“Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. All profitable correction comes from a calm, peaceful mind.” Buddha
This morning I woke up with an ambitious agenda for the day but then factored in Mercury’s ongoing retrograde and that Mars is now in an out-of-sign opposition to the Saturn/ Neptune conjunction. This combination of planetary energies was a reminder to slow down, to be patient and to expect obstacles and delays.
The morning did proceed with obstacles and changes of plans. And then it was back to the drawing board about scheduling.
This week may have this kind of energy about it as Mars prepares to enter Libra on Wednesday and perfect the opposition to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at 1 degree of Aries.
Mars governs power and action. There can be more motivation and desire to get things done when Mars opposes Saturn, but Neptune can have a weakening or distracting influence and delays and obstacles can present themselves.
Later in the week, Mars will be entering a harmonious trine with Uranus and Pluto. This is a highly energetic alignment and can be associated with breakthroughs and revelations. Best to raise awareness and be open to new ways of seeing and doing things.
Mercury is slowing down to station direct, ending the retrograde period on Monday the 11th. For a few days before the station and a few days after, it is wise to heighten awareness for guidance that surfaces that can represent a culmination of information.
Saturday the Moon waxes Full at 3:55 PM EDT at 17 degrees of Aquarius. More on this later.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Having an urgent task to complete, a man doesn’t look to any distractions.”
