The Sky Today, September 2, 2021



At 10:43 a.m.: Mars is opposite Neptune

In the late morning, Mars opposes Neptune in Pisces, generating apprehensiveness. Virgo Mars has us fighting to maintain control over our life’s details, and we fear becoming overwhelmed by strong energetic currents if we fail to stick to our established practices. Yet today, we are at the mercy of circumstance, and even if we exhaust ourselves fighting to overcome a situation, we are unable to make progress. This transit encourages us to trust the process and allow events to unfold organically. If nothing is working, stop! There is something to be learned in the stillness, and we would deny ourselves critical awareness by steamrolling ahead.

At 3:24 p.m.: The moon is square Venus

Mid-afternoon, the Cancer moon squares Venus in Libra, a transit of emotional upsets. But who is hurting our feelings at this time? Probably us! We have built up some ideal in our mind which is failing to materialize in real time, and we take offense at the notion that we have struggled to make this moment pleasant and perfect for so little payoff. No one seems to notice how hard we are trying to keep everything in balance! Yet compromising to our detriment is not the fault of our family or friends. We have created our own distress through our unwarranted expectations. Be mindful of when another person has actually asked us for something, or when we have given of ourselves in the hope of reciprocation.
