“The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.” John Ruskin

COSMIC WEATHER:

Hard work, persistence, and a willingness to apply ourselves may bring some “karmic rewards” our way today, as we have both the power-generating Sun and motivator Mars harmoniously trined to taskmaster Saturn, the planet traditionally billed as the “Lord of Karma.”

Saturn reigns supreme over our more serious accomplishments and endeavors in life. Saturn rules labor, goal-setting, and self-discipline. It denotes the structure and foundation in our lives. It’s the glue that holds everything together for us. It’s also the “guilt factor.” Today we can make excellent strides in stabilizing the things around us. Getting stuff “to stick.” Too, we may want to seek out the support of more “experienced” or “senior” persons, “our elders,” or “mentors,” all symbolically denoted by Saturn which also governs “practical wisdom” and “common sense.”

Additionally, with both the Sun and Mars trine Saturn in diplomatic Libra, it may be a very good time to “give peace a chance.” Also, it’s an excellent day for formulating succession plans. (Thought it was interesting, too, that on the eve of these Sun-Mars-Saturn aspects, the new U.S.-Russian “START treaty took effect. Mars rules weapons and defense issues. With Saturn, we are usually more willing to “restrain” or “curb” our “martian” aggressive impulses, although the Sun is still conjoined with fiery Mars, which is a potentially a more aggressive, volatile aspect.)

With that said, we also may need to: “Hold the fries. Forgo the extra helping of macaroni and cheese, or fried chicken. Refrain from having too much sex or alcohol” today (this could be painful for some of us, especially the fried chicken). The reason for this restrictive mandate is because we have “sweetheart” Venus exactly square to generous, “over-sizer” Jupiter. A major template for overindulgence in all things pleasurable, including love.
