Weekly insights into the stars
The week starts slowly, but don’t be fooled. We’re in the Taurus season, sign of Fixed Earth. However, the rumblings and grumblings – that started with the Sun meeting up with disruptive, spontaneous but always change loving Uranus in Taurus a couple of weeks ago – are definitely getting louder…
There’s a complex picture in the making at the moment as two awkward patterns are being formed by a combination of three planets, firstly Mercury, Mars and Saturn early in the week and then Mars, Jupiter and Pluto at the weekend. In between these two tangled areas we have mixed Mercury aspects and a New Moon…
Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Nearly always, these major aspects are at their most powerful when “applying”, ie in the process of becoming exact. They generally show during the 48 hours prior to the moment of exactitude and then their long lasting results are the things to be dealt with in the aftermath.
If you’ve been following the blog recently, you’ll know that Mercury moving backwards and forwards has also resulted in a series of three-legged transits involving the slower moving outer planets – Saturn, Neptune and Pluto…
There’s still a lot of complexity unfolding, especially as Mercury is still retrograde and still repeating a series of aspects that were first formed in February. These aspects repeat for the third and final time in April, after Mercury goes direct (on 28 March).
