I just received my latest newsletter from Babula on the state of the planets – change, change change – here is a precis of what is about in the skies …..and to get your own newsletter or find out about any of Babula’s courses see www.newdawnastrology.com.au

“The time has come the walrus said……..

The planet action is really hotting up now, but I’m sure you’ve all noticed! Things are feeling pretty wired, wild and generally all over the place.

The next 2 weeks bring so much change, new energy, change, inspiration, change, new possibilities, change, excitement, change, upheaval and change, we can either spontaneously combust with the thrill of it all or freak out and have a nervous breakdown.

Below are the dates when these energies are exact, but remember, with slow moving planets, the influence is around for a week or two at each event. It’s always significant when slower moving planets change sign, change direction and/or meet each other in aspect. And we have all that happening in bucketloads over this period.

Here’s the lowdown:

May 23:  Jupiter (expansion) opposite Saturn (contraction)

May 28:  Uranus (revolutionary change) into Aries (new beginnings) !!!!  11.44am Brisbane time

May 28:  FULL MOON in Sagittarius  9.07am Brisbane time

May 31:  Saturn (consolidation) goes Direct (forwards)

June 1: Neptune (dreams) goes Retrograde (backwards)

June 4:  Chiron (wounds, healing) goes Retrograde (backwards)

June 6:  Jupiter (search) into Aries (aggression)

June 7:  Mars (warrior) finally leaves Leo (self) and enters Virgo (service)

June 8:  Jupiter (truth) conjunct Uranus (higher consciousness)

I’ve used simple keywords for these themes, but of course there is much that can be said about each one. this is just a snapshot.

The most significant movements are Jupiter (the planet that represents the search for truth and meaning in our life and the urge to grow, explore, travel and expand our horizons, both literally and philosophically), is now catching up to the slower moving Uranus (planet of cataclysmic and seismic changes, revolution, technology and liberation) both about to change sign together.

But it’s not just any sign they are about to enter. Both are currently sitting at 28 and 29 degrees of Pisces respectively, the last degree of the entire 360 degree wheel of the zodiac, and about to boldly go where no man has been before….into the uncharted territory of Aries!

There is a huge energy of change in the air and it’s bringing instability, uncertainty and revolutionary impulses with it. We’ll see it … and are already seeing it … in the streets, in the halls of power, in the lives of ordinary people like us and in our thinking and perceptions.

We can go into panic and fear, but my suggestion is to simply  welcome in the new and keep welcoming it in.  Of course, where 0 degrees Aries is in your personal horoscope will give insight as to the specifics of how this energy will be affecting you and your life.  For many of you. These energies will be directly triggering and activating your chart.

To put this in perspective, Uranus has an 84 year cycle and spends 7 years in each sign, so he was last in Aries back in the 1920’s.  For him to be entering this sign again, accompanied by the giant and benefic Jupiter is a big deal.

Jupiter and Uranus will be travelling together for some months now and what a duo they are. It’s so expansive it can take your breath away. Movement and radical change are guaranteed across the board, so hang onto your hats.

This beautiful quote came in via an email this week and it’s such a wonderful reminder right now…..

The will of god will never take you where the grace of god will not protect you.

An another glorious quote for these times……

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things … they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”   Steve Jobs
