Energetic
cross-currents distort the passage of time, this week, creating peculiar
daily rhythms. On the 3-D, too much fun causes certain hours to disappear
too quickly, while burdensome tasks make others tick away at a snail's
pace. Don't be surprised if you're confused by the contrasts. These riptides
also have an emotional impact, and adjusting to the constantly shifting
flow could make you feel out of sorts. Instead of struggling to match
the external, erratic beats of the week, set your inner clock to a tempo
suitable to your individual needs, and you'll ride the waves of the week
with greater ease.
A Sun-Jupiter
sextile supplies the week's rapid stride and supports an active attitude.
Jupiter likes expansion, the Sun loves life, and when they work in unison,
the Sun and Jupiter produce a happy heart, eager for experience. Jupiter
does tend toward excess, encouraging endeavors of all kinds—especially
activities aimed at pleasure. Use this sextile to have a great time—revel
even—but try not to overdo or squander your energy.
A Venus-Neptune
opposition warps time in a completely different direction. When Neptune and Venus face off, we space out. Daydreaming flourishes under this influence
as fantasies about the past or the future obscure the present moment.
This opposition also turns the air hypersensitive. Illusion replaces reality,
which means perceptions are likely to be based on projections. Before
you make assumptions,
check your facts. Keep in mind, a Venus-Neptune opposition thrives on
romantic imagination. As this influence coalesces with the excessive exuberance
of the Sun-Jupiter sextile, you could find yourself infatuated one moment
and disappointed the next.
Once again,
the ongoing Saturn-Pluto opposition provides the undertow of the week,
and its pull is capable of producing waves of overwhelm. This week, Pluto in Sagittarius, squares the Sun in Virgo, as Saturn in Gemini, also squares
the Sun. Virgo is a naturally care-giving sign, and one of its shadow
themes is learning to discern the difference between sacrifice and service.
The Sun-Saturn-Pluto T-square amps up this lesson, as it highlights the
notion that struggle is the surest way to success. Try not to let this
cold, rigid influence degenerate into an attitude of renunciation or deprivation.
If you're attached to the idea that suffering is noble, use this influence
to reevaluate that pattern. Don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong
with hard work—it's just not synonymous with hard labor. What's more,
any work expressed with joy, ripples across the pond of life with a lasting
positive effect.
