1. Mars quincunx Uranus on the 7th is tremendously amplified by Jupiter octile Uranus on the same day, marking a highly volatile and dangerous phase from the 1st through 11th. During this time, watch out for accidents, irrational behavior, and explosive situations. The world’s hotspots will likely become increasingly tumultuous, while mass demonstrations turn violent and confrontational.
2. The U.S. Ceres is activated all month by transiting Chiron, Saturn, and Pluto, renewing concerns about the job market, entitlement programs, and the growing disparity between the affluent and everyone else. “Women’s issues” enter the political fray, especially concerning equal pay, sexual abuse, the right to be ordained, and reproductive rights. An energized U.S. Ceres in Pisces means working hard to overcome victimization.
3. Venus in fickle Gemini turns retrograde on the 15th, bringing out some of her more annoying qualities through the end of June when she turns direct. Those most influenced by Venus can become unreliable, shallow, and overly talkative. For those stuck in unfulfilling relationships, this phase is a good time to re-think your partnership status and expand your social horizons.
4. Saturn squares the U.S. Mercury on the 12th but is a significant influence all month. This hard-nosed aspect tends to bring out bad news, especially on the business and political fronts. Negative campaigning between two unpopular parties sets the tone, while new assessments of the global economy create a gloomy outlook. Diplomatic envoys bring ultimatums.
5. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 20th squares Neptune, kicking off a month of restlessness, uncertainty, and widespread angst. Set for Washington, the Eclipse chart features Mars at the Midheaven, indicating unsettling developments on the military front and a new round of tough diplomacy, most likely concerning Syria, Iran and/or Afghanistan. Watch out for scandalous behavior, false reports, and deceptive or fraudulent claims.
our collective relationship to the divine shifts away from bearded patriarchs toward recognizing our role as co-creators in global events. It means moving toward a global consciousness, a collective
self-awareness.

The Age of Aquarius is the networking power of decentralization and democracy. Signs of its arrival include the creation of the internet, which is moving us
toward a decentralized,
