Mars in Gemini Trine Saturn in Aquarius
MARS RX IN GEMINI TRINE SATURN IN AQUARIUS.
“Where dwells the breath of all persisting stars” ~ E.E Cummings.
Mars rx through Gemini is a Joker, tossing mischievous mind grenades, sharpening blades & twisting tongues. In truth luvs, it’s a bit exhausting. And there’s still more ahead.
Yes, this is an excellent opportunity to revise & reframe our desires; yet there’s also a level of fucquery involved which requires elaborate footwork. There’s been more trick than treat of late with Mars. Especially for the next few days as Merc & Venus oppose the Warrior, & the playful tussle could become a furious ball of tooth & claw, (more on that later).
Enter Saturn - our steely weighted blanket, relentless & hyper-focused in Aquarius. Cronos adds ballast & persistence, meeting Mars in a helpful trine.
Now there’s some iron in the forge of our intentions, shaping the forms of our ideas, dreams & desires.
Astro story: malefics in Air signs - I know this archetype well. My natal Mars is in Aquarius - exactly where Saturn is now, & I have Saturn in Gemini, (I’ve been told I have a gift for martial arts, but I’ve no taste for contact sports).
Natally, the malefics form pretty tight trines to my Air luminaries.
But to the point.
For any who may feel overwhelm getting started, or staying the course. That the mountain of their dreams is too high to climb, too far to reach. I say this (it’s nothing new)…
…steady, small, daily habits build dreams. Grand gestures & surges of enthusiasm are intoxicating, but when their tides ebb, we may struggle to last the distance, or produce results that stand the test of time.
Keep going, dear hearts. Outlast the nay-sayers, detractors, & big talkers. Persist beyond this moment. Believe in your beautiful work, your purpose, your heart’s desire. Play the long-game. Hold the humility of the gift you want to give, which is you-but-not-you. Allow for cycles of energy - ebbs & flows.
For those of us with heavy Saturn & for whom discipline can be…too close a companion: remember to lighten up already. Seek rest, soften. Please indulge your gloriously dark, sanity-saving humour.
