Tomorrow is some pretty intense astrology happening – a square between Uranus (sudden change, shocks), Pluto (destruction of the old) and a powerful full moon conjunct Uranus, right on the Aries Point. (You don’t need to know what that is, but it’s significant.)

Think of it as a turbo booster for sudden, fundamental change, both personal and global. Wars (bombs), earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis. Anger, fights, arguments, relationships breaking down. (Or up. You’ll hear about surprising divorces.) No matter how much you resist it, you will need to go forward. You will need to change.

I’m not real happy about this one. It hits me right on my natal sun (because tomorrow is my birthday) and although (as my dear friend Maya points out) it’s very possible the changes will be positive, I’m kind of stuck in my “Oh god, I’m so completely fucked!” mode right now. I don’t trust the calm after the storm, because it’s never stayed calm for long. So even when things are going well, I’m still looking over my shoulder.

There’s one basic rule in astrology: Any transit, no matter how powerful, will not affect you unless it activates (makes an angle to) something that’s already in your natal chart. Well, this one’s lighting up my damned chart like a pinball, so here’s hoping Maya is right and it’ll all be fine.

And I’ll finish my book, become rich and famous, and live happily ever after. At least for a few weeks!
