\u00a0I am not privy to Twitter, and don\u2019t follow football, so may not have heard of the footballer in question.\u00a0 Venus conjunct Mars is an intense aspect, occurring in the sensual sign of Taurus, whereby we may examine our own male-female balance in our life.\u00a0 On a personal level, for some it may bring romance and affection.\u00a0 Wednesday (25<sup>th<\/sup>) brings to us a different way of looking at life, with Sun sextile Uranus.\u00a0 For those whose lives haven\u2019t yet been fully revealed, there may be further revelations.\u00a0 For inventors, there may be new inventions.\u00a0 Incidents of telepathy and synchronicity may be noticed and noted.\u00a0 It is a day when you can use the lever of the unexpected to improve your life.\u00a0 On Thursday (26<sup>th<\/sup>) the Sun squares Chiron, so there may be some uncomfortable healing crises or learnings on the spiritual path.\u00a0 I will be off to the Festival of Mind-Body-Spirit in London that day, to attend a workshop on past lives and another workshop on future lives, so I may not know whether I am coming or going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a week where Venus and Mars have been interacting closely, the issue of rape has been very much in the news, and other issues of the relations between the sexes.\u00a0 The first character to bring the issue to prominence this week was Dominique Strauss-Kahn, high profile all week.\u00a0 He has a testosterone-filled conjunction of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
