Creating through Kindness | Mars enters Cancer

Using our energy to take action in the weeks ahead, could be like moving through a mud bath, as feisty Mars exits from persuasive Gemini, and enters into soft-hearted Cancer (the Crab) on Sunday June 4. What we do and create during the next six weeks, will be fueled with loving kindness, gooey mushiness and domestic […]

May 30th, 2017: Making Progress

  • Mars in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Sun in Gemini sextile Vesta in Leo: 9 degrees
  • Mercury in Taurus trine Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees

Mars/Uranus triggers a hit of ingenuity, plus the courage to do something with it. Actions are driven by restlessness, and would normally be quite scattered, were it not for the Mars/Saturn opposition.  The ease of the sextile means impatient/risky efforts have a positive outlet. You can attempt something different without tripping. This is one aspect in the top of the Kite, described here

Vesta adds focus to the Sun in Gemini’s multitasking. One choice is easier to make – watch for a pull in a certain direction. The Sun rules Leo, adding extra shine and purpose to Vesta’s devotion. Creative work, and pride in what you’re bringing to life, is fuelled by new information, discussions or contacts. 

Mercury/Juno suggests calm relationship discussions, or signing a contract between partners. Words support a mutual agreement, and all the basics are covered. There are no fancy promises or convoluted details, just straightforward ideas you can shake on. 

This is an excellent day for progress, cooperation and motivation.  

 

May 29th, 2017: Mars in Gemini Opposite Saturn

  • Mars in Gemini opposes Saturn Rx in Sagittarius: 25 degrees

The pressure to act or choose increases because of restrictions. You’re blocked or denied by external rules, or someone’s authority. And yet, there’s something you have to do. There’s a responsibility – work to be done. As a culmination aspect, it can deliver endings, results of previous work, or results of what hasn’t been done.  

The harder you push, the more resistance there is. Brute force and temper tantrums won’t work. You may be so angry, but are not allowed to express it. What to do? Suss out the path you need to take, and the choice you need to make. There can only be one (Saturn narrows your options, especially when he’s Rx). Do what you have to do. Be calm, be persistent. 

Another possibility is swinging between full stop (Saturn) and scattered efforts (Mars in Gemini). Hopping wildly from here to there, then running into a wall and giving up. The best way to deal with any opposition is to find that balance point. Aim for a slow, steady release of energy. Focus, then take it one step at a time. 

This opposition is the backbone of the Kite I discussed here. That’s a good thing, because nothing says “backbone” like Saturn. This is one of the strongest aspects in existence. You know what you’re up against – act accordingly. Your mature (Saturn) actions (Mars) are the release point of that Kite.
