I hope you navigated the full moon energy in as grounded a way as possible.
We’re going to go deep into a lesson on Mars today. Grab your notebook and a cup of tea!
Mars is officially direct on Thursday, January 12, at 3:56 pm ET.
When a personal planet like Mars turns direct, we feel it. Things happen in our life — and even if they seem insignificant on a day-to-day level, in the big picture of our soul work, there are important lessons we’re getting another look at.
Apply Mars stationing direct to your natal chart.
Pull out your natal chart and put your finger on these two spots: 25° and 8° of Gemini. Yes, you’re going backward because Mars appeared to be moving back in the sky. That’s the path Mars took over these past few months.
Next, look to see what houses Mars has been traveling through. There’s a good chance it could be two houses because Mars covered so much Gemini territory.
Mars was “triggering” these houses in your chart. Those are the areas of life for you to look at. There’s something important for you to “get” in here.
Now, think about Mars topics —anger, sex, strength, action, survival, triggers, courage, competition, fighting, your vital energy, conflict, your warrior energy, and your badassness.
Mars in Gemini is about all of those things in a mental and verbal way. Mars in Gemini uses its air — as in its words, communication, ideas, and perspective.
Mars has been stationing at 8° of Gemini since January 2. Think about what has been particularly “Marsy” in your life. Look at the list of Mars topics and see what’s popping up.
Mars is still in Gemini until the end of March.
And it’s still in its “shadow phase“ until mid-March. From now until then, it will retrace its steps and track back where it’s already been in the sign of Gemini. Now we get to apply what we learned. We get to work out the kinks and iron out the details.
Consider making a note on your calendar for March 26th —that’s when Mars will finally move on to Pisces. What Mars lessons did you apply?
If you love to journal…
Get all this on paper. Don’t let all these little opportunities for reflection, growth, and awareness pass you by. I don’t think you are one of those people that would do that, or else you wouldn’t want these emails from me. There’s good stuff for us to see and integrate into our wholeness during these retrograde periods, especially the personal planets.
There’s likely more than one area getting highlighted for you — transists work in layers. These retrograde periods allow us to go deeper into our personal Mars work in this lifetime.
You’ve heard me say this many times; it all goes back to your own unique “Mars promise.” What did you sign up to do in this lifetime? Whatever has been showing up over the past few months in relation to Mars being retrograde also has to do with your natal Mars placement. By sign, house, and aspects.
Today’s message was quite in-depth. We take a close look at in the Luminary Parenting Community. The doors are closed right now (opening sometime in May), but you can get on the waitlist here and be the first to know when the doors reopen.
Enjoy your week,
