So How Was Your Week?

I figured that this past week with Mars hitting Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto would be volatile and explosive and I wasn’t wrong.  Here in Providence, RI we had a huge fire in an old mill building that blanketed the city with smoke creating some air quality issues.  That was on Tuesday.  On Wednesday there was another fire in Warwick, RI as a Condo building went up in flames. That fire was first reported at 10:25 AM.  A chart erected for that moment shows Mars and Uranus minutes away from a conjunction, with both in harmonious aspect to Jupiter.  Jupiter is placed a few degrees inside the 4^th house of the horoscope. The 4^th house in astrology is the house of the home.  About a hundred people were displaced because of that fire.

In addition to this local activity events on the national and international front reflect the explosive, impulsive, unpredictable nature of the prevalent energy.  The stock market here in the United States went down, up and then down again throughout the week. Ferguson was in the news again with the shooting of two police officers and more madness from the ISIS terrorist group posting pictures of child assassins. The Republicans penned a letter to the Iranian leaders warning them that any agreement reached by President Obama could be revoked at the stroke of a pen once Obama leaves office.  Forty-seven Republicans signed this letter.  Some news reports claim that many of those who signed were on their way out of Washington, rushing to catch a plane or whatever.  This is clearly a reflection of a Mars/Uranus conjunction in Aries.  Impulsive actions that are not thought through to the possible conclusions combined with Jupiter which brings in the international, diplomatic component.  I always thought that the Democrats were the masters at shooting themselves in the foot but it appears that the Republicans are trying to take that title away from them.  There has been a lot of backlash about this letter even from those within their own party.

Then there is the Hillary Clinton and the email brouhaha.  Some folks are up in arms while others are ho hum about it all.  Hillary is a Scorpio with a Mars/Pluto conjunction in Leo. During this past week Jupiter currently traveling through Leo was sitting right on this conjunction.  The Mars/Uranus conjunction in the sky was in a trine aspect to her Mars/Pluto conjunction.  You can’t make this stuff up.  Love her or hate her, with Sun, Venus and Mercury in Scorpio along with the Mars/Pluto conjunct as well as Saturn in Leo she is one tough customer.  Scorpio and Leo are fixed signs and fixed signs stick to it. She’s a lightning rod with all this heavy energy.  Think about it, her husband cheats on her, she’s publicly humiliated, decides to stay with him, for whatever reason and she’s hated for it.  Bill Clinton seems to have skated through without a care in the world as popular as ever. Double standard? Maybe.

That was last week.  Next week starts off with a bang as Uranus and Pluto make their final square aspect.  I expect that the fireworks are not over yet. Venus changes signs on St. Patrick’s Day, moving into Taurus.  Venus rules Taurus so she’s quite at home here and the Venusian energies operate at the optimal level.  People like to buy stuff when Venus is in Taurus.  Luxury goods, items that have a soft and sensuous feel to them.  Tactile touch, folks want to feel it and it needs to feel good.  A Venus in Taurus relationship requires longevity, loyalty, and stability.  Faithfulness is a key word.  Sometimes a Venus in Taurus relationship doesn’t know or doesn’t want to throw in the towel when things are not working. Venus in Taurus stays to long at the fair.  When they shut the lights off it’s time to go home.

Another big event this week is the Solar Eclipse on Friday early in the morning and the Sun’s entry into Aries marking the moment Spring officially arrives. The show ain’t over folks! That requires an entry all on its own.  Suffice to say that the energies will be shifting as a new day dawns.  An Eclipse can bring new developments, discoveries and advances.  Keep a positive attitude.  It’s the only way to travel.
