Today I Start my Life Anew...

The ancient astrologers used 'characters' to describe the energy patterns... That made it a lot easier for 'normies' to understand... So let's slip into the abstract for a while cause we're goin' into some really strange energies... Strap on the protective head gear as we may need it... hehe...

Consider how a guy (we'll call him Neptune) would feel if he's been runnin' the show for 2600 years... And suddenly 'the new guy' (we'll call him Uranus) comes in and starts to bring about all kinds of changes... Neptune has known this change has been comin' for hundreds of years, so he started a plan long ago to 'unseat' the new guy when he arrives... So he enlists a few of his associates (Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto) to help.

Now this 'Team of 4' are radically different from each other... Like the 4 points of a compass, they do not see 'eye to eye' on ANY issue, other than they do not want to work under Uranus for the next 2600 years... They do not really have a defined plan as they're all just free-stylin' and doin' their own thing... What triggers/activates their actions is when 'the connectors' (Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury) make contact and give them (not always accurate) information or instructions... And naturally 'chaos follows'...
That is where we are now.

In the scenerio above, in today's world Jupiter and Saturn could be seen as the opposing political sides... For the most past, Pluto doesn't care... Pluto just loves to break things and cause trouble... Neptune has 'hurt feelings' and wants others to 'suffer' as he is/has... Like I said, this is strange energy for sure and it is all amplied as all 4 of these 'horsemen' are retrograde.

So this week... Mars and Mercury are tryin' to 'work both sides' as they are tryin' to become Uranus's buddies... They're doing this by trying to undermine Saturn... Venus catches onto Mars and Mercury's game, so Venus let's Saturn know what's goin' on... It has that classic 'soap-opera' quality that has real and powerful effects on all of us.

Ultimately we already know that Uranus will be victorious!!... How this happens is anyone's guess... The 'North Node' (direction of the winds) is in Gemini and that is the reason events seem to go 'back and forth' from 'one side to another'... And the 'horsemen' are not going to give up without a fight... In fact, this may just be the 'warm up' before the 'big game'.

You'll notice that most of the conflicts and chaos that we're seeing have/are either based on the 'mind' OR the 'emotions'... Jupiter/Neptune distort the emotions and compassions... While Saturn/Neptune can skew the facts... Pluto is solid in it's quest to bring about even more division and chaos.

It's not my place to tell you what to think or feel... But there are a lot of people that are in need of help... Or are very scared of what may happen to them... Uranus just sits in the middle (or close to it) and watches it all unfold... Once you get past the drama of it all, it's very easy to understand... But getting past the drama is the hard part when you're concerned about your future 'survival' and those you love and care for... Sometimes ya have to let the movie play out before you can see and understand the real intentions and motivation of the characters.

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys in the Daily 'Scopes...
Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The weekly horoscope for Virgo is all about dealing with the oppositions, confusions and chaos you are being confronted with... A big part of this is realizing what you have control over and what you do not... So you can focus your attention on the things you can personal affect... At the same time, there is a tendency to want to 'do the things that others are supposed to do'... (a way of avoiding your own responsibilities)... Not easy energy because you want to be helpful, but at times you gotta 'stand your ground'.

...Show some Love...
