3 Key Insights for Mars’s Conjunction to Jupiter in Aries

Transcript:

Hey everyone, this is Acyuta-bhava from Nightlight Astrology, and today we are going to take a look at Mars's upcoming conjunction to Jupiter in the sign of Aries. And we've already taken this conjunction through the 12 signs and looked at your horoscopes. We did that yesterday. If you missed it, be sure to check it out.

So today, what we're going to do is start taking that astrological jewel that is the Jupiter Mars combination in the sign of Aries and start turning it in order to gain insights, in order to reflect on the archetypal combination, so that we can prepare to meet it, see it learn from it in our lives. So on that note, I have three insights for the Jupiter Mars conjunction that we're going to be looking at today. This is not the only thing we will say about this combination. We will also probably be doing a top 10 or something like that, just to really fill it out and give a broader understanding of the day. We're going to have some like some focused insights, sort of a deeper meditation, and bringing the I-Ching, we have three kinds of key insights that have been used to summarize this upcoming conjunction that we'll look at.

All right, let us now turn our attention to the real-time clock and brush up on this Mars into Aries dynamic, which is happening from May 24th to July 5th. And in particular, we are today going to be looking at the fact that Mars will conjoin Jupiter in Aries on May 29th, and you're already going to be feeling the effects of that right now as of May 24th when Jupiter enters Aries, which we talked about yesterday, but also all the way until June 3rd, Jupiter will not only conjoin with Mars will not only conjoined with Jupiter on May 29th but then the separating and hence, you'll be feeling it all the way through about June 3rd. That's the three-degree range of separation within which you typically will still be feeling the energy. Alright, now let's look at the real-time clock and see what we can see. So the first thing to notice is the exact conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in Aries on May 29th. This is early morning, Eastern Time on May 29th; you could be feeling it more intensely on the 28th, then 29th, and the 30th. In particular, probably the strongest days, but then separating until June 3rd and all the way up until May 29th, you'll be feeling the application as well. So that's sort of the overall range, you could say May 24th to June 3rd, broadly speaking.

So this is what we're going to talk about today. This conjunction is one of the more dynamic conjunctions of the entire year. It certainly made my list of biggest, you know, I, you know, I think we you guys know if you watch my channel regularly that we talked quite a bit about Jupiter's conjunction with Neptune as one of the bigger transits of the year that was a highlight in the month of April, the month of May, of course, has featured the ongoing effects of eclipse season, as well as Jupiter's entrance into Aries. And now Mars's entrance in Aries in conjunction with Jupiter, which is another one of the biggest, certainly one of the biggest conjunctions of the year, if not one of the biggest transits overall of 2022.

Now, that does not mean that you will be feeling every single effect of this transit on the day of or even within that range that I presented, which, again, broadly speaking, is like the conjunctions May 29th separates until June 3rd; it does not like well, everything will happen at that point. Remember, it's in a cardinal sign; when planets can join in a sign like Aries, it's a little bit like a new moon in the sense of a starting point. So a Mars Jupiter conjunction is the seeding of something that will become more pronounced and whose effects will ripple outward from the space of the conjunction into the rest of the year. Remember, Jupiter in Aries will eventually retrograde and come back over the same conjunction degree prior to the end of October. I think it's probably early October that it does so. And so you're going to see this kind of a reprise of similar themes. So you could even say broadly speaking that this Jupiter Mars energy, coming together right now, will have a ripple effect that lasts pretty much through the end of October. Then again, in December, Jupiter comes back, and we'll go back over that conjunction mark once more because conjunction marks are a bit like a new moon. I feel like, you know, the bigger, slower, more dynamic conjunctions when a planet comes back over that same degree a few times through backward and forward motion through its retrograde and so forth, you usually feel it. So when we look back later in the year, when we talk again in December about Jupiter ingressing back into the sign of Aries, it will be, in many ways, continuing the work that starts here in May as Jupiter enters Aries and makes its first big splash in the new sign.

Maybe no bigger moment in the entire transit of Jupiter through Aries. There are a few, but I would say one of the biggest is this conjunction with Mars. So the things that are happening right now and in, say, the next week ahead, they're going to be this is part of a story that we're going to be talking about for a good amount of the rest of this year. So with that in mind, I have three kinds of insights lessons, you know, takeaways that I think are appropriate for this transit. And then I've been reflecting on lately in my sort of daily meditations and prayer time, which I hope you'll find useful.

We're going to start with, and I have also incorporated into today's reading the I-Ching. So let's talk about the first concept. It's the idea that any kind of meaningful leadership and by leadership, let's not make it too, I don't know, extravagant and egotistical. We're not talking about, you know, your or my greatness, you know, sometimes you say leadership, you know, like, Yes, I'm a leader, you know, I lead people because I'm great, you know, what I mean? We're not talking about that kind of leadership. Let's, let's define leadership very basically, I make a choice. And in doing so, I stand apart. I stand apart from others at work. I might stand apart a little bit from my spouse. From someone, I care about, or my kids or my family, I might stand out among my friends, I might stand out societally, something I do, I step apart from the group, or the collective or the pack. I step apart. Now, why I step apart, there are a million different reasons, some of them probably really positive, some of them very negative. I can say that at times in my life, I have stepped apart and had people follow me or my example in ways that I wish they wouldn't have, in ways that I wished I wouldn't have stood apart and done something, you know, that other people follow? That probably was regrettable. I've followed people in my life at times where I wish I wouldn't have because they stood out or stood apart or chose something. And I chose to follow, and it probably wasn't the best. There's many instances in which the opposite has been true. And I've done or said something standing apart, and maybe others have followed me, and I thought, wow, that was pretty special. That was good; it made an impact. It's something that helped someone. There have been many leaders that I've had in my life in many different walks of life who have, in their choice to stand apart, somehow have taught me something; they've led, even just giving me an example to live by or something like that. So we all know what this is like. We follow people, we follow people because of how they define themselves, how they stand out somehow as an example, or a choice they're making or value they're asserting or risk they're taking, or something like that. Sometimes it's good; sometimes it's not so good. But all leadership begins with the capacity to follow or entails following; they're like a dyad archetypal II, so to lead and to follow, they go hand in hand.

When I think deeply about Jupiter and Mars in Aries, I think very much about the choice to stand apart. And the choice to have who or what to follow. Let me give you a breakdown of why Jupiter, broadly speaking, represents things like teachers, gurus, systems of philosophy, knowledge, or Wisdom Teachings and teachers, gurus, and sage's doctrines and dogmas. It represents anything that gives us a coherent sense of moral direction or purpose. Jupiter could be a university degree track that you follow a certain curriculum you have to take in order to get your major, Jupiter could be the rules or teachings of spiritual or religious tradition; whatever the case might be, Jupiter is, in some ways going to embody a cohesive set of teachings or rules or skills or ideas or something like that, that offer coherence and that usually give us a sense of authority or purpose, or power, or pride or something like that.

Um, Mars, on the other hand, is about action. Mars is about will, and Mars has a lot to do with risk-taking as well as asserting ourselves. Mars is associated with the action of cutting. And so when you think about what it means to individuate, from the time that you're born, and the umbilical cord is cut, there is the idea of that to individualize to individuate, to find ourselves to be ourselves, there is a sense in which we need to learn how to, in a, hopefully, a healthy, vital way, stand apart from others. So this is Mars, in a sense, psychologically, you could associate Mars with war and conflict and, you know, strife and hostility and weapons, and you know, warfare and things like that. Also, assertiveness and also the need to stand apart, to you know, almost like to cut ourselves out of some fabric of which we are a part religiously, morally, socially, whatever, and to pull ourselves out of some shared context so that we stand-alone or, or apart.

Now, there are ways of standing alone are a part that are compulsive, that are sort of pathological you know, and there are those that are like healthy and probably very healthy and you know, I can't be the one who, there's no way that I could possibly define you know what that is it's, it's a path of discernment, is it not for all of us that we have to walk every day and figure out how do I stand alone or apart? How do I sever separate cut myself away from certain things in order to stand alone or stand in something that makes me me? So this is very Mars. And Aries.

Now when you put that individualizing quality of Mars and Aries into this conjunction, this alchemical union with Jupiter in Aries, we have questions about what do I believe? And how do I assert what I believe in contrast to what others believe? Or what is the path of the teacher, the calling or the set of instructions or the degree or the education or the religious or spiritual affiliation or the group that I belong to? And how do I align my individuality with the appropriate system or rules or thoughts or philosophy? Or like, what's the paradigm or something like that? And how do I set myself apart from one? There have been moments in every great religious tradition where there are schisms very Mars Jupiter, thing. A schism might be something like historically, say, like the Protestant Reformation where the need to break off and form a section, a subsection of the Christian fold to sort of break off and assert a new way of doing the religious life the path. So Mars Jupiter, you know, whether it's an opposition, a square conjunction tends to bring up the tension between belonging to something and standing apart from something moral, religious, spiritual, academic, etc., all Jupiter things.

Okay, so now this is now, remember; we're just covering this archetypal combination from a particular angle today; this is not all there is to it, right? We could talk about Jupiter Mars, for example, in relation to competitive sports or the entrepreneurial endeavors of someone starting a business or something like that. So there are lots of other angles. And today, we're going to focus on this idea of the individual standing with or apart from something represented by Jupiter, a teacher, or a set of teachings, doctrines, dogmas, etc.

Okay, so let's, on that note, get kind of given that archetypal combination; there is something about Mars and Jupiter that brings up that dyad of leading and following. So the first thing that comes to my mind right now is that if you are faced with a choice, and the choice is about, you know, taking a stand for something, something that you believe, something that you want to stand with, or something that you want to stand, apart from, something that you want to join, or something that you want to quit, something that you feel aligned with, or something that you feel the need to separate or dissociate yourself from all potential combinations of Mars Jupiter, probably joining with or separating from something Jupiterian. It could be an institution or a group or a set of colleagues or friends who have like-minded goals, or a kind of a cultural niche, or probably something religious, spiritual, or philosophical as well. But you might be right now feeling like, do I stand with something? Or do I stand apart from something? And the feeling that something is you're reaching like an alchemical boiling point of deciding, am I going to align myself with something or separate myself from something? I think the key to being very discerning with this moment and this potential combination that Mars Jupiter presents, I think it comes down to understanding that in order to stand apart and make a choice to define ourselves with or against something, we have to be very aware of who or what might follow us who or what we may influence in other words, and how not that we can predict the future perfectly, but we have to be aware of the fact that a choice to set ourselves apart, will have social ramifications, even those that we can't see. Some of them are so deeply mysterious, but the way we choose to define ourselves and individualize to align with or apart from something will necessarily influence and affect other people around us. We can't be 100% responsible for everyone. I'm not saying we should take on some kind of savior complex, but it is very important to understand that a choice to stand alone or apart from something or to align with something has social a social effect around us; it's never happening in a vacuum Mars Jupiter can get lost in the delusion that this is about me and my choice and my right and my alignment and my purpose and my will and my sovereignty and what is me and what isn't me and so forth. I think it really helps you know, either in how we make a choice or the actual choice we make, to consider how this will affect others around me. Because when I stand apart, it's never in a vacuum; there is a social ripple effect that it has. And even just trying to be conscious of that with care in the heart can shift how we make a choice that we have to make. Maybe doesn't change the choice that we make, but it changes how we make it; it helps us to make it in a gentler, kinder, more constructive way, less severe, less harsh or critical, or something like that.

On the other hand, sometimes being bold and courageous and strong, it's possible that this will also help other people too, you know, make similar decisions and judgments in their life. And while we are not necessarily, you know, responsible for other people and what they choose, or do, we also, sometimes it may be the case that like, look, standing up for something, or taking a stand or you know, strongly aligning with something or separating from something is not something I can run from or hide or do quietly, I need to make it clear plain, or I need to speak up, or I need to say something or make it clear and apparent what I'm doing because there's a larger social ripple effect. And it's important, to be honest, frank, and direct about what I'm doing. What do you see what I mean? So the first realization that I've been thinking a lot about, though, is that whenever you have to make a choice for, or against, to join with, or to part ways with, or something like that, what am I aligned with? And what am I not aligned with? If you sit down and think of the ecosystem that you're living in and make that choice within and just become conscious of it, then we're taking the full scope of the archetype into consideration because separating and joining, leading and following these things go hand in hand. Oftentimes, the strongest choices that we have to make about where to align ourselves or where to separate from also stem from how capable we are of following inner guidance.

And that is point number two. How can we make a strong choice to individualize to say, This is my cause? This is my purpose. These are my people, these are my beliefs, this is my practice, this is what I align with or not, or this is what I can't do. How could we possibly do that? Not only do we need to be aware of the ecology, the social, relational world that we live in, when making such a choice, our individuality only means as much as our as, as we are able to recognize the dignity and existence of all of those that were connected to, on some level. How can we make that choice? If we also don't know how to follow, if we don't know how to follow guidance and direction from within, if we don't know how to listen to us that still quiet voice of truth that tells us, you know, this is where you align, this is where you don't align. I think sometimes we try to solve problems by making choices, rather than making choices because we have sat with a problem and listened; there's a big difference. We know there's a problem. So we try to make a choice to solve it. But the choice is, has been concocted up here, rooted in a very impulsive and impatient understanding of the nature of the problem. Or, you know, the decision.

So following also begins with listening, with creating space, for a decision or a choice, or to align or to separate. We have to give space for that decision, for that consideration. We have to give silence and allow for silence and time to work in mysterious, beautiful, subtle ways that divine lives and moves in the spaces that we listen to that we create. If we create space, if we listen. And if we allow silence and time to flow around a big choice align with or separate from, then we do that often gives us the indication about what to do. There is so much more; it is a much higher likelihood that if by having to make a strong choice, we have a positive impact on those around us that we set a good example; if anyone is meant to follow that, they will and in a good way, or that we even we just set an example of how to say no to something. But if we're to have a positive impact on the world around us, then it is going to be because we make whatever choice we do from that space of having listened, created space, created quiet, really attended to the choice in the matter at hand and then followed the natural guidance the that springs up from within us.

Because the truth is that people follow leaders who have followed inner direction, right, but if we're going to have any kind of positive social impact, create social change, Mars Jupiter can be such an advocate can be such a follow me, this is what I'm doing and see my example. And you know, something like that I'm gonna go this way, you know, I'm walking down the trail that away and then Okay, let's go, let's follow, you know, but how much easier is it to follow someone when you feel that the choice that they've made has been made from a space of careful listening, space, silence, attending to that inner voice, it's because you can tell that someone has followed and listened and done that, that they become worth worthy of following in return. So it's amazing how closely standing apart and taking a stand and being a leader in even the smallest ways it doesn't, it doesn't have to be a big aggrandizing thing here just in whatever choices you have to make that are, it's a strong choice, it's a bold choice. It's a proclamation of sorts. In your relative world, it's a step apart somehow; perhaps if you're aware of the world around you, the social ramifications, if you've given time for space, silence, listening, you've attended to things, then people will follow if they're meant to because they will see that you have followed something in the way that you're standing apart. That, to me, is a very deep Mars Jupiter in Aries kind of teaching.

And finally, three, the collective and the individual are always moving toward and apart from one another like two waves or like lungs that are like breathing in and out. There's always a space in our life that we need to protect our individuality and the ways in which we are utterly, totally unique and can never be satisfied by any kind of collective participation. It's not my sports team; it's not my religious community; it's not my school I practice astrologically, or the work that I do, or even, you know, my social media, friends, or like, whatever. There's a way in which we have to protect our independence and our utter unique individuality at all costs. And it's like a, there going to be wave movements at a time in your life at times in your life, that amplify the need to stand apart and to individuate and to and to protect who you are as a person by saying no to the pressure to identify with a cause or a group or a righteous mission, or a doctrine or a dogma or a career or a label or whatever. And you're just going to feel this aversion to any kind of collective defining. And that's good; It's healthy; Mars Jupiter could amplify that right now. Especially, I want to cut ties with some Jupiterian thing or presence that it's not helping me. I could be a very natural part of this. But it's also important to remember that we don't exist in a vacuum. We're social beings. And there is a deeply collective communal, social aspect of who we are that we can't escape. You know, the planets don't stand alone; you can't understand Mars without understanding Venus. You can't understand Jupiter without Mercury and can't understand the moon and sun without Saturn; these are all the planetary contraries, right. So, we are participatory relational beings living in a relational Cosmos, a well-ordered collection of living beings, you know, strung together by intimate, mysterious laws of karma. And Grace is flowing through everything, helping us learn and grow, and it's phenomenal, but it is social by nature. You can't escape some social dimension of your existence in some way in which you need to also define yourself in relation to traditions, cultures, interests, communities, likes, and dislikes in, you know, in the thumbs up and thumbs down section of the world. You have to be able to say this is where I belong. These are people I relate to. And if, if, if that gets neglected because of the strong fortified sense of individuality, then we become sick. In the same way that if you get lost in a group by groupthink, you lose your sense of utter uniqueness. But the two are always moving in and out of one another. And I wonder if right now, there isn't some kind of wave pattern that's peeking and asking us, how are you different? How do you stand apart? And also, where do you belong? I feel like it can be a deeply existential moment. And even if we aren't, even if we aren't clear about where we stand, who we who are our people, so to speak, or what are my beliefs? What is the paradigm I'm operating with for now? How am I different? How am I apart? We may not be clear on those things right now. But the way I'm seeing this is that Mars Jupiter is like a seeding moment; it has the feeling of seeding a deeper intention to get clear about it. And so that's what I'm really watching for in myself; I'm seeing it in the lives of a lot of my clients, as I look and read for people with Jupiter coming through the conjunction with Mars, Mars coming through the conjunction with Jupiter right now, it's interesting that I-Ching has a famous hexagram number 23 that I got when I was asking about this transit in my prep time today. I-Ching, the hexagram number 23, is sometimes called splitting apart. And it basically shows all Yin lines with one yang line at the top, which is essentially like showing something solid being, you know, slowly eroded from the base up, almost like, you know, something that's being eaten up by termites or something or a structure that's about to fall apart.

To me, the interesting piece about this hexagram splitting apart is that it carries the tension of something potentially eroding. And having to split apart Mars Jupiter in Aries, a seating moment that could be defined by saying, this is a time where I split off, I think this transit probably leans a little bit more in the direction of splitting off in the name of individuality or further individualizing. Because I think Aries and Mars, in general, are a little bit more like that. Mars is strong in its own dignity right now. So could this be a moment of splitting apart a schism, a breaking open of a moment where there is some need? For example, I could see this being a moment where there is religious division, like an institution that breaks into two different sects. Whatever the case might be, I could see that hexagram number 23 splitting apart. Could this be that moment, that defining moment where we have to break away to start our own business after belonging to a firm or a company to you know, leave a religious organization after you know, we belong to it for a long time in order to have a different kind of experience? Or join a different group or something? Could you know, could there be something like that? I think that's one possibility. But what's interesting is that the fifth line is also changing. The fifth line reads this, a shoal of fishes, favor comes through the court, ladies, everything acts to further. So I want to read you the little commentary;

"Here, in immediate proximity to the strong light-giving principle at the top, that would be the yang line that's at the top of this hexagram compared to the Yin line that's in the fifth place right below it, the nature of the dark force. Now that's not evil; that would be just the dark force undergoing a change. It no longer opposes the strong principle by means of intrigue but submits to its guidance. Indeed, as the head of the other weak lines, it leads, it leads all to her husband and thus gains his favor.

Now, this is like an ancient sort of, you know, sort of traditional, you know, sort of Confucian ancient Chinese culture. So I'll try to translate that in a second.

"But in as much as the lower element, as voluntarily places itself under the higher it attains happiness, and the higher also receives its do; therefore, all goes well."

So you can almost imagine in this hexagram, like, I'll actually let me just see if I can actually draw it out. I'm going to put up the real-time clock again and just sort of draw this for you so you can see it because it's pretty cool. All right. So imagine, now this is kind of what the hexagram looks like. And I'm just gonna do like a really loose drawing of it. These are Yin broken lines. I'm sorry, it looks really bad. So the double lines leading up to the top. These are all Yin lines, broken lines, so they and then there's one yang line at the top. Okay, so this suggests that the Yin is eroding the young. Right. So the young, let's say the young is your religious belief, this would suggest that that religious belief is splitting apart, or let's say it's a political belief or a group affiliation, or a company that you belong to, the strong young line at the top would be like the thing that ideal that you serve, or the boss that you serve, or the doctrine that you follow, or whatever, it's something probably in this case, sort of Jupiterian, then you have all of these Yin lines rising up and essentially eroding that thing. So that's the splitting apart idea. But what's so interesting is that the fifth changing line here talks about this line, which all of the other Yin lines below it follow. So all of the rest of these lines are essentially following that fifth line. And that this fifth line aligns itself with the sixth line that is appropriate, so, to it. So in that sense, it then leads all of the other Yin lines to follow the appropriate guidance or principle at the top. So this is really nuanced teaching, and I am not by any means like a super I-Ching expert, right. But let me just give you a feel for what this is like. Let's say that in a traditional, you know, sort of a traditional household in the ancient world, it's kind of patriarchal in nature, okay, so just, I hate, you know, I hate all this too, but like, it's just kind of think about it from this old Confucian standpoint, let's say that, you know, the dad kind of sets the rules for the house, he's sort of the lawgiver in the house.

And, you know, not everybody in the house is, is really happy. In fact, the kids, the wife, you know, they're all rising up. And in a sense, they're about to topple a tyrannical father. But the wife who's at the very top closest to the husband, by relating closely to that line, has the power to interact with it in a way that it becomes worthy of following again, or that the principle of that top-line changes somehow, such that rather than all of those lines coming up to topple it, there's a reform that's made.

So just like the Protestant Reformation, rather than discarding Christianity, it's as if the Yin comes in. And rather than saying, let's topple it and throw it all out, it says, by my influence, by my persuasion, I am going to transform it so that it is more hospitable. And then everything else, rather than becoming an eroding influence, once again, falls into right relationship with it. It's a bit like, if a pastor were to get into some kind of moral trouble and have to go through, you know, rehab, if like, let's say a pastor fell into a time of having problems with like, like drugs or something and went to rehab to you know, recover from a problem with alcohol, that the influence, the reforming influence, could be one that creates something positive, that then restores some kind of balance and flow in the group. But it's a reforming element that comes in and says; you better change; otherwise, all of this energy is coming up to take you out.

Okay, so Mars Jupiter, again, could this be a moment that you know where that thing of like splitting off is happening? Or is the pressure there to reform or revise something so that it's more hospitable so you can be more aligned with the value? That, to me, that is one of the elements of this fifth line that, you know, speaks really loudly? I think that you look right now at this question, again, though as I'm like speaking, all of this, I'm thinking again, of the question of leadership versus following. Those who lead have to be aware of those who follow. If you're not aware of how those are, who are following are receiving you, are receiving the broader teachings. And there's any way in which you know; you're not listening. Eventually, that means you're not really serving; it means you're not aware of who you ought to be serving. And eventually, the group will topple the leader or the principal, or the thing that holds everything together will be overthrown, or in the best sense, if there starts to be a symbiotic understanding of what needs to change at the crucial time when things really do need to change, then reform is possible.

So I also see this as a moment of like having to make hard choices about whether to stick with something or quit something if something is capable of being reformed or if it's not capable of being reformed, which a lot of which boils down to whether someone or something is receptive to, to change or not. And this could be us; it could be something around us; we could be asking how much of an influence or impact can I have on someone or something to create change versus how intractable someone or something is or how intractable is something within myself.

So, I want to close by reading you guys something. And to me, the only way that I know how to deal with such energies is to turn to my spiritual practice. There's a book I've been reading about Quakerism because I've been going to some Quaker worship services lately, and it's been a great complement to my practice of bhakti-yoga. I'm really deeply enjoying the Quaker silent practice of silence. So they meet together; it's like a Universalist, Christian group that meets together and often practices, you know, it's a prayerful silence for basically an hour. And I'm really loving it. Anyway, I am reading this book about Quakerism, written by a guy named J. Brent Bill. And the book is called Holy Silence. And he says this,

"When we really want to hear and be heard, and be heard by someone we love, we don't go rushing into noisy crowds; we look for someplace quiet, a setting apart from all noise and distraction. Silence is, after all, a form of intimacy. That's how we experience it with our friends and lovers. As relationships grow deeper and more intimate, we spend more and more quiet time alone with our lover; we talk in low tones about things that matter. We do not shout them to each other, we may shout about them to others, but quietness is the hallmark of love."

I know that whenever I'm feeling most intensely that someone or something needs to be adjusted, reformed, modified, or I'm going to quit or, you know, whatever, like it is, or you know, or something needs to change in me, or I'm going to quit, or I'm going to do something, you know, that drastic sense of needing to act with from a place of conviction. You know, like when that comes up, however, that comes up. The best ally that I have is creating time, space, quiet and silence, deliberate periods, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour here or there to literally just sit and let the question be addressed by time, space and quiet. Or I will call up one of my dear friends and do exactly what this book is talking about, which is to share my heart in the quiet, small, intimate conversation with someone very dear to me, in that, that maybe that's a therapist, maybe it's a friend. But I know that when there are big decisions to be made, when there are when reform is needed when I need to align myself with something or step apart from something. And it feels like, you know, the boiling point is being reached here with Mars Jupiter. I know that it is silence and quiet, a prayerful attending to what's in front of me, that is going to help me out the most.

So I wanted to share these thoughts today. They're kind of rambling a little bit all over the place. I hope that they're useful to you. If you have stories to share about Jupiter Mars along these lines or any other lines that you know you want to share, please use the hashtag grabbed in the comment section or email us grabbed at nightlight astrology.com. I would love to hear about this transit and how you perceive it. How any of these lessons or key insights I've shared today are applicable to you, or if you have anything to add to them. I always love hearing from people.

That's what I've got for today. And on that note, I have planned time for quiet and silence this afternoon for myself. So I'm gonna go do that and I hope you'll check. You know, check into that silence. If you need to, as well. All right, take it easy. Bye.
