A cosmic triple play takes place over the next few days, bringing together the generous spirit of Jupiter, the curiousity of Mercury and the affection of Venus.
This can be an uplifting energy, as your mind (Mercury) and heart (Venus) open to consider new possibilities. Jupiter is the think big planet, which can help motivate you to reach for things you’d only dreamed about. You may realise the barriers to manifesting a dream, as this aspect may bring events to show you where change or refocus is required.
Venus and Jupiter will be in opposition until the weekend. This creates some tension, especially between people and possibilities. When planets oppose, they sit symbolically at opposite ends of a see saw, each vying for your attention.
The Future vs The Past
Venus in Capricorn is focussed on long term plans, and the work required to succeed. Jupiter in Cancer highlights family, security and the need to protect what you have or love. One is focussed on preparing for the future; the other on the past.
Mercury in Scorpio acts as a go between, helping to mediate between the two. (Mercury is creating an ‘easy opposition, by making a trine to Jupiter and a sextile to Venus, as they oppose each other.) A new kind of balance is required, so consider where life is off kilter.
With Mercury as mediator, conversations and information can help bridge any gap.
Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all have a connection to Mars*, which suggests topics and experiences now are ultimately designed to facilitate progress, decisions and organisation. (Mars is in Virgo, where routine and details matter!)
These planets align across three yin or feminine signs – Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn. Realisations and change are likely to occur as a result of an inner or private shift. Let your feelings guide you forward, rather than react to external events.
* Mercury is in Mars’ sign, Venus is in the sign of Mars’ exaltation and Jupiter is in the sign of Mars’ triplicity.
Are you aware of the Venus/Jupiter seesaw, and a tug of heart? Is Mercury – information, exchange, ideas – helping you find balance?
