The overarching theme this week is work smarter not harder. Eventually by next mid week, things should ease up a bit but until then and since mid August it may have felt like everything has been difficult and all work with Mars and Saturn conjunct in Scorpio. Forcing actions seem to increase the frustration and resentments. Mars wants to take action like a swift sword hitting it's mark but in deep feeling Scorpio he has to talk and process a lot of deep emotions so he's too weighed down to use his sword to forge boldly ahead just yet. Plus Saturn the planet of responsibility and lessons is hovering over Mars, pushing for this deep work and commitment to our emotional and intimate relationships. Unless this heavy soul searching is something you enjoy this may feel like you are walking through mud uphill but it will not be in vain as it's a necessary step before we enjoy glorious freedom on the other side when Mars moves into Sagittarius on Sept. 13th and then Saturn as well on 12/23/2014. These two are huddled together now to help finish up the chapter of the story that was started mid-August of 2012 when they were in Libra the sign ruling one on one romantic relationships, business clients, art, beauty, diplomacy and love. Whatever area of your birth chart that Scorpio rules is where this story is moving onto its next phase.
The days that will be the heaviest where you might want stay in bed all day are this weekend Aug 30- 31. Takes things slow and steady as the moon joins Mars and Saturn with expansive Jupiter getting close enough to blow up anything that has been ready to pop. All those resentments that you have been holding back from saying could finally have their moment. All the explosiveness in Ferguson, MO may likely get reignited unless the police take steps to really listen and validate the protesters and let go of their ridiculous over militaristic stance. It will add another layer of intensity to everything. If you are someone who is "challenged" with holding your temper in check these aspects if you haven't noticed already may trigger some explosions. This energy is about learning what works and what doesn't in your life and making appropriate changes that are authentic to you.
The Sun in Virgo has been opposing Neptune for the last few days and will peak on Sat. Aug 30. And finish up by next Tuesday. This adds a dreamy like mood to the world or it can muddy the relationship waters. It may cause confusion or misguided goals to seem fully realistic. Another person or situation could appear wonderful or super seductive. On the low side for the next week if you are prone to escapism, it may draw you in to drugs, alcohol abuse or obsessions. Focusing on the creative or spiritual aspects are the most useful ways to handle it. On the high side Neptune could prompt us to commit to service, volunteering, art, drama or spiritual explorations. A cautionary note, Neptune strong in Pisces in this position dissolves the ego, and the Sun in Virgo opposing it may have us torn between real world practicality and our dreams. With all the other aspects helping us feel restricted this may put a further burden on our expectations.
