Rock me on the water, maybe I’ll remember how.
\n— Jackson Browne<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Venus and Mars are rocking on the water this week. You have probably felt it somehow. Perhaps you have been rocked awake, or into soothing sleep. Could be you have been rocked by loss. Hopefully, before week’s end you will choose to join Venus and Mars by rocking as all of us do on occasion — to life.<\/p>\n

For if you are reading these words, your are among the living. You owe it to yourself to show some life, especially now when so much is at stake.<\/p>\n

You need not dance, or sing, or be young, or a lover. You need only to allow yourself to feel and emote something of your life, preferably in community.<\/p>\n

Without fear, and preferably with joy, the emotion of feelings helps make a difference between merely existing and living.<\/p>\n

Feelings correlate with water for astrologers. Right now, abiding Venus and energetic Mars are rocking astrology’s water for all it’s worth as if to show you how it’s done.\u00a0

\nVenus, the original surfer (and still the best) has been following Jupiter and Mercury by carving smoothly through the cardinal waters of Cancer. If you offered (or were provided) a saving grace last Monday, it was probably either you or somebody else manifesting Venus hanging loose while opposing gnarly Pluto in Capricorn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Draw upon what saved the day on Monday to stay trim later tonight or early tomorrow as Venus rocks a sketchy square with Uranus in Aries. In order to rock the aspect yourself, focus on how and where you want to come out of whatever dicey situation comes up for you, then do only what it takes to get there most easily and with the least drama.<\/p>\n

Almost as soon as Venus emerges from rounding off the Uranus-Pluto square, it flows into a grand water trine with Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces tomorrow, just as Mars moves to rock Jupiter.<\/p>\n

The water trine connecting Venus, Saturn and Chiron is shaping up so as to rock your world in the best possible way. Unfortunately, Venus is moving nearly as fast as it ever does right now, so you will need to be on your toes to rock the aspect.<\/p>\n

Be ready to commit random acts of kindness and senseless beauty on a moment’s notice, but naturally and organically. Remember, it’s an art more than it’s an action. Don’t force kindness or beauty on anybody. Leave the action to Mars.<\/p>\n

You know Mars. It’s likely you and the red planet got really well acquainted during the eight months or so Mars was rocking and rolling back and forth through Libra and your relationships. If you are one of the few who did not break out into rash relations sometime before Mars came home to Scorpio last Saturday, count yourself among those who rock most gently of all.<\/p>\n

Now in the fixed Scorpio waters it rules, Mars still has the potential to make a mess, so if you want to make the most of its square to Jupiter in Leo tomorrow, remember the aspect has already been functional for most of this week.<\/p>\n

That’s because of the Martian predilection to energize aspects days in advance. Nevertheless, tomorrow is the peak of Mars’s square to Jupiter, so a save is still possible if you look at whether this week has been either rocking or rocky so far.<\/p>\n

If things have been a bit rocky, remember Mars is in water now, and this is a square aspect to Jupiter. That means any tension you are feeling almost certainly has more to do with what’s inside you than with anybody else. So lighten up with others. Whatever you are sweating is not their doing. It’s about what you must do.<\/p>\n

Watch it with the boundaries, too. Yes, boundaries are healthy. Nevertheless, if you have spent this week slapping boundaries up like cheap wallboard, it means your inner Mars has been fighting your inner Jupiter, and that is no way to deal with a square.<\/p>\n

Rather, break out of your own boundaries. Force yourself to do something you have been putting off, avoiding, or intimidated by and notice how that feels.<\/p>\n

Push yourself, not others, and you will have rocked the Mars-Jupiter square from the deepest water of your being in the nick time to emote your feelings, so that they are as enthusiastically received as expressed. Combine that responsive approach to Mars with a sensitive and timely approach to Venus, and you truly will be a rock star in your own right.<\/p>\n
