Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer us collectively. If you’re looking to access personalized astrological and self-care insights to help you navigate the now, I’d love to do a Stellar Guidance Session with you.
How do you deal with conflict?
Does it excite you? Terrify you? Energize you? Deplete you?
When you perceive that someone is standing in opposition to you, how do you feel? What does it incite within you? And, how do you ascertain whether they are actually in that antagonist position or whether it’s an assumption you’ve made based upon past experiences that have colored the way you perceive the realm of who/what is adversarial, hostile, and combatant?
I ask these questions as this topic seems like it may be forefront in our minds this week owing to the Mars/Chiron Conjunction that occurs on Wednesday. This once-every-two-years alignment can inspire us to look at the wounding that we may have related to expressing our will, moving our energy, championing for ourselves, and feeling empowered in our declaration of Yes or No.
I believe that this week provides us with an exquisite healing opportunity related to further understanding our relationship to conflict. We may recognize stories and limiting beliefs that have kept us back from fully mobilizing ourselves in pursuit of our aims. Additionally, we may witness the theme of the wounded warrior appearing, whether in ourselves or another, and make space for it. Looking back to our family system and surveying our ancestral lineage may yield allowance for the arrival of both awareness and healing salves.
Friday’s Mercury/Uranus Conjunction invites us to break out of overly etched patterns of communication. Invite in redesign and relanguaging. See if there is a different way to share your thoughts and feelings with others while also being open to information sources that are not your go-to. Whenever Uranus is in the mix, there seems to be a greater propensity to notice the emergence of the out-of-the-blue. Let surprises shake up your usual way of perceiving things, seeing what awareness and knowledge it is that you now have greater access to.
As I shared last week, this past Saturday, expansive Jupiter moved into Gemini, ushering in a year period in which Gemini-related themes may feel more pronounced. As I noted in that post, I wanted to share more information on it this week. To that aim, I created a short article that includes some possible themes that may emerge, dates for past Jupiter in Gemini cycles, a few examples of what emerged during past cycles, and what it means to have a Jupiter Return. You can find it here.
Wishing you a beautiful week,
