Heads Up From Elsa P: January 3, 2013 - Heat, Pressure and Self Control
Published: Thu, 01/03/13
Thursday is tense! Mercury, in the cautious sign
of Capricorn, squares Uranus in Aries which is given to impulsive or
even reckless action. You may get unexpected (Uranus) news (Mercury)
that burdens (Capricorn) you, or you may deliver such news.
Mercury-ruled Gemini and Virgo are liable to be particularly agitated. See Transit Watch for more info.
By Thursday evening the Moon gets involved with Mercury and Uranus,
as well as Pluto. Expect emotional upheaval and communication may be
heated or completely cut off. People will be reactive, so anyone who
exercises some control of themselves will have a big advantage; never
mind periods like this can often pass without incident if you keep a cool
head.
Friday is still pressured, into Saturday morning as the moon in
Libra squares planets in Capricorn. That aspect will clear later in the
day, but we have some other things to watch that are deep, dark and
potentially depressing.
Sunday, Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. Think in terms of
consolidation but you're likely to see contraction rather than
expansion. Sometimes less is more, so let's hope that is the case.
The Moon in Scorpio conjuncts Saturn Sunday night into Monday,
which may very mark a 30-day emotional low. Mars in Aquarius squaring Saturn is not going help matters. You can have a drive for freedom (Mars
in Aquarius) and hit a wall (Saturn).
Tuesday, the Moon in Sagittarius contacts Jupiter. This is the last
day Venus is in Sagittarius so this is the day you can probably see the
big picture and put things in perspective.
Wednesday, we still have the Moon in Sadge to keep us feeling okay.
However, Venus enters Capricorn joining the Sun, Mercury and Pluto in
the sign. That's a lot of reality in your face, more than most people
like.
It's rough week, but here's your cheat sheet: Work hard to avoid
becoming embittered. If you have something to grind out, now is the
time. Also, this is just one week of many and it will pass!
If you want to talk about these issues or anything else, please schedule a phone appointment or contact me for an email consult.
Thanks and best wishes for a great week,
Elsa P
