MARS SQUARE PLUTO - exact 9 October 2020

10/9/2020

0 Comments

Today the challenging square aspect between warrior Mars and powerful Pluto peaks, bringing the potential for acting and reacting from a deep within our subconscious, for having the courage to face our shadows and shame, for being triggered and anger or rage coming up from a place deep within us. It can also bring power struggles and the urge to fight back against corruption and having the courage to expose the dark side of the power structures. This aspect could help us to find the will, courage and strength to transform ourselves in some way, but could also bring psychological “warfare” as the planet of the subconscious and psyche comes up against the planet of aggression and war.

However, the Moon, Venus and Mercury are all in earth and water signs, which are “yin” in nature, so it is quite possible that the battle is internal rather than external. Venus is currently in Virgo, which could mean that we are more self-critical than usual and more prone to focusing on our shortcomings and inadequacies. Venus in Virgo is very humble and willing to serve, but is also adept at being very hard on herself and can be her own worst enemy!

Mercury in Scorpio could mean that our thought processes are a bit more compulsive and obsessive than usual, even to the point of being paranoid. It is very important to watch our internal dialogue in the next couple of days, as our minds could potentially go to some dark places and make assumptions! However, Mercury in Scorpio can also help us to understand our psyches better, as we are able to probe beneath the surface of reality and gain some deep understanding of the way our subconscious works.

The Moon is in sensitive, emotional Cancer all day today, which does have the potential to bring up our insecurities and make us a bit more needy, but also invites us to feel empathy for ourselves and each other. The Moon is at home in its own sign and encourages us to nurture ourselves and one other. We could be a bit moody, with changing emotions over the course of the day, so we are invited to practice the art of self-awareness and keep an eye on how our inner child might be acting and reacting to whatever we are experiencing.

The Mars Pluto aspect has been building for a few days now and will be flt most acutely by people with personal planets within a few degrees of 22° of a sign, especially the Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

Much Love

MARS OPPOSITE URANUS – exact Friday 1 December

11/22/2017

 Mars was square Pluto for the New Moon, helping us to purge old patterns and to be brave enough to move beyond our self-imposed limitations. The combination had the potential to bring up some quite intense emotions that it would be hard to contain. Pluto is the planet of transformation, while Mars gives us the energy, motivation and drive to make the necessary changes so that we can shift old habits and patterns so something more aligned with who we are becoming can take their place. Combine this with a Scorpio New Moon and we had the potential to bravely face our shadows and recognise what emotional patterns are holding us back from growth. The energy of the Pluto Mars square peaked on Sunday and is now on the wane.
 
Now Mars is moving towards an opposition with Uranus, the Great Awakener, who is in Aries at the moment urging us to wake up to our true, authentic selves. Uranus brings sudden events that seem to “happen to us”, but are often merely a reflection of our inner need for change. Uranus and Mars together could make things a bit more unpredictable and make us act in ways that are seemingly out of character but are probably more akin to our real self. Uranus wants to bust us out of our conditioned self, rather than the person we learned to be in order to please our parents and teachers and gain their love and approval. We could feel a burst of courage or experience a wake-up call that helps us to step outside of our comfort zone and try out something new and exciting. Indeed, we may well feel strong, uncontrollable urges to do things differently and break up our old, tired routine. We may become very excited by a new vision for our future and feel a strong need to actually make it happen. There is a revolutionary feeling to this opposition, as people could find the courage and anger needed to stand up for much needed change.
 
The energy of the opposition could be a bit disruptive to our relationships, as we may feel a tension between our need for the freedom to be ourselves and the need for compromise. Unresolved grievances may come bursting out into the open, although this could definitely be a good thing because it is far better than resentment festering away below the surface! A good way to harness the energy of Mars and Uranus is to be open to anything new and exciting and to be willing and open to take action in order to change. It could make us all too aware of where we are stuck or stagnant, and give us the energy, courage and motivation to kick away anything that might be holding us back or limiting us. We shouldn’t be surprised if our loved ones act differently either; in fact we should embrace it because it could bring a breath of fresh air to our lives and relationships. The energy of the opposition will be building over the next week and will peak on Friday 1 December. As Confucius says “The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”

VENUS JUPITER CONJUNCTION IN LEO!

8/17/2014

Today is Krishna's birthday and we are also in the midst of a beautiful Jupiter/Venus conjunction in Leo which is in effect all weekend and is exact tomorrow (Monday). This is a beautiful thing! Venus and Jupiter only meet up with each other once a year and when they do it brings an abundance (Jupiter) of love (Venus). Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion and is the biggest planet, so he expands the energy of whatever planet he comes into contact with. In this case he is expanding the energy of the planet of love, harmony and beauty! YES!! Not only that, but this conjunction is occurring in Leo, the sign of joyful self-expression and creativity which rules the heart. This is a perfect time for singing, dancing, creating from the bottom of our hearts! Jupiter also represents Faith and the higher mind. As such, this planetary pair could bring Faith in Love and a higher expression of love.....Divine Love!  Interesting that this conjunction is around on Krishna's birthday!

Follow your Bliss!

Much Love

    I love writing about the Moon and the effect it has on us all, both collectively and personally. We all look at the same Moon and feel her energy, albeit in different ways. It reminds us that we are not alone and there is something very comforting about that!
