“I sat a solitary man In a crowded London shop
An open book and an empty cup
On the marble table top
While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed so great my happiness
That I was blessed and could bless.” WB Yeats 

“Problems cannot be solved on the level they were created.” Albert Einstein

Given  the impending  direct station of Mercury on Thursday do make sure important files are backed up and it’s wise to remember snafus  involving communications (of all kinds) and travel are more likely to occur for the next few days.

Mercury stations are associated with a culmination of information as well. So for the next few days it is wise to be be aware of information that surfaces of that nature.

Historically Neptune’s transit through its natal sign of Pisces has correlated with the growth of spirituality on the earth. Neptune’s again entered Pisces in 2011 and will transit through this sign until 2026.

Under the influence of Neptune and Mars in Pisces (through mid month)   it is wise to strengthen the immune system and pay more attention to boundaries as this is a boundry-less combination. It is also associated with muse – type energy, however, and bodes well for creative and mystical endeavors. It is a good time over the next few days to set aside some time for inspiration, meditation or healing work.

The theosophists have a meditation for the Full Moon in which they join other theosophists throughout the world in concentrating their energies to bring a higher awareness and more Light to the world.  The strong Neptune influence now provides good timing to contemplate  your wishes and higher aspirations for future of the planet.

One of the  Sabian symbosl for the Mars Neptune conjunction is,”A sword used in many battles is now in a museum.”

This is going to be an interesting week and it bodes well to navigate it with increased awareness. Mercury will station direct on Thursday at 27 degrees of Scorpio. Scorpio is the sign that can penetrate deeply into the essence of things and bring hidden information into the light.  Most of Mercury’s retrograde this time has been through the sign of Sagittarius – the sign of higher learning as well as  journeys that expand understanding and knowledge. This sign  also governs the legal system  and higher law.

Mercury will station in exact trine to Chiron – the asteroid of the Wounded Healer. Do be aware of information that has surfaced and will continue to surface this week that points to missing pieces of information about your journey of personal evolution . Some of this info can be related to how you may have  unintentionally misled yourself or were misled by others. Insights of this nature can clear up misconceptions and trigger personal growth and evolution.

Mercury and Chiron will also be aspecting the Nodes of the Moon and the planet of the unexpected, Uranus. There can be surprising occurrences and  information that surfaces which can result in shifts of perception.

It is a good week for creative projects and for inspiration. But as Mars moves closer to Neptune the pull of addictive impulses is likely to increase. It is a good week in general  to make an extra effort to see past confusion and deception.

The Moon waxes new Friday the 7th at 15 degrees of Sagittarius and makes a challenging aspect to Mars and Neptune. Do keep information straight. There is an atmosphere about this time that is like the truth trying to coming to light through the veils of illusion.

One of the  Sabian symbols for the New Moon is.”A vast panorama of sand and time is unfolding; the pyramids and sphinx in their glory rise before the eye.”
