Way back on November 8 Venus and Mars changed signs within hours of each other. Now, they duplicate that feat.

It is an accumulation and culmination, an amazing example of synchronicity and symmetry that attracts our attention as surely as yesterday’s relationship between Mars and Jupiter.
Yes, there is a lot going on. The tenor of our times pervades the astrology as the Sun and a host of other objects have crowded their way into and through Sagittarius. It carries over to the political as wars and rumors of war compete for our attention even as a new release of documents by WikiLeaks threatens to undermine duplicity as the cornerstone of modern diplomacy.
These things also have their counterparts in our personal lives. Even as the established order strives to contain the untenable and constrain the unthinkable, many if not all of us are feeling as if we are engaged in a rapid oscillation from pillar to post and back again.
Therein is the key. In order to engage with the world at all, we must first be in touch with ourselves. It is important to prioritize what it takes to attend to our physical health. Our mental health is part and parcel of our physical bodies and will likewise benefit from the decision to be selective and simplify. If social pressure is compelling you to act otherwise, pause to remember that most of the busy social whirl could go on without you, but you can’t. If you feel yourself to be important — and you are — try pulling back a little. Summarize and focus.
