EP 130: Small steps take you far

The theme of the week is small steps in a particular direction will take you far.

This week began a new 2-year cycle thanks to Mars and Saturn. These two planets camped out together in Aquarius are helping you take action to build something new, or perhaps, inspiring you to react and break away from something that has been holding you back. Either way, what happens now sets the tone for the next two years. Choose where you put your energy wisely. When these two planets join they favor concentrated efforts and small steps in a particular direction.

Your dreams and fantasies may find more space to grow this week as Venus enters Pisces, the sign where she is exalted. Your desires will become clear now. Venus has been stuck in the domain of Saturn’s rule since November! What a downer for this goddess of inspiration, romance, and beauty. Now she gets to shake off all the hard work she has helped you do and be the muse again for most creative self-expression.

The latter half of the week is all about Mercury. He’s still in Aries, for now, and keeping you busy! He’ll have helpful chats with Mars and Saturn on Thursday and Friday about what needs improvement and what next action steps are to be taken.

Then on Sunday Mercury rounds out his short stint in Aries by joining up with Pluto. This transit can bring on obsessive-compulsive thinking or superhuman focus. Remember - you choose how you activate the planetary energy.

It’s the perfect day to attend an astrology workshop and tune your mind’s focus to something positive.

Shortly thereafter Mercury, who influences your thinking and logic, moves into steady and reliable Taurus. The frantic pace will start to chill out and you can ease into more sustainable energy now that you’ve gotten things going in the right direction.

Resist the urge to feel overwhelmed by the busyness of this week. When you feel the burden of what’s ahead, just remember that small steps in a particular direction are what will take your far.

The planets are helping you take the next steps forward on your heroine’s journey that you embarked upon last week with the New Moon in Aries.
