Assad and Syria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Assad may have been protected for the moment (Jupiter transitting his North Node).\u00a0 But Assef Shawkat, Assad\u2019s brother-in-law, was killed last week as Pluto squared his Mars (a transit which often brings about violence, if it is karmically due).<\/p>\n

For the chart of Syria itself, some progress by force is indicated for this time: Uranus trine its Pluto and Mars sextile its Pluto.\u00a0 As a pacifist, I would not advocate progress by force!<\/p>\n

Other Approaches<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah and I are continuing to focus on the situation in Syria in our Light Pod work (see my Light Pod page, if you would like to join in thought).<\/p>\n

But another member of our circle, Laura, who occasionally contributes here, has had a series of visions about the future of Syria.<\/p>\n

She recently reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cA small group of men (about 7-8) will emerge from within Syria itself to lead it forward into a new democracy.<\/p>\n

The forces of equilibrium will calm the nation such that civil war will not continue and will be replaced by talk. The Syrian people will love their freedom to be able to talk openly. This will confound the US and Russia.<\/p>\n

The present struggle is bringing a deep poison to the surface of the nation so that it can be eradicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in February, during the violence in Homs, she saw in response to her concern over the bombing of Homs:<\/p>\n

1. The entire conflict is being monitored carefully by the Spiritual Hierarchy so that the transformation of power within Syria is along evolutionary rather than revolutionary lines.\u00a0 It requires a careful balancing.\u00a0 Also, the “paralysed” nature of the world response – symbolised by the huge cold high pressure over Russia and Europe (also a reference to “the Cold War”) – allows time for a new approach to be grasped and followed through.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Russia would continue to have its port in Syria but as seen in 5 years’ hence, the port was being shared with NATO and that Russia was now partnering, if not already a member of NATO. Syria was at peace.<\/p>\n

She believes that these visions reflect the growing influence of the Age of Aquarius – with its emphasis on brotherhood and sharing\u00a0– on the life of humanity, which is gradually superceding the Age of Pisces with its emphasis on hierarchy and “strong leaders”. Many commentators and experts on the Middle East are viewing the situation through “Piscean” rather than “Aquarian” eyes and so assuming that the Syrian nation will fall apart without a strong man to unite the people.<\/p>\n

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

In the early hours of today a big cheery aspect begins a cheery week!\u00a0\u00a0 Jupiter sextiles Uranus, and it doesn’t matter if you slept through\u00a0it, this is a major aspect which will leave you with benefits and a\u00a0major boost (even if in the form of an insightful dream).<\/p>\n

The house in your chart where Uranus currently resides is where you\u00a0are having your own Arab spring. The house Jupiter is in is where you\u00a0may be experiencing improvements in communication, writing, or\u00a0education (despite Michael Gove).<\/p>\n

These two planets are working together to improve your life. Even if\u00a0you have had a recent setback (Uranus turning retrograde) there may\u00a0prove to be a blessing in disguise (a new upgrade of sorts perhaps?).<\/p>\n

This aspect last occurred 4 years ago, i.e. in living blog memory.\u00a0 I wrote for 21\/5\/08:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>It\u2019s a red-letter day in terms of achievement, surprises and possibly even miracles. If you find it so, you\u2019ll have Jupiter sextile Uranus to thank.<\/em> <\/strong>\u2026 you\u2019ll \u00a0find everything clicking into place in a powerful way on Wednesday for those days were stepping stones to experiencing the full range of Jupiter-Uranus successes. Anthony Robbins, eat your heart out!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as I was not keeping such meticulous records at that time, I don\u2019t have a record of what transpired, but I do know that I painted the Gemini Butterfly Mandala on the last Jupiter-Uranus sextile, which is pictured on my Future Lives page as it depicts future vision.\u00a0 You may care to work with that in relation to today\u2019s aspect.\u00a0 This aspect is also good for working in groups or with groups.\u00a0 There is also a sense of liberation with this aspect, because both planets express liberation.<\/p>\n

Moving on slightly, at 10.01 a.m. in the U.K.\u00a0 the Sun enters its home stage of Leo, as if to reinforce the upbeat mood.\u00a0 There might be a burst of sunlight over the U.K. as the Atlantic jet stream\u00a0edges slightly north. It has been raining as long as we can\u00a0remember (since April). We may start to behave as though it is summer, and not some\u00a0non-descript season. Of course in some parched areas of the U.S. they have been having\u00a0a drought (as we did earlier in the year) and may be hoping otherwise.<\/p>\n

Leo Guide to Leadership<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The sign of Leo isn\u2019t just about sunshine and having a good time.\u00a0 One of the qualities of the sign Leo characterwise is the ability to take on power, and experiment with its right usage.\u00a0 We have today the next in the series of the Zodiac Masterclass, and it\u2019s entitled \u201cThe Leo Guide to Leadership\u201d.\u00a0 If power is something you are working on in this incarnation, do read this article for handy hints, if not for this lifetime maybe for the next.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the link:<\/p>\n

Aspects contd.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The third gift of the day (we are still talking about Sunday 22nd<\/sup>), around Elevenses in the U.K., is Mercury\u00a0sextile Mars, a brisk aspect conducive to getting things done, and\u00a0getting things thought about and communicated.\u00a0 Take your coffee on the go, and multi-task.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (24th<\/sup>) Jupiter squares Chiron and it might be the only fly in the week\u2019s ointment.\u00a0 A big project you might have successfully set up on Sunday may demonstrate a flaw in its development.\u00a0 For instance if you started a painting, you may need to halt your work while you ponder a problem in its execution.\u00a0 Any health crises will be along the lines of overstretching, e.g. tearing a hamstring.\u00a0 Take note athletes in practice.<\/p>\n

In the early evening of the same day Mercury sextiles Jupiter (more good news, possibly alleviating the news about the hamstring earlier). Good aspects just keep on coming. This aspect is\u00a0excellent for sales and transatlantic communications. It is good for\u00a0positive thinking (much to the chagrin perhaps of the fashionable anti-positive thinking movement) and philosophical ideas, for learning and all levels of education from primary to postgraduate.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (25th) Mercury makes another fortunate aspect, this time with Uranus (our mental equipment is working well this week by the way, although tempered by the fact that that\u00a0Mercury is still retrograde).\u00a0 Geminis and Virgos may benefit from this trend, even if they were hit for six by last Sunday\u2019s retrograde turn. \u00a0We last met the aspect of Mercury trine Uranus on the\u00a0day it was announced that the scientific discovery of the “God\u00a0particle” had been made. There may be further or related discoveries\u00a0in the news, and in our own lives we may make discoveries, which may be more pertinent to our own lives, and maybe more trustworthy.<\/p>\n

At the end of the week, on Saturday (28th<\/sup>) the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 6 degrees Leo, which favours intelligent use of leisure, celebrations, such as weddings, children and creativity \u2013 Oh yes, and sport!\u00a0 This may be my last reference to the Olympics \u2013 savour it (I may eat my words though). \u00a0If it is your birthday or you have 6 degrees Leo rising, you will have an intense experience of yourself.<\/p>\n

Part 2 of the Computer Saga<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am glad to have found that my initial reporting of the computer saga produced some merriment in various quarters.\u00a0 At the time I was too shell shocked to write Part 2, and anxious about the result.\u00a0 So here is the less funny denouement:<\/p>\n

The printer travelled to my brother-in-law\u2019s house (because the computer appeared to freeze quite often while printing), together with the other components of my computer equipment.\u00a0 It was placed in the hallway, and in fact did not need to be part of the investigation as it happened.\u00a0 My brother-in-law completed the overhaul of the computer to his satisfaction, and was just finishing this task, when he picked up the printer and carried it into his living room and placed it on an antique chair.\u00a0 (You may be beginning to sense what happened next\u2026)\u2026He was wearing a new and fresh pair of cream trousers\u2026(Have you got the picture yet\u2026?)\u2026when he realized that there was black ink on the chair, then noticed a trail on the new cream Berber carpet tracing his route, and also on the smart trousers.<\/p>\n

So it was that these horrors were revealed to us when we arrived to collect the perfectly mended computer.\u00a0 In my brother-in-law\u2019s considerable experience of mending computers nothing like this had ever happened before.<\/p>\n

We were in suspended disbelief last Sunday, but at the start of the week the Insurance representative called and confirmed that this is a common occurrence with inkjet printers, and the damage to the carpet and antique chair will be compensated.\u00a0 My brother-in-law would like to make it known that inkjet printers should always be carried straight and level so that the tray catches the ink.\u00a0 Evidently, my hubby may have tilted it when carrying it to the car.\u00a0 I now have a laser printer, which apparently would not leak in this way.<\/p>\n

I am still trying to work out the spiritual and symbolic meanings of the event, with a little help from my friends.<\/p>\n

Future Life Progression and Astrology<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An unexpectedly strange phenomena has occurred in my working practice.\u00a0 Normally, I would expect to work with someone\u2019s astrological chart prior to doing a session of Future Life Progression with them.\u00a0 Recently though, it was the reverse, i.e. that someone had Future Life Progression, then asked for an astrological reading for the year ahead.\u00a0 So it was like looking at the year ahead through a different lens, one that already knew what the future would be for the client.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in a mandalic depiction of today\u2019s Jupiter-Uranus sextile, do have a look at my Future Lives page, where you can find the mandala I painted on the last Jupiter-Uranus sextile, which in the future of the past formed the vision of my Future Life work.\u00a0 Many of my mandalas have destinies which I did not foresee when I painted them.<\/p>\n

In my Future Life Progression work, I am working on a sequel to the South Node Archetype article I wrote last year.\u00a0 The future article I see as producing 12 Future Life Archetypes for the North Node, from my understanding and experience of working on the future with clients.\u00a0 That may sound like a stretch, but it is something I see for myself.<\/p>\n
