Aquarius Nation: 07.01.11 Solar Eclipse Planetary Line Up

What a month this is going to be! From the get go we start the month with the sha-bang of a solar eclipse which will also happen to be doing a dance with Pluto, Saturn,Uranus and the Black Moon forming together a Cardinal Grand Cross. Now this planetary alignment is with the slow moving planets so the configuration actually began and has been peculating right along since the last week in June. And the common feeling that these planets are bringing out of us is one of frustration at the slow movement of the growth we want to see happening in our lives. If you feel held back yet needing change, or vacillating between hope and hopelessness, or angst from wanting to move forward yet coming upon closed doors and confusion as to which fork in the road to take, well, then welcome to the energies of the moment!

Now you will probably hear more negative things being said about a Grand Cross, and even the words to describe the configuration could give you that feeling:oppositions and squares. A Grand Cross is when planets are in an opposing each other position, so like during a full moon when they are in the opposite planet and degree, and a square when they are in a 90 degree angle from each other. Now both of these angles, squares and oppositions, just involve us making changes to our game plan. For instance, I like to think of a square as if someone is behind you talking and you have to turn around to hear them to engage in a conversation. It will not kill you, but it is an adjustment on your part. An opposition is when 2 people are coming from different angles and opposing views but ultimately their goal is to come to the middle ground and and balance each others point of view. Once again, it will not kill you, but it is an adjustment that needs to be made. And one of the blessings from these aspects that require us to rethink and make adjustments is that there is a force behind them that is like the strength of an arm pulling back a rubber band and a rock; that force WILL send that rock outward. These aspects carry great forces of destiny and absolute movement. And I'll tell you what, every personal chart reading I have ever done of someone who had T-squares and Grand Crosses is here to do a very big thing this time around. And they just need to hear that there is a reason behind that force and to never look at it as a bad or troubling thing. I think of it as that high vibrational thing: you can tell someone this will give them great difficulty and it inevitably will, or you can tell them the truth, that this is a powerful aspect reinforcing that they put their emphasis in this particular area and never give up on themselves and they will eventually be in a position of power which is their destiny. I have the same T-Square in my chart that Oprah has which is between Mercury, Mars and Pluto. This loosely translates into the force to be communicating in a grand far reaching way that affects mass loads of people and has a transformative quality about it. So using her as an example, would you say that that is a troubling issue for her or would you say that that was a blessing of a gift which brought with it a force that made SURE that she put her efforts in that direction in order to live out her destiny?
