There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever, and fury. There is love, and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.
— Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy, from “The Core”
Mars in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn on Sunday, while the Sun marks the middle of the season. It will be the first trine from the red planet to Pluto since May 16, 2012; when Mars had recently returned to direct motion through Virgo following a long retrograde. In combination, the Sun, Mars and Pluto this weekend will offer an enhanced perspective into the core of your being and beyond.
Concurrent with the Martian trine to Pluto, the Sun will occupy the mid-point of fixed Taurus. That will mean we are halfway between the beginning of this season and the start of the next one.
The halfway mark of any season is a threshold of unique perspective. It is one of the best times to compare what you have come from to evaluate where you are, and anticipate where you are going.
It has to do with more than just the weather. To have Mars trine Pluto at the same time will make that clear, telescoping perception beyond seasonal cycles to touch places beyond space and time as it is usually understood.
Mars, for its part, will lend its emblematic energy to support your consciousness of connections. The trick is to realize when you are feeling the surge and ride it, rather than have it ride you. It is as simple as telling yourself what you are feeling in the moment, and not feeling bad about it. Rather, follow the feeling to the core of its origin within you. The earth trine connection to Pluto will help.
