..."On MONDAY - now #Mars - the way we take action and go after what we want - reaches his exact trine (brakes off) with lightning fast, lightning-in-a-bottle #Uranus. #Mercury is still in trine, too.

TAKE ACTION. Something is falling into place. This is an earth trine - so grounded, practical.

A path of least resistance has just opened up.

Keep in mind the timeframes we talked about in the opening of this post.

Note - both Mercury and Mars have trined and are trining a strong Uranus who has just changed direction. All major planets are direct, and trines are saying THE BRAKES ARE OFF. The changes that were postponed are HERE, just keep in mind that although things can move fast with Pluto in Aquarius and some things will, Uranus doesn't actually move even one degree until March.

The things we are setting into motion now - the changes that were postponed - are BIG.

This is Cappy, so effort and ambition will pay off. We get, arguably, the BEST aspect - the trine - from two inner planets - us - to a powerful outer planet - everything that isn't us. This outer planet is about fast change/freedom/genius - wants change AT ANY COST and it pays not to mistake Uranus for Aquarius (why sober and time-honoring Saturn's co-rulership of Aquarius is necessary or we would be off the rails in about six seconds).

Collectively with Uranus in Taurus this is about smooth changes with our income, resources and self-esteem. New ideas about making money, getting more value from our existing resources and having greater SECURITY.

And, of course this is all happening with Mercury/Mars in square to the Nodes of Fate indicating we are at a crossroads/turning point in a cycle that HAS SOME HISTORY AND BAGGAGE CONNECTED TO IT.

Mercury trines Juno - good for conversations with partners, marital communication or re-negotiating contracts. Dotted lines will be signed on. Just keep in mind Juno is retrograde, so THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES LATER. Stay flexible. Juno is determined to fix what CAN be fixed within our relationships. Virgo is about the details/is exacting, so that is what we are looking at and talking about.

Little things are big things. "...

The amazing helicopter on Mars, Ingenuity, will fly no more

Ingenuity has spent more than two hours flying above Mars since April 2021.

Something has gone wrong with NASA's Ingenuity helicopter on the surface of Mars. Although the US space agency has not made any public announcements yet, a source told Ars that the plucky flying vehicle had an accident on its last flight and broke one of its blades. It will not fly anymore. (Shortly after this article was published, NASA confirmed the end of Ingenuity's mission).

When it launched to Mars more than three years ago, the small Ingenuity helicopter was an experimental mission, a challenge to NASA engineers to see if they could devise and build a vehicle that could make a powered flight on another world.

This was especially difficulty on Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, with a pressure of less than 1 percent that of Earth's. The solution they landed on was a very light 4-lb helicopter with four blades. It was hoped that Ingenuity would make a handful of flights and provide NASA with some valuable testing data.

But it turns out that Ingenuity had other ideas. Since its deployment from the Perseverance rover in April 2021, the helicopter has flown a staggering 72 flights. It has spent more than two hours—128.3 minutes, to be precise—flying through the thin Martian air. Over that time, it flew 11 miles, or 17 km, performing invaluable scouting and scientific investigations. It has been a huge win for NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one of the greatest spaceflight stories of this decade.
