this week has been a fascinating one hasn’t it? all week long we have been- and are still in the midst of- an alignment between the conscious mind and intellect (mercury), the conscious will and drive (mars) and the mystic and dissolver of boundaries (neptune). all three of these planets are in the sign of pisces, amplifying the neptunian dreaminess and mysticism, as well as confusion, deception and denial.
this alignment is interesting because mercury and mars have certain energies that are completely opposite of the pisces/neptune vibe dominating the sky. mercury is the conscious mind and intellect and he typically wants to communicate in linear, logical and rational ways. mars is the conscious will and drive and he typically wants to assert himself, take action and express anger. yet both of these planets are in watery, sensitive and surrendering pisces. with the mind placed here rationality is not the forte- it’s dreams, intuition, and psychic impressions that dominate. with the will placed here at best we are a spiritual warrior, at worst we are passive aggressive and in denial of what needs to be dealt with. add to the fact that both are conjunct neptune and we have this pisces energy amplified and the mind and will become more nebulous and confused. what direction should we take? what Truth should we speak? what are our dreams and how do we make them real? the liminality of life is very present right now.
in addition to all this the asteroid Goddesses juno and ceres have been a focus this week as well. with ceres stationary direct on monday themes involving home, family, safety and security have been up BIG TIME. with juno aspecting mercury and mars a focus of our communication and thinking has likely been on relationships, commitments and contractual arrangements in our lives. with juno in capricorn there is a yearning for stability and order, but with the neptune nebulousness going on we may find structures and old orders of being dissolving before our very eyes! it’s definitely an interesting week ;)
pay close attention to what happens tomorrow- as mercury and mars align by degree mid-morning pacific standard time. if something needs to be said or done and has not been fully said or done yet- tomorrow is your day! of course with all the pisces action it is highly recommended that you pay attention to your dreams, intuitions, psychic impressions and synchronicities playing out in your life. messages from the Unconscious are but a breathe away! all you have to do is quiet down the monkey mind and allow the information to come through.
as my dear friend and fellow astrologer chani pointed out, this is a great time to channel your creativity through words and communication. if you are a writer of anything creative, mystical or romantic- get to it! if we can utilize the mental energy of mercury and the directed and action-oriented energy of mars we can focus on and implement our dreams and creativity right now. we just have to make our way through the neptune fog so that we are clear on what it is we think, desire, need and want ;)
until saturday night we are in the dark moon vibes- purge, release and make room for something new. new moon in aquarius is exact on saturday at 11:20pm PST. this new moon is pretty focused in it’s energy as there are not a lot of aspects to the sun and moon (check the lunar insight for more in-depth info on this lunation). focus your intention on the area of life highlighted by the new moon (check weekly horoscopes to see where the new moon falls for you by sign) and get ready to start a new chapter in your life!
blessings on your sacred path…
