The end of the week brings two very different aspects.
Mercury/Uranus highlights mental breakthroughs and exciting encounters, while Venus/Mars may reveal tension and the need for adjustment.
Mercury sextile Uranus – breakthroughs, flashes of insights, wild ideas
Mercury makes a supportive sextile to Uranus, which may bring exciting news, a quirky connection or a mental breakthrough. I’ve long believed life change begins with change in the mind. This aspect will encourage you to shift your thinking about a specific issue or situation.
A fresh idea or flash of insight may help you uncover a solution. This aspect also diverts some of Uranus’ attention away from Pluto, onto more idealistic, innovative topics. It may be easier to excite others with your revolutionary ideas. It’s a great time to pitch an unconventional concept or project.
Venus square Mars – friction leads to progress in key relationships
There may be tension with someone close to you. Venus and Mars are the cosmic lovers, and as they square off, love may be…irritating. This aspect has an annoying quality to it, so try to be flexible or compromising if possible. Things may or may not go your way, but you have the chance to learn an important lesson about what togetherness truly means.
A key concept for any square aspect is ‘adjustment’. If a particular person or situation is frustrating you, think about how you could adjust your actions, thoughts or words to create ease.
Aspects and You
The cardinal signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn – are more likely to feel the Venus/Mars aspect.
Aries and Aquarius are the two signs activated by the Mercury/Uranus sextile.
If you know your chart, think about the houses that hold these signs. This can reveal the topics or areas of life activated for you under these aspects.
