Mercury Squares Mars

“And all the obstacles along the way
Sometimes may feel so tremendous
There are guides and spirits all along the way
Who will befriend us.” Van Morrison
“Let’s talk it out across the table
Make sure that we leave nothin’ out
Get into it like a meditation
Start checkin’ it out
Takin’ it further…
Checkin’ it out.” Van Morrison

There is a lot of fiery energy in the sky now with the Sun in  Leo and Mars, Chiron and the asteroid Lillith are all in Aries.

Mercury is making a challenging aspect to  Mars now  through August 1. It’s best under this influence to avoid impulsive action and go for the long game. It can be a frustrating time when nerves can be frayed,  tempers can be short and patience  in short supply.

Mercury is in Cancer now and continues to make a challenging aspect to Chiron. This can bring up issues related to family, ancestry and the past in general.

Mercury continues to make a favorable aspect to Uranus indicating that there can be breakthroughs in awareness. Uranus’s magical touch indicates it’s a good time to heed innovative ideas and solutions.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is ,”Brightly clad nature spirits dancing in the warm dying light.”
