MERCURY conjuncts MARS in Virgo

When MERCURY conjuncts MARS in Virgo, the mind cuts every which way, and one is practically able to argue the question or analyse the point from every angle to achieve the desired result.

Anger arises when things are observed to not be working as functionally and efficiently as one might wish, and the trine to URANUS, now stationing to retrograde in Taurus, stirring matters relating to profit or cost-cutting means into an abrupt frenzy. Several things appear to be coming to a head towards this second Aquarian Full Moon (Sunday). For those wanting some “freedom”, “liberty”, “democracy” and all those other Uranean/Aquarian buzzwords – just know that it ain’t gonna come without conflicts and friction – so get set to ‘fight for your right’, whether you feel like it or not, because someone’s about to fight for theirs all over you…

“Those who profess to favour freedom and yet depreciate agitation are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
~ Frederick Douglass

As usual with Virgo – and I have to keep reiterating this – there is a tendency to go the full purge & flush the baby down with the bathwater – a thing Virgo often regrets when she withdraws or cuts herself off. A reminder to those about to commit social hari-kari, you are not an isolated unit – you’re a member of the human race. It takes more than a tree to make a forest, and god knows we need every tree to pull in here and breathe some oxygen back into this.

On a socio-political level, this primal mob-mentality energy can be rallied toward extreme fascistic political ends. Totalitarians and bully-buddies right and left summon it directly when they become angrily vocal of purges, inoculations, ethnic cleansing, racial purity, and eliminating traitors in our midst.
