Today we have Mars moving through the eclipse degree of 28 Leo. He is trining (
brakes off) Uranus in Aries and within one degree of a retrograde Mercury who he'll meet tomorrow. Mercury will be at 28 degrees Leo on Tuesday as he stations direct.
And the day after Mercury stations we have a Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune. Whew!
Today's most exact aspect is Mars trining Uranus. We talked about this a bit yesterday.
With our warrior planet Mars in brave and confident Leo (
at the powerful Eclipse degree of change, change, change!) and connecting by trine (
releasing roadblocks and smooth transitions) to revolutionary Uranus in independent Aries (
answering to Aries' ruler Mars) this is excellent energy to
1. truly express who we are - I am imagining women all over the world sitting in hair salons saying "cut it all off" or "dye these babies purple" - this aspect doesn't say we are going to like the outcome, just that we will feel the push to "go for it".
2. release outdated roles and outgrown restrictions
Anything that feels even remotely like a cage or collar is going to feel way too small.
3. make some kind of radical move, do (
Mars) something different or differently (
Uranus)
Now, the Moon goes void today at 12:30PM EDT until about 4PM
and it's a Saturday
and a holiday weekend here in the United States, so I am not sure what we can do productively with this today.
I know someone who just quit a new job she worked hard to get after one little thing went wrong yesterday - not such a good use of this radical energy. People prone to radical moves or people whose "go-to"emotion is anger anyway could really muck this up. But we all could, so stay frosty.
This is "shortcut" energy. Uranus can get us from here to there very quickly. And we have the courage and the strength to put something into action here. Something that tastes like authenticity. Something that tastes like freedom.
Now, Mercury is still retrograde, so this isn't about leaping off tall buildings and this is also excellent energy to get into a rip roaring argument or ACCIDENT. Keep this in mind, too.

Tomorrow, Mars meets Mercury. Passionate words could really move us forward. This is also the rip-roaring fight, have an accident energy - so use caution. Mercury and Mars will be close enough for the next couple weeks to feel this one.
I will post next week's forecast on Monday morning and we'll look at Mercury's station and that Pisces Full Moon. The eclipse energy isn't something that will be 'going away' anytime soon. It's a
process. It will take us through next February's Eclipse at 27 degrees Aquarius.
Remember we have the North Node in Leo.
We are creating our path forward. In whatever areas we have taken a backseat we are being pushed behind the wheel. We might drive the car right off the cliff that first spin around the block (
my advice is to stick to parking lots for a while longer), but who knows, maybe that free fall is where we finally find our voice.
