WILD WEEK AHEAD WITH SEVEN HEAVENLY BODIES IN ARIES, FORGING AHEAD! VENUS HUGS SEDNA IN GEMINI, AND URANUS GOES IN FOR THE GROUP HUG! HELLLP!
The week begins with a mini grand trine with Saturn/Neptune/Mars in Aries as the apex and Pluto in Aquarius and Sedna in Gemini in the base. More excitingly, or unfortunately, depends on your point of view, Venus AND Uranus in Gemini will join Sedna’s side Friday and Saturday. Sedna always goofs up and says okay, then thinks the better of it. In addition, Venus, contrary to popular belief, is not always loving. The word venison is derived from her name, because she was originally a hunter, like Diana. I’ve seen her show up in the combined charts of shooter and victim—there is always a Venus link, indicating a karmic contract originating in love but obviously going awry. Ah, Fate!
Once Mercury and the Moon move into Aries, we will have seven—count ‘em! celestial bodies hanging out together! In impulsive Aries, who often has a temper, and with fiery Sagittarian Lilith duking it out with Saturn trying to contain her, I think more likely Saturn will start training her in war games, and she is primed for it. Remember that Uranus moving into Gemini makes me hear Bugs Bunny say, “This means war!” I wish it were funny, but no. Astrologers have seen this too often. Like every 84 years since this country was born. Not to mention the lineup of planets in Aries being similar to what happened in 1821—Napoleon’s Waterloo. By the way, the bro was dead by May 5th. Is it too much to hope for?
As the week begins, Jupiter in Cancer is sextiling Venus in Taurus. This is not romantic, folks. She just gets offered some opportunities that she will take and later regret. How do I know that? If she starts hanging with Sedna and Uranus, that’s bound to happen, and unfortunately for us, we may find their collision —or hug—to be unexpected. Why’s that? Uranus is a disruptor. Uranus will have a last-ditch hurrah in Taurus—I’m expecting either earth issues (earthquake?) or banking issues. (so what’s new?) When I say “banking issues” and “the unexpected” in the same sentence, what does that make you think of? Yeah. Me, too. Fortunately, I don’t play the markets. And also, I know how to live broke. I’ve had lots of experience in that. Thank God for my Depression Era parents, God bless ‘em!
The Finger of Fate (YOD) pointed at South Node (we have been here before) by Pluto in Aquarius (transformation by revolution) and Saturn in Aries (forcing ourselves to move into unknown territory)—still holds on this week. The Finger of Fate, Get that, guys. Dunh dunh dunh. If all of this sounds dire, know that it is.
So, how can we survive it? We can’t ask the New Moon to save us/ She will meet the Sun at 27 degrees 28 minutes early on Friday morning in the USA. The Sabian symbolism is A large disappointed audience. I’ll say! New moons are about beginnings. New Moon in Aries is about…well, duh, looks like war, ey?
But let’s be positive for a minute. You could start a new business. You could take a trip somewhere you haven’t been before. You could go on a Spirit Walk. (While you’re there, don’t forget to pray for us all!)
Or, as I have told my many students: Go somewhere you haven’t been before. You don’t have to get on a plane or go bungee jumping. Go to the park. Go to the zoo. Go to a restaurant you haven’t been. Take a new class in something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t. Go to a concert, the ballet, a play. Take a risk. It doesn’t have to be a big risk. Just do something new.
And all that Aries is good for patriotism and protests, y’all, especially in connection with Pluto in Aquarius. Just like there was nothing more SUPER ARIEN than that diverse crew of astronauts going farther than any of us have been before, so it is that this is absolutely the most patriotic year the US has ever seen—and I don’t mean because it’s the 250th anniversary. I mean, Aries is about independent individuals who think for themselves, standing up to SAY what they think and DO something about it. Aries is idealistic and creative. Think of those protestors in Portland who protested nonviolently by dressing up like unicorns and dinosaurs and dancing in the streets. Be creative. Touch the spark of yourself and fan the flame.
You are the new Revolutionary War person. You are the new patriot. You are the new sons and daughters of the revolution, today’s revolution. Whatcha gonna do about it? How about, JUST SAY NO. TAKE A STAND. And get out your unicorn costume.
THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT WILL INVESTIGATE THESE AQUARIAN ASTRONAUTS AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO SWERVE AWAY FROM WAR AND MOVE INSTEAD INTO ACTION!.
