Both the chart for our country’s birthday/solar return and the fallout from recent headlines point to tensions within our country this year and underline how important it is to keep conflict productive and honest.

Pluto is exactly back where it was when our country was born- this weekend Pluto is squared by Mars and the asteroid Eris, known for discord. When Pluto was at this 27° of Capricorn in 1776- the USA was just beginning a formative war for independence. Over the next decade the country worked hard, through conflict, to form our democracy.

We birth our Constitution a decade later on September 17, 1787 (yes, the Constitution is a Virgo- picky, pragmatic, with integrity, mutable) when Pluto was well into Aquarius. Our Constitution is a powerful vision statement but can be interpreted so many ways. We struggled to figure out how to form a better government and a more perfect union. In this next decade, instead of tearing us apart, let the debate help us forge a more perfect union. Starting with this weekend.

So feel that tension, both that personal and political tension, and find a good use for it. Be muscular. Speak up. Make a difference. But avoid unproductive confrontation, no matter how tempting, because we will still have to clean up the mess.
