The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (June 5)

Troubled skies this weekend with the planet Mercury squaring Neptune and Mars opposing Pluto.  There is an underlying tension to the day, a energy which can easily gear up to aggression.  Be careful with your words.  Step away from volatile situations.  Power dynamics can be problematic.  The Mars/Pluto opposition can act as a conduit for repressed anger.  The spiritual principles of patience and tolerance will be especially useful now, perhaps even essential.  The planet Mercury is still retrograde. The square Mercury forms with Neptune now distorts our perception of reality.  That can make us vulnerable, beware the trickster out to to deceive you.  Delay important communications, pull back from decision-making processes for a couple of days.  If you are irritated with your partner take space. Spend time in the park with your dog, or take a long nap with your cat.  Find a rock by a lake, reflect and meditate.  Write in your journal.  Essentially the next 48 hours will be best  experienced as inner-self time.
