“Here is what we have to offer you in its most elaborate form –confusion guided by a clear sense of purpose” – G. Matta Clark

A split or break in some structure of life may be initiated or about to happen. Structures never get destroyed they change. Structures are like buildings they sustain our reality, sometimes they become limiting, thus they need to evolve in order to better sustain us. Even if we don’t know where the break needs to be made, the act itself is facilitated, the energy present to make this happen.

From the outside it may just look like a split, from the inside it becomes a glimpse of light that illuminates space. We need to become aware of that space before we decide what is to become of it. Cutting through, requires a precise incision that will reveal an alternate viewpoint that gives insight and will shift our focus. This new focus can potentially become a vision for where and how our energy will be invested from now on. The structures that we are about to act on, can be our limiting thought patterns and belief systems, our ethics, the “truths” we adhere on, our repressed desires, or a house we are just about to build or renovate. Any resistance to these actions, must be dealt with caution and the necessary mental processing and prioritising information. Something is about to be revealed. Narrowing vision can magnify details but will also give immense clarity of purpose. The ground we stand on may be slippery, so a good sweeping and releasing of soft spots may be required.

All this re-doing, reinforcing, re-acting that has been brewing or imploding, since April 18th when Mars went Retrograde, caused a lot of inner stirring, an untimely sense of activity or inactivity and a need to generally respond to deep impulses on an individual level. Several violent and rather pervasive events manifested on the collective sphere where responses triggered ambivalence and an atmosphere of “past unfinished business” that would have to be revisited. As we will now gradually switch onto a more direct mode of action, especially on this day of Station as it appears from our vintage point, the energy of Mars has a lot of strength, impact and staying power (being in dignity in the sign of Scorpio), so it will intensify consciousness of “how we do things”, what it is really that drives and motivates our actions.

Actions take on a special sense of critical importance today, so it helps to become more conscious of what we do, act upon or promote with our attitude. Within this context Brexit, and the saddening violent event of the Istanbul airport terrorist attack may very well be events that motivate further actions either through re-actions or implementation of separative controlling measures and defence mechanisms in the collective sphere. As Mars appears to travel in direct motion through the last degrees of Scorpio until August the 2nd, we may assume a more direct control of, our actions, plans, ways of doing, expressing desires and passions, defending territory, implementing, initiating, “breaking” from things or people or fighting with courage.
