Another image that stuck with me from my walk to work this morning was a bicycle chained to a lamppost. Although it’s not abnormal for a bicycle to be chained up, we don’t tend to think of it that way. Say “bicycle” to any innocent bystander and the imagery and energy you’ll most likely conjure is that of movement, swift and sleek.

But that’s not the bicycle’s fault. The bicycle doesn’t necessarily inherit swift, sleek movement. That’s what we bring to it — our preconceived notion about what a bicycle is and does. And it could, in fact, be argued that a bicycle does naturally come with the energy of movement. After all, that’s what it was made for.

But only if it’s joined with an able and willing pair of legs to put it in motion. If it happens to be coupled with something besides that pair of legs — a chain and lock, for instance, or the grill of a large truck, or a house fire — it gives off entirely different energy.

And so it goes. If you have, say, Mars conjunct Saturn in your birth chart, you might feel like the first image much of the time — motion restrained. But what if your Mars is conjunct Jupiter and Mercury high in your chart?

I’d say don’t fly too close to the sun.

But you’d probably just look at me and laugh.
