Weekly Weather Report

by Stephanie Azaria

Significant Planetary Aspects for:

Relationship lab is unmistakably in session. The first round hasn’t allowed us to ease into it by any means, as you have no doubt observed over the past week or two. Instead, it’s thrown us deeply into examining connections and sharing and reciprocity, in interpersonal relationships as well as group dynamics.

We’re still reeling from and processing the days around November 15 and 16, which brought an intensity that is extreme even for what the cosmos has been dealing out lately. Think of the walls you hit, the realizations you reached, the organizational ruptures you witnessed and the connections that snapped within you and between you and others. Think, too of how many end-of-an-era deaths of friends, relatives and dear, long-lived pets you experienced or heard about. As an attachment broke, profoundly sorrowful and disorienting emotions slipped through the resulting fissures and sandbagged many of us, with a pervasiveness that transcended whatever the immediate trigger was and seemingly defied consolation. If that happened to you, consider the probability — not just the possibility, the probability — that what you were experiencing was not entirely your emotion. In fact, it was probably hardly yours at all, but a wave from someone else that came over and into you when it resonated with some tiny piece of you. That ties back into relationship lab, which was showing us, if we could see it, how we affect each other energetically and how we sometimes, unknowingly, carry burdens for others. That’s not our job, Saturn taught us during his sojourn in Virgo over the past two years.

So look again at any times recently when you felt horrible emotionally, particularly if the feeling washed over you all of a sudden. Think back to the conversations you had just before the feeling hit. What were you told that shook you? Who delivered the message? There’s the conduit, if not the source, of the feeling. Remember this. Do something to clear any residue you’re still experiencing and get it out of your energy field — dance, write a letter and burn it, blow the debris into balloons and send them to the sun for recycling. (Do not send it back to the person you think gave it to you!) Then, the next time you experience the phenomenon, stop and ask: Does this feeling belong to me? And if it doesn’t, get it out of your system right then.

The intensity we all experienced spun off from the exact square on November 15 between Saturn, the ruler of structures and in the sign of relationships and Pluto, the transformer and in Saturn’s sign of structures. This intensity isn’t going away any time soon; we’re just going to get more used to living with it as the two giants continue to travel in this dynamic aspect through the end of next summer. There will be two more peaks of intensity, in January and in August.

This week, the reverberations of the first pass of the square are still very much with us. A lot of processing is in store. The Sun and Saturn offer us the opportunity to take responsibility for our selves, our actions and our choices, which then allows us to assume a measure of authority and dominion over our lives. (Own up to your side of the equation and stepping stones will appear before you.) The Sun and Mars both make minor aspects to Pluto, which put our ego and will through the stripping down and purifying that he requires. Regardless of what the other party may have done or failed to do in the last week or two, it is time to clean up our side of the equation (that concept again!) and retool the masculine part of our being. The will and ego must align with our true power, which comes from being honest and true to ourselves and linking up with higher will as well. Mars and Venus contact Pluto by declination, too, and subject issues of internal and relationship balance to his purifying influence. Mars’ contact, on Tuesday, is harsh and jarring, pitting our agenda against a higher plan (and you know which of those will win). On Saturday, Venus teams up with Pluto, heating up desires and escalating the stakes financially and in love.

By then, desires and stakes will be radically different than they are when we start out the week. That’s before Venus gets to Pluto, she runs them all by Jupiter, Chiron, Uranus and Neptune, in that order. Her square to Jupiter on Monday implants his expansive optimism into our desires, relationships, financial dealings and, most of all, concepts of what we value tangibly and about ourselves. Dream bigger, for now and the future. Reach out to your network of heart-aligned souls (the phrase “like-minded” isn’t appropriate anymore.) Allow joy and heaven-kissed possibilities to flood your heart and all your interactions. Her square to Chiron on Tuesday accelerates the easing of remaining heart wounds and cellular memories of being less than acceptable. Watch for social interactions to demonstrate how far you have come and how much you have accepted and assimilated your intrinsic worth. She then blows the carbon out on Wednesday with a trine to Uranus, which clears out clutter and impediments in our thinking as well as situations. She finishes the gauntlet on Friday with a square to Neptune, which unhinges experiences from worldly existence and hands out rose-tinted lenses for the day. The pressure galvanizes mundane love and desire with the higher octaves of love and compassion. It will also romanticize some people and situations into forms that will not stand up to the light of day. Don’t worry about being fooled for long. Pluto will adjust as necessary.

Monday: Friendship and relationship issues rule the day. The Moon, Venus and Jupiter do-si-do: The Moon squares Venus, the Moon meets Jupiter, then Venus squares Jupiter. With the Moon in Aquarius, everybody’s your friend, but the squares to Venus in Scorpio make one side or other of the equation hunger for more. None of this is jolting; it’s just activating. Allow your heart to open and expand and soar. It will guide you beyond your normal confines and let you touch the future and the boundless possibilities of what we can create and experience there. If some self-indulgence follows, well, so be it. (It wouldn’t hurt to monitor your appetites and hang tight to your wallet, though.) Personal power issues light up as the day goes on. Progress and satisfaction both come when you operate from the power base of knowing and embracing who you really are.

Tuesday: We awaken to a void Moon that continues into late morning EST. Last night’s dreams were sweet, escapist and cinematic, thanks to a conjunction to Neptune late last night that propelled the Moon into the void. Allow the gentleness of the dreamworld to carry over into waking hours and bask in the memory of it. Yesterday’s stretching in the relationship department leads to self-mastery today as Venus squares Chiron. Social and financial interactions invite you to overcome and put away any lingering concepts of yourself as damaged. You don’t have to be a slave to ancient misgivings and phobias. Committing to yourself is the key. You have grown and matured, so update your internal definitions to time present and see yourself as the capable adult you are. Step up to every opportunity to act autonomously and responsibly.

Wednesday: Venus continues down the outer planet gauntlet and opens the floodgates with Uranus. Hearts and money are wild today. Notice who and what shows up today. All of it will have a touch of being heaven-sent. At a minimum, perspectives get a makeover. People present themselves out of the blue. Logjams break; walls fall down. If you’re puzzling over a situation, ask for guidance. Given a choice between something familiar and something that goes against your norm, opt for the untried.

Thursday: Is your heart is developing a taste for change yet? More breathing room is certainly on tap, whether you welcome it with open arms or tumble into it gasping. A Moon/Uranus meeting jolts us into the day while coffee has barely begun brewing in holiday kitchens on the East Coast. (Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!) Hearts are still tingling as the Moon embraces Venus and pushes off at 9:18 AM EST into a 13-hour void. Relationships stay at center stage as the day floats on. Talk, text and brainstorm as much as you are inspired to do, without attaching to either outcome or staying power. Lower and higher love are increasingly in contact as the day goes on, as Venus completes her tour of the outer planets with an early evening square to Neptune. Their impact supports seeing the best in every situation. It’s a helpful combination for moving a relationship onto more sweet, compassionate and loving ground. Just keep in mind that newly forming contacts might not be as they seem; they could take on a glamour that dissipates in the light of day.

Friday: Relationship desires and impulses have been building all week, and today we get to act on them at last. Venus has run her desires by Jupiter (for expansion), Chiron (for healing), Uranus (for new and liberating approaches) and Neptune (for enlightenment). As Venus now faces off with her cosmic consort Mars, she tells him in no uncertain terms what she wants. Let off steam and make a play for it. Watch for sparking a la screwball comedies erupting all around. We’ll be flirting, playing, cajoling, conniving and challenging each other. Have fun with it. And if you head for the malls for holiday shopping, keep your wits about you. Tempers could be flaring.

Saturday: If you stay out late, be braced for a huge, powerful outburst of passion and attraction. For those of us who take to bed before midnight, dreams bring huge, powerful clues about huge, powerful desires. We wake up motivated to push our hearts’ agendas and find words to express them easily. Throughout the afternoon the Moon touches Jupiter, Chiron, Uranus and Neptune, in opportunity aspects to the Aquarian planets and a growth aspect to Uranus. We’re emotionally assimilating what Venus experienced and awakened to as she ran the same gauntlet earlier in the week. Admit your heart’s desire to yourself and embrace it. You’re bringing it down from your dreams into physical reality.

Sunday: Even though it’s the final morning of a long weekend, don’t be surprised if your brain kicks in early and nudges you to get up and get talking. Thoughts are clear and communications are effusive and happy early in the day. Take advantage of the warmth; it’s not going to last all day. Or even all morning, because the energy quickly spirals into uneasiness. Remember that everyone is subject to this disorienting vibe and monitor your actions and words. Pushing, prodding, confronting or demanding will tip the uneasiness into outright discomfort and conflict. Keep your own counsel as the day winds down. If you find yourself in circumstances that are a distant reality from the heart’s desire you have identified, you’re not going to make it appear by confronting what’s in front of your face. Bide your time. The Saturn/Pluto metamorphosis will afford plenty of opportunity to retool your circumstances. You are not going to fix them tonight, but you could make the immediate situation more unpleasant. So still. Go within. Work on your interior remodeling.
