All About Mars In Aries & Venus Squares Pluto

 Venus enters Aries today, which we discussed in my last newsletter. As this energy settles, Mars enters Aries tomorrow, once again and I have some mixed feelings. It settles into the fire sign from April 30th to June 9th and truly feels at home there. This is because it is one of the signs that it rules and loves to rule.

On one hand, our energy becomes a bit more adventurous, perhaps even a little spontaneous. 

On the other, we tend to look toward the future during this transit, and we do it bravely. 

This is an incredible time for manifestation, going for our dreams, and really getting after what it is that we want in love. 

However, the goal to win can take over during this transit and it can be really depleting and even all-encompassing to the point that it becomes all we talk about, think about, and see.

That same day we also have Venus squaring Pluto which shows us some of our weakness and where our energy might be being syphoned. This becomes a balancing act to start off this transit, let dive into all of that, shall we?

Like I said, Mars feels at home in Aries, which means its power is boosted and expanded in this placement. Our energy becomes somewhat courageous under this energy influence and we gain a layer of confidence that simply wasn’t there before. Our actions become much more direct and our words, to the point. 

We can also become arrogant, impulsive, and self-centered. Yep, Mars is the god of war after all. He also started off as the god of agriculture and then became the god of war. This tells us that it will be so important to remain both physically nourished and energetically grounded at this time.

Deep into the Earth our roots go, as we bravely project our energy forward in confidence. Sounds easy enough right?

I guess what I’m saying is that as we become more active and confident during this transit, we may be called back to the basics as well. 

In staying grounded we will have more access to intuition and truth, which is so very important as this all begins. 

Like I mentioned, that same day Venus squares Pluto and anything that connects us to a lower self-esteem or the energetic parts of us that are being syphoned by jealousy, insecurity, or any other lack of worth, will rear at this time. 

This is the point though, anything that can’t come with you in the gorgeous month of May, will have to be shown the door during the last days of April. Thank Venus, she’s not messing around at all right now friend. 

We may see others around us become more jealous, needy, or demanding. It will be important for you to come back and anchor to what is true for you right now.

Don’t be afraid to take the time to do that this week as we usher in some really beautiful and fresh energy almost immediately as May begins.

As you pursue a straightforward approach these next few weeks, lean into the truth that you are safe to be authentic and any insecurities you feel are simply passing through and not truly defining you. 

Concern yourself with what you can accomplish now and try not to jump ahead too far in your thinking as to not overthink or self-sabotage. Confidently pursue your desires and that which is yours for the taking at this time, I assure you that the rest will follow.

Mantras
