In an astrological sense, finally things are likely to settle down in September 2014. From January 2014 to July 2014 the cardinal cross formed by Uranus, Jupiter, Mars and Pluto held sway and during August the conjunction of the malefic planets of Mars and Saturn disturbed us.
The month of July will adversely affect everybody’s financial assets; and we may also expect a number of companies, banks and major world institutions to succumb to their difficulties during this period.
The general trend of further economic instability will continue during the month of August, when the aspect of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will all be present in Leo. We will also have to deal with the fall out from the disharmonious relationship that arises from the presence of Mars and Saturn in Scorpio.
It is unfortunate, but the chaotic situation of military threats and dangers in Ukraine, in North Korea and in the Middle East is likely to persist and continue past April and well into May, at the very least.
This coming month of April we may be about to mark the end an era and the beginning of a new one. Only several months from now, when we look back to these times, may we have the historical perspective needed to understand what really went on, and what the new times are we will then be facing.
Mars in Libra begins to withdraw on March 1st, which will continue until May 20th. This aggressive, or belligerent, aspect can stretch relations between countries to the limit at their borders. This may lead to war – hot or cold – but certainly evokes serious concerns.
If you thought January was a dramatic month February intensifies the experience.
Economic difficulties continue in the workplace in the US and with President Obama’s recovery program. However, people who stand up for themselves, and their principles, will do better.
The year 2014 begins with the withdrawal of Venus in Capricorn, which emphasizes the evidence of poverty in the world.
On December 21, Venus in Capricorn begins to retreat. This retreat will end on January 31, 2014.
Venus in Capricorn symbolizes poverty, and reductions relating to material wealth.
Mercury’s retrograde, who began on October 21, will continue until November 11, with its effects lingering on for four more days, to November 15. This means more potential failures, economic disruption, the breakdown of mechanical and other devices and instruments, all types of accidents, possible loss, forgetfulness, misinformation, faulty supposition, and more. Count your change carefully!
