In the rear view mirror is the recent Mars to Saturn opposition from Gemini to Sagittarius. While technically behind us, the effects of the transit continue to stir an acerbic feeling in the airwaves during the next two days, for a bundle of astrological reasons. The seven-day planet forecast predicts a measure of mellow ahead. But first, a few final stracky things remain requiring hitching to our collective consciousness.
Most notably, Mars, clear of Saturn, senses a more open-minded vibe to his recent exact alignment opposing the Galactic Center. Innovative ideas delivered during the alignment feel more manageable on the mental front. Now, the previously overwhelming, multilayered, difficult to pitch concepts that swirled in from galactic destinations make a touch more sense. Now, it’s possible to jot notes, embellish those notes, and commence definition and planning.
The Moon just entered Virgo. There she is comfortable when listing and prioritizing. Write down all the ideas, things and details demanding your conscious attention. Create a top to bottom list of most important to least important. Highlight those ideas that sing to your soul and promise that if you engage, you’ll feel productive, worthy of the task, and full of good feeling for all the effort and accomplishment.
Pretty much simultaneously, early Friday (2 June), the Moon in Virgo and Mars in Gemini precisely align with Chiron in Pisces. Acknowledge incoming information, organizing that into tasks at hand, then take the initial steps - even if seemingly a trifle on the impulse side of things. Chiron pays it off with a comforting inner sensation of feeling simultaneously tired from expended effort and satisfied with the reach the soul extended to the incoming galactic impulses. It’s a good feel. This week’s calendric weekend might just offer heightened relief on the energetic and emotional fronts.
Yes, it’s been testy. Venus in Aries made her contribution as she recently completed transits to the rabble-rousing combo of Uranus and Eris just as Mars and Saturn matched wits regarding what could and should be done in the short term to manifest maximum Galactic Center input. The ideas sourcing from the core of our solar system pack a wallop and require a time of adjustment to wrap around their magnitude and essence.
As we travel the first few days of June (specifically the 3rd to the 4th), more mental magic is conjured as the Sun in Gemini aligns with the centaur Asbolus (3rd), then proceeds to align with Ceres. Let’s say from now to next Monday the Sun-Asbolus alignment reports a need for absolute attention to the real world details at hand. Pay attention to all circumstances life presents that require a change of plans. While inconvenient, making the adjustment might work out better in the long run. Flight changed? Roll with it. Power failure and you cannot pump gas in your vehicle so you can run off to the nearest trail head for an escape? Stay home, adjust the temperature, dim the lights and cogitate regardless. The venue was changed for an event you were attending. No problem. Proceed to the perfect location for the result you require.
Then, as the Sun and Ceres align, state your case, whatever it is. State it clearly, without charge, anger free, but full of facts. Eliminate hyperbole (or downright distorted info) and ensure your claims stand on the highest moral ground possible.
As these alignments occur, Mars inches toward his next sign sake as Venus glides toward hers. Their combined, nearly simultaneous sign change portends a more mellow era for the next weeks. True, situations still continue to shake out and new revelations result. However, the flow feels more supportive and easier to ride as Mars moves into Cancer on June 5th. Mars’ change, combined with Venus entering Taurus with hours, a shift of reactionary modalities from the mental to the sentient results.
For those perplexing over the sense that all the details have not turned the tumblers on the lock of the needed mystery revelation, as next week begins, shift focus and align awareness to the prevailing trends. Instead of forging ahead with logic, mnemonics and data speculations, drop your attention into your body.
Find regulation within your breath. Pull your body vertical. Notice the rate of your heart. Tune into the barometer in the belly. No need to interpret any of those physical realizations. Simply feel them. Apply the body-grounded response into a “lean to” approach. When encountering a person, situation or thing, do the combined reactions cause you to want to lean into what stands before you? Or does the aggregate awareness urge you to lean back and preserve your space, sensibilities and energy?
Feeling the flow is where mellow resides. A measure of calm offers consolation to recent mental franticness. A sense of having a firm stand on planet Earth replaces sensations of imbalance, dizziness and instability. Trust the emotional response - and without question - of any given moment.
With a bit of mental preparation and a welcoming approach to the last lingering bits of supercharged, urgent downloads, when new horizons present themselves starting as early as next week, and when those directions are viewed with grounded sentient perceptions, the compass resets and more clearly indicates. Then, on June 8th, Mars as seen from the Sun, crosses where Earth stands most distant from the Sun. Even our home planet chills out. Find the grounded flow. Enjoy the momentum shift.
More soon.
