Fire!

The next two weeks will be exciting! Venus (self-esteem) moves into aggressive Aries on Monday, setting us all up for initiating something in our own interest. We will have the energy to do more in less time and to feel confident about our decisions. About time, isn’t it?

Later this week, passionate Mars comes out of a months-long retrograde in the noble sign of Leo. This will give us the staying power to focus without allowing distractions to derail us, and to put emphasis on integrity and ethics. Wow.

Since we have been fairly bogged down with the energy of water due to last week’s Stellium in Pisces, we can now feel the dry land under our feet and come out from under the black cloud that began 2010 and see the silver lining. We are fortunate, indeed.

Forward we go, into a brave new world of a different consciousness. Take heed, though; BIG changes are coming again in April/May, so let’s not get cocky and think we’ve made it yet. Proceed with prudence, enjoy the moment, and nurture what you have. This is an interval of relief, so let’s grab it and enjoy it while we can!
