It's easy to get pissed off, when Mars turns retrograde. After all, he's the planet representing Aggression, Push, Drive, Thrust, Assertion, Masculinity, Violence, War, Weapons, Action and Wham Bam thank you Ma'am.
Lord knows I've been antsy lately as Mars squares my natal Mars. Talk about a lesson in Energy.
In the sign of Taurus (fixed earth) mountains truly are immovable, but do we stand and butt out heads against them, dig our heels in like Taurus insists. Problems remain, as does Taurus, when Mars moves backwards through the sign of the Bull.
Patience. I think that about sums it up right now. Whatever you're going through (no doubt, financial delays - manifested in throat or thyroid problems, along with the need to express ones true feelings instead of repressing or swallowing our Truth) face the fact that progress may not be as easy as you'd think.
Have we missed a few steps on our heat-seeking Mars mission? Whatever you're trying to achieve, building blocks and a step-by-step approach can't be avoided. Not now, with the planet of Energy re-directed inwards in a sign known for its slow, steady way movement.
People with their Natal Mars in the other fixed signs Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio are bound to experience the tension like no one else - Aquarian Mars want to be free to act how they choose, butting heads with others around them who try and slow them down, Taurus style. Can they find financial freedom? Leo Mars want their way and say, but delays cause ego problems - how can you be on top if you're unsure of your footing? Scorpio Mars want to get about tearing down useless ways of living while Taurus Mars asks us to grow and build on what we have. Go back over your Taurus foundations before you call in the Bull -dozer.
With planets in your chart in Taurus, Mars goes back over these retrograding, to help you unlock exactly what value it has for you. You simply can't miss it - Mars hammers on it again and again until Dec 10 so you understand what it is about that planet that makes you mad or fires you up for action.
Emotions are Energy in Motion (e-motion) and Mars moving backwards helps us see how we use our vital energy force. Do you have enough now, or are you tired, exhausted, burned out.
Mars manifests in headaches, cuts, bruises, bangs, scrapes. In Taurus, he brings throat issues, thyroid problems, from staying too long in the same place.
Are you furnishing a rut, or refusing to settle and secure your life enough?
Anger Management is under way worldwide under this current transit. Whichever House Mars is moving through in your Birth Chart is an area in need of your attention. Don't overdo it, but don't underdo it either - if you're angry, what are you not getting that you need? What are you not doing that you should be? And where can you learn more patience and practicality?
I hope this period is productive, because it sure as hell doesn't seem to be peaceful. Check your checkbooks, balance your bank accounts and keep a little in reserve. Cautious calculated action beats flying off the handle.
And as I said on air lately, 'Choose Your Battles'. Sometimes you win by refusing to get into it at all. At least there'll be something left to salvage later on. So be wise.
Mars salutes,
Neil
