The past few days and the next few will prove in hindsight to have produced some important shifts, decisions, turning points, and releases. Keep your inner equilibrium, sense of fairness and justice, and be as moderate as possible.
If you’re wondering what I’m referencing, over the past few days and today we’ve had Mercury at 23-26 Cancer septile Venus at 14-17 Virgo, biseptile Saturn at 6 Scorpio, and biseptile Uranus at 13 Aries. This of course means that Venus was septile Saturn and triseptile Uranus as well. This “lit up” seven critical zones of decisions, realizations, and turning points that will be triggered again in early September. Whatever came down the past few days will be directly related to what happens in about 4-5 weeks.
These zones are 23-26 Cancer, 14-17 Virgo, 6-9 Scorpio, 27-30 Sagittarius, 19-22 Aquarius, 11-14 Aries, and 2-5 Gemini. If you have planets or angles in any of these zones and something occurred that marked a shift in your lives, then you can bet that it involves your understanding of your feelings, the specifics of one or more relationships or ways of dealing with money and resources, set within the backdrop of awakened individuality and restructured magnetism or ways of dealing with loss or shared resources.
The other big deal going on right now is Jupiter opposed Pluto! That’s a very powerful aspect that challenges us to keep things from going to extremes, avoid dishonest or corrosive opportunities that are not opportunities, and keep everything as open, honest, and above board as we can. Be clear about the difference between wants and needs, get focused and oriented, and get ready to plug your will or drive into gear.
This time should bring relief to those who began to live a new Archetype in 2010 and awakened to a greater individuality. Use imagination, be creative and playful in dreaming whatever you need to dream into movement, and again, stay balanced. Those most affected have planets or angles between 8-15 Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
On a final note, this opposition will also help to further the seeds of personal power that were awakened in early June, early July, and again in late July. This helps us complete our lessons about overcoming fear and receiving the rewards for doing so. Just try to keep things from getting blown out of proportion, or buying into an unfair standard imposed on a situation that needs to be balanced in some way.
The next New Moon article is on the way, which of course will have the Cardinal T-square as a major influence!

Yessirree Robert. The Jupiter Pluto opposition. Oh my my my! I so relate. It sums up so much for me. There isn't alot I can say about it even though it points to my core.

It certainly will have its effects on my life, it would seem. Both aspects, NN and MC/IC are conjunct separately.
Enjoy always your articles. Does keep one grounded towards a greater future. Turned 41 today, no celebration, but in the heart - I am better than I was at 21 or 31. So there is that.

I am committed to honouring this and seeing through all that I have been given to work through to completion, I personally am relieved yet will keep going rather than rest on my laurels and give into the tiredness. Personally this cancerian sun and merc and libra moon has been pummelled good and proper, yet I have been able to see the silver lining in every experience the last 12 years since Jupiter went through my cancer 9th house and taught me to understand what I "know" yet takes a huge leap of faith to be able to keep going, yet I have and although my success is not "apparent" yet to the many, a few are able to "see" it. I have been to hell and back (my libra moon is in 12th) several times, first for a visit then repeats to return "souveniers" I chose to give back :) I have natal saturn at 29 Cap, my asc is 26 libra thus my desc is 26 Aries, this for me is a cardinal cross, this time not feared as I have already experienced "crucifixion" in a metaphoric and threatened phyisical way, yet I am still here, and although I note and respect the not good possible outcome, I have released the fear, my continued life is in the hands of nature and divine and I have done my best to get out of my own way, to not be my own assassinator and chosen to direct the power that flows through me to generate the energy to be creating the opportunities for what I do hope with all my heart, to be.
Thank you Robert, I understand my waffling is simply putting a different way, what you have commmunicated, that many of us somehow "know" at that deep level yet have often needed to "hear" from many different ways in order to grasp. I am eternally grateful for being able to "hear" yours. Namaste
