Mars Void…Then Into Gemini

That sense of ease & that maybe it’s okay to kick back a tad is not just apres Eclipse. Nooo. It’s also to do with Mars being Void. That is, Mars is in the last degrees of Taurus and makes no major aspects before moving into Gemini on Sat Night (USA) Sunday Morning (UK) and early arvo (Australia.)

Mars rules assertion, anger, aggression, ambition, libido & courage. It’s what we need when we start new things, defend the weak and get a grip. Mars is narking off at a surly shop assistant a bit more intensely than intended as well as the discipline required to work  out effectively and see results. It’s sex drive and lust for life itself.

Arieans – who are Mars-ruled – should especialy hold back on any major action initiatives until Mars switches signs…Ditto Taurus & Gemini. It would not be bad, as such, just not ideal. Triple check yourself if you think you might be going O.T.T. with the force of your personality or demands.

But isn’t it lovely having that Fixed Square pressure (Mars in Taurus square Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron a.k.a. the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding) lifting a bit. Mars in Gemini is always fun – a lot of scattered Qi, games & dual motives. Don’t take it personally. Everyone’s gonna want multiple options & a light, glib touch.

You know, no doubt, of the “dark horse” cliche – this is more of a Dark Unicorn moment.

Seriously! Totally! I mean as in that one can attain a Unicorny degree of blameless clarity or even innocence/a fresh start feeling but it comes with a darker edge of self-knowing.

The Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn is about neo-pragmatism – a feeling of foreboding that lifts the nano you face up to one icky fact or another and start to make cohesive plans. It’s like Saturn. Yes? So not a good time to float about being gaga & lazy or unrealistic. It’s all Earth-Earth-Earth so be grounded.

Yes, you have to work a BIT harder at firing  up the old self-belief as there is a paucity of Fire Sign action in the skies right now; you generate the heat from secret stores of Qi? But, as if to compensate, remember that Mars IS going to spend nearly NINE MONTHS in Leo from October…And some of that will include Uranus in Aries.

What will Uranus in Aries be like? I reckon it will be cool. This dude was born with Uranus in Aries & his generation produced some fantastic inventive peeps.

I did an extended rave re the Mars going Ape component of this Eclipse in Daily Mystic & the Scopes but in short; stay pragmatic & evolving even as some super-sensitive areas are tweaked. Sensational psych dreaming.

As mentioned in the Scopes & Daily Mystic, certain types of control-freaky people are bound to irk this week. It’s to do with good old fixed squares from Venus in Taurus to the stuff in Aquarius.

And then Mars tromps along next week and does the same thing. All during Eclipse Season and as Uranus stations Retro. It is the latter that’s the most likely to inspire a potentially bats-but-not-in-a-good-way impulse.

So should  you suddenly think YES & be on the blower to Acme a la Wile E Coyote, think again please. Wait out the Eclipse Season. That’s till July 22. Or at least till Mars skips into Gemini on July 12.

You know what…? In July – just in time for Eclipse Season – Mars in Taurus will square Jupiter, Chiron & Neptune. And that is when you will be happy that you worked like a dogged bull (lol) in June & got everything lined up. Mars in Taurus is a worker. You plod away, pulling the plough and employing stamina along with the magical thinking. More on this in the Nightly Scopes & Daily Mystic but essentially, don’t waste your powers of truculence resisting change or in pointless disputes. Use them to never-ever-give in. But if you’re some tight-lipped stoic grimly battling on to be the last person chez neighourhood to uphold some (do admit) had-it status quo, you’ll loathe the next few months.

Whichever area/sector/house of your chart has Taurus is where you’re grounded, sensual and beautiful but also capable of being SUCH A STUBBORN SOD & heaven help anyone who messes with your ’stuff’ in that area of life.

BTW re the image above – i see the art in it and as a vegetarian since the age of 5, i see also the poignant horror. The golden horns are artistically and alchemically significant and there is a massively interesting artistic statement behind the work.

Mars Into Taurus!

Mars is now in Taurus & sticks it out their (Tenacity! Stamina! Guts! Endurance! True Grit!) till mid-July!  Mars first makes a brilliant trine to his liege-lord Pluto  & likewise friendly aspects to Saturn & Uranus but he squares off with Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron. In the olden days, rulers would send extra guards to mind their treasure when Mars was in Taurus. It’s a time when peeps are likely to get way more funny about the money & avaricious + stubborn. Venus gets into Taurus soon too so a lot less of the Ariean pioneering vibe. Reality & practical concerns emerge but it’s a more sensual atmosphere. There’s a sexy Mars-Venus conjunction in Taurus on the weekend of June 20/21 so that will be fun. Bear in mind that if you get into any variety of a fight over the next seven/eight weeks – everyone is going to be real stubborn. Even if you ain’t, don’t expect compromise to be a simple score.
