Mars is approaching a conjunction with Saturn, which will be exact next Wednesday, April 10th. You may have noticed this energy since March 22nd, when Mars entered Pisces.
Mars is a planet that likes to go fast, get things done, and take swift action. Saturn is a planet that also likes to get things done, but in a much slower more steady manner. This can create a highly productive mood, but also one where we must chip away at something slowly and with sustainability in mind.
Pisces is a sign of the magical, mystical, spiritual, and the compassionate. The intelligence of Pisces is to dream and then let be, allowing things to come together naturally and in a flow-like manner.
This could create some anxiety for folks who like more control or need to plan everything out, but if you can just relax, let go, and not try too hard, you just might find you’ll do better than you would if you followed a strict regimen. And, it’ll be less stressful & more enjoyable.
Perhaps you’ve been working on a project focused on helping others. Or maybe it’s a creative endeavor that involves intuition and flow states of mind. It could be that you’re constructing something that takes a lot of imagination and that has multiple components. Pisces is a mutable sign, signifying the end of Winter. Mutable signs need multiplicity, change, and lots of texture! Whatever it is you’re working on, Mars demands doing and Saturn demands doing it well & being precise.
Just be wary of compassion fatigue & burnout.
If Mars is the gas pedal, then Saturn is the brakes.
It’s a good idea to pause and rest, create a (loose) structure for the long haul, and be strategic about breaks and self-care if you have a lot to do this week.
Pisces reminds us that we don’t need to rush… that often the best works of art, imagination, & healing endeavors come when we relax and allow the form to reveal itself, ready to be born into shape through intuition & listening.
