“A self is always becoming. Being does not mean becoming. We run so fast that it is only when we seem to stop-as sitting on the rock at the brook-that we are aware of our being.” Madeleine L’Engle
“If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what might not the heart of man become in its long journey to the stars?” G.K. Chesterton
Mars, the planet of action and desire, is now in the fiery sign of Leo and is opposing Pluto and squaring Jupiter and the North Node. This is a very dynamic mix and bodes well for overcoming obstacles and taking action. There is a lot of power and energy to be harnessed with this influence if blockages can be overcome. It’s best to keep a very clear intention of what you would like to accomplish.

Venus the goddess of love and beauty is moving up to a tense aspect with Chiron, the asteroid of the Wounded Healer. This can bring up issues related to love , self esteem and abundance.

Mars is moving up to a tense aspect with the Lunar Nodes indicating a threshold time. This week provides good timing to look at what karmic or inherited patterns are no longer useful. With the Mars/Pluto energy it’s a good week to set new intentions that involve transformation – especially since we are still at the beginning of a New Moon cycle.
Venus is moving up to a sextile with Uranus this week. This can bring about positive changes in relationships and relationship dynamics. Feelings and desires can be expressed in more healthy directions.
