Contradiction
and contrast continue coloring daily life. "Buts" cause confusion.
Activities move to uncertain beats. The strain of frustration reaches
the breaking point, and carefully contained feelings burst through barriers
of restraint. Put simply, it's a mess. Fortunately, insight and revelation
also continue to prevail, making it possible to find short cuts through
this complex maze. You'll need a reliable internal compass to guide you
through external obstacles. You'll also need a strong sense of humor,
capable of laughing at life's ironies.
The source
of this week's angst is many fold. First, we're in the last lap of Mercury retrograde—Mercury goes direct late in the day on June 27. Don't get too
excited. While relief from the tedium of details is in sight, as Mercury
turns around, life seems to standstill. What's more, Mars, retrograde until July 19, continues to oppose Mercury. This opposition taxes nervous
systems, creating the need to grumble. Complain, if you must. Whine, even.
Just keep in mind that everyone has been under the strain of this irritable
influence for the last several weeks. So as you bemoan your fate, be equally
willing to indulge to the grousing of others.
The next
stress contributor ups the emotional ante. The stars are moving out of
their tightly held, polarized positions, which should make it easier to
drop entrenched positions and rigid postures. But an eclipse stymies this
separation process, making it harder to access an easier attitude. Yesterday,
as the Sun moved into Cancer, the Moon, also in Cancer, eclipsed it. During
a Solar Eclipse, the Moon overshadows the Sun, and the unconscious takes
center stage. As the tension of recent weeks releases, it converges with
the untrammeled energy of the eclipse, making eruptions probable. What
you managed not to say in the midst of the retrodrama might be the only
thing you say, now.
Fortunately,
Uranus provides catalytic conversion, as it continues trining Jupiter and Mercury. We love this astro combo because it inspires the desire for
the biggest possible perspective. If you're lost in small-minded thinking,
this trine can pull you out of the doldrums and onto the high seas of
consciousness. Anticipate unforeseen solutions suddenly appearing on the
horizon. Uranus loves surprises and when it unites with Jupiter and Mercury,
miracles are possible, particularly if you're willing to reinvent your
outlook. What's more, optimism flourishes, generating the necessary breadth
to explore your options. Expect something good to happen and it just might.
