Mars Square Uranus (December 3, 2010)

Be care­ful! This is not a time to be hasty or impatient.…slow down or you will make a mis­take you will regret. Tem­pers can flare up, words could go too far. You will be upset or angry about the truth, your truth, and end up harm­ing your­self or another.

A square brings a sit­u­a­tion to a deci­sion point. The chal­lenge here is that our per­son­al actions or desires are being shaped by Uranus. Mars in Sagit­tar­ius wants to act in a very direct and straight­for­ward man­ner, to act in per­fect free­dom because, after all, “truth” is on our side.  If tak­en too far, if we allow the neg­a­tive side of being pushed by Uranus to man­i­fest, we can act so “right­eous­ly” that we com­mit a wrong.

Uranus in Pisces actu­al­ly comes in to remind us that, in fact, in order to be free you must also be com­pas­sion­ate. Our actions must be guid­ed by the under­stand­ing that whomev­er you are deal­ing with…that per­son is fun­da­men­tal­ly the same as you. Your “free­dom” to be or do some­thing can­not come at the expense of anoth­er. Rather, we must act with imag­i­na­tion, cre­ativ­i­ty and love in order to make a space we can be free in, together.

Mars Sextile Neptune (December 2, 2010)

Our desires rise to answer a whis­per from beyond. Inspired actions can bring dreams into real­i­ty. Right action is guid­ed by the soul’s inner light, which unites us all in one greater reality.

You can make your dreams come true now. Act in truth with those who imag­ine a world that will be bet­ter for one and all. Join in fel­low­ship and com­mon pur­pose and find  hap­pi­ness through com­pan­ion­ship. Dream, believe and act as one.

Mercury Sextiles Venus (December 1, 2010)

Com­mu­ni­cate your val­ues with grace and clar­i­ty. The abil­i­ty to con­vey your appre­ci­a­tion is well sup­port­ed now. With Mer­cury in Capri­corn, we are in a seri­ous frame of mind; and with Venus in Scor­pio, we are pas­sion­ate about our tastes.

Lov­ing thoughts are grace­ful­ly shared. Enjoy the beau­ti­ful with­in and with­out. Speak from your heart and cel­e­brate what is good. Remem­ber, the secret to hap­pi­ness is “to walk in beauty”.

Mercury Enters Capricorn (November 30, 2010)

Our minds turn to the prac­ti­cal now. Enough with the­o­ries and talk… what “works” is what counts. Log­ic reigns supreme. This is not the time for flights of fan­cy, you will only be dis­missed or ridiculed.

Instead, bring your ideas into sharp focus, mar­shal your facts, and demon­strate the prac­ti­cal val­ue of what you know. Some of the key words to use now are:

Respon­si­bil­i­ty, Tra­di­tion, Clas­si­cal and Duty.

This is a time to be seri­ous. Opin­ions do not count, we need proof. 

Mars Square Jupiter & Venus enters Scorpio (November 29, 2010)

Pas­sions run high­er and move deep­er today so be espe­cial­ly care­ful about what you do and how you express what you need. Anoth­er busy day with Mars Squar­ing Jupiter and Venus mov­ing into the sign of Scorpio.

Mars rules the desires and the actions we take to obtain them. Jupiter rules our prin­ci­ples which should guide our desires by defin­ing how we relate to our world. But with a square aspect mat­ters can be pushed to extremes. We might act too self­ish­ly or resort to play­ing the role of vic­tim to get our way.

Always with a square we are faced with a chal­lenge, we are chal­lenged by a choice. The wan­ing square says what we face is a chal­lenge to let go of an old way of meet­ing our desires. Jupiter in Pisces guides us to relate in a more com­pas­sion­ate and inclu­sive way. But Mars in Sagit­tar­ius believes it is “Right”, that it is act­ing with “Truth” on its side already. 

Even though we may be “right”, even though we might have “the law” on our side, Jupiter will ask us if we are mere­ly act­ing with­in the let­ter of the law (of life). Instead Jupiter will remind us that we must act in accord with the Spir­it of the Law instead. Right action is guid­ed and informed by com­pas­sion, kind­ness and forgiveness.

Venus mov­ing into Scor­pio shifts our sense of val­ue to a deep­er plane. We want to feel one with anoth­er. We want the pas­sion which comes from true union. But mov­ing clos­er to anoth­er involves risk. We must over­come our fear of rejec­tion and loss. To come togeth­er more close­ly requires trust and open­ness, but how do we do that? We must cre­ate a space of shared inti­ma­cy for us to meet in. It is a space that cel­e­brates our vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty as a tes­ta­ment to our strength not of our weakness.

With Venus in Scor­pio the joy of union is the prize we seek now.…to expe­ri­ence it requires us to bridge the mys­tery of our sep­a­ra­tion and dis­cov­er that we are one in spir­it. The illu­sion of the phys­i­cal body is sep­a­ra­tion. But we need to feel now the truth that we are con­nect­ed, that we are always part of a greater life. Put aside the fear of loss and walk the path of life.…together.
