THE MOON is in Aries as we begin the week, and so interacts
with each of the planets in our Cardinal Grand Cross on Monday and Tuesday (see
exact times in the Highlighted Aspects list).
The most noticeable effects are
likely to be Monday afternoon and evening (Pacific Standard Time), when the
Moon aligns with Uranus and then squares both Jupiter and Pluto.
Although the Moon’s aspects are
generally fleeting in their effects, lasting two to three hours at most, once
again we should get some insights into the larger influence of the Cardinal
Grand Cross while these aspects are at work.
If we pay attention to how we’re
feeling, and what situations attract our attention during these times, we may
get some clarity on what we’re being asked to work on, and how we’re being
asked to change during these first six months of 2014.
ON WEDNESDAY, a flowing trine aspect between Jupiter and Chiron is
exact.
As these two planets interact
throughout this week, we are supported in strengthening our hope in the future
and our trust in the universe… very important tools to have in our pockets
during times of change.
This is the second of three
Jupiter-Chiron trines in a nine-month period.
The first occurred on August 21,
2013.
The third will be part of a Grand
Water Trine between Jupiter, Chiron and Saturn, which is strongest around May
15 of this year.
Trines do not push us
in the way that the “hard” aspects do.
This means it is
entirely up to us to take advantage of this supportive energy this week… but
every time we choose to take a step in the direction of greater hope, optimism
and trust, we have a gentle wind at our backs, encouraging our progress.
MERCURY goes retrograde… backward on Thursday,
beginning a 21-day period of review and introspection.
It is said to be wise to wait until
Mercury is again moving direct… forward… before signing important papers,
making major decisions, or finalizing communications.
If circumstances require you to do
any of these things before February 28…
… just be sure you completely
understand all the instructions and double check all your facts before taking
important steps.
Speaking from experience, I know
that life can get pretty complicated if we ignore
Mercury retrogrades directives.
Those potential frustrations aside,
Mercury’s retrograde phase has a lot of positive possibility.
It’s a time when we are encouraged
to go within, to review where we’ve been, and to pause a bit before embarking
on new journeys.
It’s also a great time to review plans we’ve been working on, to make sure we’ve considered all perspectives before going forward.
And, it is good for meditation and
other practices where we turn our attention inward and still our ever-active
minds for a while.
Blessings,Pam
