Mars at 29 Scorpio

Mars at 29 Scorpio

Cliche as it may be, it really is "darkest before dawn". 

The fact we are guaranteed a sunrise each day, is evidence enough that

 the Light always returns. 

Fear made a comeback in all our lives under this transit job 

and we've had our work cut out kicking it in its @$$! 

New Beginnings are just a mindset away...but...often mixed up in the 

messy business of 'endings'. Can you have one without other? 

Something is undeniably over or gone, while in other areas, 

situations or people are simply (or not so simply) going through intense rebirths 

along altered paths forever changed. 

It's all Hard Work, but something great is about to come from what seemed so terrible. 

No one gets left out, no one is forgotten. 

Hang in there as we squeeze through the bottleneck 

into the greater freedom of Mars entering worldly Sagittarius 

on August 2nd...

Keep Pushing Through: Virgo New Moon & Mars/Saturn in Scorpio

A New Moon in Virgo and Mars/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio?

Hmm, I smell something in the air. It's beginning to reek? You've noticed too, of course.
Something needs to be fixed and something must change for good (or for evil, but we'll get to that...).

Virgo New Moon opens a window where any problem revealed can at least be tackled.
You either sit and groan about the errors and mistakes or you make a plan and set about trying to do something about it.

Under Virgo New Moons we all renew our dedication to our health, the welling being of plants, pets and our surroundings. Which means most people reading this will feel some amount of guilt at not taking care of themselves as well as they should. But even those who have lost touch with their inner healthy-mother, have another chance. The Virgo New Moon. Thank goodness. We also see what needs to be improved, and what new projects and plans we need to initiation (New Moon) and implement (Virgo).  We first see all of this through the lens of what is not is working. That's where we:

Throw in a Mars/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio of all signs!  Together with the Virgo Moon we have a team up between Cycle 6 (Virgo) and Cycle 8 (Scorpio). If you have my book (Page 303), you'll find in the back the list of cycle combos (if you don't you can check them out free!). These are the keywords to describe the flavor of Cycle 6/Cycle 8 and thus these current times to you:

                SURGERY, 
                                                      SEXUAL HEALTH, 
          QUITTING BAD HABIT,                                        HEALTH OBSESSION

                                      HELPER/HEALER
  MINIMALIST, 
                                     
                                  CUT AND DRIED, 
                                                                                 THE BOTTOM LINE.


Doesn't sound fun but sounds "necessary". Yuk.

We can get to the bottom line or we may have to hit rock bottom to have any solid serious, sober and REAL ground (Saturn) to build on. Reality is a great awakener. When you get down to the roots, you can see what's there (Mars/Saturn). Enough Nutrition, or creepy crawlies or viruses feeding on you?

The New Moon in Virgo is the earth-builder helper who knows which seeds to plant and which weeds to pull. If,...you Trust your inner Technician, Farmer, Critic and Boss. But beware. And be aware of and wary of anger, fears and mental phantom testing you. Remember that 'evil' I told you about earlier? Some characters DO turn evil. Is this the great "pole divide" we've been hearing about since way back? A parting of the ways? In the movie of your life then, and for the next few weeks especially, simply be alert and aware to enemies posing as friends and people hiding a real ugly truth behind a truly alluring lie.

Be Smart (Virgo-style - in other words discriminating)

Fix, Change, Develop, Create, Let Go, Transform!
 At random moments. At any time. In any order.

P.S HP got me back my laptop after 3 weeks AWOL for a 3 day repair. They messed up the warranty and now tell me I am stuck without one. Nothing I can do (Mars/Saturn). Even though there was nothing wrong with it, the Hard Drive was taken (Pluto at his best) so I am in the process of again rebuilding the store, reports etc so I can send out orders. I'm behind. As you know. Bear with me, I'm doing the best I can. I do believe in evil now. There are forces that threaten to thwart our plans. Sometimes those forces can be people. Companies. (Pluto is in Capricorn, after all). If you find it hard to trust, under this Virgo/Scorpio vibe, be trustworthy. That's one magic wand guaranteed to create some type of magic. It always does. 

I finally got the Scorpio Rising message this week (as Mars meets Saturn one degree from my Ascendant). That life can send its thunderbolts (I have Uranus Rising in Scorpio so take your best shot!) but rebirth is inevitable. It is unstoppable. It is the human spirit itself. Even after those moments of curling up in its closet and just crying.

Did you feel the shift as MARS moved Direct this past couple days? Frustration, Anger, Irritability, Impatience, Pushiness, Pissy Moods, Physical Accidents, (Passive?) Aggressiveness....giving way to....Decisive Action, Efforts to Compromise, Relationship Boundaries and Mutual Respect. Well...Give it time. The energy is back to BRING BEAUTY, HARMONY AND PEACE to your corner of the world by DOING something about it, yet (paradoxically and perhaps quite rightly so) getting ANGRY (Mars) when things aren't FAIR (Libra)...

Is it worth fighting? Mars square the Lunar Nodes

Working on this week's horoscopes, I couldn't help but be struck the obvious current manifestations of this weeks' upcoming energy-signature above us: Mars in Leo square the South and North nodes (whick peaks by Thurday, September 12th - a day before Friday the 13th no less.

The question of whether to get involved in a war against Syria or not?

President Obama is going to give an address and push for the United States to Yes, Get Involved whilst it appears most of the country feels we should 'No, Stay Out of It'.

That's always the question when Mars is square the lunar nodes: 'do you or do you not?'
 We can evolve with the expression of the planet or devolve. Here our karma is based on our Actions and our levels of Aggression/Assertion - typical Mars territory.

Mars in Leo is great for bold actions but has one fatal flaw as it sits between the nodes: Pride. Coupled with the planet of testosterone, if you offend, upset or hurt my feelings, I'll attack.

The whole world is currently reflecting this tight balance: from the battles in your head and living room/bed room to what we see playing out before us on the global screen.

The North Node in Scorpio represents many deaths during our passage through it - but theoretically the death of that which is no longer needed. Whether we beg to differ with this or not, what is alive is alive and what is not alive is dead and gone. Or is it? Scorpio, after all is a deep and dark sign, where we can never quite tell where the bottom lies, if ever there is one. Think Loch Ness (fixed water). Perhaps life does go on, and sometimes things can come back again. And gain is so often found through the death transition.

Whether we choose it or not, death/loss is our path for a while longer. Throw in Mars and it's like a child with a grenade. In Leo, piss off our prideful inner boy or girl and you may get badly hurt.  And as the media is found of showing for maximum manipulative Neptune-in-Pisces fashion, the photos of the bodies of wounded children (Mars in Leo) seems sadly but celestially symbolic.

You have an inner child just like everyone else. It gets hurt sometimes. It often didn't get what it wanted. And it likes getting its own way. But it has to play fair with the other kids in the playground and your way is not the only way. Getting your way isn't always possible - or advised. And like fighting fire with fire, war creates only more war.

Once you use Mars, Mars often ends up using you.

A message to the world: 

Only the insecure feel offense 

or the need to defend themselves.

Get Creative. Go enjoy some attention from another human being. Preen yourself in the mirror. Sing in the shower. There are many uses for Mars in Leo. Having fun is one of them, not getting offended about what other people are doing or not doing. Egos are silly creatures. No one writes the rules. We're all writing them together.
