<\/dt>\nIf a brief aspect is important, preparation helps you to meet it on time. Think of a trolley. If you catch the conveyance, you can ride for quite a ways.<\/p>\n
The importance of Tuesday’s square from Mercury to Saturn is implicit because, like the last trolley of the day, we won’t see another one for quite a while.<\/p>\n
Not until Aug. 8 will Mercury’s separation from Saturn’s position on the zodiac again reach 90 degrees — the definition of a square. That’s a long time to wait, especially if you have something to say or someplace to go, activities that resonate with Mercury’s archetype.<\/p>\n
As regards to what you may want to anticipate saying on Tuesday, think of your relationship to power, which resonates with how Saturn expresses in your life. Most importantly, do not confine your anticipations and contemplations to power figures — you can’t change them. Focus on what you can change: yourself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How your own energy is transferred into the world is a working definition of personal power. Look for examples of how you shape your household, your working place, your relationships and your community. Then, prepare for the uneasy task of speaking to yourself about where and how the exercise of your personal power is conveying your life.<\/p>\n
It’s not easy to get out of personal story, but that will be the first step. You will miss the bus if you tell yourself stories on Tuesday. It takes thought, and time to perceive the reality of how you help or hinder others. You may even have to overcome anxiety and ask around for honest answers to get out of story, to know how others perceive you, and to know what role you play in their lives.<\/p>\n
It also provokes anxiety to contemplate how you might, or might not, be missed were your energy to be absent. Nevertheless, it is essential to know where you are in order to get to where you want to be. Fortunately, Mercury’s recent cycle into and out of retrograde has provided some perspective for you to work with.<\/p>\n
Begin by looking back to the first of three successive square aspects from Mercury to Saturn on Jan. 25. Then, recall what you can from the first full day of retrograde Mercury’s second pass to square Saturn on Feb. 19.<\/p>\n
Ask yourself what happened to the sense of your own power between the first and second pass, and since then. If you sense your own power has grown, think of how you may do better by others. If you feel less effective in the world, envision what it would take to regain what you have lost.<\/p>\n
At the very least, the recollection of two recent prior squares from Mercury to Saturn will prepare you to recognize the circumstances surrounding the aspect when you see it again.<\/p>\n
If you can gather information regarding how you live in the the minds and hearts of others, you will know much of your position in the world. If you realistically assess your feelings about what others think of you, you will know where you sit with yourself. At the very least, knowing your position means no longer being lost.<\/p>\n
Having found yourself outside of story, you will then be prepared to take the next step getting ready for Tuesday. In all probability, the next step will involve a choice regarding your direction.<\/p>\n
At the very least, deciding your direction ahead of time will settle what specific action will be appropriate for you when the anticipated tension of Tuesday’s square manifests as some sort of reality involving power and communication. From there, it will be a matter of timing.<\/p>\n
Good timing is a matter of being in the right place, and knowing what your moment will look like before it comes. So, between now and Tuesday, find out where you are and figure out where you want to go. After that, re-position yourself if necessary to meet and respond to whatever event recent prior experience has prepared you to recognize. When the moment comes, try not to let it pass. Convey yourself, and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n
