New Moon and Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries: Soul Food

Did you make it through April? While intensity continues to play out this spring,with the annual line-up of planets in Taurus squaring off Against Pluto in Aquarius, there’s the relief of Mercury moving direct again (it retrogrades next in August, an intriguing month, astrologically.)

In April, with the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Aries where we had the eclipse, that sign's ruler, Mars put the emphasis on force, willpower, personal power but also powerlessness, as that's a big theme with menace-y Pluto squares (check out Nadiya Shah's great recent weeklies on the topic.)

Mars is where we directly apply our will and focus our energies and when it's moving in forward motion it takes about 6 weeks for the red planet to move through a sign (in November, because Mars will go retrograde it will transit through Leo and Cancer for several months, a critical time in the cosmic calendar.)

Since Mars was in Pisces the last several weeks, our creativity could have gone into high-gear and our imaginations, for better and for worse could also have gotten the best of us. Mars in Pisces is wonderful at boundless, compassionate, wild, spiritual and self-less pursuits... 

but on the shadow end you may have experienced a scattering of energies, confusion about your direction or like things just felt really strange...but you couldn't put your finger on why?

With Mars now in Aries things already feel very different. Impatient but also focused directly on its goal with ZERO apologies and a no-tolerance policy for co-dependent style relating. 

If you need to make substantial headway on what matters most in your business, this could be that time. As entrepreneurial leaders that can feel invigorating; since we are in Taurus season though, it is about being deliberate and taking a slow, grounded approach to what you do. 

A beautiful quality of Taurean energy is to really savor the richness of the moment. Something about both Taurus and Aries knows: this present moment is unique and fleeting...Best to enjoy as much as possible, and if that's not an option, to have courage to be PRESENT for the discomfort, too. Without distracting yourself or lashing out, or whatever your favourite self-sabotaging ice cream flavor is.

How can you relish more the experience (good, sometimes challenging, all of it) of creating and building 5-star client (as Jeanna Gabellini famously calls your perfect-for-YOU clients) experience- in your branding, your offers, your marketing, messaging…. everything that will bring beauty, true value, insight, and more creative/spiritual fulfillment to your clients…rather than say, fixate on either overly lofty ambitions or focusing too rigidly on hitting a revenue goal or reaching that number of subscribers (and ofc Taurus ADORES all those numbers/$$$ and metrics so this definitely is NOT about ignoring any that by any means. It's important...and it can get in the way at a certain point.)

Not easy...cashflow is, at least in practical terms, the lifeblood of business and it's super easy to see what's not working... i have to remind myself regularly that this stuff all weaves together and that the real soul-source is the desire to create and share something of value...and that cannot NOT serve your clients...(EVEN if you don’t immediately make a sale)….

…unless of course... they aren't your 5-star soul clients in which case, hey what the fuck are we even doing (just said this to me-self today after some bs time-wasteage....

but...the "see see, see i'm a good decent, helpful, HARD-WORKING nice person" shit isn't gonna cut it with mars in bad-ass Aries 😴)

And I definitely 'know' better. Which just goes to show you, conditioning is POWERFUL, especially for us women... it takes vigilance (and heaps of true self-compassion) to root it out, particularly when some are fine to have you play that role ...forever.

Even if it's necessary, pragmatically speaking, at particular times and in very tiny doses, with this transit, especially you'll reach your limit pretty quick.

Authentic, conscious heart-centred leadership requires less people-pleasing and more soul-alignment.

 Come what May the 4th be with you :).

peace and blessings,

Sym
