Mars opposite Pluto 2008

Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn

Since February 29 you have likely felt frustrated, suppressed and quite irritable about the fact that there was little you could do to change the feeling or the circumstances causing those feelings. Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Cancer was set in motion on September 21 and now is making its third and final hit. This is truly a martial aspect, bringing threat of violence, talk of war, building up of defenses, fierceness, and bringing out of the darker sides of ourselves. This is an edgy confrontation between aggressive warrior Mars in self-protective Cancer and power-hungry Pluto in determined Capricorn. There will be fights on the playground. Do not be surprised if you encounter people who want to oppose you at work, school or at the market. Do not be surprised if YOU want to confront certain people or situations and clear out the confusion. Try to be goal-oriented without being insensitive to other people. This final aspect of Mars to Pluto, however, is an opportunity to finally clear the air about things that began in late September. With a New Moon in Pisces occurring the same day, it translates into an opportunity to eliminate those relationships, people and negative situations that have caused restriction, and lay a new foundation for launching your initiatives.

Venus conjunct Neptune in Aquarius 2008

We have been dealing with the cool, detached emotions and fears of Venus in Aquarius for almost a month. People have been putting up emotional walls, denying their true feelings and running from intimate relationships. Relationships have been breaking up, especially spurred on by the Full Moon lunar eclipse of February 21.This is the Uranian aspect of Aquarius. The breakdown, breakups and escapes from love have been prefaced by cool, controlled, and sometimes sharply critical rationality (to mask fear). At the same time we have all had the celestial support to stand back, detach, gather facts and information and reflect upon WHY we may want to get involved in a relationship with someone or WHAT we like about the relationship in which we are currently involved. This is the Saturnian aspect of Aquarius.

Now, as Venus is on its way out of the constellation of Aquarius, it encounters Neptune in Aquarius. Neptune in Aquarius can encourage compassion, spirituality, creativity and idealism. It can also promote deceit, lying, withholding of self and information. Brought together today, Venus and Neptune is a soft energy that dissolve the unnecessary walls and encourage people to work together to fulfill their common and separate dreams out of love for one another – being it a platonic love for another human being or a sexual/romantic love for a special someone.

How are YOU experiencing this aspect today? Please feel free to share!
