We are living in exciting times. Many of us have the sense that there is something deeply screwed up in the societal structures and we do need fundamental change to happen. The comforting thought is that as humans we usually rise to the occasion if challenged enough. Well Cheap Marian Hossa Hat , we are challenged.
New Moon is in a Close Conjunction with Sun and Mercury This New Moon is special because it ties in with a Sun, Saturn and Mercury conjunction all happening in opposition to Uranus. A New Moon always presents a new start out of regeneration. In earthy Virgo it feeds the collective struggle to raise our consciousness to the occasion. The Mercury is retrograde and might have a tendency to slip back into old ideas and is opposing the new paradigm of Uranus. And then we have all that Virgo energy with four planets in the sign.
Saturn is also in Conjunction with the New Moon Virgo has the message for us to pay attention, focus, simplify Cheap Gustav Forsling Hat , consolidate and find a healthy balance within our means. Saturn is with us for the ride and teaches us honesty with ourselves and tightening the belt. Saturn is a master to adjust to dire circumstances and make the best out of them. We sure can learn to live without the newest cell phone or gadget. The consumerism we take for granted is part of the trouble we face with the global warming and the missing conscience in the corporate world. We might not be able to directly impact the bigger situation but we can contribute in our own little way. We are the grass roots of the grass roots movement. We can make a difference as individuals with where and how we spend our money and how we deal with others.
Uranus Opposition Uranus is the rebel, the visionary, the one who brings in the new and innovative spirit of change. He opposes the tradition and hierarchic structure and Saturn is representing just that. This is the third out of five opposition between these two players. The next two will be in April 26, 2010 and July Cheap John Hayden Hat , 2010 so we will have time to integrate. This Saturn Uranus opposition is only happening every 40 years or so and always corresponds to worldwide political, social and economical change. The last meeting was in the mid sixties, a very inspiring and turbulent period was setting the tone for tremendous changes. --Make Love not War-- was the slogan of the time and the beginning of the end of the war in Vietnam and a huge movement for peace all over the world.
With the New Moon and the Sun illuminating the shadow and the good parts of both, the rebel and the mythic reaper are exposed in their contrast of hierarchy and grass root movement Cheap Ryan Hartman Hat , entitlement versus freedom and equality, and entrenchment and progress.
People with planets in 20 to 30 degree in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces will feel these oppositions very personal and acutely.
Sun Square Pluto This all coincides with the square of the Sun to Pluto on September 20 Cheap Brandon Saad Hat , 2009. We know Pluto as the transformer and God of the Underworld. Deep transformation and inner alchemy is his trademark. Remember that a square is a hard and challenging aspect and requires our attention.
All in all you can see that we are living in true times of changes. I think the most important decision we can make is to not give in to fear. We can choose to orient ourselves towards positive thoughts about something in our life. We have the power to direct our thoughts and lift our spirit whenever we pay conscious attention. I have talked about making joy a spiritual practice and how you can guide yourself towards higher feelings. Read more about it on my Astrological Signs Weather Report & Healing Gems blog.
Suggestion If we use the information we can gain from the planets in the heavens, we can take appropriate action. And with Virgo we are guided to be smart, make adjustments, take care for the details in our own life but also ask ourselves some questions of how we can be useful for the bigger whole and what it is we have to contribute. Where can we concentrate and focus to prioritize or set limits. What are your goals in life? Where do you see yourself in five years down the road? Or next year
