Contractive Friction

from High Heart Weekly Podcast · host James Governale

Well, last week we were encouraged to embrace some dynamic tension. This week you may be feeling more contraction from the friction. Mars and Saturn are squaring off. Our Mutable Grand Cross has ended, as we have no current placements in Gemini. We still have high activation in Sagittarius with the Sun, Venus and Mars. Paired with Pisces activation with the North Node, Neptune and Saturn. The attention is toward the square aspect between Mars and Saturn this week (since Friday) until Friday 12/12. Are you having experiences where you’re feeling like you’re in a contractive space? Are you noticing any friction of choices rubbing against each other? Mars in Sagittarius wants you to use will and exertion to get what you want. Yet this won’t be so easy with a Saturn square aspect. Saturn in Pisces follows a different clock. So it will be in your best interest to taper any forceful Martian energy and use the mutable nature of Sagittarius to your situation. Rather than push through, use the energy of Mars in Sagittarius to bob and weave. Be ready for any punch Saturn will throw at you. If you notice your efforts are meeting resistance, don’t be discouraged. You’ll find the backing you’re looking for once you ease your hand on the throttle. You don’t have to relinquish control completely. Just find the intensity level that fits setting for the current scenario you’re facing. Friction doesn’t mean failure; it can signal readjustment. If you’re curious about where your Mars and Saturn are in your birth chart, reach out and we can schedule a reading for you! High Heart Weekly is a reader-supported publication.
