Summer 2013
The Express Train to the Unknown Has Left the Station.
You are on the Train.
Astrological aspects for June -August are at the end of this article
Have you felt the energies gearing up over the past 2-3 months? Most people have been busy, busy, busy. Your energy level may have been in overdrive. Something like drinking an entire pot of espresso during the day, then crashing, but having trouble sleeping at night because your mind is still buzzing with activity. That is the dynamic influence of Uranus squaring Pluto. Life is speeding up. Change and transformation are occurring and we are swept up in the flow. As I write this on the afternoon of May 20, 2013, the radical restructuring aspect of Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn is exact. This is only the third in a series of seven exact squares between these two planets from 2012 through 2015.
And it’s about to get even more intense. When Jupiter moves into Cancer on June 25, new developments will begin that are likely to bring existing conditions to a peak of intensity over the summer months. That’s because Jupiter will be in a challenging position to the two radical restructuring planets, Uranus and Pluto. Jupiter brings optimism, growth and expansion. Which means the radical restructuring energies are going to get bigger and more powerful. Unexpected events, surprises, changes, upheavals and crises could occur. Radical Restructuring? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!
However, Jupiter’s expansive energies will also be flowing harmoniously with Saturn in Scorpio (maturity, responsibility) and Neptune in Pisces (creativity, intuition, compassion). In addition to the expanding and challenging radical restructuring energies, we will have flowing and helpful energies at our disposal. Change can happen more easily and faster than usual. Opportunities, openings, breakthroughs, spiritual awakenings and sudden insights can occur. These easier flowing energies started around mid-May and will gain strength this summer, especially in July.
Huge changes often happen when challenges reach their greatest intensity. The radical restructuring energies will force us to deal with something that cannot be ignored. The flowing energies can provide us with the optimism, creativity and spiritual insight to restructure our lives in a positive and healthy way.
July will be the high point of the flowing energies and August will be the month when the most dynamic and challenging activity is likely to occur.
The energies we will experience this summer are part of our Life Path. It is time to do a major restructuring both in the world and in our individual lives. Although this radical restructuring has been going on for a few years and will last for a few more years, the summer of 2013 could easily be one of the most intense periods we will experience.
It is not supposed to be easy. It will not be easy. Radical restructuring is, well…. radical.
USA and World: It may be hard to discern what is really going on at times. Emotions will be surging. People will want fast and assertive action and may act before they have all the facts. Situations that begin in the world and in the USA this summer may not be resolved until May 2014. Information will develop over time and is likely to change. Keep that in mind when you hear and read the news.
Your Individual Life: Where are you already making changes in your life? Those are the areas that are most likely to intensify this summer. You should start to notice this around the end of June or early July. Challenges and opportunities are very likely to arise. Courage and determination will be required. You will need to step out of your comfort zone. Open your heart to the optimistic, intuitive and creative energies that will be flowing around you. Try something new, improve your life and liberate yourself from restricting circumstances and attitudes.
Whether we like it or not, we are living in a time of tremendous change and transformation. If you have been thinking about making some changes, then conditions over the next three months are likely to force you into making a decision. Go for it!
