Synchronicity at Play

I was reminded the other day during an astrology session with a client that the infinite wisdom of the Cosmos abounds when we listen with a delicate ear hearing the faint echoing of synchronicity at play. At the time of the session I was experiencing transiting Mars square my natal Sun making the exact natal aspect that so loudly resonated in the birth chart of my client; I found myself experiencing in present time what my client had experienced in birth time, namely a crisis in self-actualization, which manifested in my feeling unable to provide insight and understanding to my client.
My awareness of my immediate environment began shifting June 1st when Jupiter preparing to station retrograde stood still in my natal third house hovering opposite my natal Mercury cheekily challenging my established patterns of communication. Adding insult to injury on June 10 transiting Mercury in Taurus made a square to both holding my natal Mercury hostage unreasonably demanding a practical accounting of my “word-smith- worth”, or so it seemed to me.
Mercury is that aspect in each of us expressing our unique perception of reality often through the written word, and when our perception of reality is expressed under the influence of Taurus our words regenerating our personal values can uncannily punctuate our self- worth. Transiting Mercury square transiting Jupiter and square my natal Mercury delivered a wake-up-call heightening the potential for my words to build a suitable form for my thoughts and feelings if I was willing to shift my perspective and letting go of what I thought I knew gain a deeper trust in myself and in my worth.
Today, Jupiter in Aquarius stations retrograde shifting our perspective from external expansion to internal self- exploration insuring that the coming months can garner a time of revolt in our all too familiar “comfort zone” of self-acceptance. Jupiter is that aspect in each of us expanding, enlarging, magnifying, amplifying the unimagined, unformed, as yet unborn potentiality in each of us. Jupiter in Aquarius mixes a celestial brew of a radical change and a revolutionary awakening in consciousness that is further enlivened under the retrograde cycle guaranteeing us the joy of the unexpected if we have eyes to envision our self unbound.

Your phrase for Mars square Sun, “a crisis in self-actualization”, rang a bell for me but it was distant and muted–I have Mars square Sun in my birth chart and, long ago, I struggled with self-actualization. Yet, the very struggle that used to be a “crisis”, because of the struggle, has become a finely honed talent to BE an accomplished self-actualizer…
Your phrase, “cheekily challenging my established patterns of communication”, was the height of whimsically expressed Truth!!
The follow statement had me concerned with its seeming negativity: “Adding insult to injury on June 10 transiting Mercury in Taurus made a square to both holding my natal Mercury hostage unreasonably demanding a practical accounting of my “word-smith- worth”, or so it seemed to me.” But…
This next statement by you rectified the apparent negative with some Powerful Positivity: “Transiting Mercury square transiting Jupiter and square my natal Mercury delivered a wake-up-call heightening the potential for my words to build a suitable form for my thoughts and feelings if I was willing to shift my perspective and letting go of what I thought I knew gain a deeper trust in myself and in my worth.”
And, the following statement is such a poetical expression of the truth, I can only applaud your skill of expression: “Jupiter in Aquarius mixes a celestial brew of a radical change and a revolutionary awakening in consciousness that is further enlivened under the retrograde cycle guaranteeing us the joy of the unexpected if we have eyes to envision our self unbound.”
