Just when you thought the tension due to crazy planetary line ups was over, think again! This week has another exciting interplay of cosmic energies afoot to bring you yet another wallop of feeling, “what am I doing, and what is my purpose here, anyway?” Roommates, spouses, children, and co-workers are all pushing your buttons to remind you of the wounds that you’re carrying and the current issues that you – not others – need to work on.
The fun starts on Monday with Jupiter in Aries opposing Saturn in Libra. The fun, adventuresome, excited and expansive energy of Jupiter clashing with the disciplined, authoritative taskmaster known as Saturn. Here you will find the tension between wanting to bust free, break all the rules, and be yourself verses the need for structure, discipline, and consideration of others. The work has to be done within your partnerships. Don’t think that you can do it all alone.
On Tuesday, the Moon in Sagittarius offers a lighthearted mood that encourages you to seek higher ground. Turning to a book on spirituality or philosophy will help you find key tidbits of wisdom and encouragement that will help shed some light on the bigger issues that you are working through at this pivotal time.
Also at the time of the Sagittarius Moon, the energy calls for a deeper connection with your breath and your own soul – that perfect part of you that sometimes get ignored or pushed out of the way by the mind or the emotions. Engaging in a solid practice of pranayam this week will help you quiet the mind and connect to the part of you that really matters.
The one minute breath is an easy and effective practice that you can do anywhere. Try it in the car, while waiting in line, or any other time that you might be feeling stressed or anxious. At first you may want to try it in 12 or 15 second intervals, with the intension of gradually working up to 20 seconds of inhale, 20 seconds hold, and 20 seconds exhale.
Thursday August 19 is the day to get down to business. This is the day to make a list and conquer it. You will wake up feeling refreshed, energized, and anxious to get started on whatever it is that you have on your plate. Your work will be efficient, effective, and rewarding. Your power to get things down will astound even you!
On Friday, the big news is that Mercury goes retrograde! From this date until September 12, the planet of the mind will appear to be moving backwards in the sky. As it does, you may feel as if your own mind is moving backwards as well! You forget your cell phone at home during the times you need it most, your printer doesn’t seem to have any relationship at all with your computer, and everything you say seems to be misinterpreted by the one you love most.
To the benefit of all, Mercury in retrograde is a time to reflect, review, and renew yourself. Take some time off work if you can! Re-organize old photo albums, and look through past journals. Collect on any money that is owed to you, but be sure not to sign any new agreements or buy anything with mechanical or electrical parts. What you purchase now may turn out to be a lemon later on!
With Saturn’s square to Pluto on Saturday, you may feel as if the whole world is starting to crumble! The message now is transform or be transformed! There is no escaping the simple truth that things are coming to a head and direct, conscious, aligned action needs to be taken – even if this means letting go of something that you have worked hard to build up for ages.
On Saturday evening, the Moon moves into Aquarius, thereby putting a rather mental spin on everything – even your emotions. Your loved one may seem rather distant tonight – and all day Sunday as well. Don’t take it personally, just realize that he or she has a lot on the mind and is trying to think – instead of feel – his or her way to everything. (note that you may be doing the same thing as well!)
Sunday is good for connecting electronically. Networking through the internet will help you commune with the kind of people you really resonate with. Being with people of like-minds is important on this day – even if it just happening virtually. Answer your e mails, explore on-line communities and chat rooms.
On Sunday night, the Sun moves into Virgo for its four-week trip through the sign of the virgin – but more on that next week! For now, just hang on and enjoy the ride!
