Love and Pain

The Super Conjunction is about to be broadsided by the Goddess of Love and her consort.
As July opens, Venus will square the conjunction from Taurus to Aquarius. On the 6th, Mars will do the same, and on the 10th Jupiter and Neptune reach exactitude again. This puts our focus on relationships; with all the heat (Mars), attraction (Venus), pain (Chiron) and dreams of escape (Neptune) that relationships entail.

Can't Tell the Players Without a Scorecard

Americans have trouble understanding that what comes up must come down. The collective entity that is the USA has Jupiter (inflation, increase) conjunct the Sun.

Everyone surely realizes, at this point, that what was happening before the housing bubble burst last fall was crazy and fraudulent; yet the media is still talking about “prices returning to normal.” What standard of normalcy are they referring to?

Any readers out there with late Aquarius in your chart? If so, you are personifying The Big Meltdown.

The whole world is melting, as the transits are making clear with tragic-comic literalness. And individuals of an Aquarian bent are embodying this amazing process on a personal level. Therefore Aquarians1 have a particular responsibility to become conscious of what this transit means. Their job is to model the multi-leveled liberation that is its ultimate purpose.

Boom

Mercury, Mars and Venus are now in Taurus. This is the sign that governs things of worth. In the American mind, this archetype translates, simplistically and emphatically, as money.

Meanwhile, Pluto (destruction) is still almost exactlyopposed to the US Venus (values). The country as a collective intelligence is confronting some very ugly truths about its use of resources.
