STARCODES for the week of
April 17, 2009
by Heather Roan Robbins
It’s spring, so we expect the weather to fluctuate hot and cold, winds to bluster and sun shine, but this week our emotional landscape can do the same. The week begins sensitive and high-strung, picks up heart-wind velocity midweek, and moves into decisive action by the end.
As the weekend begins, the spring breezes and planetary action beckon us out of our familiar lair and call us to fresh colors and new faces. Emotions can vibrate like a hummingbird’s wing; forget logic, our feelings are running the show as Venus and Mars conjunct in20sensitive Pisces, right near iconoclastic, unexpected Uranus. We may bravely explore some new emotional terrain or feel as swamped as the spring-flooded landscape. We can be easily hurt but don’t feel like playing it safe, we’re all too aware of the fragility of life, and this can make each blossom, each note of bird song, precious.
With this emotional and creative mobility, we may brim over with ideas to change the environment, our wardrobe, out work. New technology can noticeably changes the landscape. A crush can hit suddenly, but may be on an inconvenient person or in inconvenient circumstances and ongoing relationships need fresh eyes and fresh new laughter.
This emotional reactivity can introduce an element of the bizarre or random into the world’s political situation. While this emotional mobility can be serendipitous or turn a tense situation quickly south as emotions and egos bounce off one another and build momentum. If any of us find ourselves in a reactive scenario, whether at a bar or in a boardroom, it helps to bring in our antennae and turn that sensitivity to feel the earth underneath us and de-escalate. Hopefully, Mercury in earthy Taurus can loan us a lyrical stability to turn the tide.
This emotional volatility also has a strongly creative edge. It’s time to make practical design decisions to update our approach, although no one will take orders well but many are willing to try a new approach. Our interpersonal awareness flickers between sensitivities and obliviousness, awareness and distractions as Venus, Mars and Uranus conjunct in sensitive and creative Pisces, but a moment alone can help us re-center and focus. Let’s not lose out on the opportunities dancing around the edge
Early next week the Sun enters earthy Taurus and Mars enters feisty Aries just as the Moon enters sensitive Pisces, which brings deeper oomph in our soul, if more sensitivity on the outside. Relationships are high maintenance, don’t even try to do everything right; keep speaking to the connection underneath. Insecurities may feel silly but can really trip us up unless we find a way to celebrate our sensitivities.
