TUESDAY MAY 27The Day of Mars marks the last day of Earthweek. Mars isn't comfortable in Libra, according to astrological tradition. Libra is the sign of Mars' detriment, opposite its natural home in Aries. This means that Mars is considered weak in Libra, because it can not operate in its most natural way. However, modern astrologers recognize that a planet in unfamiliar territory presents unique opportunities, not just challenges. When disparate elements such as spontaneity and strategy, individuality and co-operation or action and reflection meet, the mix is combustible, but very powerful. Those able to harness these seeming contradictions can gain the strengths of both sides, rather than being confused or torn between them. We all have a greater possibility to build bridges now as martian initiative meets Libran conciliation. It takes courage to make peace, and this combination favors those who move in that direction. The shadow side of Mars in Libra, however, is the smile-wearing (Libra) attacker (Mars) who masks his aggression with a pretense of kindness. We are likely to find ourselves carefully measuring others to balance the seemingly opposite forces of self-interest and co-operation during this period. At 2:10 am the waning Taurus Moon goes void of course (5:10 am ET) after contacting Saturn and Jupiter, to fill our dreams with insight into our long-term projects. The Moon is void all day, until its entry into Gemini at 9:48 pm, but we can still bring home the bacon with the void period in Taurus. Sensual Venus joins the karmic South Node of the Moon, creating a false sense of security about the romantic notion of going with the flow. However, it’s smarter to give a project an additional nudge forward than to coast through the day.
