I have become fixated about cucumbers lately.\u00a0 If you have been following this blog, you\u2019ll know that a phobic party of four went to the Eurovision Song Contest in Duesseldorf in mid-May, at the time of the E-coli outbreak in Northern Germany.\u00a0 So we had a lucky escape, considering we all had a salad at Cologne Airport on 15th<\/sup> May before flying home.\u00a0 As the only vegetarian, I was presented with a huge Greek Salad dominated with huge chunks of what must have been a whole cucumber on my plate, which I did my level best to do justice to.\u00a0 As an aspiring raw-fooder, this E-coli crisis has been a blow to my aspirations, and how much I can trust the raw food I have come to regard as the pinnacle of my daily intake.\u00a0 This week I have been haunted, and pursued in my dreams, by raw foods and in particular cucumbers.\u00a0 I have scanned the website of Karen Knowler (dubbed \u201cThe World\u2019s Premier Raw Food Coach\u201d) http:\/\/www.karenknowler.typepad.com\/<\/a> to find her take on this dilemma, but cannot find any guidance there on the matter, despite some interesting articles on her blog.\u00a0 I need to know how to reorientate myself spiritually on this issue.\u00a0 Mercury is square to Chiron today, so healing dilemmas continue, in search of that spiritual reorientation which will reward the effort and settle the personality, until the next crisis which might be Wednesday.\u00a0 The next two days is suitable for finding the right consciousness to match a new level of physical and mental health, for Mercury represents conventional healing (as represented by the Caduceus symbol) and Chiron represents alternative healing (as represented by the symbol of the Centaur).\u00a0 These two may be at odds over the next two days, and our task is to bring them together.\u00a0 A new plateau of stability is reached on Tuesday (7th<\/sup>), when Mercury (representing conventional healing) trines Saturn (representing stability and consolidation).\u00a0 This is a foothold on the new reality that you need right now, which appeals directly to your left brain rationality and to your practicality.\u00a0 For instance, you may find a reliable local source of cucumbers, which comes as a relief.\u00a0 If you are meeting over coffee or tea on that day, suitable conversations on the agenda would be serious topics, e.g. about coalition politics and its effect on the NHS, or how to proceed with your new healing philosophy recently hatched from the struggles of Mercury square Chiron.\u00a0 Wednesday (8th<\/sup>) brings a reorientation of Chiron, going stationary prior to retrograde.\u00a0 There may be U-turns in the area of alternative health, which is unusual.\u00a0 We have U-turns and contradictory research all the time in the area of conventional health (this is good for you, this is not good for you, this is now good for you again).\u00a0 But alternative health is often based on ancient and intuitive wisdoms, which don\u2019t change much, except in their modern application.\u00a0 So this is part of the process of a shift, which happens from time to time, to incorporate the new energies and vibrations and update alternative views and our spiritual systems.\u00a0 Keep your inner and outer ears pealed for new information or the recycling of old information, on the subject of healing.\u00a0 By far the most important aspect of the week occurs on Thursday (9th<\/sup>) and here, with a sparkling sextile between Jupiter and Neptune, there is a real opportunity for a spiritual shift.\u00a0 If you are involved in any religious ceremonies, you will see the spirituality behind them.\u00a0 If you are involved in any spiritual ceremonies, you may be able to see how the religious structures sit within them.\u00a0 This major aspect is an exchange of unity on a higher level, and a vision of hope.\u00a0 If you are not involved in any spiritual or religious ceremonies on Thursday, anything you are engaged in can be used to sense the energies of hope, unity and spirituality.\u00a0 If you are celebrating a birthday, you can ponder and wonder at the mysteries of bringing a soul into incarnation.\u00a0 If you are wandering around an art gallery, you can see the connection between the inspiration of the soul of the artist and the practical production and depiction in colour and form on canvas.\u00a0 Preferably do this in the morning, while Venus is still in Taurus, for in the afternoon in the U.K. (with respectful mindfulness to my U.S. and Australian readership) Venus (art and harmony) enters Gemini.\u00a0 You could go round the art gallery again, and see it from the Venus in Gemini perspective, less on the feeling plane and more analysis on the mental plane (\u201cWhat was the artist trying to achieve?\u00a0 But is it art?\u201d).\u00a0 You may evolve a more rounded perspective that way.\u00a0 So whatever you were doing in the morning, if you have the time and leisure to repeat the performance in the afternoon, you\u2019ll end up with a holistic perspective.\u00a0 Feelings could change during the course of the day, and different social scenarios and populations could emerge later.\u00a0 If you are a tour guide, you would be herding buffalos in the morning, and butterflies in the afternoon and will need a different approach.\u00a0 Finally, by Friday, socially and artistically, you\u2019ll be confused by a square between Venus and Neptune.\u00a0 You\u2019ll find a flaw in the painting you bought yesterday, you\u2019ll be pondering an artistic dichotomy digesting your activities of the previous day.\u00a0 And as Venus also represents food and cooking and Neptune represents toxins, you need to select carefully what you are putting on the menu.\u00a0 The cucumber question remains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
