A Cosmic Red Flag Alert: Now is a Perfect Time
Prepare Yourself to Effectively Navigate Coming Cosmic Challenges
Have you recently been feeling a sense of free-floating anxiety? At times when people observe that many people seem to be nervously on edge they ask me, “What is going on in the stars?” Well now, be assured that if you are feeling like asking this question now – you are on target. This week there are quite literally star-studded events that are upsetting and are stirring up our minds and emotions.
Beautiful Venus and Ugly Medusa are Featured in The Cosmic Mojo of this Week
On Friday fast moving Venus, the planet of love, after traveling through the heavens this last week and gracing us with many nice influences, will be briefly positioned on 7/15/24 to be directly opposite Pluto, the planet of power. An “opposition,” as this dynamic is called, is a challenging energy. Nanette Saylor, my esteemed partner in offering our series of seasonal High VIBE Mastery sessions, teaches and advocates for living attuned to the phrase, “No matter what the question…Love is the answer.” Given the cosmic representatives of Love and Power are now in a power struggle this could be a helpful and calming bit of advice for this coming week.
To further understand what’s going on with the stars I invite you to turn to Greek mythology. You may be familiar with Medusa, a demonic character with a head full of snakes instead of hair. The mythic story goes that she fancied herself to be more beautiful than the Goddess Athena. As a consequence of her willful attempt to outshine the Goddess she was transformed by the irritated Athena into a monster. Upon undergoing this transformation if an observer dared to even so much as look at Medusa’s head the person was turned to stone. Algol, the fixed star associated with her head is labelled the most notorious star in our night sky.Medusa can rightly be described as a cringe-worthy archetype of a quintessential fear inducing creature. The upsetting cosmic news of this week is that Medusa has been active in our cosmic sphere recently.
On July 15 Uranus (revolution), Mars (war and conflict) and Algol, experience an exact joining of forces in the sign of Taurus. The impact of their negative influence may have been felt before and is guaranteed to be felt after the exact date on the 15th. On Youtube numerous prominent mundane astrologers (practitioners who study and comment on world events) are making note of this configuration. Some are predicting earthquakes others, previously believing that Trump would be sentenced on the 12th of July, were predicting violence. Interestingly enough, concerning this latter speculation, true to form of nature of Uranus’ influence being unanticipated surprises, Trump’s sentencing has been delayed until September.
The Perils of Focusing Attention on Demons and a Calming Antidote
Fear can be an all-consuming, show stopping, and a disruption to the soul. When we are provoked by a perceived cringe worthy demonic influence we are vulnerable. Our power is at risk of being taken away from us. Being disempowered can be comparable to being “turned to stone” as in being rendered unable to act in one’s own best interests. An effective antidote to being disempowered is to engage in an uplifting self-care practice.
