Weekly Forecast: November 9 - 15, 2014

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
Weekly Forecast: November 9 - 15, 2014
11/9 ~ Venus (socializing) ~square~ Jupiter (increase):
This energy is a happy-go-lucky kind of energy that doesn't really want to be bothered with the mundane, however, you must not allow that passing energy to get you so off track that it costs you more than it is worth. If you don't have any pressing obligations, then this will be a fun, relaxing time, possibly with friends having a good time. However, if you have work to do, make sure it gets done first so you can truly enjoy yourself without the worry of the pile being bigger when you return. Watch the excesses as well, food, drink and/or spending.
11/10 ~ Mars (desires) ~conjunct~ Pluto (transformation):
This is an extremely powerful combination of energy. If it is properly channeled, magical results are possible. If your ego is engaged, tragic results are possible. This is ‘lower will' versus ‘higher will' increasing each other's strength and potency. So if you know who you are and what you want, then this energy can catapult you to the next level, giving you endless energy, power and drive to accomplish your goals. Restriction of any kind will make you angry, so anticipate as much as you can and get creative. You may have to work within certain limitations, but don't let your ego (or wanting YOUR way) block the blessing of this transit. Any time Pluto is involved, complete transformation is at work, so go with it. Be clear about your desires, commit to release any/all blockages and own your power in a positive way, no victim consciousness lest you attract a victim circumstance.
11/11 ~ Mercury (ideas) ~trine~ Neptune (dreams):
This energy stimulates your creative process. You may be tempted to daydream but it is better to use that energy to investigate the deeper meaning of your current process. If you do get to talk to people about what's on your mind, it is not the time for pragmatic analysis, but more a time to explore the infinite possibilities available to you. You may be more sensitive than usual, opening yourself to information that isn't always that readily available. Pay attention and allow the information to flow - analyze it later - for now, just allow the ideas and information to come to you.
11/12 ~ Venus (values) ~conjunct~ Saturn (responsibility):
This energy is all about your values and responsibilities. You will be very practical about the things and people that are important to you. Only things and people of substance will be tolerated and subsequently, some long term relationships end during this transit because one or both party's values have shifted in some significant way. This energy makes you want to build a solid, worthy foundation - with ANYTHING you value - anything you are creating - a business, a relationship. If you define what you truly value, commit and channel this considerable power, all that you need, desire and deserve will manifest, take root and grow!
11/12 ~ Mars (action) ~square~ Uranus (freedom):
This is the "Rebel" energy - what's your "cause"? If you are clear about your own authentic Truth & Purpose, then this energy is refreshing and uplifting. You acknowledge change is necessary (and inevitable) and you co-create with this energy to transform your current life. This is a rebirth energy too and being "reborn" is never easy. Worth it - but not easy. However, if you are NOT clear about who you are and what you're capable of, this energy shines a light on that aspect of your life which you instinctively already know needs an overhaul but for whatever reason you are still holding on to the old habits/patterns. Unwilling or unable to embrace change at this time, you only increase the feeling of being restricted by external energies. Your life is a direct reflection of what's going on inside you. How's it lookin'? Check your ego, recommit to your Truth and remember that change is GOOD! And if you don't go voluntarily (read: consciously), then you'll get dragged to the new level, kicking and screaming and you'll be so exhausted when you get there that you may miss the beauty in evolving to the next level. (This IS what you've been working toward, correct?) Remember, conscious, effective action creates FREEDOM.
11/13 ~ Sun (core-self) ~square~ Jupiter (truth):
This is a powerful energy. With that comes the necessity of discernment - it provokes you to get lots of things accomplished and that's a good thing, however, beware of taking on more than you can actually handle. Having said that now, if you need that little "push" to get some things done, this is just the energy for you. It carries with it the optimism necessary to allow you to go beyond your normal limitations. There can be a tendency toward self-righteousness with this energy, but try to make it "self-directed" and you will benefit greatly from this energy. If you turn it on others, you may have some difficulties. Be open and receptive, you never know what you may learn along the way that could really help you later.
11/16 ~ Mercury (communication) ~sextile~ Pluto (transformation):
This energy provokes the need to delve deep! In your outer life, you may ask probing questions about any proposals that come your way. It's not a suspicious thing, you just want the whole picture. In your inner life, you will feel brave about looking at the deeper issues you're going through at this time. You may feel ready to face things you haven't been ready to face before now. Also, as a result of gaining these new, deep insights, you'll want to spread the knowledge. You may have the urge to change other people's thinking on a given subject. That's great, if they are open and receptive, not to mention ready. But on the other hand, is it really your place to decide if another is ready or not? Be careful in spreading your new-found insights. Test the waters before you jump!

Highlighted Aspects:
MON: Pluto conjunct Mars; TUE: Neptune trine Mercury; WED: Chiron sextile Mars, Saturn conjunct Venus, Uranus square Mars; THU: Jupiter square Sun, Pluto semisquare Venus; FRI: Uranus sesquisquare Venus; SAT: Neptune stations direct 11:05p PST; SUN: Pluto sextile Mercury, Venus enters Sagittarius, Mercury conjunct Pallas Athene
THE PLANETARY ENERGIES this week conspire to push us forward, helping us release attachments to old ways of being. Mars aligns with Pluto in Capricorn on Monday and then squares Uranus on Wednesday, triggering the energies of the Pluto-Uranus square that we've been working with for the past three years.
These three planets -- Mars, Uranus and Pluto -- are each known for their ability to create movement and change. With the three of them joining forces now, we may expect sudden changes of direction, breakthroughs and breakdowns, and unforeseen events that alter our perspective and perhaps our course of action.
THIS IS a significant astrological event, and we may see important developments personally and globally this week. On a personal level, you may already have noticed that you (or others) are more easily irritated now, and that this has increased over the past few days. And, you may be aware of a strong instinctive, gut-level reaction to feeling pressured or being manipulated by other people or by situations.
These feelings are in sync with the effects of this planetary configuration -- Uranus and Mars in combination can be just a moment away from a burst of anger. Mars and Pluto represent a simmering pot, just on the edge of boiling.
BUT, this amalgam of Pluto-Uranus-Mars energies is also not unique, having occurred as recently as two years ago, in late November 2012. It was slightly different then, since the Mars-Uranus square came first, followed four days later by the Pluto-Mars alignment. But then, as now, we were working with the ongoing Pluto-Uranus square, and Mars became a trigger for manifestations of that energy.

DeleteLooking back at the news headlines in late November 2012, we see the rising anticipation of the ending of the Mayan calendar and what that might mean. We see that a major typhoon called "Bopha" caused upheaval and destruction in the Philippines. We also see that the UN General Assembly approved a motion granting Palestine non-member observer state status.
The essence of the Mars-Uranus-Pluto effect can be seen in these events: disruptions in the status quo, sudden life-changing events, fears being raised, power struggles and emotions being heightened (we can only imagine the debate that must have occurred among the members of the United Nations). We probably will not have to look very hard to see similar themes in the coming week's news, even if the faces and places are different.
LOOKING AT THIS planetary event from a different perspective, we are reminded that Uranus and Pluto are both "transpersonal" planets. This means that their energies can be difficult to manage from a personality level, but that we can also utilize those same energies to assist us in aligning with the transcendent qualities of higher consciousness (Uranus) and higher will (Pluto).
As Mars, a personal planet, gets involved in the mix, it can be harder to observe, react, and act from the higher perspective that is required for best use of these energies -- but not impossible.
I WAS CURIOUS about the Sabian symbol for the 12th degree of Capricorn, where Pluto and Mars align on Monday. The keyword for that degree is "Exploration" and the symbol reads:
"An illustrated lecture on natural science reveals little-known aspects of life. The ability to explore unfamiliar realms and discover the laws underlying the complex processes of nature."
In his interpretation of this symbol, astrologer Dane Rudhyar writes:
"It is our essential function to become fully conscious of all life forms and processes on this earth. We are the conscious mind of the planet."
If we are to fulfill our "essential function," both as this symbol suggests and these planetary alignments require, we will need to keep our perspective enlightened and our vibration high as we work with the energies this week.
(continued)
ReplyDeleteTHANKFULLY, we have some help from Mercury and Neptune in that regard. Neptune comes to a standstill on Saturday, having been retrograde (moving backward) since June 9. This means that Neptune's themes of compassion, creativity and higher love are emphasized this week and next, which should help us as we strive to maintain the higher vibration required for best navigation of the Pluto-Uranus-Mars influence.
Mercury is in harmonious trine aspect to Neptune on Tuesday, the day sandwiched between the two astrologically heavy days. This Mercury-Neptune trine should help us tap into the higher perspective needed, as our conscious minds (Mercury) open to the influence of our high hearts (Neptune).
Then, next Sunday, Mercury aligns with Pallas Athene and forms a sextile aspect with Pluto. These are also positive indicators, supporting our openness to insights and our ability to perceive meanings beyond the obvious interpretations of physical reality.
A LAST WORD, about the Saturn-Venus alignment on Wednesday, the same day as the Uranus-Mars square occurs. We must assume that the influence of this alignment will be woven into our experience of the day's energies, and so are somehow integral to the breakthrough/breakdown effect of Uranus-Mars.
Venus represents affection and relationships, our resources and our values (including self-worth), our art forms and our appreciation of beauty. As Venus joins energies with Saturn, we are likely to take these issues very seriously. We may come to a new understanding of our true needs in any of these areas, and therefore reassess our commitments.
Perhaps this new understanding drives the breakthroughs we anticipate with the Uranus-Mars influence. Or perhaps breakdowns in these areas allow the new understanding to be reached. Either way, the teacup and the saucer are part of a matching set on Wednesday -- and if the tea spills over, we'll be cleaning up for the next two days at least, as Venus forms challenging aspects with Pluto on Thursday and with Uranus on Friday.
Blessings,
Pam
