The week starts off like last week:  the government having dominon over domestic life (Jupiter – Sun – Earth).  That will break apart later in the week in a way that will be described shortly.  At the end of the week, things get wacky.  Something big happens Friday, Saturday, Friday going into Saturday or possibly both days.  It’s tricky when things happen close together as to whether or not they are separate events or parts of a larger one.  On Friday, Jupiter moves out of alignment with the Sun and Earth at the same time as the Moon moves in opposite the sun.  I’ve mentioned this before but that particular alignment is classically read as having dominion over yourself or home etc.  And since it’s coupled with Jupiter (rulership/government) moving away, in this case it’s a pretty clear sign of taking back control of ones personal affairs from the Royal Edicts.  I’m predicting more businesses either defying or being released from lockdown orders then.  Now the moon moves really flipping fast, so it’s less of an influence than a sign, and as it moves past, we see a new alignment of the Sun with Mercury and Mars.  If this a part of a larger pattern, then it’s en tierce with what we were just discussing.  But I’m thinking it’s not.  So taking it in isolation, we see luck/change/disorder applied to military affairs or masculine pursuits.  If it were part of the previous events then… well, I’m not going to say since I don’t want TPTB getting visits from our good and valued public servants.

It is the dawning of the month of Aquarius, and frankly it’s going to rock.  Maybe not right now, but you’ve got not only the typical Mercury and Venus (though you won’t get that until next week) you get Jupiter and Saturn which while not an unmixed blessing are powerful planets.  So if you’re going to do something big, this is the month to do it.  The good thing for everyone else is that Aquarius is one of those generous signs (like Libra and unlike the arthropodal ones)  where the rest of the sky shares in reflected good luck.  Which is nice because with all the planets piling into Aquarius, the rest of the sky is pretty empty.  And what is there isn’t good.  Mars in Taurus and the moon in Gemini are both generally considered negative, though they can be read by an optimist as exhorting you to make a positive change in your life by staying the course and engaging in difficult, grinding, monotonous work.  And Venus in Capricorn can be a sign of self-discovery, but it can also stand for the rise of a paraphilia which again, not going to talk about.
