Weekly Hello

Yet another month has flashed by. Is it just me or is time accelerating? Obviously, it’s not, but the pace of life just seems faster. There’s a lot going on. A lot to unpack every day.

I’m not sure it was the best idea in the world to begin my new astrology course on tonight’s full moon, conjunct Neptune, but I had no choice, and so often during my life I’ve discovered that when the cosmos dictates terms, it always works out the way it should. I figure that I am allowed to be an intermediary in other people’s lives when it comes to choosing the best time to marry or to start a business, but as far as me and my work are concerned, I have to hand over to the astrology gods!

No matter how old and experienced you may be, you’re still learning.

The end of September and the opening to October is tough. Pluto is the prime-mover – Mercury square Pluto and Mars opposition Pluto – and to make things even tougher, the Sun is opposing Saturn. Venus is also stationary retrograde. So, we’re in for a week of painful realities and hard choices.

One of the properties of Pluto is that it forces us to create the new out of the ashes of the old. And whether we’re looking at situations in our own life or global events, as old routes run out, figuring out how to thrive and survive becomes the very fabric of a new world. We may not enjoy having aspects of our existence removed, but it’s a necessary evil.

So, my lovely people, gird up your loins and make the most of the challenges. They must make us, not break us.
