The Next 48-Hours will be a Bumpy Ride

Between today and tomorrow, Thursday March 25, the Sun is squaring Pluto, a difficult energy. It creates power struggles, frustrations, obsessiveness and compulsiveness, and emotions are running high. It is best to let this energy pass, remember what it is, and not react to it. If you have to fight a battle, make sure it is a battle worth fighting and not just a reaction to the stressful energy.

It is a good day to center your energies, relax as much as possible, take a deep breath and remember what is worthwhile in your life, as battles and confrontations will abound around you, and there are those who may try and pull you into a fight that is not yours. Control issues will become apparent among those who have a tenancy in this direction anyway, and even among those who don’t.

The planetary energy of the Sun opposing Saturn that was exact on Sunday is waning, but it is still within orb today. Oppositions to Saturn show worry, anxiety, delays, and the forced carrying out of undesired responsibilities, and it is under this transit that healthcare reform passed in the US Congress.

Emotions are running high among those who are not happy with the new healthcare bill and those who believe it was the correct thing to do. The news will continue to be dominated by arguments and disagreements, and the press will play a pivotal role, and there may be news about the press itself.

Other conflicts will abound over the next 48 hours that involve big business, and there is a feeling of forced change in society. It is not favorable for the financial markets/institutions of the US, as Capricorn represents the second house of money in the US chart, and while the Sun is squaring Pluto it is also squaring Jupiter, the planet of finance in America’s chart. (A square is a 90 degree angle creating conflict)

Sun square Pluto represents, ‘ruthless force,’ and Pluto is the planet of vengeance, sex, and hidden issues coming to light.. It is likely we will hear about acts of violence. Capricorn rules the Earth, and it is not impossible we will see another change involving the earth itself. Furthermore, Pluto represents nuclear weapons and nuclear capacities, and we will likely hear news in this area as well.

New Moon in Pisces!

This month’s new moon is at 25 degrees in Pisces today, Monday, March 15. New moons represent times of new beginnings, and Pisces is the natural ruler of the twelfth house of things secret and hidden, the unconscious mind, hospitals and institutions and time spent alone.

Pisces rules the spiritual world, and represents the realm of sages, and the ages, mystics, and creativity. It is a time to look into your heart for the answers you seek, and remember that true love is unconditional.

This new moon falls within a degree of Uranus, the planet of sudden, explosive, and unexpected events that come from out of the blue. Uranus rules technology, airplanes, adverse weather conditions involving water and fog, earthquakes and electricity. Watch for complications with technology and save all information on your computer.

Mercury, the planet ruling speech, communication and travel is conjunct Uranus today and tomorrow, so be careful driving, and, new ideas should withstand the test of time. Hasty speech is a common them with this transit, and ideas should be thought out before acted upon. There will likely be more accidents than usual.

The Sun is conjunct electric Uranus on Wednesday, continuing the theme of unexpected events, and we will see this energy play out upon the world stage one way or another. Uranus also represents the ‘cutting edge,’ and on the positive side pay attention to your creative urges as they could lead to novel and unique ideas. New ideas are likely to be unusual and non-traditional, but they may be fleeting. Above all, consider any new idea, communication or action carefully before implementing it.

If you find yourself getting more agitated than usual, take a deep breath, and this energy will pass quickly. With Uranus involved, events and situations can end as quickly as they began.
