1. Ceres activates the Uranus-Pluto square from the 2nd through 9th from the family-oriented sign of Cancer, indicating major developments in parent-child dynamics. Creative changes are favored to get out of ruts in the caretaking department. Talking about financial priorities will be helpful in managing the inevitable crises that turn up. Ceres brings major life passages, like pregnancy, death, and re-birth.
2. The Solar Eclipse on the 9th takes place in Taurus and is conjoined by Mercury, Mars and Pallas. This confluence of planets points to an eventful time, and an energetic new beginning for many, especially concerning economic security issues. Financial fairness or justice will likely be debate topics in Washington; and one might anticipate the passing of a well-known politician.
3. The Uranus-Pluto square on the 20th is the third in a series of seven between these two, and brings the next phase of the radical, transformative changes sweeping across our global village. The economic, ecological, social, military and technological systems that we depend on are pressured to reform or collapse. Those with planets in the 9º to 12º of the cardinal signs will be most directly influenced.
4. The Lunar Eclipse on the 24th takes place in the mental signs, Gemini and Sagittarius, and squares Neptune in Pisces. For many, this may bring a phase of confusion and uncertainty, while for the more mystically inclined, fascinating insights and revelations. This is a good time to take a break from work and routines and become more receptive to dreams, intuition, and the web of life that connects everyone.
5. A triple conjunction involving Mercury, Venus and Jupiter unfolds from the 24th through 29th in versatile Gemini. This combination of planets brings enjoyable social occasions, interesting journeys, and intellectual rapport. Write to loved ones, engage friends and neighbors in gatherings, and if you’re in the market, find a new romantic interest. Think abundance and take a chance on a new adventure.
