Aspects for the week beginning 19 June 2011
I spent last week filling in at my old Office, and it’s funny the conversations that take place on the train. Some of my various fellow commuters informed me that they didn’t like tennis, cats or biographies – all subjects I was planning to write about in my blog. But first, the eclipse last week was definitive at least for Alkaida (my preferred spelling because of the Fixed Star Alkaid in Ursa Major), who appointed a new head last week: Ayman Al -Zawahiri. He was born on a full moon, with the Moon and Sun in the same positions as on last week’s full moon eclipse. It seems he was born to take over that role at that time. It does make me wonder whether the appointment was deliberately planned according to astrological information. Weather permitting, Wimbledon starts tomorrow, and I was hoping to blog about shining stars coming out for Andy Murray, but I can’t find any at a glance though I will keep looking, and hopefully updating as they arise. Predictably, Roger Federer and Serena Williams’ stars are looking good (again). This despite, in Serena’s case, Saturn moving through her 6th House of Health. Just after Wimbledon last year, she cut her foot on glass in Munich (with Pluto transiting the cusp of her 9th House of Foreign Lands and squaring her Sun right at the beginning of her 6th House of Health. Then in March this year, she suffered a pulmonary embolism, as Saturn transiting her Jupiter in the 6th House. She and Federer were born a few weeks apart in 1981, and both have the transiting North Node transiting their Neptune (feet) by the culmination of Wimbledon. They both have health issues, and North Node transiting Neptune could bring up issues of vulnerability, but I will plump for them doing well (and going for the record of unsuccessful Wimbledon predictions). At the end of last week I reported that Mercury, and therefore our nervous systems, would be a little vulnerable during the first half of this week. Today Mercury is opposed by Pluto, and re-wiring of communication equipment, both human and mechanical, will be going on. However, there are mitigating circumstances and spiritual reinforcements coming to our assistance, in the shape of Mercury trine Chiron. We are having sensitizing crises over the next few days, in order to find alternative new healing solutions arriving at more complex understandings, especially about health and communication. Mars enters Gemini on Tuesday (21st) which would be complex enough (your energies split into two directions) but for the fact that Mars is working its way towards a square with Neptune. During this period you need to be very, very, aware of both your energies and your communications, in order not to create messes which you then need to find the time and energy to clear later. A little mindfulness and thoughtfulness will go a long way to avoiding problems, and keeping in the forefront of your mind what you are doing, why, and what the consequences will be. Meditate in between, and you’ll be fine. Fortunately, I am not going to be working in the Office this week, and can apply these practices in the safety of my own home. The Sun enters Cancer later on Tuesday, and officially Summer starts, though there has been talk that Spring and Summer have switched places this year. Certainly Spring felt like Summer. Following that, Mercury squares Saturn, and there may be a certain stuckness or inertia in relation to communication. This can be related to travel, but also to verbal and written analysis. You may be in conversation with someone and both sound like a stuck record: you’ve been round and round with the same conversation ad nauseam, and have to leave the conversation there and retire to your individual corners of the boxing ring. According to the Observer this morning, tennis star Andy Murray has been taking advice from boxer David Haye, and he feels that it has helped his attitude. Conversations on Tuesday will reveal that no two people can think exactly alike or see exactly eye to eye, everyone’s spiritual path differs slightly from everyone else’s, and this is a point when we need to retire to our own thoughts and see where our thinking takes us. You will need that fine tuning for Wednesday (22nd) when Mars squares Neptune. This time it is not our thinking, but our energies and actions, which will reveal struggles for comprehension and where we need to understand complexities. It is a time to become in tune with our physicality in order to understand how we interact with our world. There are likely to be outbreaks of clumsiness, but also sensitive lessons learned. If there are upsets, solutions may be forthcoming later with the Neptune trining the Sun. There is a chance to integrate the lessons, e.g. the old chestnut that mobile phones and water don’t mix (how many times…?). Saturday (25th) gives us a lovely sextile between the Sun and Jupiter. Could be a winning moment for some. As Lot Pod Cod (short for Lottery Pod Co-ordinator) for an officially registered syndicate of three, will I be able to inform the others that their lives are about to change? Sun sextile Jupiter isn’t a life-changer, but it will help.

I’ve already been setting the conditions up for this week – communications already difficult, so I hope there can be some real healing emerging from it. or should I just shut my eyes and wait for the sextile to reveal all?

Last year you predicted:
“I am not a betting sort, but if I were to twist my arm I would go for Venus Williams and Roger Federer as 2010 champions”.
You were wrong…..

Dear Sinhagupta
No, don’t shut your eyes and lie back and think of the sextile, you are doing well as you are working with it, and the sextile will consequently work better…! The book “Embracing Uncertainty” by Susan Jeffers would be suitable at this time. I don’t necessarily always find the answers I need there, but it helps to pass this sort of time.
All the best, and take care,
Love

Dear Jonas
Thank you for pointing that out!
I will try to do better this year, but was surprised that I plumped again for Roger Federer! You’d have thought I’d learned my lesson.
Enjoy Wimbledon!
Love

I think I’m practicing my new post lunar eclipse insight and continuing in a gentle, flowing sort of way. Mind, I might have upset someone and not realised, but I hope not. Delays, of a nice sort as in being with friends, has meant it’s Tuesday before I read the aspects for this week. Thanks Lana for continued wide ranging information, (and I’ll keep a watch out for anything special on Saturday), love Sarah

Dear Sarah
Thank you for kindly updating the eclipse process. I should add that the second eclipse, which was on my Sun produced a healing meditation.
Every day provides a new opportunity to possibly upset someone, and today I was involved in most complex social situations with magnified opportunities of that nature. Somehow all was unified instead, much to my relief.
Have a good week,
Love

A brief brief on the state of the Colonies as I dash down some lunch on the way to meet TWO people at my office (neither a patient, and the import being that I don’t go into the office on Wednesdays, well I didn’t used to).
Yesterday I was included in the most amazing situation. An expectant, and overdue, Mother sought me out for induction of labour. I told her I’m not trained in that, but that I COULD give her a treatment that would relax her, would include traditional induction points and would probably have good effect. I honestly thought she’d go find one of my colleagues but she chose to come to me.
So I escorted her to the treatment room and began the treatment. Up to this point, she’d only had “fake” contractions (the ones with no pain that aren’t really an indication of labour). After about 30 minutes of acupuncture treatment (and me talking to the baby telling him it was OKAY to comeo n out), I came back to ask if she wanted a pee break, and she said “Oh, no, I think I’m done now – I just had a HUGE contraction, and this one was real”. I sent her on her way, with the agreement that she’d come in today if no baby – and got the call this morning, she’s in full labour!
I have the best job!
How humbling that this family (because it wasn’t just her deciding to try acupuncture) picked me to be a part of this amazing experience.
In other news, it’s getting on to be full summer here – days went from grey and 60s to over 100 – overnight (cough cough gasp). I could use a little Spring for Summer. The roses are happy though.
My foot has mostly healed and now I’m getting my mind back (who knew breaking a foot would have such an effect on one’s mind?!)
My step-father continues to dither about staying where he is and moving to a situation where he’d have companionship.
The dogs are all well and happy, although Ms Nellie, being a Canadian, is suffering more that the others with this heat.
Next week I should have a revamped website with new photos of the office AND Ms Nell working her gentle therapy magic. Oh, yeah, and me too.
Best of luck to the Lot Pod – hope y’all win big.
*hugs*

P.S. – Forgot the most exciting thing of all – I hired an assistant and am absolutely convinced she’s one of the organisational goddesses doing a little publc service. Seriously, she’s amazing in ways that normal humnas just, er, normally aren’t. I’m sure there will be more updates on her. Right now I’m just basking in the peace of having help.
Ironically, she tells me I’m organised – hah, not compared to her!
Yay, more *hugs* –

Oh, the Lana Pod, join me in a prayer for strength. (and forgive me my spelling errors, they’re stress induced)
My step-father didn’t notice a gas leak in his house (he’s okay) and now I’m sitting here waiting for the Gas Company to diagnose the issue (which is turning out to be much more massive than first thought. Gas is leaking up from the soil…eeeeek!) – with him (courtesy of liquid courage) getting more and more beligerant.
On the plus side, almost dying from gas exposure seems to be the push he needs to move out of here and into a more reasonable living situaiton.
Thanks for being there – even if you are miles and miles away. Being able to pour this out to you is helping hugely.
*hugs* from sunny SoCal –

Dear Dia
Just back from my travels…
Of course, my thoughts are with you, and hopefully the thoughts of others reading this blog. It does sound very sinister in the manner of this week’s square between Mars and Neptune (gas leaks) which maybe aspects your step-father’s chart directly. Please keep us tuned.
I didn’t know about your foot, either…hope that is healing well.
Glad to hear you are making progress on other fronts.
Look after yourself,
Love
Lana
