New Moon on Monday Astrology

9 August 2011 ~ 

This post is from June 24 - when the GCC was being activated by the Sun and Mercury in Cancer.  Both have moved on to Leo, but now it’s Mars in Cancer, filling in the missing link to activate the cross.  Mars is way more aggressive energy.  Mars moves, it wants action.  This weather is especially potent this week as Mars squared the planet Uranus this morning and will be opposing Pluto tomorrow night.  Anybody feelin’ it?  

Now that the Sun Mars is moving through Cancer, there are planets in all four of the Cardinal signs:  the planet Uranus in Aries across from Saturn in Libra and squaring Pluto in Capricorn across from the Sun and Mercury Mars in Cancer. That’s a mouthful, right?

Look at the picture above and imagine there are cars speeding straight toward each other, chicken style, from every corner.  That’s kind of how it feels.  Tension’s building, things seem to be speeding up, decisions have to be made immediately and anything can (and will) happen. 

*Update:  The Sun and Mercury shone a spotlight on this energy. When they were the missing link in the cross, their energy brought it to our attention.  Now that Mars is the missing link, it’s way more about ACTION and even aggression.  London’s Burning.

This stuff’s not going away anytime soon.  It will be increasing in intensity through 2012, and especially potent any time there are planets in Cancer, which activates the whole thing. (That’s because the planets in Capricorn, Aries, and Libra are all there to stay for a long, long time - Cancer, the fourth corner, is especially activated as the faster,  personal planets {the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars} travel through.)

So what to do?  Get brave, hold fast, and make sure your seat belt’s on.  Remember it’s happening to all of us in one way or another.  Try to use it to your benefit, instead of just letting it affect you.  

The planet Uranus (currently in Aries) is unexpected upsets from out of the blue, chaos and rebellion and freedom too.  The antidote is being open and ready for anything. 

The planet Saturn (currently in Libra) is foundation and discipline and limits.  The antidote is hard work, which totally brings some rad rewards.

The planet Pluto (currently in Capricorn) is power and transformation, destruction that leads to being born all over again.  The antidote is letting go of all resistance. 

Do your best.  Chances are, you’ve got some big ideas right now.  Take a chance and try to make them happen.  Work hard toward the things you believe in.  Try to lose any preconceptions. Picture yourself surviving that chicken fight and coming out with more gold and prizes than you were ever expecting in the first place.  Because, if we use it right, this weather is liable to bring some pretty amazing transformations. 

Stay Positive,
