Minor mayhem

The thing about right now is that the two most disruptive planets we have aren't moving much for the next two-ish months: Mars and Uranus. Fortunately, they are not in bad aspect to each other, or I'd be getting a LOT of outreach for readings from people who would be very mad and at the end of rapidly fraying ropes. For most of you reading this, you're possibly affected by one, and maybe neither, but probably not both. There are exceptions to that, of course, because sometimes the sky is straight-up conspiratorial.

If you're impacted by Mars, you're probably really frustrated about something you want to do but shouldn't (because Mars is retrograde) or want to do but can't (same reason). You can expect things to shift in mid-March, and perceived road blocks should begin to clear OR you get a new direction entirely that you can go in.

If you're impacted by Uranus, the first clue is usually restlessness and the second is that you're not sleeping well. Uranus is not called "the great awakener" for no reason. It's literal and a metaphor--we astrologers have fun when planets are properly named, because you can just gesture to it and go "...see?" The #1 thing to remember about Uranus, because everyone either doesn't know or forgets, is that Uranus is a mental planet. If you don't get to the bottom of your restlessness, that's when accidents start happening, and no, that's not a mafia threat. Uranus transits are the #1 portender of car accidents, but I think almost everyone I've seen this happen to was mentally agitated beforehand and were trying to stuff it down and ignore it somehow. You also meet people who "wake you up" to some realities and you have incidents that do the same IF you can't take a hint. I should add that with the harsh transits, the wake-ups are almost always rude.

So what does one do at times like these? Pay attention and try not to jump out of your skin, mainly. Planets with no motion mean that you shouldn't take action but you will really want to, so this is where it gets tricky. You think about what you want to do, understanding it might change, and you start things rolling in mid-March.

Jupiter is also not moving, but it's unlikely to stress you out nearly as much as the other two. Last time Jupiter wasn't moving for an extended period of time, I just got annoyed with someone whose personality I didn't jive with...every day....until Jupiter started appreciable motion. It was an opposition between Jupiter and Saturn, so one of us had a sense of humor and the other one of us did not. That's annoying but it's certainly not going to kill anyone to grind your teeth and tolerate a person.

Finally, Venus is rapidly losing speed relative to us, which is the #1 harbinger of relationship discord in a global sense, but Venus still has some speed right now, so if you need to make major financial moves or relationship changes, do it now or wait til May. You certainly don't have to take this advice, but if you don't, please let me know in May how ridiculous things got.
