Another week of delicate balancing ahead, as we tackle two other components of the Cardinal T-square, one at the beginning of the week, and one at the end.\u00a0 Last week flame (Scorpio) haired Julia Roberts\u00a0 announced her conversion to Hinduism as a result of filming \u201cEat Pray Love\u201d.\u00a0 This has coincided with Jupiter (planet of religion) coming into her 9th<\/sup> House of Religion, under the pressure of Pluto\u2019s square. The writer of the book \u201cEat Pray Love\u201d Elizabeth Gilbert has the entrepreneurial Jupiter-Uranus conjunction natally, which is doing well in a year when that conjunction is taking place.\u00a0 Jupiter-Uranus people take note: if you haven\u2019t yet made your coup this year, there is still time.\u00a0 Meanwhile one of our own UK actresses Emma Thompson made two gaffes this week.\u00a0 The first was declaring Audrey Hepburn “fantastically twee”.\u00a0 It\u2019s unsurprising that Arien Thompson, concerned with authenticity, would not \u201cget\u201d the mystique and elegance of Audrey Hepburn, who had Neptune opposite her Ascendant.\u00a0 Emma has several planets early in the signs, and is therefore triggered by the complexity of the Cardinal T-square at the moment.\u00a0 Her straight-talking Sun and Mercury in Aries came out twice this week (the second gaffe was ridiculing residents of the Isle of Wight) when her ruling planet Mars was squared by Jupiter and opposed by Pluto.\u00a0 So those are Jupiter square Pluto related stories.\u00a0 On to the first of our T-square components this week: Jupiter opposite Saturn tomorrow (Monday 16th<\/sup>).\u00a0 This has to be carefully measured to satisfy both sides of an argument or two or more sets of needs.\u00a0 Saturn represents realism, Jupiter represents optimism, and Pluto is engaging both in a T-square, pushing the equation the side of despair.\u00a0 What we must not lose therefore is the Jupiter side of the equation, the hopes and dreams.\u00a0 Some people have totally lost it by now, and can\u2019t even summon the energy to wish.\u00a0 But\u00a0 I have come across people this week, who despite long-standing problems, and many times giving in to despair, have started to work with a long-term vision of how their lives could improve – they are starting to see a light, way off in the distance of the tunnel.\u00a0 The UK government has already upset many, promising savage cuts to the vulnerable, cuts which have been chosen to target those least likely to cope, where they could have made choices to make cuts in the fortunes of those well able to cope.\u00a0 This is a mishandling of the T-square, and an illustration of how response to it can be unbalanced.\u00a0 What you have control over is your own psychology, and the re-building of your own sense of hope for the future, from envisaging the next small step, to a future vision that will work for you, to work towards.\u00a0 We may (or may not) be disappointed with those we have elected, but must not forget the power and resources within our own psyche to steer our lives in a better direction.\u00a0 The next series of aspects occur at the end of the week, as the middle of the week can be used to practice your trapeze work.\u00a0 On Friday 20th<\/sup> there\u2019s another, more minor, opposition between the Sun and Neptune.\u00a0 You may then be working on another nuance of the theme of Realism vs Hopefulness.\u00a0 The illusion of fantasy needs to be measured against the truth of the heart.\u00a0 Suppose that in working with creative visualization for the future at the beginning of the week, in trying to balance Jupiter opposite Saturn, we may have veered to the opposite extreme and embellished impossible outcomes.\u00a0 Friday will be the time to take those inner films and edit them to something of more realistic proportions.\u00a0 Perhaps clues in the week might have helped you see what might be possible, as in when you told a best friend what you were thinking and he or she pointed out the loopholes.\u00a0 In your editing, you still need to arrive at a scenario where both parties can win, and there is enough hope in the pot for emotional survival.\u00a0 There are two more astrological features having their say on Friday after this has been achieved.\u00a0 Venus conjuncts Mars at the beginning of Libra, which intensifies the feeling nature of Venus and balances the male-female energies in some ways.\u00a0 This is a more internal type of balancing, not so dependent say on world resources, authorities and institutions.\u00a0 It is about enjoying life, and whereas Jupiter square Pluto is about Pray, Venus conjunct Mars is the Eat and Love component of this three-word mantra.\u00a0 The other feature of Friday is that Mercury will be stationary, prior to turning retrograde.\u00a0 Get your ideas on paper, e.g. in a diary, as you may not immediately be able to implement your ideas or creativity until Mercury turns direct again on 13 September.\u00a0 Plus you will have your hands full on Saturday 21st<\/sup> with the next component of the Cardinal T-square: Saturn square Pluto.\u00a0 This is the despairing end of the equation, so you need to rely on the resources built earlier in the week on the balancing of the Jupiter-Saturn opposition.\u00a0 Keep afloat, and cherish the dream.\u00a0 The Sun also opposes Chiron that day, which throws down a healing challenge to focus your mind.\u00a0 There are solutions, keep believing that.\u00a0 All you might be looking at are the big bills and the climate disasters of Saturn square Pluto, but don\u2019t doubt there is a life beyond.\u00a0 The Obamas swimming in the Gulf of Mexico is a great symbol of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
