Monday the mind wants to probe and find something different to satisfy a deep need for transformation of the way we think/approach things under Mercury trine Pluto and sextile Chiron. There is an acute dissatisfaction today with the order and power structure that governs our lives brought on by Sun quincunx Saturn and sesiquadrate Pluto, as the probing of Mercury/Pluto can see to the bottom of things and it’s likely not a pretty picture – therefore an interest in finding solutions will be fed under Mercury/Chiron. These are also good aspects to deepen connections with others under, to learn about our own ways of thinking and psychology, to do any deep, analytical, research-like work under. Sun/Saturn/Pluto can definitely have us bumping heads with those in power or authority – the restlessness from austerity forced upon populations will be at very frustrated heights now, as the two sides are bound to become more entrenched/estranged. Obstacles and conflicts will require much deeper inner change in order to be overcome, may be the ultimate lesson of this day.
Tuesday Venus goes retrograde at 23* Gemini – the Goddess of Love will backtrack to 7* Gemini before turning direct on June 28th. This will be a time of re-assessing our relationships with people we associate with on local levels, siblings, neighbors, teachers, students, communication representatives, local businesses. Also, a time to re-assess how we relate to all the information we are bombarded with constantly in our modern world and how it affects our relationships and all the choices we have for entertainment. This may also be at time when we see more clearly how we keep people emotionally/intimately distant with our minds/intellect and perhaps even miss out on romance because of this, and how being too whimsical with others can lead to issues/trouble down the road. Mars, like Mercury above gets involved with Saturn and Pluto this week too first by semi-squaring Saturn today. This is basically having the actions we’d like to take blocked/slowed/frustrated and just having to accept that’s the way it is for now. We may be overburdened by duties that we have to meet which may have us feeling much resentment inside. This is best just to use by chipping away at things so at least you’re using some of the energy and realizing they are going to go slowly at best for now.
Mars trine to Pluto on Wednesday will speed actions up into a precise flow that’s not overwhelming but is quite productive in getting results that will last. You may feel like you have some super powers or are a hero in your own world/sphere today. This is a great day to move forward and let go/make some big decisions on cutting things out that are hurting you, as Mars is also opposite Chiron and Jupiter is quincunx Saturn, pushing us to find the right balance between expansion and contraction and giving us the power to assert ourselves strongly in doing so. Jupiter/Saturn can fuel a smoldering restlessness in the background of our lives – it’s as if we know we must make some bold moves to heal our world, but we are fighting the restrictions we’ve put on ourselves through our structures. This can be a day when the masses or individuals strike back against society in trying to make a break from the way things are. The best way to use this energy is to collaborate with others with some discipline so that something solid can be prepared to be moved measurably. Juno’s ingress into Sagittarius indicates that partnerships will be a source of creative inspiration and risk-taking in the weeks to come.
Jupiter sesiquadrate Pluto on Thursday continues much of the energy above from earlier in the week. People can get quite coercive and feel god-like under Jupiter/Pluto – this aspect says copping this kind of attitude about our values/beliefs will only bog down transformation. Ambition can be quite high, but there are many roadblocks that must be overcome and what you need to do so may not be all available right now. This is a time to contemplate rebuilding our systems once again, realizing there may be flaws in any plan especially if we get too narrow about our views, legal problems, and questionable values. Hopefully, Mercury’s conjunction to Ceres in Taurus will start grounded dialogue on resource management, information management, and security plans.
Friday and Saturday are quieter days, although Saturday’s Sun opposite Juno may bring some big decision or issue between partners.
Sunday the Sun ingresses into Gemini and we have a New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 1* Gemini – this sounds like a potent time of new beginnings with our thoughts, communications, learning, relationship to local environment. With the eclipse, what we are launching now can bring long term success if we put the work into what we need to do now. This is a time where new ideas that are radical can begin to be accepted and major breakthroughs can eventually occur. This is a time period of sharing information and gaining new knowledge, power, changes, security, partnerships, and connections. Mercury’s semi-square to Uranus feeds this energy, along with all its others aspects this week. Look to the house this eclipse/New Moon falls in your chart to see where its energy will affect you most. Any aspects to other planets/points in your chart (2* orb) will also flavor the energy of this eclipse. It seems like the eclipse/New Moon and other aspects this week show the way is to share information – that change in our lives and society comes from the ground up not from the top down. The best way to do that is to be an agent of change by sharing information and possibilities and by focusing on what is most important and promising. There is much focus on Gemini energy now: Venus stationary retrograde, ingress of Sun, and New Moon/Eclipse, but still enough Taurus (Mercury, Jupiter, Ceres, Sedna) to ground the energy and really think things through and make stable choices. All of this energy is building up leading to the first exact hit of Uranus/Pluto square come late June. If there was ever any doubt about astrology, look how much Uranus/Pluto, the archetype of revolution, has already affected the world in the past year: and the exact first hit hasn’t even come yet! As we get closer to it, Europe is a sea of unemployed people, put out of work by the policies of austerity and old world economic policies, revolting in the streets (check the BBC news); revolution continues to sweep across the Arab World; China and India become more westernized by the day; and the US is divided between two extreme revolutionary groups demonstrating in the streets also. This is an opportunity for great change and this whole energy seems to say it must come from the bottom and go up no matter where we seek it. Be an agent of change centered in the heart and you will know the right thing to do – and it’s in the little things that happen to us each day most often where this occurs with others and nature, not some large event – share those little things with others now and you will be that agent of change – you will learn and teach simultaneously: what a grandiose plan/way to change the world!
Next week, Mercury is very active joining the Sun/Venus in the sign it rules, Gemini, and aspecting most of the other planets. The Sun will also square Neptune . Stay tuned.
