We have a heavy point of frictional contact going on for the next 7 days, as the Sun is now in a waning square to Mars for the next week. This will naturally impact any planets we have in the first 4 degrees of the Fixed signs!
Things kick off on Friday when Mars enters Leo, shifting how we “attack the problems of life” from cautious Cancer to bold Leo. The Moon enters Capricorn early Friday and makes squares to Mercury conjunct Neptune in early Aries. This will impact planets we have in the early degrees of the Cardinal signs.
The positives in play are Mars trine Neptune, triggering the first trines to the new Neptune in Aries era. So the keywords for Friday and Saturday would be “controlled application of energy” knowing a lot will break loose on Sunday and Monday!
Sunday has the very favorable and productive Venus sextile Uranus and Mercury sextile Pluto. Early Sunday the Moon in Capricorn will form favorable aspects to Venus, Uranus, Saturn so make the most of it.
HOWEVER! At 4:22 pm PDT Sunday, the Moon enters Aquarius, and a few hours later opposes Mars, squares the Sun and conjuncts Pluto is a very heavy T-square throwing the void into early Scorpio. The Sun square Mars is partile for a few days after, impacting all of next week through the New Moon at 8 Taurus on April 27. So because Mars is forming the opposition to Pluto all week, and the Sun squares Mars and then Pluto, the T-square is in play all week.
This is a powerful force for integration through loss or regeneration. Demonstrate calm confidence in the midst of the swirling but fixed energies. See through the false complexity to the simple truth. Eliminate useless considerations and anything blocking movement.
See the symbolism in what's going on, and get around corrosive influences. Be the "Light of calm" as things intensify. Some will find their "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," though it may take until Venus gets into Taurus to realize it.
As I gave you in yesterday's post, when Mars is within a degree of forming or separating while making a hard aspect with a planet, slow down and show deliberation and caution in how you use force. Hard aspects to/from Mars always require that we moderate or antidote impulsiveness and impatience.
Of course, Mars is still building toward the opposition to Pluto even as it trines Mercury and Neptune. This creates a favorable opposition-sextile-trine generating positive momentum in the first degrees of the Fire and Air signs, with Libra being what brings perfect function to the configuration.
Transfigurations are on the way! This energy will be released via the T-square. So we build through early Libra and integrate/release through early Scorpio. Even if you have to make hard decisions, severing contacts, letting go, ultimately it all serves to welcome the new era marked by Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius.
