Not long after Mercury turns direct in a few days, the second of four personal planet power aspects to the largest and most visually stunning gaseous giants occurs. On the 10th Venus in Virgo squares off with Saturn in Sagitarrius... this following last month’s (September 25th ) Mars square Saturn. For those feeling that something must be made from this year to salvage it; for those feeling the momentum of the mojo must march on; for those feeling an obscure soulful scratching somewhere on the inside, this planet push is for you!
Let’s examine the details:
As Mercury turns direct in early Libra, she/he/it stands virtually conjunct the lunar nodes. There must be some message of personal evolution, soul yearning, dharma distribution in progress. You could:
> Contemplate what you’ve always wanted to do that would fill the sails of your soul to the fullest... and for whatever reason that does not matter, you’ve not done so yet.
> Reach out to those and only those, who support your spirit’s yearnings, and who understand the implications of your yearning in the real world and can actively contribute or render a hand.
> Cheerfully offer your best to those who appear on your path who possess aligned objectives, equal mirth when it comes to manifesting the mundane, and consciously collaborate to create great take-aways for all.
On the 10th, Venus, as mentioned above, squares Saturn. This aspect tends to get a bad rap, but serves the higher purposes with impeccability and a desire to organize and order all advancing aspirations. To honor Venus as she angles at Saturn:
> Assess what you do not have that you require to engage and complete the next phase of real world and spiritual development.
> Budget what it would take in material resource, energy and time to accumulate what is required to move ahead in the real world and on spiritual planes.
> Develop a clear plan to accumulate needed resources and get going on it. Note the progress of accretion and accumulation each and every day. Incidentally, decreasing debt is akin to increasing savings, and in fact, may offer more gain in less time.
Come October 17th, Mars aligns with Jupiter. If organized, operating with a sophisticated strategy that aligns with the higher calling and belief system substrate, you’re good to go. If not, take into consideration that the aggressive urge to conquer life may be a symptom of “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” knee-jerk response to feeling you lag behind the prescribed timeline of accomplishment deadlines. Impetuous pushes and the urge to level the playing field until it tips in your favor, are indications that the preflight checklist must be thoroughly completed.
With Mars to Jupiter:
> Break up mountain-sized goals into bite-sized molehill chunks of work.
> Look for multiple right answers to each situation you encounter. Select the right answer that best matches with the original goal.
> Accept adjustments, edits, redesign and retool instructions with grace and dignity. Take a moment to set aside defensiveness. Then realign with the original objective and then, get going when the energy feels like the perfect fit.
As October wraps up and Venus comes to align with Jupiter on the 25th, Mars remains conjunct those two shining planets within a rather modest orb. This triumvirate of planets in Virgo portends positive and productive results.
> Dust off your concept of cornucopia. Harvest the bounty of work well done.
> Monitor the progress of all objectives. Allow time to savor and honor each successful step along the way.
> Realize the clock is ticking. However, work is best accomplished when the energy flow naturally feeds task requirements. Work to establish deadlines by determining how much energy will be required to fulfill the goal as opposed to thinking in terms of “people hours.”
When receiving a new idea, spend at least four minutes and forty-three seconds focused on the idea to capture it in its entirely. The detail behind this, an x-ray pulse in space that allows full exposure of the latent image in the mind.
When dealing with the way life often goes, plan for Murphy’s Law, but do not expect it.
When results appear, be gracious, give thanks, take the goodies, pay it forward and go further.
Consider that if you must deliberate on a decision three times, there is not yet enough data to make a “conscious” or “logical” conclusion. If you cannot trust your guts, you orbit in a holding pattern until more data arrives in the queue.
Finally, to honor the recently departed Yogi Berra, “when you get to the fork in the road, take it.”
