May 30th, 2017: Making Progress

  • Mars in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Sun in Gemini sextile Vesta in Leo: 9 degrees
  • Mercury in Taurus trine Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees

Mars/Uranus triggers a hit of ingenuity, plus the courage to do something with it. Actions are driven by restlessness, and would normally be quite scattered, were it not for the Mars/Saturn opposition.  The ease of the sextile means impatient/risky efforts have a positive outlet. You can attempt something different without tripping. This is one aspect in the top of the Kite, described here

Vesta adds focus to the Sun in Gemini’s multitasking. One choice is easier to make – watch for a pull in a certain direction. The Sun rules Leo, adding extra shine and purpose to Vesta’s devotion. Creative work, and pride in what you’re bringing to life, is fuelled by new information, discussions or contacts. 

Mercury/Juno suggests calm relationship discussions, or signing a contract between partners. Words support a mutual agreement, and all the basics are covered. There are no fancy promises or convoluted details, just straightforward ideas you can shake on. 

This is an excellent day for progress, cooperation and motivation.  

 

May 18th, 2017: Saturn/Uranus Trine

  • Saturn Rx in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries (26 degrees): evening of May 18th/morning of May 19th depending on time zone

Tonight or early tomorrow morning (depending on where you live) Saturn will perfect his trine to Uranus. Change (Uranus) is given form and focus (Saturn). New (Uranus) rules (Saturn) are implemented. 

If you have any planets around 26 degrees of the Cardinal signs, Uranus is currently shaking you up with hard aspects. Saturn is the stabilizer, and the reassurance that you’re not crazy. There really is something you can do with that restless urge or desire for escape. You can turn this into something real, as long as you’re prepared to work (Saturn). And, you have to moderate that initial impulse to do something extreme or risky. Saturn wants you to calm down and look at the opportunity. What can you do with this? Something needs to change, that’s for sure. What’s a sensible approach?

However, note that a trine is about flow – natural progress. Don’t confuse “work” with “force.” If you’re trying to force something to happen, or the change feels wrong, forget it. 

This is the second of three Saturn/Uranus trines: 

  • Dec 24th, 2016: Saturn trine Uranus Rx (20 deg)
  • Nov 11th, 2017: Saturn trine Uranus Rx (25 deg)

It’s also part of a current Grand Fire Trine, including the transiting North Node in Leo

In general, Saturn/Uranus is about measured progress. It’s ideal for edging forward into new territory that makes you uneasy. You can go slow – no one’s rushing you. 

 

May 3rd, 2017: Mercury Direct in Aries

  • Mercury direct: 24 degrees Aries (12:32 PM EDT)

Mercury stations direct within 1 degree of Uranus, giving this forward momentum more punch than usual. Although the exact conjunction between Mercury and Uranus will not take place until May 10th (25 degrees) we can expect the revelations to begin today. 

The usual end to delays and miscommunication will be juiced up with Uranus’ sudden clarity. The answer/understanding might arrive more quickly than anticipated. Or, you could be surprised by what you discover. If you’ve been procrastinating, this influence will make it clear that you must write it/say it/decide. Too, the choice could be taken out of your hands. 

 

 

 

 

Moon Conjunct/Quincunx Uranus ~ Shocking

Fiery energy is gathering around the coming eclipse on February 26. We are in an unusually unstable period.

Be cautious, calculate your actions, be prepared for unexpected arguments — and brilliant brain waves. We may all have to confront something or someone over the next few weeks, bravehearts. Let’s break it down. Mars Mars, the planet of aggression, war and action (and chilli peppers), smacks into Uranus, the planet of electricity, the unexpected and rebellion, […]
