<\/dt>\nThis is no average annual tour through Pisces. Mercury this year will be taking you to even greater depths than usual through its aspects to other planets.<\/p>\n
Aspects are angular relationships between objects on the zodiac circle. Interpreting any such relationship means creatively combining respective qualities of the planets, signs and angles involved.<\/p>\n
The objective of aspect interpretation is to arrive at a parable that actually pertains to your reality. Ideally, the metaphor will also reliably describe something of both your position and available options. For Mercury (and your mind) this week, the through-line for its aspects is both material and metaphorical water.<\/p>\n
You know how important water is. Without it, you and most other forms of life would die. You also know how water symbolizes emotions, feelings and intuitive aptitude. Yet, no matter how well you think you know water now, astrology is indicating you will get to know the wet stuff a whole lot better real soon. It will begin with Jupiter’s last leg through the cardinal waters of Cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercury’s major aspects this week include a trine to Jupiter tomorrow, a Friday sextile to Pluto, and a conjunction with Chiron as the weekend begins, all evocative of water in its many manifestations.<\/p>\n
First off, Jupiter tends to amplify and magnify whatever part of the zodiac it traverses and whatever angular relationship it is a part of. Trine aspects have a reputation similar to Jupiter because trines connect signs that share the same identifying element (fire, earth, air or water), setting up a flow that accelerates as it circulates. Hence, any water trine involving Jupiter implies a veritable flood, and for good or bad, there’s yet more.<\/p>\n
Jupiter is the linchpin for this historical moment in astrology. Jove is (along with Saturn’s swim through Scorpio and Neptune at home in Pisces) part of a grand water trine without specific precedent for years upon centuries past.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Jupiter is also part of a similarly unprecedented grand cardinal cross (or grand cardinal square, if you will).<\/p>\n
Pluto (from Capricorn), and Uranus (from Aries) have long held down the first two corners of the square, emblematic of our era. Now, retrograde Mars is backing into the Libra corner, and Jupiter is slogging through Cancer to precisely complete the fourth corner of the grand cardinal square (with a bonus connection to the grand water trine) on April 23.<\/p>\n
On the whole, a grand water trine linked to a grand cardinal cross through Jupiter makes it look like you could help make history, and do it with pleasure, if you are so inclined. Tomorrow’s trine from Mercury to Jupiter should help you feel the flow, but that’s not all.<\/p>\n
After Mercury moves past its trine to Jupiter tomorrow, astrology’s match for your mind will quickly open a sextile to Pluto come Friday.<\/p>\n
Sextiles (separations of 60 degrees), like scholarships, are supportive but require some work on your part. In this case, it’s an easy “A” — if you realize that Pluto rules fluid Scorpio (along with Mars), supporting continuous water correlations until Mercury conjoins\u00a0Chiron as Friday flows into Saturday.<\/p>\n
Conjunctions are two objects occupying the same spot on the zodiac and the same degree of longitude in the sky. When planets conjoin, they begin a new cycle in their angular relationships, indicating a new cycle of some sort in your life. Beyond the initiation of a cycle there is a more ephemeral, but powerful, consequence — conjoined objects merge.<\/p>\n
Imagine your mind (corresponding to Mercury) becoming one with every form of water (represented by Pisces). Then, conceive of a further merger at the same time into Chiron’s complex, nuanced, yet undeniably holistic cross-currents from who knows where to your uneasy chair. If you can keep, hold and work with such an image, you will understand the cosmic position of your consciousness in the days to come. As for your options, keep it simple.<\/p>\n
Mercury’s passage through Pisces this week will have water on your mind and complexity in store. In order to be the balance you will want to see in the world, keep it simple and focus on what comes out of your head.<\/p>\n
If ever there were a time to prioritize what comes out of your noggin over what goes in, this would be it. So, stay in contact with Mercury by using your head. Then, keep water in mind.<\/p>\n
Keep water in mind so that whatever you choose to say, write or otherwise express of your thoughts does not entail giving anybody a piece of your mind. Not this week, anyway.<\/p>\n
This week there will be some long karmic trajectories from even the shortest sentences. That’s where aspects from Mercury locate you for now. So, be careful. Whatever you choose to express and however you choose to convey, make sure the parable being told by your thoughts and through your words will be something for which you can forever be proud.
