Watch Out! This is a chal­leng­ing jux­ta­po­si­tion of ener­gies; some­body is like­ly to get hurt…or hurt them­selves! More­over, this is hap­pen­ing in the con­text of anoth­er pow­er­ful align­ment that cli­max­es on Thurs­day when Mars Oppos­es Pluto.

Togeth­er, that makes this week a warm-up/wake-up call for the grand align­ment of Uranus and Plu­to as they form their Square from 2012 through 2015, (Note well: Their last “big” align­ment, the Con­junc­tion hap­pened in 1965–66)…In oth­er words…This is It! This is a major part of the Great Trans­for­ma­tion that has been unfold­ing and we are now reach­ing a very impor­tant fork in the road, (bet you could­n’t have guessed that giv­en what has hap­pened lately).

We will be expe­ri­enc­ing (and exam­in­ing) the full mean­ing of this pow­er­ful align­ment in 2012 and beyond, so for now let’s just focus upon: What does today’s aspect mean for you?

Mars rules your desires/aims/aspirations, and the actions you take to gain them. Recent­ly arrived in Can­cer, you are feel­ing your way towards what you want now, you are more cau­tious, care­ful and very con­cerned with security.

Uranus in Aries is chal­leng­ing Mars as regards both what you want and how you go after it. Since Uranus reveals what is hid­den in rather dra­mat­ic ways, (it can feel like a light­ning strike with accom­pa­ny­ing thun­der­claps), you tend to pay attention…but what is Uranus “say­ing”?

Uranus is singing the song of orig­i­nal­i­ty, inde­pen­dence and freedom…it is a clar­i­on call to take up the chal­lenge to forge new begin­nings. Mars is in Can­cer, and is focused upon, (or cling­ing to), the proven but old forms of secu­ri­ty, the old ways of cen­ter­ing. What you are expe­ri­enc­ing is The New Age chal­leng­ing the old order.

Uranus is call­ing the tune here; the old ways must be tran­scend­ed if you are to nur­ture your­self or one anoth­er. Yet the truths of Can­cer are “true”, your core val­ues which are what you are cen­tered upon remain the same, always, but the forms they are expe­ri­enced in and expressed through have become worn out. Uranus says you must forge a new path to your cen­ter, you must find new ways to pro­vide secu­ri­ty. It has always been so…

The “trick” or key is not go to the extremes of either/or, of absolute new free­doms or fear-based cling­ing to old forms…Find the Third Way, the way of Integration…the Way of the Spir­i­tu­al Warrior…

That is your way through, through the time of trou­bles that lie ahead, to the New Age that is dawn­ing all around you.

Though it seems to be a time of end­ings, that the sun is set­ting upon this age…Remember, that is always the way the new begin­ning begins…which means you should…

Turn…turn around and face the glo­ry that is rising!
