COSMIC WEATHER:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo

We have a potent triple conjunction of Mercury (thoughts), Mars (motivator), and Neptune (fantasy) in innovative Aquarius today. The sign that also rules group behavior and the collective at large.

Creative types will ideally thrive today as Neptune rules the imagination, artistic or musical expression, while Mercury and Mars can serve to fire these things up.

Aquarius energy can also kindle our originality and any sparks of genius within. Potentially allotting us the courage and wherewithal to view our lives and options in exciting new ways.

Additionally, this triple grouping of the planets can be a very spiritual time when we feel more of a link with the divine, as Neptune rules our urge for transcendence. Meditation, prayer, engaging in random acts of kindness, or perhaps visiting those who are ill or infirm, or otherwise confined, would be some positive ways of using this energy in its most sublime manner.

Again, with this conjunction occurring in group-oriented Aquarius, aligning with groups or organizations that do-good works for the collective, would also be a natural fit.

Too, lest we forget, Neptune’s mantra is: “Serve or suffer.”

On the shadow side with this influence, there is potentially more of a tendency for “misplaced aggression.”  This is perhaps because the aggressive urge, ruled by Mars, has a potential for being somewhat disguised with its alignment with masquerading Neptune.

Historically, Mars-Neptune has also been associated with martyrdom or persecution, including taking advantage of those who are possibly weaker or do not often seem to have a voice in their own affairs, like the downtrodden or disenfranchised groups.

We may also be well-advised to pay closer attention to the particular impulses that are driving our behavior and decisions now, and consider steering clear of acting on any irrational or self-aggrandizing ideas that do not propel us upward, to a better place in our head.

“There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid.” – Frederick W. Cropp.
