Weekly Weather November 6, 2006
Carry your camera and tape recorder with you all week long! You are not going to want to miss a single thing that goes on. The action will be fast and furious, as Mercury continues to retrograde in Scorpio waking up all sorts of folks and ghosts from your past. Chat up every contact calling on your phone or standing in your path ~ Each ghost is a gift from the universe! Talk to folks you are not too sure you want to talk to. Mercury is exceptionally busy, making all sorts of aspects to his buddies in the sky. Record it! Every one is waking up and going “WOW, I get it!” Trust me, you’ll like (or need to know) what you hear!
Now, Mercury in Scorpio listens more than he talks. His job, as the Lord of Communications, is to gather data and spread stories around the world. While going retrograde in Scorpio, Mercury gathers all sorts of SECRET and potentially shocking information with the express purpose of spreading it around to Reveal The Secrets and Shock The Listeners. Anticipate all sorts of interesting secrets being revealed in your own world and the wider world! On some level, you’ve known the secret ~ in your soul or below the surface of your conscious mind or in that tiny space that notices something is just a touch off but you are so busy that you just keep on going. At another level, you have chosen to ignore the secret or not pay too much attention to it. You are not going to be able to ignore, avoid, or pretend not to hear Mercury’s news this week. Mercury is talking way too loud to way too many people and planets for any secrets not to leak right out.
Venus is quite busy too. She’s moving forward in Scorpio and activating that lovely fixed T-Square of ours. As she moves forward to wake up the t-square, she’s going to ask Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune to get her what she wants. Now, Venus as one of the few female planets in the heavens usually gets what she wants from the boys. However, this week, she’s in quite a mood. She’s acting like she did that last week in August when she was rolling through Leo. Remember how much fun THAT week was? Well, now Venus is in Scorpio. Scorpio makes her much more vicious, mean and manipulative when she’s NOT getting what she wants. Venus is going to act up big time this week to get what she wants. Scorpio also gives her the ability to cut right through to the clarity of the situation to DIRECTLY handle any manipulation IF SHE CHOOSES. I encourage you to take all dubious Venus situations (those involving money, values or love) and lay them out on the table. Let all involved see the parts and pieces of the dubious Venus situation. Expose the secrets, especially if they’ve been operating under the cover of darkness for a while. Sunshine is an amazing disinfectant! Now, if you’ve been doing something not quite honorable AND not dealing with it directly, there is a VERY good chance that you will get caught this week. I encourage you to fess up when confronted. It will get much worse if you deny it!
Mars in Scorpio has a lovely, crazy behavior type trine to Uranus which will be set off by a crabby aspect to Pluto. Watch for power over or Pluto like triggers to set off unusual reactions from folks you know. The nicest, warmest and most friendly people can completely lose their temper or cool under aspects like these. Encourage all to do their Saturn instead. You know, that whoosh energy can be very big when Mars gets into the mix.
The Sun in Scorpio has quite a few aspects, including squaring the Neptune leg of the t-Square. Don’t expect things to be clear as Neptune and the Sun working together are going to make things foggy. You will need to speak CLEARLY and DIRECTLY. You will probably have to repeat yourself a few times. You will STILL might not be heard or understood. Our Retrograde Mercury is combust the Scorpio Sun as well as aspecting Neptune. This is a prime aspect for MIS-DIAGNOSIS or MIS-UNDERSTANDING or MIS-COMMUNICATION. So IF YOU GET BAD NEWS THIS WEEK, revisit it AFTER Mercury goes direct and the Sun gets far away from Neptune. For example, a few years back my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer on comparable Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. He announced he was NOT going to have any sort of treatment as he’s rather be dead than not have sex for the rest of his life. (Aries Sun, Leo Moon with Mars/Pluto conjunct in Cancer). Suffice to say, I was upset. However, once Mercury went direct, he changed his mind, had cancer treatment and his parts remained in working order. So, if you get distressing news, don’t get your knickers bunched up in a twist! The news will probably completely change in a few weeks after the aspects clear up a bit.
The lovely aspects that happen this week are why I’ve been encouraging you to do your Saturn over the last few months. We’ve been building your Saturn muscle for the fall of 2006. If you get anxious, fearful, scared or whatever whoosh takes you away, calm yourself right down by doing your Saturn. Saturn’s going to ask you to be accountable for your actions during the week ahead. All that planetary energy jumping on the Scorpio leg of the t-square has to go some place! Make sure to do your Saturn so the excess energy goes into the Taurus house to create what you want. Saturn wants you to be accountable. He’s going to ask you to be responsible. You can do it. Shoulders back, chest out, deep breath and do your Saturn.
Monday, Venus fights with Neptune as Mars argues with Saturn. Remember there are MANY ways to get things accomplished. The Universe is asking you to take a different tack and try a new approach. Same old, same old is going to get a no. We think we’d like things to change and yet we keep on doing the same old behaviors. Today the Universe will tell you, loud and clear, that if you WANT to change something YOU have to change. They are NOT going to change!
Tuesday, you are probably still arguing with them that THEY have to change as Mercury joins with Venus. Nope. They are not going to change. If you want it to change, YOU change. Sun and Mars’ aspects to Pluto say the power struggle can accelerate and accelerate very rapidly.
Wednesday, Mercury is going to disappear, not function and very likely pout for a bit as the Sun burns him up. When Mercury is this close to the Sun, there is a single mindedness of purpose that can cause combustion due to intensity, obstinate and dogmatic beliefs. On a bad day that is. It also is one of those magical days to ask for things to get things to move. Be careful what you ask for as the Sun’s intense fiery energy to Mercury will cause situations and events to flare up! If you try a different tactic or approach you can get your changes through. But you HAVE to SHIFT your approach! Take all that hard won and definitely earned consciousness from over the past year and apply it. What have you learned? Use your wisdom. Now is the time.
Thursday, Sun and Mercury’s aspect to Neptune will have a magical ability to create, for good or evil, in your life. Mercury is joining with Pluto by declination giving him extra super duper power. Expect clarity in your own life even if you can’t find words to explain it. Focus your intention on the positive things you’d like to create in your life. No, no, no negative focus, no nasty self talk nor demeaning words to yourself or others today.
Friday, Mercury joins by declination with Mars giving him marching orders on what to do next. Mars is going to approach the t-square over the next few weeks and set it off. Now Venus has been through the t-square. Sun is on his way through it. Mercury has been through it and is on his way backwards through it and will head back forward through it in a few weeks. So today Mercury is carrying messages for Mars. Mars is how we get things. Make sure to speak very clearly and concisely to Mars. Mars is about to run through the t-square and send all the planets spinning off i
nto new directions.
S
aturday, Mercury joins by conjunction with Mars. RE-read Friday! Venus has a lovely aspect to Chiron. We create what we want and need in our lives to help us grow. If you don’t like what you have in your life, reframe those words of yours today and be crystal clear about what you’d like to see.
Sunday Venus trines the North Node telling the Universe where you want to head. Venus then squares Saturn bringing up issues from the last week in August. You don’t have to do it any more. Mercury’s conversation with Saturn says like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, you’ve had the ability to go home all the time. You just had to tap your heels together. Is it really THAT easy? Yep. But if you knew it was that easy, you probably wouldn’t have believed Mercury any way. Tap your heels and keep tapping them until you get what you want.
Mundane: Election day is Tuesday! Hopefully, we’ll get checks and balances by turning majorities in the House or the Senate (or both) back over to the Democrats. We’ve had 12 years of Republicans, preceded by 12 years of Democrats. Fingers crossed the voting machines aren’t TOO rigged to prevent the turn over of the House and Senate. No invasion of Iran yet ~ we might be home free…..
