Jupiter Opposes Pluto

“New ways of thinking about familiar things can release new energies and make all manner of things possible.” Charles Handy

One of the gifts of a well done Astrology or Tarot reading is that it can shed light on the quagmires of life, put them in a larger or more meaningful perspective and offer appropriate guidance for dealing with them. So often in life when challenges arise what is needed is a change in perception.

When Jupiter and Pluto are opposed as they are now new challenges can arise and old ones come to a head. What is often called for is a shift or evolution of the underlying philosophy or a deepening of religious or spiritual views.

As the tension of the Cardinal Cross continues to build it is wise to reconsider the underlying philosophy of challenging areas of life – particularly those areas where we habitually invest mental or emotional energy into maintaining an idea or belief system that may have outgrown its usefulness and limits the perception of options.

The Sun Conjuncts Uranus

“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass I can appreciate persistence.” Hal Boreland

The Sun is conjunct Uranus now (exact on 4/2) squaring Jupiter and Pluto making this a high energy, nervy time when there is a strong tendency to exaggerate and over react. Be sure to provide extra down time to relax and rejuvenate.
A good way to create an outlet for these volatile energies is to look for breakthroughs and actualize new ways of seeing and being.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with these aspects is, “A fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence.”
