Barometer of the Heart

Our actions regarding the heart, creative pursuits and our vested selves are couched now with the need to consider what value these actions bring us, and what value they bring to others.

Mars is in Leo (the creative heart-self) squaring Jupiter retrograde in Taurus (Venus--possessions, how we make money, pleasure in relationships...).  Jupiter wants to expand these things and Mars want to take action in love, art, and self.  The square of these two planets forces the issues at hand (conflict) asking us to stop and consider others (Venus) more deeply than usual.

I see Occupy Wall Street clearly reflected in this aspect.  Taurus is an earth sign that appreciates being valued and Leo moves our hearts--warriors following their hearts, asking us personal and as a collective to reconsider what we truly value.  At the same time, Saturn is in Libra (also ruled by Venus) forging new pathways (Saturn relates to structures, foundations) in our relationships.

The transiting North North is in Sagittarius and Jupiter is it's ruling planet.  Jupiter in Taurus would typically be a "me" kind of signature, but the the North Node in Sag, Jupiter's focus carries a bigger perspective than Taurus' need to stabilize the self--it now looks to the Earth and her inhabitants to embrace natural law and love of the planet that gives us so much, and

On the chart of the US, our North Node is in Leo and we have done Leo overboard--self, self, self.  Now we are asked to step up into the true light of Leo and express our generosity, our ever radiant selves, illuminating the golden light of the Queen-King within.  We are all radiant expressions of God-Goddess.

Enjoy the fire of Leo!
