This week, four planets change signs. Mercury and Saturn ingress Scorpio, Venus ingresses Virgo and Mars ingresses Sagittarius. Planets changing signs means changes in our lives. Even one planet making a move can freshen things up, though four changing signs in close proximity means that many things are cycling to a close and new things are beginning.
As planets move through the last degrees of their signs, they can take on a pressured, rushed or even desperate feeling. Notice when you’re feeling this pressure or sense of being moved against your will, as if you have to get it all done for some reason you don’t understand.
Actually, there may be an element of truth to that — notice what’s currently on your radar that is ready to be wrapped up, over and/or done with. Notice what you’ve been delaying and ask if you’re not actually experiencing an opportunity. This is an excellent time for completions. However, given the pressures involved, and the sense of inevitable movement, and the fact that many of these planets deal with sex and emotions, if you’re going to have conversations about significant topics, please do so in a clear state of mind: rested, sober, and not physically in bed (in bed is one of the least helpful places to discuss sex and sexual relationships; the kitchen table is much better).
It’s also time to think about what you want that’s new and different, or that you feel you’re ready for. Each of these sign changes brings a different energy into the mix, though the interesting thing is that all of the planets are in aspect to Neptune when they change signs. Neptune is about imagination, vision, sensory experiences and creativity, though it’s also easily corrupted. It’s one of the most challenging energies out there, more often associated with delusion than with anything spiritual or pleasant.
