This Spring is very active, and there is no simple way to prepare for what lays ahead for the human condition. Perhaps it suffices to say ," go with the flow" and be able to change direction in a moments notice.
While we say goodbye to the Sun in Aries on April 21th where it had enjoyed the company of many a planet. I need to mention that Mercury leader of the pack of players in Aries, is in a retrograde cycle, created much misinformation, unclear facts, which may have fueled Mars, in Aries his ruler to act hasty and desire to chase many a false starts. Mercury also influenced Jupiter, to become frustrated, due to his enthusiasm being primed for unlimited possibilities and no real outlet, because Mercury forgot to include the details for success. As Mercury goes direct on the 23th we can begin to sort out the facts and readjust. Only to see the changes that Uranus also introduced to the playing field, as he went a bit unnoticed for some at this party in Aries. Hold on you can do this... breath...regroup
Uranus's stay in Aries for some time, and he will stimulate many to make changes perhaps revisiting some Jupiter enthusiasm. The ideas which seemed incomplete during Mercury's retrograde that are viable may be revised, now that the Sun will be moving into Taurus. Here the Sun will have a more solid working base, but it will still take time, there are many voices in this chorus. As if that wasn't enough the Full Moon last night in Libra was conjunct Saturn, which stood in judgmental opposition to the players in Aries. So nerves may have been shaken but not shattered for some.
While one planet leaves Aries the Sun, another enters Venus the same day. This Astrologer is not surprised to see how many planet lined up to join Uranus this Spring. After all Uranus likes groups and social interaction. And in it's new home in Aries he wanted to party. And there truly is a party of planets that have come to join in the fun that will shake rattle and roll the human condition for some time. This combination of planets will inspire a mixture of ideas that will float by, some will come to nothing, but listen some will be packed with insight that just need to be tweaked.
So be flexible and listen for useful information. The areas of your life that feel tight and constricting are probably in need of some change, or redirection. Make your changes after Mercury goes direct on 4/23 if you hate to redos...
This Spring as Venus joins Mars at the party, there will be a lot of emphasis directed towards relationships and relating. Remember that Saturn in Libra will be at times in opposition to the these two lovers in Aries. Asking the question, "What do I need to learn from this?" As Pluto in Capricorn (Yes, he still has a place in Astrology, in fact more than ever before, his ruler being Scorpio, master of the underground likes to go unnoticed until he strikes) squares each planet in Aries while squaring planets in Libra, our strength of conviction, our ability to change, who and how we love, will all be put to a test so we can gain wisdom and grow.
Thankfully transits do pass...
So be kind to yourself, and remember that, what you focus on, you get, both positive and negative equally!!
So may your thoughts bring you joy....
