The 2012 London Summer Olympics are here. It is hard to believe that it has been four
years since the last Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. The Sun is in Leo and Leo wants to
shine! Leo’s energy is keeping the
spirits high, optimistic and bright. The
chart of the London Olympics is a challenging one but that is not to say that
these events will be all gloom and doom. The chart has three Yods. A Yod is a rare astrological aspect that can
involve any celestial body. It looks
like a “Y” on any axis. Two of the
planets are sextile and and both inconjunct a third planet sharing neither
gender, element, nor mode. This placement of the planets can cause
controversies, blurry outcomes, tense energies.
One can find a lot of information and conspiracy theories that talk about the London Summer Olympics. The three Yods just point out that
there will be many different interpretations on what to expect from these
events. The Mercury was in retrograde during
the opening ceremony and has now gone direct.
There are many ways of looking at the Games – perhaps it is just an
entertainment, perhaps it symbolizes our pride, presents us with collective messages and spiritual awakenings - all of the energies
of the three Yods. What do the Olympics
mean to you, do you cheer for an individual or a team? Do the Olympics remind us that we can be
competitive without using a force, without endangering someone else? Some people believe the Olympics are here to
reveal a message to us, and maybe that they point us towards our saviour, so we can become a part of
the collective. Are the aliens watching us? Good-bye past and welcome future. Privacy is the thing of the past. Wenlock is watching you! :)
Take it or leave it attitude is sure going to apply during the entire event since it
fits within the Games’ chart. Mercury
retrograde has created already some confusions and blurry messages but hey, for
an event this large – things have been running pretty smoothly. Mars, the planet of the competition is
present at every sports event during the Olympics. It is now in a friendly and sociable Libra –
the sign of diplomacy and peace. The
sign of Libra serves its purpose during the Olympics since it emphasizes a
healthy competition. Mars is also close
to being conjunct to Saturn. Mars wants us to
go, go, go and Saturn questions everything Mars is about to experience. Saturn, the teacher, controls the expansive
Mars – thus, the Olympics are very well organized.
Our economy and the world crisis will continue for months to come and is
not likely to disappear; at least we can all immerse ourselves into the spirit
of the Games and forget about the worries of the world – at least for now. Isn’t it nice to see this kind of healthy
competition and celebrate the achievements of many who have
prepared so diligently and tirelessly to take part in the Olympic Games in London. Wenlock might be watching them, Mercury retrograde may have played a trick or two on them but the Sun in Leo shines on. Mars in Libra gives them the kind of stamina that comes hand in hand with humility. Speaking of stars aligned just right!
