Meanwhile the International Monetary Fund came back into prominence in the news last week. The natal Venus (which represents money) of the International Monetary Fund lies exactly at the Galactic Centre, which is very appropriate for such an Institution.\u00a0 This week Christine Lagarde was appointed the new Head of the IMF, close to the New Moon eclipse which fell exactly opposite her natal Sun.\u00a0 Transiting Saturn was exactly trine her natal Venus (ability to handle money).\u00a0 Her predecessor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest, with Jupiter transiting his Sun (a transit which often coincides with a liberation of sorts).\u00a0 Strauss-Kahn has a powerful chart, but will not be looking after our money any more, so Lagarde is the one to watch now.\u00a0 She has her Part of Fortune in the 8<sup>th<\/sup> House of Other People\u2019s Money, so enjoys looking after it for us, and I will be watching that space.\u00a0 We have a huge aspect this week in the trine between Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn, and that will dominate the week\u2019s proceedings, giving us the sense of balancing two huge forces in our lives.\u00a0 We are assisted in seeing its healing potential in having Chiron placed between them forming a sextile to each.\u00a0 So bear this in mind as you proceed through the week, so that you are better placed to catch the wave on Thursday and capitalize on the trine. \u00a0But today is a different mindset because Saturn squares the Sun.\u00a0 Think structure and limitation, caution and plugging loopholes.\u00a0 Before a big enterprise, you have to attend to the details, or something small can throw the whole thing out.\u00a0 What do you need to attend to today, in all seriousness?\u00a0 Even if you are having a fun day out, there may be serious issues to think about which lie behind it.\u00a0 Any conclusions now will contribute to your Jupiter-Pluto performance later in the week.\u00a0 Venus enters Cancer tomorrow (4<sup>th<\/sup>) and it\u2019s Happy Independence Day to my American reader(s)!\u00a0 Venus entering Cancer is always a nice interlude for Americans, who have a few planets in Cancer in the natal chart of the U.S., and will bring heart as it tours through that sign. The aspect of life it brings out is making sure everyone around you is comfortable, nostalgia such as working on your family tree, home-making, baking apple pies, plumping pillows, gardening by the Moon, for enjoying all Cancerian aspects of life.\u00a0 A good website to follow this month if you want to get into that groove (whatever sign, or country you are in) is <a href=\"http:\/\/auntiemoon.wordpress.com\/\">http:\/\/auntiemoon.wordpress.com\/<\/a> the website and blog of cjwright who conveys that mood among other moods and wider issues.\u00a0 She has the knack of asking interesting questions and thinking outside the box, too.\u00a0 It should be a Happy Independence Day whether or not you are American, for the day basks in happy aspects.\u00a0 Venus trines Neptune, bringing inspiration to home and family activities.\u00a0 Then Mercury trines Uranus so any good ideas can go global on the internet.\u00a0 If you are wanting to stay away from the internet tomorrow, then try sending and receiving ideas by telepathy.\u00a0 All you will need is at least one pal, to play this, and conduct such experiments.\u00a0 A pack of Zener cards are optional, but by no means necessary.\u00a0 Mercury squares Jupiter the next day Tuesday (5<sup>th<\/sup>) and by that time you may have experimented, and enjoyed the fruits of your telepathic experiments, but may be feeling mentally overcrowded, hyped up, overwired, and a bit of a space cadet.\u00a0 Maybe you were contacted by Aliens the day before, and have too much to think about now.\u00a0 \u00a0If you can\u2019t handle all the resulting creativity, just scale down your focus and get back to simple basics for a while, watch a candle or watch paint dry, or watch asparagus grow (if that is not too fast-paced).\u00a0 Then reassess which of your new projects to follow.\u00a0 Balance can be achieved the next day (Wednesday 6<sup>th<\/sup>) with Mars trine Saturn.\u00a0 It may not be as exciting as the first half of the week, but it does allow for more common sense and sensibility.\u00a0 Action and practicality succeed, where earlier in the week ideas and inspiration were to the fore.\u00a0 All this before the main feature of the week, Jupiter trine Pluto on Thursday (7<sup>th<\/sup>).\u00a0 This will be balancing power in one area of your life (Pluto in whatever natal house) with opportunities for expansion (Jupiter in another area of life).\u00a0 High energy, high jinks.\u00a0 When Jupiter was square Pluto last year, the first set of revelations by Wikileaks appeared.\u00a0 Some resolution on these issues, e.g. information and suppression of information, High Court injunctions and the like, may emerge.\u00a0 Also religious issues around faith versus agnosticism may come a step closer to understanding (Richard Dawkins meets the Pope?).\u00a0 In our own personal lives we need to see how we use our power, and celebrate positive applications of that power.\u00a0 Motto for the day is taken from Del Boy: \u201cHe who dares, wins\u201d .\u00a0 The rest of the week may seem an anti-climax, but even anti-climaxes need to be managed and observed carefully.\u00a0 Venus squares Uranus later on Thursday, so be wary of social misuses of power, and new personalities emerging in your life who may not be all they seem, who may have agendas counter to your own and be peddling red herrings.\u00a0 You can enjoy the novelty, and take ideas from other ways of being, but need to calm and centre down.\u00a0 On Friday (8<sup>th<\/sup>) Venus trines Chiron in a small healing interlude, practicing the breathing, calming, centring and alignment, and remembering who you are.\u00a0 Saturday (9<sup>th<\/sup>) may test you on that alignment with Pluto opposing Venus: being true to yourself even if you are tempted to please the other.\u00a0 Once that test has been mastered, more enjoyable waters are reached with Venus sextile Jupiter favouring parties and barbecues, followed by Mercury sextile Saturn which would be best employed in a cool assessment of the challenges and achievements of the week.\u00a0 You can put this in graph form, or on an excel spreadsheet, or just file it away under experience, but duly note it.\u00a0 If you need the week in bullet points, please apply separately by email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I redeemed my Wimbledon blogging reputation slightly yesterday at the Ladies Singles Final, by remarking that Sharapova\u2019s aspects were
