Well, we made it through the first big set of stations and ingresses. How did YOUR life change over the past few weeks? What structures shifted? What dreams changed? What is the emerging vision now that the energy is moving in a new and different way? Stations are when planets stop and build up their energy to help us move in a new manner~ last week it was Saturn and Neptune that stopped. This week Chiron stops in Pisces. Ingresses are when planets enter new signs and change the characters and roles in our lives. Last week Uranus entered Aries for the first time since 1927. This week Mars and Jupiter enter new signs, Virgo and Aries, respectively.

Now we move forward to yet ANOTHER volatile week! Chiron stations in Pisces. The oil well in the Gulf of Mexico blew up when Chiron entered Pisces over a month ago. When Chiron stops in Pisces, the sign of both oil and the sea, hopefully the oil will stop spilling into the sea. Mars finishes his long, long, (six months worth of long!) journey in Leo and becomes more malleable, changeable and is able to work better with people. Jupiter enters a new sign, Aries, for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter starts a new zodiacal cycle. And, next week Jupiter joins with Uranus in Aries for the first time in 84 years.

There will be lots of changes made this week as people have reached their proverbial “last straw” and agree to take steps to change their lives. Or at least entertain the idea of change where before they were not so sure about it. Saturn moving forward says we are, essentially finished with our Saturnine Virgo lessons for the next 29 years. Ready or not, we‘ve graduated from Saturn‘s school! All that is left is to pack up our dorm room, cry a bit, take photos, promise to stay in touch, and get ourselves ready for the big wide world (gulp!). As far as the universe is concerned you are as ready as you are ever going to be for prime time, the next chapter, and your debut into the big wide world.

In the old days, a person was apprenticed to a master for 7 years to learn a skilled trade. Virgo rules apprentices, craftsmen and the skilled trades. You’ve been learning a new set of skills since April of 1996 when Saturn went into Aries and started a brand new cycle around your Saturn. You’ve been perfecting your skilled trade, your Saturn work by sign and house in this lifetime, since September 2007 when Saturn entered Virgo. Now you may not FEEL like that’s been happening. Or perhaps you weren’t paying attention to what was going on as the rest of your life was so darned busy.

However, as far as the HEAVENS are concerned, Spring 1996 is when Saturn entered Aries beginning a whole new zodiac cycle and a major chapter in your life. Saturn sat you down, ruffled your hair and said, in his quiet, gruff way “Kid, pay attention. I am going to teach you stuff you need to know.” Or maybe Saturn didn’t say a word to you. Regardless, in 1996 is when Saturn started teaching you the stuff you are NOW supposed to be a master of. You aren‘t an apprentice any more. You are supposed to know what you are doing. And, as of July 26, Saturn is setting you loose in the big, wide world as he (and you) enter Libra and move above the horizon of the Anima Mundi chart. The whole WORLD is going to be watching to see what you are made of and why you are here. It will be your debut! The debut of your Saturn on a wider and broader scale in the big world!

So get your stuff packed up and yourself ready to go! Figure out what to do with those left over Ramen Noodles in your desk drawer. Decide if you want to take a quick road trip or vacation before settling into your next new life’s chapter. Figure out which clothes work for the next chapter of your life. Dump the stuff that doesn’t serve you any more. Get it out of your life to make room for the new to come in. Balance your finances. Figure out what you want to do with your money remembering the economic collapse that is forecasted for August 2, shortly after the July 26th new cycle of Saturn in Libra begins. Keep your money in a secure, insured place and preserve your principle.

You might feel a bit overwhelmed and exhausted by all the energy swirling around. You are totally in sync with the heavens. Take naps. Go to bed early. There is a sense of the party coming to an end. There is another sense that you are tired and you want to go home. There is a third sense that underneath you can feel all sorts of changes shifting and about to create something brand new. All three versions of reality are operating simultaneously.

Now your job with all these swirling, shifting realities is to focus on the part that you CAN do something about. Give those things you CAN do something about your time and attention. Get them ready for graduation and the new life which is coming right around the corner.

Monday Neptune stationed and brought emotions to the surface as Moon in Capricorn added a somber note to the party energy. Turbulence that was unnamed over the weekend finally found a voice and a dream to push towards. Watch the dreams upon awakening either from sleep or a nap ~ powerful messages ALL WEEK about actions to take or not take from Neptune and Mars. Mars is getting ready to leave Leo but will oppose stationing Neptune as he does. That energy suggests the dream you’ve been struggling with since last fall is ready to be revised into something new and different. Push a bit at the shape of your dream. It is like fog, oozing clay or soft mud and in a version that can be molded into something good for your future. Give yourself permission to dream. Give yourself permission to work the clay of your dreams. Don’t let your dreams lie dormant on the floor. Pick them off, dust them off, and get them back into the game.

Tuesday find Moon in Aquarius and active with lovely closing aspects to Neptune. A great day to get things out the door and off into the world. The world is waiting to hear from you. Or if they aren’t waiting, they will be HAPPY to hear from you. They might even say “So what took you soooooo long?” You can hear of partnerships ending today ~ it is not mutual. One side wants out and is leaving the other side. If YOUR partner is stomping about, make sure to get BOTH of you focused on what the vision is that you are moving toward. I have one friend who is very despairing about the nature, quality and content of her life. At the same time, she refuses to take any action toward building or creating a new life. She even refuses to discuss her dreams or consider what else she could do. And rather than allowing herself to move towards a new life, she spends more and more time alone complaining about the life she has. She used to be a dynamo. Now she is sad, miserable and depressed. She doesn’t see the point. It is time to talk to your despairing friends about their dreams. Encourage them. Talk to the despairing part of yourself about your dream. Encourage yourself. Talk to the dream in your soul that is feeling it needs to change or shift or move. Take some advice from Bloody Mary of South Pacific:

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Wednesday is a rocking and rolling busy day. Moon in Aquarius is active with nice closing aspects so things begun or worked on this day proceed well. Venus is very active moving forward with her plans for what she wants around house, home, nurturing or caring for others. Great day for listing a house, buying a house, settling in or clearing closets in an existing home. You’ll be able to clearly say yea or nay to objects that you no longer need. On the work front, it is just as productive as you feel strong and clear. Take an unusual approach to get what you want. They won’t say no. My old boss used to say, “Do what you want and beg forgiveness later.” It is a great day to ask for what you want too! And you may not have to beg for anything! You are partnering with the power and forging new strong connections, especially if you stay on point.

There can be a bit of miscommunication toward the end of the day if you are dismissive or don’t stop to listen carefully to partner. They need to be heard too!

Thursday finds the moon void in the morning and entering Pisces mid-day. Folks are in the mood to argue with anyone asserting power that don’t or aren’t perceived as having the “right” to power. And age or status in the world doesn’t make you have the “right” to power. Power in this case, has to be “earned” based on previous behavior or due to respect. Once we get talking, power squabbles can clear up. Again, ask what they are saying. Seek clarification. Mars is bollixing up the works with his dance with Neptune and causing tempers to be foggy or a bit short. Adjust to the fact that they are not your mother. And sometime we ALL feel like motherless children.

Friday, Chiron stations at 3:04 am Eastern Daylight Time. The moon in Pisces adds to the swirling emotional energy. This can either be a terrific day or a very hard one ~ depending on where you are in your process. Heaven or hell so to speak. Or you can ricochet back and forth BETWEEN heaven and hell. Saturn is feeling overwhelmed as he pushes forward and moves back into an in conjunct with Neptune. Mars fights with Neptune by opposition. IF someone opposes you OR you oppose them, look to the shadow issues of Saturn. Remember right now the universe is testing, testing, testing to make sure you are ready to graduate on July 26th. This test is about how well you spot the other guy’s issue and can do (or not do) something about it. I had to go to court the other day as Saturn stationed. The ruler of my third house is joined to Saturn ~ so I LOVE MY PAPER TRAILS! We reached an agreement to return to court on August 10th if we didn’t settle the matter before then. I asked for a written piece of paper with the date and time on it from the court. I was told I would have to wait until one was signed by the judge. The lawyer announced she was not going to stay for the paper as it would be over an hour and a half, gesturing at the crowded courtroom. I looked at the court clerk and repeated my request for a written notice of some sort. The clerk said to me “We don‘t give notes here. We are all adults. We are supposed to remember when we are supposed to come back.” I am sure I looked like the five year old I felt like. I wanted a note! The clerk wrote me an “unofficial note”, as the stipulation wasn’t signed by the judge but it WAS a note! I left happy. Push to do what your Saturn needs today. Ask for your version of a note, even if they don’t want to give it to you. Recognize their role as a PARTNER with SATURN. Make sure to do your Saturn and they will do their part as Saturn’s partner (and secret tester).

Saturn’s day find the Moon in Pisces and with a lovely closing aspect of a conjunction to Jupiter at the very last degree of Pisces during the night. It is a day and night for dreaming and oceans and waters and healing energy. Take time to meditate or spend moments watching water or listening to meditative music. Kick back and let them flowing energy inspire you. The Moon does oppose Saturn adding a brief lack of harmony to events in the evening around 9:36 pm Eastern time. The issue has been brewing for quite awhile so be cautious around fueling the fire or being overly critical. The other person (or you if someone is criticizing you) is not in the mood to hear it any more. There can be a permanent split under this energy.

Sunday the day is rocking as Moon and Jupiter both move into Aries kick some serious butt. Expect restless sleep. Be careful traveling in the early morning hours as the energy is particularly volatile and crazy. Fights with the maternal energy are very strong and indicate a break to be able to nurture yourself your own way. It is a GREAT day to begin a new health program or exercise regime. If a relationship had a big fight last night, it can literally end or spiral into hell this evening. Be careful with words as things tend to be misunderstood and taken out of context. Ask the other person to repeat back to you WHAT they heard you say. And LISTEN to what they heard. It may not be at all what you said. The filtering mechanisms for hearing are all kerflooly so double check that they actually heard what you said, not what they THINK you said.

Mundane: A few people wrote about the spate of deaths over the past two weeks. When outer planets station or enter new signs, we often find the shift is energy is too much for older or ill bodies to bear. Heck, it is hard on those of us with YOUNGER and HEALTHY bodies.

The eclipses are coming soon, in late June and early July, with the nodes of destiny in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. They will bring another spate of deaths of our elders, ill, family and “teachers”. We’ll all move up the escalator of life to the next level. So make sure over the next few weeks to connect with your loved ones, and teachers, both young and old, as the passage ahead is full of changes and turbulence. After July 26th, we ARE the grown ups in charge of the place.
