Weekly Weather March 26, 2007
Pluto stations on the Galactic Center on Saturday March 31. I made a point to attend lectures on the Galactic Center at my recent astrology conference. The Galactic Center is the point the entire Milky Way, as well as our cute little Solar system, pivots around. The Galactic Center is the “Sun” of our Milky Way Galaxy. All the stars in the Milky Way revolve around the Galactic Center. Remember the t-shirts with an arrow pointing to a white dot saying, “You are here!” amidst a swirly photo of the Milky Way? There was a swirling dark spot at the top of the photo ~ that is the Galactic Center! During the week ahead, we have Pluto joined to the Galactic Center and stationing on it ~ looking at us and saying “Well?” At least from our perspective here on Planet Earth. Gonna be a big week!
The “Well?” asked by Pluto stationing on the Center of the Universe we live in can best be translated as “Ready to evolve?” “Ready to change?” “Do you get it now?” Of course, the premise of Pluto stationing on the Galactic Center and asking IF we are ready to evolve and change assumes a sentient, connected and conscious universe. And we are in a sentient, connected and conscious universe!
Think back to your biology courses about your body. All the different organs, made up of little cells, do their various jobs. There were the eye cells which saw (Mercury), the liver cells that processed and found a purpose for every thing (Jupiter), the small intestine cells which sorted and assimilated nutrients (Virgo), the red, iron filled blood cells that moved around, delivering oxygen, food and taking away waste (Mars). Most days, when the body is going about its business, every cell knows its cell job and does it. Every cell chats with the cells that stop by delivering oxygen or nutrients or who live in the neighborhood. Your body relies on the various cells to do their cell jobs and keep you alive.
If we expand that concept to our neighborhoods, where each of our individual bodies and families live, we see the same pattern. Mars delivers the food and takes away the garbage, our Jupiter’s (preachers, wise folks, leaders) process and attempt to make sense of it all while we do our Virgo jobs, tasks and live our lives. In my Medieval Astrology class, we were quite surprised to find out that the vast majority of us have chart patterns that respond to Virgo, slave, servant, or support system of the bigger collective picture. We are all cells in the family human!
Make it yet a big bigger system and the various countries around the world become organs in the world’s and our larger body. They might speak a different language but every country is part of the same sentient, connected and conscious picture. Perhaps we are even MORE connected in the days of internet, satellites and communication. Or rather, NOW we are consciously AWARE of the connection to each other that has ALWAYS been there (at least as far as the planets in the heavens were concerned ~ for they oversee yet a LARGER part of the system). After all, if we think back to our physical body, our nervous system keeps track of everything, monitoring our being, so in the larger system there probably IS some kind of nervous system connection in place that keeps track of all the other stuff going on in the cosmic body.
Back to astrology! Pluto stations on the Galactic Center on Saturn‘s day. In the old days, fight or flight were the options when a large dinosaur was charging at you. Your nervous system sent out an alert after your eyes noticed it or your ears heard it or you smelled it. (I imagine they MUST have smelled it coming ~ that is my Virgo talking!). Your body responded accordingly.
In the week ahead, keep your eyes open and pay attention to further developments in the story that started up in your life last Tuesday! Besides Pluto stationing on the Galactic center, Mercury and Uranus join up with each other and the wake up the North Node of destiny. Venus is quite active and causing a bit of a ruckus as she moves ahead this week. Venus IS polite about it but she also IS in her ruler Taurus.
Venus knows what she wants! Listen to her. Give Venus a bit of extra time this week ~ indulge in what you find Venusian ~ nails, hair, massage, facial, music, dance, singing, money, love, joy, beauty, investments, jewels ~ in those Venus moments you give to yourself and her the universe (or maybe Venus herself) will whisper in your ear. Tend to Venus and you will be surprised what happens.
The whole week builds toward the Pluto station on Saturn’s day, March 31. Aside from the Pluto station, there is a pile of other aspects Saturday ~ at least 17 by my count! Therefore, there is going to be a dinosaur or three stomping around on Planet Earth or coming a calling in your life. Now it MIGHT be a friendly dinosaur ~ one of your long lost evolutionary relatives! Alternatively, it might not be a very nice dinosaur. Use your senses to evaluate it and see what you see. Remember we are all connected ~ even to those darn dinosaurs!
Monday, Mars and Venus fight by declination. I do hate it when Mars and Venus are not getting along! There is a pretty long void moon in Cancer. Everyone retreat to your own corner, in a cosmic time out. Give yourself some extra Venus time. Think about your role in the matter. We are all connected. Sun’s aspect to Neptune suggests there may be unseen consequences for actions taken today out of ego or pride. Caution.
Tuesday, Mars trines Juno ~ some times people pick fights because that is the only way they can get out of something they do not want to do. If you want to fight with someone OR if someone wants to fight with you, notice it! The fight is NOT for the spoken or apparent reasons. It is related to the frustration from yesterday or to Venus not getting what she wanted. Suck it up. Take the high road. Insist, nicely. If you do not ask, you do not get.
Wednesday, our week starts to take off. Venus has a bunch of aspects today. Of particular interest is Venus talking to both Pluto and Saturn by declination as Pallas inspires her to be a bit more strategic in her focus. Focus on the bigger picture of where you want to go. Addressing immediate frustrations, while perhaps very SATISFYING, is NOT the solution. Think strategically! Big picture! Use that Mars in Aquarius energy to take a long view, a strategic view, and a detached view, of the complete process. At least as much of it as you can imagine! Mars is finally free from being tied down by Saturn’s and Neptune’s energy and blocks! Use Mars’ fine strategic mind in Aquarius! I know, he and Venus had a fight on Monday but they do love each other. So ask your Mars to get busy and take appropriate, conscious, strategic action.
Thursday, Venus continues to have heated discussions (arguments) with the Pluto and Chiron. Is it serving you? Is hanging onto whatever you are hanging onto helping you? How are you framing the argument? Your terms or THEIR terms? Sure, of course, you CAN continue to hold it up and show it off and say “poor me, poor me”. No, it was not nice or fun or jolly. Nevertheless, it is over! Now, you can take action and make some changes. You know I am voting for you to make the changes. How are you voting? Change IS SCARY!!! Often it is easier to stay same old, same old. What are you going to do?
Friday, Mercury’s square to Vesta says that old cocoon of yours does not feel quite right or fit any more. Change eh? Change is good! Make a list of what you want to change.
Saturday is going to be one heck of a busy day on Planet Earth. 17 aspects by my count (most days have 3 to 5), including a Pluto station on the Galactic Center. Saturday’s energy might even spill back earlier into the week depending on where all the stuff falls in your chart and life. Two focuses for the day. First focus: take the leap of faith and go for it. Say yes! I
t will take you where you ar
e supposed to be going, evolving or changing toward. Second focus: remember you are connected to everyone else on this globe, your city as well as your family. Act with that in mind. Stay Conscious!
Sunday, there is a magical thing that happens when we change how we view things in our world. Today, Mercury collaborates with Juno and the North Node of Destiny and Uranus. The moment of change and evolution is upon you, us, the world. Once every 19 years or so! Take the leap! Go for it! Good LUCK!!! I wish you the very BEST in your evolution! My heart and the rest of the planet’s hearts are with you as you go forth into your life! We all depend on each other to evolve to be our very best as a cell in the cosmic body! We are, each one of us, rooting for you!
Mundane: Were you watching? Last Tuesday, George Bush offered Congress a take it or leave it deal ~ an opportunity to speak with Karl Rove and Harriet Myers and their respective deputies, without sworn oaths to tell the truth, without written transcripts and hidden behind closed doors. Their testimony would be about the firing of eight US prosecutors by the Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General.
Pluto in Sagittarius is getting ready to head off into Capricorn! We began our journey of Pluto in Sagittarius with the O.J. Simpson Murder trial where we learned myriad items, facts and options about our judicial system. Now, as Pluto’s journey through Sadge ends, we are looking at our judicial system with close, clear eyes once again.
If you are breaking the ‘rules’ of the game AND you hire, fire, or control the ‘independent referees’ (prosecutors) who police and enforce the ‘rules’ of the game AND you CALL those independent referees (prosecutors) to say “Call fouls on the other team (Democrat) and ignore the rotten stuff my team (Republican) is doing.” If they say no, you fire eight of the referees (prosecutors) who DO NOT do what you want them to do. Moreover, you DO promote the referees (prosecutors) who DO what you want and make the calls you want made. Is that fair? Is that how the judicial system should work?
So Pluto stations on the Galactic Center and asks us “Well? What do you think?” As in “Well, are you ready to evolve?” “Well are you ready to change?” “Do you get it now?” Of course, the premise and power of the judicial system is finishing its face-to-face evolution with Pluto in Sagittarius. What do you think is fair and just? What is your belief system about higher justice? How do you view Sagittarius and the perception of righteousness?
Of course, the boys learned during Nixon- Watergate, Pluto in Virgo time, not to tape their conversations or erase 15 minutes of tape. The boys learned during Reagan -Iran-Contra, Pluto in Libra, not to leave a paper trail or at least not have your gorgeous secretary shred the paper trail in the White House basement. We now get to see what the boys learned during Pluto in Sagittarius …
In addition, on Tuesday, the pet food poisoning story became known. In our increasing connected world, we rely on other parts of our earth’s body for our sustenance. The rat poison used by China on the wheat used to make the pet food gluten was originally developed and deployed to treat cancer. It was chemotherapy! Cancer treatment moved onto other chemical substances but the manufacturers continue to sell the chemicals for other fine purposes, such as killing rats. Heck, even my father (and probably some one you know) is eating and living on rat poison! Cumaden thins my Dad’s blood and prevents strokes ~ too much of it and you bleed to death, but with just enough you don‘t have a stroke.
Rats, Pets, Us, the rest of the world, Galactic Center ~ all connected. Remember: First focus: take the leap of faith and go for it. Say yes! It will take you where you are supposed to be going, evolving or changing toward. Second focus: remember you are connected to everyone else on this globe, your city as well as your family. Act with that in mind. Stay Conscious!
