“Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction.” St. Teresa of Avila

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Universe seems to be suggesting some delectable mingling or intimacy this weekend, providing us with an idealistic, romantic Libra Moon all Friday and into Saturday.  The Moon will also conjoin lovable Venus (4:59 am EDT Friday) and desire-laden Mars (9:22 am EDT Friday).

The Moon also enters intense Scorpio on Saturday evening (8:27 pm EDT) with the Moon throwing a sextile to passionate Pluto (1:37 am EDT Sunday).

In the News:

Federal Judge Vaughn R. Walker, on Thursday, lifted his stay on the same-sex marriages ban, paving the way for gay couples in California to marry in that state. Walker delayed, however, implementation of his order to lift the ban until August 18th.

Walker’s ruling a week ago, that a voter-approved ban on same sex marriage was unconstitutional, was rendered with pioneering Mars in matrimonial Libra exactly squaring off with transformational Pluto in governmental Capricorn. Mars-Pluto can be indicative of someone “seizing power” or taking “forceful action.”  It is also a classic “war aspect” replete with power clashes and clashes of will. There is strong opposition to Judge Walker’s ruling.

Also, “Status Quo Preserver” Saturn in nuptials Libra was opposite Uranus in Aries when Walker ruled last week.  Uranus is associated with equality and gay rights issues and also represents change itself. With the Saturn and Uranus opposition, once again, we had the pitting of the old versus the new, with the new winning out this time, perhaps also because of the simultaneously strong Mars-Pluto aspect which often tends to bulldoze or topple existing structures and protocol.
