Astrological Winds for Week of 5-27-13


We indeed got some very potent Uranus/Pluto events last week during the exact third hit of the square also being triggered by inner planets aspecting it also. Most of these challenging events were shocking (Uranus) and exposed the Shadow/darker side and the consequences of repressing issues and how that can surface as rage and violence (Pluto). We had a Type 5 tornado hit the suburbs of Oklahoma City further exposing the intensity of the storms global climate change is making normal; a blatant media-staged terrorist attack in London to show Westerners what it’s like to live in unstable parts of the world – instability that has one of its causes as Western interference in cultures we don’t fully understand; a very fast turnaround in the stock market exposing this last rally as having very little real substance; and a bridge collapse on a major interstate in the western US highlighting the denial of the problem of an aging and ever dangerous infrastructure. These are just some of the examples that all are screaming: change, or be changed! Astrologers usually recommend the former as the less painful choice!

Lots of action early on Monday as the Sun quincunxs Saturn and Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in the wee hours and we wake up to a Moon/Pluto conjunction and Moon/Uranus square. Sun/Saturn can have us feeling inadequate somehow, as you can’t seem to get things done the way you want due to different blockages perhaps having their source within you. Fears of breaking rules may hold you back now and you can feel shy around others. Mercury/Jupiter in Gemini can really inflate everything that has to do with the mind: you can think in big terms/the larger picture today; you can take in large amounts of new information that open you up to other viewpoints; business can take off; and mental optimism can run high. Waking up to a Moon/Pluto conjunction may not be too fun: we may be quite moody this morning and feel stifled emotionally – Moon/Uranus shows we will want to make a break for our own freedom/independence somehow today. People may have quite a rebellious attitude.

Tuesday Venus catches up to Jupiter also conjuncting it – the spectacle on the Western horizon this week among these 3 planets conjuncting each other is well worth ducking outside for after dusk to observe! The two most beneficial planets conjuncting one and other should make for a positive day in general. This has a nice effect on relationships in general, mellowing peoples’ dispositions so that they get along well. Many may receive some good financial break/news too. We may get a bit self-indulgent also. Pallas Athene ingresses into Gemini today too joining the Sun/Mercury/Venus/Jupiter in the sign of the Twins, which favors using language and words for healing and conveying strong messages. This is one who is willing to debate what the truth is, battle with their words and wit, and speaks from knowledge gained from experience.

Wednesday is pretty quiet with Chiron trining Vesta helping groups that have formed over healing issues make some progress.

Thursday is pretty mellow too especially with the Moon in Aquarius trining the Mercury/Venus/Jupiter conjunction. Moon/Mars square in evening can get emotions steaming later.

Friday features two planets changing signs: first Mercury enters Cancer, a sign it’s not most comfortable in as emotions/subjective thinking can cloud clear mental processes. However, it can facilitate understanding things on deeper levels than just language. Many of our words now are colored by beliefs we picked up from our family/past/upbringing and may have little to do with current reality and thus may have you reacting inappropriately at times. This can also set people off in hissy fits when they are emotionally upset. On a positive side, it’s not easy to be deceived/fooled by others wild ideas. Mars enters Gemini a little later which can get physical energy up, but also scattered/frenetic at times. We may be being pulled at from so many different projects/objectives during this time that it’s difficult to give your all to any single one, and thus they may all suffer from varying degrees of incompleteness. Mars in Gemini can also bring up opposing views and thus an argumentative nature. Impulsiveness, impatience, and sloppy thinking can also plague us now. It does favor short, local trips however. Friday is also the Last Quarter Square of the Moon in Pisces to the Sun in Gemini: the emotions want a deep, “at-one” connection with someone/others/experiences, whereas the ego/self is content with superficial connections and information, so this tension is likely to express itself through us somehow today.

The Sun touches off the Uranus/Pluto Square in a mixed way on Saturday. First it quincunxs Pluto which indicates it’s difficult to understand the changes we are going through now – it seems like our experiences may be very intense today and it’s difficult to unwrap their meaning and why they’ve occurred to us. People may be arrogantly stubborn/stuck today and hurting themselves really – many of our interactions may degrade into power struggles. The Sun does sextile Uranus however to counteract the Pluto energy by bringing us some opportunities to do something different with someone different that can bring some excitement into our life. Minds will get quite lively under this energy. This is a good day to make some changes to your world and do something that satisfies your unique self.

Sunday Venus joins Mercury in Cancer where she is much more comfortable than the Winged Messenger. Here familial love and affection can take precedence in our relationship lives. This is supportive type love energy. Relationships with your parents, especially mother may take on extra importance now. You can get overly possessive of loved ones or family emotional baggage could surface also. Sunday night finishes the week with a Moon/Uranus conjunction in Aries and Moon/Pluto square. There may be a high degree of tension tonight and something may break/give that disrupts things and can bring on some intense emotions.

Next week Neptune stations retrograde as Mars squares it, and there’s a New Moon in Gemini.
