Our world continues to move in wild and unpredictable ways as Sun enters Aries and joins with Uranus. The power of ego centered, �gI AM!�h Cardinal, action taking Fire passions joined with the crazy, wild and unpredictable energy of Uranus rolling around in the same energy offers us a week of taking action to get things moving in our lives.

Certainly, we have a few more endings coming over the next two weeks. This week we�fll start to see where we are actually heading. We�fll have the sense of shaking off our sadness and moving towards new beginnings. The fire and desire to fight, take action or DO something will rise through our veins like sap rises in the trees heralding a new season of life beginning. The Sun crossed the equator, heading north, marking a season change. Time to begin anew. There is hope again. There is the chance to build our future and follow our dream.

Cupido stations and goes retrograde this week offering us an opportunity to reassess our groups, tribes and families of choice or origin. What is our vision of what we want to create with the people we �ghang out�h with? How do we like how we are spending the precious time that is our life? Are we supported by the people in our world? Are we disparaged or disappointed by them? What do we want our relationships to be like? I keep hearing people talking about their changing relationships with people who have been in their lives for 12, 14, 19, 29, and even 40 or 50 years ~ all those time spans are reflected in the changing planets dancing above our heads. We are each being asked to choose and to change.

So take a deep breath and vision what you want for your future. Choose. Change. Speak your truth ~ to the people in your life or to your inner being that is waiting quietly for you to decide what to do. If you listen to your soul, you will hear the answer.

Mercury is in his shadow approaching his retrograde next week. Words spoken now, particularly harsh, argumentative, discordant, or difficult words will come back to haunt you. So proceed with caution. Speak to the vision of what you want to move TOWARD. Do not dwell on all the problems that are dancing around. Come up with an action plan of who, what, where, when, why and how and communicate THAT instead of rehashing the past.

Someone I know recently had a falling out with a friend of 14 years. In the email exchange, not ONE word was written that spoke of their future. It was all attack, attack, attack and shifts of the responsibility from one side to the other. All the written complaints were a rehash of every perceived, real or imagined slight ~ including events that were supposedly long ago apologized, forgiven and resolved.

If you find yourself or some else in the mood to �gthrow the kitchen sink�h into an argument,MAKE YOUR SELF STOP. Instead of a rehash of the old stuff, YET AGAIN, take a new approach and head towards the conversation with gratitude. What did you learn from them? What did they learn from you? No anger. Just clarity.

Aries energy can de-evolve and dip into fight, fight, fight. OR Aries energy can be the master planner, initiator and strategic thinker plotting the path for the rest to follow.

Take that Aries energy and direct it towards initiating something, planning your big picture or getting something to start and go forward. What is the vision? Aries loves to have a plan! What is the plan?

Saturn retrograde has a sesquiquadrate to both Neptune and Ceres at the last degrees of Aquarius this week. The power or authority part of each of us is going to want to boss around the other guy�fs dream or plan to create the life they want to create. It is THEIR plan. It is not about your plan for their life. They have a perfect right to have their own plan for their own life. So be quiet already. Listen to their plan. Ask good and helpful questions to clarify what they are actually trying to do. And offer no criticisms or suggestions that could derail their plan.

Aries needs to have a plan. Make a plan rather than fighting about silly stuff.

And NO, they don�ft get to tell you THEIR plan for YOU. YOU say your plan for yourself. THEY say their plan for THEMSELVES. Then, some where in the middle of the TWO sets of plans, there are places where you join up with them and they join up with you.

Venus in Aquarius asks us to detach and not take things personally. When the other guy starts telling you what to do, thank them and ask them what their plan is for themselves. Don�ft argue with them that you don�ft want their plan for you. Ignore that part of the conversation. Focus on what the plan is that YOU want to do. Get them talking about their plan they have for themselves. No bossing you around about their plan for you!

Next week is a very, very difficult week. This week we have the opportunity to come up with a healing vision or plan that we can hold onto over the next couple of weeks when all hell breaks loose. So make sure to envision the vision.

When the World Trade Center blew up, my friend Pam was in the second tower. She woke up out of the shock she was in watching the fire burn and people jump to leave and evacuate when they said over the public address system �gThe building is safe. Don�ft leave!�h She left! She got out in time. The tower collapsed behind her, covering her with toxic concrete dust. All the long, long, long walk home, over 10 miles to 87th Street and First Avenue, Pam kept thinking about �gWalnut Creek�h ~ a house she had seen for sale on the internet the day before. That internet ad helped her get home. And now Walnut Creek is her home.

We all need a vision of what can happen in our future. Work on creating your vision this week. Venus joins with Neptune asking us for our vision. She�fs the gal in charge of getting us what our heart desires. So give Venus a list of your desires this week and let her get to work on them.

And yes, you read that right. All hell breaks loose over the next few weeks as Mars comes to join Uranus on the world axis and Neptune enters Pisces. So get your vision ~ at least a bit of crystal clear THIS WEEK so you can hold on to your vision over the next few weeks.
