Monday starts much like much of last week: relatively quiet
astrologically. There is a diffusive Sun/Neptune semi-square which can
frustrate some of our idealistic ideas/dreams/hopes and get us feeling a bit
discouraged in general. This can also drain physical energy, so we may feel a
bit tired/passive. Any attempts at deception are likely to backfire on you
also. However, Neptune is working in a more subtle way also with a sextile to
Pallas Athene perfecting today bringing strong faith in your belief system,
opening to the sub-conscious mind/psychic-type energies, and the ability to use
art to make spiritual statements. The Moon is void-of-course until noon Pacific
time, so morning may not go as expected, but lunar ingress into Aries should
give a boost of energy to counter Neptune’s effects.
Tuesday, the Moon gets in its weekly stressful aspects with
the Uranus/Pluto square conjuncting Uranus and squaring Pluto. Moon/Uranus can
give a lot of ingenious ideas that may raise hopes too high into the unrealistic
zone and anger us and have us rebel/seek freedom in some disruptive ways.
People may trip themselves up by being too quick/impulsive and then find
themselves in some dark zones afterwards (Moon/Pluto). Power struggles with
others are possible over unmet expectations. Projection is prevalent. Mercury
is also sesiquadrate Saturn today and it can be from the results Moon/Uranus/Pluto
that we find ourselves in a pessimistic/narrow/conservative thought and
communication zone. It is easy to see the shadow side of things today, which
can be depressing. This energy is best used to take on some practical, mundane
tasks that require mental focus done alone.
Wednesday has the lead event of the week with an early
morning Full Moon in Aries at 20/21*. This is a time to start something new by
taking assertive action on it. It is time to launch yourself on some grand
adventure – to be decisive and independent, yet take personal actions that
benefit all. We must realize this can be done within the confines of our everyday
existence through protecting those we love. Aries is strong masculine energy,
the Warrior – choose to be the Peaceful Warrior now, not the
destructive/tyrannical one. Those who have angry/aggressive personalities may
not be able to control themselves, so violent actions are possible. With this
New Moon also conjunct Venus and Mars, hopefully most will be able to find
balance/harmony between male/female, active/receptive, ying/yang energy
instead. Under this Aries New Moon use your energy wisely to help both self and
others/society. Look to the house in your chart this New Moon falls in to see
what area of life it will affect the most for you. Any planets or points it
tightly aspects (1-2*) in your chart will color the energy for you. Mercury is
also square Vesta today so we may find ourselves at odds with groups we belong
to. Communication difficulties, overthinking others’ intentions, an inability
to learn, and/or sexual issues may all come up in interactions with others.
Thursday is pretty quiet although a Moon/Saturn opposition
during the day could put the dampers on us through authorities/superiors coming
down us, serious decisions having to be made that can seem “no-win”, an
overload of responsibilities, and judgmental attitudes.
There is a couple of subtle background shifts on Friday.
First, Pluto goes retrograde until September 20th. This asks us to
look within and see how we try to control things out of fear and contemplate
how we can transform that before we ask others to transform how they misuse
their power for the very same reason. Second, is the second (retrograde) hit of
Saturn quincunx Uranus. This energy can be sensed in increasing tension in the
general populace about feeling stuck or railroaded by the System/our leaders.
It seems like many have no answer to the doldrums that they are in. There is a
growing sense of restlessness that can lead to disruptive bursts of
freedom/independence. This is a very fitting aspect for the turmoil of our
times, and requires serious adjustments to the structure of society and the separation
of ourselves from traditional ways of current civilization. Saturn square Juno
while Uranus sextiles it shows partnerships may be under tension from the Saturn/Uranus
quincunx and that some may choose to break free of one and other. Venus
semi-square Chiron today also can bring some frustrating tensions to our
relationships.
On Saturday, Mercury finally leaves Pisces behind after an
extended stay with the Fishes due to its retrograde phase taking place there,
and moves into Aries joining the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Uranus in the sign of
the Ram. Communications will become more assertive, but also more subjective/egotistical,
thus possibly creating arguments/disputes. The mind moves very quickly and independently
under this influence and can be quite witty, even aggressive, but also does not
think decisions through well and thus can draw wrong conclusions that trip
yourself up ultimately. This is a time when people will fight for their
rights/what they believe in willfully.
Venus semi-square Jupiter on Sunday shows this should be a
day of pleasure spent relaxing with friends or at social events. We may
overspend out budget under its influence.
Next week, the energy begins to shift toward Taurus, as the
Sun, Venus, and Mars head off for the sign of the Bull.
