In the midst of this time of major evolutionary transformation, we are
learning to navigate new currents, as well as releasing old familiar ways of
feeling secure. Join me in this presentation to briefly explore the key
planetary energies that are assisting us in this process and ways we can
co-create with them.

2. 2013 – 2014:
From Restriction to Expansion
From Density to Lightness
From Outer Success to Inner Joy

3. The Summer of 2013
Water Water Everywhere
Key theme: Emotional Awakenings
and Transformative Expansion

4. A reminder of what astrology is based on – the study of the
stars
On a clear night this is what we might see in the sky

5. In ancient times people grouped the stars into shapes which they named
the 12 Signs of the Zodiac. Many of these Signs resemble animals.
This is the Zodiac Sign of Cancer

6. These are the Planets which we can view from Earth - so far !

7. Your Birth Chart is a symbolic map of where the Planets were located
within the 12 signs of the zodiac at the exact moment of your birth. Hence
if the Sun was in the sign of Leo at the time of your birth, you would be
described as having ‘Sun in Leo’ . Similarly for the other planets.

8. Core themes for 2013: Expansion, Release,
Transformation, Integration and Action
The planetary energies of 2013 can be divided
into three main phases:
January to May invited us to expand forwards
with direct action.
May to August brings an increase in planetary
intensity. This is an ideal time to release and
transform on all levels.
September to December is an opportune time
to re-structure.

9. The key underlying theme in the sky from 2012 – 2015 is the
on-going square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in
Capricorn.
The core invitation of this powerful configuration is to transform and
release inauthentic structures and embrace a new way of being that is
more fully aligned with our soul self. Saturn also remains in Scorpio
until 2015, thereby reinforcing these key themes.

10. The Dates and Degrees of the exact
Uranus/Pluto square 2012 – 2015 – these
are particularly good times to effect change to any outdated
structures in our lives at a personal and collective level
including finances, home, relationships etc. We are also
likely to feel more rebellious and impatient at these times!

12. In addition, over the Summer months of
2013, we are experiencing several Grand
Trines in Water which introduce a powerful
emotional, imaginative and spiritual
dimension to the current changes on a
collective and individual basis

13. A Grand Trine formation occurs when 3 or more
planets are 120’ from each other in the sky ,
thereby forming an equilateral triangle. This
configuration allows energy to flow freely and
easily between the planets involved. In sacred
geometry the number three has many
spiritual/esoteric associations.

14. Some Meanings for the Grand Trines in Water Signs:
Expanding our depth world of feelings and our unconscious realms
Characteristics of the Element of Water/Emotions:
Unstoppable
Can flood or freeze when we are overwhelmed
Holds treasures in its depths

15. Searching for
where we feel
most at home
within ourselves
and in the world
Bringing to the
surface, healing and
releasing unresolved
emotions to do with
the past
Expanding through
joyful creative self
expression
Connecting with
ourselves and
others on a depthful
authentic emotional
level
Mothering/nurturing
ourselves and noticing
where and how we seek
it from others and
things, particularly
money and food
Experiencing and
expressing lunar
unconditional love

17. We can’t stop the waves but we can learn to surf
Jon Kabat-Zinn
With a majority of planets in Water Signs and few in Earth throughout the summer, it is important to
remember to ground ourselves in our body and on this planet so that we don’t feel swamped by the
expansive waves of feelings within ourselves and in the
collective.

18. You are likely to resonate particularly
strongly with these themes if you have
Planets or angles between
0’ – 7’ Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, Aries,
Scorpio or Taurus and/or if you are in the
midst of your Saturn Return (aged 29, 60 or
89) or Midlife Transits (age 37 – 43)
and/or if you have planets between 8’ and
13’ Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Sagittarius

19. So what can you do?

20. Don’t Nail the Floorboards Down!!
Go Willingly into your depths and clear out
whatever you no longer need
Step into Your Authentic Power
Take the opportunity to create with the
planetary energies
Have fun in the process – this new world we
are creating is based on JOY

21. Happiness is
neither virtue nor
pleasure nor this
thing nor that but
simply growth, we
are happy when we
are growing
William Butler Yeats
