Have just got back from a wedding evening reception and wedding breakfast in the refreshing company of a group of thirty somethings, at a stage of life where they have just successfully negotiated their First Saturn Returns, and have their lives mapped out.\u00a0 One of them jetted into Gatwick on the morning of the wedding, having just climbed Mont Blanc\u00a0 Others were about to travel to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, having passed over an earlier opportunity for a gap year in favour of starting at Medical School.\u00a0 Several 30 year olds I know have decided this was the year to get married.\u00a0 Such is the clarity of that post-Saturn Return age!\u00a0 We usually clear some hurdle or personal issue with this astrological cycle: for me it was an issue of self-assertiveness.<\/p>\n
Weddings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We are still u<\/span>nsure exactly what will transpire at the TV wedding of Sharon and Phil from Eastenders, but we now know that George Clooney finally succumbed to the institution of marriage yesterday evening in Venice.\u00a0 Hence I find it the least line of resistance to update my astrologicial musings on this formerly sought after bachelor.<\/p>\n George Clooney<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Things have turned around quickly for George Clooney.\u00a0 I wrote about him in February.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a reprise:<\/p>\n Chart<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGeorge Clooney does not have an easy chart (though hard working), and admits to experiencing financial\u00a0 hardship in his youth.\u00a0 \u00a0He had a strict Roman Catholic upbringing (Moon conjunct Saturn) and was interested in social issues from a young age (Moon conjunct Saturn in 11th<\/sup> House).\u00a0 He has a serious karmic mission, which I think is gradually coming to light in the directing of films of a serious purpose (Pluto conjunct North Node in Virgo).\u00a0 In this purpose, he is not afraid to be controversial (Mercury square Uranus \u2013 an aspect which also sometimes reveals dyslexia, which he learned to compensate for by charming his teachers, according to his mother).\u00a0 His Mars is exactly opposite his Saturn, so everything he does is carefully measured and deliberate.\u00a0\u00a0 Uranus in showbiz Leo is closely trine his Midheaven (careerpoint) which has ensured sustained success in his career.\u201d<\/p>\n I did mention that as he had transiting Pluto squaring his natal Venus (which he still has) it was a good time for reviewing his sense of relationship.\u00a0 He did, in a dramatic Plutonian sense, by meeting a woman with a serious mission in life, an international lawyer for human rights.<\/p>\n What was it in his chart which had made him so single for so long?\u00a0 Looking at his chart again, he has an unaspected Venus, which can indicate a sense of freedom-seeking in relation to love.\u00a0 He also has Moon in Capricorn conjunct Saturn, so his emotional life is intensely personal.<\/p>\n Meeting Amal<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n By May of this year, we the public had been informed that he had met and was planning to marry Amal Alamuddin.\u00a0 Presumably, she has qualities which no other woman had, and ticks all the boxes for George.<\/p>\n There is a birth date for her on Astrotheme of 3rd<\/sup> February 1978, but no birth time.\u00a0 This chart does chime with what we know of her: An interest in \u00a0Human Rights (Sun conjunct Venus in Aquarius), a karmic mission of Lawyer (North Node in Libra) and\u00a0 emotional sensitivity to accompany that (Moon conjunct Neptune) with an international application (Moon in Sagittarius).<\/p>\n The synastry or chart comparison between the two is not so revealing, and may be honed if a birth time comes along.\u00a0 Amal\u2019s Uranus opposes exactly George\u2019s Sun, and that would explain the suddenness of their meeting and his decision to give up his bachelor status.\u00a0 Her Mercury\u00a0 is exactly conjunct his Moon, which shows that the quality of her intellect appeals directly to his emotions, and she finds his emotional make up interesting mentally.<\/p>\n Timing of the Wedding<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Does the timing of the wedding tell us more about the relationship?\u00a0 The Jupiter-Uranus trine which occurred on Thursday, is still close enough to give blessing to this union.<\/p>\n However, the aspects on the day look quite challenging for George.\u00a0 Jupiter squares his Sun, an indication that he is taking a chance on life and love, but may not be entirely sure.\u00a0 Saturn opposes his Mercury, suggesting he is putting aside reason.\u00a0 Neptune opposes his Pluto, and being in the relationship may have thrown up many psychological conundrums.\u00a0\u00a0 Neptune is transiting his natal Chiron, so on a spiritual level he may be experiencing some healing at this time, and this may feel sublime.<\/p>\n Her experience is generally more positive, though also mixed.\u00a0 Transiting Mars is exactly sextile now with her North Node, so karmically she may have met and married the man of her dreams.\u00a0 He fits the description of her animus.\u00a0 Jupiter is also opposing exactly her Sun, so she too may feel she is taking a gamble, but\u00a0 for both of them\u00a0 it may be an adventure.\u00a0 And Uranus exactly sextiles her Sun, so she will be excited to feel that her life is taking a sudden turn for the better.<\/p>\n All best wishes to the happy couple!<\/p>\n Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The main aspect this week, which occurs on Saturday, is a difficult square between the Sun and Pluto.\u00a0 There is also another difficult aspect that day, plus Mercury goes retrograde (everybody\u2019s favourite gripe).<\/p>\n There are two way of tackling this situation:<\/p>\n So I will, as usual, describe the aspects, but will also suggest a strategy in case you are wishing to work with the energies of next Saturday in advance. <\/strong><\/p>\n But first, tomorrow evening (Monday 29th<\/sup>) Venus will be entering\u00a0 Libra, which heralds a period favouring relationships, honeymoons, artistic and musical composition, and the law.\u00a0 So it is a good time to foster such associations in your life, and perhaps spend your week focusing on them, instead of worrying about the square at the end of the week.<\/p>\n Now to Saturday (4th<\/sup> October).\u00a0 The Sun squares Pluto in the morning, and plans may have to be re-scheduled.\u00a0 Dramas may occur, but they may be internal ones.\u00a0 Doors may be closing, but of course we all know that new windows will open as a result, though we don\u2019t know when.<\/p>\n Preparation:\u00a0 Meditation for calming the mind will be helpful, a daily practice being most useful.\u00a0 Maybe I sound like a stuck record in this respect, but I do believe in it!<\/p>\n Letting go and releasing what is not needed in advance or at the time, is also useful.<\/p>\n Surrendering to the Universe at the time may be required.<\/p>\n On a practical level, checking health and safety in relation to your planned activities may be helpful, and checking possible loopholes and making contingency plans (B and C at least may be helpful, and may work).<\/p>\n The next\u00a0 aspect is Mars square Chiron, which is also incident-prone, and apt to bring up what needs to be healed in a psyche or a situation.<\/p>\n Preparation would be to look at the source of any wounds, such as may lie in childhood or past lives, and working on them gradually and patiently through the week.\u00a0 If you have firm plans for the weekend, think about the issues that the circumstances may raise.\u00a0 For instance, if you are meeting a long lost cousin you had issues with, seek to work on the relationship in advance.<\/p>\n Homeopathic remedies may be sought, and flower remedies can be to hand, such as Rescue Remedy.<\/p>\n Finally, by the afternoon, Mercury will be stationary, about to turn retrograde.\u00a0 This may complicate communications on the day and in the ensuing period up to 26th<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n Strategies would include tackling your outstanding paperwork and documentation throughout this week in\u00a0 advance of Mercury\u2019s\u00a0 turnaround.<\/p>\n Meditation will help too here, in working on a calm mind and clarity of communication and putting it into practice for the three week period.<\/p>\n I hope this helps!\u00a0 Love and luck to all my readers.<\/p>\n The week in bullet points:<\/p>\n Have just got back from a wedding evening reception and
