Mars in Cancer - A Covenant Between Wolves and Lambs - All 3 Decans
Astrological tradition names the sign of Cancer as the Fall of of the Mars. Indeed, Luna’s Temple offers a uniquely bewildering set of quagmires for the War God to overcome. But Mars also possesses an often overlooked potency in the Crab’s primeval waters, from which he draws powers of both redemption and ruin. The Red Planet’s time in this sign heralds the uncomfortable union of Wolves and Lambs, introducing fire and sword to that which is tender and yielding. Those who’s fate it marks must learn what is truly worth fighting for, as well as when to cast weapons aside. Those who master it become protectors and champions of the vulnerable, guarding against those monsters who pray on the weak, as well as those who lurk within the shadows of our own hearts.
Saturn in Pisces: Through a Glass, Darkly
In Astrology, Saturn represents limits, restrictions, structure and discipline. The sign of Pisces represents our relationship with what lies beyond the visible, the transcendent, and how we commune with it in order to redeem our experience here on earth. When Saturn bares its weight down on the topics of Pisces, as it will for the next 2 and a half years and continue to in the lives of those born to it, we come to know what it means to look "through a glass, darkly," to peer into the void in search of the ineffable, only to find ourselves staring back. This connection all human beings naturally seek with what lies beyond, some call God, or Spirit or Divinity. Whatever you choose to call it, the gulf which spans between us and it can seem insurmountable for some, for others the fleeting and tenuous contacts made with it can not be easily discerned from the musings of our own imaginations. Saturn in Pisces represents a confrontation with the walls which separate us from both the divine as well as our fellow corporeal travelers. The wall is in fact a necessary structure built to contain individual consciousness, but any structure can become a prison when you can not find its doors. Saturn insists that we come to know and respect these walls, so that we may in time become responsible gatekeepers as well as caretakers for what dwells with in them.
Venus in Aries Through the Decans
Few know the creative and destructive potential that results when the will to action is ignited by the spark of a heart's desire, as do those born under Venus in the Sign of Aries. She is author to romantic works of both comedy and tragedy worthy of sagas. Though she must weather firestorms born of passion and lust, the many glamours she weaves in the Sign of The Ram burn brightly and are capable of leaving their imprint emblazoned eternally on the hearts and minds of those who stand in her light.
