Until Friday, April 24thMercury will have crossed the important threshold of 3 degrees of distance from both Mars and Saturn. This means Mercury is heading toward a clearer, less challenging path.
In turn, in your life, this could show you how to overcome an obstacle, overcome a problem, or find your way forward and out of a difficult situation.
Even better for Mercury is that its next aspect is to Jupiter in Cancer, as on Sunday, April 26, Mercury will square Jupiter from 18 Aries to 18 Cancer.
The flow from this aspect of Mercury square Jupiter can be support and encouragement, ending an exciting opportunity, or simply the return of a sense of optimism and possibility.
Movement and the planets
While it’s easy to focus on a specific aspect, especially in the context of a birth chart, I’m always curious about what a planet might be doing next, not just what it’s currently focused on. Taking note of this movement, flow and exchange between planets can be revealing. Check out this free class on movement in the birth chart here.
Since Mercury is now transitioning from a tough enclosure with Saturn and Mars to an uplifting encounter with Jupiter, you too might feel that plans and ideas are transitioning, for the better.
Direct, Decisive, Clear: Mercury in Aries
Mercury continues through Aries and although Mercury is no longer in direct degree-based aspect to Mars, it continues to receive information and guidance from Mars in Aries.
This means that Mercury is decisive and direct and carries a sense of boldness. This expressive and determined quality of Mercury will continue until Mercury enters Taurus on May 2.
Mercury is ready to set your strategy, make a decision, and get started on what’s next.
If you’ve been deliberating over a decision or finding yourself weighing the pros and cons of which option to pursue, Mercury’s growing clarity and conviction can help you make your choice and get going.
Lunar Links: Crescent Moon Support in Cancer and Leo
Additionally, the Moon, as it moves through Cancer and Leo from Wednesday to Saturday, can also provide support, especially as the Moon itself is growing and growing in light and influence.
In Cancer and Leo, the Moon will have an Aries aspect, showing repeated lunar pushes towards Mercury and its ruler Mars.
Your prospects for planning, learning, and organizing improve greatly from midweek and continue through Sunday. In fact, if you use the same orb of 3 degrees separation from Mercury to Jupiter, this helpful influence persists until Tuesday, April 28.
I know I’ll use this timeline to organize some overdue things, schedule meetings, finalize important documents (we’re in the process of finally doing our bidding!), and clarify updated decisions, both personally and professionally.
Jupiter in Cancer: naturally protective and cautious
Mercury’s link to Jupiter in Cancer could inspire you to stretch and grow within reason. After all, any planet in Cancer, even Jupiter, has a natural protective advantage.
So, it’s not about making a big change or a grandiose, over-the-top plan, but rather taking a significant step in a manageable direction. It’s about saying yes to whatever portion or part of the next thing you feel willing to pursue.
