The planet Mars joins the South Node in the sign of Virgo until August 6. Mars is a planet I associate with the outward expression of energy. Virgo is a physical and material security oriented Earth element sign oriented toward observation, analysis and problem solving. The South Node represents our ongoing relationship with the past and what we carry from it. This is an excavation and renovation oriented Mars transit. A square formed with Uranus at the onset of the transit can bring significant issues from the past into the immediate in surprising ways over the next few days. Ultimately this is a time to clear the way for the future by reconciling the past in some way and purging its residue from your being. Also, when faced with challenges in the immediate be careful to not fall into patterns of behavior or habits that did not serve you in the past. Mars in Virgo gives us the opportunity to get it right in the present and lay a strong foundation for what we would like to build in life. Get yourself in order, get your house in order, get your life in order, prepare for the attracting and manifesting time ahead in 2026 when the outer planets have finished changing signs. In the present, free yourself of old love energies so you can attract and receive the bounty of the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer in late June and in July.
