subject: Absolutely Psychic Network - Astro Analysis Profile Part 23 [print this page] When Saturn interacts with Uranus, avalanche is the ruling metaphor.
"Stuck" situations can only stay stuck for so long; sooner or later,
when enough water builds up behind the logjam, something's got to
give. Expect explosive developments, and prepare for them in two
ways. The first: through dispassionate analysis you can anticipate
eventualities and have some tactics for damage-control in place. The
second: through imaginative forethought you can recognize some
exciting emerging possibilities and be ready to seize them.
The two factors, as we mentioned, are linked by a sextile --
traditionally seen as a "harmonious" or "mutually enhancing" aspect,
often full of fast-paced events and emotional stimulation.
THE DETAILS
In the mood for Mardi Gras? If you live in Chicago, it helps to know
that New Orleans lies to the south. Head west or east and you'll
never arrive. But you'd better know some details about the route and
how to navigate it, too...little points, such as a red light means
Stop and a flashing blue light behind you indicates serious
problems.
What we've done in the previous pages is to show you the direction
of New Orleans. We've looked, in other words, at the big
astrological themes that are affecting you during this period. But
these big themes are colored and shaped by minor astrological events
that occur with them. The Details that follow scrutinize the road
you are traveling inch by inch and mile by mile.
We ask you to be a little creative as you read. The events listed in
The Details, when followed by keywords, are designed to seed your
imagination in understanding the "details" of the big astrological
picture covered in The Invitation and The Means. Special emphasis is
given to the transiting Moon and the transits of any planet to
First, Fourth, Seventh, or Tenth House cusps in your chart.
As a reminder, at the beginning of our analysis of each month's
events we'll make reference to any major configurations covered
previously which happen to be reaching peaks of intensity then.
There won't be any more analysis; just an allusion to the events, so
you can go back and review the earlier material in order to see the
patterns of the month in the light of the heavier transits and
progressions.
One more brief reminder: remember that many astrological events have
not one but several peaks of intensity, so you may find a given
"Invitation" or "Means" coming up several times in the pages that
follow.
Even minor astrological events commonly have an impact over several
days. In the following month-by-month analysis, configurations are
listed chronologically according to the days they "peak" -- but
don't take that date too narrowly. The most colorful events and
profoundest realizations might easily occur a day or two later or
earlier.
Feb 02 - Tr. Mars is conjunct Ascendant
Mars, the God of War, is transiting through sensitive territories
for you, suggesting some turbulent waters to be navigated. Always
the trick with the red planet lies in realizing that the time has
come to overcome a fear or a resistance in yourself, and to take
what is legitimately yours. Your blood is up, and that's not a bad
thing, unless you "chicken out" and misdirect the Martian energy
toward some inappropriate target.
Mars arrives at a conjunction with your Ascendent on February 2,
2011, and that always suggests a colorful, active few days. A new
cycle of experience is beginning for you. It's not earth-shaking in
its implications, but you'll be happier if you act positively in the
spirit of Mars. The ball is in your court. Decisive action,
imprudent action, or inaction on your part now will have long-term
effects, just as the experiences of childhood leave their mark on
the adult character. Don't be afraid of a little apparent
selfishness now. There are seasons of giving and seasons of taking;
this one is for taking.
Feb 02 - Tr. Sun is conjunct Ascendant
The transiting Sun is like a huge, dumb battery. Whatever it
touches, it electrifies -- but never for very long or very deeply.
That's simply because it's a fast-moving factor, never staying
anywhere long enough to develop true depth or complexity of meaning.
In a year, it circuits the chart once...which leaves it only a few
days to spend in each of your chart's many sensitive zones. Whatever
it touches, however, is temporarily pushed into action. And
sometimes, if more serious astro-psychological energies have been
building or brewing in that area of your life, the Sun's transit
over that point might just be the trigger that sets big wheels
turning. The critical point is that the Sun represents your ego, and
when it collides with sensitive territories you need to act
accordingly: not "egocentrically," but with an awareness of your
