It’s Monday and there’s a lot going on. Over the weekend Jupiter made its way into Aries. At the time it was conjoined with the Moon. That’s right, they crossed the Aries point within minutes of each other. Hopefully this time corresponded with some emotional relief and a refreshed sense of possibility for you. Tomorrow the big conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus will be exacted but for all intents and purposes, we are in the midst of it right now.

Today has a significant sign transit of its own and it fits in with the rest — the first full day of Mars into Virgo. Take a minute and let that one sink in. With Chiron in Pisces for the first time in over four decades, Uranus is in Aries for the first time in over 75 years and with Jupiter yet. Add Pluto in Capricorn along with Neptune revisiting its discovery and Saturn soon coming home to Libra and it’s pretty easy to forget that Mars has been in Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun, since October 16, 2009.
Think about that. Over the last eight months Mars has become Leo. Leo has become Mars. Now it’s over, for a couple of years at least. This is not a trial transit. No toe in the water like Chiron, Uranus and Jupiter — each due to retrograde back a sign later this year before making a long term commitment. No sirree, Mars in Leo is kaput. It’s a whole new day.
