the astrology of where we are right now plus the week ahead ...what has fallen apart starts falling into place, change is good


 

It's Aquarius season - let's take a step back and take a look at where we are! 

 

The Sun is in Aquarius for a couple more weeks. 

 

He is just coming off his meeting with serious Saturn. The reality check. That was exact on Friday. Yesterday, the Moon, in Aries, moved into a smooth sextile with Saturn and then the Sun. Aries is the warrior/the initiator. This speaks of taking action. The Aries/Aquarius sextile - opportunities through the new/through being ourselves/by not being too sentimental/not looking backward, but taking traditional things into consideration. Saturn requires maturity/patience/consistency. In Aquarius, maybe our responsibilities to the group, certainly our responsibilities to the future come into play. 


Mars, ruler of that Aries Moon, is in Cappy,

 

following in the footsteps of Venus and Mercury. He is squaring Chiron on Sunday while the Moon is squaring Mercury and then Pluto. Mars loves being in Capricorn, is exalted. But these squares are challenging. Not a time for pushing, impulsive or controlling language, power trips because our timing will be off somehow. Not a time for giving up either. The square to Chiron is painful, an old wound around masculine energy (being able to take care of ourselves/be ourselves/anger issues) is triggered. Maybe by authority, maybe as we try to take control of a situation. We don't want to/can't hide our humanness/vulnerability AND we don't want our head handed to us either or to be doing this to someone else. A cardinal square requires new action. Requires we MOVE. Mars in Cappy is about high noon/about doing the most important things, not doing everything. Imagine someone is watching what you are doing. What would you do and how would you do it? We are stepping into our responsibilities. Might feel over-burdened/lonely. If something is triggering you - you/your body is OVER-responding, in Aries maybe through anger/passion/impulsivity - think about other times you have felt this way. Not to wallow, because we want to keep moving, but to think about how you can grow through this, what this might be offering/teaching. 


THIS WEEK, Mars will trine Uranus. A trine is a smooth aspect, the brakes are off. If Mars in Cappy is exalted because limits/rules are HELPFUL then this trine is where we step outside these limits/rules/change things up and THIS CHANGE IS SMOOTHLY INTEGRATED. Uranus isn't tossing us a curveball that will drop us on our ass this time, this time maybe the curveball is bringing us to the HOME RUN. Changes are beneficial. Good energy for breaking bad habits and acting on new developments. 


As of last Thursday, Mercury is DIRECT! 

 

Yay! He is getting back up to speed. Things will start to pick up/catch up. Delays will end. Decisions will be made. Choices become more black and white. Answers will come in. Mercury is in Capricorn, too - so our words matter, our plans are solidified. Our words are our contracts. 

 

THIS WEEK, Mercury will meet Pluto for the third and FINAL time (they met the end of December and then the end of January) - what needs to be finished, what needs to come up to be talked about, truth can come out - and THEN Mercury goes on to trine the North Node in Taurus - putting us on our best path forward. This is about stability/security. The right words/conversations/information/ideas will find us and we will find them. Something slips into place. Can help with our finances/resources/self-esteem/bring greater stability. Note this 'falling into place' comes after Mercury's final pass under Pluto - facing death ONE MORE TIME.


Venus, like Mercury, is walking her final path through sober Capricorn, 

 

finishing up her 40 day and 40 night retrograde. She has worked her butt off to help us/stabilize us/show us what we really value. Mars is now within orb of Venus and they will remain together for WEEKS, instead of their usual meeting of a few days. This is VERY potent energy. Good for relationships/balance. For what we want working well with what we have to do to get it. This is the merging of masculine and feminine energies. From February 16th to March 6th they will be nearly EXACT. They will cross 0 degrees Aquarius TOGETHER - where Jupiter met Saturn in December 2020 and the world started up again and where Venus will meet Pluto next year. So, they start out together in Cappy - things get stabilized/maybe more traditional/serious, they will face Pluto (death, transformation, truth)  TOGETHER, oh my, then they move into Aquarius, the NEW, together. In Capricorn, Mars will pass Venus, but then as she gets up to speed, she will pass Mars in Aquarius. This part is VERY IMPORTANT. We will talk about this in its own post. 

 

Saturn, of course, is still in Aquarius, the sign of his ancient rulership where he is still quite strong. Everything in Cappy right now - Mercury, Venus and Mars -  is answering to him. Jupiter is flying through Pisces. If you have planets/points in Pisces check your chart - or email me and I will check for you - and see what dates you might be able to gain benefit from him here. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces and very strong here. Neptune, modern ruler of Pisces, is in Pisces for a few more years and Jupiter is going to meet Neptune here in APRIL. This conjunction is this year's BIG aspect and hasn't happened since the 1850's. We will talk about this in its own post, too.


The Moon starts out the week in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation. In Taurus, she will make mostly smooth/positive aspects other than a few hours early Tuesday EST when she squares Saturn and then the Sun. Her closing aspect, a smooth trine to Pluto, late Tuesday night is a good one, so things started during this Moon could be said to bring a good outcome. The Moon goes void Tuesday night, 11:48PM EST and is void until Wednesday morning, 5:27AM EST. 

 

Life gets busier when the Moon gets into Gemini (Wednesday morning) and starts answering to Mercury. Gemini again brings a mixed bag and a nice closing aspect. So, things began under this Moon could be said to bring a good outcome. The Gemini Moon will last until she trines the Sun on 3:23AM EST Friday. She will be void most of Saturday and then move home to Cancer at 6:27PM EST. So, we don't want to be starting anything brand new during that long void Moon on Saturday, if we need/want something to come of it.


I hope something here is helpful. I am still finishing up a few store orders for my jewelry lines and tending to some health stuff, but hoping to get part II of the Nodes series up this week and the first part of the U.S. Pluto return. 


More about this week in the monthly HERE

 

We have TWO Earth trines this week folks so something is falling into place for ALL OF US.
