These days one can clearly see the red planet, Mars, appearing in the evening sky in mid-heaven, shining bright in the constellation of Aries,until it sets in the west at about midnight.

What you cannot see with your eyes, is that just behind Mars, two light-hours away from it, resides Uranus, a planet one can only see with a telescope.

This perfect alignment between Uranus, the planet of originality, and Mars, the planet of action, creates a special energy that washes over us these days. An energy that has two faces to it – one to hold onto, and the other to be aware of.

Mars and Uranus are two very masculine, very powerful, celestial bodies. The alignment between the two is harsh and strong.

The good side of this celestial combination is that it makes for a very creative time, in which we can do many original things, and has the power to bring our original work and ideas out into the world. But the lower side of this combination is that it can make us harsh and hasty.

If there is an original idea or project you have started – this is the time to give it  more energy and get all creative and active with it. Perhaps it is even the time to bring your original project out into the world.

But on the careful side of this astrological timing – make sure you are not rushing  into making harsh moves, as one careless act can create lots of chaos and destruction these days. This is the time to apply thoughtfulness and care, which are good antidotes to the downside of this astrological timing.
