Fight-or-Flight

The planet Mercury entering Libra signals an opportunity for harmonious communication in our relationships by teaching us the fine art of conversation requiring that each of us  to learn how to listen to one another. When we are under the influence of Libra we are seeking justice, peace and a genuine respect for people. When Mercury is in Libra we discover justice, peace and respect in our communication with one another.  Mercury disposing the Sun in Virgo, preparing to station retrograde, and forming the apex of a cardinal T-Square shared with Mars opposing Pluto is reflecting the precision of origami unfolding to reveal  an essential piece of our life overlooked and preventing us from seeing the full picture.

Mercury square Mars and Pluto is warning us against taking impulsive action that may be based upon information with a hidden agenda. Mars opposing Pluto can infuse an intense surge in our adrenaline triggering even the mildest of temperaments into a “fight-or-flight” frenzy. Mercury in Libra is seeking fair -minded communication, Mars in Cancer nurturing action, and Pluto in Capricorn  social transformation. This cardinal T-Square is giving us the opportunity to meet a current crisis from the perspective of creating stability rather than promoting fear if we are willing to take decisive action on behalf of our future and re-direct our mental and physical energy toward sharing. This month is ripe for a deep and transforming analysis of why we think and act as we do, which is certain to challenge our existing perception of “truth” by propelling our concern for justice into a larger sphere of activity.
