| Today Mars stationed retrograde. Over the next 2 months, until it stations direct on November 13th, we will become intimately aware of the gifts and challenges of our Mars issues. Personally and collectively.
A Mars retrograde is typically a time where heated exchanges become more dominant, the impact of the harm we've experienced and that we perpetuate more evident, and the divisions between us much harder to ignore.
Mars is always here to remind us just how much power we do have; when and where we let bitterness, envy, or hatred poison our interactions; how we might learn to work through conflict without betraying our dignity; and how to stay in the battles that cry out for us to join. Mars is sharp – we can either use it to help us hone our skills or do damage. To use these tools wisely takes work, but you are ready.
Pay attention to what comes up for you regarding these themes. Consider what you'd like to learn about yourself through this retrograde and set an intention to do so. Watch what makes your blood boil, what makes you want to take shortcuts, and watch yourself when you want to take on extra projects. One thing that we can bet on is that, during this retrograde cycle, we will have less time than we thought or less understanding of the work involved. Be specific, be strategic, and be as kind to yourself as possible when mapping out the next couple of months.
