Starcodes this week - Heather Roan Robbins

[WhiteTara]

Summer officially begins as the Sun enters Cancer on June 21, the shortest night of the year up here in the northern hemisphere. And as it does, it rings off major aspects though all the outer planets, striking a chord in the astro-sphere. We may get a change of scene, but not a lack of work

Some long standing conundrum intensifies this week and comes to a head next week; we look at death and other endings in the middle of the blossoming life of summer as the Sun forms a grand square with Uranus, Saturn and Pluto. An old pattern of authority or security that we formerly took for granted is now challenged either by wild circumstances, by our insistent questioning, or both. We can certainly see this pattern resounding in the Gulf Oil Crisis which will shake up the present systems to their core, but look for a local version as well in the family dynamics, at work or in the community. This pattern can also happen on a material level and require us to rebuild a structure, or help us notice pain in our own structure, our bones, back or teeth. We’d like to kick back for the summer, but this square asks us how we can use what power we have to make the situation better. It isn’t a rhetorical question.

We could take the weaker side of Neptune and try to escape or play the martyr. But this would just leave us dis-empowered, pouty and dancing harder to distract ourselves. And fatalism is just a cheap cop-out.

Or we can take the stronger side of Saturn and Neptune. First identify the problem and then take responsibility. Be generous with honest empathy and apologies. Then use our intuition, spirituality and imagination to dream our options, and act deliberately.

If we accept responsibility, we grow up and strengthen. That frees up the energy and catalyses change. Although this can feel paradoxical, we need to deal with the restrictions and responsibility first, and that creates the conditions to open up and free ourselves, and in the process, transform the situation and deepen our relations as Pluto resonates next week.
