There are big forces at work in the sky this week, most notably, the fourth exact contact of the Uranus-Pluto square (the aspect defining this era) on Friday. A number of other planets are interacting with Uranus and Pluto (and with each other) from various areas of the chart, imparting the sense that life is in motion internally and externally, from several dimensions — making this a week to stay conscious, alert and active in the choices you make.
As Eric said as we discussed this astrology, “Do it while you can.”
We’re still between two eclipses, making this week ‘special’ already in terms of the potential for you to move your life ahead in new directions by leaps and bounds. To have Uranus and Pluto make exact contact with each other, plus with several powerful planets in various ways all at once, suggests that there really are openings for moving things forward — and they need to be taken.
Although the sky always offers new opportunities to approach a challenge from a new direction or to make a discovery about yourself, this astrology will not be in effect forever. The solar eclipse on Nov. 3 and the Sun’s conjunction to Saturn three days later imply a time limit. This is not meant to provoke fear of ‘getting it wrong’ or missing an opportunity; there really is no way to ‘get it wrong’ as long as you’re doing what you can to use what you know.
With several significant planets in water signs, staying sensitive to your intuition is an important factor. Large, oceanic forces are in motion, and to flow with the current (or conversely, keep from getting swept away by your emotions), you have to let yourself feel it and understand the power involved.
Subsequent blog posts this week will get into more of the details of various aspects, but here are a few highlights.
