Significant Planetary Aspects for:

The celestial influences continue to stretch us from the earth to the heavens. The major influences of the week are weighted on both ends of the spectrum, accustoming us to functioning with input from both. The Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune/Uranus traveling party remains tight, with Chiron and Neptune now retrograde and beginning the slow back-and-forth stretching that we’re undergoing like taffy for the rest of the year. It’s opening us to awareness of forces greater than the individual, which move into and out from us in waves of concentric circles, from friends to neighborhood to town to state to country to continent to planet to spirit and back. We don’t have the luxury of getting lost in reverie, though, as Mercury and Mars in Taurus anchor us on terra firma and direct our minds and energy to earth-bound endeavors. Mercury is direct now, allowing us to begin to move ahead on the practical information he dug up while retracing his steps during the retrograde. Mars is down-shifting our actions from the gung-ho drive of Aries to the slower, deliberate mode of Taurus. By the weekend, Venus will be in her Taurus home, too, a shift that brings relationships and finances into the mix of life areas that are grounding us.

We get a soft launch to the week, with a void of course Moon first thing Monday morning (from 4:33 AM to 11:17 AM EDT). This gives a soft, gentle touch to activities and our experience of time. Even if your schedule is jam-packed, you’re likely not to feel urgency and anxiety. Banish any that do attempt to intrude on you. Nothing rarely comes of projects and matters that are started under a void of course Moon; in fact, it can be baffling hard to make progress on projects that are already underway. Brainstorm; relax; float on the energy. And write down any dream fragments that stayed with you from Sunday night. Early morning Moon/Uranus contacts shot revelations and insights like lightning bolts into our dreams. The fragments that stay with you may not make sense at first, but they provide keys. Hang onto them so they’ll be handy when the locks they fit present themselves.

One may do just that Tuesday when Venus aspects Uranus and the Aquarius cluster. A development that day demonstrates how your values and self-worth are evolving and provides the chance to put them in action. Relationship dynamics or a financial exchange are likely arenas for this, but that could be anything that involves or reflects what you value in general or about yourself. And on the topic of self-worth: have you noticed lately that you are giving more respect to your own unique bundle of talents, skills, abilities and interests? Especially the ones that you’ve honed simply because they captivated, engaged and inspired you, not because they were practical or might earn money? The funny thing is, all those talents, skills, activities and interests do end up helping support you, sometimes indirectly, but sometimes quite tangibly. The more you accept and give expression to all the parts of yourself, the greater regard you radiate for yourself and the greater the exchange others offer you. Watch what types of opportunities open up Tuesday. Venus’ links facilitate artistic, creative, social and spiritual endeavors. Don’t hold back on them; they could advance you.

Regardless of how the surface events play out, in the bigger, long-term picture Venus’s contacts Tuesday are charging up our relationships, financial assets and attitudes, personal resources and values with the cluster’s boundary-blurring, therapeutic, expansive and liberating energy. A helpful meditative icon is the Ten of Pentacles as depicted in the Rider-Waite Tarot. That image arranges the pentacles into the Tree of Life, representing spiritual energy taking physical form on earth. Everything is being imbued with spirit, even the coins in our pockets and credit cards in our wallets. Everything. Keep that concept with you. It will gradually but inevitably reshape how you handle money and objects, how you treat other people and how you treat yourself.

The middle of the week brings another quiet, gentle stretch as the Moon is void of course again all Wednesday afternoon. Her last contact before the void is to Venus, which suits this afternoon to socializing and incubating creative ideas. Move time-sensitive tasks off the schedule, and don’t place emotional attachment on the staying power of any tasks that circumstances force you to pursue.

Put paper and pen by your bedside Wednesday night. Dreams are intense, profound and possibly cathartic between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, with Mars and the Moon both contacting Pluto. Their workings are powerful enough to warrant programming your dreams more specifically than asking for insight into a situation. Ask to be shown how to move forward, how to resolve a situation or how to align your conscious will with divine will. Come morning, there may not be many dream specifics to remember; the activity will have taken place on that deep a level. Write down what is going through your mind as you awaken, and take note of how you feel emotionally.

Friday the Sun squares Saturn and sets up the dynamic of Sunday’s Full Moon in Sagittarius, when both the Sun and Moon will be in this aspect to Saturn. The Sun’s stay so far in airy Gemini has been weighted by the sign’s ruler Mercury being earth-bound in Taurus. Communication and mental activity have been in a steady, unrushed, thorough and practical mode. Friday our egos come to ground, too, with details that require attention. The Sun/Saturn square demands responsibility and accountability. We may have to answer for actions or inaction, for something we said or a communication we left unanswered. We may be forced to take on obligations (instead of “forced,” think “pressured” instead; we always have a choice, even if it’s not an easy one). We are being urged to take responsibility for ourselves, our lives and our metaphoric gardens. As we do this, it is important to safeguard personal boundaries. Intactness is critical as boundaries dissolve and we grow consciously attuned to the interconnectedness of all life. Maintaining individuality in the midst of the collective requires knowing where you (and your business) stops and someone else starts. Friday, we’re shown a matter that’s ours to handle. Whether to deal with it or not is our choice, but it’s not going away if the choice is ignore it. It’ll be back on Sunday, with an emotional charge to boot, when the Moon squares Saturn late morning EDT.

Our comfort with earthly matters increases when Venus moves into her home base of Taurus on Saturday and starts to catch up with her traveling companion Mars. She’ll be home for four weeks and meet Mars just before the midpoint on June 21. The goddess of relationships and money loves life in the sensual rooms of Taurus, where she is free to savour tastes and textures and aromas and generally enjoy being in a body. This time around, though, her sensibilities are different. They are still reverberating from her brushes with Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and Uranus on Tuesday. She has touched generosity of spirit, the higher octave of love, the font of healing and the cosmic awakener. Each contact has expanded her heart and altered the way she perceives everything in her domain. Watch how they have affected your own perceptions as well.

The week ends with the Sagittarius Full Moon midafternoon Sunday, just a few hours after the Moon squares Saturn. The Sun, the Moon and Saturn are forming a t-square, a tense and ping-ponging aspect pattern that requires going through Saturn in Virgo to find resolution. That message again — put our lives, schedules, environments and bodies in order. The skies have only been counseling this since the end of summer 2007, when Saturn entered Virgo. We’ve got only a few months more to get with the program. Harmonizing our minds and hearts requires it, with this Full Moon. Our minds and hearts are to work together in earthly existence, and their task of the moment is tending to our Saturn in Virgo work. A longer discussion appears in my Full Moon Report on the site.

Mundane: Thank you to the many readers who have e-mailed about how the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune/Uranus traveling party has been affecting them. (I feel like Sally Fields at the Academy Awards!) The messages so far range from unprecedented fogginess to healing of a childhood wound of major magnitude. If you have found your mental processes working differently this year, or if you know that the traveling party is making tight aspects to your chart, I would love to learn about your experiences. I am particularly interested in what has been happening with mid-February Aquarians (the Aquarius cluster is on top of your Sun) and anyone born between October 1955 and July 1956 (the Aquarius cluster is opposing your Jupiter/Pluto conjunction). Please feel free to email me about your own experiences. All identities will be kept confidential.
