Venus – Mars combinations can often bring lovely relationship moments, whether it’s friendship, business or romance, so pay close attention to whoever is playing an active role in your life this week. Even the matters that have been stuck for a long time can now start moving in the right direction so look out for the hallmarks of red lights switching to green, of patience being rewarded.
Any planet, not just Mercury, conjunct the Sun to within 17 minutes of arc (ie just over a quarter of a degree) is said to be “cazimi” – defined as being in “the heart of the Sun”. It’s a window of opportunity, the stuff of light bulb moments, vital information or having the chance to get your point across exactly in the right way and at the right time. In that hot spot is a golden nugget of truth, true connection or a lifeline of help.
Jupiter the Greater Benefic arriving at 0 Aries, sign of the self, is a massive and passion filled fanfare for the ego, as in returning to a healthy ego state. It’s time to choose what is right for you, especially if you’ve been living your life in a way that suits others but is making you personally miserable.
Most important point is to clock what unfolds for you this weekend, it might be a one-off event or it might be the beginning of something that will take shape between now and January, especially if you have planets or Angles at or very close to 15 degrees Capricorn or Taurus, or their opposite signs of Cancer or Scorpio.
This is a big shift in mood and approach as these two personal planets finish their journeys through Jupiter’s sign of Sagittarius and start their new journeys through Saturn’s sign of Capricorn. With regard to your personal issues or dilemmas look out for the serious, realistic or just common sense factors coming into play.
