A look at This Week’s Astrology

“Hopes and dreams which  can no longer  be fulfilled in their original form  may need to be blessed and released, as the energy invested in them may be soon be needed elsewhere.” Melanie Reinhard.

“Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night.” Galileo

As the beginning of the week this week Venus in Sagittarius is aligning in harmony with the Lunar Nodes. This creates a significant threshold time to raise awareness about any guidance that surfaces related to self esteem, relationships, finances and what we value. The North Node points the way forward destiny – wise and the South Node indicates what needs to be let go of or released on our  evolutionary path.

Mercury in Scorpio is making a harmonious alignment with Saturn in Pisces early this week also. This brings a serious, down-to earth quality to thinking and to speech. It is a good time for planning, serious conversations and getting to the bottom of things.

The Sun is moving up to a challenging aspect to Pluto.The Sun is in late Libra now and Pluto in late Capricorn. The sign of Libra favors harmony and peace – sometimes at any price – whereas Pluto likes exposing dark and hidden things. This combination is exacerbated by a square from Mars in Cancer. This alignment has been in effect since last week. Tempers can be short, there can be more impatience and irritability as a result.

It is a high energy alignment and progress can be made with projects – just watch for overdoing.

The Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio on Tuesday. Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is a time of increasing darkness.  The sign of Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the Lord of Transformation, thus making this period – to the Winter Solstice- a good time for working on personal evolution, transformation and  letting go.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”An old owl perched high up in a tree.”
