The week begins with the Moon in Virgo. The rising crescent has been visible around the world the past few nights. It’s been less than a week since the Gemini New Moon and five days since the Sun ingressed Cancer. The Sun is now making contact with the Uranus-Pluto square, expressing the energy contained in that aspect. (All week the Sun is square Uranus and opposite Pluto, which is a way of saying that the Sun gives a mode of focused expression to something that is like a background energy.)<\/p>\n

That is the aspect — Sun, Uranus, Pluto — that sets the tone of the next few days. We are now in the first of seven exact contacts of the Uranus-Pluto square, which was exact on Sunday and remains so today and indeed for weeks. This aspect is a turning point in a cycle that began in 1965 with the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo, and we can look back to that time for information about how to consider our lives now. <\/p>\n

We may see the first political repercussions of the square Monday, with the Supreme Court expected to issue several key decisions this week, including one on the health care reform law that went through in late 2010 and another ruling on Arizona’s laws cracking down on Mexicans in the US.<\/p>\n

With Jupiter square Neptune, there’s a reminder to keep an eye on what we’re not usually looking at; Neptune often represents what is invisible to the eye but which has an effect. Jupiter is one of the planetary significators of the higher courts and the concept of justice. As any constitutional lawyer can tell you, we Americans really do underestimate the influence of the Supreme Court on our lives. This is a small, secretive branch of government, consisting of very few people appointed for life, which can render decisions that change the face of society with their unquestionable actions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jupiter can also represent international affairs. The theme of economics right now is the influence of multinational banks on the whole economy, and of countries on one another. Is there a clue that we may be expecting some news from banking? Yes, in the form of both Saturn and Venus stationing direct within two days of one another — Monday and Wednesday, respectively. They are connected by the synchronicity of the timing, and through Libra, where Saturn is located and which Venus rules.<\/p>\n

Both of these changes will serve as energy release points, as held-back feelings, plans and situations begin to shift into forward motion. Whatever influence this may have in the dimension known as the news or politics, the two square aspects point to inner movement first and worldly affairs second. That’s another way of saying the revolution begins within.<\/p>\n

One of the critiques of the 1960s is that the revolution, thought and action were dedicated to the outside first — that is, to changing the world. In our era we’re being called to turn that energy onto ourselves, and to be clear about the understanding that if we as individuals don’t grow and make progress, there’s little chance that our efforts in the world can make real changes.<\/p>\n

Using this idea would indeed be common sense, and I am starting to recognize the conscious craving in many people as well as see the expression of this astrology as a less bashful approach to self-curiosity, the desire to go deep and the liberated feeling of desire. <\/p>\n

Jupiter square Neptune is part the desire to feel good, and it’s also about how good it feels to be honest with oneself.<\/p>\n

It’s accurate to say that this astrology can work simply on the level of getting us distracted Westerners to consciously crave life and the feeling of being alive. No need to wait for something to happen.<\/p>\n

We could go a long way on that one — taking one another with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
