This year Pluto is square to his Uranus (sudden change in fortunes) but trine with his Chiron (bringing about an opportunity for him to learn about healing). \u00a0Back to the week in hand:\u00a0 Today the Sun\/Mars conjunction (high energy) trines Saturn (discipline) so deliberate action and planned creativity can forge ahead.\u00a0 Venus also squares Jupiter so people may go all out to socialize, even where it is inappropriate, e.g. a dejeuner sur l\u2019herbe in a cold blustery woodland area in an effort to draw attention to the government\u2019s proposal to sell off our forests.\u00a0 All harmless fun though, because by and large (my favourite phrase this week) Venus squaring Jupiter cannot do a lot of harm (Venus and Jupiter being known as the lesser and greater benefics).\u00a0 Hearts may be slightly broken, but only on the surface\u2026On Tuesday (8<sup>th<\/sup>) Mercury is semi-sextile Pluto, a minor aspect, but I seem to be getting into semi-sextiles these days.\u00a0 The fine print is under discussion, and should not be ignored because you never know what will become significant.\u00a0 People skirt around serious issues, possibly finding it difficult to confront them directly, but just seeing how much they can take in, and mull over.\u00a0 We do not want to overtax the mind and the emotions, but will dip our toes in just a little further because we need to keep going and growing.\u00a0 Chiron also re-enters Pisces, so mental health issues are re-opened and the importance of this field begins to be recognized.\u00a0 On Thursday (10<sup>th<\/sup>) Venus conjuncts Pluto and we possibly realize why we needed to know what we needed to know earlier in the week.\u00a0 Because in seeking to open our hearts, and recognizing the power of love,\u00a0 we also need to know what \u00a0information and experiences can be discarded through being outworn, to leave our hearts clearer, to exercise the intelligence of the heart (the heart having a brain of course) and to feel more deeply than before.\u00a0 What is left in terms of priorities at the end of the week, therefore, is truer than your previous truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big question of the week seems to have been whether or not the President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak would stay or go, and if he would go, when.\u00a0 Wider than the personal fortune of a dictator, there is also the nail-biting question of whether Egypt can do what no other country in the Middle [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/ph9pin-eW","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
