[/caption]We're approaching Mercury in Aries, which will go into effect on March 9. For the last three weeks or so, we've been in compassionate, dreamy Mercury in Pisces, lending a gentle touch to our communications (Mercury). Now, the planet of Communication goes into assertive, take-no-prisoners Aries, asking us to communicate directly and forthrightly. This change in communication is small potatoes considering that ...
Uranus the planet of the unexpected is also shifting from Pisces to direct and forthright Aries.
This is a BIG DEAL.
Why?
We're seeing a repeat of the Cardinal Grand Cross from last summer. A Grand Cross is when you have four planets squaring (warring) off, all at 90 degrees apart. Last summer during July 2010:
- Saturn in Libra offered us relationship LESSONS.
- Pluto in Capricorn shook up the status quo.
- Jupiter in Aries gave us direct luck,
- ...Here's the catch. Moving ahead (especially for the Cardinal Signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) may have felt amazingly frustrating or slow. You may see a repeat of issues that arose in late summer of 2010 - Summer 2010 Issues, Part II. And now? It's easier. A lot easier. Now we can use this energy to figure out where we are going and why.
Now?
Uranus, planet of the unexpected, moves into Aries on 3/11: Self-esteem, self-love, independence and all other things that fall under the domain of Aries will come from unexpected, shocking Uranus-style places. You may find these things in the least common of places since Uranus rules the unexpected, so keep your eyes open!
Jupiter (luck) in Aries is squaring off to Capricorn in Pluto (deep rebirth). Make your own assertive (Aries) luck (Jupiter) by allowing the status quo (Capricorn) to transform (Pluto).
I believe we've seen this in the events in Egypt in the last few weeks - the world watched as a government (Capricorn) fell and is now beginning to transform in a very baseline Plutonian way. It is Jupiter's job to blow up and expand. Take a deep breath and go with the Pluto shake up. The life that you are building now has the potential to be 100 times better and more satisfying than before...but as long as Pluto is in Capricorn, it may feel like you're straddling a fault line. Jupiter is like a helium balloon - blowing up everything it touches. It may blow up issues about YOU (Aries rules the self) so they can be dealt with. It may also lead you to experience exhaustion because everything is changing so fast. Ride it out and be aware of HOW you want to direct this energy. It's big. Also, Uranus will be in Aries until 2018! So, whatever changes are being made, they are for the long haul and the greater good.
Also, with Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (surprise) in Aries, expect to find unexpected luck around Aries issues of self-esteem and motivation.
Many of us - specifically those of us who have Sun Signs or Ascendents that are in the Cardinal Signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn - will feel this more accutely than others. If you know your chart (or want to check it for free, go to www.astro.com), look where Aries or Capricorn planets fall in your chart for more information. Those will be the areas feeling the impact of this square.
