close to each other in the Aquarius energy but not the exact hit we are experiencing today.

Astrology, like life, is never simply composed of ONE - anything. We are multi-dimensional beings, as is the planet we live on and the Universe to which we belong. So I should say that the 'highlight' of this article is Mars Conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius (happening Tues/February 17th) but as I am gathering my thoughts on this one thing, 10 other aspects of *now* jump in to my awareness as if to say to me, "Don't forget about me! Remind them about me too!"

Sun got together with Neptune in Aquarius on February 12th, dissolving any rough edges to your core being and then March 12th, Sun will align with Uranus in Pisces to help you remember how connected you are to the planet and every living thing. Venus and Mars are interacting, giving us opportunities to put our newly balanced masculine/feminine natures in to practice in real-time and with Jupiter right next to Mars, this EXPANDS the whole concept, along with Juno in this same mix, you are getting an extra boost of commitment to maintaining this balance. Your core being (Sun) is getting a similar opportunity to demonstrate any strides you've made in the purification/transformation department of your life (Pluto). As these energies contribute to the alchemical mix of the week, truly, anything is possible! And the highest possibility could be using the Mars/Jupiter combo to get out of your comfort zone and courageously initiate (Mars) a new aspect of your own personal story (Jupiter), something that will allow you to participate with a group of like-minded souls (Aquarius), pursuing a larger Truth which benefits the many.

So, back to my original point, Mars, the planet of energy, passion, action, our desire nature and warrior spirit ~ is ~ connecting with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, consciousness and Truth. They are connecting in Aquarius, which you would think would give these two the "detachment" that Aquarius so brilliantly teaches all of us and it WILL for those blessed souls well-anchored on their path and who consciously direct these energies. This is a beautiful opportunity to experiment (Aquarius) with a broader perspective of what you truly believe and what you can actually 'do' to live in harmony with your deepest faith and philosophy of life. These two getting together will prompt you to take action (Mars) on your personal Truth & Story (Jupiter). Or perhaps give you the courage (Mars) to at least FACE your personal Truth and Story (Jupiter) ... how are you both (you and your 'story') developing at this time? Tuning in to this energy is also activating Juno, connecting you to the healing and renewed commitment necessary to live your new Truth & Purpose in a way that genuinely serves the community (Aquarius) and in a way you which may not have been able to ... until now.

Aligning with these energies will go a long way toward laying the ground-work for Mars' Retrograde thru Leo at the end of the year (Dec 2009 - Mars retrogrades approximately every 2 years). Mars' Retrograde will give you a chance to review how you spend your energy, how you make your special contribution (Leo) and how well you've worked out any deep-seated ego issues that need to be released in order for you to grow and allow your environment to expand. Mars and Jupiter getting together is a mixed blessing, if you are already worn out and emotionally overwrought, it could make things worse. Aquarius is also "fixed" and therefore can be resistant and quite self-righteous, Mars and Jupiter add fuel to this fire. Add anger (Mars) and truth (Jupiter); impulsiveness (Mars) and exaggeration (Jupiter); as well as, extremes - all action (Mars) with no conscious thought (Jupiter) ... or ... all talk and 'big' talk at that (Jupiter) with no action (Mars). This energy's shadow expression involves wanting something "done" about whatever "truth" you are perceiving as "wrong". My advice is to breathe deeply, recognize all of that is judgment, whether directed at self or others. You would do better to live and let live and think twice before setting in motion any series of events which may ultimately make the one thing you *DON'T* want bigger, to grow out of control, only making matters worse.

On that note, if you have been diligent in your soul-work, clearing emotional and karmic debris, and managing your ego-drives, then these two will give you a golden opportunity - and a huge dose of energy - to get some major pieces in place. This is a chance to extend beyond the comfort zone of your usual mental and physical limitations, if done with care and conscientiousness. You can choose to consciously (Jupiter) and actively (Mars) participate in expanding your awareness of your place within and contribution to the community (Aquarius). And while it may take Mars two years to make its way back to Aquarius, it will be 24+ years before it gets together with Jupiter in Aquarius so this is a magical time to embrace, which will ultimately help you to integrate your humanity and consciousness and put that healthy ego to work, assisting Spirit and your Higher Self with the work of *BEING* ... that vital piece of the whole you were born to be.
