Whew! In the past hours Mars took the lead from Saturn in Libra, completing the conjunction and setting his sights on Scorpio. If the background noise in your psyche has been sounding like gears without grease unkindly meshing together, that noise fades. If a roadblock or delay appeared on every road pursued, signs for appropriate detours or new pathways appear. If frustration seemed hell bent on destroying motivation, renewed vigor toward your highest aspirations reappears. The fog in the mind, evaporates in the light of refreshed points of view.
Yes, the Mars to Saturn conjunction is done. Actualize the past, apply gained experience and the learning provided by life and look for constructive, progressive applications to engage. That’s what Mars would do.
Mars in Scorpio seems one of those scary placements that is always greeted with raised eyebrows, suspicions of nefarious activities and maybe even fear of one’s own greatest resources. Still, Mars enjoys a certain “at home” feeling when traveling Scorpio because of his rulership with the sign. Feared and avoided, Mars in Scorpio can add stick to wickets. Embraced and applied with fearless abandon, Mars in Scorpio promises to kick the can down the road with creative, progressive and evolutionary results. Mars in Scorpio reminds us all that it is time to focus on our inner resources and pursue our greatest desires with unlimited passion for the effort while allowing the cosmos to indicate course corrections as an antidote to micro managing, forcing fits or attempting to manipulate outcomes.
In a recent post I noted Saturn to Shapley 8, occurring in late October, and Jupiter opposing the Great Attractor three times (end of August into the first week of September, end of the first full week of October and mid-April next year). Mars will soon align with Shapley 8 and in so doing, Mars provides the preview of galactic coming attractions that are coming soon.
Actually, on August 27th, Mars aligns with Shapley 8 at virtually the same time Jupiter opposes the Great Attractor. Galactically inspired electromagnetic/gravitational force fields reach a helpful apex. Given that each person’s energy comes from the cooperative electromagnetic, plasma workings of the chakras within, a person’s energy field has a natural reaction to the intensified galactic energy boosts. The planet of fortune, talent and gained knowledge (Jupiter) and the planet of get off your posterior and do it (Mars) act as crystals, focusing the irresistible forces coming from the Great Attractor and Shapley 8. The flux and flow are there for those who can follow and the underscoring notes a need for determined dharma.
Actually the forces are applied to all people and every living thing. Those who resist will find they are inner tube rafting, but instead of enjoying the effortless flow downstream, they insist upon paddling upstream. Imagine yourself floating in life. Where do the invisible forces impel you to wander? Instead of wondering if the direction that you cannot control has merit, why not enjoy the ride, take notes and see if maybe the trajectory offered better suits your objectives. Sure you want to write the great novel, but what if the motivational steps you mentioned at a panel discussion need to become ink on a page, or photons on a Kindle? Then, with your motivational steps out there for all to see, you might have no recourse than to write that novel.
Here’s another way these energies might work: Let’s say you’re trying to decide if you should take a class or move to a new location and some contingency sounding like, “if I knew I had the money, I’d do it” shows up, blocking the energetic flow. Flip it. Decide to do it and locate the means to accomplish the objective. With decisions made and intentions set, options appear. These points rarely offer insights to tentative speculation. However, they love working with those locked in and loaded up, promising to unleash a heap of inner potential.
Perhaps the current you encounter feels like a big deal. It should. In fact, actions assumed under transits to galactic components generally are incomprehensibly massive. While shifting your life, the realization that your actions affect the planet and the planet affects the entirety of Creation stares you in the eyes. That’s why most airlines do not let unknown travelers book a seat in the emergency exit row. They need to look in your eyes and see that you’re up to it. If show up for muster and pass inspection, you get more leg room on your journey. If not, you’ll be lucky to get peanuts.
So, ask Mars and Jupiter while transiting galactic goodies, “Are you going to stretch out to your maximum ability and invoke all of your potential?” The forces in play may not tell you that your agreement will place you in the nucleus, center stage, with all lights beaming upon you, demanding that you recite brilliance you’re not even sure you’ve accessed. They require you tune into your inner Google. Perhaps if you look through all your inner archives, you might locate a misplaced insight or even better, tap the stream of incoming perpetually free insight offered by these potent galactic nuclei. Wouldn’t that be cool?
I can think of but one way to find out for sure. Grab your tube, jump in and float with the stream of consciousness. Warning: The Universe assumes no responsibility for what you may do or not do with insight that may change the world and evolve collective consciousness.
Not to worry, whatever Mars and Jupiter direct with their galactic affiliations in August, comes back for review, editing and revision in November. By the time April comes around, despite the intensity, you should be accustomed to the fit.
Stay tuned. There’s another progress-promising Uranus-Pluto square next month.
