Mars Conjunct Jupiter In The Heart of The Grand Irrationality Affecting the World!

by Robert Wilkinson

As I've noted in recent posts, we're now in the heart of the Grand Irrationality, putting all of us and the entire world at a "fork in the road of destiny."

I wrote about Jupiter entering the zone and making a biseptile to Pluto and a septile to Neptune in Jupiter in Aries Showing New Grand Irrationality Directives. This transit sets up a lot that will be triggered as the other planets cruise through the Aries zone during April and early May.

I went into the specific timing on these events in the article Astrology in March, April, and May of 2011 - Mercury and the Other Planets Activating the Grand Irrationality. In it I give you the periods when the inner planets will be triggering this long wave configuration, as well as when the Moon will specifically activate it and/or put the focus on events related to the Grand Irrationality.

Anyway, Jupiter's still sitting in the heart of its aspects to Neptune and Pluto, and is now joined by Mars for the next week or so. This will precipitate events and choices that will move us into a future "destiny" according to where these transits in Aries, Pisces, and Capricorn fall in our birth charts. You can learn more about which other signs and degree spans are affected by going to the linked articles above.

There's more about what this month is about in the two articles I did on the recent New Moon, The Aries-Libra Full Moon of April 2011 Pt. 1 - Shattering the Illusion Revealing Our Visible and Invisible Allies and the companion piece, The Aries-Libra Full Moon of April 2011 Pt. 2 - The Old Era is Over and A New One Begins! These two articles expand on the seeds of April and what they will bring in the future.

So heads up this week, since the Moon in Aquarius and Aries will put the focus on forks in the road for everyone on Earth. Major events are happening, or will be set into motion over the next week. This is the time to choose, to act, and to move into the future, so go with the quickening, and don't worry if some of it doesn't make sense. It doesn't have to.

i like the part where you say it does not have to make sense. Not very much has made sense to me for a long while!

Thanks, Robert. Mars and Jupiter will also conjoin (relatively) newly discovered dwarf planet Eris at the end of April/beginning of May, and at one point, these three will be joined by the Moon to create a rather feisty stellium at 23 Aries. The Sabian symbol for that degree is a pregnant woman/fecundity. Astrologers are still busy delineating Eris, but the associated mythology certainly justifies her being referred to as the Goddess of Discord. Yet when you get into some of the details of these stories, you see there may also be an element of speaking truth to power. (Essentially she put a damper on a wedding feast by denouncing the groom for cheating on the bride, or something along those lines.) Since there was lingering debate over her proper classification and naming - at one point people were saying the new planet would be called Xena - astrologer Eric Francis and others are associating her with identity confusion or crisis. I know someone with Eris exactly opposing her Sun, and all of the above would certainly apply. Most of us alive now have natal Eris in Aries, since she moves very slowly, so with Uranus there too, authenticity is certainly a big issue at this time. At any rate, with the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Eris all tightly conjunct in Aries, we may want to be wary of situations/communications that can easily escalate into conflict, fights, arguments and violence through this coming weekend. Yikes! Elizabeth

Jupiter moves things along, correct? I hope so because Saturn has been a long, slow, grind for this Cancer, plus I am in my Saturn return, and have Saturn in Libra aspect; I feel like I am walking in mud;

I've been opening up a LOT, revealing way more than I used to think I should because someone, somewhere might become offended, through writing. Getting stuff out just helps. Also have been noticing an improvement in my writing-- it's not amazing but it's grown better over the years and is currently OK with me!

Thanks for your insight, Robert. XO.
