Astrology for Monday, 25 May 2020:

Today Mars in Pisces makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, then the Moon in Cancer makes a sextile to Uranus and a trine to Mars as they separate. Together, Mars and Uranus can describe the moment when we snap, the breaking point, the volatile breaking away and separating, the sudden propulsion toward other possibilities. In describing the “Feminist Snap,” Sara Ahmed writes, “When we snap, we do not always know what we are doing. And when we snap, we do not always know where we are going. And yet we snap because of what we have been doing; we snap because where we have been is no longer where we can be.” Today you might find yourself at a breaking point, an occasion of snapping, because where you have been or what you have been doing is no longer bearable to sustainable. SNAP. Without knowing what you are doing or where you are going, something inside you impels you toward the possibility of something else. Ahmed describes this as “an optimism without a future, an optimism that makes a break of something the start of something without knowing what this something is, or what it might be.” With the Moon, Uranus, and Mars all in receptive water and earth signs, this snappy optimism, this breakaway that becomes a beginning, might be something we feel on the inside, within the felt body, that then demands some form of externalization. It may feel as if it comes out of nowhere, but the breaking point never comes out of nowhere. It is just finally making itself known.
