Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in Aries and quincunx Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Mars in Ta**us semi-sextile Saturn in Aries – A mist descends and we’re tempted to linger in a listless fog. The mind wanders over the past, dreams up things that never happened, falls into rabbit holes made of wishes and stardust. And every now and then, a shadow skitters across the wall, a reminder of more pressing problems, a clue to the source of our escapism. A need to take control vies with a call to let go and let god – and in truth, neither option feels right.
Sometimes we must allow for the mind to roam where it must, for it to test out scenarios, dream, remember. Somewhere along the line we’ll find ourselves pushed past the block, fantasy unceremoniously unveiled to reveal an ordinary yet more loveable face. Mars and Saturn, whilst a little testy, are not unkind. They know that you can achieve so much. Complete the tiniest of tasks. Plan the goal. Ask for practical advice. No dream can ever replace the satisfaction of a job well done in the real world. Just start.
