Today through the Moon conjunct Saturn we experience the first BIG concentration of Grand Fire Trine energies involving planets moving through Aries making trines to Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo. This long term Fiery energy harmony will be a brightening influence for us all in the house life areas they influence. We should increasingly be able to utilize the heart strengths we've cultivated through the Jupiter trine Saturn up to now, turning to new ways of doing our Being with inspiration, clarity, warmth, and initiative if we open to these, however they may manifest. With Venus making the first set of trines, it should show as new relationships and new ways of relating to others.
Venus is the first of the inner planets to cross the Aries span trine Jupiter and Saturn. Up to now we've only had brief points in recent weeks when the Moon brought "tendencies" to help us feel what's now begun to happen as a continuous influence. Though Venus is still wide to Saturn, today the Moon in mid Leo powers up what is called "a translation of light," drawing the energies of its recent trine to Venus forward through the conjunction it's making to Saturn today, which kicks off the impending Venus exactly trine both Jupiter and Saturn in a short time March 8-9.
Thus the Moon is initiating the Fiery energies that will be with us for a long time to come, offering many new vistas and hope for a brighter future, as well as intense positivity for those open to it. Currently, our Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces sectors are harmonized, with Mars supporting by its quintile to Venus and Mercury retrograde quintile to Jupiter, thus introducing a unique and favorable Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Scorpio energy to the mix. Enjoy feeling the possibilities!
Since Saturn is the nozzle for all the other planetary energies right now, the point in the month when the Moon conjuncts it makes its lessons very obvious and focused. If you're in doubt as to what Saturn is trying to teach you, today is the day to feel its mature heart strength restructuring how you do your Being. It is on 21 Leo, so whatever you're learned that you now feel cannot be sustained indefinitely, start a long term reorganization or restructuring, and do what must be done to step back from needless expenditure of your life energies. You an find out more about what's going on this week at this link.
The cluster of planets opposing Saturn is led by Jupiter, and closed by whatever planet(s) happen to be in Aries. So whatever experiences we're about to go through will begin with a vision, a truth, or something that liberates us, according to the degree and aspects made by Jupiter. Then we move through the planetary experiences until we finish with Aries, offering great opportunities for tremendous initial bursts of energy into new things.
Remember, we're going through a long term process of "spiritual linkage through emotional distress," and through this receiving blessings after the ending of things we can't take with us into our future. We've been shown the need to cultivate forms of self-sufficiency, and tamed and trained at least some of our vital energies. More recently, we saw a potential form of serving our world (and ourselves as well), and now see what can and cannot be sustained. It's all leading us to freedom from old social "rigidities" through the joy of fellowship. I would think that could mean new friends, new group work, new ideals leading us to new relationships.
This will all be very self-evident over the next few weeks, when the Fire trines from Venus, Sun, Mercury, and then Mars light up our lives. Enjoy the quickening that Fire brings to everything it touches! We're being shown a grand harmony of Electric Fire, Solar Fire, and Fire by Friction, the three "Cosmic Fires" that give life to our entire system. This should help us all to feel more alive than we have in a long time. Fire is like that!

...Aries bursting into new things.. How about opening a new business I have in mind? My present job is fine, but I get bored. My boos said it will be ok, as long as I stay. Robert, do you think I can start in April?

Hi Larissa - Just don't jump the gun in usual Aries fashion, and any new beginnings should be satisfactory. April is a good time for beginning things, but make sure the Moon is in a favorable aspect with the significator of the business.

I am a May 29, 1974 Gemini who had the worst luck since Jan! I have finally come out of it, and have experienced one of the best weeks ever. Is there more goos times to come?
Posted by: Christie | May 01, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Hi Christie - Well, no doubt it's been a wild ride, with Pluto opposed your Mercury and Uranus conjunct your ultra-compassionate Jupiter in Pisces. Your Moon's also heavily affected by either Uranus or Pluto depending on where it is (mid-to-late Virgo or early Libra) I'll bet you have great times ahead with your planets.

Hi Robert -- since Mars will be in Aries May 16, can I start my mass production now or should I be better prepared and launch on May 16? I am extremely busy now with organizational issues, trying to make things perfect and ready. Would then this week be ok for planting seeds and setting meetings? Thank you

Its me again. Robert, now something personal -- what would you say about Scorpios who are persueing me like guerillas. No offense to our readers here, but Scorpio people scare me at first glance. no, I am not intimmidated a bit, but deep inside i sense danger from these people. Since always. Would it be wise to step back? I do attract these intense creatures, they stp like a deer in a headlight and ai know alreday - Scorpio is approaching me. I am sick of it. I want to meet Libra man with Aries Moon. Where are those people?
Posted by: Larissa | May 02, 2007 at 07:18 PM
Hi Larissa - I'd wait until after the Mars square Pluto and next New Moon to launch anything. Probably would do it May 21 depending. This is the time to prepare, so yes, do your meetings etc.
Your Moon in Scorpio no doubt attracts Sun in Scorpio people. That's a natural. Evolved Scorpios are miracles of magnetic enlightened power. But if someone spooks you, then don't go there. Examine your inner aversions, and elevate your view to see what your inner self is teaching your logical mind. As for any given combination, some are better, some are worse, but there is no combo safe if they're not somewhat enlightened, and any combo could be perfect if they are.

Hi Robert, I will wait. If you'd like, check my web site, I will email it to you.
Re: those Scorpios: I sense danger and yet I want to continue to see what happens. Although I am Scorpio Moon, I do read quite well those creatures, but being with them requires a cold mind, which I do not have. I am deeply emotional. Their secrets drive me mad, although I rarely show it, however, how much frustration can I take? Their possessive side doesn't bother me, but secrets do.
Thank you

Hi Larissa - Your website looks great, as does your picture there! Great service, so I'm sure once you catch on you'll have more business than you can imagine. Some Scorpios are as you say, some are much less so. I was married to two different Scorpio rising women, one with Sun in Scorpio. Of course, the male of each Sun sign is different than the female of the same sign. They share traits, but express them very differently sometimes.
The analytical quality of the Scorpio mind is a most excellent virtue when everyone else is losing their perspective. I do agree that secrets, being inherently impermanent delusions, do tend to get them into trouble. But then we Aries can always bust secrets since we can see through the energy to target the point of focus, often unnerving to others.
We are the other side of the coin, and in some respects, Aries and Scorpio each express the hidden side of the other, for better or worse. It relates to an ancient concept, the Leo Clockwise system of astrology of antiquity resurrected by my friend, the esteemed Carl Payne Tobey. This system yields what I have termed "the Reflex Chart." It is the hidden side of who we are.

Thank you, Robert, I am glad you like it. It is a serious business, so will keep me out of trouble. ;-) I agree about what you said about Aries and Scorpio, funny that I combine both, so it must be easier to understand. Sun Scorpio men (I briefly dated one), open something deep within, I didn't know existed in me. Overwhelmimg hypnotizing excitement.
I guess you are right about analytical part, it comes naturally.
