Mars enters Aries on December 31st, giving us all a fresh surge of courage and passion as we face down the New Year.

Mars rules Aries, so the planet of action, anger, sex and initiative is at full strength. Excellent for jump-starting a new project, regime or lifestyle. Or, for making the first move. Where Aries sits in your chart is where Mars will be heating things up. However, Mars in Aries is impatient and impulsive, so staying power is not always great.

Yes, Mars will be making difficult squares to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (dates and degrees below) but I see these as challenges to be met and corners to be turned. If any planetary energy is ready to power you through a challenge, it’s Mars in Aries. You may experience these squares as frustrations, blocks or confrontations with others (I’ll go into more detail in the daily posts) and you will have to slow down. But Saturn and Pluto can be the grit that gives you traction and tests your courage. And, Saturn especially will be the test that proves if what you’ve started will continue. Will you commit (Saturn) to this course of action (Mars)?

Here are the aspects Mars in Aries will make:

  • Jan 8th: square Mercury in Capricorn (4 deg)

  • Jan 18th: trine Venus in Sagittarius (11 deg)

  • Jan 21st: square Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Jan 25th: trine Jupiter in Sagittarius (16 deg)

  • Jan 29th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (16 deg)

  • Feb 1st: square Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Feb 7th: sexitle Mercury in Aquarius (25 deg)

  • Feb 9th: square the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

  • Feb 13th: conjunct Uranus (29 deg)

  • Feb 13th: opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

  • Feb 14th: Taurus ingress

December 20th, 2018: Pause and Confirm

by  • 

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Sun (28 deg)

  • Sagittarius Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct can bring up some frustrating blocks to forward momentum. Money, security or the need to take stock of an existing situation will be incompatible with an ideal, hope or area of expansion. And yet both must be integrated – you’re still moving towards something new (or broadening your reach) while stabilizing what you already have. Perhaps your foundation needs attention; this will enable you to move forward from a place of greater assurance.

Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to Uranus can help as you’re encouraged to keep putting energy into that new/innovative/liberating development. While this is not entirely new (Uranus was previously at this sign and deg around April 2018) it’s still a bit of a risk – there’s excitement and trepidation. Trust that you can work with this, even as you briefly slow down today in order to secure material resources or establish your values (there could be some core issues that need to be reaffirmed before you move on).

November 6th, 2018: The Crossroads

  • Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in pIsces (13 deg)

  • Uranus Rx re-enters Aries

  • Uranus Rx in Aries square the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (29 deg)

Sun/Neptune

The Sun/Neptune trine hints at the flow for the upcoming Scorpio New Moon. Neptune dissolves boundaries and Scorpio is about going as deep/getting as close as possible. This energy enables complete intimacy or complete immersion in something that you’re mildly obsessed with. It can be absolutely compassionate (Scorpio does not shrink from the darkness) and healing. But it can also enable an unhealthy immersion, so before you dive in, make sure you really want to go there.

Uranus and the Nodes

While the above aspect is significant (and can indicate New Moon events a couple of days early) the big news today is Uranus’ return to Aries and square to the Nodes (newly into Capricorn/Cancer).

The last time Uranus hit 29 deg Aries was on May 14th/15th (just before its Taurus ingress). There may have been an urgent break for freedom, or a push into new territory. As Uranus returns to that degree, disruption of Taurus values/resources/security has temporarily been on hold because something from the past still needs to be shaken loose.

You may have encountered this from April to May 2018 – a spark that needed to be lit, or a new door that needed to be kicked open. Perhaps you needed to venture into new territory and claim your independence. In some way, that ending/beginning has not been completed. Before you can continue to redefine your resources/values, you need to take one last kick at the past.

The South Node enters Saturn-ruled Capricorn and the North Node enters Cancer (ruled by the Moon). Issues from the past (South Node) will involve rules, traditions, authority, fears and repression. Issues to develop (your path to the future – North Node) will involve needs, security and inner (as opposed to externally defined) reality. Parental issues (Capricorn as father and Cancer as mother/child) may also be prominent. The Nodes will exit Cancer/Capricorn for Gemini/Sagittarius on May 5th, 2020.

Uranus’ square to the Nodes adds tremendous emphasis to this moment. You may need to liberate (Uranus) yourself from the rules/fears/definitions of the past before you can embrace an emotionally authentic and secure future. The square aspect means this will be a crisis (you may be afraid to break loose or you may need to time the break carefully) but it will be essential. Perhaps you need to come to terms with years of disruption, escape and instability (Uranus) before you can create comfort and security (Cancer) in your future.

Too, you may be hit by a disruptive event that forcefully boots you into a new chapter.

You’re at the crossroads now. Behind you lies old structures and definitions. Ahead lies something that will resonate in your gut – real satisfaction and a connection to what you need.

Although not exact, Uranus Rx at 0 deg Taurus will square the Nodes at 0 deg Aquarius/Leo before the shift into new signs. So the crossroads will begin with breaking away from old values/resources as a turning point between past issues of alienation/detachment (South Node in Aquarius) versus moving ahead to a place of pride/power (North Node in Leo). It will be interesting to see if you feel the shift, once everything changes signs.
