This week’s aspects are looking like a chequer board: three squares today, two of them involving Mercury, making travel and communication difficult, though they will have healing lessons.\u00a0 Already I can hear the pitter patter of footsteps leading to my Customer Service desk…honestly, I don’t have a say in the aspects.\u00a0 But I will try to give a positive antidote to each square this week, in order to deflect some of the complaints.\u00a0 Mercury squaring Neptune can cause vagueness, mis-understandings and absent-mindedness, as well as complications in journeys early in the day.\u00a0 The positive?\u00a0 The tunnel of illusion ends in the emergence into reality.\u00a0 At the same time Mercury squaring Chiron could bring minor health crises which could be self-inflicted, such as hangovers.\u00a0 Out-of-hours doctors and Chemists may find themselves busy, as well as herbalists and homeopaths.\u00a0 The positive?\u00a0 It’s better out than in, revealing the problem can also show the solution.\u00a0 Another positive spin I can put on this, is that the peak has already passed by the time you are up and reading this. \u00a0 However, don’t ignore symptoms or irritations, or let tension build up, for mid-afternoon Mars squares Pluto and confrontation is inevitable.\u00a0 If you are being honest, be kind as well.\u00a0 If you need to let rip, pay attention to safety, especially that of innocent bystanders.\u00a0 The positive?\u00a0 You now see what you are dealing with, and have the opportunity to exercise self-control. \u00a0\u00a0 If you are at a dinner party today, as I will be, just keep your head down and avoid controversial opinions.\u00a0 Same goes if you are a blogger.\u00a0 Luckily you have the whole week to recuperate from the consequences of your actions, for there are no more aspects until Saturday (2nd May).\u00a0 Meanwhile, on Thursday (30th) Mercury enters Gemini, and you will find it easier to talk about what is on your mind, if you have been having to hold back while Mercury has been in Taurus.\u00a0 Conversation-wise in fact you might find the floodgates opening as others too will be more chatty, and re-discovering their inner Parrot.\u00a0 They may be more voluble, but the conversation itself may not be of deep quality.\u00a0 But there will be a sense of releif and release of nervous tension.\u00a0 Lastly, on Saturday (2nd May), Venus squares Pluto.\u00a0 I have tried to keep this on your mind, dear regular readers, as it is not an apsect which came and went: it came, and hung around.\u00a0 So by now you may be well aware of personal emotional issues of a deep nature which need resolution, and hopefully after this last application of the square you may be in a position to start to heal.\u00a0 The positive?\u00a0 You find out what a relationship is really made of, and in some cases can experience a rebirth because energy is always recycled.\u00a0 The wider backdrop of things still shape our lives generally – Pluto in Capricorn throwing light on reality, Saturn opposing Uranus, pulling us in two ways, and the triple conjunction of Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius highlighting an opportunity in one area of your life.\u00a0 A cautionary note though – the conjunction between Neptune and Chiron has thrown up the new swine flu virus in Mexico. \u00a0 Jupiter (usually a benefic) will join that mix at the end of May. \u00a0 Most of the weekly aspects I post on a Sunday morning in relation to that wider scene are more fleeting and of a lesser consequence. The connections that the outer planets make to your own chart will affect you even more.\u00a0 So even though there are squares to contend with this week, their effects may not continue beyond the week.\u00a0 It’s easy to get astrological aspects out of proportion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
