I very much appreciate receiving your comments... thankyou. In order to answer your personal questions it is necessary for me to do an indepth look at your individual chart. So, if you have any questions you would like answered about your own chart, I welcome you to book an appointment for a personal consultation.

Mars has just entered Libra on the 29th, which would not normally be very significant, since it happens every two years or so. However, as it enters Libra this time Mars conjuncts Saturn, which is already part of a highly stressful and intense aspect pattern opposing Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn. Now, the volatile energy of Mars is added to this already tense setup, which could make this an extremely stressful, action-packed week. Sometimes the Moon can trigger such a planetary setup as it moves quite quickly through the zodiac, passing over the other planets' positions. So it will be very interesting to see what happens on July 30th, when the Moon enters Aries and conjuncts Uranus and Jupiter, becoming part of this alignment, and briefly involving six of the celestial bodies in this tense and volatile aspect pattern. This kind of intense planetary alignment is relatively rare and because it involves the heavyweights, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, it is definitely indicating an extremely significant time. It seems that, in case we hadn't noticed, humanity is at a serious crossroads.

Your planetary ruler, Mars, may be the fiery energy that kicks things into high gear this week as it is now conjunct Saturn in your opposite sign Libra, opposing Uranus and Jupiter in your sign, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn. That is a great deal of planetary energy interacting in a very stressful, dynamic aspect pattern and since it involves planets in your sign, you are likely feeling the intensity of this volatile, transformational setup. With Uranus and Jupiter in your sign, you may just want to be free to 'do your own thing', but it would seem that there are others who may be fighting to control you as well as other forces beyond your control.

The current, very stressful, aspect pattern suggests that you could experience conflict at work, possibly because of a controlling co-worker. Another possibility is that you could experience some health issues now, probably due to internalized stress which may also be affecting your sleep with disturbing dreams, insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. It is time to let go of belief systems that are limiting you, but you may not be consciously aware of some of the beliefs that are affecting your life and your health so profoundly. Whatever is happening now may serve to make you more consciously aware of your beliefs and how they shape your reality.

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is just beginning to slow down as it prepares for its next retrograde phase in about three weeks and your attention may be more focused on memories of past experiences, particularly early life experiences and family relationships. In your relationships with children or friends or situations involving creative projects, you may find that you are struggling with issues of power and control now. Changes are happening that are beyond your control and you may be struggling to find some balance between a desire for freedom and the constraints of your responsibilities. This is likely to create feelings of stress and some frustration.

Your sign is generally very concerned about security, so this can be an extremely stressful time for you. With the current aspect pattern involving Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, with all of them squaring Pluto in your opposite sign, Capricorn, there is a great deal of upheaval, disruption and uncertainty right now. You may feel it most intensely when your planetary ruler, the Moon, conjuncts Uranus and Jupiter on July 30th and again on August 6th, when the Moon enters your sign, opposing Pluto and squaring all those other planets. The more you fight change and try to hold on to the status quo the more difficult this period will be for you.

Your planetary ruler, the Sun, is in your sign as it is each year at this time, but the sun's radiance may be overshadowed by the energy of the current planetary configuration involving Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn. This is a highly stressful aspect pattern and it seems that major shifts and changes are affecting your work or your health. Much of the stress for you seems to be coming from how you perceive and think and your beliefs about yourself and the world in which you live. You may become aware now of how profoundly your mental attitudes and beliefs affect your health and physical well-being.

Although your planetary ruler, Mercury, and Venus are both in your sign now, you may not really feel their energy as it is no match for the current aspect pattern involving Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn. This highly stressful planetary configuration is at its peak right now, so you may be feeling more stressed than usual, especially with regards to money, possessions and material security. This is a time of great instability, upheaval, disruption and uncertainty. The more you try to control things, the more out-of-control you are likely to feel. Accept what is...change happens.

Mars is now conjunct Saturn in your sign, and both are opposing Uranus and Jupiter in your opposite sign, Aries, while all of them square Pluto in Capricorn. That is an extremely stressful and very powerful planetary pattern. It signifies great change, but also some resistance to change, which is why it can be so very stressful. With both Mars and Saturn in your sign you can be quite defensive, reactionary and rigid, trying to exercise control and maintain the status quo in the face of great instability, upheaval and disruption. It may feel as if the change is coming at your from the outside, but it is really an inside job.

Transformation is often a theme for your sign, but so is power, and there is a tendency for Scorpios to want to feel that they have the power to create the transformations. With the current very intense aspect pattern involving Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, with all of them squaring your planetary ruler, Pluto, in Capricorn you may be feeling stressed and frustrated because you are not in control of the major transformational changes that are creating such instability, upheaval and disruption. The more you think you can control things right now, the more difficult and painful the current situation will be for you. It is time for a paradigm shift.

Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, is conjunct Uranus in Aries as both oppose Mars and Saturn in Libra, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn, so like everyone else, you will feel the effects of this relatively rare, stressful, dynamic planetary configuration. Although of all the signs, you may experience this time of instability, upheaval and disruption as more exciting and exhilarating than scary, even you may be feeling stressed, especially when it comes to money or material security. You could also have some conflict with friends who may regard your behaviour as reckless, irresponsible or even childish. The universe will definitely let you know if your behaviour is too risky or irresponsible right now.

Pluto is in your sign, at the apex of this T-square which also involves Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries. This aspect pattern suggests that humanity itself is at a crossroads right now, and so are you in your own life. Your sign tends to be very invested in the status quo, but humanity as a group can no longer carry on with 'business as usual', and neither can you. This is a time of great instability, upheaval and disruption globally and for you, personally, so you are likely to be feeling very stressed. With Mars currently conjunct your planetary ruler, Saturn, and both squaring Pluto in your sign, you may be quite defensive and reactive and likely to get into power struggles to feel in control.

Uranus is your planetary ruler and is one of the planets involved in the current powerful aspect pattern as it is still conjunct Jupiter in Aries, both opposing Mars and Saturn in Libra, with all squaring Pluto in Capricorn. Your sign can tend to be rebellious and revolutionary and with this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, you are likely to express ideas, thoughts and opinions that shake people up and could get you involved in power struggles as others may try to shut you down, shut you up or otherwise impose restrictions on your freedom of thought and expression. However, your main struggle may not be with others, but with your own outdated and limiting beliefs.

For you, the effects of this current planetary aspect pattern involving Mars and Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, with all of them squaring Pluto in Capricorn are likely to be most strongly felt in the area of finances and material security. It may be that others are trying to impose their values on you and are critical that you are not more concerned with establishing financial stability and security for yourself. Yours is not the most practical, down-to-earth of signs, after all. You do tend to be intuitive, though, and may be intuitively aware that the changes that are happening to our economy and other social structures are beyond our control.
