Mars and Jupiter Moves Us To Commit
Stardrops August 11 2024
A review of Mercury conjoin Venus, from June to August and its soft yet relentless energies which changed us, leading into Mars conjoin Jupiter, square Saturn.
Today, I can’t help but reflect upon an astrological cycle one would consider mild which began last June. Yet it was to become something great. I know this cycle has already passed, but, we are still processing and assimilating its impact.
We are in the last part of the cycle now, and it should have altered how you feel about yourself, your life, your potential and power within.
The expansion of your potential and future aspirations, could be a result of the supporting energies of Mercury and Venus. It’s as if the Quicksilver Messenger took an epic message from the Divine Venus and announced to us all, a new era was beginning on earth, and that there would be many who participate in this new way of life, in the launching of a well defined community purpose.
These energies’ purpose is to upgrade and increase the best qualities possible within us, merging with those higher dimensions of light, personally and spreading throughout society, whether the world escalates in its chaos or not, this is a very determined advance of love and intelligence coming into the earth.
You could call it a dispensation I suppose, a grant or boon of immense light, with a purpose. This boon is to draw people up into their innate worth. It demands growth, service, self development. It crosses into all areas of life.
Below is my synopsis of how I saw these planetary energies becoming a funnel of inspiration directed right into our world, launching the new blueprint
The Mars/Jupiter conjunction and how Mercury was the precursor to this impetus of re-inventing our life.
It feels like a fresh new start.
The first time I noticed the Mars/Jupiter aspect was in June, but there was another force in the heavens inspiring me, a pattern of Venus and Mercury in conjunction, once in June in Cancer, and again in August in Virgo, the divine Goddess.
Venus and Mercury were impacting us for the past few months, leading up to August 7, 2024, the date of a completion of a process. Venus means so much beyond love. It impacts our worth, our ability to recognize it. Our value, innately and what we value in life. This cycle zeros in on caring more about our choices, almost as if we were running out of time and had to get this embodiment, our opportunity, right. So it’s magnifying the importance of really mirroring our Divine Self with the help of Venus.
- Key insights occurred, inspiring our minds, motivating us to transform our sense of limitation and negativity to claiming our own personal worth, our value (It could have also been a business value, net worth, money or industry/product and its value), but starts especially with our worth (Venus).
- This Mercury/Venus inspires to formulate clear decisions (mental effort, Mercury). To fight back against mediocrity and inertia, and step into a new view of who we really are and what we were capable of becoming.
- This requires us to work on integration and inner vision,, that the YOU which is above, can pour itself into the you, here below, and if that is true, we have infinite access to that supreme wisdom, love and power which is in the Higher Self’s existence above.
- This Venus Mercury inspired us to work on self image. It was elevating our sense of our innate value, our best potential,. It automatically exposes the false projections coming from those standing in our way of this new awareness.
- The 2nd peak of Mercury/Venus was August 7, when Mercury turned stationary retrograde. The Moon also to moved to 0* – 5* Virgo August 5 – 7 at the same time joining Venus and Mercury, adding an emotional invested energy to this event. This time becomes an important date for us all as it is a moment of increased guidance, energy and light to launch a new, “something” which becomes amplified and spreads. Because Venus conjunction occurs in Virgo, the symbol of the Divine Goddess, we receive the highest form of beauty, immense love and refined detailed plan to upgrade our plan, which then spreads to society, for those who can experience it. Virgo also expects attention to details and conscientiousness of mastering our own worth, living as if we really do count, we matter, we are Divine.
Stop and ponder, if something sharp clear as an inner guidance may have come to you in the past weeks or months. Any Important conversations, meetings and social connections, gatherings and talks occurred, any plans and inspirations recently, all act as a necessary next great step. It would be important to write them down, as you are in the process of creating your very own Cosmos.
Realization reaches a crescendo, and now Mars moves into position. The Mars and Jupiter conjunction begins August 14 – 24, 2024.
We have changed!
This leads up to the Mars/Jupiter conjunction
Jupiter conjoin Mars begins August 10 -17, peaks on August 13 -15th and Jupiter/Mars squares Saturn on August 14 – 24 2024 (below)
As we were being strongly guided on the inner, towards this new attitude, position or whatever inspired you, working towards our worth, enter Mars/Jupiter where the insights and inspirations we receive inspires us to take action. This is where we are now.
The new cycle of Mars and Jupiter motivates action such as launching a new plan, or project, a new position, a new commitment to ourselves. But it is something more refined because we have become clearer. It could be a decision which requires taking a risk, or going beyond our typical self.
If you just take from this Stardrops these two ideas;
A – that we’ve been prepared and guided to accept more of our Divine Self, and really work at it from June on…and
B – a stronger and clearer direction to put into action, a new plan for ourselves, starting August, then you have got it.
As you can see in the chart below, the Mars/Jupiter in Gemini opposing Moon in Sagittarius from August 13 – 15th magnifies our mental absorption of information, intensifies the feeling we have to incorporate it all! They both square Saturn in Pisces which enforces a healthy skepticism and squares Venus in Virgo, demanding analysis, detailed strategy and a lot of editing and perfection of the thing you are attempting to start. It is called a Grand Yellow Cross, which is a wisdom theme.
Every time you achieve something new, it requires re-inventing yourself, which is exactly what we’ve been doing since June!
So whatever is on your plate to handle and initiate into action during August 13 – 20, let’s say, be careful cautions, stick to your boundaries with a pragmatic reality, research leading you to a plan or conclusion. You could feel overwhelmed because of so much information you are trying to absorb, or decisions which must be made now, or put things into priority during this time, but there is interference, limitations, budgets, time constraints, etc..etc..
AFFIRMATION
“I AM easily prioritizing and choosing what is the most effective message or course of action to take. My Divine Presence always discerns perfectly, and I move forward with life, confidently and successfully with all I do.”
A Yod created between Mercury retrograde inconjunct Pluto and Neptune
(See above Mercury link) – A time of strong decisions made which have required much discernment, pondering and some sacrifice. Yods are never easy, as they require a shift in thinking to do the highest best thing possible, under pressure and not so perfect, conditions.
.
August 10 – 13 Mercury at 0-2* Virgo inconjunct Pluto at 0* Aquarius (one part of the YOD)
Frustrations with accomplishing particular tasks. Difficulties with getting anything completed.
August 13 – 16 Mercury at 0* Virgo – 28* Leo inconjunct Neptune at 29* Pisces (the 2nd part of the YOD)
Interference with one’s moods, disruptions, energy. Expecting positive outcomes for these days, yet things are not ideal, not clear, something is missing, but must move forward and feel useful or accomplish something anyway, regardless of how imperfect it is.

Neptune’s highest energies when in a positive sense, releases divine aspirations, inspirations, Utopian ideals, beauty and art, the etheric plane. When Neptune is in a trine or sextile aspect, it is releasing positive uplifting aspirations towards a cause or higher purpose, a mission or the people want to realize something magical or other worldly.
Pluto’s highest energies (which it is able to release during these dates above) are activities involving putting new systems, powerful energies, impetus, tenacity, money, investing, group or joint effort, humanitarian joint effort, combined resources, power structures, concentrated centers of order, power and authority as a reserve of energy. It enhances and works together with Neptune during these dates to increase cooperation towards new arrangements within those who are in charge, builds an ideal, to permanently structure and transform society in several areas of life.
