Weekly Mandala: Opening

A confusion of darkness parts and a window into hope is revealed.  A much more quiet sky this week in the afterglow of the Uranus Pluto Square.  We'll see some more fireworks from that square with the Full Moon on the 29th, but overall a MUCH quieter week.

• 24th- Moon in Capricorn square Saturn in Libra.  This evening the Moon moves into Aquarius we will feel the energy pick up pace as we edge closer to the Full Moon on Friday.

• 26th - Moon and Mercury trine Jupiter gives us energy and boosts faith and confidence.  Bouyant energy, things are looking up.

• 27th- Venus square Mars.  Passions run high.  Avoid fighting and aim at peacemaking instead.

• 29th- The Full moon in Aries is hitting the Uranus Pluto Square energy.  Sun in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries and Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn.  Speeding up the wrap up of Saturn in Libra, but pinging those Libra lessons one last time to make sure we got the point if we didn't catch the lesson the first time.

• 30th- Moon still Aries but easing off the intensity by sextiling Jupiter.

Weekly Mandala: Southwest III, Through the Stained Glass Window

Hold on to your hats because we have some major movements in the sky.  This is a HUGE week Astrologically! By this time next week we will all have been shaken, rattled, and stirred up by the dramatic effects of this week's astrological tornado.

On Sunday the 16th, Mercury, planet of communication and travel, moved into Libra, the sign of balance, relationships, and justice.  Today Mercury immediately inconjuncts foggy Neptune, currently retrograde in spiritual Pisces.  Ambiguity will challenge communications today.  Be as clear as you can.  This is the calm before the storm slowly disintegrating as the clouds move over us and the rain begins.

Weekly Mandala: Southwest II, In the City

Today the Sun (the personal will) conjuncts (works well with, merges with) Mercury (pattern recognition, information, communication, travel).  Prepare for that lightning bolt epiphany if it hasn't hit you already!

Festival of Orgone: Odin Diving into Orgone

Here we see the masculine figure of Odin diving deep into the multiphasic multigender Orgone energy. Already his boundaries have blurred and any warlike red energy has been transformed into diffuse violets and purples and pinks.  The masculinity has no choice but to give up to this new paradigm.  All his resistance is overwhelmed by the enormity and power of the Aether.  The structures of ego melt away as the new energy of the Orgone surrounds and pervades all areas.  The dive disrupts the immediate surroundings, sending up bubbles and stray bits of identity as Odin begins to melt into the Orgone.

Eve of the Festival of Orgone: The Orgone Bomb

Here we are at the eve of the festival of Orgone and who knows what all lurks ahead!  There are several weighty astrological happenings over the next two weeks, all of which will certainly be in my thoughts and affect my actions as I move through the festival.  The most major of these events is less than a week away: the Uranus Pluto exact square on June 24th.

Weekly Mandala: Plutostorm

Here is a face for the bombshells Pluto has been dropping into my life over the past year.  Cool energy, but volatile and corrosive.  A strange combo to be sure, but from what I've experienced so far it seems to be a highly solvent influence.  It has been dissolving the old structures of my life one after another with alarming regularity.  More on Pluto in Capricorn.

From this point forward, I'm going to try to post a weekly Mandala.  They are a good way for me to decompress and rekindle my zen...and I haven't done any in quite some time.  I'll try to avoid getting too repetitive with them.  I know after awhile they can all look the same.
