• Become aware of what is really be said
• Love your individuality and vive la difference!
• Old wounds are transformed

The month begins to expand our empathy and awareness right as we enter into a week of the planets performing their very own version of the Harlem Shake. Mars turns retrograde in Libra and many of us may suddenly feel the tension that has been dogging our closest personal ties lessen as a result. The 2^nd sees Saturn turn retrograde in Scorpio and transformations and power struggles of a larger scale may also abate. Venus enters Aquarius on the 5^th bringing a revolutionary love the one you’re with/who is different/or love your individuality vibe into all of this while the following day Jupiter turns direct again in Cancer reconnecting us to whatever it is we need to create a sense of place and belonging. Don’t forget, the concept of family and security can take many forms so time to forge that individual vision – whatever works for you.

Ideas abound with the Grand Air Trine on the 9^th – just make sure with Mars now retro you do something with them rather than just sit around saying what you will do as you may get caught up in idealism and forget the practical aspects and you may be reminded of the need for this around the 11^th. Provided you do you can have the Mystic Rectangle of the 15^th working for you while the full Moon of the following day could expose a lack of attention to detail. There is no room for cutting corners and we may see in the media the effects of this.

Mercury’s entry into Pisces and meeting with Neptune heightens sensitivity and awareness of non-verbal ways of communication as another Cardinal Grand Cross forms. It’s the sub-text behind what is being said or the truth that actions reveal we need to pay attention to now. Are people saying one thing but their actions belie their words? Watch for contradictions now and around the Grand Water Trine of the 19^th as we are all being called to discern the truth as a spiritual practice.

The Sun enters Aries from the 20^th and we have another Grand Water Trine but this one involving Chiron as old wounds transform to be healed and turn into Proud flesh of the soul:

“…see how the flesh grows back
across a wound, with great vehemence,
more strong
than simple, untested surface before.
There’s a name for it on horses,
when it comes back darker and raised: proud flesh,
as all flesh
is proud of its wounds, wears them
as honours given out after battle,
small triumphs pinned to the chest -”

Jane Hirshfield – For What Binds Us

What binds us together be it collective soul wounds or individual ones, takes us to the month’s end and a new Moon appears in Aries ushering in a time of action after reflection – and healing.
