Mercury conjunct the Lunation in Capricorn Sextile the Mars / Neptune Conjunction in Pisces January 8th, 2017

  SxS 2017  

The triple conjunction in Capricorn, Sun, Moon and Mercury
formed an approaching sextile with the Mars / Neptune conjunction
in Pisces. This pattern will soon include Capricorn's Pluto.
These aspects formed around 8 - 10°.

The theme of this pattern is

Taking action on new perspectives.

What's happening?

Conjunctions between different Inner Selves increase the power (and effectiveness) of both, just as the right kinds of real-life friends and allies help you reach common goals faster and better than if everyone works alone. Right now there are two powerful clusters -- two existing or impending conjunctions in sextile to one another -- with a basketful of goodness to deliver. Mercury / Moon / Sun / Pluto in Capricorn on one side. Mars / Neptune in Pisces on the other.

They show a fine blend of self-confidence, intellectual clarity, emotions, spiritual foundations and physical energy working together for common goals -- all of them impressive. Capricorn energy gives practicality, structure and tangible results to Pisces' vision and idealism. Pisces gives inspiration and exceptional spiritual perspectives to Capricorn's hard-headed determination and building talents. Could you imagine a better combination for getting worthwhile stuff done?
