FIRE AND RAIN

     In astrology, Fire signs are about enthusiasm and energy. As Mars has moved into Sagittarius now, it joins with Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries. Expansive energy heating up and boiling over. Heart energy, love, that wants to be expressed, spoken, acted upon. Warmth in you that wants to warm those around you. Courage, that moves you to go where your heart wants to take you, and do what your soul urges you to do. Fire signs bring heat to burn off your fear and hesitancy and defensiveness, to reveal the beauty and vitality of the real you.
     And yet, at the same time the Water signs are working. Neptune and Chiron are in mystical compassionate vulnerable Pisces, and Saturn is brooding in Scorpio. The Water signs are about emotional experience, including fear, sadness, empathy, jealousy and rage, as well as joy, gratitude, and peace. In this expansive time, the Water signs ground you in emotional honesty, and depth of caring and responsiveness and nurturing connection. And healing, deep permanent healing when you feel your vulnerability and embrace your tenderness.
     So go forth in Fiery enthusiasm, being willing to be vulnerable and sensitive. Feel the subtle complexity of the will to create and expand, grounded in the deep wells of feeling that sustain you. Emotional sensitivity is not the enemy of creativity and outward accomplishment. Those two dimensions of life work together, like the fire and the rain.
