Weekly Weather August 17, 2009Apologies for the late column posting ~ it was a travel day for me to Chicago. I ran out of time!
It is a two page week! Every week I print out the aspects when I sit down to write the column. When the aspects spill onto a second page, I know we are in for a week with lots and lots of activity. It seems fitting after the extensive and profound eclipse season that took place to conclude eclipses with a two page week!
Our week ahead finds us at the end of eclipse season! YEAH! I am SO ready for this eclipse season to be over. Reflect back on the changes in your life and in our world since June 22, 2009. As we move forward into fall, we’ll come to a deeper understanding of what Pluto in Capricorn will mean to each of us in and through our lives. But first we get to wrap up eclipse season with a two page week!
The Sun enters Virgo, leaving behind the playful and creative sunshine energy of Leo for the structure, duty, back to school and work process energy of Virgo. Virgo Sun will trine Pluto pointing out our purpose and what some of our Capricorn tasks will be. We always encourage each other to do your Saturn. The trine will point out new methods that you can use. It will bring your Saturn job into sharp relief and offer you a new focus. While this change into Virgo Sun happens every year, THIS year the closing trine to Pluto at the world axis degree makes it easier for us to integrate and assimilate the information Virgo Sun needs to do a proper job. And Virgo Sun likes to do a proper job!
The North Node of Destiny enters Capricorn for an 18 month journey backwards to describe and layout the new structures we are going to build in our lives. The South Node of Destiny enters Cancer for an 18 month journey backwards and asks us to release inappropriate nurturing or figure out how to take care of ourselves a bit better. The Nodes move backwards through the zodiac, taking approximately 18 months in each sign.
The North node is leaving Aquarius where it was asking each of us to witness and observe our hopes and dreams and what became of them. How did we give love to our hopes and dreams? Now as the node moves into Capricorn, the North node will help us structure those dreams of ours and get them built so we can live our dream.
The South node has been going backward through Leo, redefining our creativity, love received and what we did for love. It helped us eliminate a bit of the drama, overdoing and ego based structures that prevented us from finding our true love. It asked us to learn to love ourselves rather than look for it from an external place.
My friend Mary Jayne shared an illumination that she had during the eclipse season ~ the We versus the Me process. Aquarius is the sign of the audiences so it is the natural WE. Leo is the sign of the performer who sings “I gotta be ME!”. The opening letter of WE ~ W ~ is an open and expansive letter, sharing its W contents with all who reach their hand into one the troughs. The opening letter of ME ~ M ~ holds and guards its‘ contents with sharp, pointy peaks, keeping out those who would take it from it. As the Nodes move out of the Leo (ME) and Aquarius (WE) signs this week, take time to think about the last 18 months and your ME/WE balance.
The Nodes would have adjusted that WE/ME balance as they journeyed through your Leo and Aquarius houses. What is your new understanding as they move out of those signs? I would anticipate there was a reduction in the ME energy and an increase in the WE energy as you clarified what was important to you and focused on your hopes and dreams. And the ME part of the energy might feel it lost some of its love and light if people left your life. However, the WE part found a new path, community, group or perhaps new friends or companions for the road ahead. All part of the Cosmic Course Correction system.
Now the Nodes start to move through Cancer asking us to let go of how we inadequately nurture our dreams. It is time to allow our dreams to grow up and become responsible for themselves with the guidance of Capricorn helped by Pluto and Saturn. We have to let the course of the cosmos guide us as the nodes move the swirl of evolving energy along.
The South Node also comes along and clips the New Moon eclipse energy we had on July 21. It clips it to take the legs out from under you OR to put some new legs in underneath where you lost your footing during the eclipses. Things from that July eclipse time can feel like they disappear into the ethers. Or you can finally start to feel like you can touch bottom again and can stand up in the sand without the water being over your head.
Remember sometimes the whole point of eclipses is to point out what the dream is and how the dream wants to come in. It happens because the light shifts ~ now you see it. The person or situation that you gave your dream to might NOT be the person or situation you go forward with to build your next dream with. The point is to KNOW IT IS THE DREAM. IT IS YOUR DREAM!
Don’t worry or fret if the person or situation before you can’t help you with your dream any more. The eclipse wanted to get you moving forward TOWARD your dream again. You can get to your dream and build it just fine, even if THEY are not there to help you. The point was to KNOW IT IS YOUR DREAM. And to know that you have a right to have your own dream. And, most important, BECAUSE YOU DREAMED IT, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GO and MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE.
The reason it is YOUR dream is because YOUR CHART describes the dream and wants it to happen. So give yourself permission to go forward toward your dream. Don’t listen to the folks who tell you all the reasons why your show won’t find a runner, your script won’t find a network, your book idea won’t sell, your poetry is too emotional, your hope of work abroad is futile, you are too old to have a baby, its too late to get a degree, you are too sick to get better, you are too poor to get out of debt, or you’ve been alone all these years so there is not a single person in the whole wide world who will ever love you. There is NO way that dream of yours is going to happen!
All that is a bunch of hoo~eey ~ and you can say that to them in a very loud voice. HOO-EEEY! Remember, the reason it is YOUR dream is because it is in YOUR chart! So don‘t listen to anyone who doesn‘t share your dream. If they don’t share your dream, it means your dream is NOT in THEIR chart. They can’t even wrap their tiny brains around it. In the same way you won’t go to a doctor who can’t help you get better, why are you EVEN listening to a person who is raining on your parade and telling you NO? Or telling you that your dream is a no go? Who are they to tell you that?
Time for a bit of Barbra to inspire you!

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey world, here I am ...
I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
The week also features shocking news as well as a major explosion, rupture or separation of some sort ~ quite possibly (probably) violent. Mercury is opposite Uranus and Mars comes to square Uranus. Mars in Gemini implies a sibling energy and Mercury rules siblings so there could be another sibling loss or separation. You will see things clearly but you might not like what you see as the Sun clears the fog of Neptune.
There also is a New Moon which involves both of the lights, Sun and Moon in harmony with the Arabic Parts of Assassination and danger of violence. This doesn’t have to be physical death or violence but can appear as mental, emotional or spiritual endings or assassinations too. You see things you never saw before. You are attacked out of the blue by some one or some thing that you never saw coming. Saturn, Pluto and Mars are all in aspect to rather nasty fixed stars as Neptune joins with Pandora releasing a whole lot of spites as she opens that box of hers.
The best way to use difficult energy like this is to redirect it towards projects or situations that require a boost of strength or force or require energy to get going. Things want to leave your life forever so encourage them to go if you want them to go. They will go! And the door will slam behind them on their way out. No dangling or threatening to end things ~ people will take it literally. No fights and hanging up the phone in a huff ~ it won’t be answered again.
This is a great set of aspects for all sorts of endings as the clipped, crisp and sharp nature of the planets in their mutable t-square really clears things out and cuts them off. On the other hand, avoid dark places, dangerous situations and pay extra special attention while traveling or driving. OTHER people are having this aspect too ~ so they may very well NOT be paying a bit of attention to where YOU are on the road, focused as they are, completely focused, on their OWN stuff. No mouthing off to people as tempers will be flaring and people are quite hot under the collar. WE can expect to witness brawling and fights between siblings or neighbors as the ME is having the last hurrah before the Node moves off into Cancer/Capricorn. It will end if you push it just a teeny bit. Firings too!
So we can anticipate quite a week ahead of us. Keep your mind focused on the new beginnings that are going to pop right up out of those endings too. The eclipses will leave with more of a bang than they arrived with. And then, we get back to our regular lives, changes firmly in place and made.
Monday’s Moon in Cancer is very sensitive to surroundings and situations. Mercury joins with Saturn to say the news is not great or very good. Probably a no even. That is okay. Proceed on to your next step or to Plan B. Today there are many aspects that make you feel like you are Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill only to feel it roll back down. Mars has a cooperative trine to Neptune allowing you to get further into the plans or dreams than you ever have before as you close the day. Under the cloak of darkness, action is taken. Patterns or habits you never noticed before become clearer. You can also change them by partnering on a small scale with a tiny change, executed daily. You can get things accomplished today if you move early and fast. You need to make adjustments when faced with a group that says no but after than it is clear sailing.
Tuesday Moon in Leo adds passion to the story and a bit of bravado too. Mercury wants you to tell your story ~ all of it ~ don’t leave out bits to make it shorter or sweeter. In the telling of the story, you find new meanings. Or perhaps the questions from the listener help you understand it a bit better. Or in the reaction you receive an offer with new insights into what it actually means. Sun has an adjusting aspect to Uranus and requests he be a bit less skittish and live more in the moment or adjust the lights. Audio visual problems and computer problems abound. Chaos is all over the place. Unexpected or unanticipated matters will cause you to lose focus for a moment or a while. Change your patterns and habits again today. The assassination attempt of today or yesterday is finished when Mars perfects his square with Uranus at 10:24 pm EDT. Now you get to deal with the aftermath. It is finished on some important level. It is time for it to stop and go do something else. It is time for you to stop and go do something else. Let it go.
Wednesday Leo Moon offers a bit of brightness upon awakening. Venus is sextile to Saturn so she’s working hard with the Lord of Time to get her emotions in check particularly because she knows it would be a nurturing love that is needed. Venus is in an argument with Jupiter as the demands of the collective argue with her desire to just go home and stay there. There is harsh news all around as quite a few planets argue with each other. Better to live in the moment and not to worry so much. You can’t do much of anything but get through this with your head held high. Remember we are at the tail end of the eclipse season AND the nodes AND we have two pages of aspects, including some mighty difficult ones. Give yourself time and space to adjust to do what you need to do. Today is all about adjust, adjust, adjust. And More adjust. Destiny is destiny. They can’t take away your destiny. Don’t let them take away your dream. Don’t let them rain on your parade.
Thursday has a New Moon bright and early. Make sure to read the New Moon report on this web site for more information on how to work with the energy. Moon is quite productive today after the New Moon as she trines Pluto and pushes us all to be better focused and keeping our eye on the ball, goal or dream. Move towards it today. Sun joins with Mars and Mars joins with the nodes by declination causing lots of action and movement in the world. Today they are not telling the truth. Whatever you hear is not the truth. They think that is better some how. It isn’t but they don’t know what else to do. Have pity on them. Recognize it is the cosmos moving us all along. Neptune wants you to partner with a new person who is better for you or more in line with what you are attempting to accomplish. Say yes, with a qualifier or condition. They will take it. Things need to get cleaned up and they think you can do it. Venus is feeling unappreciated, unloved and unwanted as well as kind of blindsided by the early attack she didn’t anticipate. Be kind to her. Show her how she can adjust to fit the situation. Adjust. Adjust.
Friday Mercury is opposite Uranus so expect shocking news about the events that took place earlier in the week. Now we are ready to talk about them as Mercury faces off with Uranus. Might be a bit of shouting and yelling. The nodes change signs at 1:47 pm EDT ~ watch for the shift. It will be apparent. Just look at the world around you and watch as the dissolve shifts from ME/WE to time to take care of business.
Saturn’s day brings Venus a bit of an opportunity to move toward her dream, provided she is willing to adjust. Adjust. Adjust. Adjust and one more adjust for good measure. Wrapped in all the adjustments are some nice aspects and maybe even an unexpected gift or two. Sun enters Virgo so we officially begin the mutable part of the summer season. Where did it go? The story still isn’t being told truthfully. Unfortunately, you need to cut it off and move on (if you haven’t already). No worries. You’ll be fine. You did learn. The experience was to learn and figure out a new way of being and doing in the world. That accomplished, you are now finished with the last bits and on your way.
Sunday Moon in Libra gets us a bit more balance. The principle of supporting someone whose done good things for you is fine. Venus is extra busy today and can overspend or over do. That is a good thing after such a rough week emotionally. Mercury is fighting with Saturn ~ sometimes you NEED TO LEAVE IT ALONE and stop talking. Talking isn’t going to solve this one. Behavior change is what is needed. Siblings and communications can be a bit over the top. If you love it, get it for yourself. Even if it costs too much. Mercury knows the exact way to set it up and have it mean the world to you. Sun trines Pluto offering enormous power and grace under pressure. Give into your dream. Start to move toward changing your section of the world to support that dream of yours. No letting anyone stand in your way any more. Life is too short to waste. Take action to partner with yourself to get what you want. It is time. You are ready. It IS your dream after all.

I looked yesterday and it wasn't there. I thought she was taking the week off.
