“Hope is the thing with feathers.” Emily Dickinson
” So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.” Seamus Heaney
The Sun, Venus and Mercury are in a very positive alignment early this week as they form a trine with the Jupiter and Neptune conjunction. This alignment has been in effect for a week or so and will wind down as the week progresses.
The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Pisces bodes well for hope and inspiration. It also provides good timing to dream big – and make any necessary adjustments later. It benefits creative projects and spiritual growth.
The one caveat about this alignment is that retrograde Mars is forming a challenging aspect to it. Mars retrograde can be associated with frustration and impatience so it’s wise to keep that in mind.
The Mars retrograde transit lasts through mid – January and it’s wise throughout this time, when encountering obstacles or challenges, to slow down.
Mercury, Venus and the Sun will enter Sagittarius this week ushering in a good time to think about broadening your horizons – whether in the outer world through travel and exploration or in the inner world through study and learning.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”The king of the fairies approaching his domain.”
