Mercury in Pisces semisquares Pluto in Capricorn.

Mars enters Taurus.

Happy Valentine’s day! The first aspect of the day is when Mercury in Pisces semisquares Pluto in Capricorn. Now this has the potential to create friction between our mind, communication and thought process with the emotional need to heal, change and transform. Today makes for some intense and dramatic ideas and communication, power dynamic and control issues and self realizations. It’s a great day for self therapy and healing work, day dreaming and soul-searching. It’s also a day were we get much-needed “Aha moments” during our mental and verbal confusion.

Mars, the planet of direct action, motivation, self-determination and willpower has been in its ruling sign of impulsive hot-headed Aries since the start of 2019. Today as it moves in sensual and grounded Taurus the energy is more patient and slow-paced. Mars in Aries was headstrong, it rushed and wanted things done now! However when Mars in Taurus we are able to think before we act and take a more cautious approach to the way we tackle things. Mars in Taurus gives us perseverance, strength, and the ability to build a strong foundation in any plans you make.

Now is a time to slow down and enjoy life, connect with nature and enjoy the beautiful and small pleasures of life.  However, the shadow side of Mars in Taurus is we may get stuck in a rut of laziness and loose all motivation, don’t let this slow-paced energy weigh you down to much that you forget your dreams all together.  Find a relaxed and flexible approach to balancing out your life.

Look to the house that holds Taurus in your chart for greater understanding in how you approach your desired goals and dreams. Stop and smell the roses during Mars transition, get out in nature and enjoy the simple pleasure of life.

Happy Valentines Day!
