Mount St Helen’s erupted into life this afternoon after being quiet for weeks. I don’t study earthquakes and eruptions in detail like some astrologers, but perhaps it’s not a surprising event, coming on the heels of the current Mars-Saturn opposition. Mars represents action and movement, but Saturn stands for constraint and limitation. They are not very compatible forces! The oppositions or conjunctions tend to lead to frustration and bottled-up energy. Often, with a Mars-Saturn opposition it feels like the pressure builds us for weeks as the opposition moves slowly toward exactness. As the opposition is passed the pressure releases, either gradually, or sometimes – as in this case – abruptly.
