Finally, Mars stations direct in Virgo overnight tonight into Saturday. We’re all champing at the bit to move forward with decisions and plans, get out of our heads and into our bodies, and burn off steam. But if you’re someone who leapt into new purchases and repairs right after Mercury stationed direct last week only to have them backfire, you have a vivid, recent reminder to take the days right after a station carefully and a couple knots below ‘full speed ahead’. After all, it’s the bottom part of the iceberg that’s problematic – and it’s the part you don’t know is there till you’ve hit it.
This is not to say you risk any Titanic-sized mishaps should you push the throttle all the way. Just accelerate gradually. You’ll burn up less gas, still get where you’re going, and be able to steer past any obstacles as they arise.
Plus, if your engines are not roaring, you’ll be better able to hear what the sonar is picking up from below. Vesta is still conjunct Eris in Aries (exact today). The goddess of the hearth and the creative flame is presiding over the echo chamber of your identity, full of those whispers of who you are that seem to bounce around without ever syncing up. See if you can allow yourself to hear a harmony among the voices. It may be unconventional, like humpback whale songs deep beneath the surface, but if you can appreciate the curious beauty of these disparate whisperings of self, you may worry less about what might be ‘down there’.
