VENUS TRINE MARS

Sparks fly as Venus, the goddess of love currently stationed in straightforward Sagittarius, forms a trine with the god of war, Mars, comfortably stationed in its Aries rulership at 10:50 AM. A trine is one of the major astrological aspects, denoting when two celestial bodies are within 120° of each other. Regarded as a positive aspect, the two planets’ energy will combine to benefit us in some way, shape or form.

But when you combine the powerful trine with the force of a Mercury-Pluto conjunction in tenacious Capricorn at 2:01 PM, a romantic impact is almost guaranteed.

Mercury, the planet of communication, wants us to focus on long-term goals while in Capricorn. We may see themes of frugality and practicality arise at this time.

Whatever this aspect reveals to us today, it’s going to impact us in the long term and will likely require solid effort through realistic planning and boundary setting. Be deeply honest with yourself at this time and reclaim your power from wherever you’ve placed it.

SUN SEXTILE CHIRON

Feeding off of the Mars-Venus trine’s motivating cosmic forces, we will want to explore and learn as the Capricorn sun sextiles retrograde Chiron in Pisces 6:57 PM. When two celestial bodies are two signs or 60° apart they form a sextile, a positive astrological aspect thought to present opportunities.

SUN SQUARE URANUS

Unusual Uranus promises the unexpected while the sun symbolizes ego, moral compass and sense of purpose.

Do whatever it takes to ease your nerves. If you don’t, your behavior may be erratic and irrational. Pay attention to the outbursts of others. They can be quite revealing. With our ego strengthened by the Chiron-sun sextile, we may borderline feeling cocky. Letting this get the best of you could result in petty arguments, which will only lead to negative consequences. Stay flexible with your plans at this time and embrace change.

MOON SQUARE CHIRON

Just as the Capricorn Sun squares Uranus, the Gemini Moon forms a square with Chiron, retrograde in Pisces. Our emotional state may be in crisis thanks to the combination of these two squares. Don’t bottle it up! We may feel awkward expressing our needs but hollow responses such as, “I’m fine,” will be plain for everyone to see and regarded as a sign of weakness. Be strong and stand up for yourself. But find the balance not to turn into a blubbering mess spilling your guts to anyone who will listen. Although the word vomit may feel good at first, shame may set in after – and you won’t be able to take back what is said.

MOON SEXTILE URANUS

In order to feel whole and prevent self-sabotage, it is time to prioritize your needs. Balance must be established between your sense of independence and intimacy.
