The value of the pound has fallen in the wake of an
opinion poll which suggested the pro-UK campaign had lost its lead ahead of the
Scottish independence referendum. The
SNP has dismissed a promise by the Chancellor to unveil a timetable for further
devolution if voters reject independence as a last-minute "bribe".
BBC Scotland's political correspondent Glenn Campbell has reported that a new
body will also be set up to hammer out more powers for Holyrood if there is a
"No" vote on 18 September. BBC; http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-29105565

Transiting
Pluto Conjunction Radix Ascendant
This is a time of personal transformation. This transit challenges you to reveal who you
really are and what you really want. It is a season of “unmasking”. Some false
note has crept into your external, presented self. It may be an old lie, told
for safety or convenience, that is now being unravelled. It may be that you’ve
changed inwardly to the point that your old self is simply running on
momentum…and the situation is becoming untenable. Should you make a weak
response your behaviour will oscillate between numbness and apathy on the one
hand and touchy defiance on the other. As your response evolves there may be a
tendency towards brutal solutions. You may “nuke” a long-standing relationship.
While we must recognize the virtue of working hard on relationships and
sticking with them, we must also accept that sometimes alliances that have been
meaningful and alive come to pieces where they are no longer consistent with
who we are: a distinctly Plutonian truth [1]. (Also note Pluto stations direct
on September 23, 2014)
Transiting
Saturn Conjunction Radix Midheaven
If in the past you have chosen your social identity
in order to please someone else, this can be a time when you may have to decide
to take responsibility for yourself and create your own identity. This transit
gives you the energy to make the changes which help consolidate your life
purpose. [2]
Transiting
Saturn Opposite Radix Sun
It is possible that you may be caught in some kind
of a relationship, for example a bad marriage that limits your self-expression.
Quite frequently this transit brings such relationships to an end [3].
Transiting
Saturn Square
There is tension between your wish to follow your
rainbow, and the need for security. Most
often this transit leads to a happy separation; one is glad to leave or leaves
for a good reason. [4]
Transiting
Pluto Square
Alterations in family or group structures; the
sense of family and relationship goes through a radical change. The fact
that values have changed will affect families, groups and relationships -- and these
"social units" are also due for
a catharsis (which means there will be recognition that
interactions have become
"unhealthy"--if not toxic-- and that there needs to be some "drama" in order for people to
return to a place of honesty with
themselves and in their dealings with others.) [4]
Finally we
look at the nearest lunar return for the chart. Notice the highly separative
Uranus-Pluto square on the meridian axis. Uranus in Aries reflects a desire for
freedom from Pluto in Capricorn control. Also on the Ascendant [6le] is
the beehive cluster Praesepe. Writing
about this cluster Nick Fiorenza says:
Praesepe is of new beginnings, migration, shedding
old skins, skeletons, and cocoons. It is of emerging out of the frenetic
confusion of mass consciousness; finding our new path and direction; leaving
behind old dwellings and the structures of consciousness they represent;
and getting out of our personal or collective dogma and the darkness it
creates. Alignments with Praesepe may indicate a new dwelling place is at hand
or that one is in order to find. As with the migration of bees from an old
hive, before identifying their new direction, there can be frenetic
confusion at first, a scattered sense and lack of direction before moving
toward their new home. This is temporary and is part of intuiting the feeling
for the right direction, much like turning in a complete circle to identify the
way that feels right. Praesepe asks us to trust in our magnetic sense, on our
inner compass, and to hone in on our new direction while honoring the inherent
confusion of the emergence process.
