                  I'm sure that followers of my YouTube and other video platforms are tired of me harping about Mars in Gemini. However, Mars transited into Gemini in August of 2022 and the planet completes its stay in Gemini in March of 2023. And while people with outer planets in Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) feel the brunt of this Mars transit, for the sake of this article I'm focusing on the Pluto and Uranus in Virgo group born roughly in the 1960s. Please go to my YouTube channel Astrologer Patricia and my Vimeo channel The Lyra Star Messenger for more details about Mars in Gemini in relationship to the power of words and thoughts. I'll refrain from that topic in this article. But we had the opportunity for eight months (by the time Mars moves into Cancer) to clean up our thoughts and our word use so that we can create better lives for ourselves.   A Bit about Mars Mars is a personal planet so it doesn't carry the weight of the trans-persona

We know that squares bring inner tension but this inner tension affects large swaths of people born during a seven year period when Uranus was in Aquarius and Leo. So, playing with the themes of Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus, here's are the potentialities of the Uranus Square with Natal Uranus.

If you were born from August 1955 and August 1962 (possibly other times when Uranus was dipping in and out of Leo), then, your main conflict is with self-care versus self indulgence. This could even refer to hedonistic behaviors when coming from the ego. The higher consciousness of this square is to live on the

                  Information drifted into my thoughts about Leo being the shadow of the Aquarius Age. And Virgo was the shadow of the Pisces Age and so on. Since I find this intriguing, I'm going to channel this blog post on Leo as the shadow or projection of the Aquarius energy. What will this mean for the Age of Aquarius? First, let's revisit the concept of a shadow. I believe it was the psychoanalyst Carl Jung who discovered the shadow side in a human. And the concept of the shadow revolves around the hidden parts of ourselves that we suppress because we are ashamed of those parts of ourselves. These wounds which show up as shadows usually occur in our first five years of life but I believe the wounds can show up later too. (Look for videos or stories of people who rose to fame and the fell from power. This gives you good examples of the destruction of unclaimed shadows). Since we suppress these shadows consequences of the shadows include self-sabotage or harming others who
