Stunning Forward Motion
Art by the inimitable Remedios Varo, La Ilamada (The Call), 1961
Though the start of this transforming year was shrouded in retrograde and revisionary imperatives, one thing is crystal clear. There is no going back. There is only looking forwards, grounding down and now, picking up the pace and the patter that will unlock the next phase of revolution.
With all planets in direct motion until April, green lights and bright arrows are clamoring for our attention. It is time to get going towards them and the bright future they promise if we make it so. The past few years have irrevocably reset the playing field. The old rules no longer apply and the old ways no longer hold water. Those clinging to them are slowly loudly drowning, refusing to learn and save themselves.
We must each set a fresh course, one borne of the call that we can now discern below the noise. Its invitation has been bubbling within for some time. Much of the preparatory work has been done; unlearning the old ways, relinquishing what never made sense, the hard yards of shadow and fight. Match fit and hungry, we turn our gaze to the future and start from ground level.
All this Capricorn dancing has replanted us in fresh terrior. Our new ground zero is a clean canvas on which to envision, play and paint. Pluto ripped up the old contracts and then handed us the brush. Venus reweaved our hummingbird hearts here. Merc reset our headspace. Now Mars steps up to the plate, superpowered and keen as mustard to get going, increasing our appetites and fanning the flames.
Urania in Taurus wants our hands plunged into this new tilled ground. Trining Mars today and tomorrow to foster opportunity that ensures we don't slip back into bad habits or stale old ways. Throwing rocket fuel on the pyre to conjure fresh flame. The urge to break free of rules and constraint is what seeds innovation. Experimentation leads to discovery. Risk is proof of courage and pays handsomely under changing skies.
The time for waiting has passed. Permission was only ever a slip outside yourself. Give caution something to keep it busy. Set imagination to stun. Pay attention to the call.

Innovation is the calling card of the future
