countries of North Africa and the Middle East revolutions since late December when a single man in Tunisia set himself on fire (Aries is a fire sign and Uranus, in the individual, is the rebel in us) starting a long chain of events that continue to spread like fire across the region. We are also seeing revolutionary movements here in the US and across other parts of the world mainly over uneven distribution of wealth and resources: welcome to the next 8+ years at least! Expect to see many individual acts like this that will spread like a wildfire of inspration to others to become revolutionary warriors. Earth is reaching a highly volatile time in humanity's history and the events in store for the next decade or so will re-shape the political landscape in ways that will be quite shocking. I will get in more detail on Friday, as this could be a magazine article in length by itself. One caveat: the Right will be in revolution just as much as or more than the Left during these times, so I would urge anyone who wants their voice added to a cause to make it heard now, irregardless of what side of the poilitical spectrum you fall on. Indeed, the time are always changing, but it's about to accelerate big time: my analogy - the top of the roller coaster ride and we're about to go down the highest point at full speed! That feeling in your gut is right on - hold on tight, as our lives are about to all get much more interesting Collectively and personally!

Mercury, the winged messenger, adds to the flames of Uranus in Aries this week, as it ingresses into Aries itself on Wednesday right after conjuncting Uranus! There will be much talk/planning/information being disseminated about what steps to take next to further revolutionary ideas whether in our own personal lives or in the world at large. Nervous systems will be pulled super tight and scatttered out this week and could easily snap into a barrage of raging words and ideas. It will be very difficult to continue to deal with the status quo on any level and tempers may flare. This is a great energy signature for innovative ideas, technological brainstorms/breakthroughs, individual flashes of brilliance, intuitive insights It will be very difficult to keep up with the pace of events this week as things will be flying off the handle left and right in our worlds. Details will likely be ignored and raise their consequences later. Havoc/dis-order/speedy changes that need to be adjusted to on the fly will be the order of the week. Be careful too, as this energy is very accident prone.

On Thursday, there's a bit of a respite, as Venus sextiles Jupiter: the two most beneficial planets getting together usually can bring good luck/breaks/fortunes, but many times people will be passive and be OK with just maintaining status quo during this transit. If any opportunities come your way this day, seize the moment, as the results are likely to be good. Most likely however, this will bring a lighthearted congenial break, to an otherwise intense week. Great day for social events/investments/R&R.

Sunday, Mercury speeds into a square with Pluto, where we will get a chance to reflect deeply on all that has occurred this week. This is a good day to do investigative/R&D type work, or to dive deeply within your own psyche and rise to the challenge of breaking from past sub-concious influences to find some deeper purpose/meaning to your life - like where you truly fit in in these quickly changing times. However, it is easy to get obsessed with some idea or something or someone in unhealthy ways like mental stalking,so to speak. You may be too forceful and narrow-minded in trying to persuade others of your viewpoint. It's better to use this energy on yourself, than trying to convince others.

An intense week for sure: try to remember the dominant energy and slow down a bit before jumping in.
