Are the planets in an uproar?

[Mojorabbit]

Can any one help me out? I swear, I have never had so many calls from people in distress as I have in the past few days. Personal crisis calls where the person has blown the problem up into monstrous proportions or else is not coping. I am becoming drained even with my best shields up!
Thanks!

1. This is so strange, I just got the same kind of call, exactly as you

describe, from a neighbor.... something must be up...

2. Sort of, not uproar

but active. There's a lot of Aries Point activity, powerful point. Venus just moved over it, North node moving to it. Venus will be hitting March eclipse point soon, activating that energy.
We have Jupiter, Uranus, Mars in Grand Trine in water signs with the earthy Sun opposite Jupiter forming a kite, making the trine energy more powerful.
Beltane just passed yesterday.

It's a strong energy time. Not the same as bad. Outworking of issues?

3. Thanks!

That is exactly what I was telling my sis today. Everyones issues are welling up for some reason. Things that had been tamped down resurfacing, bubbling to the surface. And now that I think of it. Look at the news today. Lots bubbling up this past week. Hmmm. Thanks again.

4. That is exactly what I'm experiencing, too n/t

5. I agree, in my circles people seem to be dealing with stuff

that in my view was inevitable that it would rise up and demand confrontation.

6. OMG It's been an awful week!

Personally, I've had one raging crap week including almost leaving DU yesterday.... and all my friends are having weird stuff happening to them and have been calling me for a reading. I REFUSE to read until whatever this energy is goes away.

I agree with the poster who said outworking of issues. That seems to be the theme.

7. Please don't leave DU, KyndCulture. We need you!

I still remember the amazing things that you did to support Cindy Sheehan's vigil in Crawford, TX, last August.

:hug:

8. Thank you! so much.

I am just being tested with ugly people right now. I can do this. My heart is very heavy today and it's hard.

9. When it gets bad, come here. This forum is like a balm to the...

wounded spirit, at least for me.

:grouphug:

[KyndCulture]

12. Isn't that the truth...

there are puddles of goodness here.... when the waves of ugly get you.

[Grateful for Hope]

11. Here is yet another forum

filled with warm and caring people (like the Pet Group). I sure hope you decide to stay, KyndCulture.

13. I ain't gonna give those bastards the satisfaction of me leaving.

I'm staying put.

17. Great to hear!

14. What brought to mind

"outworking of issues" is that this grand trine is in in Water signs, emotions...with Jupiter making them expansive, bigger than life, Uranus giving them a sense of suddenness, urgency (lightning strikes) and Mars a need to act, some aggressiveness and being in Cancer, some fearfulness.

It just looks like...extremes, emotional escalation. (Mars is on the USA Sun so it is right in the whole trine energy.)

Then with all the Aries energy going on that brings more of the sense of the need for action, need to assert...to move on it.

"Weird stuff" is a good term for what Uranus would bring expanded by that big old Jupiter. Water takes the path of least resistance.

I don't mean to make it all sound bad, it's just strong but with Mars in the mix it can feel more fearful/aggressive than it needs to.

After I wrote yesterday I thought there must be a lot of writing about this trine now so I went to google to look. There is a lot but the first pages all talked about the wonderful trine energy. I thought "wtf"? Trine doesn't mean easy as in everything is so loverly, it just means easy as in nothing restricts the flow. Jupiter is the greater Benefic but it doesn't make all things wonderful, it makes whatever it touches BIGGER.

I am not a real astrologer and I assume those who write things on the web are but I still think they're missing the point of how this aspect will feel. Nothing against grand Trines, I have two, but I don't know why the sites I saw made this Trine like a happy fairy tale.

I do believe it is working for our good, but it feels strong, feels out of our control as the energy flows so quickly.

Venus will reach the Aries March eclipse point on the 10th or 11th. That doesn't relate to the trine...but it is going to trigger the eclipse energy. I'm always impressed by a total eclipse so close to the equinox, though it wasn't total here.

The eclipse was part of the 8N saros series and per Brady indicates "Inventiveness and flashes of genius are the hallmark of this Saros Series. The individual will have intuitive leaps, insights good ideas, visions or vivid dreams."

So my gut tells me (and we know through Colbert that is what counts!) that it might be where some of the current trine energy comes to fruition. Uranus is all about intuition, especially combined with Jupiter describes the genius, intuition and insights. Mars in water makes an intuitive leap as good or better than a physical one.

In the meantime no one is a victim of the trine energy.
It sounds like a lot of people are getting over-excited by it, letting energy throw them instead of flow through them. It is strong but we...need to gentle into it as much as we can, breathe deep, make a conscious choice to be willing to use it to evolve, take it in from our center and let it be the peace that is energized.

Does that sound true? Of course I need to take my own advice. I hate that.

18. I have been refusing readings too

I am not even going to try to read for anyone with this stuff going on. I cannot think that anyone I read for will get anything accurate as I will be picking up on all this chaotic energy.

[hippiechick]

10. Funny! I'm not dealing w/ other folks' crap -- I've got my own!

Horribly depressed and frustrated at things that I know I shouldn't get my knickers in a twist over ... things I can (or should) do little about ... things that are out of my realm to try to control (like an eternally pending promotion at work which is holding up my qualifying for a mortgage, and the house I want is slipping away from me) ... and yet I'm just PISSED and alternate between being on the verge of tears and 'aw, fuck this shit' or going for broke and telling all the parties involved just EXACTLY what I think.

FWIW, here's my chart. Not sure if anything jumps out since I'm not a reader. O8)

15. My husband has been wigging out

BIGTIME!! He's dealing with an untenable situation where he's been thrust into a position with the federal government on a contract with a fortune 5000 company and talk about incompetent and petty..:grr: BUT he talking about quitting his job and that's just not my Brian. I spent most of last night talking him down and then couldn't sleep because I felt the waves of anger and frustration coming off him. I just passed the 26 hour mark without sleep.:hangover:

[Grateful for Hope]

16. Sounds like a very hard situation

I hope you get some sleep soon. You must be exhausted.

19. I wonder if this post describes some of what was going on.
