Managing or controlling the known is hard enough and when it comes to the unknown, well, it’s darn near impossible. Astrologically, that is up big time this month. Allow me to explain…
Saturn is the planet that rules our plans and agendas. It can have us thinking that we know what is coming based on a particular action 
one takes. And sometimes, this is, in fact, the way it works out. And sometimes, it just isn’t. Our plans and agendas get way laid by the unknown. This impact may range from a pesky diversion to an out right major event that changes everything we thought we had “under control”.
And this month, there are two aspects impacting Saturn’s agendas:
Uranus is opposing Saturn all month and Neptune is quincunx it. Either can impact our plans in ways that change our course, but both acting on Saturn, all month long, well, the least I can say is expect the unexpected.
This doesn’t mean all is for naught regarding your current focus and itineraries. It just means they may change, and in very unexpected ways.
The quincunx (a 150 degree angle) is especially quirky. It asks you to make sure you are checking the “blind spots” in your rear view mirror. Those things you may not see but sure enough, are there. Don’t assume you know it’s clear until you turn around and double check. Look in unexpected places for issues. Check those things that you are assuming won’t be problematic, such as travel or meeting plans, or directions.
And for sure, trust your gut and use your intuition. If something feels off or not quite right, well, maybe it isn’t. Logic and reason aren’t quite as reliable now.
The Oil Spill
On another note, Neptune rules both oil and the the ocean. And the way it is interacting with Saturn these days, it was no surprize to me that it happened in the first place and also, it doesn’t look too good for it to get under control (Saturn’s domain) anytime soon. Things have a way of spreading under this type of a Neptune influence. Further, this event may influence things far beyond the actual spill.
I also would expect the weather patterns, which have already been strange of late, to continue to be so. An early hurricane? Unusual lightening storms? More tornadoes? All possible.
So how do we handle such bizarre energies? Here are some ideas:
- As I mention above, trust your intuition. Watch your dreams. Pay attention to the symbols appearing now.
- Also, to check and re-check plans–especially those you think you have “under control”.
- Further, trust the Universe. If something you thought was going to happen changes mid-stream, consider the possibility that it may be a “God has something better in mind for you” kind of thing.
- Few things from different perspectives. These are great energies for doing this, revealing things that will, in the end, help you.
- Don’t rush into the unknown without first asking for inner guidance.
- Do reality checks often. Is this for real? Is this the best course to take now? Is there a better way? All good questions to keep at hand now.
The Mystical and the Magical is a foot
One other thing to keep in mind is that these are, in some ways, very mystical energies. They originate in the void, in the mystery. So we can’t really know what they about, or up to. Allowing this as part of your “reality”, this unknown and mysterious influence, is advised. It requires Faith, and Trusting your place in the Universe, but that’s all good. Isn’t it?
