Mercury square Mars: God grant me the serenity...

March 23, Mercury (communication, the way we think) in Pisces ("I dream", "I believe") square Mars (the planet of energy and assertiveness) in Gemini (communication, "I think"). Cafe Astrology says, "...and both bodies form minor squares to Pluto. We can be impatient or belligerent if communications are not going over smoothly. We can find ourselves too quickly in disagreement with others, possibly due to ineffective or impatient communications. There can be some paranoid thinking with this combination, and attempts to push our story or perspective can be lessons in frustration. We should watch for hasty communications and skipping steps. We may be competing for the floor when expressing our ideas, thoughts, and opinions, making it difficult to engage in healthy dialogue. We tend to have a bigger investment in outcomes today, and tensions run high if we don’t get our way. It can be difficult to fully commit to what we choose to do, as much as we’d like to, without the distractions of Pluto-related worries, concerns, and challenges. While competition can be motivating at times, we might take it a little too seriously today. If we harness these energies and use them for good, we might develop intelligent strategies to get to the bottom of a matter."

However, AstroButterfly says, "Mercury-Mars squares have a reputation of being confrontational, however Gemini and Pisces are mutable, and rather compromising signs. If anything, Mercury square Mars is about “let’s sort things out” rather than having arguments for the sake of having arguments."

Not surprising then that we may come across conflicting interpretations of today's energy. <G> Guess we need to be aware and see how this conflicting energy will show up for us, and respond in the best way we are able to.

And so I asked Spirit, "What does this Mercury-Mars square want us to know for our highest good?" and was gifted with...

6 - It Is What It Is

Key concepts: radical acceptance, engaging life on life’s terms, observing circumstances and taking them at face value, recognizing and releasing resistance and denial

The Oracle's Message: What happens when you look at the world? Can you see it exactly as it is or only as you assume it to be? A door closing isn’t an invitation to take a battering ram to it. What if there were another door to lead you to your destiny? If you can release your attachment to getting what you want, you’ll be surprised by how much energy you have for more important things. Liberated from the burden of yearning, you’ll have access to what is best for all. Can you try now to accept things as they are, and shift your focus and attention until that other door opens up for you?

Radically accept life on life’s terms; when you stop fighting against it and instead fight for what you truly desire, more of the world becomes available to you. When you are no longer in denial about what is in front of you, you will be empowered to make necessary changes with respect to yourself, your attitude, and your choices. The irony is that real transformation can happen once you surrender to the idea that things are exactly as they are meant to be.

If you step back with clarity and acceptance, you will realize that life is offering you something magical. Even if circumstances send you on a temporary detour, you will discover treasure beyond your imagination and a new way to embrace the world. Keep this prayer in mind: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
