I’m pasting some very good information about what is going on in your life right now and in the world. Saturn square Pluto is a tough aspect! You can see that major changes need to occur in your life but it is difficult for that to happen. R. Hand describes this, “…your ambition for your work may be frustrated. Bosses or coworkers may try to prevent you from accomplishing what you want. Financially, you will probably have to curb expenses. Sometimes the experiences of this transit is much like struggling against chains that hold you down.”
Well, the Borg’s told us that “resistance is futile” and so it is at this time. There will be many obstacles to overcome during this time because this is a time to eliminate the unnecessary in your life. Pluto rules breakdown and regeneration. If you work with this it will turn out positively, if not, quite negative. You will be a lot stronger when this transit is passed.
…….”From a practical, “real world” angle, these multiple “expansion through sacrifice” energies have triggered some very “hard adjustments” and forced some major shifts in whatever life areas they influence. Let’s take a look at just a few things that have been going on during this time of interlocking Yods.
First, the Vancouver Olympics with their equipment malfunctions, weather issues, ticket cancellations, and safety problems. They began with the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili last Friday, forcing a rearranging of the luge course to slow things down. Then the games began with one of the columns of the Olympic flame not rising as it should.
The weather has totally messed up the Alpine schedule, wiping out the first two races on the opening weekend of the games as well as a bunch of training runs necessary in order to hold actual races. This is because Cypress Mountain, site of freestyle skiing and snowboarding, has not had enough snow.
Organizers covered the course with hay bales and dumped snow on top, but heavy rains washed much of it away. Organizers then canceled tickets for all snowboard events — men’s and women’s snowboard cross, halfpipe and parallel giant slaloms. That’s six events with no spectators lining the course, a total of 28,000 tickets requiring refunds of $1.5 million.
The reason? The snow washed away to the point where people were sinking up to their knees, and in some case even deeper, putting many spectators in very unsafe conditions.
Fans can’t get into events for which they bought tickets, and can’t even see the Olympic cauldron since it’s a restricted area, creating mass discontent. Athletes are competing in less than stellar conditions — Tuesday’s snowboard cross competition was a fall-riddled nightmare, and the speedskaters were less than pleased to be kept waiting to compete Monday night because of a malfunctioning ice-resurfacing machine. Or, like the Alpine skiers, they aren’t competing at all, or even getting in training runs.
I couldn’t help but note while viewing the couples figure skating competitions that I’ve never seen so many falls in any Olympics I’ve ever viewed. The judges were actually awarding high marks even when one or both skaters fell in any number of ways. I believe it’s because skaters are always pushing to exceed the old standards, and some jumps they’re attempting are almost impossible anyway. It’s easy to see how some adjustments might be in order just to keep from falling on their bums. The judges sure had to adjust their standards relative to past Olympics!
Besides the Olympic mess, there have been other major events going on as well. There is the seemingly never-ending stream of bad news for Toyota, with multiple brand recalls for a fairly large spectrum of problems. We’ve also seen many announcements of retirements from the US Congress including an unexpected death due to complications from surgery. (Update: There are 45 so far, one of the largest waves of retirements in history!)
The Taliban’s number 2 guy has been captured along with several Taliban “Shadow Governors,” the Ukranian election results have been suspended amid allegations of fraud, and in a very bizarre turn, an Alabama college professor went berserk and killed several colleagues. Upon further investigation, it has been found she killed her brother years ago in very peculiar circumstances, and was even a suspect in a bomb plot at another university a while back!
I’m sure there are more events that are indicative of Saturn square Pluto with multiple interlocking quincunx energies, but these are the ones that have happened so far that I know of. Oh yes, and one of my favorite poets died, Lucille Clifton.
It would seem that the times are truly a wild ride, with more to come once Mars goes direct!”
