This week is way on the “feast” side of the spectrum, with all the planets getting involved with something, and lots of transitions between the various alignments indicating swift, sequential events.

The week begins with Jupiter and Mars facing each other across from the sun, indicating hard power in service to the state.  Mars shifts from an alignment with Jupiter to one with Saturn on Tuesday, indicating that that’s the day either that the aforementioned hard-power demonstration ends, or the day that the metaphoric (or possibly literal) axe falls.  In any case, wear a helmet on Tuesday.  Wednesday gives rise to another planetary duo engaging in a Saturn-to-Jupiter shift, this time the Earth and the Moon.  It indicates something very bad will happen at home, but that you’ll have recovered by Friday (or alternatively, someone else will have taken your place by then, but let’s not dwell on that possibility.)  Also on Wednesday, there’s an alignment of Mars – Sol – Mercury, with Venus in opposition.  So in this fight between love and war, or female and male or green v. red (or copper v. iron) the advantage will be on the spear and shield side.
