“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” Albert Einstein.
“Everyone is born a genius; it just takes longer for some of us to forget.” Martha Graham.
The Sun conjuncts Uranus on Monday at 23 degrees of Taurus. Uranus is the planet of off- the grid knowing. It is often a strong influence in the charts of inventors. In the sign of Taurus it’s signalling the opportunity for more expansive thinking about what abundance means in our lives – in terms of self worth, self esteem, our relationship to money and how we create stability and security in our lives. The sign of Taurus is also related to the natural world and our relationship to it.
Watch for breakthroughs.
It’s a nervy partnership of energies- it’s wise to create some down time and resist impulsiveness. Best to be open to new and creative ideas about the growth and new directions in your life.
Mercury moves out of the fiery sign of Aries into the earth sign of Taurus on Wednesday. Mercury has been transiting the sign of Aries since early March – a long time due to the retrograde period.
In Taurus, it can give stability and groundedness to communication as opposed to the fiery, somewhat impulsive nature of Aries. It provides a good time to appreciate the natural world and all that she provides for us.
Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect is good for thinking more deeply about the nature of things but it’s best to watch for overthinking. This dynamic is in influence all week long as it builds to the exact conjunction on Friday.
Mars aligns with the North Node of fate and destiny and Chiron, the asteroid of the Wounded Healer on Saturday at 13 degrees of Aries. This is a good time for taking action on new goals and initiatives. Just make sure any plans are well thought out and avoid impulsiveness with fiery Mars involved.
This alignment provides good timing to assess our use of powers in the world and if any improvements would be beneficial moving forward.
Venus is conjunct Uranus this week bringing surprising twists and turns into the relationship sphere. The well known astrologer Isabel Hickey once said about times like these -when Mars in conjunct the North Node and Venus conjunct Uranus- “The train pulls into the station and some people get on and some get off.” It can be a time when new people enter your life and other friendships or relationships become more distant. This alignment in building and in influence all week.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A clear mountain stream flows steadily downstream.”
