Planetary Aspects this week

“Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.” Wislawa Szymborska

There is a lot of planetary activity this week. It bodes well to make an extra effort to remain calm and to reign in intense emotions. Be on the lookout for surprising events and occurrences that can lead to breakthroughs in perception. If there are delays or complications, look for opportunities and alternatives you might not have explored otherwise.

Take more care when driving and be more conscious in communication.

Uranus will station retrograde Monday, the Sun will enter Leo on Tuesday, Mars will enter Scorpio on Friday and there is a Saturn/Uranus quincunx in effect all week. Saturn holds on to the status quo – Uranus can be disruptive, surprising and unpredictable in pushing for progress and innovation. If you have been working for breakthroughs in areas where you feel blocked or stuck this is a good time for you with the New Moon on Saturday at 3 Leo.

One of the Sabian symbols for the Mars moving into Scorpio is, “A broken bottle and spilled perfume.” Do not linger long in disappointment or disillusionment – look for creative and innovative pathways out.

Jupiter enters Leo

“Spend some time every day listening to what your muse is trying to tell you.” St Bartholomew.

Jupiter, the planet which governs higher wisdom and philosophy entered the sign of Leo today. Jupiter in Leo ushers in a time of increased self confidence, hope and optimism. It is a good time for creativity, fun and socializing. Jupiter’s influence is considered beneficent even when in harsh aspect to other planets. Check your chart to see where Jupiter is transiting for the next year – this is an area where expansion and increase are likely to come into your life – you may be feeling it already. One of the Sabian symbols associated with this time is, “A Greek muse weighing newborn twins in golden scales.”
