Venus and Mars Move into Aquarius

“The seat of the soul is where the inner and the outer world meet. ” Novalis

Every year Mars and Venus – the Cosmic Lovers – are together for roughly ten days. This year has been different with  this duo traveling together for six weeks. The energy has been different with the various aspects the planets make as they move together.  Most recently they have been conjunct Pluto – the Lord of Death and Rebirth which has made for a more challenging time.

Today – March 6 – they  have moved into the sign of Aquarius and are conjunct at 0 degrees. Mars and Venus together speak about relationship dynamics in general – not just in romantic relationships.

The planets have moved  from Capricorn – a sign that values the past and tradition – to Aquarius,  the sign of the future and innovation. It ushers in a  time when it bodes well to move in a direction of more independence and authenticity in relationship. Eccentricity- and the freedom it brings –  is valued by this sign.

It is a good time to consider what approaches you may have been taking in relationship that are no longer relevant and carve a new path forward.

There is a healthy detachment that comes with these two planets conjunct in Aquarius. It is a good time to move away from being overly dependent in relationship. Heightened emotions can be brought into balance with this influence and a more moderate atmosphere created and sustained.

Jupiter is conjunct the Sun now in Pisces – which can represent an expansion of wisdom and understanding. The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction – the very significant aspect of this time frame- is tightening up. It is a good time to rekindle the flames of hope and inspiration and to cultivate courage for the path forward.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A woman reading tea leaves.”

Wednesday’s New Moon in Pisces

“Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
But I know they’re wrong – wait and see
Someday we’ll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me.”   Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog

“I’ve been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different drum
But just lately I have realized
Baby, the best is yet to come.” Van Morrison

“You are not the oil, you are not the air-merely the point of combustion, the flash point where the light is born.” Dag Hammarskjold

Wednesday’s New Moon is at 12:35 PM EDT at 12 degrees of Pisces. This ushers  in a lunar cycle that bodes well for mysticism, spirituality, creativity, empathy and compassion.

New Moons are good times for setting or resetting intentions.

This  is a dreamy New Moon when the powers of visualization and imagination are strong. It is a good time- as the Peruvian shamans would say-  to dream a new world into being.  It’s good time to be in touch  with your dreams for your life as well as  your dreams for the future of the earth.

It’s wise  to imagine a circle of protective white light around the earth now and imagine a healthy sustainable future to our tiny planet. To quote Robinson Jeffers,”It’s a very small planet, but so very beautiful.”

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A sword, once used in many battles, is now in a museum.”
