Drink from the Skull of your Enemies

Client quote of the day

‘You know what’s wrong with society today..

No one drinks from the skull of their enemies anymore’.

In light of the recent full moon in Capricorn, I expect such a display would send a definite message of personal and professional BOUNDARIES.

Are your boundaries impermeable, do you Sally forth with the confidence that comes with aforementioned impermeable boundaries? 
Capricorn rules both boundaries and the skeletal structure.

How could you interpret this motif in a modern day setting that in no uncertain terms let’s others know where the line is so they don’t even ‘try it’.

 

THE WAITING ROOM : More on RETROGRADE Motion

SAGITTARIUS, it may not be all systems go just yet but lock n load, your ruler, Jupiter has just gone direct. While Mars is still retro in your sign, dramatic course corrections will continue to take place, go with it. You may feel like your wheels are spinning, but smoke usually preludes a fire so be open to change. Once these two planets go direct you’ll know exactly where to head and what to do.

VIRGO, since Jupiter is in your sign this means there’s some systems that are ready to go now..yet with Action planet Mars and task master Saturn retro in Sag, Squaring your sign, there are still hoops you need to jump through. However, luck is on your side so you’ll notice some positive forward motion in plans that have either been stalling or eluding you. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde, there’s more information that needs to come to light before all roads are clear and you can make a strategic move for the gold.

GEMINI, your ruler Mercury is still retro. Don’t stress out, just send your call into the deep space that is your higher mind and be open to what comes back. You’ll get your answer. Also Mars and Saturn retro in sag are opposing your sign. Once they go direct you’ll spot your direction.

CAPRICORN, your ruler is still retro, so hold on there, keep reviewing, restructuring and rebuilding..tear down what’s not authentic or working and be ready to rebuild an empire that reflects who you really are and what you know you have been put on this earth to craft.

 

BACK IT UP SISTA, BACK, BACK, WAAAY BACK : Mars Retrograde

Mars is Retrograde in Sagittarius, it seems we’ve veered off track. This is your opportunity to go over your maps and goals. Do you need to re-route, take a different approach, direction, path…change your vehicle or just get off the back roads and hit the highway?
Perhaps you need to renew/update your license to drive your personal vehicle through life (YOU), since Sagittarius rules education, philosophy and the higher mind, do you need to study, change your study track, time to teach, or revisit some outdated life philosophy?

Passport out of date? Get onto it. What do you need to do to get you from No to GO?
Mars is our action principle, and during retrogrades we reassess as well as find new information can come to light, or we get the aha on which road to take.
Since Mars is our action principle, and Sag is a fire sign, you could experience a lowering of energy, the fire burning low..not the best for racing ahead, use the inversion of energy to cover internal ground instead.

 Allow your energy levels to restore while you rest physically, ready to cover ground at the pace of 1000 brumbies when Mars is unleashed in forward motion.

The retrograde takes us right back through Sagittarius into Scorpio. Check out the articles I’ve already posted on each to see what areas will benefit from a reassessment.

Bringing Sexy Back : Mars in Scorpio

• Jan 4 – Aug 2nd 2016

The Planet Mars indicates how we get things done, the sign it’s in indicates the flavour, quality, style of that action and energy.

Scorpio Style is do or die, forward thrusting, and often in the shadows and byways, hidden from view. Occult energy can be utilised at this time, think spells, incantations, Magical arts. Put your emotional energy into it and you’ll find this can be a period of personal power in terms of ambition and manifestation.
Transformative action, is a key phrase, the shadow of course is a death wish, destruction and the occassional stalking.

So be mindful, conscious of how you’re using your energy, and what you’re working toward.

Mars is in each sign every 2 years. This trip through Scorpio is set to be intense as Mars will enter Sagittarius then retrograde back through Scorpio, finally leaving on August 2nd.

This means you better have a great action plan, then be prepared to review and course correct at the retrograde. Scorpio Mars gets things done. Keep your eye on the prize and you have a great chance of achieving. So make sure it’s what you really want, and truly in your best interests.

Your natal chart indicates the area of life you are most likely to experience the power of this Mars in Scorpio Sojourn, and of course how best to direct it….To GET WHAT YOU WANT.

 

Mars in VIRGO…239 days

The Economy of Chi

Mars has been sweeping through Virgo like a one-woman army since 19th Nov 2011, continuing to spray and wipe right through to July 3rd 2012.  That’s nearly 8 months to clean up any mess or re-route, re-group and re-calibrate your energies, direction or plans.  Much of this time will be spent in a retrograde motion, which only occurs approx every two years.    When Mars goes retrograde it turns the Mars action principle inward..or, like an army having to retreat, logistics, diagnostics, and planning become important tools.

In your own life, this means you’ll be having to backtrack, retreat, and review your direction.  Mars is the Field Marshal to your Sun.  It’s how you get your ego out there to express and meet the desires of your Sun.  With the recent Full Moon in Virgo conjunct this retrograde mars, tensions may have flared and swords unsheathed.  Take a look at what you may have already cut loose or shelved for review.  This is a long transit , keeping within the borders of Virgo for the entire journey.  We’ll have plenty of time to clean up after ourselves and make sure we have sorted out the details of what we want to do, and how we are going to do it. 

“Nature abhors a vacuum and so do I” …Anne Gibbons

The economy of chi – Virgo is both organized and efficient, in what ways could you be more efficient and more effective with your energy?  What shape is your eco-rating on your own body and life?  Are you in the green, or are you living in the acid red?  Reviewing habits that affect our energy and health will come under fire.  This is a fantastic time to take no prisoners and cut loose any bad habits…can a new routine to replace them? If so what?  HOW are you going to get the info you need and DO…What sort of health organizations or professionals are out there that could help?  This is the master cleanse, the 12 step programs, the Ayurveda 5 week retreats…Yoga  retreats…walking/cycling to work every morning…Think complete body overhaul and you’ll have yourself on the road to sparkling by July!

Your Personal Birth Chart – The area of your life being transited by Virgo Mars will be under review.  Also any important aspects Mars makes to planets or angles in your birth chart will affect you more.   Any one with personal planets (The Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury or Mars ) in Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius will feel this one the most.  Where in your life are you assessing and restructuring for more economy and efficiency?
