An Unlikely Combo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dalai Lama<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dalai Lama has very kindly agreed to grace the United Kingdom with his presence during the Uranus-Pluto square.\u00a0 That truly is a blessing on proceedings. <\/strong>If you need spiritual inspiration over the next week, you can turn to Tibetan Buddhism knowing that he is on our turf.\u00a0 He is here to promote his message of dialogue, peace and compassion.<\/p>\n

Russell Brand<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Russell Brand, who introduced the Dalai Lama to an audience of under-25s in Manchester last night, has found some inner peace through Tibetan Buddhism.\u00a0 The position of the upcoming Uranus-Pluto square in his birth chart is interesting:\u00a0 Pluto is in his 12th<\/sup> House of Unconscious, urging deep inner change, and this is square to Uranus in his 3rd<\/sup> House of Communication, leading to the urge to express his new ideology.<\/p>\n

He expresses the inner conflict produced by the Uranus-Pluto square nicely:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve made mistakes in the past, I won\u2019t lie to you, but this one I\u2019m on my game.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to behave.\u00a0 He\u2019s a holy man, it\u2019s not pretend authority, it\u2019s proper authority of God.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to improvise and I am going to be playing for laughs, but I\u2019ve got to be entirely respectful of his holiness and that\u2019s going to be no problem because I\u2019ll tell you why, genuine respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are working our way towards a New Moon at 28 degrees Gemini on Tuesday (19th<\/sup>).\u00a0 If you know which House that falls in for your personal chart, then you know where to channel that energy.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know your birthtime or chart, then Communication is the watchword: It\u2019s zippy for emailing poetry, visiting elderly relatives, or just using your Senior bus pass.<\/p>\n

Keep the essence of that experience in mind, for on Wednesday (20th<\/sup>) almost the opposite applies: Communications fall flat, trains get delayed, the weather is a nuisance, with Mercury squaring Saturn.\u00a0 Knowing how communications should be, from Tuesday\u2019s template, may help you to forge your way through these inconveniences.\u00a0 Just bear in mind, with the patience of the Dalai Lama, that if you send a text arranging to meet in an hour, the text may not arrive until the next day.<\/p>\n

In the evening the Sun enters Cancer and it\u2019s the Summer Solstice, and normally it would be a good time to picnic under the stars, but the conditions may not be conducive.\u00a0 You will need to create an indoor equivalent, or a virtual one, to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Thursday (21st<\/sup>) it\u2019s a case of:\u201cWait a minute, it stopped hailing, Guys are swimming, guys are sailing, Playing baseball, gee that\u2019s better, Muddah Fadduh kindly disregard this letter\u201d(Allan Sherman). \u00a0<\/em>The rain may only stop metaphorically, but the aspects certainly brighten up.\u00a0 First Venus sextiles Uranus, which is socially upbeat and full of surprises, meetings and invitations.\u00a0 There is a whole blog about it under the category Aspects if you would like to explore further.<\/p>\n

Later in the morning Mercury sextiles Mars, and it\u2019s back to zipping around and communicating, only with even more gusto than on Tuesday!\u00a0 If you are well-versed in the language of Astrology, and are short of a conversation piece but provided with like-minded friends, your topic will probably be the Pluto-Uranus square.<\/p>\n

Uranus square Pluto<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The square between Uranus and Pluto, a mandatory transformation, becomes exact for the first time next Sunday, so I will be posting some sort of guide to this aspect on Friday.\u00a0 Read it then if you would like two days\u2019 preparation time.\u00a0 Until then, try to make sure your own Inner Uranus and Inner Pluto are in tip-top condition!\u00a0 Both planets are pushing for change \u2013 urge them towards a constructive direction. More next week\u2026<\/p>\n
