  • Mars in Aquarius opposite Vesta in Leo: 4 degrees
  • Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Mars in Aquarius, trine Vesta in Leo: 4 degrees

Mars/Vesta suggests actions blocked by opposing focus. Or, tension arises as an agitator steals the spotlight.

Mercury is the solution, as it akes harmonious aspects to Mars and Vesta. Innovative communication/ideas will be fired up by Mars, as words are easily put into action. The trine to Vesta adds focus and purpose to an ideal, cause or new area of learning. If there is resistance to action, put your intentions into words. Openly communicate what you’re going to start, and the enthusiasm that’s generated should help you move forward.

The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.

This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses. 

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.

Mars conjoins Pluto at 15 degrees Capricorn. This is the ultimate manifestation aspect: actions are a direct conduit for what’s ready to come into being, or what’s ready to end. This can be empowering or brutal, depending on your focus and level of awareness. The last Mars/Pluto conjunction occurred on November 10, 2014 at 11 degrees, and the next one will happen on April 26th, 2018 at 21 degrees. Each conjunction refers to the previous one, building on or completing what was initiated. Whether you’re wrapping something up or setting something in motion, know that what you do matters, on an immediate, physical level. Act accordingly – focused, direct, efficient. Because Mars/Pluto can be ruthless, awareness of consequences is essential.

Astrology of Now: Volcanic Forces

by  • 

Mars and Pluto are having their biannual conjunction — today, tomorrow, and the day after. Yes, that’s two warriors having a confab in ambitious, driven, earthy Capricorn; the planet of action, Mars, and the planet of the Underworld, Pluto, working together; war plus power. On the mundane level, watch the Mosul Offensive taking place over these days in Iraq. If you have planets in Libra, Capricorn, Cancer or Aries at 15°, pay attention. You can move the mountain now — maybe using some TNT. If you have planets at 15° in Pisces, Taurus, Virgo or Scorpio — you have may be able […]

October 13th, 2016: Mercury in Libra Square Mars, Ceres Rx into Aries

Mercury in Libra squares Mars, at 11 degrees Capricorn. Irritation and anger will colour today’s communication. The drive to make your point can upset the social balance. Too, someone may challenge your ideas. But due to Libra’s polite mask, disagreements may be expressed through a gritted-teeth smile. 

Ceres Rx reenters Aries. Since July 17th, 2016 she has nurtured the growth of values/resources/self-sufficiency in Taurus. Now, she revisits a beginning that may have occurred when she first entered Aries (April 14th, 2016). This Rx ingress will take you back to an initiation/resurrection. Is it still valid? Has its promise been fully developed? There’s a reason it’s up for review. With Mars (ruler of Aries) challenging Mercury, we can expect part of today’s tense discussions to be triggered by this review.
