This Thursday, February 22nd is a turbo-charged cosmic event, as Mars unites with Venus at 6°30′ Aquarius – igniting inner passion, desires, forging new unions and an explosion of creativity. I was born with my Venus conjunct Mars, always feeling their interaction and balancing woven within. Venus and Mars joining in Aquarius, enhances the sign of Lovers and the interaction of feminine and masculine energies within our being and with others.
While Pluto at 00°00 Aquarius joins this transit, expect a shakeup with interpersonal relationship patterns that are outdated, unhealthy or destructive. The new circular system is visible in the galaxy, as completely formed stars orbiting each other. As we adjust to the new system, we realize where we are out of alignment with others, where we are not fully formed or whole, where we lean too much on others in codependency.
This powerful mashup may bring up deep core emotions from past relationship wounds, as well as stuck trauma from shadow feminine or shadow masculine abuse. All needs to be released into the Refiner’s Fire of Purification. Set aside some time this week for quiet self-reflection on your deeper desires, passions and past relationships. What requires healing? Where can you improve? What needs shifting? Are you being true to yourself?
