Last Quarter Moon June 11, 2012

Today's third quarter moon arrangement marks a time of tension and polarization in personal and collective senses of power in relationships. The highlight of the chart is a T-square (where 2 or more planets are opposite each other and also forming a square, or 90 degree angle, to another one or more planets) featuring the concentrated, transformative Pluto opposite the personal force of cimmunication Mercury with both forming a square to Uranus.

The energy of the opposition in a T-square is generally focussed through the squared planet which in this case is Uranus. Uranus is a collectivly felt force of freedom and autonomy and under pressure such as this expect to feel or sense dis-ease or discomfort among the masses and within yourself at this time. There are powerful questions that are being ruminated upon at this time and a struggle to understand the path to change. Even more important perhaps is how to enact change or transformation that allows for an honoring of individual and collective freedom.

The Pluto/Uranus square is a powerful celestial moment (well, series of moments really!) that has proven to be quite momentous to life here on earth in many, many ways. You can read about some of them here: http://www.isleofavalon.co.uk/GlastonburyArchive/ephem/ef-ae.html

What's important in the here and now is that Mercury function. See, with Uranus and Pluto there's a lot that could happen that is beyond our individual control and authority however, with Mercury there, just before this square starts to dance for the next few years, there is the idea that how we conceive of and communicate the events is within our control. The future really is ours to make!
