Tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse at 8 degrees, 12 minutes of
Pisces is a real humdinger. This Eclipse has the warrior Mars conjunct the
rebel Uranus with both opposing Jupiter; usually considered benevolent but
often bringing too much of a good thing.
This combination squares off with Pluto the destroyer and transformer. Pluto is the “don’t fuck with me”
planet. You can’t win, he’s inexorable,
hangs around for a long time, goes back and forth over the same degrees
seemingly forever, he’s there until you get it right or discard it and start
anew.
Expect wild swings in the stock market and other
financial markets. Also a surprise,
covert military operation. This has an
international flavor with treaties, debt owed the nation and immigration
boiling up and overflowing. Strong reactions on all sides confuse the
issues. Monday will start off with a
bang. The shock waves will continue throughout the week with Thursday being an
especially volatile day. Saturday Venus
begins her retrograde period another factor that will have an impact on the
markets. The aspects in the chart of the Eclipse create an anything goes
atmosphere. In addition to the
unexpected in the financial and political world the natural world also holds a
few surprises. Uranus in this chart, in
combination with Mars, Jupiter and Pluto speaks to explosive events, whether it’s
an earthquake, volcano or a shocking headline.
The Putin/Trump/election business will continue to
unfold. And with Jupiter retrograding
back to his natal Jupiter he will continue to blow it off as disgruntled
Democrats. But Saturn is waiting in the wings. At present President Trump’s supporters
continue to believe and support him despite the obvious and repeated
falsehoods. This summer will be a hot
one for him. Some of the allure he holds over folks will begin to unravel. Cracks will begin to appear in July and
August as Saturn hits his Sun and Moon. By this time next year when Saturn opposes his
talker, Mercury, President Trump will be facing some hard truths.
In the meantime, President
Trump will continue to try and control the media. Unlike Russia, where Vladimir
Putin has the media in his pocket, here in the United States our Constitution
guarantees freedom of the press.
President Trump and his advisors are acutely aware of the power of the
media and the importance of controlling the flow of information. President Trump’s continued battle with the
media is an attempt at control. His
speeches and tweets about fake news, dishonest news, failing news are part of
his efforts to undermine confidence in the media. Which isn’t hard to do given that it is
corporate media and honest news without a particular slant is hard to
find. But there are some good, honest,
hardworking investigative journalists out there and they will continue digging
and reporting.
For the rest of us: Don’t try to rush into things without
thinking them through. Romance may hold
disappointments if we are not seeing the other as they really are. Take off the rose colored glasses and face
the reality of the situation. With Venus
retrograding in Aries, love and money can be misplaced. Mars in Aries wants to rush headlong into
whatever strikes the eye, whether it is a love relationship, a money deal or a
safari through the Amazon, with no thought to the consequences. This Eclipse in Pisces nudges us toward the
spiritual. Drop the ego, get beyond the
self and get into universal love, caring and giving. Take the high road.
