A Peek at This Week in the Starry Heavens

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and  rightdoing,
There is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about .
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn’t make any sense.” Rumi

“The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things.” Carl Jung

Early this week Mercury and Venus will be conjunct and  forming a favorable alignment with Pluto. If there are ways you’d like to improve your relationships or your orientation towards them, this week would provide good timing for thinking more deeply about that.

Mars in Gemini is moving up to a harmonious trine with Saturn this week.  This indicates a good time for planning and for work. It bodes well for the tempering of energy as Mars can be impulsive about moving forward but Saturn provides caution and demands thoroughness. This provides a good balance for short term/long term planning.

In general under the Mars/Saturn influence it’s wise to slow down and avoid rushing.

Venus moves into Libra on Thursday. and will move up to an opposition to Jupiter. This is a great combination for fun and pleasure but given Jupiter has an “over the top” side also , its best to watch for overreaction and overindulgence.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Having an urgent task to complete, a woman doesn’t look to any distractions.”
