Aspects for the week beginning 13 September 2009

For this week’s challenging aspects you will need as your manual “Heal Your Life” by Louise L. Hay.  The accompanying song, which I am hoping we will sing at Sound Pod tonight (the theme is Strength) is “Whatever gets you through the night.”  by John Lennon (1974): “Whatever gets you through the night.  It’s alright, s’alright.  It’s your money or your life, It’s alright, s’alright.  Don’t need a sword to cut through flowers, oh no, oh no…”  Venus opposes Chiron tomorrow, Monday 14.  This is looking at the vulnerability in relationship, the holding of each other’s soul, and how healing needs to be achieved.  The major aspect of the week occurs on Tuesday (15) with the third pass of the Saturn-Uranus opposition.  This is the aspect responsible for the dismantling of institutions which first occurred on 4 November last year, then returned on 5 February.  I have blogged on the bigger picture separately, but in your own life what issues were current around those times and how did you deal with them?  The issue now may be a continuation, or it may be a fresh strand to work on.  The good news  is that you will have been feeling the changes for some time, and will have some idea of what is going on for you, and aware of the need to access your intuition.  Know what you need to keep in your life, and why, and what you need to change, and why, and how that can constructively be achieved. “…Whatever gets you through your life, It’s alright, s’alright.  Do it wrong or do it right, It’s alright, s’alright.  Don’t need a watch to waste your time, oh no, oh no…”  Even if you have a handle on Saturn opposing Uranus and lifestyle changes, there are emotional complexities attendant on this day, on top of this, for Venus opposes Neptune.  If you don’t have enough emotional complexity in your life, or you don’t have enough emotional complexity in this lifetime, you can contemplate those in past lives and/or read my blog offering on the Pre-Raphaelites from a couple of days ago.  Slogging (sorry I mean blogging) on this week, the Sun opposes Uranus on Thursday (17) which may bring mini-aftershocks from the main event of the week, or if you are receptive some illumination on the issues.  Mercury also squares Pluto on that day, presenting mental challenges.  Health and ecology are very much on the agenda, plus technology and communication wrangles, and Mother Nature may choose the time to step in and make a statement of her own this week.  Be receptive to the messages of the Universe, and if the messages are negative then you need to firmly dismiss the way of paranoia after politely listening, and ask for more enlightened, all-inclusive and heart-centred ways of thinking, seeing and doing.  Finally, on the same day, the Sun conjuncts Saturn, a dose of reality and a summing up of conclusions regarding the week’s trials and tribulations.  You need to cut your suit according to the current stock of cloth oddments you might have, and get a good night’s sleep for a fresh start in the morning.  No good crying over spilt milk.  Friday (18) dawns with a little hope and possibility, we’re all older and wiser, and Mercury has moved from lyrical Libra temporarily back to prosaic Virgo, when we might be inclined to cut out the poetry (for the time being – some of us can’t live without it) and focus on what needs to be done.  Mercury in Virgo will engage brain with action at least on behalf of the planet, so it will be a good day for recycling and ecological projects.  And later in the day the New Moon in Virgo helps us to realize that in intention at least we are on purpose with our aims of cleaning up the planet, and cleaning up our personal act.  We just need to remember that when we are faced with temptation to excess, such as the row of muffins next to the coffee counter on Cambridge railway station.  You will need your rock chick armour this week, and for Lennon’s last lyric: “Whatever gets you to the light, It’s alright, s’alright.  Out the blue or out of sight, It’s alright, s’alright.  Don’t need a gun to blow your mind, oh no, oh no.”  You really don’t.  All you need is Love…
