We are in the midst of Mars locking in exactly with the
Uranus/Pluto square these days – events can be quite intense right now. While
Israel and Hammas fired missiles at each other as we built toward the exact
Mars/Uranus square, on the day of the exact Venus/Neptune trine, they
negotiated a cease fire, while the people of Egypt are again in the streets,
this time against their newly elected President, and protests spread all over
Europe and other parts of the world in earnest. Here in the US , on the day before the exact Mars/Uranus
square, we had a 100+ car pile up on I-10 in Texas
Monday is a very active day: it starts with a burst of
innovative/excited energy from Sun trine Uranus. This can make
progressing/changing quite easy. You also want to do or be with something/someone
different. Awareness is strong and you can make an individualistic mark on the
environment/scene around you. This is also good for studying/working with new
technology, numbers, science. The Sun is also square Chiron, which is likely a
response to Sun/Uranus leaving us feeling a bit imbalanced, especially in our
habits or behaviors rooted to the past, when we can see we can be so much more
than that. So the challenge this square is asking is “how do you get there?”.
It can end up upsetting others when you make a move toward that also.
Mercury Retrograde also stations direct on Monday and will
slowly start to pick up forward motion. Many of those traveling this weekend
may get one last dose of inconveniences as Mercury stations. Its retrograde
effects will still be strong for a few days before it slowly releases them as
it moves through its retrograde shadow over the next 3 weeks. Monday ends with
a Venus/Saturn conjunction. This will turn relationships to serious and sober
levels. Many people will prefer to be alone during this evening. We may also
get reality checks on any new people we connected with during Sun/Uranus or
Venus/Neptune trines. This is also a sign many people won’t have the
money/resources they need to fill out the holiday gift lists.
Tuesday is the exact Mars/Pluto conjunction I opened this
blog with commenting on above.
Wednesday is a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 6/7* Gemini. This
Full Moon is usually about overstimulation, trying to do too much, information
overload, superficial interests, focus on the Big Picture while overlooking
details, many stimulating connections/communications, new knowledge, travel,
etc. However, the eclipse makes this Full Moon even deeper, as it shines a
light into our psyche to reveal things previously unseen perhaps, or not seen
as clearly. Here we may see some of the
surface ways the mind reacts and creates duality as a reality, yet realize that
underneath that is unity and that’s where our path must lie – that we need to
filter out the trivial, unimportant information for the true nuggets of wisdom
that come our way to help us find a higher path, live towards higher values,
and welcome in what breaks us free from the habitual mind. What Gemini seeks is
inside and so close, not so much out there in the world. The Moon is conjunct
the planet that rules Sagittarius, Jupiter, thus the Jovian one gives an extra
push to the Sun and pushes us to take some new big step in our path, some risk
that can change our lives in big ways. The Moon sextile Uranus will offer the
opportunity to do something different, the choice is yours. Look to the houses
in your chart this eclipse falls in to see the areas of life it will be
affecting most for you. Any planets in your chart that makes tight aspects to
it will also add to the energy for you. Venus is also sextile Pluto Wednesday:
this can deepen relationships significantly if you wish to. Emotions are felt
on transformative levels also under this transit.
Thursday has a sweet Venus sextile Mars. Creative energy is
high, love may be in the air, friendships are important, and there’s a balance
between male/female energies that can be tapped into. People express themselves
easily under this transit. There may also be financial opportunities available
you can act upon.
Mercury moving slowly forward bumps back into its
sesiquadrate with Uranus Friday. The tempo of this day may get nerves jittery,
or your ideas may be blocked somehow. Communications can also be
difficult/frustrating today.
A yod forms on Saturday as both Venus and Mars, still
sextile quincunx Jupiter. Couples or others in relationships with each other
may come to some serious philosophical disagreement here, and it may be a
matter of principles giving both parties the inability to adjust, but that is
what’s required. This can also make some relationship get really big/out of
proportion, but also fateful, and thus in need of playing out/going along
despite the overkill in it. Neptune trines
Ceres, a long term transit that will help perhaps shifts humanity’s values into
a more giving/compassionate/understanding tone. It may be much easier to relate
to others/put ourselves in other’s shoes, and thus shift our attitudes toward
giving now.
The Sun makes its annual opposition to Jupiter on Sunday
continues this week of expansion – if there was a week this year we are being
called upon to take some risk and reach for some new horizon, this is it.
Optimism may be able to fuel success now. If there has been something building
up in your life over the past few weeks and its decision time now, it is time
to take the chance. As long as you are not over-extending yourself too far or
are blinded by your own sense of righteousness, it is a good day/week to take a
big step/chance in your life.
Next week is a very quiet week astrologically - after the
intensity of the past few weeks, a welcome respite.
