Written in the Planets

A busy and turbulent astrological week ahead kicks off today with Mars in the last degree of Libra, an inherently tense and edgy placement. The final degrees of a sign are considered ‘critical,’ and planets there can inspire a sense of urgency. This could go double for Mars, which expresses ego drives and the action we must take to fulfill them. The warrior of the planetary pantheon has been debilitated in Libra; it’s a scratchy combination where martial energies must work within diplomatic channels, instead of acting with direct force. As the ruler of the Scorpio Sun and Mercury, this might have translated into feeling frustrated and more hampered in your efforts than usual, even and especially given Mercury’s retrograde.

Mars enters its feminine home sign of Scorpio overnight (2:40 am Tuesday, EST), setting the stage for Mercury’s station direct on Wednesday. That means we’re in the Mercury storm, and usual precautions for extra attentiveness are in order. In Scorpio, the swirling and potentially confusing conditions as Mercury approaches its apparent change of direction might register with a heavy sense of emotional momentum, lurking beneath the surface.

Mars in Scorpio is very strong; it’s the brilliant strategist with a black belt who never loses sight of the target. Mars functions to fulfill desire, and Scorpio is the sign of instinctual, emotional needs. Woven into the Scorpio signature is the desire for truth, to get down to the nitty-gritty core of mystery and experience that power. What desires are you most passionate to fulfill? What strategies can you imagine that will help you do so? Forward motion resumes this week, with plenty of mojo to help you seek and find.
