Mars, our planet of will, is aligning with Jupiter, the planet of faith, luck and amplification. Read why we’ll feel the effects of this transit through the end of this week.
A conjunction conjunctions when two planets are within a few degrees of one another, creating a kind of magnetic pull and energetic mash-up between them.
To see this conjunction in action, look up to the eastern sky in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, between 2 a.m. and daybreak. As, “They’ll appear just a third of a degree apart, which is less than the width of the full moon.”Mars is our planet of action and intention. While rightly associated with aggression and conflict, when it joins forces with Jupiter, the planet of boons and benefits, that momentum can — if we’re careful — be transmuted in the best possible way.
The energy here is pure helium, enthusiastic and ambitious, flying high with nary a ceiling to restrict us … with the exception of Mercury retrograde, that coyote car salesman mucking up our momentum and our own habits of self-sabotage.As the sign of the twin and the mirror, Gemini shows us that we are always and ever our own worst enemies.
Owing to Gemini’s reputation for scattershot antics, now is not a time to initiate a slew of schemes but rather an invitation to commit, focus and dig deep into a current project that you plan to push forward or finalize when Mercury stations direct and clear its shadow next month.This conjunction can be read as our will meeting our conviction .
