Mars returns to [tropical] Aquarius [11.31 IST] Venus follows in 9 mins [11.40 IST] Mars brings its aggression in Aquarius to the collective. Resistance. Exponential rise in civil rights, protests, power of the people, humanitarianism. Mars has switched sides from state (Capri)✊🏽
Venus now leaves Capri after 4 months, which realigned the truths of *many* relationships. In Aquarius, she brings passion, connection to ideas. Innovation (a necessity caused by war, inflation, plague) peak. Unique art, music, languages of protest emerge. Mercury is copresent
Venus and Mars make their 3rd conjunction exact at 0° [12:25 IST]. Kissing to part. Heightened passion. Terms to agree upon. Then, they square Uranus in Taurus, how we relate to the earth. We become passionate about common ground. We are earthed by an abstract collective cause.
We learn to use our words now. Non violent & aesthetic communication for the benefit of all rises, esp when Mercury shifts into [tropical] mystic Pisces This time, Venus passes Mars, she's brighter, faster. Mars can't catch her. Her joy is out of Mars, Pluto's power plays.
individually: you aspire to a higher cause to align with, that inspires your passion & creativity. that moves you to expression. you see yourself as interdependent. connected. that's what you'll fight for.
*also be cautious of the virus in all this collective air energy
In the sidereal: today Mercury transits into Aquarius [11:31 am] Shatabhisha where Jupiter and Sun are copresent. this forms the Buddhaditya Yoga. Ripe for the greatest works of art, literature, creativity. expect a new generation of masterpieces. Also commerce, trade boosted
Also my std note: Saturn is watching until April 29th. Balance your books, stay humble, think of others, work for something beyond yourself. A pattern that has gone before may come up as a test when Saturn's cycle approaches its end. Make good choices this time.
NB: In sidereal, Mars moves to Aquarius April 7, 2022. Remains in Uttarashada, Capricorn, currently. In India's chart, it trines nodes and ascendant. [in short, the state currently has power, control, assertiveness and harmony].

many a time people come in to therapy, will get the tail end of an intervention, obtain one or two insights and feel like 'hey I resolved this' and stop therapy. here's why that's problematic
first, if you're starting out therapy, you're not likely to be given the whole intervention. an exercise often has many components and stages to it that builds on revealed insight. for instance, you have an a-ha moment in journalling. that's probably not the *end* of therapy
it's more likely to be the *beginning*. a therapist may ask you to start journalling (using this as an eg since many are familiar with it) as a way to ease you in, get your thoughts out with clarity, cultivate a habit of self reflection, remove filters in thought process
The #weekly#tarot couldn't have been more apt for the stellium in Pisces [Jupiter, Neptune, Sun] and the constant quiet copresence of Mercury. It seems a reminder that beneath the chaos, there is purpose, message on its way. Just go with the flow. Indeed what else can we do
It reminds me of these lines from the poem 'The Word' by Tony Hoagland.
It's as though Mercury, Jupiter in Pisces are summoning the mystical, keeping it luminous, flowing, bright, because the surface is so harsh. You have a place to go. it is inside you. 8 of Wands here is not just an external message, or creative output but a need for self communion
Heart wrenching to watch Zelenskyy struggle with the harsh truth. The West has already let him down. NATO is not coming. the EU is not coming. the US is not coming. They won't declare a no fly zone. No one who propped him up is coming to save him. He's been played.
And he repeats it heroically, futilely, post after post. like some tragic Greek hero. His hamartia is that he still believes. That he inspires belief. And as long as he holds to delusion they will keep telling him what he wants to hear. but they won't sacrifice themselves for him
seeing reality is the most important act of the mind. knowing how things really are, recognising that there are interplays beyond the apparent. Even Israel won't anger Russia, not even for a Jewish president. so wheels dont turn as expected. mechanisms we take for granted fail us
This is a talk that's 7 years old. Some useful insights (without pointless interruptions) from UoC prof John Mearsheimer. Key insights on the geopolitical shift towards an Asian axis. Journalism just seems to be giving us chest thumping PoVs now.
ran into an old friend who is a fund manager. when I was buying a house 10 yrs ago he kept telling me not to waste my money. today he's relocated cos he cant justify the high rent and im relocating cos selling a house that's appreciated 400% allows me a lifestyle I want.
im no good with money, honestly, and certainly not one to give financial advice, but I think going with what makes simple common sense to you is important. I invested in a house because I didnt know or understand any other way to save or grow my money.
I think like diet advice, blanket advice never works. it has to work with your personal income, spending habits, constraints, responsibilities. owning a house when you're a woman alone is also security which most $$$ people ive spoken to dont understand.
why is there a mental health impact when symbols such as parliament, of constitutional sanctity, the apex courts, are vandalised? Because it violates our personal sense of security, justice. the court of last appeal is dismantled. our vulnerability rises. we feel unprotected.
in such times we go to the primal sources of our security, which is often parental, home, groups and identities we belong to, community, religion. a banding together can give us the sense of security that comes from the herd or tribe.
These times are harder for those of us who do not have that in itself available to us. many of us who are without these primal cocoons in one form or the other. It is important to locate in these times what our sense of rootedness & structure comes from and take refuge in that
