Let me tell you a little bit about what
I'm seeing before I get into the daily forecast. Prior to Mars
flipping retrograde, I was talking a whole lot about how to get what
you want, how to decide what you want, etc. Are you going after what
you want or are you doing what “they” think you should do?
This started all the way back when Mars
entered Libra and I was even talking about it during Libra season
last fall. At that time, I told people, “You will be challenged
when Mars turns RX.”
Well, that's exactly what I'm seeing. I
am seeing people who have something they want or somewhere they want
to be challenged or threatened.
I keep going back to the story of my
son who has Mars Rx in his natal chart. From the very beginning with
him, as early as learning to walk, he would try to stand and get
pushed down. Take a few steps, get pushed down. Then, finally, he was
making a lot of progress and ended up contracting pneumonia and was
FORCED to sit down because he had an IV in his ankle and was
restricted to a croup tent.
Why is this happening? Does the
Universe just exist in order to test us?
Well..I'm not really sure, to be
honest. I don't know if it is our plans that need to be tested? Do we
need to reconsider what we are doing? Are there adjustments that need
to be made? Or, is it our resilience and tenacity that is being
tested? MAYBE we are being put in positions to build our tenacity and
resilience for a reason. Maybe we are going to need it down the road
when Mars enters this Cardinal Cross with Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter.
Is the Universe separating the wheat
from the chaff here? Are we finding out if we are quitters or the
type of person who keeps marching forward in the face of adversity?
Are we finding out whether what we want is worth the energy it is
going to take to overcome these obstacles? Are we learning that
sometimes we need to give up on something and go back to the drawing
board?
I think the answers
to those questions are very personalized. Sometimes, we do decide it
is time to give up. And, other times, a challenge arises, and then
another and another and we defiantly stare at the Universe and say,
“Is that all you got? Because, I'm getting back up and moving
forward again anyway!”
How bad do you want it? Are you sure?
What if I throw this obstacle in your path and add a little
criticism/resistance from others in the mix. What if I throw
“Nay-sayers” at you who say what you want to do is ridiculous?
Are you going to follow your heart? Or are you going to allow their
negativity to dissuade you? What are you made of?...Punk. This is planetary BOOT CAMP!
This is what I'm seeing. Mars RX in all
his glory. Stand up. Get pushed down. Stand up, take a few steps,
fall over something and bust your nose. Stand up, get physically ill
until you have to go down.
Does that mean you aren't supposed to
walk? Should my son have just given up? If he had, he'd be 19 years
old and still crawling. Instead, he's walking around upright like
there never was a problem to begin with. He DID succeed in learning
how to walk and the struggles of learning are a very distant memory.
And, as a result of this struggle (and many others he
encountered..playing sports, riding a bike, etc), he's pretty
freaking tenacious. And, patient. And, NON-VIOLENT.
Do you have grit? Do you have stamina?
Are you flexible enough to make adjustments without letting setbacks
deter you from what you want? We are finding this out right now.
And, I'm holding my cards close to my
chest. This isn't typical or comfortable for me. I have a
broadcasting Mercury in Scorpio in the 9th. Want to know
my game plan? I'm very prone to divulge every detail to you. But, not
this time. No. I'm saving that energy for playing my hand. Poker
face. Which is exceedingly hard given that I also have a first house
Moon.
Change the way you go about things.
Switch things up. Try a different tactic but for goodness sake, make
sure you STAND BACK UP. Ok? No allowing this RX frustrating Mars to
back up on you. No internal swirling vortex of anger and frustration.
Instead, convert that into something you can use in the face of
adversity.
Anyway, that's what I'm seeing. Stand
up. Get pushed down. Stand up. Trip over something and smash your
face. Is it worth it? You are about to find out.
This morning at 8:30 AM Moon in Gemini
aspects the Sun in Pisces via square at just short of 18 degrees.
That is the First Quarter Moon as we are waxing our way to the Full
Moon in Virgo. First Quarters are notorious for throwing up blocks
and increasing tensions. Stand. Back. Up.
Then at 3:20 PM, Moon in Gemini meets
her ruler, Mercury in Aquarius, via trine.
We might get pushed down, but by early
evening our mind and emotional body are on the same page. Use that to
get some of your frustrations out. Talk out your plans with your
close friends. Engage your higher mind to come up with tactics to
adjust your path in the face of obstacles. Rationalize those emotions
out. What am I feeling? Why?
Gather your rosebuds of information
where ye may. The picture and the path are going to become
clearer...eventually. 20 years from now, these struggles are going to
be either something you allowed to push you down and make you stay
down. Or, they are going to be a distant memory of when you acquired
the skills you needed to move forward during adversity. I know which
path I want to look back on. Do you?
