Mercury Square Uranus, Conjunct Pluto: Together We Stand

Theme for the week: People getting together to help each other through tough times.

Choose your friends wisely these next seven days. Mercury squaring Uranus Wednesday and conjuncting Pluto on Friday means unusual alliances are in the making. This could bring an opportunity to hire help and to team up with new partners but choose carefully - success requires real commitment, something more than just partial involvement.

To further understand the demands of this time I consulted that ancient Chinese oracle, the I Ching, asking for insight as to how best to go about creating bonds for friendship and assistance. I was guided to read Hexagram 8. Seeking Union.

The I Ching is made up of 64 chapters or hexagrams and each one covers a different life situation with advice on how to navigate it. Hexagram 8 focuses on how to unite with others for the purpose of mutual protection. This could apply to many situations including someone seeking a marriage partner or to a whole country seeking to negotiate a trade agreement with a whole other country. What ever your personal situation is this week I think you will find the I Chings insights useful.

If you are looking to meet with others this week the I Ching offers these important considerations:

1.When you meet with others for the first time - be it a blind date, a job interview, or just asking a waiter for a table - you may first feel somewhat uncertain. This is natural. So when starting out, take a moment to get your bearings, do all you can to feel secure within BEFORE asking for any assistance.

For the purpose of this blog, let's assume you are intending to go to a gathering in the hopes of meeting someone new. This first line of advice says know that the first step to making a good match is to realize you are actually just fine the way you are. In short - don't act needy!

2. Look to see if you can establish some sort of inner connection with the person you wish to join with. Perhaps you share a mutual friend of at least a mutual interest - something that you can both agree is pleasant and positive.

Applying this idea to our meeting-someone-new scenario this advice means come to the party prepared with something light to talk about, sports, the weather etc.

3. Be careful of lending your support to the wrong people. Some folks you talk to will make big promises. If you paid attention to the first step and are strong within you wont fall for flattery!

I think here the I Ching is warning, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

4. Look for support beyond your usual circle. Newcomers and strangers could be bringing new life.

5. No bribery or coercion, please! The ones who are right for you are those who want to join up out of their own free will and inner guidance.

6. Have an idea how long you want the union to last - till death do us part of just long enough to have a pleasant evening?

In any union, knowing how you're going to get out of it can be the toughest - and smartest! - step of all.

Other aspects to be aware of this week:

Venus is leaving Sagittarius Saturday January 23 and entering much more serious Capricorn. Could this mean that after all the Seeking Union, the heart is ready to leave off being the traveling bachelor and start working on the pre-nup?

Full Moon in Leo opposite the Sun in Aquarius Saturday night - As everything comes out in the open under a full Moon, if your are starting to date someone new about now this evening will be a fine time for getting to know that new friend!

It's a great time to get a full reading too so give me a call!

Your friend,
