Dear Friend and Reader:
The Moon is in Gemini and the Sun is in Aquarius today, so we have a very airy day. Good luck getting anything done, as people keep plunging into your mind via email, IM, text message, cellular call, Fed Ex teleconference and personally showing up in your cubicle to show you their cool new dancing BlackBerry.
Today’s aspects deserve more time than I have to give them right now, so consider this a warmup for Friday’s edition — thought is really is part of a continuing story. As of this writing Wednesday morning, Mars is about to ingress Aquarius (exact at 10:55 am EST), adding some fire to that particular pot. ANY time a traditional planet or big player among the minor planets changes signs — a rare enough event — this is significant.
Aquarius is where the spotlight is: Mars joins Jupiter, Nessus, Chiron and Neptune, and Mercury has stationed direct in Capricorn and is also heading for Aquarius now. We have just had a solar elcipse there as well, so the Aquarius energy is hot and getting hotter.
The Sun is making a series of conjunctions this week, yesterday to Nessus, then to Chiron (at the moment of the lunar eclipse on Feb. 9) and then to Neptune. This will be a rough ride for some; for those attuned to the high-frequency energy of Aquarius, it will turn the world into a living experiment.
Mars close to Chiron means that we’re heading for a conjunction of these two planets, exact March 5. This is always a significant aspect, because it brings two of the most tangible elements of male warrior energy together in one idea. In the same vicinity we will of course see Mars conjunctions to many ponits and planets, so today’s move of Mars in to Aquarius really does begin a major story.
