StarCycles with Georgia Stathis

As this week begins, the Sun has just created a square with transiting Uranus. The Sun is in practical Virgo, while Uranus, the ultimate revolutionary thinker, is still in early degrees of Gemini. Both Virgo and Gemini are signs ruled by Mercury and Mercury is the character in mythology who passes in and out of hell unscathed.

Forever the messenger with winged feed and helmet, he flies between events, ideas, situations, much like a bumble bee ever pollinating the environment with things he finds out, discovers. His only purpose is to pass information and transmit it.

The issue here is that the Sun and Uranus are rarely in a conflicting hard aspect and in the news, they often bring sudden surprises around world leaders (the new Pope Leo was named in May of this year when Sun/Uranus were conjoined). At that same time and during that month an Alpine village of 300+ villagers and all their livestock were quickly removed from that village due to an extremely fast melting glacier. It was also in that same week that the long missing statue of Jim Morrison of the Doors was returned to Pierre Lachet Cemetery in Paris France!

So, what should we expect during this square – which is an opening square, where solutions to ongoing problems sometimes just show up unexpectedly and more likely when you least expect it. I had mentioned in an earlier post how the current transit of Uranus in Gemini (only with us for a few short months) might bring revolutionary changes in thinking or more out of the box ideas regarding things that are not working in our personal as well as our political and professional lives. Uranus is the counterpoint to extreme actions.

With this week’s transit of Venus in early Leo opposite transiting Pluto in early Aquarius, the issue of personal values and marking what is important to us and raising our self-worth and value is on the line. This week, as we approach the Total Lunar eclipse in two weeks on September 7, we are producing new plans for change that might even stick. But you must take a stand – say what you want without fear. Venus is about relationships and with this opposition to Pluto it is about saying what you will do and what you cannot do. It takes courage and it brings great relief once you say it.
