Get loose

We have another Taurus - Scorpio opposition in play this week. Two weeks ago it was Mars and Jupiter, and this week it is Mars and the sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus. First and foremost: fire warning. I've said this like 10 times before: do not take risks with flammable things right now, and if there's a chance something could explode, get far away from it. Literally, metaphorically: don't care.

Since the sun is involved, it might dawn on you that you're in a situation that you don't want to be in. Since Mars is involved, you might take immediate action to wriggle yourself out of it (or start yelling at whoever put you in it). Or you could experience a hard stop and dig in while someone else is trying to make you do something you don't want to do. You could also have a lightbulb moment out of nowhere that gives you new insight into a situation that you feel stuck in. Uranus is a lot of things, but it's first and foremost about getting intellectually free and leaving old ideas and ways of being behind. Sometimes explosively if tension has been at an all-time high. If you're the type of person to get in or cause accidents when you start feeling upset, take it easy and move slowly this week, because accidents are simply more normal and likely at the moment.

Uranus in Taurus is a lot of things, and I know I touched on it recently, but I want to expand on my idea of the hard stop: if you're in a situation in which nothing is going your way and people start antagonizing you more (possible this week with Mars and the sun in play), sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at all. Just freeze and dig in and don't do anything until something comes up that you feel would be favorable to you. Conversely, if you're in the population that's trying to move something immovable, take that energy somewhere else. You'll see both sides of it this week if you're looking.

Mental freedom is everything, and realizing that you're in something that you don't want to be in is the first step to get out of it. Just try not to do something super-spastic.

Also, for those of you who like it when things are *nice,* Venus arrives in Libra on Wednesday, accompanied by the moon on that day. Do something sweet.
