for the week beginning 20 February 2011"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We are in the middle of a phase of Neptunian transition at the moment, so you may be feeling a little at sea.\u00a0 This emphasis on Neptune started last Thursday, when the Sun was conjunct Neptune, and indeed we did experience some mist and fog in our weather conditions, typical of Neptune.\u00a0 Some people may have felt a bit lost or in hibernation that day.<strong> <\/strong>On Saturday the Sun entered Pisces, Neptune\u2019s sign, perpetuating that mood.\u00a0 Tomorrow there are two aspects to Neptune, and Mercury enters Neptune-ruled Pisces.\u00a0 Later in the week, on Wednesday, Mars also enters Pisces.\u00a0 So expect a feeling of being at sea at least until Wednesday, after which you may feel re-orientated, and incorporating a wider and deeper range of sensations into your experience.\u00a0 So it was that in my inbox this morning I found a video of an \u201cinternet friend\u201d O\u2019Douce swimming with dolphins, and felt it appropriate to share this in a separate blog.\u00a0 Really I was playing for time, as I felt at sea about writing the usual blog about the Middle East confusion, another manifestation of a Neptunian phase.\u00a0 That is a story which will run and run, and is primarily about the release of the human spirit under Jupiter in Aries, and soon to be Uranus in Aries too.\u00a0 However, there is a sense of \u201cWhat will happen?\u201d, \u201cWhat will replace Mubarak\u2019s regime in Egypt?\u201d \u00a0and \u201cWhich regime will go next?\u201d which reflects this feeling of transition.\u00a0 And, of course, there won\u2019t be resolution by next Wednesday, but there may be a difference in mood.\u00a0 This evening (UK time) there is a conjunction between Mercury and Mars, and indeed there may be a critical or analytical quality to your interactions today.\u00a0 There may also be mental irritation and minor skirmishes.\u00a0 Let us hope that the regimes in the Middle East who are under attack from people power, refrain from major violence.\u00a0 The sooner that the Egyptians are able to form a new regime, the clearer the whole outlook will be.\u00a0 After Wednesday, there is more chance of a clear new step.\u00a0 In the early hours of tomorrow, first Mercury conjuncts Neptune \u2013 mental confusion, but also the possibility of spirituality and channelled information coming through.\u00a0 Channelled information could mean any quality, depending on whether the Neptunian rays are of illusion or clarity.\u00a0 By their fruits ye shall know them, or the proof of the pudding is in the eating.\u00a0 This is followed by Mars conjunct Neptune, which if you like is channelled action, so therefore that can be anything from spiritually-inspired movement such as Tai Chi, to the movement of a crowd in mass consciousness, and again this can be positive or negative.\u00a0 Certainly if you are working on your own careful personal evolution programme, some sensitive growth can occur now.\u00a0 When it is combined in a group or a large crowd, the outcome is more unpredictable.\u00a0 On the same day, Mercury enters Pisces, and issues that seemed clear while Mercury was in Aquarius, may need to be re-evaluated, to take in for instance the needs of all of a group, or a society, or a country.\u00a0 On Tuesday (22<sup>nd<\/sup>) Mercury forms a conjunction with Chiron, and it is time to focus on healing.\u00a0 This may be precipitated by a healing crisis, but there is the potential to accept the influx of healing energy.\u00a0 Mars enters Pisces on Wednesday (23<sup>rd<\/sup>) and the ocean that is Pisces will be full of sea creatures, or dolphins, or planets (symbolically speaking, of course!).\u00a0 For those who like numbers Mars will be at 0 degrees Pisces, Chiron at 1 degree, Mercury at 3, the Sun at 4, and Uranus at 29.\u00a0 So Mars\/Chiron\/Mercury\/Sun are in close proximity, producing an intense whirlpool of energy, which you might think twice about entering if you are unsure of what you are getting into and whether you have a handle on it. \u00a0Just stand by in compassion, if in doubt.\u00a0 The intense Neptune phase now starts to wane, and the first aspect which now comes up is Mars conjunct Chiron on Thursday 24<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 This is about healing wounds, and there may be a focus on the results of some of the violence which is going on in the world, such as the governments firing on crowds.\u00a0 It is about healing the causes and the results of violence, and becoming clear on these issues.\u00a0 Again, healing energy will be available, but of a more physical and practical nature than when Mercury was conjunct Chiron on Tuesday, which will have been a cooler mental type of healing energy and conjecture.\u00a0 The energy on Thursday will be more impassioned.\u00a0 Beware though of energy which comes in a healing guise and is just projected anger.\u00a0 On Friday (25<sup>th<\/sup>) the Sun conjuncts Mercury in Pisces and there is an opportunity for reasoned discussion, but taking into account the plight and feelings of victims of financial cuts in the NHS or oppressed populations.\u00a0 Those who have the skills to understand can make a difference in sharing their ideas.\u00a0 Later, Mercury is semi-sextile Jupiter, so small groups can report back their findings and feedback to larger groups, so that information can be applied to circumstances which need attention.\u00a0 Mercury then sextiles Pluto on the same day, and really deep thought and discussion is possible.\u00a0 Friday therefore becomes a day where people can make a difference, starting with their own thoughts and then communicating with the wider world and then sitting down to discuss harsh realities and how new ideas can be applied.\u00a0 It is the sort of day that an idea can take hold on Facebook (sadly I do not have a Facebook page though). \u00a0For finally on that day Jupiter squares Pluto again, which is quite a crescendo.\u00a0 My blog on this aspect focuses on the schism between religion and atheism in our society, and the relationship of dark and light.\u00a0 And certainly one man\u2019s meat is a vegetarian man\u2019s poison, so differences have to be confronted.\u00a0 But a lot of thought will have been provoked in advance, and a lot of discussion taken place.\u00a0 And a lot of good will that the will of the people will prevail.\u00a0 Friday will really be the important day this week, but there are a couple of aspects on Saturday (26<sup>th<\/sup>) when you might be eating leftovers symbolically from the feast the day before, or you may be hungover if you prefer liquids over solids.\u00a0 The Sun sextiles Pluto, so the light of consciousness enables us to understand the contrasts of light and shade in the issues we are dealing with, not so dramatically as the day before, but nevertheless usefully, and there may be a cold light of day or anti-climactic climate with which to examine issues.\u00a0 This is followed by another semi-sextile, which is a minor aspect, in the form of Sun semi-sextile Jupiter.\u00a0 Saturday therefore may act as a light perceived at the end of a tunnel, but certainly the opportunity to get to grips with some of the major issues which occurred at the end of the week, and which followed the transitionary period up to the middle of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are in the middle of a phase of Neptunian transition at the
