Venus - Pluto Opposition: Compromise is Not an Option

Each week I tell myself I'm not going to write any more about Trump but then he does something that so perfectly manifests the astrological moment I feel compelled to comment if only to keep a record as a sort of guide to the meaning of the planets for future generations. This week we've got Venus opposing Pluto creating power struggles along with a square to Jupiter which inflates and makes bigger whatever else is going on. PLUS we're heading to the once-in-a-lfetime eclipse which is making harsh aspects to both Trump's chart and the chart of the United States. It all adds up to a man having an inflated - Jupiter - idea of his abilities who consequently exposes himself to danger, and thus invites - Pluto - disaster. We're already seeing evidence of these energies in the stand-off with North Korea and the demonstration in North Carolina, but the influence of an eclipse is said to last for weeks, months, maybe an entire year. Don't expect things to calm down any time soon.

Meanwhile, in our personal lives these unusual planetary patterns are requiring us to be unusually conscious of our own priorities. Where should we place our focus? Is keeping up with the news making us informed, or keeping us immobilized like deer caught in headlights and too frightened to move?
I find it most helpful to remember anything that takes us out of our own personal purpose is a DISTRACTION. I think of the famous ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." While this simple salutation sounds innocuous enough, it is deceptively cunning. "Interesting times" do not rouse us to action, instead they quietly hook our attention and pull us off our course - without our even noticing! How often have you meant to just check one quick thing on the internet only to fine you get sucked into meaningless side stories and wind up losing all track of your original intention? Hours go by wasted and you may never complete your task - and you don't even realize you are being manipulated. This is what's known as "interesting times" and it's going on big time in society today. We read these awful stories about crazy politicians and insane neo-Nazis, but how is spending our time reading helping?  We are being constantly bombarded news reports that seem to require our immediate attention but really they have nothing to do with us. They are distractions. This week particularly with these very difficult planetary alignments, try to focus on your own world. If there is something positive you can do politically - call your Senator for example - do it, but beware of getting caught up in just reading the horror stories.

The aspects to be particularly aware of ...

Monday, August 14. The day starts off with a very nice Moon in Taurus sextile to Venus in Cancer and a trine to Pluto in Capricorn but ends with a Moon square to the Sun. Simplicity and caution in your behavior wins the day. Proceed at your own pace and in your own way to do something of value in the world. Take it one step at a time and you will make progress without becoming dependent or obligated to others.

Tuesday, August 15. Venus opposes Pluto. Calmly continue on your course and accept what is happening so you avoid entanglements or getting caught up in mass hysteria. Venus rules balance. Be modest, moderate and self-reliant, and you will succeed in accomplishing your goal.

Wednesday, August 16. Venus squares Jupiter. Being too sure of yourself and moving ahead without caring about the consequences exposes your short comings and invites problems. Try small goals and you are more likely to succeed.

Thursday, August 17.  Moon in Gemini moving towards an opposition to Pluto. Faced with a dangerous set of circumstances, use your common sense to consciously plan ahead. Gather information you need, and then move forward gently, in a friendly way, and with extreme caution. As Gemini rules communication you may feel inspired to speak up, write your congressman or somehow let your point of view be known. If so, don't just think about it, act!

Friday, August 18. Moon opposition Pluto. What you propose to do may be risky, and the next step will take courage, resoluteness, and a new strategy. With confidence and your eyes open for potential danger, continue slowly until you succeed.

Saturday, August 19. Mars sextile Jupiter. You may be close to your goal. Consider what worked well and what did not. Continue to proceed with caution.

Over all we see the week ahead is one where we are being guided to be friendly and aware but also to act.

There are those who make things happen, those who let things happen and those who ask, "Uh, what happened?" This is the week to find out which one is you.
