  • Mars Rx in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (2 deg)
  • Vesta direct in Sagittarius (22 deg)

Mars makes the second of three squares to Uranus. The disruption or break for freedom is not over. Despite the flash-bang quality of this energy, this is an extended influence. It’s about detaching from the past, but that detachment may require more than the usual amount of effort. 

Mars Rx specifically means try again or review your actions. What are your true motivations and where are you going? If you’re refusing to change, this Rx could be the harder shake – the jolt that you’ve been trying to avoid. Or, it could be the second chance that you’ve been waiting for. 

As I wrote in this post:

“The abrupt shove will introduce Uranus’ seven years of change in Taurus…Mars Rx in Aquarius intensifies specific actions so the move towards independence can happen (sometimes it takes extra effort to break away from the past). Or, Mars Rx can delay actions/progress if the impulse is poorly timed.”

Here are the three squares:

  • May 16th: Mars square Uranus (0 deg Taurus)
  • August 1st: Mars Rx square Uranus (2 deg Taurus)
  • September 18th: Mars square Uranus Rx (1 deg Taurus)

Vesta direct can widen Vesta Rx’s tunnel vision.  If you’ve been fixated on a truth, ideal or hope since Vesta stationed Rx (May 8th, 2018) her direct motion suggests you may be ready to look further. What has Vesta Rx taught you? Has your faith been renewed or are you now disappointed? Either way, it’s time to move on because Sagittarius’ horizons are always widening. Keep searching for new truths, new ideals. Expanding faith will feed Vesta’s flame. 

With direct and Rx emphasized on the same day, you may feel the tension between looking forward but dealing with delays/reviews. Everything does not always move in the same direction. You can deal with this by looking ahead where it feels natural to do so, and accepting that the wheels are spinning in another part of your life. Know that in a few weeks (once Mars stations direct) there will be progress here too.

    Aquarius Lunar Eclipse: Clearing the Air

    by  • 

    This Full Moon is a lunar eclipse, when relationships are often due for some reevaluation. And Mars, the planet of competition, war, and aggression, has been retrograde in recent weeks, and frustration has been building. So in order to do what’s needed to maintain vibrant and satisfying social connections, we’ll have to pay alms to Mars as well.

    The post Aquarius Lunar Eclipse: Clearing the Air appeared first on Big Sky Astrology with April Kent.

    Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius and Mars Rx

    by  • 

    Eclipse.jpg

    The July 27th Full Moon eclipse at 4 deg Aquarius (4:20 PM EDT/1:20 PM PDT) conjoins Mars Rx. It will be connected to any events triggered by Mars’ preceding conjunctions with the South Node (June 8th and July 20th) and Mars’ future South Node conjunction (September 6th, 2018). 

    Mars Rx opposing the Leo Sun means this is the halfway point of Mars’ retrograde cycle. Whatever Mars Rx has been stirring up so far will be clarified under the light of this Full Moon – this eclipse will be a turning point regarding efforts to detach from the past or intensify actions to bring something to culmination. There will be nothing passive about what happens. You may have to act quickly, or maybe you’ll be pushed to redo/revisit (Mars Rx). 

    Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) will square this eclipse from Taurus, adding a shot of unpredictability. Endings/goodbyes/results will hit suddenly. Uranus/Aquarius’ theme of liberation will be emphasized – consider any sharp turn of events to be a necessary break from the past. Clarity will be thrust upon you, as well as freedom. If results are severe enough, this won’t feel like freedom. Rest assured that it is. 

    The Sun (ruler of the North Node-path forward) trines Chiron Rx in Aries (ruled by Mars), underlining the point that what’s happening is necessary and may ultimately be a relief. The confrontation or breakaway will help you move through what makes you afraid or vulnerable. It may even boost your confidence. For some, this could be a crazy leap into the unknown that is part of your new agenda of radical healing. Again, that Mars theme – courage, action, anger, doing something definitive. Chiron and Mars are both Rx, so maybe you’re finally confronting a painful issue that’s been simmering for awhile. 

    Also encouraging: we have an exact trine between Venus in Virgo and Pluto Rx in Capricorn on July 27th, just a few hours after the eclipse. There will be practical empowerment happening in the background- a gentle strengthening of what you know is right and good for you. 

    Mars’ inclusion and the square to Uranus does hint at the potential for accidents or violence, so use caution. Venus in Virgo’s activation means you can be smart about what’s happening – you’ll know what’s right and what isn’t. There’s a difference between liberation and destruction, and even if some of what happens is out of your control, you can sill formulate a backup plan now (since you know something’s coming at you). 

    Be safe, be smart and get ready for change.
