DARING TO CREATE Daily Astrology Sat 3rd Oct Mars in Leo exactly opposite Pluto in Aquarius. A day to demand more of yourself creatively, however that works for you. There are things you have to say that are unique to you, and you will not be a true human until you start doing that. Until then, you will necessarily be a herd member, thinking the thoughts and living the life that has been supplied to you. There is nothing wrong with that, it is where we all start, and many people are content to live their whole lives in this way. But if you are reading this, the creative spark, the drive to individuate, is alive in you. Mars in Leo gives the boldness, the chutzpah even, to come out with it, gloriously and spontaneously. It is not a day for hiding behind self-doubt: wring its neck, and get on with it. Self-doubt is often just hidden pride anyway. In any discipline or path, there is a point where you move away from being the student or earnest disciple, and bring something of your own to the table. You reinvent the tradition: this is the power of Pluto in Aquarius. There will be voices, largely in your own head, that say you are a bad person for breaking the rules, who are you to know better? This is part of the initiatory fire, the burning away of the dross, that comes with being creative. It took me 10 years of doing readings to feel I was a 'proper' astrologer. The Leo-Aquarius axis requires a balance between the claims of the individual and the community. Whatever it is that makes your heart sing, dare to put it out there, the world needs to hear it.
