I have been traveling through England for the
last few weeks connecting with many people, and I am finding
a general sense of 'overwhelm'. It isn't as heavy for everyone,
but most people are feeling more pressure than normal, a feeling
of things getting on top of them.
I think we are experiencing the coming together
of Jupiter in Virgo and Pluto in Sagittarius into a square
relationship. It will be exact on 6th/7th August, and then
will fade away again. It seems to be about all the stuff of
the material life not matching the bigger picture, and how
we get strung out between those two perceptions.
The polarity between what we would like and
what we are actually dealing with is always there, but at
the moment it's exaggerated. The effect seems to be that whatever
issues you may be dealing with, your feelings about them tend
to be extreme. So if you are going through hard times, please
know that you are not alone.
Part of the learning can be about our actual
needs. So you might like to write down for instance, the very
least money you can live on, or the most you can achieve in
a specific time - without being too hard on yourself. Make
it practical, just pair it down to the most efficient, and
then see how that works in practise. To use both the Jupiter
and Pluto to the best advantage, you need to see these times
as both experimental and growthful.
If we think of the Zodiac signs as guidance
for living, they will work for us in spite of being square
to each other, so that the best of Virgo and Sagittarius work
together. It is as though Jupiter is throwing more and more
information and detail at us so that we will realise it is
impossible to deal with it all. The solution is to select
what is useful and just blow the rest away (delete the spam
e-mails without wasting energy getting cross!)
Sagittarius is showing us the adventure of aiming
high for what we want, our enthusiasm helping to create far
more than we would have thought possible. It is from this
perspective that we need to chose our aim, and then we can
select what needs doing to promote that aim. Much of the rest
can safely be ignored, or at least stored for later thought
when there is less pressure.
Keep calm and hang in there, and by mid-August
you might have found a different, and much more efficient,
way of doing things!
Love, Margaret
