Redefining Goals in Reverse
Overview
This reading of aspects and planetary sign positions applies to general trends globally and cannot give an adequate personal analysis by the transits, as each person is individual, while collective issues affect us all. Personal natal chart positions that will be activated by transits. You may be on board with redefining goals. You may choose to accept a possible role and engage in the environment surrounding in a positive way. There is a range of possible ways each aspect can manifest in a person’s life. Therefore, this global reading has more of a relevance to incidents that might occur. Someone will react when an aspect has importance by aspect to their natal celestial configurations. There is an element of free will involved. You can take an opportunity that open up for you, or you can reject the proposal. You will need to understand the range of possible reactions. You can seek revenge, or you can integrate the lessons into your psyche, you can change yourself, or be forced to change. Overall, a strong aspect of certain difficult planetary transit configurations will manifest in some way in some people and another way in other people. For instance, the Mars/Saturn trine aspect in water signs, that has been building over the past several days, can be read is bringing harm, as both Mars and Saturn have a reputation as malefics. But when the aspect resonates for an individual it can have a positive affect. The trine aspect is seen as a beneficial aspect, yet can be harsh when it involves the malefic planets. However, it can also manifest as the ability to differentiate and promote an evolutionary creativity. It depends largely on the individual ability to work with the situation and find positive resources to use the influence in a very beneficial way.

Wednesday April 2nd — After the lunar conjunction aspect with Uranus in Taurus on Tuesday, exposing a financial weakness, or revering some policy unexpectedly, the Moon conjunction aspect with Jupiter in Gemini represents inflated talk, verbose and unsubstantiated claims.
