MONDAY - Sun conjuncts Uranus, Saturn conjuncts the South Node
TUESDAY - Venus conjuncts Chiron
WEDNESDAY - Pluto stations retrograde in Capricorn (for five months)
SATURDAY - Mars squares Neptune
Another intense week! Is there any other kind of week anymore? Didn't we say April would be life-changing?! Oh yes, we did!
On MONDAY, Uranus meets the Sun - the first time in Taurus in something like 84 years. And it's Earth Day! When a planet meets the Sun we start a new chapter or a new story. Uranus in Taurus is squaring Aquarius (Uranus's sign) so his journey through Taurus maintains this kind of natural square to himself - which brings tension/frustration, but is also the energetic we need to move past self-imposed restraints.
And this is unpredictable and chaos ruling Uranus so we know this new chapter
includes a major PLOT TWIST.
This is a light (Sun) being thrown on something unexpected (Uranus).
This is a strong urge (Sun) to be free (Uranus). This is a flash (Sun) of genius (Uranus).
A cosmic download of our future. We are given a crystal ball. What do we see? We are becoming the magic to such an extent that we have to be asleep to keep the old world going.
That is why we are being woken up!
This is shock (Uranus) and awe (Sun).
This aspect will often show us to what and to whom we are tethered. This might be shown to us in a way that doesn't feel so good. But not necessarily.
Uranus (the conductor of our fastest route from point A to point B) uses what works and sometimes the stick works better than the carrot.
Sometimes we just aren't hungry enough to even notice the carrot
(although I'm betting most of us are hungry for a little more stability and security right now).
We could meet this energy in the form of an actual person. Maybe someone new and unusual or our new and unusual self or thingamajig could attract a person/situation that lets it shine or brings it attention.
It is always better to use this kind of energy rather than be used by this energy.
Do something NEW.
It doesn't have to be some huge, ginormous thing unless this stuff is hitting your personal planets and points and if that is the case it will most certainly be some big, ginormous thing.
Also if we have been in Lalaland - that long Mercury/Neptune thing - this could be a very big reality check week. If nothing out of the ordinary happens to us, maybe we do not require any major kicks from point A to point B right now.
Know whatever happens now (large or small) - will have its BENEFITS.
(Trump is being MAJORLY challenged this week, especially Wednesday/Thursday, but before we get too excited, keep in mind his strong Uranian nature, meaning his chart is ahead of the curve - I often say he IS Uranus - and the Mueller report dropped LAST Thursday - also with his chart interacting with the U.S. chart it could be a United States situation that is MAJORLY challenging - let's hope not)
Uranus (called the great awakener) only cares about getting us from A to B via the fastest route, he doesn't care if we land on our ass or if the route (like my GPS when I get near a certain body of water and it urges me forward although there is no bridge) drowns us in the ocean.
We will most assuredly wash up at point B, but we might not wash up still breathing.
In other words - this transit is the impulse to quit our job, for example, but it doesn't provide any help once we've quit - the transit will be gone and so will our paycheck. This doesn't mean we don't quit our job, but it's something to keep in mind now.
Unnecessary risks could put us in dangerous situations.
We could damage/create chaos (Uranus) for our physical body (Sun). Uranus rules accidents and with my stellium in Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) I was one of the most accident prone children on the planet - my father would say "put a piece of paper on the convention hall floor and she will trip on it", so they sent me to ballet, where I continued to fall, but now with a little more drama. I fell going down the stairs. I fell going up the stairs. I fell when I was sitting down - really, what the hell was that?! :)
We could damage/create chaos (Uranus) for our reputation (Sun) - the way other people see us.
Of course, even this could be a good thing if someone is relying on us too much and we let them down.
Things are never totally bad or totally good.
It's probably not a good time to confront authority though.
Our Taurus house gets a DISRUPTION - a new chapter kicks off. Unless you were alive in the 1940's (and probably even if you were) this is totally uncharted territory.
On the same day we have Saturn (stationing retrograde next week, so we get this aspect three times) meeting the South Node in Capricorn (and opposing our Node Node in Cancer - our way forward).
This is a major ending, a major letting go of the stuff that is no longer working - and it might just feel like it IS working. What we stop doing, dis-engage from or toss is as important as what we keep!
Is the role we played in the past still relevant?
I felt this energy in a major way on Easter - and the answer was a resounding NO. And that hurt. BIGLY.
The South Node and Saturn are both about karma. We reap what we have sown. Or what our ancestors' have sown (which might seem unfair until you realize you ARE your ancestors or until you win the lottery because your great-great grandfather was cheated out of his gold claim).
If we have been undecided about something this year - here is where our hand might be forced.
This energy is in play for the rest of the year, but today is one of the days we get the exact aspect.
We'll talk more about this in the dailies.
On TUESDAY, Venus meets Chiron at 3 degrees Aries. This might connect back to last week's Mercury/Chiron hurting/healing words. This feels like an opportunity to be brave. To love ourselves. To forgive ourselves for our weaknesses.
Maybe there is some kind of attraction to what hurts here.
Like we just want to wallow in it!
We might be extremely sensitive to Venusian issues now - beauty, love, our values, resources, our money. Painful feelings. Not being/having enough.
This could be about making peace with our looks, with our bank account, with our relationships - some things just can't be fixed from the space we currently occupy.
Some deep insights are possible now.
Heads up Tuesday includes an all-day Void Moon.
On WEDNESDAY, Pluto stations retrograde at 23 degrees Capricorn. He will get back to 20 degrees by October 3rd when he will station direct and walk these degrees AGAIN and since I have a natal 21 degree Mercury in Capricorn I can tell you we have already been here multiple times over the last couple years, but this will be the first time we are doing it with Pluto conjunct Saturn and the South Node!
Pluto retrogrades can reveal our shadows through challenging situations.
What is controlling us? What are we trying to control? Outworn controls, rules and power systems will be re-looked at.
Structural revisions are needed. What is holding us up these days?
Sometimes when Pluto is retrograde we are forced to go "cold turkey" with an obsession/addiction. We are made to dis-entangle from the people/situations we thought we needed to survive. To do or die.
Merging. Purging. That's Pluto.
This week's energy feels alot like last year mid-April - if that time period was big for you, this week might be, too.
I will write a post about these retrogrades - Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn (who will station retrograde in just a few days) including my near-death experience story from last year when Pluto stationed right on my Mercury - ruler of my 8th house.
On SATURDAY, Mars (in Gemini) squares imaginative but sometimes delusional Neptune (in Pisces). This energy sounds kind of exhausting. Like we are running in ten directions at once and getting nowhere. This also could be about a disappointment. Or an addiction/escape where we undermine ourselves.
There is a caution flag out now.
We might take actions that are not in our best interest. Make decisions based on faulty information. We could be undermined. Things could look better than they actually are (this sounds a little bit familiar, doesn't it?!). Boundaries can be blurry and too easily crossed. We need to be cautious about who we trust.
It won't be possible to be certain.
And, of course, it is never possible to be certain, but right now it is CERTAIN we can't be certain. If things do not need to be decided right now, let's not decide right now.
It's a caution-y, 'expect-the-unexpected' kind of week.
