Here is the Astrological overview from the wonderful Sarah Varcas from her Astro-Awakenings.co.uk. It has been helpful to me and perhaps it will also help you too..
“The start of this week sees the heavens dominated by a T Square formed by the Moon, Venus and Mercury in Cancer, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. It indicates the potential for powerful emotions, so we may want to go easy on ourselves and each other! Sensitivities can run high at times like this and the potential for being dragged off down an emotional rabbit hole is fairly strong!”
“However, there is another side to it all. As we experience the on-going dissolution of all that separates one from another this month, we are likely to find that emotions are difficult to assign to anyone in particular. They just seem to be ‘out there’ in the atmosphere, floating around waiting for whoever wants to pluck them out and run with them! It’s difficult to find suitably nuanced words for this process, but essentially it is one of healing. So if we find ourselves overcome with emotion, sensitivity or some other sense impression that seems to come at us from nowhere, we can rest assured that it has arisen to be healed and the best way we can do that is by bringing a gentle and compassionate awareness to it, recognising that it’s not ‘my anger’, ‘my sadness’, ‘my doubt’, it’s just an energetic imprint of those emotions, added to throughout millennia by one person after another after another, as we live out our lives here on earth.”
“This type of fairly impersonal healing is a feature of this month. We’re being granted the opportunity to clear the collective energy field of stale emotion that’s clogging the space. However, because it’s human nature to make even impersonal things personal (!), we may be tempted to claim an emotion for ourselves and create an issue out of it instead. It’s vital to remember this week, that we can choose not to do so. In essence, we now have the chance to experience the pure energy of emotion without the need to attach a story to it and in that way we can focus upon healing and rebalancing above all else.”
“As the week progresses we approach Chiron’s retrograde station in Pisces, occurring on 16th. This begins a five month period during which the difference between a healthy and unhealthy ego structure will become more apparent to us. If we have constructed a personal identity out of past sufferings or current challenges, we will be encouraged to let that identity gradually dissolve in favour of something altogether more life-affirming. We no longer have to ‘wear’ our wound. We can choose, if we wish, to bless it and let it go once and for all time. But this is a deeply personal choice and one which we must make only if and when the time is right for us: when doing so is not an act of denial or avoidance, but of the ultimate acknowledgement that who we are now is completely within our hands to shape and mould as we choose. This realisation itself can be an imposing and scary one, notwithstanding the inspiring potential that it holds for us. Which is why we now have five months to contemplate and then do it, not five minutes, and as this week comes to an end we can begin to do exactly that.”

This fits so perfectly with where I am right now. In fact, my dream last night was about being at an intersection in the dark and trying to cross the road, but unsteady/unsure about trusting the traffic lights because cars kept coming from all directions in spite of the lights.
It is so affirming and nourishing to have the time pressure taken off and think about a gradual process. really liking the way that feels right now too :)

This explains things that I felt, but couldn’t put into thoughts. It’s an understanding of being on the brink of a change and now being more than just semi-conscious about it. I really appreciate her thoughts. I have hope that the next several months will bring about a healthier attitude within myself. This was a life affirming and helpful message.
Thank you.

This totally relates to my experience. I am keenly aware of an enormous amount of grief and want to fill the parched earth with my tears. I’m glad it seems to be a collective phenomenon. Thank you so much for the soulful astrology!

The past few days have felt so “sad” for me and others around me. I didn’t know where it came from and tried to tie to something in our lives but couldn’t . Thank you for your warming guidance.

Thank you! Enormously helpful to understand the intensity and sadness pouring fourth this week. I feel a huge weight lifted in reading your words, as well as what the other readers have shared.
In Gratitude, Dara

Feels good to know that I’m not alone in feeling so inexplicably sad this week. I was thinking my hormones must be out of balance. Thank you for the encouraging words. I came upon this as a result of my friend Dara sharing. Thank you all for sharing.

Two questions:
One, did anyone see in this image the head of Jesus and the crown of thorns?
Two, where are the men on this page? Is it safe here? JWC
