<\/dt>\nIn combination, the Sun and Moon, and Mars and Jupiter, are also probably mirroring something of your situation, which implies how the handle is that of a tool available for your use.<\/p>\n
Today is the lunar first quarter, an Aries Moon half lit and half dark, halfway across the sky from the setting Capricorn Sun. That configuration, which you can see with your own eyes, serves as the prototype for all opening square aspects.<\/p>\n
Any situation correlating to today’s\u00a0opening square aspect from Sun to Moon implicitly corresponds in turn to something\u00a0that originated with the New Moon on Jan. 1. That was when the luminaries were conjoined in Capricorn, and the Moon was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
That’s how to begin grasping your situation today. Since Jan. 1, the Moon has “opened” a separation of 90 degrees from the Sun, and presented you a situation somehow half lit and half dark. Look back one week to find the seed, which (like the New Moon) was not apparent at the time, but which has since become evident according to what you can see and feel now. That will be your handle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once you have a handle on your situation, the next step is to do something about it, or not. That’s where the opening square from Mars to Jupiter comes in.<\/p>\n
The opening square from Mars in Libra to Jupiter in Cancer is not exact until about 5:36 pm EST tomorrow, but is fully functional now. By mirroring the luminaries during the lunar first quarter, the primary function of Mars and Jupiter today is as an extension on the conceptual handle the Sun and Moon are concurrently providing. To understand the nature of that extension, and how to use it as a tool, you need to look back to when Mars and Jupiter were last conjoined.<\/p>\n
Mars and Jupiter were last conjoined at 5+ Cancer on July 22, 2013. It was an eventful day for astrology, history and probably for you. In retrospect, the correlations are informative.<\/p>\n
The astrology of July 22, 2013, was essentially initiated by the merger of Mars and Jupiter. In the hours that followed, Venus vacated Leo for Virgo, the Sun filled the vacancy by entering Leo, and the Moon entered Aquarius to oppose the Leo Sun for a Full Moon — all in one day!<\/p>\n
Following the energetic nature of Mars on July 22, 2013, were the decisions of two prestigious athletic championships — for golf (the British Open) and cycling (the Tour de France). Perhaps more memorable, and following the regal nature of Jupiter, an heir to Great Britain’s throne was born on that evidently auspicious day.<\/p>\n
Hence, today’s concurrent opening squares of Sun and Moon, and Mars and Jupiter, offer some information for you to work with. That information is your tool.<\/p>\n
It is information indicating that two notable days in the past (Jan. 1, 2014, and July 22, 2013) are reaching a crucial juncture together. It is data implicitly favoring an active rather than a passive approach to your current situation. It is the Sun and Moon making you aware of where action may best be applied, if you will but see what is to be seen and feel what is to be felt. It is Mars exhorting you to aspire, and if necessary, perspire. Finally, it is Jupiter encouraging you to think big, and perceive today as the first day of the of the rest of your life rather than just another day to get through.<\/p>\n
It’s a great day for astrology. It’s a great day to get a handle on your situation. It’s a great day to be one with the sky. In the final analysis, however, this day will only be for you what you make it. If all you do today is realize that one truth, you will have made personal history and achieved success by grasping the most important handle on your situation for now and always. May that success be yours.<\/p>\n
