Cosmic Dirt Horoscope: September 18, 2011, Burning Hearts, Mars enters Leo

Skies begin to clear as Moon enters flexible Gemini. We experience the present, by holding less onto our yesterday. Friendships, small trips, and various forms of communications are highlighted, benefitting the Moon/Uranus sextile that motivates our ideas into action. As Luna trines Venus, we enjoy the investments that we're making.Later this evening, heavy clouds begin to roll in as Venus squares Pluto. Our dark side reveals itself, and slowly unfolds in our hearts. Some unpleasantries are to be expected under this aspect if we lack self-control over our inner demons. Trust that the foundation that we stand for can be heavily challenged, and defenses will be high when pushed. Be aware that communications will be factual and seem less compassionate under the cool Gemini Moon. Make an effort to add gentleness.Mars (energy, desires) also enters Leo for the next eight weeks. The last weeks as Mars transit through Cancer, we may have stumbled and stalled with uncertainties on direction. That doesn't exist now. Our actions to plunge forward are intentionally enhanced from the simple truth that we hold in our hearts. What we know and feel, we trust and follow. Our potential to lead others into the right direction, depends on our confidence as well as the ability to warmly touch others. The steps we take to make life happen are on fire now. Anyone can 'talk the talk', but we show others that we 'walk the walk', and mean what we say. We honor our word, we follow through on promises, and we create magic for ourselves and for those who have have faith.On the flip side, Mars in Leo also has its shadow side. Mars is pushy and egotistical, and with the fixed energy of Leo, narcissism and bully tendencies can uproot. The travel ahead can be bumpy because it is one-sided, and one-sided only. There's no room for negotiation, because we may let our guard down, and have a deep fear of losing control.The use of virtue and honor will light our own path, especially with Venus and Saturn transiting in peaceful Libra. These two dedicated planets support our efforts to create balance and fairness, but we must be willing to commit ourselves to maintain equality. Otherwise, we're left with unstable grounds that continue expose genuine weaknesses. With Pluto (purge, transform) moving in direct motion, we need to be cautious that the rot is breaking away. 'The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it, and the faith to believe that it is possible.' David Viscott.
