At 4:01 am EDT Saturday, an air-sign Sun will trine Mars in airy Libra for the second time this year, possibly representing a second chance for balance in your life by finding yourself in the crowd.
This year’s first trine from the Sun to Mars featured a busy Aquarius Sun in opposition to an equally distracted Leo Full Moon on Valentine’s Day.
During the Valentine’s Day Leo Full Moon, the opposing luminaries were simultaneously in aspect to a host of other objects and points (as noted here on Planet Waves earlier this year), and the Sun’s trine to Mars was all but lost in the crowd.
Saturday’s trine from the Gemini Sun to the long Martian march through Libra will in some ways recall the Valentine’s Day rendition, but without being lost in a stampede of other aspects.
Hence, a second chance of sorts, implicitly a chance to find yourself in the crowd, will be yours to begin the weekend.
The Sun is as personal as any object in astrology. The actual Sun is big, bright, and you have a relationship with it every day. The symbolic Sun of astrology is likewise as personal as your own consciousness. Problem is, it’s easy to take both the Sun and your consciousness for granted, essentially losing yourself in the bargain.
