Mars and Saturn Oppose and The Nodes Change Signs

“If you love your work everyone benefits.” Janhn Whiteside

“When Matisse was asked whether he believed in God, his response was, ‘Yes, when I’m working.'” Marion Woodman

Pallas Athene,  the warrior goddess of wisdom and strategy recently moved into the sign of Virgo joining Mars in this detail oriented sign. This provides a good time for efficiency and  analysis and for  breaking down big picture thinking into its various components. It’s a good time for thinking things through on a pragmatic level.

For the next ten days or so Mars in Virgo will be opposing Saturn. This is a good alignment for getting things done. Just watch for overwork. There can be a fair amount of frustration when these two planets join up – some astrologers describe it as driving with the brakes on. It’s best to avoid being overly critical – with self and others under this influence.

On Wednesday the North Node moves into the sign of Aries and the South Node into Libra for an eighteen month transit.  In a nutshell this transit is about taking action and moving  forward in a direction of increased authenticity.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”The music of the spheres.”
