Ralfee Finn's Weekly Astrological Forecast from May 23-29, 2012

I have been personally inundated with people who are feeling the energetic pinch and I have noticed that for a long time now (2008 through May 2012) that I have tried to pick my words carefully for clients and people who read my newsletter and website. It is interesting to me that the closer we are getting to this Uranus/Pluto Square people are becoming more and more reactive and agitated by words and projections of others. I believe this is partially due to the very reactive state of affairs in which the world is in right now.

In general, I attempt in my own limited way to be a voice of balance and honor for all sides and ways of perceiving. At this time in history it is tricky to do because people are so on an edge that the slightest trigger is creating heightened reactions from others. It is as if we are bumping into our old reactive self and we now have an opportunity to do something different if at all possible.

When it is happening to me, I try to take a look at the opposing side and attempt to view from their lens of reality. It is often very interesting. Perception is a very unique and personal thing. Each person is attempting to express a reality, desire, or intent that is very positive. What becomes the challenge is when something comes across not in the way, mood, or energy that was intended. This is the moment in which we find ourselves.

I think it is partially because of the Venus retrograde in Gemini. It creates a negative, bitchy, volatile energy that is difficult to negotiate. After all when the Goddess of Love is going backwards let us just say that she is not in the best mood. Any women will tell you that when the Goddess is not happy then no one is happy! Ha!

Venus retrograde was seen as a harbinger of war in both Babylonian and Meso-American Astrology. The Trojan war was also fought over love. So everyone take a breath and learn to have patience with all those that you love and that love you. It is about learning how to not react but to observe your own inner reactions and learn to respond properly and with love and compassion when such energies are heightened and place all of us under such strain. Love yourself enough to practice patience with everyone. You will be greatly rewarded when Venus goes direct the end of June.

Uranus/Pluto Square: Part One
This week – and for many, many weeks to come – the planets remind us that history actually does repeat itself. But don’t confuse this cosmic repetition with the ongoing retrograde review of recent personal relationships patterns; that retrospective continues for another few weeks, and then recedes. The deeper repetitive pattern we’re in is part of a much older cycle, a cycle whose signature is rebellion and revolution, turmoil and disruption, and if we’re willing to learn from history, then it will be a cycle that provides a much deeper way of understanding our human situation. It’s a celestial dimension that adds new meaning to the cliché about living in “interesting times”: We’ve just entered a three-year cycle of seven exact squares between Uranus and Pluto that are certain to accelerate the already rapid pace of personal and collective transformation.

Astrology sees interactions among all the outer planets – Jupiter to Pluto – as repetitive patterns that make it possible to recognize specific collective cultural trends. From that perspective, all Uranus/Pluto interactions signify intense processes of change and revolution. Uranus represents a catalyzing force that disrupts the status quo. Pluto represents the principle of death and eventual rebirth. And when they interact, their combined presence manifests as dynamic and dramatic chain reactions that engender shifts in attitudes and action. The movements for civil rights, gender rights, and workers’ rights can all be identified as manifestations of Uranus/Pluto contacts.

The current series of squares began with a Uranus/Pluto conjunction that occurred from 1965 through 1966. The beginning of a cycle sets the tone for what will follow. The Sixties were a time of disruptive upheaval, as a deep desire for freedom moved many to search for new, creative answers to the same disturbing circumstances that always tend to mire us in the worst of what it means to be human: The need to exploit others on the basis of race, gender, religion, and economics. The violence of this exploitation can be seen as desperate attempts to assuage our existential anxiety by creating the illusion of safety through the delusion of superiority.

The first square takes place on June 24. On June 6, 1966, in Cape Town, South Africa, Bobby Kennedy delivered a Day of Affirmation Speech to the National Union of South African Students, in which he referenced the notion of living in “interesting times” and what is required of those who do. He calls those interesting times – nearly fifty years ago -- times of “danger and uncertainty” but also times that are “more open to creative energy” than “any other time in history.”

His words still ring true.

Many cultural paradigms shifted during the Sixties, but the crucial issues remain the same today. And because they do, the next several years of Uranus/Pluto squares are sure to inspire the movements for social justice. Those movements will reflect the current cultural syntax, but they will also express the same concerns about the well being of our fellow humans. If you haven’t already, now would be a good time to contemplate how you want to respond to the challenge of those concerns. Remember: Our collective reality is created by our combined individual efforts.

If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that, too.

Aries
March 21-April 19  
Create greater strength, internal as well as external, by reaffirming your commitment to integrating your deepest values. Sounds like a no-brainer, but walking your talk always requires effort.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
The secret is learning how to visualize the outcome without falling into the traps of negative thinking or fantasy. Focus your efforts on what will ultimately be the most soul-satisfying picture of reality.

Gemini
May 21-June 21 
You’ve changed, and there is no reason to doubt your process, so take your time emerging from your cocoon and simply enjoy flexing your new, beautiful wings.

Cancer
June 22-July 22 
Choose your partners wisely, because no matter what the surface focus may be, the underlying context is all about your alliances, personal as well as professional.

Leo
July 23-August 22
Rather than becoming confused by mixed messages, deepen your commitment to keeping your own counsel. I’m not suggesting you ignore the opinion of others; I’m simply advising you to listen to your heart.

Virgo
August 23-September 22 
Instead of squandering your energy on insignificant matters, save your efforts for important endeavors. Yes, the details contribute to the overall situation, but it’s the big picture that determines the outcome.

Libra
September 23-October 22
You’re still in a deep process of revolutionizing your relationships – all of them, including how you relate to yourself. Once again, pay attention to what you need in order to feel safe and secure from the inside out.
         
Scorpio October 23-November 21
Yes…you are uncomfortable, but only because you’re in training, preparing for deeper, more consistent daily interactions with friends and family. Embracing intimacy is often a lot easier than resisting it.

Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Move into your creative energy and be bold, innovative, and confident in your choices. Not every idea will fly, but you’ll gain solid, tangible momentum that will boost your enthusiasm and soothe your anxiety.

Capricorn
December 22-January 19
You’re not in danger; you’re in process. And as the bottom of your psychic pond continues to be disturbed, the more opportunities you will have to see what lies beneath the surface of predictable interactions.

Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Consider it a challenge of imagination: Can you allow yourself to envision the necessary next steps without the fear of doing or saying the wrong thing? This may sound easy, but it will require increased awareness and skill.

Pisces
February 19-March 20
It’s all about attitude: If you embrace your responsibilities, they won’t feel so burdensome. If you’re willing to speak the truth about what you need, you’ll find it much easier to release your anxiety about being left out.
