Astrology in late December 2013 and early January 2014 – T-Squares Abound, So Slow Down!

by Robert Wilkinson

I’ll give you more in the very near future, but for now remember to take it a little slower and easier than normal. Lots of squares, oppositions, and volatile conjunctions are happening now and into the next 9 days.

The run began with Mars opposition Uranus on December 25, and given the speed and orb, it’s still a major trigger for the next few days each time it’s squared by a planet in Capricorn. We have the superior conjunction of Mercury with the Sun on Dec 28-29, followed by Mercury and the Sun square Uranus on Dec 29-30. For those who care about such things, Uranus is still sitting on its stationary direct degree of 9 Aries.

Monday kicks off several days of Mars square Pluto, always a bit extreme and hard-edged! Then Tuesday we have Mercury conjunct Pluto and square Mars, a very tight T-square throwing the void into 12 Cancer. That degree has been active for quite a while, so again, search for the Mystery. Look for the revelation that yields illumination. Something can be born under this aspect, and while these squares can be volatile and disruptive, they can also break up log jams and bring a new flow to things we’ve been doing since last June and July.

Since Cancer is the void, trust your emotional intelligence to feel a new way of “knowing” how to move through the times. And of course, play good defense to find safety and security.

January 1, 3:14 am PST, 11:14 am Greenwich, brings us a New Moon at 11 Capricorn exactly conjunct Pluto, which means January will have the T-square as a major influence all month!! The Sun finishes this run of hard aspects when it squares Mars on Jan 2-3, though the square influence will last at least another day or so after that aspect is exact.

I’ll close this by reminding you that Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus are all “hard” energies, showing us how to live through better coordination of affairs and acting in a balanced, organized manner. Shortly, as the planets move through Capricorn, they will all oppose Jupiter, and eventually Mars will square Jupiter as well. So a lot of the challenge to be careful and thoughtful between now and January 5 will yield a Jupiter lesson or reward not that far down the road.

All of this is prep work so we can handle the disruptive Grand Cardinal Cross of late April. Mars is moving through the exact degree zone it will be in then, so pay particular attention to how to use Mars in Libra energies to best effect. And the Venus retrograde continues! This is also important, since it’s the dispositor of Mars in Libra and therefore the backdrop to how Mars works right now.

So slow down, take it easy, and when in doubt, don’t. No fast moves over the next few days, and be particularly careful since there’s a hard edge to the atmosphere. These conjunctions and squares are pretty challenging, but by moderating what needs smoothing out, you should be able to do well. And yes, there are some very unfair things going on, but once Mars goes retrograde, most of this gear-jamming will be revisited and undone.

Hi Robert, thanks for the heads up...and the advice...slow down...and when in doubt, don't. Diane

yep feeling quite fired up like a fart in a bottle (pardon the aussie saying lol!), so choosing to keep the bottle corked unless time to celebrate and put the energy to good use like champagne instead :)

Very greatly you could squeeze this in Robert,
feelin creeped out over these energies

Robert, do you still do full reports for astrological signs? Pardon for posting here, can't seem to find the link for it. Been out of the loop. Thanks.

Aum.

Hi Missus - This year I cannot create reports for individual signs. Just too much work. However, I will be offering webinars on "2014 - What to Expect" where I will comment about the various qualities of the year, and point out some things about individual signs and what they can expect. But I won't be able to comment about individual charts or birthdays as I've done in past reports. Just too much work.

Hi Robert, thank you for this, makes total sense with what I have been experiencing and feeling. A few unexpected verbal attacks as Mars moved past its square to my Natal Merc at 8'Cancer, one completely left field from from my 20 year old Aries Son on Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning, which I found the response naturally came through firm, powerful in a loving yet tough love manner respecting his choice yet giving him the choice to show me the respect earned or go join the many others who would agree with that false accusation, by end of Christmas Day, he was clear again, without my needing to be self sacrificial any more, thus by the time Mars conjuncts my 12th house Moon at 14'Libra55, which will be caught up in the Grand Cardinal Cross later on, I do feel a sense of safety that the "formerly hidden shadow of my psychology" that had kept me trapped as the victim to everyone else's choices until I realised "I" was the jail keeper :) is no longer infecting my mind thus secure in letting myself and power flow, especially as my moon also sextiles my natal Divine mother in Leo 10th house, so it will be most likely quite public, for the first time since I used my Neptune in first houses "cape of invisibility" to my own advantage many years ago, to be able to continue healing myself while serving others, seen yet unseen, known yet unknown. Lord Saturn and Divine mother, have done their jobs, very well. yep Saturn's pummeling and Divine mothers force on me to remain committed to the true role of a mother, was indeed gift.

As I have said before I am eternally grateful, as a very intuitive and psychic naturally, Astrology, especially your insight into its affects has been extremely valuable to me as it has provided at least a little "support" for what I sensde which I was not able to give "reason" for at the time. I have also been grateful that like myself, you give your services based on much hard work, freely while grateful for any donations others are able to choose to give, as I have not been in circumstances that would have me be able to pay for it and that is why I also give my services, not because its wrong to charge, because I believe all humans not just those who can pay, deserve access to the valuable resources via the occult tools, from the unseen world that gave them life and Karma is at play with what any of us choose to give, even non material. I hope therefore that the respect and acknowledgment I am able to give you here, like others, serves you well to encourage individuals and the human species to be building on the foundations of giving and sharing, what ever they have in abundance is valuable, which of course is themselves and their own personal gifts and resources.

My Spirit sees and honours your Spirit, more simply said "a genuine Namaste".

Sad to hear that. Have always been a happy client. The reports are exhaustive, insightful, well-detailed. I'm glad to be back here though, Robert. Lots of catching up in the days to come. Looking forward to the webinars. Thanks and do enjoy the rest of the season. Aum.
