Aspects for the week beginning 12 September 2010
One of the themes of last week was inflammation and conflagration: there was an explosion and conflagration at San Bruno in California, and the threat of religious books being burned in the name of religion. You may have also noticed people’s feelings being touchy, including your own. This is still the background effect of the aspect Jupiter square Pluto. In some psyches incendiary matters may have been touched off by Mars trine Neptune last week, but by and large this is the larger transit going on. Brian Dowling, winner of Big Brother 2001, was crowned Ultimate Big Brother 2010 on Friday night. Like all the old-time housemates, he had mellowed, but he deserved the crown for the number of hours listening and quantity of tears shed on his shoulder by the poor distressed Chantelle at the loss of the love of Preston. Another Mars trine Neptune manifestation, where Mars = a male win and Neptune = his compassionate qualities. I am no mathematician but I did used to like algebraic equations. And while I am on that theme, it seems to me that the following just doesn’t add up:-
UK Government cuts to the disabled in order to get them back to work
+ cutting jobs in the public sector
= enough jobs for the disabled
Before I leave the past behind and look to the week ahead, a friend brought to my notice last night that there had been a UFO hovering over my home town, earlier this year. A green object was apparently photographed above Denver windmill, near Downham Market, Norfolk. It may have been a spacecraft from Mars says Benjamin Creme’s Master, according to Share International who monitors these things, and is an organization dedicated to the coming of Maitreya. I was sorry to have missed it. Now today we have a sextile between Venus and Pluto, as I write. Venus is in Scorpio and Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so it is a good time to feel into your deepest emotions and to discover what lies in that region of your psyche and possibly also beyond. I am reading “The Future in the Stars” by Alison Chester-Lambert which is about Pluto and the asteroids. She reports: “Interestingly, in 2008, a report in New Scientist suggested that the planets Ceres and Pluto were once one body, or at least originated from the same place, in spite of the fact that there is a distance of up to four billion kilometers and four planets in between them.” She urges those (like me) who have never got over the demotion of Pluto to a dwarf planet to – well – get over it. There is life after Pluto’s death, and it is all written in the asteroids and in the Kuiper Belt. Watch this space. Excuse me while I dab my tears, once again. Tonight, Mercury is stationary, prior to turning direct, and those who have been plagued by encounters of the retrograde kind lately will be relieved as their path runs smoother in the realms of communication. On Tuesday (14th), Pluto himself turns stationary, prior to turning direct (where’s that hanky…) and psychological issues may start to drive into healthier waters, whatever methods you choose: cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamics, spiritual systems, or for some exercise-induced ecstasy at the gym. The same evening, and driving home the psychological theme, Mars enters Scorpio. If you haven’t been honing your Inner Warrior during recent inflammations and conflagrations, you need to have him or her ready to stand up for yourself and state your authentic truth. Mars will be in Scorpio until 27 October and as Venus is also in that territory, no one will be able to evade their deepest self during that time. Everyone will be richer for that self-knowledge by the end of October. It is time for self-awareness, and these are personal planets so these are personal issues. With everyone wondering how Colleen is feeling after Wayne Rooney’s deceptions, and Gavin Hanson declaring on Strictly Come Dancing that his personal life is in turmoil, it is balancing our own personal lives and our male and female issues which we are now under pressure to understand. Limber up for next Sunday, which has a dynamic energy, including the return of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. There has been a plea for more news of my grandson. All I can say is that he’s still gorgeous (reportedly)…and I have been working on multiple baby charts in the last few weeks. So I decided to post an abridged version of Florence Cameron’s astrological analysis in three parts – hope you enjoy it.

Goodness Lana…. well that was an interesting read…. from politics to Big Brother plus the inflammatory existence of Pastor Jones…. one can only imagine what was said to him by the US government behind closed doors! I am SO glad it is to be a week of connecting with our deepest selves…. I do hope it will not be a painful experience. Do you you have any advice on this? Should we go with the flow and just let it unfold…. I feel that’s all I can possibly do these days…. things/I am as I am….Your grandson is beautiful…. any chance of a photo on here? Thanks as ever…. hanky in hand waiting for the next flow of tears…. love Flick 🙂

Dear Flick
This may not sound very helpful, but I don’t think formulas work. It varies according to the person and the time or situation. Very often if we try one thing and it doesn’t work the opposite does work. In meditation sometimes tradition soothes the way into the required state of mind, but sometimes the subconscious mind likes to be surprised in order to produce something new or more advanced. Nothing can be forced, but centring and surrendering always take you in the right direction. Venus and Mars transits in Scorpio will be working on a daily basis on these issues, but of themselves they would not produce painful crises. If such were to occur they would be the action of the T-square. No need for too much angst this week.
As for photos I personally do not have the technology! And I am not on Facebook…
Love
Lana

It was as I began to feel good on Saturday that I realised previously I had not, and I think it’s Mercury – possibly slowing, and nearly direct again so that today has been the best for some time. Yesterday was good too, so I’m hoping this trend lasts for a bit. Perhaps help me with some deeply deep inner stuff, ha. Mind Lana, our Light pod on Friday helped me too, and thanks for continued insightful aspects information, love Sarah. p.s. I often see wonderful sky activity over Downham, like clouds or sun sets, but not spotted any UFOs. Yet.

Greetings, Sarah
It’s rainy and cloudy here at the moment, so not good UFO viewing conditions…
Wishing you both a good week,
Love

Belated greetings from So Cal. Is it only Tuesday? (And here I realise I inadvertently echo Robin McKinley in her blog today). I know I’m not the only person saying this – is this temporal dislocation a Plutonian thing?
Things have been good busy here. I certainly saw the pause-then-direct Mercury change, in spades. I’ve had a bunch of phone calls from patients who all said basically “I’ve been meaning to get in touch with you but . . .” I also had a gentleman call Saturday in agony. Wasn’t able to help him then, but arranged to see him Sunday. I think that has to be a fortuitous communication! At the same time, I see some lingering Mercury retrograde in the post-it notes that just surfaced, with names & phone numbers on them. People who DIDN’T quite get calls back. (Bad Dia, no biscuit).
And speaking of biscuits, our new dog has arrived from Canada. She’s doing well (the whole story is blogged at http://www.ydraigkennels.com/YDraigNews, and that I’m able to blog HAS to show some positive mercury action, right Lana?)
Hope this finds you all well and happy –

Dear Dia
We had missed you in the ten days since we last heard from you!
Thank you for the Virgoan/Mercurial detailed documentation of Mercury turning. Sarah is a Gemini/Mercury. Another friend noticed a notable sputtering of her computer while Mercury was stationed, and then it went back to normal when Mercury had turned.
Had to look up Robin McKinley (thank you for enlarging our literary horizons!) but you must be thrilled with your new arrival. It has been lovely to revisit your doggie blog.
Love
Lana
