JUPITER AND PLUTO
The square between transiting Jupiter in Aries and transiting Pluto in Capricorn begins to lighten up on March 2nd as Jupiter keeps moving forward, easing some of the tensions and stress with decisions surrounding growth and power, courage and authority.
The square that occurred last month made it uncomfortably clear that as we begin to choose new life experiences and directions it is critical to be aware that there are consequences of our choices; that we can dream big and work hard at something we care about, infusing life with greater meaning; or with a cup too much of impulsiveness, leap without looking and end up taking a path that can bring difficult lessons more than the joy of new life experiences. Truly this is an opportunity!
Therefore, as this tension lessens we can begin to move forward with a greater sense of courage, independence, passion and purpose supported by personal integrity and inner authority.
MERCURY IN ARIES
On March 9th transiting Mercury in the very last degrees of mystical Pisces and the last hour of the morning will contact Uranus also in the very last degrees of Pisces; creating a sudden flash of mental inspiration, stimulation, and liberation where your mind can open up to truly innovative and inspired thought…grab your pencil and paper and put them down. They may later prove to be a flight of fancy or something of substance.
Literally within hours fast moving Mercury moves into fiery Aries where some fear may come up, but also the assertiveness needed, to create some action…to start that needed communication or learning process. The flow of information coming and going will speed up. The thoughts that may occur while Mercury flashed over Uranus may seem to take on a life of their own and demand some expression.
Although this brief passage of Mercury through Aries is about the mind opening and actively seeking out to new ideas and information, also the courage to communicate and with independent initiative get things going. With all this flurry of mental activity …be aware that the potential exists for words to spill out too quickly and possibly harshly; that actions taken without any forethought can lead to tripping and falling; and later having to pick up the pieces.
Then at the end of March Mercury will go retrograde in Aries giving us all a chance to rethink, review, repair or redo anything we may have blurted out or begun a bit too quickly.
THE BIG NEWS..URANUS MOVES INTO ARIES
On March 11th transiting Uranus the planet of individuation, authenticity, and revolution will be moving into the sign of Aries the Warrior for 7 years. Uranus made a brief dip into Aries this past May through August and then it went back into Pisces.
The last time Uranus was in the sign of Aries was between 1927-1935; a time when there were massive changes within economic and social structures. It was a time where in the wake of all the changes genius had to push forward.
So for all of us alive now this is really, really big new! This is a powerful energy that demands expression.
For each of us individually it will bring forth the drive to re-align our lives with who we truly are; where changes will have to be made. However, change can be difficult and there can be frustration for Aries wants everything quickly; action and action now.
Now with this in mind, I’m hoping we remember and take with us some of the good of the past 7 years as Uranus was (and still is at this moment) in Pisces; certainly not all, but many have truly learned about divine inspiration, love and compassion; and experiencing the divine collective; that we are all one.
This sounds very “new agey”, but the truth is that for many there has been a spiritual awakening to our true natures. An understanding that our essence is the same, and regardless of cultural, social or religious beliefs we are …spirit..soul..eternal beings that are capable of great love, and I’m speaking of the love of humanity, the love of nature and our earth. The knowing that what we do to another, in essence we do to ourselves..
We are experiencing this new cycle of Uranian energy at this time and place because it’s the energy we actually need..to create the changes that will support a new level of awareness and authenticity into life. Understand that life as you know it now will change in some significant way. The key is to be courageous enough to search within to understand who you are at this time in your life. What in your life doesn’t feel real, doesn’t feel like “you”. What needs to change? And who will you need to stand your ground with in the claiming of authentic change? Be aware that rashness and anger, and even violence is a potential as reactions to this energy shift occurs, and that there are consequences to that.
Collectively we are already seeing all over the world people gathering and raising personal issues, demanding changes as they stand up to power structures. People are finding their voice, their need to be more independent and their need to live more authentic lives. There is the real potential for anger and violence as old structures that refuse to change are pulled down.
My hope is that we individually and collectively can create changes that support a greater authentic life; that we engage with courage and initiative, rather than fear driven anger and violence; and that we utilize our individual and collective genius in rebuilding new structures and a new world that has room for all of us.
JUPITER OPPOSES SATURN
On March 28th transiting Jupiter who recently moved into the sign of Aries will move into the aspect of an opposition with transiting Saturn in the sign Libra.
Oppositions create awareness and tension. Imagine that these two planets are sitting across the room from each other; giving each other that look as each is feeling that their position is the only one.
Jupiter is hope, growth, opportunity and in the sign of Aries is champing at the bit to go for new and big dreams! Saturn in Libra is serious, cautious, and works with self-discipline and patience to create peace and harmony with others. With this opposition the awareness and stress is between the independent spirit and the responsible relationship with others.. Basically…”I” vs “We”…new growth vs structures already in place. This tension can create frustration and anger and finger pointing as each side wants its way.
The spiritual work is to find a way to see both ends; to understand that both sides have value and something to bring to the table. The opposition isn’t about one side or position being the right one and other wrong, but that there is something to be learned from both positions, and that the truth that can bridge the tension and find higher ground is found somewhere between them.
As above so below
Be Well Be Love
