The week commences with Mercury, the planet of communication and creativity, in an astral sextile aspect with planet Mars. In plain English, this represents opportunities and possibilities. However, with Mercury in its retrograde transit, it can slow things down. And the motivated, fast-thinking energy of Mars can give you the feeling of pushing forward and forcing ahead, which may or may not be a good idea at this point as the combined energy is push-pull, and that can cause frustration. The lesson here is to know that everything will work out, as it should, in the end, and to just let go. Easier done than said, I know, but as the saying goes, there is no point stressing over things you have no control over.
Take a step back, think things through, and as Mars is in Cancer, a water and cardinal sign, you want to go inwards to see what your intuition is revealing to you. Mercury and Mars interacting present what can seem like an insight, although could actually be an impulsive move that can be an overreaction. Do your research, check in with your intuition, and then see how you feel before you agree or disagree with anything or anyone.
There are three sextile astral aspects this week, all creating massive opportunities. The next is between the Sun with Saturn. The Sun is our most powerful energy source and Saturn is more cautious. However, Saturn does set solid foundations in place, and with the Sun in the sign of Taurus, which is a similar vibrational energy as Saturn, being more earthy, there is another message to be thoughtful and mindful of your next move. What happens next may not be easily reversed. So, you want to make sure it’s the right move for you and not just for everyone else.
The final major aspect this week, another sextile, is an interaction between planets Mars and Uranus, and the combined energies can bring about certain developments, which encourages you to push forward and do whatever it takes to get the job done. Keeping this in mind, the more research you can do, and the clearer you can get about what you want, will be advisable. The more clarity you have about where you are going and what you want to achieve, the more in control you will be.
However, in saying that with this interaction, it is possible that things can happen that you have no control over, and in this sense, you have to just take a deep breath and work through whatever is in front of you knowing that once you get to the other side, blue skies and calm waters will appear and it will all make sense.
The challenge, as always, is to know and believe what’s happening is actually happening for you sometimes, and the whirlwind of life can pick you up and put you down where you are meant to be. And let’s not forget that the overall energy of this week is that we have three sextiles, presenting opportunities and possibilities, and it is up to each of us to recognize when they cross our path and to know if a situation is right for us.
