The New Moon on the 16th brings welcome relief and helps all of us breathe easier and with more confidence, particularly as Mercury communication and Saturn form a tight aspect suggesting stable thinking and ease of planning on the same day.
Saturn Mercury aspects are fabulous for mental focus. They are wonderful for studying for tests, working on a license or accreditation, and for creating something in an efficient and clear manner. It is a rare once a year aspect where one’s ability and opportunity are in high compliment to each other and it serves us to work with the energies rather than avoid them, particularly if you keep running away from the inevitable of advancing your position in the world by learning something new.
This often comes about because of fear. Either someone is afraid they don’t have time (Saturn), or, the ability. Sometimes ego steps in and says you don’t need it, which is really another way of expressing fear. Sometimes the voice of judgment comes in and tells you that you cannot do something, when really that is an opinion, not a reality.
Fortunately, the Sun enters lucky and more optimistic Sagittarius on the 21st just past the day where Venus and Mars challenge each other — suggesting that the ‘fear’ may not be coming from you but those closely associated with you. They think once you ‘learn’ that something new that you won’t want them anymore. This means you need to start a dialogue with them so that everyone’s needs are met, particularly around the 19th.
