Tomorrow (2/13) and Sunday (2/14), Mercury is sandwiched between the two benefics, Venus and Jupiter, around 13 and 14 degrees of Aquarius. Mercury is the god of communication and mental exchanges of all kinds. He rules over messages, deliveries, commerce, and our minds. As he’s been in retrograde, we’ve been in a state of reflection and review. It’s been a time of introspection and mulling over, not a time of taking action. As such, it’s a beneficial time to make meaningful connections with others, but not necessarily the right time to make binding agreements.
While Mercury wants to talk and wheel and deal, Venus wants to relate, and Jupiter wants to provide the wine. This is an excellent time to make amends with someone and start over, extend a warm hand, have a jovial interaction, or express yourself creatively through the written form or spoken word. Think of creativity, beauty, abundance, and the intellect. What can you create? Make art, write poetry, blog, gather your materials, do your research, and speak words filled with love and generosity. And do these creative activities with others. Especially with the conjunction of these three planets happening in Aquarius, this must be a collaborative effort.
A new perspective could be in the process of becoming available to you regarding a relationship, a course of study, your spiritual beliefs, or even how you’re marketing yourself if you’re an entrepreneur. An inspirational and artistic idea born this weekend may come back around on March 4th for completion when Mercury conjoins Jupiter again, this time in direct motion. Conjunctions are times of planting seeds, and once again, with Mercury in retrograde, it’s not the time to make a commitment or to start something new. Instead, sit back, relax, and let what feels alive inside of you come forth naturally to be explored, celebrated, and enjoyed amongst friends. They may even have ideas to add to yours.
There will be plenty of time to act upon a new dream, a new love, or a new insight. But right now, we’re still brainstorming, seeing who our allies are, reconciling, and enjoying the process of gathering data.
To know how this may be impacting you, look to see which house is activated- where is 13-14 degrees of Aquarius in your chart? What planets are being activated?
I’m open for consultations come March to discuss these planetary cycles.
