There may not be any rain or snow here in California right now, but astrologically speaking, there’s a flurry of activity with five aspects and events occurring within a 36-hour period.
Let’s take these one by one, shall we?
Mars in Aquarius square Saturn in Scorpio Saturday late Saturday morning (11:32a PST) has us recognizing the effect the events of the world have been having on us. All that we have believed to be “the way things are” is being challenged right now.
Systems and structures that have long been in place as “the ways” to do things are now being reviewed and changes are coming if they aren’t already in effect. These systems are large scale – likely on a societal or cultural level, not so much on the individual level.
That isn’t to say that this aspect won’t be felt on an individual level. On both the individual and collective levels, this may be an especially challenging time with the Scorpio energy in play, as there is likely to be great emotional investment in the structures that need to be changed or discarded.
Mercury enters Capricorn late on Saturday (11:32p PST), shifting our thoughts and words away from growth and expansion and into our goals and ambitions.
This isn’t just a stand-alone shift into this new energy. Mercury in Capricorn makes a positive trine aspect with Jupiter in Taurus mid-Sunday morning (10:05a PST), bringing the opportunity to make actual and tangible plans to manifest an increase and expansion of financial-material abundance. In other words, it’s a chance for each and all of us to make some effective plans for increasing the flow of money and material resources in our lives.
However, Mercury in Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries Sunday in the mid-afternoon (3:23p PST), and whatever plans we put in place earlier in the day begin to show their effects rather quickly as the changes necessary for our abundance to come through become almost instantly apparent. For the changes we want to have happen – for the abundance to come into our lives – we have to be willing to let go of and/or change a few things that have been in place for a while.
And if that isn’t enough happening in a 36-hour period, the Moon reaches maximum fullness in Cancer opposite the Capricorn Sun late Sunday night (11:30p PST). This Full Moon shines light on the emotional motivations behind our newly-established plans and ambitions, which may be rooted in our childhood upbringing/past family dynamics or our present family and domestic matters.
Full Moon in Cancer is a powerful and emotional Full Moon, as we become astonishingly aware of how much our ambitions and goals mean to us on an emotional level…or maybe how our pursuit of our ambitions affects our emotional well-being.
Some of us may find that we work so hard, we have neglected or begun to neglect our emotional needs. Some of us may find that we’ve been so focused on emotional fulfillment, we’ve neglected to do what is needed to actually achieve our goals.
There’s a lot to take in for this next day and a half, so here’s some points to remember:
- Which systems or structures around you are being challenged to change? Which one(s) of them are you emotionally invested in?
- What aspects of your financial and material resources are you committed to taking on this year? Have you created a plan yet?…
- …And to achieve those financial-material goals, what in or about your life is going to need to be changed or eliminated?
- What have you been working hard at lately? Has your work caused you to neglect your emotional connections, your family relationships or your home life?…
- …Or have you been deeply involved with your emotional connections with family or home matters? To the point where you haven’t been doing anything to achieve your goals or ambitions regarding your career or life’s work?
Enjoy the ride over these next couple of days. Make the most of the opportunities to answer these questions now, as they may lead to a wonderful and prosperous year ahead for you.
Until next post…
~ Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
