WE ARE ENTERING A WEEK OF DIFFICULT TRANSITS. PAY ATTENTION AND BE CAREFUL:
MERCURY OPPOSES PLUTO:
On Saturday August 1st at 6:52 A.M. EDT we will be apt to act out in compulsive ways, unable to let go of something that is irking. This is the first in a series of somewhat harsh transits that demand your attention. It’s a more forceful aspect than the two we experienced Thursday. Now you are more likely to seek some honest and delving answers to important issues that have been festering. If you used the opposition to Jupiter properly you should have been able to state your case without stirring up much resistance or antagonism. If so, you can continue the conversation now and expect that there will be a few things brought out that need to be rehashed, and you should be able to do so comfortably. If this opposition to Pluto brings up a conflict with someone new, you need to be careful how you express your idea. Don’t be too pig-headed or you may get into quarrels that could just as easily be avoided. There is a tendency to be obsessive when Pluto is active and it’s harder to let things go.
This and Sunday’s Sun square Uranus are leading up to the Full Moon in Aquarius. The recent events, including the economic and political news should be sufficient to get many people on the edge of their seat. This isn’t a time of pretty stories and a calm gentle summer. It’s a period of revolution similar to other times in our history. But the combination of difficult issues all coming at us at once is creating mental stress at a level rarely seen. Try to find something that relaxes you so you can avoid the stress this series of aspects will create over the next few days. If you can do that you may be able to stroll through this week and avoid the pitfalls. If you let yourself get too caught up in the fray you may succumb to the tension. It’s up to you.
