Who’s to say when it started? One could just as well pick the day or the week before. Who’s to say where it started? One could find evidence for Peoria just as well as for Kathmandu. We certainly can say however, with whom it started. It started with us.<\/p>\n

Just what has initiated, it’s hard to say, but its there for us to feel now. Of course there is the approaching vernal equinox. The days grow more equal to the nights. The temperatures become less extreme. Between the earth and the sky, a blue-green nascence in our minds. The harvest of a season passing. The co-creation of a new time, first in consciousness, then in exchange,\u00a0 finally in action.<\/p>\n

As if to tell us so, the faster-moving, so called “personal” planets have led the way this week. This morning Mercury occupies the same spot the Sun did on Tuesday. In Pisces, it forms a sextile to the north lunar node in Capricorn. The future is talking to us but we must put in the effort of listening in order to hear it. Move on to Venus for a clue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, Venus ingressed Aries blowing a hot fire trine kiss to Mars which promptly tipped forward from the edge of Leo. Passion igniting will. Think of the timing and stand in awe. This now has never before happened precisely like that. That’s the beginning but it’s not the pattern.<\/p>\n

Before she could indulge selfish desire, Venus found that her journey had become a mission. To create the footprints in which Mercury, the Sun, Uranus and Jupiter will later walk. So we walk with her, or not. Bravely co-creating the new season, or holding back.<\/p>\n

This will be a Venus in Aries such as nobody living has witnessed or experienced. Still in a loose but functional trine to Mars, her impulsive, youthful passion is informed by will. Still in functional opposition to Saturn in Libra her raw energy is contained by perspective. Today is the next step. A big one. A square to Pluto in Capricorn, completing a cardinal t- square.<\/p>\n

So often people will ask an astrologer “what does it mean”? So frequently, those consulting will want to be told how to think. Most of the time, those questions have no honest answer. Today is an exception. The path of Venus in Aries is going to happen again and again and again and again as over the next several months three planets and the Sun follow suit.<\/p>\n

Venus is the first one through the cardinal gauntlet, not counting the Moon, for which this must be old hat. This is practice. This is where we make mistakes and learn and prepare for when the big planets with long consequences roll in. This is good.<\/p>\n

The square with Venus and Pluto can quickly and easily degrade into an expensive and fruitless struggle. Youthful passion wants its way. It is not easily transformed into a more graceful purpose. It must be mediated internally by a difficult realization. That surrender can be as meaningful an expression of will as struggle. The key is to get clear on what we are struggling against.<\/p>\n

The imperative to have things our own way can easily be used to control us. A huge fast food chain made it their slogan. We have been superbly conditioned to accept being told what we want to be, what we want to do, what we want to possess, where we want to go and how we would like to spend our time and money. Mars retrograde in Leo (opposed to the ubiquitous social pressure of the collective in Aquarius) was a chance to figure this out for ourselves. One way or another, some of that got through. Now that Mars is moving forward again it’s time to search our pockets for that piece of change and spend it.<\/p>\n

We can help each other. We can create and hold a space of safety and support for those who think for themselves instead of avoiding them or calling them weird. We can be informed instead of uncomfortable when someone declines a burger for lunch. We can back off on threat and aggression. We can be less demanding. We can listen without judgment. We can give authentically with no expectation of return. We can receive genuinely with no assumption of debt. We can be the one to suggest an apple instead of a bag of chips. Look around at this time. Betcha most interactions with others are just full of this potential.<\/p>\n

So the power struggle can become the power generator. This begins with being aware of what we are choosing and awareness of the alternatives. It proceeds into accepting the responsibility for our own choices. It continues with being conscious of where a particular desire comes from. Is it something we formed, or something we were sold? Before you know it we are different. We wake up one day and realize what we called our will was actually our submission. And surrender furthermore, is not submission. It is a powerful choice to commit to change rather than resist it. Suddenly we awaken to a will truly our own. Pluto sure feels different now. Keep practicing, it only gets better.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend as we work our way towards a truly new Moon. Meantime, the continuation of the serial examination of the the mutual reception between Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius is being further postponed until your clodhopper correspondent completes his further studies of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n
