Before looking at what is a busy week for aspects, I will take a look at the serious news item of last week Libya, and a lighthearted survey of some of the Strictly Come Dancing acts, for balance. Gaddafi met his end last week.\u00a0 Muammar started out thinking of himself as a liberator.\u00a0 As the Guardian Obituary tells us: \u201cWith Nasser as his idol \u2013 he too later titled himself colonel \u2013 the 14 year old Gaddafi was caught up in the surging pan-Arab emotions of the time, in the ideals of Arab renaissance\u2026Expelled from school for his political activities, he continued his secondary education at Misrata, on the coast, and there, with some of his classmates, he decided to join the army as a means of overthrowing the monarchy\u201d.\u00a0 Without knowing his birth time, it seems that Uranus (revolution) has played a strong role in shaping his life (e.g. it may be on one of the angles of his chart), for at the time of his coup in 1969, which created the Republic of Libya, Uranus was trine his Uranus.\u00a0 At his demise, Uranus in Aries (the spirit of the Arab Spring) is exactly sextile with his personal Uranus (which has played itself out).\u00a0 It is the Uranus opposition of the Republic, the Counter-Revolution.\u00a0 The original 1951 chart of Libya (pre-Gaddafi) is the beneficiary, both on the day of his demise, and as the foundation for its future, with a treasury of aspects:\u00a0 Uranus squares Libya\u2019s Sun (extreme change), Neptune trines its Moon (aspirations for the people), the North Node trines its Mercury (a new constitution karmically demanded), the North Node sextile its Mars (a change of military focus, again brought about karmically), Pluto squares its Jupiter (a dramatic transfer of power, out of control), Saturn conjuncts its Neptune (traumatic stress to be worked through), Saturn sextiles its Pluto, and North Node squares its Ascendant (a completely new karmic order).\u00a0 Though the future seems uncertain, astrological indications are that this could actually be the liberation of Libya, but with a lot to be worked through in the future, and no magic wand.<\/p>\n

Continuing my survey of the lighter side of life: The still-new Strictly Come Dancing series seems to have thrown up some real talents this year: one of which is Holly Valance.\u00a0 Like Anita Dobson, who is also doing well, she is a Taurean trooper.\u00a0 She has the North Node (karmic mission) a few degrees away from the Gemini Sun of partner Artem Chigvintsev, and more significantly, her South Node in Sagittarius is almost exactly conjunct his Neptune (planet of dance) indicating they may have danced together in past lives, especially Latino ones.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Latina Nancy dell\u2019Olio is at the other end of the leader board, and may not survive tonight\u2019s results programme.\u00a0 As far as I know, Nancy has not revealed her birth date to the world, but we know that she is Cancerian, and Anton has 3 skilful planets spread out in the sign of Cancer to cover any of her moods.\u00a0 It was not enough to control her feather boa in her first dance though, and now that Edwina Currie has gone, it does leave her vulnerable with the viewing vote.<\/p>\n

This week begins with the entry of the Sun into Scorpio at tea-time in the U.K.\u00a0 If you are reading this before 6.30 p.m. you are in the last throes of the Sun in Libra \u2013 take advantage of any last minute opportunities for diplomacy and negotiation, any olive branches coming your way and any fly pasts by doves.\u00a0 At 6.30 p.m. you will need to be more on your mettle, more alert to what is going on in your life, and less dreamy and idealistic.\u00a0 If you feel you need to bring out your inner warrior, assemble your tools: your pet scorpion, your hypnotic laser eyes, and your will to overcome any obstacles.\u00a0 I am hoping to post the second Zodiac Masterclass around that time, which has been written by a real Scorpio with real life experience (not just a theoretical Scorpio), if you feel you don\u2019t have enough Plutonian energy to rise to the occasion.\u00a0 The Sun trines Chiron tomorrow, and to the new Scorpio influx of energy are added the healing rays of Chiron.\u00a0 This is an excellent aspect for regeneration, and coming back from a difficult situation or health issue.\u00a0 Wednesday (26th<\/sup>) is the most eventful day, starting with a sextile between Mars and Saturn, representing controlled and steady action, the precision of the surgeon, at the start of the day, which sets a helpful tone.\u00a0 A New Moon in Scorpio comes along later in the day, which again represents the regeneration of life force, and a new understanding for us in terms of the mysteries of life and the life cycle.\u00a0 Finally that day Mars squares Venus, so if you are at a party in the evening you might need to watch for inappropriate social behaviour, the inappropriately intimate pinch, or leer\u2026!\u00a0 It seems to me it happens all the time on Strictly.\u00a0 On Friday (28th<\/sup>) Mars squares Mercury and there could be all-round general irritability, and carelessness, especially in relation to Geminis and Virgos.\u00a0 Drivers be extra vigilant when parking.\u00a0 The biggest aspect of the week, Jupiter trine Pluto, also takes place on this day, so there is an important balancing of power, and one which may have been an on-off feature for you this year.\u00a0 People will need to take accounts of rights and wrongs, and they will need to form a group to evaluate the situation, as this is not an aspect where one person can act alone without consequences.\u00a0 But within yourself, you may come to a special place of integrity, where you know that your actions will be right when you carry them out into the world.\u00a0 The next day, Saturday 29th<\/sup>, that integrity can be carried through with others as the Sun joins this trine, opposing Jupiter and trining Pluto.\u00a0 Others may be interested in your projects, and the only drawback may be overconfidence or over-enthusiasm \u2013 you need some boundaries or even structure, because Rome was not built in a day.<\/p>\n
