Lightening Strikes the Lovers’ Angel
Mars is moving into Gemini and will be there until June 24th.
Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Tower’s struck the Lovers’ Angel. The heavens are shaking. Are the Lovers about to go for a tumble?
Mars in Gemini, or the Tower striking the Lovers’ Angel, can be a time of disruption in relationships, and mental attitudes. Commitments you thought were sturdy, might suddenly not seem so solid.
But paradise lost could actually mean freedom from choices that no longer satisfy.
New information and circumstances can ultimately lead to expansion of the mind and a deepening of commitment. A new solidity can be established, but the foundation is likely to shift.
Look at this period as a challenge to be as open-minded as you can. Ideas will likely be flying fast and furious. Options you hadn’t considered might soon seem quite reasonable.
Go with the flow. Liberation and illumination are possible. Not despite the chaos, but because of it.

Tower as Emperor’s Throne
Mars moves into Aries tonight and stays there until March 30th.
Looking at this transit from a tarot perspective, it’s like the Emperor was sitting in his castle just as the lightening struck. His stone throne is exploding.
Mars in Aries, or the Tower as the Emperor’s throne, is likely to be an exciting time. What you thought would never change suddenly does.
It could just be a way of seeing things. Old ideas are shattered and inspiration to begin afresh becomes overwhelming.
Or things might really be changing. New circumstances present themselves without warning and the way you were approaching a situation no longer works.
Destroy inertia and create a new world for yourself. This is a time of great power.
Potentially challenging, yes. But also a chance to take charge in your life like you never thought possible.

Mars moves into Pisces today and will stay there until February 19th.
In the language of the Tarot, this transit could be described as the Tower’s lightening striking the dark landscape of the Moon. Its night sky has become unexpectedly bright.
Mars in Pisces, or the Tower’s lightening striking the Moon, is a great time to stir up the muck and start recharging.
Though you might rather avoid new ideas, situations, or even people, doing so could cost you the opportunity to see something more clearly than you had before.
Pay attention to flashes of sudden psychic insight you might experience, and don’t shy away from looking your emotional fears straight in the face.
Though new perspectives might throw you for a bit of a loop, you’re going to be fine. Follow your instincts and you’ll stay on path.

Mars moves into Aquarius today and will stay there until January 12th.
Through the eyes of the Tarot, this transit is like the Tower striking around the Star. A shot of fiery energy has made its way into the night garden of the goddess.
Mars in Aquarius, or the Tower’s lightening striking around the Star, might be described as a time of energized benevolence.
It’s easier now to see how much we have in common with our neighbours, and how extending kindness beyond our usual circle of loved ones is good for everyone.
Let situations that might normally surprise, or even upset you act as opportunities to open up to more compassion, not shut it down.
It’s a fabulous time right now to amp up our empathy, and to set universal love on fire.

Mars moves into Capricorn today and will stay there until December 4th.
Looking at this transit from a Tarot point of view, it’s like the Tower’s lightening is striking the Devil’s lair.
Mars in Capricorn, or the Tower’s lightening striking the Devil’s lair, can be a time of powerful recharge.
If you’ve been stuck in an oppressive mindset, or in a situation where you’ve felt a lack of control, this is an excellent time to positively mix things up.
There’s a chance now to let go of rigid thinking and to break free of rules, self-imposed or otherwise, that serve only to dominate rather than to guide.
Be open to sudden illumination, and willing to take charge of your own material domain. You might not control everything, but you do control yourself. Don’t give your power away.

Mars moves into Sagittarius today and will stay there until October 26th.
From a Tarot perspective, it would be like the Tower’s lightening strikes behind the Temperance Angel. His usually tranquil environment is shaking up around him.
Mars in Sagittarius, or the Tower’s lightening striking behind the Temperance Angel, is a time of energized flexibility.
Though you might be surprised by some of the events swirling around you, you can find strength in the opportunity to let go of old ideas, situations, or relationships that might be hemming you in.
Take control, but be flexible. Attaching yourself too strongly to one particular concept or way of doing things isn’t necessary or even desirable right now.
Keeping yourself balanced as you take action towards change is more important. And for the time being at least, probably a lot easier and more productive.

Mars in Scorpio, or the Tower’s lightening striking Death, can be a period of significant internal transformation. And change that was taking place slowly might start picking up speed.
Be as open to the changes around you as you can, and courageous enough to face what you see.
If an unexpected insight prompts you to reconsider aspects of your life – dive in and explore the situation fully.
Have faith that endings will be followed by renewal, and dormancy replaced with something fresh and very much alive.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Tower’s crashing around the Hermit and the night skies are on fire.

Don’t be afraid to look beyond your comfort zone, and don’t give up the details just because things around you seem chaotic.
It’s time to energetically reorganize and create a new plan of action that will be even better than before.
Stick with what you need to do and keep going. Things will calm down soon enough, and you’ll know so much more by the time it’s done.
