There was a time in my old neighbourhood when all the women in our street sported a Farrah Fawcett hairstyle (Moon rising in Cancer, the essence of femininity) and all their men had the Kevin Keegan haircut (we had the same hairdresser)…Aah! Those were the days…And the life and death of poor Michael Jackson, who maybe could not face the hurdle of 50 upcoming concerts, was always defined by the planet Pluto.\u00a0 At birth, Pluto was conjunct his Sun, in the early 80s when cosmetic surgery started to show Pluto was conjunct his natal Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, and at his passing Pluto was trine his natal Pluto, beckoning him perhaps to a more final reinvention.\u00a0 This week’s rhythm is slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.\u00a0 Nothing happening, then everything happening.\u00a0 Underwhelm followed by overwhelm.\u00a0 The “quick, quick” days are Wednesday and Thursday (1st and 2nd July).\u00a0 If you are the contemplative type, plan to do nothing on those days!\u00a0 If you would rather seize the day, then plan an activity for each event: On Wednesday (1st July): Jupiter semi-sextile Uranus (test out new constructions); Uranus Stationary, prior to Retrograde (test out electrical wiring); Venus square Chiron (suss out what you need ot heal next through your feeling nature); Mercury trine Chiron (apply the appropriate affirmation through your mental focus); Venus square Neptune (gently question your nearest and dearest about their feelings); then (these are all in sequence by the way) Mercury trine Neptune (re-draw plans to include all the lessons of the day and all the sensitivities of all who are involved).\u00a0 Phew! Is that a world record for the number of aspects in one day?\u00a0 It is the most aspects for a day I have had to blog in two-and-a-half years.\u00a0 If that to-do list works for you, then for Thursday 2nd July try the following: Mercury trine Jupiter (try long distance travel or communication, and sales), but have a fall-back plan because the next aspect can put a spanner in the works.\u00a0 Mercury square Uranus (turn back before you have reached the point of no return, as there may be a hitch in communication, travel and sales).\u00a0 You may spot a loophole in the fine print before you sign on the dotted line.\u00a0 You may ask why bother in the first place, but there is something in the process for you, e.g. you may make an important new acquaintance, who may be a kindred spirit but not a suitable business partner.\u00a0 Expand your consciousness to see the bigger picture.\u00a0 Even the hitch may have a purpose.\u00a0\u00a0 Venus also squares Jupiter that day, so keep social manners appropriate, e.g. no inappropriate laughter or inappropriate touching.\u00a0 Read the body language correctly. \u00a0 And it’s a day of contradictions because Venus also sextiles Uranus, so there may be a surprise social benefit.\u00a0 You’ll find, despite earlier suspicions otherwise, that you really are in the right place at the right time meeting the right people.\u00a0 It’s just your social manners that might be inappropriate, but they may overlook that.\u00a0 You’ll probably be exhausted by Friday, when there is only the movement of Mercury from Gemini into Cancer to contend with.\u00a0 Communication will have arrived at a more empathetic level after the initial awkwardness of the previous day.\u00a0 Saturday is the test of meaningful communication, with Mercury forming an opposition to Pluto.\u00a0 Someone will demand the truth.\u00a0 If you are travelling that day, be vigilant, for there may be difficult passengers or scenarios.\u00a0 You may need to play Samaritan and listen to a sob story for instance.\u00a0 Tip of the week comes from my friend Laura, who started last night’s telephone conversation by (correctly) accusing me of being overly fond of conjunctions.\u00a0 She then went on to say about the current triple conjunction of Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron (one of my all-time favourites): “If we are attached to ideas or forms as to how our lives should be, the triple conjunction is likely to produce illusion and self-deceit.\u00a0 If, however, we are open to new ideas and possibilities – each according to the house in which the conjunction falls – then we are likely to receive a subtle but powerful inspiration – You can quote me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
