Mars and Jupiter Square: Growth requires Action

    With conflict and pain ruled Mars in Venus loving Libra square to abundance and growth oriented Jupiter in Cancer, today requires action and could be prompted from an uncomfortable situation where we feel very passionately although we may act as if we feel neutral. When relating with others it's best to act more intentionally and from our true values. If not already aligned with our values, today is a good day to check in with our personal philosophy and beliefs to see how our actions line up with those beliefs. If we really intend to create harmony and see situations from a diplomatic and unbiased place, we must constantly practice taking this perspective.

    Often times it's easy to be a martyr or blame others for disharmony or discontent but ultimately we must check in with ourselves first. How am I perpetuating conflict or contributing to it in ways that aren't aligned with my true beliefs?

    With the moon in Aquarius, we may feel the impulse to avoid situations that stir deeper feelings or make us question our strongly held beliefs but it's worth asking ourselves what we are avoiding. How could this uncomfortable situation be coming up for our greater good and to create more harmony from whatever conflict is necessary. The moon will move directly opposite Venus tomorrow morning and with that we are putting together the pieces of our inner world to see how everything is connected. How we learn from expressing ourselves and being bold, following our heart and taking action aligned from that heart space, gives us an endless amount of opportunities to better understand ourselves and the people around us, even if they seem drastically different.

    Ultimately everything is working out for our benefit but we have to be able to see it that way and know it takes work to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We must walk down the dark, narrow path quite a ways before we see where that light is coming from.

    Often my emotions feel like that light and it's easier to keep wandering in the dark being distracted by the fireflies and shooting stars than to continue on after a light that seems so far. It's almost as if things become darker the more we focus on the light too. Our eyes struggling to acclimate. But, continue on we must.

    I only have so much time in a day and it's easy to sit and blame everyone else or shame myself for not making the most of it but ultimately I need to just take action productively however possible, even if just in a small way. How can I act in a way that is both more loving and more aligned with my greater good?

Does my highest version of myself inspire me to be greater or stop me from making forward progress? How can I love on my current self a bit more and stop comparing to everyone else in the world. I am meant to be different and it's through understanding and loving myself that I can best share myself with the world and contribute in the ways I am meant to.
