Starcodes this Week- Heather Roan Robbins

[WhiteTara]

I just got home from visiting my mother who seemed in good spirits and calm in her acceptance of her impending death (emphysema) which I don't see as soon as she thinks...I tell her she hasn't suffered enough. But I degress...here's Heather's take on our week

This is a pivotal and eventful week astrologically as Mars, our astro-action figure, enters Libra and energizes the biggest planetary patterns of the year and rings them like a bell. In the process Mars conjuncts Saturn, opposes Uranus and Jupiter, and square Pluto. The stories will be big, the themes operatic. Let’s hope some of it will be a comedy.

Mars can set this off all in a row because these outer planets already form a T-square with one another on and off all year. Think of standing at a crossroads with three cars heading down three different roads, all tied to a point in the center but each gaining traction roaring down their separate paths. Now add Mars’ rocket fuel.

Mars in Libra loans us an even temper, and this will help soften the mood, but under these aspects our temper can break like a thunderstorm when it gets activated. So let’s be careful who we use as a lightning rod. We can get on a klutzy jag and start dropping everything. Mars can also come to our rescue with fast, adaptable reflexes and smart engineering feats. Which we may need under these both accident- prone and militant Mars-Uranus-Pluto aspects.

These aspects have left many people at the crossroads trying to decide which path to take, either under pressure to make a change, or just feeling discontent about the path they’re now upon. This week may require us to leave one road so we can walk down another. But let’s not rush things, because this discontent can tempt us to take action just because we’re uncomfortable, and not because it will get us anywhere. And it can trigger some truly crazy behavior.

This line-up can act as a trigger for karmic process of all types, it brings things out in the open, both hidden gifts, worries, and also things we may not be so proud of. Best we look at them squarely, be grateful for the bounty and take responsibility for the rest. It can trigger a turning point in major world events.
