“Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.” – Daniel Webster

Cosmic Watch:

After eight months in proud, creative Leo, the Energy planet Mars ventures into practical, analytical Virgo (2:11 am EDT) where it will stay until the end of July. Virgo is the sign of work and service, so Mars here can be very productive and very capable in a mentoring capacity. Ideally, we will be able to get a lot accomplished in the next several weeks with Mars systematically moving through this fastidious sign.

Also, to find out what area in your life Mars is impacting you, check to see where Virgo is in your horoscope.  The house that holds the sign of Virgo, is where you have the Mars momentum going to bat for you now.

On the shadow side today, however, the energy around us may feel a little more stifling than supportive to our cause. This is because it is a transition day with assertive Mars shifting to more restrained Virgo and then forming an awkward aspect (quincunx) to indulgent Jupiter and rebel Uranus in spontaneous Aries. Plus, we also have the Moon in impetuous Aries!

Historically, we have sometimes seen more demonstrations, even outright revolt with Mars-Uranus aspects as we are often quicker to react to what is taking place around us now. We may also feel the need for more personal freedom, at this time, as well as a desire to embrace sudden changes that disrupt daily routines.

Too, on the shadow side, Mars quincunx Jupiter can sometimes rachet up fanaticism or intolerance towards those who hold beliefs, ideologies that are different from what we espouse. It may be wise to keep in mind that our liberty is often judiciously preserved as a byproduct of restraint. That our own self-development is often contingent on exercising some degree of self-control and perhaps intentionallyseeking to minimize our knee-jerk responses to hot-button issues
