There’s a lot of…I’ll say, interesting activity happening right now. Most of it involves car “accidents”, bomb threats, and contemplations of (or preparations for) war or conflict of some sort. I have a feeling that much of this activity is being enhanced by our latest square transit.
Mars in Leo is currently in square aspect to Saturn in Scorpio, exact yesterday, September 9th, 2013 at 4:06a PDT. Though the exact moment has passed, it doesn’t yet seem to be minimizing the combustible effect of this transit.
Saturn in Scorpio is already a sign that the professional, business, cultural, and social standards, structures, and institutions of the world are in a change-or-die situation. The establishments that have “always” had the power – especially if they obtained that power by force or intimidation – are being asked to give it up to make way for a new emerging generation awakening to a Higher level of consciousness.
Transformation is being demanded of these old, outdated authorities, and while some of these long-held institutions are finding ways to adapt, others are not doing so well and are being phased out as result.
But these old, outdated institutions are not going down easily. There are some that are resisting and they are fighting hard to stay alive. Their fight is being strengthened by the presence of Mars in Leo as their aggression is ego-driven and Mars in Leo can be the epitome of ego-based aggression when challenged through square aspect. This dynamic reveals that many of these old institutions are operating from a survival mode mentality, doing their best to stay afloat doing more of what they’ve always done…and therein lies the problem.
The more they do what they’ve always done, the more they are hurting themselves.
These old institutions are being called upon to transform because the way they’ve always done things no longer works because it no longer serves the Higher and greater good. They are being asked to find a new way to do what they believe they are here to do, yet they unable or unwilling to consider new ways to go about their business. After all, they have a reputation to uphold.
Yet by acting out of their “need” to uphold their reputations, many of them are now finding that their reputations may not be a good as they once were. In fact, they may never have really been as good as they thought they were. Now they get to face the truth about that, and they do not like what they are hearing or seeing.
This is also happening on a personal level. In the areas of our lives in which we choose to be defined by old, outdated standards of professional and social status, we are having a very difficult time adapting to the Higher consciousness that is emerging. As we keep looking for familiar things to hold onto to sustain our perspectives of ourselves, we are finding there is less and less to grasp as Saturn is further influenced by its journey through the sign of Scorpio. As result, we may be looking at the emerging world Truth as a threat to our existence and through our victim stance, fear-based anger is emerging.
For all of us, there is a noticeable lack of patience in the areas of our lives in which we are holding on to old ways of being that no longer serve us. And there is a noticeable lack of tolerance for the circumstances and relationships that no longer serve or support our emerging inner Truths. This rising anger is the influence of Mars in Leo being pressured by the transforming presence of Saturn in Scorpio.
The abrupt increase in outwardly-expressed anger is apparent in the rapid increase of distracted driving and escalated violence incidents and threats over these last few days. This Leo Mars-Scorpio Saturn square isn’t the cause of these issues, but is certainly a catalyst for the increase and intensification of them. It is quite concerning.
We are likely to feel the effects of this Leo Mars-Scorpio Saturn square transit through September 15th. The best way I can suggest to deal with all of this is to do the following:
1) Take time to face your own resistance to transformation in your own life. Notice where you are being pushed or pressured by Saturn in Scorpio to make changes in your life, and do your best to identify what you are fighting for if you notice you are fighting. Are you fighting because you’re resisting letting go of something that no longer serves you well, or are you fighting for your emerging inner truth to be expressed?
2) There may be others around you who are having a much harder time during this time of change than you are. Recognize that they may be resisting certain truths about themselves more than you are, and have compassion for them rather than reacting in kind with fear or anger.
3) Please do not use the challenges others are facing as excuses for not facing your own. This is not the time to blame others for your challenges and difficulties. See where you can take responsibility for where you are in your life’s journey, then face your own demons and conquer them. With Mercury now in Libra as of yesterday, you can find the help you need to do this soul-searching if you ask for it.
4) Stand up for your truth and stand up for what rings true to you once you find it. With Uranus in Aries, you’ll likely find that as you gain clarity about your own personal convictions, you can seek and find others who hold similar truths. Together, you can make a difference as there is strength in numbers. Don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
