Happy Monday, everyone. We’re still surfing a rough wave of astrology that will peak later this week. Just yesterday, Mars and Pluto squared off, an intense energy that spoke of endings, things outside of our control, and powerful transformations. If you are a Scorpio or Aries — or if you have Mars prominent in your chart — you likely felt this configuration in a profound way. Then Mars will oppose Uranus on Thursday. This is an energy designed to confront, shake us up, bring a spark of consciousness and awakening . . . or chaos. Mars and Uranus together are also a bit accident prone, so don’t push it.
Here’s the thing to keep in mind when we have these intense outer planet contacts. There are always going to be times in the calendar when we have a date with a specific energy or archetype. It is just simply a part of life as well as a part of our soul’s evolution. Something has to change, transform, release, and, hopefully, reach for its higher expression.
How do you do Mars and Pluto in higher consciousness? How do you reach for the higher form of Mars and Uranus? If Mars represents how you take action in your life, your motivation, and archetypical yang energy, how do you change how you do your Mars? Pluto will make you see things about yourself that you may not like. It will also draw a line in the sand, saying that one phase of your life is over and something new awaits. Uranus will give you sudden insights and downloads. Or it may moves things like an earthquake. You may even meet someone or be confronted by something that shakes your Mars. Today’s Scorpio Moon will highlight this process even more.
Always reach for the highest consciousness of how you live your planets and your chart (aka the chart drawn for the moment of your birth, which is personal to your soul’s experience in this lifetime and others).
