Feeling wonky, sad, or overwhelmed?
This could be contributing:
Mercury stationed direct yesterday (April 25th), which is a time when things might stop working & there may be miscommunications as well as delays.
When Mercury slows to a stop to change direction, lots of things do too. It’s ultimately a time to fix what’s not been working & upgrade to a better system.
As Mercury starts moving forward again, so do we with the things we’ve been mulling over and reviewing since March 20th, when Mercury entered its shadow. These are Aries themes, as well as themes connected to your Aries house in your birth chart.
Some Aries themes you may have been reflecting on include:
-taking a risk or doing something that takes courage
-starting something new
-sex and sexuality
-military
-striking out on your own
Another reason things may feel off is that Mars, the god of war, action, & ruler of Mercury in Aries, is approaching a conjunction with Neptune, god of dreams, loss, compassion, the oceans, and the vast oneness that permeates all things.
This aspect will perfect on Sunday, April 28th.
As such, your motivation to get things done might be waning & there may be more of a sense of being adrift at sea while there are lots of things to do on shore.
There could also be a greater sense of sadness or grief to be explored. The woes of the world may feel more present than ever.
Mars is inherently severing, urging us to go at it alone. And when Mars contacts Neptune, a planet that urges us to merge and move towards the unseen thread that connects us to each other & to everything else, it can be especially hurtful to feel cut off from the places connection or union aren’t available, where love or desire isn’t expressed, & where our needs for being deeply seen & soulfully contacted haven’t been met.
Mars reflects our anger as well. Rage or anger could be surfacing if our vital needs for safety and connection have been threatened along with a feeling of helplessness or hopelessness that there’s nowhere for it to go.
Breathe. Be with the part of you that hasn’t felt seen, met, or valued. You’re not alone.
Try to:
-chill out & find a healthy way to escape
-be with your feelings & pay attention to your boundaries
-be near water
-find someone to be with who is soulful & can reach your depths
-meditate/find a creative flow state
-move slowly & gently explore
-cuddle & ground
-help someone out (without becoming a martyr)
