Warrior planet Mars just recently entered the sign of Gemini, bringing a quick pace and multi-tasking energy to our lives. As we reflect on Science/Earth Day protests and rallies that took place over the weekend around the world, this new transit reminds us of the importance of knowledge, explanations, and factual evidence as they pertain to our planet, and what keeps Mother Earth spinning on her axis amongst the stars. This will be a welcomed shift and reprieve that should keep us spinning too; the Sun, along with the planet Mercury combined, have produced a rather languid mood while in the grounding sign of Taurus. Sparks of action bring us to life as we hustle and bustle with renewed vigor. And yet, with a New Moon in the sign of the Bull this Wednesday, we will still be able to steady our efforts with focused intent and deliberation.
New Moons are all about new beginnings. In Taurus, it gives us an opportunity to manifest our deepest desires through sheer will. This looks to be a calming influence as we scramble about in our everyday lives. In fact, there may be several areas that require our steadfastness and determination, and we will most likely accomplish more than usual over these next couple of weeks - anxiety will be manageable. Meanwhile, a newly stationed Venus will re-enter the sign of Aries in a few days, re-igniting passions around love and money. However, this time, after the love goddess’ reunion with Pisces earlier this month, we are apt to show a bit more compassion and understanding toward others, along with increased gratitude for what we do have in the form of security, possessions, and abundance.
Of course, Mercury is now retrograde in the sign of Aries, which may trip us up in our efforts to express ourselves with tact and diplomacy (you will recall that this month’s retrograde station of Mercury began in the sign of Taurus). Repeat conversations may feel more forceful than usual, but that might be the only way for us to get clear on what it is we truly value. It’s as if the right mix of energy is coming together in the cosmos above – energy that will keep us operating on all cylinders and in all elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water). This has the potential of being a really good week. May it be so.
Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store for your week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign.
