this week’s auspicious astrology is something i have been writing about since 2013 began. it’s actually part of why i have said this is the year of the Goddess! we are in a 13 year (2013), a water snake year (snakes are symbols of the Goddess) and all the water present is very, very yin and Soulful- both are the domains of the Goddess. to add to that we have LOTS of black moon lilith energy present in these water skies. the Dark Goddess’ fierce and intense compassion, wisdom and insight are positively potent right now!!!
several things of importance are going on this week. for one the Grand Water Trine perfects itself from the 17th to the 19th. on wednesday the 17th jupiter in cancer trined saturn in scorpio and neptune in pisces, and on friday the 19th saturn in scorpio trines neptune in pisces. this is a very tight trine- usually when grand trines form it happens over weeks or months- but this week it happens in a 3 day window! with the two teacher planets (jupiter and saturn) and the two spiritual planets (jupiter and neptune) involved the opportunities for spiritual and emotional learning/opening/healing are profound! dreams can be potent- so pay attention to them. psychic gifts and intuitive insights can also be powerful right now. it’s a great time for any kind of spiritual practice- with meditation being high on the list of things to do right now. for more info on where this auspicious Grand Water Trine plays out for you check your weekly horoscopes (read for sun and rising sign).
when outer planets connect it is often not until a faster personal planet comes by to activate them that the energy really opens up. on saturday mars will do just that- he will trine neptune and saturn and then monday next week he cojoins jupiter. mars IS the activator- he focuses energy, will and drive and helps us to take action in our lives. mars/jupiter is particularly auspicious, expansive and courageous- next monday is a great day to take positive, confident action in our lives!
another powerful and dominant energy playing out in the background of this Grand Water Trine week is the uranus’ station on wednesday (the 17th). with the rebel, revolutionary and Great Awakener stationary his energies are at their most potent. change, illumination, reversals, upheaval, awakening, breakdowns and breakthroughs are all potent right now. with uranus in aries our fiery, feisty nature is supported and perhaps exacerbated. we need to be aware of the tendency to impulsive action and/or explosions of anger or rage. uranus plugs us into an electric outlet and sometimes he floods us with more energy than we can handle. the fact that uranus is square pluto until 2015 only adds to the intensity of the astrology right now. the best use of this energy is waking up, being the change you wish to see in the world and becoming a sacred activist for what is right in your life (personally and collectively).
and last but not least mercury is also stationing this week. all week long mercury is slowing down and on saturday he goes direct, after his 3 week retrograde journey that began on june 26th. with mercury retrograde in watery, emotional cancer the last 3 weeks have been a great time to rethink, review and revise our relationship to our emotions, to the past, and to family/home dynamics playing out in our lives. as mercury stations direct his typical snafu energies are at their most potent- so watch out for missed communications or connections and travel/technology issues. when mercury is stationing it’s a time to go with the flow and surrender to a Divine plan that may not be what your ego had in mind. what is fascinating about this station is that mercury does so conjunct a powerful fixed star called sirius. sirius’ is very important to many mystical traditions throughout ancient history. one one level sirius symbolizes making the mundane sacred- essentially bridging the material and spiritual worlds. on a more esoteric level sirius can symbolize Higher Consciousness in the form of other dimensional beings (aka aliens) who have evolved past where we are at on earth and who are trying to guide us and teach us how to evolve and shift into a new dimensional frequency. having sirius aligned with mercury can be profound for spiritual teachings, mass messages and profound star connections being realized (in dreams, in real life perhaps). because mercury will slowly be picking up speed, he will be aligned with sirius for the next week. pay close attention to monday of next week (the 22nd) as mercury aligns with the evolutionary north node. this aspect has occurred twice- once on 6/12 and once on 7/16. this is the last time, due to mercury’s retrograde, which can bring completion to the gathering of information, communications coming in, and insights into where our growth and destiny lies. pay attention to all forms of communication that come in next week! the insights and aha moments possible can be profound!
it certainly is an astrological week for the books! the energy is potent this week, but it is up to you to do something with it! Grand Water Trines bring in profound potential- but it could remain in it’s seed form if we don’t utilize it. you don’t want to miss out on the best astrology we’ve seen in the last goddess-knows how many years (i want to say the last 100 years, but that is not coming from statistics it is coming from the voice in my head).
blessings on all you are being and becoming!!!
