Weekly Weather Report

Significant Planetary Aspects for:

Kathy is offering a 30-minute reading of how this summer’s change energies are affecting you at the special rate of $90, good for bookings scheduled and paid by August 15, 2010.

We are still in the thick of the drama of this past weekend’s lunar eclipse in Capricorn. It is ever so slowly starting to recede, but the intensity and the issues will continue to play out this week and beyond. We are in the process of refining our concepts of long term security, in terms of finances, emotional needs, career goals and family/tribal allegiances. The questions we’re grappling with are huge and consequential: Where do we fit in? Where is home? Who is family? What do we want to build over the next, say, decade? In some way, big or small, revelations have been pouring in — and emotions have been pouring out — that touch on these questions.

Everything continues to feel intense, larger-than-life, and guided by a hand more insistent and powerful than any mortal’s. Think of the people and scenarios that have occupied your time over the last week. They consumed you, didn’t they? Some of them are still quite alive in your consciousness and energy field, too. We’ve been in total immersion, dropping ourselves more deeply into memories, sensations and desires than we have ever dared allow ourselves before. We are living more in the moment, giving ourselves over to the immediate energy without feelers shooting out from our hearts and minds into the past and to the future. Some of these immersing experiences are akin to time traveling, awakening and revisiting dynamics, relationships and attitudes that once loomed large in our lives. (Think of all the people from the past who’ve resurfaced, in thought or body, and whose role in your universe got reconsidered and re.) Some of these experiences are plunging us into powerful, raw emotional, soul-baring exchanges, dredging up confessions and realizations that we may not have been consciously aware of ourselves before the words flew from us. All have a sharpness and ferocity in the sensations they deliver. The time travel moments in particular bring to mind the story of the man who spies and eats a wild strawberry in the moments as he is clinging to a branch that he knows will break and throw him to his death in a ravine. In that time-slowed moment, with his senses heightened as never before, the strawberry became the most delicious food he had ever tasted.

Many of these moments have been intense. Many are stirring emotions and passions and desires and fears within us that are still roiling within us. Many have brought the clang of a door slamming behind us and sending something irretrievably into the past. Some of the doors we’ve kicked shut, while others we haven’t seen until we were startled by the boom of their finality. The finality aspect of this process is still ongoing. Use this week to continue focusing, streamlining, clarifying, prioritizing, cutting out that which has outlived its health or usefulness or desirability, zeroing in on the qualities, if not the specific people or situations, that you want to nurture and build and amputating the ones that you don’t. Use that framework to process what happened last week as well. Yes, intense, tumultuous events have been playing out, but stand back and admit to yourself: The clearings and clarity and outright transformations have had a miraculous quality to them, haven’t they? They were quick and clean (thank goodness), they have simplified and purified your life enormously, and they are telling you, again and again, that you are now in a new phase. A completely different phase. We’re no longer in freefall waiting for the rule book to be replaced. We are now in a new game, on a new field. enormously, and they are telling you, again and again, that you are now in a new phase. It’s as if someone has cut on the dotted line, and what is left is stark and clean, sparse and choice.

The vibe of endings, clarifying and focusing will continue all week as Jupiter and Pluto glide toward the action-dynamic clash of a square, which will be exact early next month. Don’t be surprised if you clear out more than you initially set out to, once you get on a roll. It may be like cleaning a closet and becoming so intoxicated by the sight of space on the floor and between the clothes and the wall that you find yourself tossing out more and more and more. Be on the lookout, too, for increasing awareness of exactly what is going on as this aspect builds. When the Sun and Mercury link up at the beginning of the week, information abounds about the drama and sagas of the eclipse and especially about their greater meaning for the long term. Our masculine side (the will and the mind) is double-teaming, so we’ll communicate ourselves effectively and be alert to picking up on and processing the messages that others are passing on to us. With both the Sun and Mercury in Cancer, much of what we’re talking and thinking about will involve family issues, dynamics and dramas, questions of nurturing and tribal allegiances, traditions and expectations.

Against this backdrop, Uranus enters the station for his retrograde, which kicks in next week. His presence in the first degree of the zodiac since the end of May has been the catalyst, match or Molotov cocktail for the new way of being that we are all entering. He will remain in this degree until the middle of August, when he retreats back into Pisces for the rest of the year and beyond. He will not turn direct until early December and will not return to Aries until mid-March, when the next phase fully and finally bursts into being. For now, we are getting a second look at what has been exploding in us, out from us and all around us. There may be second third or fourth bursts, like the final couple of firecrackers on a string going off well after the others have detonated. With Uranus, no one can ever say for certain. Whatever happens will break up preconceived notions and maybe a few recently conceived ones. If you’re clinging too tightly to something, it could well be blown out of your grip. We are all playing with fire these days. Play responsibly, with safety goggles and gloves, please.

Monday: Many of us awaken into a void of course Moon (5:57 – 8:53 AM EDT), so enjoy the soft launch into the day and the week. (After this weekend…it is a gift to ease into anything.) Pay attention to what you hear, think and say today. The meaning of messages will be right on the surface; words will drip with emotion and sentiment. You’re getting clear on what last week and the weekend mean to you long term.

Tuesday: A nervous, out-of-sorts vibe permeates the day, as if there’s a low level, high-pitched hum you can’t track down or turn off. Don’t be surprised if everyone reacts by overcompensating — talking and laughing too much, too quickly, too loudly; finding excuse after excuse to get up from the desk and visit everyone in the office; making impulse purchases; and seeking out instant gratification. The munchies could be rampant. Confront your emotions consciously and you may save yourself a lot of unwanted calories and clothing purchases that leave you unsatisfied.

Wednesday: The edginess continues and takes on a pronounced edge. Everything feels like it’s moved an inch to the side from where it should be. People feel out of phase with themselves. Conversations are mildly out of sync. What you wanted (or thought you wanted) isn’t where you last saw it. Go easy. Pushing and clutching will only complicate situations, and will not maneuver anything back into a comfortable place. Wind down in the evening, when the Moon is void of course from 6:04 to 9:11 PM EDT.

Thursday: A semblance of normalcy returns. Conversations feel like they’re getting someplace recognizable. People are responsive. Look for a door opening to implement a plan you’ve been putting together. (The path will not reach up and pull you through; you’ll have to walk through on your own two feet.)

Friday: The long holiday weekend begins with a quiet, easy morning that slides into growing discomfort in the afternoon. When you place expectations on people, you are creating your own recipe for frustration and disappointment. Do hold people to their word, but do not project onto them what you have decided they should do, without obtaining their explicit agreement. Relations have enough potential for the walls closing in tonight without your adding criticism or judgment into the mix. Tread carefully.

Saturday: The energy is higher, lighter and more optimistic this morning; take advantage of it and enjoy. Diciness, punchiness and the potential for clashes of will are on the rise as daylight fades. Be aware again of your expectations and whether the other person raised them or you projected them. Keep the fireworks in the sky.

Sunday: Happy Fourth of July! All the aspects belong to the Moon, as they have since Friday, and only one of them is major. Unfortunately, the skies are not helping out with a happy party atmosphere for the cookouts and picnics planned for today. The bottom line is that no one is comfortable within themselves. Keep your own counsel and side step blame games.
