Mars Stations Direct

“I think there is nothing in the world but mystery.” Kenneth Patchen

Mars is preparing to station direct on Wednesday at 23 degrees of Scorpio. One of the intriguing aspects of stationing planets is that for a few days before the station and a few days after, information can surface that represents a culmination of knowledge about what the retrograde period has meant for you. Mystery can abound.

As this retrograde period draws to a close do be willing to look at how broad you allow your future horizons to be. Do you need to re-energize your courage to move forward?  How willing are you to pursue adventure in your life? Does your underlying philosophy of life in general need to be shifted to support a broader view?

Mars has traversed back through the sign of Sagittarius and  will station in Scorpio – the sign of mystery. Do be aware of your deeper knowing at this time. It can be a time of increased wisdom. Be aware of opportunities to resolve inner conflicts and unite dualities.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “The king of the fairies approaches his domain.”

 

Sabian symbol quote by Lynda Hill

The Sun and Venus in Cancer

“We dull our lives by the way we conceive them. We have stopped imagining them with any romance, any fictional flair. We must dare to envision biography in terms of very large ideas such as beauty, mystery and myth.” James Hillman
Today marks the Summer Solstice – when the Sun enters Cancer. Cancer is the sign of mothering, of nurturing and of protection.  Over the next few weeks take some time to nurture your desires for a more soulful, expansive life. It bodes well to commit to nurturing and protecting your dreams as well.
One of the Sabian symbols for the Sun’e entrance into Cancer is,”A man on a magic carpet observes vast vistas below.”
It is also good time to appreciate and be grateful for the many gifts that come to us from the Sun’s light and warmth and from Mother Earth. And to envision a healthy future for our small planet.
“Without our dreams we would not be able to step outside ourselves and transform our limitations.” Diane Mariechild
