Month: June 2010

This week more stuff will hit the fan. There is lots of tension in the current planetary configurations that spell trouble for just about anyone on the planet. Naturally, it is how you handle this tension that really counts. If you feel yourself losing control, let it go. Don’t try to restrain any situation. Flow with it, ride it to a place of safety. Life is mostly about things that you can’t control. However, you can control yourself. Therein lies the wisdom of the ages; control yourself.

The Sun, Mercury and Pluto have teamed up in the sign of Capricorn. This explosive combination means you can anticipate a blow up between opposing forces. You can use this configuration constructively by getting to the bottom of the situation, understanding it completely and bringing a conscious course of action. This will jam the circuits of any opposing forces. It’s organized and deliberate and that makes it difficult to defeat.

Also, a little bit of luck seems to go a long way in your overall success. Jupiter & Uranus are conjunct in Aries and this duo gives you added reach when comes to getting the needed support that you have been seeking. Be mindful that your actions may have unintended consequences. Often we don’t look far enough ahead and our short term moves don’t result in any gains. Make sure you balance the short term with the long term as this will yield the desired results.

Good fortune follows the courageous one.

It’s time for someone to release the steam from the pressure cooker. Things are adequately cooked. Leaving it on for too long will reduce it to swill. Hopefully, things are going to chill off a bit. Too many angry voices are bad for our health. I recommend tuning out the nightly news if it is causing you too much anxiety. Better to live in your own fantasy than to risk a total meltdown.

But temperatures are rising. So keep cool no matter what garbage is being thrown your way. You can only control your own actions. The actions of other people are beyond your control. In fact there are people that are just sour grapes. Remember Aesop’s fairy tale about the fox that couldn’t get to the grapes so he claimed that they were sour. Resources around the world are becoming less and less available. It’s difficult to lay your hands on good old fashioned cash. Think carefully about making any unnecessary purchases. Demand quality.

Ease up on yourself. Don’t drive yourself too hard or you will risk a nervous breakdown. Everything can be accomplished in time. Set your own schedule and don’t allow others to fritter away your time. Say no to people who don’t know where to draw the line. You have to define your own goals and stay focused. Time and space become less important when you are making progress. You stop measuring everything in material terms. Find something to be happy about everyday.

“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”…you may remember these lyrics from Me & Bobby McGee, a song written by Kris Kristofferson. The planetary influences seem to be in harmony with these sentiments. Suddenly we are faced with making serious choices which may otherwise be impossible to make. But given the circumstances surrounding these decisions it becomes easy to make choices.

We have a few planets in the sign of Gemini. Gemini is theoretical. If you ask them for directions they will point in two opposite directions. In a way, this is a very metaphysical answer. We achieve harmony by going toward the material and by going toward the spiritual. We learn to balance our nature through this process of going back and forth between these two poles.

Venus in Cancer is exactly sextile Saturn in Virgo. We feel like we must take life seriously. What we don’t know can hurt us. We have to become more aware. By bringing the unconscious into the conscious we protect ourselves from the unknown. It is the Sun that must realize the Moon. The Sun represents the conscious while the Moon represents the unconscious.

Naturally, the unconscious is hard to access. Our experiences bring this hidden matter to the forefront where we can deal with it in a conscious way. Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct in Aries and they will work together to bring you new and unexpected insights into your own deeper self. These insights will help you to advance on many levels.

The voice of the people is the voice of God. This voice is being heard louder and louder across the world. People are waking up to the changing economic events. Although this seems like a cacophony of sentiments, it does seem to be taking us somewhere outside our little worlds. You just can’t help but notice the suffering of humans and animals alike. Man is supposed to be the protector of the animals, of nature and of the earth. The consensus is that we haven’t been doing a very good job of it. This neglect will exact a high price in the years to come.

People are supposed to be superior in that they have a rational mind but it seems that this rationality has just gotten us further and further into trouble. Perhaps we have to look to higher influences to solve the problems that affect mankind. As it turns out, we are not so smart. We are an enemy to ourselves. Objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble. Suffering will continue until we start to see that our real role is evolution and that evolution should include a humane and peaceful approach to all living things.

Character is destiny. We will enjoy the beauty of life if we respect the nature of all people and things. But we must take responsibility for our own actions and do what we believe to be the right thing. It is necessary to set a good example. The other thing needed would be to give up our resentments. This is our life, our choice and we must pay the price for those choices. We pay for what we want and we pay for what we don’t want.
