The Cardinal Climax has pushed the weather to further extremes, and specifically Jupiter square Pluto has coincided with fire and smog in Russia. \u00a0Again it seemed that Pakistan was at the hub of world news.\u00a0 The four instances mentioned at the end of last week\u2019s blog [\u201cCriticized by Cameron, widespread flooding, its worst ever air crash, and not doing so well in cricket.\u201d] seem to have moved on further.\u00a0 Now the picture is a rapprochement with Cameron (on Thursday David Cameron hailed the &#8220;unbreakable&#8221; friendship between Britain and Pakistan), flooding affecting millions, the aftermath of the air crash no doubt causing havoc in many lives, and (according to hubby) even worse fortunes in the cricket.\u00a0 The President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari is the widower of Benazir Bhutto, who had close connections with Britain, and their son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has studied at Oxford University.\u00a0 I thought I would take a closer look at these connections and in relation to this time.\u00a0 David Cameron has Saturn exactly square Zardari\u2019s nodal axis, pointing to uneasy karma between them.\u00a0 The countries are more friendly, in that Pakistan\u2019s Venus is trine the U.K. Mercury.\u00a0 Transiting Neptune is on the U.K. Mars at this time, which may be connected with Cameron\u2019s gaffe last week (doesn\u2019t have the same ring to it as Gordon\u2019s gaffe, but never mind, we will have to get used to it.\u00a0 Impersonators are still trying to get a handle on their Cameron impressions, too).\u00a0 This echoes Cameron\u2019s own natal Mars opposite Neptune, which finds him socially na\u00efve at times.\u00a0 With his own Mars exactly opposite the U.K. Mars he can sometimes be out of tune with its energies. Saturn is currently on his Ascendant, which represents the huge responsibility he is taking on, and squaring his Midheaven, so he has a tough mountain to climb now.\u00a0 Uranus is still squaring Pakistan\u2019s Mars, and there is no doubt the repercussions of the last two weeks will take a long time to deal with.\u00a0 Zardari, in stepping out of his local problems last week was taking advantage of the holiday atmosphere of Jupiter trining his Sun, and its call to foster international links.\u00a0 Whatever your religious or political persuasion, I am sure your heart will go out to the Pakistan people in the problems they are facing right now.\u00a0 Venus conjuncts Saturn today, so there is a sad reflectiveness.\u00a0 If you have been struggling lately with a relationship problem, you will be looking at it in a realistic way.\u00a0 You may have done what you could to bring life to a situation which may seem flat for the time being.\u00a0 The dining experience at tea-time today is important. Make sure nutrition is nurturing by quality rather than quantity.\u00a0 Create a calm atmosphere and you may find that conditions bring forth some surprising serenity of thought, particularly on your current concerns.\u00a0 A sprightlier outlook awaits tomorrow (Monday 9<sup>th<\/sup>) with Venus opposite Jupiter.\u00a0 In the evening, Jupiter tries to lift the mood \u2013 your long-lost Uncle Vanya might pop in with his latest joke, for instance.\u00a0 With the conjunction still operative, you might still be hovering between laughter and tears, but certainly there may be a releasing of tension.\u00a0 The other three astrological events of this week occur in the early hours of the morning in the U.K., and may either wake you (if you are very sensitive to aspects) or colour your dreams.\u00a0 So these will be evening events the previous day in the U.S. and morning events the same day in Australia.\u00a0 The New Moon in Leo is on Tuesday 10<sup>th<\/sup>: the dream will be about Lions, obviously, no question.\u00a0 Evening event, a gala.\u00a0 Morning event, a creative splurge.\u00a0 An hour later Venus squares Pluto: you\u2019ll be woken by a nightmare about someone stealing the Mona Lisa.\u00a0 Evening event, a disappointing text from the object of your affections.\u00a0 Morning event, you wake in thunderous mood and need to give your inner warrior a talking to rather than take it through the day and impose it on everyone else.\u00a0 Uranus goes into Pisces in the early hours of Saturday 14<sup>th<\/sup> August U.K. time, in retrograde motion from Aries.\u00a0 I have found that this placement has been strengthening people\u2019s capacity for self-sufficiency, in its conjunction with Jupiter in early Aries, but also exploring our links with groups in a more dynamic way.\u00a0 Group work has taken interesting new turns as individuals have felt emboldened to express themselves more clearly and easily in that context.\u00a0 The re-entry of Uranus into Pisces temporarily may bring the need for more attention to oil and water problems on the planet, more will need to be done and more thought will need to go into longer-term solutions.\u00a0 Uranus entered Aries from Pisces on 28 May, so it may revisit issues for you personally that were prominent around then (a look at my diary reveals that I was having another sleepless night on the Rialto Bridge in Venice\u2026).\u00a0 The first point of Aries certainly is a bridge between the old and the new, old ways of being and new ones which we are being encouraged to adopt.\u00a0 So we will temporarily revisit old issues\u2026how old, is the question. \u00a0Solutions and answers can be found in the Now, in the 7 year transit of Uranus in Pisces, or in past life glimpses of\u00a0 lives in monasteries and nunneries in the Age of Pisces.\u00a0 You choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The T-square between Pluto, Jupiter and Mars last week seemed to generate many tales in the news of man\u2019s inhumanity to man, and my phone and Customer Service Desk were buzzing, with the T-square forming a Grand Cross to my natal Uranus in my 3rd House of Phonecalls.
