Are you ever left wondering how cosmic alignments influence your personal journey, especially when they seem to clash? Well, in today’s cosmic musing, we dive headfirst into the intriguing world of astrology, specifically looking at collective transits like the double kite around 5°. It raises a tantalizing question: How should someone whose natal points are in a challenging position—think squares or quincunxes—interpret an otherwise harmonious cosmic dance? And, conversely, does the angst shift if the skies are filled with hard aspects, like a grand cross? Buckle up, because we’re about to traverse this celestial maze together!

“When you write about a collective transit — like the double kite around 5° — how does that land for someone whose natal points are square or quincunx to those exact degrees, rather than part of the harmonious pattern itself? Is there a way to still draw some benefit from a collective “easy” pattern when your personal chart is technically in friction with it?

And does the same question apply in reverse — if the collective pattern were a hard-aspect one, like a grand cross, instead of a kite?

 –  Gal had “Claude” pose this question, because Mercury was Rx square Saturn and her brain hurt.

The energy I highlight is out there for anyone and everyone to use or ignore as they please.  The methods of doing this are endless.

Using the examples given, if there are two kites in the sky, there are a lot things and people synching up, most likely in a positive way.  You don’t need to be in the flow of this to benefit. You can witness!  You can feel good by osmosis. You can simply enjoy a day of extraordinary grace.

In the case of a Grand Cross; energies are also connecting thought it may be harsh and limiting.  We need days like this as they hold a person in place. For example, they may stop procrastinating and handle the thing they are avoiding. And guess what doesn’t feel good? Stalling on things you know you need to get done!

I’m offering the “Astro Weather” so you can align in whatever way you like.  This brings me to your central question; if there is a lot of flow out there but it hits you in a harsh way, I would fall back on my concept, “energy is neutral until it’s directed”. What you do is up to you.

I don’t need others to suffer, just because I’m having a bad day.  Let’s say I hear of someone’s good news on my lousy day.  That’s better than hearing of their tragic news!  In contrast some people get annoyed when others are happy and they’re not.

If the good thing touches you, it’s still a good thing!  Cry or celebrate as you please!
