The summer is beginning to heat up in terms of anger and hostility. As Mars begins to dance with the Sun tempers begin to fly. Events will intensify till they conjunct July 26 at 9 degrees of Cancer. As Cancer rules security and family many aspects concerning these issues will be disturbed.
Early this month seems most difficult as Mars first enters into Gemini aspecting Saturn. Ketu is aspecting Mars. Saturn is debilitated in the navamsha.
At the time of the New Moon June 23 the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars will be in Gemini and the nakshatra Ardra. This represents sadness for the symbol for this nakshatra is a tear drop. Rudra the storm god rules this nakshatra indicating storms and severe weather during this time. The recent terror attack in England concerns problems focusing on terrorism and the many more threats yet to come.
Transiting Saturn will retrograde back into Scorpio June 21 and will hover in the last degrees of Scorpio (Ghandanta). These are the some of the most malefic degrees of the zodiac.
Mercury is traveling at top speed but as it transits in Gemini it is the final dispositor of all the planets with Mars. Travel will be most difficult with the threat of terrorism at its peak. Security will be amped up raising suspicion everywhere.
Mercury is the planet of communications and travel which is the focus. The real issue now is, there is complete and total confusion and isolation concerning the agendas involved in world affairs. No one understands or trusts each other. Investigations fly rampant with political leaders and at the core of all the anger, suspicion, lack of trust is the need to be heard and understood. All means of communication is out of control with seething anger and disrespect. The energetics of the world are becoming angrier and this is mounting as we approach the coming total solar eclipse August 21.
We tend to lose trust and faith when we feel we aren’t heard by others. We must all try to be understanding, and support and validate the feelings of others. Discounting other people’s feelings leads to resentment.
