2016-07 W34: Forecasts for Week 34 of 2016

Overview

The Full Moon / Lunar eclipse dominates this week, but the Venus / Neptune opposition, Sun trine Uranus, Venus trine Pluto, and Mercury opposite Chiron are also important influences.  Sunday, and the entire weekend preceding this Sunday, is dominated by Venus (Virgo) opposite Neptune (Pisces) which presents people, places, and things in the rosiest light possible.  “Things” are not really as they seem at this time, and Sun biseptile Mars means that some kind of karma is involved, a debt to be paid now or later.  Tuesday we have the annual Sun trine Uranus which brings us surprises and possibly important insights, but Sun quincunx Chiron is unpleasant and Venus joins the Node to make this another karmic day.  Wednesday we might feel the first wakeup call from this past weekend as Venus trines Pluto either making us pay the price for indiscretion or reap the benefit of proper action over the weekend.  The Full Moon, and eclipse, perfects Thursday and everything changes.  Friday is unpleasant with Mercury quincunx Uranus and opposite Chiron.  This is a very Chironic week (the wounded healer is operating, telling us that we can only heal ourselves by teaching others the lessons we have learned).  Saturday brings important insights.

Sunday

We have said it all in several places, but we will say it again: people, places, and things are not as they seem today or this weekend.  With Sun biseptile Mars we have a karmic day, and we recommend anonymous donations to help retired or disabled police and military veterans.  Vesta squares Astraea meaning that traditions and ceremonies may go awry and lead to lawsuits.  Vesta also aspects the North Node, bring even more feeling of karma to this day.  Observe traditions if you must, but do know things may be a bit askew today.

Monday

Today looks very “lunar” EXCEPT Mars Novile Pluto which brings important insights to athletes, police, military, and other similar warriors / martians.  Marvin locates his Space Modulator today.  Depending on whose side you are on, this is either very good or very bad.  These “space modulator” issues of the martians dominate the day.  Moon moves void of course shortly before 10 PM CDT.

Tuesday

Moon moves into Aquarius (and too early to tell for a few hours) near 7 AM CDT today.  For the UK and EU, the morning is consumed by a Capricorn void of course moon.  Those tend to give you what you asked for, but not what you want.  Sun (Leo) trine Uranus (Aries) brings surprises and insights but Sun quincunx Chiron (Pisces) is unpleasant regarding educational or healthcare issues (or both).  If you are Chironic, you might have trouble explaining your situation to someone else in a healthcare or educational setting.  Additionally, the martians are still active.  This could be a rather dangerous day for some people.

Wednesday

If you have not felt the Full Moon / Eclipse that is building just yet, you will almost certainly feel it by today.  Venus (Virgo) trines Pluto (Capricorn) and you have a chance to make an important accomplishment today as long as it is practical.  Dealing with finances, taxes, or anything similar is particularly favored today.  Jim Shawvan identifies an “Opportunity Period” that starts Tuesday morning and continues until the eclipse tomorrow morning near 4:30 AM CDT.  We agree.  This is an important day to “get things done.”  For some people, it is a critically important turning point.

Thursday

In the early morning hours in the Western Hemisphere, and by Noon in the EU / UK, we have both a Full Moon and an Eclipse.  It is an important turning point for some people, particularly air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) and fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius).  Moon moves void of course after perfection of the Lunar Eclipse and remains void until it enters Pisces about 11:30 AM CDT.  Both Pluto and Saturn aspect Black Moon Lilith on this date, and this feels like the kind of Full Moon / Eclipse where you might actually see a werewolf.  Or, maybe you yourself turn into a werewolf.  In any case, some people will “take a walk on the wild side.”

Friday

Mercury opposes Chiron and quincunxes Uranus.  Today feels a bit like some kind of mirror image of Tuesday.  Now, however, some kind of progress might can be made in education or healthcare (or both), but oddball surprises and strange misleading “insights” tempt us to move off course from the direction we should head.  The Piscean moon moves void of course a little past 7 AM CDT and then moves into Aries a little past 2 PM CDT.  During this window “things” can be very messy.  After that, we are in the “too early to tell” window for the moon, so this tends to feel like a day where much may be done, but little is actually accomplished.

Additionally, Saturn quincunx Vesta brings back some issues from this past Sunday, and issues involving our traditions and how we celebrate them arise again.  Pomp and Circumstance may not be particularly strong, now, and we need to stick to the basics and the core of what our traditions are and what they mean to us.

Saturday

Saturday is strong with the Piscean Moon joining Chiron and then opposing first Mercury and then Jupiter.  A little past 7 AM CDT the moon moves void of course until it enters Aries shortly past 2 PM CDT.  Before the Moon moves void, much work  of a Piscean nature can be accomplished and Jim Shawvan includes the void as an “Opportunity Period.”  However, Piscean pursuits tend to be poetry, lyrics, photography, videography, spiritual pursuits, and helping others.

The martians are active again, and this time they are much smarter, much better organized, and much more effective than earlier this week.  Whether or not that is considered favorable depends on where you are in relation to them.

This is a busy day in terms of both lunar and outer planet aspects.  Many will have a breakthrough insight or develop a new skill that provides better health or better access to healthcare.  Others will take a “walk on the wild side,” similar to Thursday.  Again, this is a busy day with much happening.

Details regarding traditions are worked out, but a few pranksters may still have some fun along the way.  Someone, maybe several someones, working in a sexually oriented business will have a windfall today.
