“No one has a problem with the first mile of a journey. Even an infant could do fine for a while. But it isn’t the start that matters. It’s the finish line.” Julien Smith

COSMIC WATCH:

Generally speaking, do you think we are more wired for starting things, or finishing things?

It seems from my humble personal opinion (as someone with a start-me-up Aries Rising!) that we often appear to get more excited about beginning something new – especially when it’s something that we’re really looking forward to; but, once the newness of the endeavor wears off – as it inevitably will – completing what we’ve started can quickly become an almost Herculean-sized task.

Of course, ultimately in the end, it may all jst depend upon our own individual frame of mind about a matter, whether or not we see it through to a conclusion, as well as our initial motivation for doing something in the first place.

I also think that it can usually help out our cause if we’re able to keep our end goal firmly in mind – with that single-minded focus acting as a powerful glue that hopefully seals all our efforts together until we reach the finish line.

That said, astrologically today, Luna is “void-of-course” in “pioneering” Aries. A time period when the traditional astrological wisdom would suggest is ideal for staying the course, tying up loose ends, finishing what we’ve started – versus initiating anything new.

Then, once the Moon enters “practical” Taurus, later this evening (7:28 pm), it will have completed its V-O-C phase, and we then have the green light again to move forward with new endeavors.

We also still have the playful, romantic, highly creative “Venus-Mars” conjunction in effect, in Aries, which was exact, early this morning, so we may definitely want to save some time for pleasurable or fun pursuits, as well, today. This is a great influence for socializing, parties, shopping, fashion, or taking in the arts. Also, a perfect backdrop for the Oscars in Hollywood, tonight.

This Venus-Mars influence actually sort of lingers around until mid-March, as these two planets will be staying in fairly close range with each other, until then.

We may also want to check to see what house in our personal charts this configuration is occurring in as that will be the area in our lives where conditions may be easing a bit, or where we may be seeing new opportunities for expressing our passion, or for enlisting the cooperation and support of others, as Mars-Venus energy can help us in strengthening our power of attraction for whatever it is that we desire. It can also help us connect more effortlessly with other people.
