Interesting synchronicity that Joanna Lumley was finishing her Greek Odyssey on our screens as a Greek drama unfolded on the Eurozone scene, \u00a0in the crescendo of the week.\u00a0 In the final programme of the series, Joanna was told that the series would be successful by an elderly Greek lady who was reading her coffee grounds.\u00a0 Unfortunately, she did not pronounce on the future of the Euro.\u00a0 The same evening Nicolas Sarkozy was telling the G20 summit “We cannot accept the explosion of the euro, which would mean the explosion of Europe” at the same time as George Papandreou of Greece had threatened a referendum, which he later described as a shock tactic, saying he didn\u2019t mean it really\u2026 <\/strong>George Papandreou the Prime Minister of Greece has Mercury (his mental equipment) at 4 degrees Cancer, which squares the Pluto of the natal chart of Greece (bringing mental strain to his natal equipment).\u00a0 The current square of Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn form a T-square with his natal Mercury, increasing that mental strain to the hilt.\u00a0 Some questioned his mental state in engineering the brinkmanship brought about by his announcement of a referendum, and political positions are still being worked out in Greece now.\u00a0 Meanwhile, almost at the heart and helm of the Euro crisis (Angela Merkel being the heart and helm) according to the Astrology, Nicolas Sarkozy has an instinctive understanding of the European Union (and therefore has easily built up an image of how his role should be within it).\u00a0 His Mercury is sextile the European Union Mercury (giving him a facility with ideas related to it, business and economic issues within it, and communication channels).\u00a0 His Neptune is also conjunct the European Union Jupiter, so there is almost a sense of religiosity in the way he feels about the European Union and its potential.\u00a0 His Jupiter squares the Euro (as distinct from the European Union) Nodal Axis, so he has a karmic role to play at this time, and one of keeping up its profile in some way.\u00a0 His Pluto trines its Jupiter, so he is totally involved in trying to make it work.\u00a0 His Neptune squares its Uranus however, so his own illusions may complicate its destiny further.\u00a0 But there is no doubting his commitment, in saying: \u201cThe euro<\/em> is at the heart of Europe\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0 <\/em>I took a break from all this yesterday, and had a great time at the Brian Weiss workshop in London yesterday. Brian Weiss is the most popular of past-life therapists and author of such classics as \u201cMany Lives, Many Masters\u201d and \u201cSame Soul, Many Bodies\u201d, and I\u00a0booked my place months ago. Apparently the event was an almost\u00a0instant sell-out.\u00a0 People came from all over the world (except for the\u00a0U.S.) to see this psychiatrist from Florida. \u00a0They came from places as far flung as Trinidad and Portugal, bringing translated editions from exotic locations such as Iran and Malta.\u00a0 Dr. Weiss has the slowest speaking voice I have ever heard, as befits someone who has been doing past life therapy for 30 years.\u00a0 He has a GSOH, in fact an acutely and unusually teasing sense of humour that doesn\u2019t come across in his books!\u00a0 I wonder how that persona comes out from his birthchart\u2026We do not have a birthtime and so cannot divine his Ascendant and Midheaven, which often contribute to the persona.\u00a0 He is a Scorpio, which is the sign of Psychiatry, and in fact it\u2019s his birthday today.\u00a0 The humour may be linked with his Jupiter being exactly sextile his North Node, which has given him a karmic grace in his work and mission.\u00a0 I spent most of the day pleasantly semi-comatose (he gave 4 meditations \u2013 tremendous value!), surfacing occasionally to make notes.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how it was for the rest of the 900-strong audience.\u00a0 That might just have been my pattern because, not comparing the two in any intrinsic sense, I admit to always falling asleep whenever I have been in the presence of the Dalai Lama.\u00a0 A few years ago, my hubby complained that I was meditating too much, but I have got it down to once a day now.\u00a0 Enough about me, let\u2019s look at the aspects for the week ahead.\u00a0 Today is a good day for tying up small but important loose ends, with the minor aspects of Mercury\/Venus semi-sextile Pluto.\u00a0 It is another week with a dominant theme by Neptune, as tomorrow we face an opposition between Mars and Neptune.\u00a0 Whereas last week\u2019s Neptune issues were emotional and mental confusion, tomorrow\u2019s opposition could bring instinctual confusion.\u00a0 Well if your instincts are currently wading on shifting sands, what can you trust?\u00a0 You can go to a higher level, to your intuition (via meditation, but don\u2019t overdo it like me).\u00a0 The work you do on this will pay off by Wednesday (9th<\/sup>) because Neptune is stationary prior to turning direct (what a relief) and you will be able to see that a spade will look like a spade.\u00a0 It always was a spade, but you had your doubts, lately.\u00a0 A Full Moon in Taurus on Thursday (10th<\/sup>) adds some more earthiness and practicality to your outlook, but not everyone finds the Full Moon energy easy, and it has to be balanced with the intensely searching Sun in Scorpio.\u00a0 So if you are immersed in gardening, some part of you still has to engage with the angst going on in the world or in your personal affairs.\u00a0 The same day Chiron (which has been travelling with Neptune in recent years) also turns stationary prior to direct, which benefits healing efforts, healing projects, and uncovering the associated mental causations, which may or may not be derived from the past.\u00a0 And on Friday (11:11:11) Mars means business, leaving its performance-based urges in Leo, for the quieter conscientious working mode of Virgo.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be knuckling down to some real work schedules, and health and safety projects.\u00a0 Many of us will be earth healing, or marking the impressive numerology of the day in some way.\u00a0 The week ends on Saturday (12th<\/sup>) with an opposition between Mars and Chiron: energies could be awkward that day, and there may be minor healing crises or opportunities to put into practice what we have learned this week or recently.\u00a0 What were your learnings, and how can you apply them? I have learned about synchronicity, and moderation in meditation, and deepened my interest in the scope of the human mind.<\/p>\n
