-Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Mercury in Bold Aries means newness. A great potential of this period is the increased possibilties for new concepts and perspectives. Doors and Windows are opened for others to follow. Pioneering thinking is always out of the box. It's not Aries' job to substantiate its case. It is, rather, to spark the imagination and open a new world of possiblities.
Mars in Cancer reflects a more feminine attitude to action and assertion which will help us all evolve away from 5,000 years of war. The combination of Mars in sensitve Cancer can bring is defensiveness. If Mars does not have new paths to blaze, it can easily retreat to a position of vulnerability and insecurity. Overt aggression may not result, but grumpy behavior and moodiness are possible. One can easily play the victim, if that's a familiar pattern.
The expansiveness and optimism of Jupiter are restrained in Capricorn where speculation is limited to ideas that can actually be turned into reality
Be Aware that Saturn in Leo deals with Serious Events concerning Children and Their Rights
Between Saturn and Uranus their is a Maverick, Asteroid/Planet called Chiron
