Cosmic Cycles-June 2012
Cosmic Cycles – June 2012
“United we stand, divided we fall”…
Events and energies in the next month are accelerated as Uranus Aries just moved to square Pluto in Capricorn showing the violent eruptions and bursts breaking out. The tempo will be lifting where triggers will be seen and noteworthy during the next few months. Uranus represents the tower in the Tarot-structures crumbling and crashing down, dismantling power structures gone awry. The first square will ride out until October 2012 where it will separate and move toward its next square in May 2013-a total of 7 exact hits up until mid 2015 waning into 2016.
Uranus is about the future and Aries is about new beginnings, adventure and uncharted territory -all eyes are on what lies ahead. Being we are also in the year of the Dragon makes the next few months highly charged with brave and daring events. Both Uranus and the dragon represent the unexpected which we will see come to some climax with this Uranus Pluto aspect. Uranus rules anxiety and panic and Pluto fears, shared resources, investments. OCD, PTSD disorders will become more pronounced.
We can feel the energies starting to converge with a heightened sense of excitement, anticipation and urgency as well as some growing anxiety and fear. The restlessness and angst of Uranus creating a feeling of disruption and disorder-things are being pushed to change whether with growing internal dissatisfaction with your life or goals to the collective surges and bursts of chaos globally as we watch the distress around the European economy and debt crisis and the growing violence in Syria.
It is very evident in the weather as this last week has been grey skies without much sunshine. Pluto represents darkness which explains the gloomy looking skies throughout most of Canada and continuous shifting, unpredictable patterns in the weather changing constantly. Uranus Pluto is hitting on Canada’s chart points-Pluto literally over our heads on the MC chart point oppose our Sun in Cancer.
The last few weeks we have had many instances of rage with gruesome force very typical of Uranus Pluto energy– horrific stories of dismembered body parts being sent in the mail, primal cannibalism face eating cases surrounding the drug “bath salts”, rush of violent shooting-gang related fury in a Toronto shopping center. Toronto chart has a strong Saturn in Libra oppose Pluto in Aries being hit by the current transit of Uranus square Pluto. Syria violence is growing toward civil war –the violence has been particularly alarming and disturbing with a rash of media coverage of such barbaric explicit images. There is also much trepidation in Greece with the growing tension around the debt crisis and the threatening bank run-“Grexit”.
June 11-Monday is rather eventful with the separating Quarter Moon, Mercury creating a tsquare with Uranus Pluto and Jupiter moving into Gemini adding another notch of increased restlessness and crisis points.
The Sun Moon reach a (Quarter Moon) stage disseminating waning square as we return to our reflecting moments of resolve after the eclipse activity in the last few weeks. This stage of the lunar cycle is a turning point of preparation and planning for the next Moon cycle which is heavily slated with agenda.
Mercury Cancer reaches a tsquare to Uranus Pluto. Mercury Cancer stirs up much emotional content-unconscious, sensitive to any undercurrents, intuitive – music and sounds without words conjure feelings deeply subjective that have their own meaning and nuances that seep into layers beyond Mercury’s usual rational take. With a tsquare to Uranus Pluto upsets and caustic close to home contentious squabbles could hit the fan with impatience whether in traffic (freak accidents-Uranus-be careful driving! or walking-we just had a bizarre incident of someone fatally hit while walking on a sidewalk by someone trying to park their car!), in meetings, at home (Cancer) with family members or with computers (Mercury). Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury where our minds will be at razor sharp insistence with flashes of brilliance that probe into matters and dig out the dirt-Pluto.
Jupiter moves into Gemini and will hit the eclipse degree of the May 20th Solar Eclipse which will bring forward and expand any residue from the eclipse. The pace is picking up-Jupiter expands and grows and communications (Gemini) will be incessant and fast moving with thoughts firing on all synapses spilling out lacking an even steady pace.
Jupiter is in its detriment in Gemini-Jupiter rules Sagittarius (oppose Gemini) where growth and outreach-information overload with a fire hose and the classic TMI-too much information, swarming with the details without the practical logical organized structure for the big picture-the forest for the trees-foresight lacking in hindsight. Jupiter will square Neptune and move to the south node by the end of June adding expansion and bursting bubbles – over inflating, confusion and distraction. Jupiter will build a bridge through the turmoil as it will sextile Uranus through the beginning of July giving electric insights.
Once Jupiter moves into Gemini we have most energy in either mutable or cardinal placements -no fixed (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius) until the end of June. Fixed energies tend to remain the same, change is slow but without fixed energy we have a time with many new developments. Cardinal energy drives action toward new directions and Mutable energy is flexible to roll with the punches and get moving in many directions making for some dizzying lively activity.
The Moon moves into Aries late Monday after being VOC in Pisces which will ramp up the head strong aims and possible clashes as the Aries Moon crashes into the Mercury Uranus Pluto tsquare bringing some heated exchange and potential trigger happy emotional turmoil June 12.
June 12th-The Sun will trine Saturn giving a sense of stability and control to the demanding Aries Moon as well as balance to help through the next few weeks sense of chaos and unrest by setting some boundaries and parameters that keep things real.
June 15th– we have a spectacular dare devil event with a high wire act over Niagara Falls. Nik Wallenda will make a very risky life death tight rope walk over Niagara Falls-this action playing out the extreme edginess of Uranus square Pluto. His chart is very suited to the feat. He has Sun Mars in Aquarius (ruler Uranus) oppose Jupiter in Leo-risk taking, going out on a limb with his Venus Neptune Sagittarius sextile Pluto. The mental portion is critical and his Mercury is in Capricorn being stressed by transit Saturn requiring his diligent discipline and keen observation and balance (Saturn Libra).
June 19th-New Moon in Gemini-the Greek Election (June 17) during a Balsamic Moon seems tainted with ill timing and many dilemmas with the tipping point as to their decision weighing on whether they choose the austerity measures or not and the ensuing consequences with either choice. Saturn Libra stationing at 22 degrees June 8 to July 10 is hitting a tight restricting standstill in the matters of austerity (Saturn), balance (Libra) and consequence (Saturn).
June 20th– Mercury Cancer will square Saturn adding to the restriction and feeling stifled. Our thoughts could get pessimistic, negative and gloomy with depressing worry from the shifts in the economy as Cancer is concerned with security.
Summer Solstice. The Sun Enters Cancer.
June 24th– Uranus square Pluto – first exact square.
June 25th– Saturn turns direct at 22 degrees Libra which will angle 135 degrees (sesquisquare) Venus at 7 degrees which starts June 22 and will extend to July 3 with a feeling of constriction, tightening and rigid barriers financially, in partnerships and in peacemaking, held up and pinned to a wall. Saturn has the next few months to complete the cycle of Saturn Libra through until the first week of October -working to bring balance, cooperation, fairness, bridging gaps and negotiating a happy median of give and take with a heavy dose of reality checks-including some much needed auditing in our systems, processes, policies and government.
Mercury moves into Leo adding some semblance of steady momentum and determined persistence. Mercury Leo will align with Jupiter until the end of June which will give positive ramping up to communications with vigor and pride and powerful conviction.
Jupiter square Neptune-news of flooding, changes in the media, deception, fraud, infidelity will become noticeable-substance abuse-mixed with Uranus square Pluto is a combination where you may see more vivid dreams, growing creative ideas, visualization power-of course the usual overstepping limits and boundaries proving hazardous with these radical expansive wheels in motion.
June 27th -Transit Venus retrograde stationed at 7 degrees Gemini turns direct and through the first week of July will sextile Uranus which will elevate a sense of excitement and unusual sparkle in relationships.
Sun in Cancer/Moon Libra (Quarter Moon) will create a grand square with Uranus and Pluto which can erupt strong revolt and bursts of tension. Sun in Cancer is security conscious and rooted in protecting territories which is highlighting the devastating Syrian revolution.
