This week in astro-weather - high energy, constraints, and more change (some assembly required)

(Blog art by the incredible Georgia O’Keeffe - Feather with Bird’s Bone)

I selected this painting because of the contrast in elements - the lightness of the feather speaks to the air of Gemini that is abundant right now while the bones speak to the reality of Saturn helping us bring something from our mind into form.

This week brings changes in direction, high energy, potential for conflict & anxiety, and some small amounts of resolution.

Tomorrow, Mars conjoins Jupiter in the middle of Gemini: this is a high-energy, cerebral meeting that seems particularly zany with Gemini’s ruler Mercury trekking backward AND changing signs (from Virgo to Leo).

New Moon in Leo: Making Sense of Great Change

The last new moon seed stood across the sky from Pluto, dredging up all sorts of ‘underworld’ material.

Our next new moon, in Leo on August 16th, tightly squares Uranus. Uranus is a disruptive and innovative influence. A square aspect suggests some strong tension erupting inside of us, a need to make decisions and plant directions that support greater sovereignty.

From 2012 to 2015, Uranus and Pluto danced in a square aspect with one another. This was the first turning point in their cycle that began in the late 60s. Recall Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street as key events during this opening square.

It feels like our last new moon opposite Pluto and our upcoming new moon square Uranus gives us an opportunity to integrate and embody key revolutions in our personal lives.

While the last few years have been full of upheaval, so were the years previous! Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and brought financial crisis, and we are just wrapping up that storyline, slowly.
