Weekly Weather August 24, 2009Another mildly turbulent week as we enter into Virgo Sun’s energy of wanting to clean things up and organize every thing into neatly functioning packages. Not so fast say the energies in the sky! We have a bit more information to reveal to you before we can go full steam ahead with Virgo‘s pick up, pitch out or pile in order energy.
The eclipse season is officially finished. We have the changes that are taking place in our lives identified, in place or in process. Now we move toward the next chapter of our lives. Our week ahead knows we need to learn a few things and get a few things straightened out before we can move forward with out post it notes, reminder emails or last dregs of details. We actually have until the New Moon on September 18, with milestones at September 11 and 15 to help clear out the last bits of our old stuff from Pluto in Sagittarius and have our new lives in order, ready for Pluto in Capricorn and partnering with our soul’s evolution. This month is a get it done month with the New Moon in Leo from last week lighting up the remaining jobs and outstanding items. A giant cosmic to-do list is coming your way….
Three planets and an asteroid change signs, all of them from the most personal part of our life and chart. These are the planets that bring us the information we need to connect, relate and coordinate with the world. Mars, Mercury and Venus shift signs as does Vesta, the asteroid of home and hearth. Mars allows us to take action, not direct action but family oriented, self nurturing action. Mercury teaches us to communicate in a balanced and honorable way. Venus asks us to go from standing in the position of our desires, heart or love focus. Vesta offers us a new nest or place to rest our head ~ a place that loves us and wants us to feel loved. These planets also aspect the nodes at the late degrees and Pluto at the early degrees of Cancer/ Capricorn. The planets will ask us to PROCESS EMOTIONS, FIGHT, ADJUST or LET GO of what we seek to own as our own. Going to be fun on earth this week as we figure out what the planets are telling us we need to tackle to get clear on which topic! So many swirling energies all talking to Pluto and Cancer’s retention, nurture energy or Capricorn’s boundary, tough love energy in the Nodes of Destiny.
You will feel like a bit of a yo-yo as you bounce back and forth between these energies. No worries about which planet or energy choice to do when. Take a deep breath. Center yourself. Tell Virgo Sun to stop worrying about it. Focus on the vision of where you are going (or where you would like to go). Do NOT worry about the HOW you are going to get there. The universe will take care of the HOW. Just show up, be present and do what is in service of the higher good of the moment. It will all work out. It is one of those magical weeks of movement and change.
Mars changes signs into Cancer where he becomes quite a bit more sneaky and passive aggressive. Mars acts, always, in his OWN interest rather than in yours or the other guy’s interest when he finds himself in Cancer. So watch for sneaky actions or slippery behavior or skidding away sideways in haste or grabbing on and not letting go ~ Cancer crab stuff. Mars in Cancer clings on to what he wants or has rather than sharing it like he is supposed to. So make an ally of Mars (or make an ally of someone Mars is afraid of) so Mars will act FOR YOU rather than against you.
If you find yourself in a situation that requires you to take action and you find yourself feeling possessive or retentive, know that it is Mars in Cancer that WANTS YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR YOUR OWN or your family’s SELF INTEREST. Pay attention. If you feel like skidding away, that means the attack is in place and you need to stay and push for what you want. No skidding away. Just fold your arms across your chest and look the danger, sideways, in the eye. Get a bigger crab to help you. Mars in Cancer allows you to take roundabout actions that get you where you want to go ~ OPEN copies on emails to THEIR boss laying out how uncooperative they were, inviting powerful thirds into the triangle like lawyers, the court, the police, the judge, or the sister that your brother is afraid of. Mars in Cancer is going to make all of us a bit more defensive about our actions to protect ourselves. Proceed like a crab does, tiny, sideways steps, gathering information and holding onto it. Intuition is heightened on this Mars so trust your gut when it is telling you one thing and the words you are hearing are telling you something else.
Mercury changes signs too. He enters Libra where he’s looking for balance and partnership. Last week on Monday, the 17th, (which I forgot to mention in last week‘s column), Mercury entered his shadow starting the story for the upcoming Mercury retrograde in September. So what seemed a bit odd about what you heard last Monday or Tuesday? You are going to spend most of September working on clearing up THAT story and getting to the bottom of it. Libra rules balanced communications as well as the law, partnerships and enemies so new alliances, unions or perhaps difficulties can begin.
Venus goes into Leo making her playful, flirty and fun as well as a bit of a drama queen on a bad day. Venus is all about honor, pride and passion when she is in Leo so act with honor and keep your word on things this week. Find the thing that makes you passionate and resolve to spend more time doing it every day. Vesta in Leo wants us to beautify our homes (or offices) and make them a deep and true reflection of what lights up our lives and make us shine the brightest. Also Vesta loves candles when she is in Leo ~ or bonfires if you can find one on the beach near where you live.
The other news this week is the Mercury, Mars and Pluto t-square in the cardinal or action taking signs. T-Squares are difficult energy patterns which involve three (or more) planets fighting with each other or perhaps a more evolved vision is planets asking each other to take action and disagreeing about what action to take. Mercury is in Libra so he is going to attempt to be diplomatic while Pluto in Capricorn opposes Mars in Cancer. The power is going to be pushing the action taking to do it in the right way. This is a talk softly and carry a big stick energy form. There are severe legal consequences to the issue or situation that if things are NOT handled properly will result in major, major problems. T-squares are moments in time when we are asked to standup for what is right, just, honorable and proper in the world. You will be asked to stand up for what is right and proper in your world this week. So listen to your heart and take the appropriate action. If you would want it done to YOU, then it is probably okay to do it to the other guy. If you would NOT like it done to you, then you need to stand clear and straight to block the activity being done to you. Obviously, this leaves out water boarding, stealing inheritances or embezzling money. It requires you to walk your talk.
Monday Moon moves between Libra and Scorpio. Moon has lovely closing aspects with Libra Moon offering good partnering energy and the ability to take action. You might hear something you don’t like today or that is wounding. Move on to the next opportunity, after you incorporate the changes that were suggested by the wounding situation. Venus in the last degrees of Cancer/ Capricorn is dancing with the nodes of destiny releasing something you thought was true about your family or your loves.
Tuesday Moon is in Scorpio as Mars and Mercury enter new signs, Cancer and Libra respective. When they do that, they set off the forming T-square with Pluto in Capricorn. Remember the T-square means you have to take action. Take action that you would want to have done to you. This story has been building for a while now so watch what you hear and see as yet another reveal happens today. Scorpio Moon is quite aggressive as Mars in Cancer rules him. Scorpio Moon is going to seek to hide or keep out the information not supportive or assisting her agenda. Time to speak softly and carry a big stick. If your gut is telling you something different than the words you are hearing, trust your gut. Ask to see the paper work. Call the banks and tell them your mother died so your brother can’t run off with the money. Banks freeze bank accounts and can reverse recent transfers in the event of a death not reported and a now invalid power of attorney. Use the power of PLUTO in the t-square ~ enlist a more powerful third ~ to help you get what you want or need. Open the triangle to include the power as an ally to yourself. Mars is inconjunct the Nodes of Destiny so you won’t WANT to take these actions but DO take them. Act in your higher good ~ not your insecure good ~ but for your higher good. Follow your gut. Mercury’s trine to the North Node allows the energy to work out the way it is supposed to IF you stand firm or stand up to the T-square. Speak your truth. Venus and Vesta meet in late Cancer and let you get settled back home and into your routines of comfort.
Wednesday Moon is void most of the afternoon in Scorpio as the t-square with Pluto, Mercury and Mars forms. Venus drops into the South Node of Cancer releasing some desire energy of yours or removing something of value to you. The news may be shocking or difficult. Persevere. Venus enters Leo so go for the honorable approach in your desires. State them clearly. Speak your truth. Venus in Leo now rules that Mercury in Libra ~ honor is required. The T-square perfects today so follow up on the energy of speaking your truth while carrying a big stick. Hold to the honor space. Mars in Cancer finishes his opposition to Pluto so the block and power struggle is about to finish.
Thursday Moon in Sagittarius adds an expanding energy to the story with her pleasant aspects all day long. Venus needs to adjust to her new sense of Power as she aspects Pluto. Rules are made for such situations. Follow them. The nurturing energy of Ceres is being aspected by both Uranus and Neptune so make sure to honor nurturing and offer nurturing energy in different ways. Hold people to their higher self‘s vision. Venus is not happy with Mars’ actions but she knows why he did what he did even if it doesn’t excuse his behavior. Vesta clears things out of her house and releases them to the world with her drop into the South Node. What do you REALLY need? Why? What can you release today that no longer serves you? Go for it!
Friday Moon in Sadge continues to have lovely aspects with Jupiter allowing for expansion and legal matters are able to block Saturn from moving forward. Mercury and Venus chat about what needs to be done. Mercury realizes he will need to back track and reverse the situation from last week when he entered into his shadow, but that is okay. The upcoming Mercury retrograde is going to be a rocking and rolling one! Mercury’s on the matter! He’s paying attention. You pay attention too! Vesta enters Leo today. She wants you to create a nest or space for yourself that supports your soul’s purpose and allows your dream to take root and fly high! No fears about how or who. Just show up and do the work of your Saturn to make your dreams come true. It is that easy. Do your Saturn. Sun has an aspect of brilliance to the North Node of Destiny offering you a way to proceed. Yes, do follow that idea or work with that connection. It is part of your path.
Saturn’s day finds the Moon in Capricorn, making it a very productive and serious day. You can find good partners today. Partner with something that makes your heart sing and encourages you to take action to move more or move forward. Juno in Aries is talking to Venus in Leo encouraging a partnership that makes your love(s) content. Moon has a number of interesting aspects during the night so watch for interesting information to arrive in your dreams or through messages you receive.
Sunday Moon in Capricorn continues to offer opportunities for you to do your work, as outlined by your Saturn. Mars takes action around the new partnership you formed the other day. Pluto asks you to adjust how you feel about your home ~ perhaps moving or adjusting things in it into the change energy of your next chapter. This a great day for organizing a garage sale or house cleaning. (as was yesterday). It is a great day for laying out the next chapters of your life on your to-do list. Capricorn Moon will talk to Saturn about what you are doing and how to go about it in a healthful and productive manner. Trust the process. Trust that you are right where you are supposed to be. Give your self over to your on going evolution. While it might feel like winter in your life, know that winter is only a season and that spring is right around the corner.
