An eventful, news-generating weekend lies ahead. This can be a life-defining moment for some. What surfaces, strikes, or accelerates is a continuation of what has been brewing all year.

Friday delivers the second Uranus/Pluto peak of 2013 and the fourth of seven alignments spanning 2012 to 2015. The previous alignment in May forced Nigel Wright’s exit as Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, and it sent NSA whistle blower Edward Snowden to infamy and to China. Both scandals are making new headlines now.

Uranus retrograde in Aries and Mars in Virgo in a workable position, especially Friday/Saturday, set the stage for a necessary correction. Also reaching the apex of its cycle on Friday, Mercury conjoins the sun. Despite the standard Mercury retrograde advice to delay decisions on important matters, Friday to Sunday provides an opportune window. The weekend’s stars are a dynamic trigger for that which has reached its time-has-come or spill-over limit.

Sunday’s new moon solar eclipse in Scorpio occurs at 4:50 a.m. Mercury retrograde and Saturn in Scorpio are feature contributors. Whether the experience produces reward or consequence, the past shapes both now and next. A key individual such as a parent, a boss, an official, an agent, an advisor, or an authority figure can set the parameters or the new reality into play. With all Scorpio matters coming to a new threshold, please remember that the eclipse’s karmic relive or fruition potency will stay active for some time to come.
