“One of the greatest things we can do in the midst of our pain is share with others. It may be difficult, but it’s ever more fulfilling and generates so much Light….Simply put, the energy of this week is one which can assist us in proactively extending ourselves to others.”– Karen Berg
This week’s unique energy and cosmic setting presents us with a tremendous opportunity to practice real restriction. There are so many stop-and-go signs all throughout the week that the secret to our success is in learning how to pace ourselves. Press the breaks when needed, and push harder and share when the opposite energy presents itself.
On Monday, we start off the week with Mercury in Libra turning direct again. This will awaken the energy to flow unhindered, helping us to feel renewed, dynamic, and vigorous. Together, Mars in Libra with Jupiter in Aquarius forms a positive and flowing aspect that feels like we can do whatever we want! We are powerful, and nothing can stop us! Pay attention—even though this energy is positive in its source, anything that comes without moderation or restriction can be destructive. We will want to learn to slow down and restrict so we won’t end up hitting a wall (especially on Wednesday).
There is a sharp shift of energy toward the end of the week, which means few harsher aspects (full moon in Aries with Pluto, the sun, and Mars, and on Thursday, the moon conjunct Uranus). This energy of conflict can lead us to resent opposition and be extremely sensitive to our own pain and old wounds. This is why Karen Berg’s advice is so powerful for us as we absorb the lessons and connect in the second part of the week. Extend yourself to others, think about how you can share, and consider others, especially when it feels that the focus should ultimately and solely be on your own individual pain.
