Now that Mercury, planet of the mind and communications, is back in Sagittarius, it approaches a conjunction with Mars while being in a square with Neptune.
This is tricky territory.
Mars is a planet about taking action. Neptune is a a planet about dreams, illusion, & mystery. The 23rd to the 27th could make you feel like you need to make moves NOW while unsure of where to go.
Heightened feelings of anxiety could be more present than usual due to illogical thinking. Be wary of your mind playing devilish tricks on you. Take note of thinking errors. Try and communicate as clearly as possible and make a list of what you know to be true- the facts. Let all other stories go.
Be mindful of fighting words or trying to be decisive too soon. Consider that you don’t have all the information or that there’s a misunderstanding.
Patience is key. We may be in the fog for a while, and that’s ok.
Neptune is also a planet about compassion & vision. Mars is the warrior, who defends and protects. This is a good time to be thinking about what you want to fight for and why. Strategize, but don’t necessarily act on your convictions, as you may be missing another perspective.
Mars also cuts & stings. And Mercury retrograde square Neptune can indicate difficult mental health states.
Where are your thoughts taking you? It’s a good time to question their validity & to reach out to others if you’re wrestling with inner demons. It’s brave & vulnerable to do so, something Mars is a teacher of.
On the other hand, be courageous in showing your care. Reach out to those you think may be struggling. Tell the truth to another about how you feel. Apologize. Be humble. Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius can tempt us to be arrogant- to think we know the Truth.
Neptune in Pisces reminds us that at the end of the day, we don’t know anything…
That all we have for “truth” is the subjectivity of our emotions & mysteries of our heart’s longings.
And if we can’t boldly and honestly share our feelings with each other, then not only can trust never be developed, something Neptune tests us with, but a higher love can never be shared.
It takes audacity to express love. How will you show it?
