Friday June 02, 2023

The Moon creates a Grand Water Trine today just as the Venus-Neptune trine completes. The 'Water' influences help to erode some of the most stubborn 'Fixed' elements in this atmosphere. However, we are likely to have to wait for clear breakthroughs until after tomorrow evening's Sagittarius Full Moon (8:41 PM PDT 13° Sagittarius/Gemini). Today's emotions may allow for openings to develop but don't offer anything like clear, pragmatic strategies. This is more as though a relief valve is allowing a great deal of 'Steam Pressure' to be released — and the effects may be surprising or unexpected. Nonetheless, innovative new ideas are just around the corner.



Weekly Summary

MAY 28 - JUNE 3

"They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief
But you're going to have to serve somebody, yes indeed'"

— Bob Dylan - "Gotta Serve Somebody"

Last week's powerful Fixed T-square with Mars, Pluto, and Jupiter — as it approached the North Node — has fostered this week's intense, determined, ego-driven desire for independence and self-reliance. Mars, now in confidence-boosting Leo, has escaped the initial challenges of the opposition to Pluto but now faces a tricky quincunx from Saturn in Pisces. Essentially, the challenge from Saturn asks us to consider and balance the needs of others with our own personal ambitions and aspirations. Such challenges and considerations effectively block any sort of expedient resolutions. The issues of blending the demands of the material world with spiritual reality are at the heart of this week's tension. Compassion and connection — and the importance of compromise — may seem to be stumbling blocks that are in the way of individual achievement and the gratification of our individual egos. But there doesn't seem to be an easy way to simply ignore the 'greater good' here and so we may find ourselves on the defensive, displaying obvious arrogance, rather than honest acknowledgement of our connection to something 'larger than ourselves'. Vesta makes a conjunction to Uranus on Tuesday, creating additional intensity, along with increased demands for the sacrifice of our personal ambitions. The questions that are raised seem to destroy any hope for expedience, keeping quick, easy solutions out of reach. Any attempts at decisiveness tend to look more like impulsiveness rather than providing any clear sense of direction. Mercury escapes the shadow of the last retrograde period midweek. While we may begin to think about new possibilities, there may also be a rather uneasy feeling that we have entered 'uncharted territory'. By Thursday, Jupiter — the linchpin of last week's T-square — arrives at the North Node and serves to help ease the tension and unlock some of the stressful, ego-driven complications. A Venus-Neptune trine is punctuated by Friday's Scorpio Moon, creating a Grand Water Trine, which further erodes the stubborn, fixed-sign grip on our consciousness. In some way or another, a 'relief valve' is opened enough to release the pressure. The Sagittarius Full Moon (8:41 PM PDT 13° Sagittarius/Gemini) at the end of the week, which will be followed up by a Mercury-Uranus conjunction, will begin to allow us to find new insights and new ways of balancing personal independence with the principle of 'loving thy neighbor'.

Sunday's distractions create an impatient desire to help others just enough to get them out of our way. Showing compassion may be only a means to an end. Compassion or consideration for others seems inconvenient on Monday. Making sacrifices to find common ground is especially unappealing. The need for sacrifice and balance intensifies on Tuesday. Careful, methodical consideration is needed. New information may confuse us. We may feel that we are in 'uncharted territory' on Wednesday. Pride may produce defensiveness but spontaneous breakthroughs are possible in the evening. Tensions seem to subside a bit on Thursday. However, we aren't especially inclined to openly share our vulnerabilities in order to fully clear the air. A 'relief valve' is opened on Friday, allowing a great deal of 'Steam Pressure' to be released. However, we don't see many true breakthroughs. Balance and awareness are easier to find on Saturday. We are more comfortable blurring the lines between personal freedom and the 'greater good'.

Saturday June 03, 2023

We somehow seem to find hints of true, actual, evolutionary progress today despite the intensity of our personal ego ambitions and the persistent desire for expedience in achieving them. We can begin to understand exactly why we need to allow the lines between individual freedom and the 'greater good' to blur enough to establish connections with those around us. The meaning and impact of Saturn's transit through Pisces has begun to truly take shape in our lives as we struggle to blend the material tangible world with spiritual reality. Despite the uncertainty and chaos of tonight's Sagittarius Full Moon (8:41 PM PDT 13° Sagittarius/Gemini), we can begin to see the importance of relying on deeper spiritual principles of connection, compassion, and acceptance. The forming Mercury-Uranus conjunction, which will complete tomorrow, is offering new insights about how to balance independent 'self-reliance' with the principle of loving 'thy neighbor'.

Sunday June 04, 2023

Our minds are strongly activated by today's Mercury-Uranus conjunction but there may not be as much rational, logical consideration as we might hope. We are likely to be especially reliant on our environment due to the highly impressionable nature of this atmosphere. In many ways, the pressure has been relieved, following last night's Sagittarius Full Moon (8:41 PM PDT 13° Sagittarius/Gemini) but the Moon is heading into a particularly confusing square to Neptune this evening. We may not be able to clearly describe the insights that we are finding, leaving our message subject to misinterpretation or manipulation. The Moon goes VOC this evening at 8:23 PM PDT but will arrive in Capricorn shortly after midnight.



Weekly Summary

JUNE 4 - JUNE 10

"Let us not envy those who stand higher than we do: what look like towing heights are precipices. … Indeed there are many who are forced to cling to their pinnacle because they cannot descend without falling…"
— Seneca"

The week begins with a Mercury-Uranus conjunction, also involving the asteroid Vesta. The presence of Vesta helps us to pare away unnecessary or unworkable elements and focus on important new information and new intellectual insights. We might hope that some intellectual insight and clarity begins to provide us with a more definitive sense of purpose. Unfortunately, we are more likely to struggle to clearly deliver our message or convey the insights that Mercury and Uranus are revealing. Venus joins Mars in Leo early this week, once again setting off the lingering effects of the fixed sign T-Square involving Jupiter and Pluto. Although Venus may not be nearly as abrasive as Mars, there are still likely to be plenty of vulnerabilities to sort through. As well, Venus begins to head towards the same quincunx that Mars made with Saturn last week, further exacerbating concerns over 'appearances' — what others think about us. We also continue to struggle to appropriately blend tangible, material concerns with spiritual principles — compassion, humility, acceptance. A three-way mutual reception between the Sun, Mercury, and Venus does help to to keep the unruly, confusing atmosphere somewhat under control. However, our individual personal environment is extremely important here. We are likely to find that we are quite impressionable and vulnerable to the attitudes and opinions of others. But if we spend too much time worrying about what others think, we'll miss some of the most important opportunities for growth that are offered. At times, there is a feeling that we are isolated inside of a rather fragile 'shell' or we may feel inclined to keep others 'at arms length' in order to guard our personal feelings. In fact, detachment may actually begin to help us to find some clarity and perspective. At times, a sense of mission takes over and gives us a clearer sense of purpose. By the end of the week, closeness and intimacy begins to feel rather dangerous or a threat to our individual freedom. Nonetheless, The Moon's transit through Pisces helps us to hear the 'still, small voice' of intuition, offering important clues about how to balance our concerns over tangible, material progress with a broader, spiritual perspective. When we set aside the intense concern on choosing the one proper course of action and simply deal with what is directly in front of us, our progress will be significant.

Our minds are activated on Sunday but it isn't easy to bring as much rational consideration as we would like. We aren't able to clearly articulate our message, leading to misinterpretation or manipulation. Material resources and personal 'status' are the major concern on Monday. Temptations and distractions keep us from finding our footing. A sense of 'mission' helps to keep us on track on Tuesday. Compassion and concern for others helps us to stay stabilized. We find some important detachment on Wednesday, giving us the chance to 'gather our wits'. However, our thinking may start to become somewhat rigid. There's a strong chance for some kind of 'rebel without a cause' situation on Thursday. We are especially impressionable and our general environment influences our overall perspective. There is finally some space for deeper and more thoughtful consideration on Friday. Individual isolation feels safer than working alongside of others. There is a desire to maintain an 'arms length' distance from others on Saturday. Closeness and intimacy may feel dangerous or a threat to our individual freedom.
