Jan
With the aid of Mercury's approaching sextile to Uranus, synapses are firing, forming brilliant ideas and unconventional solutions to that bit of problem that's been needing a remedy. Mars, at home in Aries and at Aries Point, is ready for action; he's just itching to get started and run with it. Just make sure he runs in the direction intended to produce the expected results.
The Sun, Mercury, and Pluto in Earth signs are not afraid of working hard to achieve goals. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus may be slow to start but is steady and committed for the longer haul. Pluto, in the tried and true sign of Capricorn, encourages looking beneath the surface, beyond the obvious and visible in seeking truth, in discovering the source not just the symptoms. The approaching conjunction between Chiron and Neptune (approx. 1 degree orb) promotes insight to what needs healing in us; both are in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius, the Awakener (mover and shaker) of the zodiac.
Another Earth-Fire combination in the mix, that may propel Mars into motion is the quincunx between Saturn and the Moon. It's Mr. Reality in critical Virgo poke, poke, poking at the Moon who is easily roused in Aries.
Lastly, I would be remiss not mention that Venus is in the last degree of Pisces. She was last in this spot on or around February 2, 2009. Issues coming to a head or resurfacing now may revolve around events from early February, especially for those with strong Venusian-influenced charts.
As with any true transformation, it's a process. Don't expect to get things concluded on the day first steps are taken. It is important, however, to take advantage of the energies offered. This Sun-Pluto trine can very well be the first step to becoming un-stuck and forward moving.
Do be aware that, although the Mercury-Jupiter square is weakening, there might still be some lingering influence left. It would be best to write down important information uncovered or decided upon today. Next week, both Mars and Venus will each battle it out with Pluto, where our resolve for transformation and growth may be tested against difficult odds. But that's another blog, written another day, to be read another day...
