The planets are connecting ideas, initiative and desire to the means to move, and their message right now is for you to do the same. Hook your engine to your wheels, your ideas to action this week, and see where you take yourself.
In one aspect, we have Mercury in decision mode. The planet of the mind is still conjunct Uranus, sparking an idea (or two or three). Square Pluto, the planet of evolution, your best bet is to take a step forward with the decision you are contemplating (or have just made) — if you’re feeling any tension, this is what it is calling for. Something is going to move you forward eventually anyway – it may as well be you, at your discretion and in line with your own vision.
Interlinked with the Mercury-Uranus-Pluto configuration is a pair of trines being made by the Sun right now. The Sun is in early Taurus, an earth sign. It is picking up the signal from Mars, slow but direct in early Virgo, and the asteroid Psyche, conjunct Mars. Virgo is a sign ruled by Mercury – hence the interlinking nature of these two aspect patterns.
We’ve written about Mars and Psyche a couple times before in this space, just prior to and during the Mars retrograde. In those instances, the backward motion of both bodies was urging us to look inward, to ferret out the roots of the injuries to our desire nature. Psyche is still retrograde, but Mars, gradually moving forward, is giving us a green light to begin action. With Mars moving in its preferred direction, Psyche is able to lend a little more support thanks to its flowing, expressive relationship to the Sun right now.
