Here we go again… a triple play of Sun, Mer­cury and Plu­to stirs the depths of our imag­i­na­tion while it reminds us that we must be doers as well as dream­ers. And, most impor­tant­ly, we must con­tin­ue to learn how to exer­cise our free will while respect­ing the bound­aries between one another.

Sun Con­junct Mer­cury. The Solar Wind meets Her­mes fleet feet and boy are we think­ing! This is the “supe­ri­or” con­junc­tion of Mer­cury with the Sun. This is real­ly like a “full moon” because Mer­cury is on the far side of the Sun from our per­spec­tive. So, rather than a new begin­ning this align­ment is actu­al­ly a rev­e­la­tion, the cul­mi­na­tion of what was released back on Decem­ber 19th at the infe­ri­or conjunction.

You began with some hint, or idea or inspi­ra­tion back then; now is the time to see what you have brought forth in all its majesty. With the Sun and Mer­cury in Pisces, that puts the Earth (and you) in Vir­go. The rev­e­la­tion is about under­stand­ing how to bal­ance and inte­grate the pow­er of your dreams and imag­i­na­tion (Pisces) with your prac­ti­cal knowl­edge and skills (Vir­go). The mes­sage is that you must always keep togeth­er and bal­ance your pow­er to dream with your pow­er to do. Expect some strong con­ver­sa­tions today between you and anoth­er over an impor­tant dream or vision (Pisces) ver­sus some plan or pro­ce­dure (Vir­go).

Mer­cury in Sex­tile to Plu­to brings a depth to the mind in this triple play. Plu­to pro­vides the pow­er to pierce beyond the usu­al lev­els so as to allow you to per­ceive the under­ly­ing assump­tions of the sit­u­a­tion at hand; you go beyond appar­ent thought forms, peel­ing back the lay­ers of under­ly­ing assump­tions, and so see the issue with greater clar­i­ty. Do not let Plu­to’s “con­trol issues” get in the way. Remem­ber, real com­mu­ni­ca­tion is not a zero-sum game with win­ners and losers; coop­er­a­tion cre­ates insights as we help one anoth­er to remove our “blind spots”.

Sun in Sex­tile to Plu­to com­pletes our triple play. With the self (Sun) guid­ed by Divine Will (Plu­to), you are able to make deep impres­sions on the world and those around you.

At the end of Decem­ber, the Sun/Pluto con­junc­tion brought about an align­ment of the self with the Self. You came to a deep­er under­stand­ing of the nature of your free will. Now you have a con­struc­tive oppor­tu­ni­ty to exer­cise that free will. You can improve your­self and the lives of those around you by main­tain­ing a bal­ance of will between one another.

The les­son, as you express your will, is to main­tain self con­trol and so respect the sacred space that each life exists in. Some­times we give way too eas­i­ly and oth­ers tres­pass upon us; and some­times we for­get to respect the space of oth­ers and so tres­pass on them. Now move into the space of bal­ance between self-asser­tion and selflessness.

 Always remem­ber, the spir­i­tu­al law of your will is: “Let Thy Will Be Done”!
