Moons Out of Phase?

I have no idea whether it is the weather, the changing of the season so suddenly into warm spring, or if everyone is just itching to air their grievances, but this week has thus far been filled with stories of un-neighborly actions and cantankerous coworkers.  Everywhere you turn, someone is itching for an argument...and I hate that.  Aside from a couple issues that get me running fairly hot in short order, I'm a pretty easy-going person.  But the past few days, selfish actions of the chance encounter kind are enough to challenge the patience of even the most saintly person (and I am NOT Mother Theresa!)

Yesterday was so frustrating that I turned to the interwebs for astrological interpretation.  Lo and behold, Uranus is squaring Pluto, putting it into Capricorn.  I'm not entirely sure what that means, but according to Astrologer Jenny, it can cause the following to occur:

There's an urge for freedom that breaks through barriers, even though there will be some deep, stubborn resistance...times of change don't always bring out the best in people. Some people will be tyrants, and others will make it easier for the tyrants to hold sway.

Tyrants and meanies, everywhere you turn.

Well, not really, but when you have a long day of work filled with people who all want their own way, followed by an evening of visiting with friends and hearing stories about their day also filled with negative experiences, its hard not to feel beleaguered.  It's enough to make you want to run for the hills and hide behind a tall, forbidding fence for a while.

Oh, and apparently Mercury enters retrograde in early June, so then we're all in for a crazy ride.  Whee!

There’s an urge for freedom that
breaks through barriers, even
though there will also be some
deep, stubborn resistance.  Old
fears can come up, and people
can embody them in ways that
seem quite irrational at times.

Times of change don’t bring out
the best in everyone.  Some
people will be tyrants, and
others will make it easier for
tyrants to hold sway.
