Uh-yup, it’s a doozy of a week, a dilly of a pickle, and the bees knees of energetic swirling dervishes … and likely a few Tantrum Yogis and Hissy Fit Artists, too, doin’ their thing.
Super sweet, but also typical of Transformation-Times.
Cranky, tetchy, touchy, intense energy soup just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., and for the ‘Black Friday‘ start of the often manic, angst-stirring holiday ‘shopping season’ common to the more consumer-driven cultures … when a lot of good folks are hangin’ from their last dangling nerve.
Woo hoo!
But remember that in chaos and seeming crisis there’s great potential and creative juice, too.
So here’s a bit of energy weather reporting and Rx suggestions for all of us who know that awareness is our friend, or as the folk proverb has it, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
In a wee nutshell:
We have some highly sensitizing, electrifying, zap-zone energy dynamics afoot this week, increasing the tantrum-yoga, hissy fit, outburst, psychic-vomit potential.
Empath-sensitives get a heads-up to stay aware and honor self-care needs to be most skillful.
Rudyard Kipling’s poem, If, is wise guidance for these transformation-time energetics afoot:
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too…” … etc.
So, in the spirit of “keeping our heads” and being islands of calm in the midst of the storm …

Here are the deets for more awareness-minded folks:
I’ll share a bit of astro-lingo and the gist about the current energy soup we’re swimming together in.
Tomorrow’s Full Moon is at 4 (degrees) Gemini … fairly jittery energy by itself … directly opposes Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Sagittarius, creating a ‘t-square’ with Neptune in Pisces.
That means three or more energy dynamics clash to create a crucible or creative friction and ideally liberate higher possibility or less ideally trigger shadow-activity.
As always, archetypal-energies zap us right where we are, individually and collectively, to trigger, awaken, challenge, or test particular things in and around us.
This week sees the first exact square between Saturn in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces.

This Saturn-Neptune meetup is a year-long ‘in the news’ dynamic … asking (among other things):
• What is REAL, really? What is reality, really?
• Is this REALLY the best dream or vision of ‘reality’ we can come up with?
• Which of these stories are real, really? and
• Which of these stories mask an agenda that wants to delude us, glamour us, ensorcel us, or lead us astray?
… and other explorations of what’s real, what’s not real, what do we wish, pray, envision, or dream to be real.
I have Saturn-Neptune square in my natal chart, so understand its tidal-reality push-and-pull, ebb-and-flow, create-and-dissolve dynamic.
Though that’s plenty activating for everyone this week, anyone who has natal planets in early (first decan or 0-10 degrees-ish) Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces (as I do), it’ll be extra activating because it’s a lot more ‘juice’ flowing through what’s called the Mutable Cross that those four archetype-signs represent.
That means that early 60s-born Generation-X shapeshifting Phoenixers with first-decan natal placements in early Virgo (like Uranus and Pluto) and early Pisces (like Chiron) are additionally activated by this one.
AND there’s more …. Mars and Venus are flying together in Libran airspace, adding a shorter-burst activation to the Uranus-Pluto Square.
(This hits the charts of 70s-born friends, who likely have both Uranus and Pluto in Libra, and have been or are in the Uranus Return zone and the Uranus-Pluto Square zone).
Mars brings fire energy or shakti-fire, and tends to breathe fire and then think about consequences like what it’s just reduced to a smoking ash heap.
Venus, as in myth, is the one presence (or part of us) who can (1) tolerate Mars fiery brashness, and (2) calm and more consciously direct that Marsian-energy to where it can do more good than harm.
So, in short … a great time to be the healing, centered, aware, middle-Way presence while many around us could well be in full-on provocateur, ‘tantrum yoga’, fundamentalist, ‘psychic vomit’ mode.
And at the very time we may be feeling fairly sensitive to the very same energetics rippling through the shared field.

Sounds like ‘business as usual’ for transformation catalysts and horizon-edge vision-seeders and energy alchemists. 😉
So there you have it … energy weather snapshot of the archetypal energies of now.
How does this affect you?
How do the longer term energy dynamics like Saturn-Neptune and Uranus-Pluto or other ‘key milestones’ — Uranus Opposition, Chiron Returns — affect you this coming year?
How can you work more effectively and gracefully with that?
What self-care, mastery, and energy hygiene practices can be of greatest help to you?
How can you better and more skillfully navigate those ‘difficult personalities’ and interactions?

Wow Jamie.. what an energetic read, 🙂 Thankfully while the world seems to be feeling that Zap and Zing.. I have been in my own calm bubble of creativity.. Sending Love and Hugs your way Jamie..

Thanks, Sue. I’m glad to hear you’re snugged in your own calm bubble of creativity, and rippling that out as good medicine into the shared sphere … which is more stirred up (and BEING stirred up) as usual, and particularly at certain times even moreso.
Thanks for the medicine you are! xoxo Love, Jamie

yeah, that’s me being zapped with my IC/MH and pluto all being triggered. I feel dizzy figuratively and literally. It is nice to see you adding astro readings to your list of services. Clearly you have the skills 😉
Strangely I feel less stressed about my family than usual. My birthday dinner went better than expected so that gives me hope. Yet skeletons loom during this season and it is easy to be primally spooked. Great post!
Have a great turkey day Jamie and enjoy our Gemini moon day too!
November 25, 2015 at 5:00 pm
Thank you, Linda. Another happy birth day, birth month, and new year to you. May it be delightfully overflowing with lovely bounty, joy and lots of love.
And yes, most ’empath-sensitives’ can definitely feel the heightened energy, though some of us pick up on certain energetics … earth energetics, cosmic-zap (moon, mercury, Uranus come to mind!), and ‘ambient’ … what’s wafting around us in the ‘astral’.
I’ve been hearing from people noticing it around them … people having sudden outbursts, etc. It’s not an easy energy to hold (as we know so well) and for those who aren’t familiar with HOW to more skillfully deal with it … out it comes. 🙂
So glad you’re feeling a bit less stressed about familial ties and potential primal-spookings. 🙂 And yes, my Gemini Moon Sister, stay soothed and enjoy the bounty of ideas and inspirations!
xoxo Love, Jamie

p.s. Thanks for the nod on the astrology readings option, Linda.
I’m experimenting with straight-up astro readings after receiving several inquiries and requests (aka ‘clues’). We’ll see. It’s a great option for the year-end, new-year, so it’s timely. 🙂

Reblogged this on Laura Bruno's Blog and commented:
Astro-weather report from Jamie: stormy with a touch of Sturm und Drang. I’m not an astrologer, but I can attest to the accuracy of Jamie’s report based on all the drama I’ve already heard about through this week’s coaching and intuitive sessions.
In addition to Jamie’s sage advice, it’s also a great time to remember the energy brush off: sweep your right hand from your left shoulder, down past your finger tips. Repeat on the other side. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Flick the energy off your fingers, too. Let. It. Go.
It’s not yours. YOU are the eye of the hurricane, the calm in the storm, the Two of Swords, and the birther of dancing stars.
November 25, 2015 at 4:56 pm
Thanks for sharing with your circle, Laura. ‘…a touch of Sturm and Drang.” Perfect. 🙂 And yes, it’s something quite a few intuitives and sensitives have been noticing and reporting in on as it waxes or heightens in recent weeks. Here’s to mindful presence and skillful energy hygiene! xoxo 🙂 Happy Holy Days. Jamie
November 25, 2015 at 4:57 pm
Yes, skillful energy hygiene! Yesterday, I said to someone, “Think of it like brushing your teeth. You wouldn’t wait to brush your teeth until you’re reeling in pain from an abscessed tooth, would you? Then don’t wait to brush your energy until things are so bad you can’t stand the pain. Brush your energy well and often.” Happy Holy Days to you, too! Laura
November 25, 2015 at 6:12 pm
That’s pretty humorous, Laura, and a good metaphor or example, too. Brushing and flossing and a good mouthrinse (purchased or homemade) does make a noticeable and positive difference. Then sometimes we get caught up and need those (hopefully not TOO abscessed) reminders. 😉 Happy juju-hygiening. xoxo Love, Jamie

Yep..
this energy is all over my natal planets! I started feeling the energy building over the weekend and have been preparing myself. Laying low tomorrow…Great report, thanks so much!
November 25, 2015 at 4:53 pm
I can relate to that. 🙂 May you be well, may all be well, and may you stay cool as a cucumber regardless. 🙂 xoxo Jamie

As an empath it’s always great to have a little extra heads up. Having a ton of astrology info from experts likes yourself has made a huge difference to my mojo flow. It gives me more confidence that my way of expression in the world is a unique gift. When ever I write lately I have this polarity running through my mind is this useful for the world? And it takes some courage to put it out there in such raw fashion. Then I see the astrology and it shows me I have been on the ball in reflecting my truth.
December 6, 2015 at 8:21 pm
It can be a really good mirror and affirmation or confirmation, to be sure. It does take quite a bit of courage to follow that intuition and share it in the raw fashion, though that has a more authentic energy to it, too, don’t you think/sense? I think that’s the perennial (and more) question for all manner of creatives, wisdom bringers, nonconformists called to share the pearls, etc. … should I share it like this, or at all? Is it useful? and so on … and sometimes on, and on, and on… :).

Yeah non-comformity is a necessary aspect of self-transformation, it makes sense that this process is a paradigm confronting one because I guess we could say that the big shift is fuelled co-creatively in a kind of feedback loop by all the little emergent self-transformations.
We have all those wisdom bearers who kept the flames alight all those years to keep the cycle rolling. Let’s burn through all this toxicity and Roll onto Zep Teppi I say. It would be Karmically expedient to leave the wheel at the apex of a Zep Teppi.
The fruition of the cumulative work of many lifetimes before one moves onto becoming a different form of being. Whoa deep and all very real. Big questions big answers. Super invigoration. Will most certainly check out that link.

“We have all those wisdom bearers who kept the flames alight all those years to keep the cycle rolling.”
That’s the deep lineage that inspires and also propels … gives meaning and perhaps a bit of ‘fuel’ to those of us contemporary “keepers of the flame” who take up that torch that’s been stewarded and passed along to us.
“Roll on to Zep Teppi…” … sounds like a song title. 🙂
xoxo Love, Jamie
