Mars/Jupiter in Aquarius

Developing Our Humanity & Consciousness

Astrology, like life, is never simply composed of ONE - anything. We are multi-dimensional beings, as is the planet we live on and the Universe to which we belong. So I should say that the 'highlight' of this article is Mars Conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius (happening Tues/February 17th) but as I am gathering my thoughts on this one thing, 10 other aspects of *now* jump in to my awareness as if to say to me, "Don't forget about me! Remind them about me too!"

Sun got together with Neptune in Aquarius on February 12th, dissolving any rough edges to your core being and then March 12th, Sun will align with Uranus in Pisces to help you remember how connected you are to the planet and every living thing. Venus and Mars are interacting, giving us opportunities to put our newly balanced masculine/feminine natures in to practice in real-time and with Jupiter right next to Mars, this EXPANDS the whole concept, along with Juno in this same mix, you are getting an extra boost of commitment to maintaining this balance. Your core being (Sun) is getting a similar opportunity to demonstrate any strides you've made in the purification/transformation department of your life (Pluto). As these energies contribute to the alchemical mix of the week, truly, anything is possible! And the highest possibility could be using the Mars/Jupiter combo to get out of your comfort zone and courageously initiate (Mars) a new aspect of your own personal story (Jupiter), something that will allow you to participate with a group of like-minded souls (Aquarius), pursuing a larger Truth which benefits the many.

So, back to my original point, Mars, the planet of energy, passion, action, our desire nature and warrior spirit ~ is ~ connecting with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, consciousness and Truth. They are connecting in Aquarius, which you would think would give these two the "detachment" that Aquarius so brilliantly teaches all of us and it WILL for those blessed souls well-anchored on their path and who consciously direct these energies. This is a beautiful opportunity to experiment (Aquarius) with a broader perspective of what you truly believe and what you can actually 'do' to live in harmony with your deepest faith and philosophy of life. These two getting together will prompt you to take action (Mars) on your personal Truth & Story (Jupiter). Or perhaps give you the courage (Mars) to at least FACE your personal Truth and Story (Jupiter) ... how are you both (you and your 'story') developing at this time? Tuning in to this energy is also activating Juno, connecting you to the healing and renewed commitment necessary to live your new Truth & Purpose in a way that genuinely serves the community (Aquarius) and in a way you which may not have been able to ... until now.

Aquarius 2009 Forecast ~ Major Alignments ~ Continuing the Shifts

Aquarius time expands your consciousness every year, but this year it has help from Jupiter (which only comes every 12 years) so make sure you take some time along the way to tap in to this potent energy. Some months we have more activations of varying importance, and while this month the quantity may be less, the quality is greater. The Sun enters Aquarius every year but Neptune is in Aquarius only from 1998 to 2011, leaving you only 2+ years to work this energy in to your core, essential nature (Sun). Neptune takes about 165 years to make its way through the zodiac, so we are closing a very large cycle over the next several years and the better you integrate this energy as an individual, the further along the collective will be in its conscious awareness and evolution. This is an important lesson the Universe has been trying to teach over the last several years: detachment, diversity and change where the family and community are concerned ... boundaries are an illusion and we are all connected so we better start acting like it by strengthening and fortifying SELF so that the service to the COMMUNITY is more substantial.

I remind you here that you are being prepared each and every day by the circumstances in which you find your Self and the choices you make along the way. Values and priorities are all-important ~ where is your current focus? How do you honor your own nature and serve your family / community and those people and entities which support your very existence? 2009 is helping you build strength and learn certain lessons you will want to have mastered (or at least gotten comfortable with) by the time 2010 arrives. Then 2010 is going to prepare you for 2011 ... and 2011 brings even more major changes leading up to and beyond 2012. You can only take things one day at a time, but Aquarius energy encourages you to be aware that everything you do as an individual affects those near and far, so be mindful of the baggage you carry in to this new era and the initiations you undertake.
