An exploration of the Psychological Astrology of the Transits of 2014 including the Grand Cross and the Uranus/Pluto square. How might you integrate these energies into your daily life particularly if they closely resonate with your chart?
3. Core Astrological Configuration for 2014 = The Grand Cross
Key planets = Uranus, Pluto, Mars and Jupiter
A Grand Cross = a planetary configuration where 4 or more planets
form the shape of a cross. Because of the nature of this shape and
because the planets involved in this case are at what is considered the
âcritical degreeâ of 13â for cardinal signs in traditional astrology, there
is a lot of pressure from these energies to take action. During peak
times we are likely to experience a degree of internal and external
agitation on an individual and collective level.

5. The Ending of 2013:
Dec 21st: Venus Ret. until Jan 31st 2014
Dec 25th : Mars opposite Uranus
Dec 27th : Mars quincunx Chiron
Dec 30th : Mars square Pluto
Core Theme: The issue of Justice and fairness comes to the
forefront on an individual and collective level. This is a very
active time! Best to avoid potential conflicts and keep
centered.
The Start of 2014:
Jan 1st 2014: The New Moon at 10 Capricorn â57 joins the
Grand Cross together with Mercury, illuminating our need to
focus on communication that is based on authenticity and
meaning.
6. Winter 2014
Mars which moved into Libra for 8 months on Dec 7th 2013, continues
to play an active role in the Cardinal Grand Cross formation in the sky
with Jupiter in Cancer. This will continue until June 2014. Mars in Libra
invites us to use our mental capacities to observe and take calculated
action rather than react, so that we can balance carefully where our
actions might be most effective.
One of the arenas where imbalance needs to be addressed and
reassessed in 2014 is relationships, so that we can change areas of
inequality leading to increased mutuality.
7. Summer 2014:
Jupiter will move from watery Cancer to fiery Leo from July
2014 to August 2015. The energies for this naturally
expansive planet will shift from highlighting patterns of selfnurturing, connected to dynamics within our
family/community of origin, to an invitation to develop an
expansive joyful authentic soulful self, emanating from an
open heart.
8. The last few months of 2014:
In the last three months of the year, Jupiter will square
Saturn in Scorpio. These two planets are regular dance
companions and the current square will invite us to find joy
and meaning in our existence through unearthing and
integrating our shadow, as well as our light. In reality they
are one and the same as there is only light, with darkness
being an illusion based in fear

10. Some Questions to consider this coming year:

Where do I need to take action in my life? â How might I take
considered action rather than react?
âą
What areas of my life are out of balance? How might I bring them
into balance?

Are my relationships mutual? If not â what do I need to do to make
them more reciprocal?
11. Useful Tools for 2014:
âą
Meditation

groups
12. You are more likely to resonate with the Transits in
2014 if you have planets or angles between 7â and
17â Aries, Libra, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio or
Taurus.
These transits will also reverberate with you if you
are going through a time of Life Transition such as
going through the Midlife transits including: Pluto
square Pluto (age 36/37), Neptune square Neptune
(age 41/42) and Uranus opposite Uranus (age
41/42)

13. For those moments when the energies feel a little
intense, you may find this quote from Dr. Brian Weiss
helpful:
âOur bodies and our minds are the masks our
real self â the soul â wears in the physical
world. It is important to remember that we
are the souls, not the masksâ
