Mars Grounded and Ready

Happy snap of Stell setting the pace

As we walk the path to our brave new world - individually and at a safe distance - most all of our planets are in earth signs except for a small clutch in Pisces. The cosmic message could not be clearer: get grounded in your own space and feel those feelings as they crash on your shore.

Mars in Capricornia is soon to dance with the congress responsible for January's gamechanging events. The fabled Saturn Pluto conjunction back then was too the day China announced this viral invader to the world. Their meeting heralded the end of an era - and thus the beginning of another - but as is so often the case, the world traded this intel for a way of life it refused to relinquish.

The old unsustainable systems, ideas and status bro is crashing hard anyway. Towers built on rotten uneven foundations are destined to fall eventually. Mars will be wandering this smoking ground zero first meeting Jupiter, then Pluto and then our old taskmaster Saturn just before he trades the old ways for the new in Aquaria.

Mars in Captastica is powerful, his eye on the prize and his ambition fired. He meets with Jupiter, our planet of higher learning and the largesse it brings, at the exact degree of the Saturn Pluto smash up last Jan. Their conjunction's psychic imprint, now showing its form in our real lives, is tickled once more this weekend.

Mars can heighten our fear or teach us how to master it. Jupiter expands everything it touches. Just after the equinox tipping point, their meeting invites us to ground and centre last January's quake into a new normal. It may feel anything but right now but there is no turning back. Diving within to find courage and fresh wisdom is the only way forwards. You have it in you darklings and more time than usual to plumb its depths.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned, to have the life that is waiting for us.
