This Month: Jupiter quincunx Uranus – Crisis in Confidence
Mars and Uranus, a diabolical duo. When challenged in hard aspect to each other the friction can get so intense it can strike like a match or in the case of the previous few weeks a volcano. In my recent memory there hasn’t been a month like it, with the amount of carnage spewed across the planet, fuelled by so much wrath and rage. What makes people act out so brutally? And why target people indiscriminately with such venom?
Of course I am taking about the atrocities inflicted on the planet over the past few weeks beginning with the machine gun style assault on The Pulse night club in Orlando. This was followed by the Turkey airport bombing as well as their attempted coup. Police being gunned down because of ‘racial attacks’ and an 18-year-old youth opens fire on teenagers in a Munich McDonalds not to mention crowds of revellers being mowed down by a truck on what was supposed to be a night of celebration and joy.
Mars in Scorpio and Uranus in Aries were tied together by quincunx through all of these carnages, Mars stationing direct at one point drilling its anger in like a nail through wood.
The quincunx aspect is one of the most challenging. Something is lodged hard between these 2 planets that needs to be flushed out. It feels stuck, immovable and the force of concentrated energy needed to budge what is blocking it requires a certain amount of controlled might.
This is where the rubber meets the road and any bottled up energy now faces its breaking point. Much like a shaken champagne bottle ready to pop or an earthquake fault stretched to the limit. The stifled anger held in by the perpetrators was now ready to crack and something had to erupt. Aimless Mars / Uranus energy is a loose cannon, firing indiscriminately at anyone in range. This is what we have seen in spades over the past few weeks on a global level.
Bringing this energy down to a more personal level, we ourselves may have found within our daily lives unexpressed anger or frustration culminating in indirect ways. You may have also reflected this back on yourselves. I know I did. Doing my back in, in a fit of frustration when being made to move copious amounts of furniture.
Ok so what about August, well we are not over quincunxes yet. We now have expansive Jupiter coming in to quincunx Uranus (from the Virgo side) pretty much all month peaking mid-month at the partile degree. Jupiter’s naturally all-encompassing self-righteous nature is now challenged by the need for freedom, reform and change.
Protests of all kinds could get even bigger this month. Radicalised energy more noticeable and break throughs or changes in certain laws either constructive or destructive could also be on the cards.
On a more personal level, this quincunx will be subject to the power of your choices. How are you going to use this vibration in your life this month?
Here we see a crisis in confidence with moving forward in life and evolving into the new. There is a certain energy at work here opening up brand new areas or ideas that require a ‘faith in the process’ that you may not naturally have.
The block that needs to be loosened is around the fear change and what you need to do to move past this. You could easily judge yourself and the situation as being folly, weird or just too big. What if I put myself out there and I fail? What if opening up to these new ideas pisses people off. What if I try it and it doesn’t meet my expectations? blah blah blah
You could feel uncomfortable at first and way out of your comfort zone, but that’s a good thing. It sure beats bottling up this energy and having it manifest in random unintended ways.
The trick here is building up a sense of faith and belief in who you are and where you are heading. If you remain pessimistic, doubting, insecure or stubborn the quincunx for the month could erupt unpredictively.
If you can conjure up a stronger sense of faith in life and in yourself the quincunx will begin to lubricate and a breakthrough of sorts or an opportunity to move forward will begin to appear in ways that are much more in line with what you want.
Remember the planets won’t make you do anything. The choice is always in your hands. They will provide the wave for you to ride, how you surf it is up to you.
