NOW: Mars in Retrograde – Your Survival Guide

“Mars is the force which propels the seed to germinate.” Dane Rudhyar In December 2013, Mars entered the sign of Libra where it remains until the end of July 2014. coque iphone soldes Normally Mars resides in a sign 45 days, so this is an extended length of time. Within that time frame, between March 1, 2014 and May 19, 2014, Mars will be retrograde. Mars has been described as the energizer, the challenger, and the cosmic trigger. It is an outreaching dynamic, action oriented, providing the drive to progress and achieve; not an inward energy. Mars can be both courageous and contentious. It represents anger and passion, and so can rage and battle, or it can assert and direct in a manner that supports advancement. Like fire, be cautious in the manner you express your Mars; it can provide sustenance and light or it can burn and blacken. In retrograde, Mars may be frustrating. Strategies or plans may not advance quickly or smoothly, and action to implement may not be smooth, so patience is required. It may take time for plans and projects to manifest; results may not be immediate. coque iphone pas cher Often there are many course corrections, and periods of waiting. To learn where Mars is asking for your personal focus, look to your Ascendant. coque iphone Remember this is general information, and the specifics of your personal natal chart may alter the interpretation. Mars in 1, Libra Ascendant: Impetus to assert and stand up for oneself. This is a great time to work on your image. What needs to be changed to foster success? Have the courage to make those changes after the retrograde period when you should have the drive and energy to do so. During the retrograde period be patient with your progress. Mars in 2, Virgo Ascendant: During the retrograde focus on plans to develop and expand your financial opportunities. A reevaluation of how you manifest, as well as the use of your financial resources, is called for. Although your ambition is ignited, you might want to take action and initiative to move forward after the retrograde when results come more easily. Mars in 3, Leo Ascendant: During the retrograde period be mindful of how you communicate. Be courageous, not impulsive or argumentative. If contracts must be signed during the retrograde, take care that you are completely clear regarding those documents. You may have some difficulty making decisions about how you want to implement ideas and plans; after the retrograde you may be clearer and implementation might be smoother. coque iphone 8 Mars in 4, Cancer Ascendant: After the retrograde is a positive time to undertake projects at home. If you have wanted to move it’s a good time to pursue that. During the retrograde period projects at home may need to be reworked, or a choice to move may be reconsidered. A parent may need more attention than usual, or time between home and career needs adjustment. Mars in 5, Gemini Ascendant: During the retrograde period creative types may feel stagnant, blocked, or out of the flow. Once Mars goes direct creativity is newly ignited, especially for artists. And during the retrograde children may be more demanding. Also be mindful with gambling or risky undertakings. My advice to workaholic types: take some time to play. Mars in 6, Taurus Ascendant: Once the retrograde period is over a great deal of energy will be career focused. During the retrograde the organizational side of work may be frustrating and draining. At this time you will need to work for what you receive, and you might adjust expectations temporarily. Focus on organizing to improve productivity. If you are an employer you may have issues with employees. Mars in 7, Aries Ascendant: Expect disagreements with your partner during the retrograde period, or there may be legal concerns to attend to in business. A balance between the needs of the partnership and self come into focus. One might wait until after the retrograde to make decisions regarding partnership. After the retrograde period relationships issues may resolve, and focus on partnership issues should bring positive results. Mars in 8, Pisces Ascendant: During Mars in Libra be pristine with all shared monies, taxes, loans, ect. If there are any outstanding issues over shared accounts, now is the time to tie up loose ends. Taxes loans, and monies shared require attention. coque iphone 2019 pas cher Be conservative, not risky, in sexual areas. Promises for loans or funding may fall through temporarily during the retrograde. Mars in 9, Aquarius Ascendant: During Mars in Libra travelling long distance for vacation or adventure is usually welcomed. At the same time business travel involving a foreign opportunity may present itself. However, during the retrograde period there may be glitches in travel plans and opportunities from a long distance. Mars in 10, Capricorn Ascendant: Renewed ambition and drive to push in career areas. New opportunities for leadership may be pursued, and ambition and energy is directed towards distinguishing one in career. coque iphone soldes Calm the tendency to steam roll over others. Results to move forward may be delayed or unsupported until Mars goes direct. Choose your battles wisely. Mars in 11, Sagittarius Ascendant: Mars supports active participation with friends, groups, and organizations. You may be involved in standing up for a friend, or you may find that during this time issues with friends arise. If you are at odds with a friend, you might make more progress if you wait until after the retrograde to resolve the matter. Mars in 12, Scorpio Ascendant: This is where we block or bottle up the energy of Mars. Mars is undercover in the 12th house, so the work for you with this transit is to confront any emotions that you disown, so they can find a healthy expression. coque iphone Under the retrograde you may explore wounds of the past with the goal to heal.

Moon Voids – What Are They?

MOON VOIDS by Sara E. coque iphone 8 Morrow We all know the legends about werewolves howling on the full moon. Yet, little is known of the metaphysical side of the journey that takes the moon around the earth approximately every 27 days that affects our lives, daily. In its orbit, the moon visits a different zodiac sign approximately every 2½ days. But it’s not always a smooth, even transition between them and there are times when the moon is not within a zodiac’s parameters, therefore it’s said to be in a ‘void’ period. Now consider our lives like a book, the narrator and writer being the moon. Each zodiac sign is like a chapter the moon moves through, telling the story as we go along. Like each new chapter, and story, our life changes with the moon’s journey along with the events and emotions involved. coque iphone 2019 We’re not always consciously aware of these changes, as the moon is connected to our subconscious, which feels the shift. As the moon moves through the zodiac it also makes contact with the planets. These planets inform us of how our story will play out, emotionally and physically. There is always a pause at the end of the story. When the moon is in that phase, we call it a moon void. Understanding the ‘Void’ During this period, often we feel disconnected. Unforeseen, surprising results can arise. Avoid being involved in concerns beyond your spiritual center. coque iphone x Delays and frustration are common. ‘Voids’ are created because these lunar ‘chapters’ aren’t the same length. Some take the whole 2 ½ days, but others are much shorter. The void is thought of as the last moment it makes contact in a sign until the next moment it makes contact in the new sign. An easy way to understand it is: Let’s say the moon is in Virgo from Monday at 12 PM until it leaves Virgo Wednesday at 12 PM, on its way to Libra. But it won’t officially reach Libra until Thursday at 12 AM. Technically, the moon is “in void” for that 12 hours. There’s no complete and undisputable reason for such pauses on the moon’s journey. We can theorize all we want — maybe the next chapter will be intense and we need prep time? Maybe we need time to reflect on the last? Regardless, the moon takes her sweet time in travel and we’re along for the ride. Navigating the ‘Void’ We have learned the void of course period is when the moon is between two signs. But it’s not in some black hole or nowhere to be found. It’s always in flux between one sign or another but before it officially crosses paths with its impending new planet, there’s a period where things can get energetically out of whack. coque iphone 6 It’s important to remember moon voids when making big decisions and considering life’s big questions you may want answered in a certain way. coque iphone pas cher When the moon is in void – the answer to your question is that nothing is going to happen. coque iphone xs max For example, if a person asked – am I going to get that job? The answer would be, likely not because nothing is going to happen. But if it was more – am I going to get fired? Then, the answer of nothing will happen is perceived as a better option. The key – keep in mind the phrase or notion – nothing is going to happen — and use it to your desired outcome. Things suggested to avoid: signing contracts, close a deal, start a project, or anything else you want concrete results from, as they will be plagued with problems. But – if you want to drop some bad news, fewer repercussions will follow. ‘How To’ Guide For most of us, to have the know how, the time and the data to track moon voids is nearly impossible.

Super Full Moon with Retrograde Mercury and Neptune

By: Rahelio, June 18, 2014 at 10:44am I thought i would repost this article and make it a Note so it can be more easilly accessed as it’s implications are reverberating through this Mercury retrograde period. It’s full moon tonight (June 12th) and this one is called a Honey Moon because of its color. This one is also a super moon which means the moon is making a perigee or close approach to the earth, and therefore its appearance is larger when rising or setting, and its influence has a stronger affect on the oceans tides. It can also create extreme weather conditions and have a strong affect on the emotional reactions of people and circumstances over the next few weeks. On June 7th Mercury turned retrograde at 3 degrees of the sign Cancer while making a hard aspect to the planet Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn is a somber influence so creates a serious turn of mind. Decisions have or will be made to put things in proper order. This can bring up difficult realizations regarding what needs to be let go of or be redefined to support the needs of the moment. coque iphone Mercury will remain in retrograde motion until the 1st of July. Mercury in Cancer relates to personal / emotional needs, and issues linked to one’s home, family and security come to the forefront. For some this can be just the need to rearrange furniture or take care of necessary maintenance around the house and yard and tying up loose ends for whatever needs to come to completion. Since Mercury rules Gemini communication issues will require thoughtful reconsiderations as misspoken words or thoughts can create unnecessary complications, misunderstandings or separations. It is important to be clear with what decisions are being made at this time as unforeseen circumstances may require a change in plans. This is not a good time to make legal commitments, sign contracts or start a new business as positive momentum will be lacking. coque iphone 2019 pas cher It is a good time to lay the ground work and catch up with things you have been meaning to do. So Neptune has also turned retrograde on the 9th of June giving an added emphasis to Mercury’s turn of direction. Neptune’s influence can relate to our dreams and inspiration, and can connect us to our faith in the spiritual. But it can also be seen in how we can become disillusioned when we have unreal expectations for things that are out of reach and based on wishful thinking. This can be a real issue for those who suffer from depression or are facing challenging circumstances. These retrograde influences can make us reconsider what our priorities are and get real with what are the facts defining our reality at this time. Especially since Venus, goddess of love, is in direct opposition to Saturn at this time. Quite often work priorities and responsibilities or dissatisfaction with how things have been going can take center stage as Venus love of pleasure has to find practical expression for her to be in harmony with her relations. coque iphone soldes This can be a time of separation for some or a need to redefine the rules of engagement to allow for harmony and love to flow. And with Mars involved in the past grand cross planetary pattern and recent eclipses its turning direct has been quite a trigger for change and challenges as the aggressive energy that comes with it has brought up hostilities and possibilities for war in to many places for me to mention. soldes coque iphone pas cher Mars also completed its square aspect with Pluto on June 14th which adds to the impact of this full moon and greater disruption for those living in places of hostility like whats happening in Iraq. The direct motion of Mars on May 20th also corresponded with the fire for us here in Sedona. On the 25th of June Mars will come into opposition to Uranus with this aspect being a trigger of the before mentioned grand cross and eclipse energies. This is also a very volatile combination as Uranus energy is like the lightning bolt, it brings awakening and excitement but can burn your house down or bring with it accidents and reckless behavior. Uranus as ruler of Aquarius is a revolutionary energy. vente de coque iphone It is a quickening energy for all that is new and brings forth the potential for enlightenment and liberation from limiting conditions. Its a good time to focus on inner peace and find harmonious creative outlets for this unpredictable and volatile energy. This time calls for us to be strong, and do what we need to do in order to be happy and live the life we choose. coque iphone 6 It’s just important to handle the energy of these Mars to Pluto and Uranus hard aspects with care so as to use this energy constructively to recreate and regenerate ourselves and our reality in a good way. So this is another reminder to follow your heart and put your life in order as the Sagittarius full moon invites us to expand our view on life and see the possibilities ahead of us if we first lay the groundwork to allow it to be made manifest. Sagitarrius as a fire sign brings creativity and a need for freedom of expression. It reminds us not to over-extend ourselves in impractical optimism but to intuit what is right for us and know what can lead to greater opportunities inspite of the retrograde Mercury. And the ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter also in the sign of Cancer, so focus on what supports your home, family and community; and issues around security. This is where support can come or where one needs to focused if you are feeling vulnerable or your home and family life is in upheaval. The influence of a full moon is usually about 2 weeks but with all that comes with this one the ongoing implications may be long lasting… May you ride this wave in beauty… and in harmony and balance with all your relations…

What is a Retrograde Planet?

When a planet is said to be in retrograde that planet is not technically moving backwards, it only appears, from our perspective and view, to be doing so. coque iphone x The influence of the retrograde planet operates more predominately at an inner level, rather than an outer level, more yin than yang in application. The gift of the retrograde is creative and contemplative, not action oriented. It is characterized by a slowing down in progress as well as delays. coque iphone Projects do not have to be suspended or abandoned, at the same time, patience is required as they may not meet goals and expectations as quickly as planned, and glitches may sidetrack the most well thought through strategies. The opportunity of a retrograde is the use of this time to adjust expectations, assess goals, invest time in revisiting, revising, reevaluating, researching and reconsidering new approaches. coque iphone 6 Rather acting on ideas, use creative approaches to fine tune your plans, and reconsider what you may have discarded. coque iphone It’s a time to take a second look. coque iphone 8 It is not a favorable time to sign new contracts, launch new projects, or enter into new agreements. vente de coque iphone Although retrogrades test our patience they also offer the gifts of second chances, and finding a better way.

Decoding Solar Returns – Cathryn Hunter

JKP_1281smThe collective’s New Year is an ideal time to discuss the Solar Return, or one’s personal New Year; the day the Sun returns to the original degree and minute of one’s birth. It can be the day before one’s birthday, the day of, or the day after. This is your true personal New Year. Liz Greene, Jungian Psychologist and Astrologer, refers to the Solar Return as a powerful energy impulse into our personal chart, “Today is the day of new beginnings, and the influences will be in effect for the entire year to come.” It is said that 88% if all New Year’s resolutions fail. From my perspective it is due to the fact that on this day, there is no particular individual solar support that impacts one’s particular chart (unless you are born January1). With that in mind, the most effective time to set intentions or make resolutions, would be on your birthday, the day of your Solar Return, your true New Year, when you have energetic assistance helping you co create your year ahead. So, every year, on or near your birthday, you experience a Solar Return, which activates a chart that holds influence for a year. Keep in mind, your SR chart will change by where you are geographically at that time; just as two people born at the same day and time, yet in different places, will have entirely different charts. I view the SR chart as a thread in your astrological tapestry. The foundational thread is the chart you were born with, which represents your patterns, talents, potentials. As time goes on the threads of the transits, progressions, eclipses, and planetary returns, are woven into your fabric. So although the SR is weighty, it is a part of the whole. While the influence of the SR is pivotal, one must be mindful of an attitude of reductionism, which is, isolating the power of the SR, and not honoring the entire astrological terrain. My position is one of inclusivity, that is, all astrological dynamics are factors in what unfolds in your year. Consider the image of a scale as our astrological terrain. Imagine the scale tipping to one side in challenging cycles. The SR can be a tool in bringing the scale back to balance, or even tip it to the positive side, giving welcomed support through these challenges. By traveling to a destination that is supportive astrologically for your SR birthday New Year, you utilize a tool that can contribute to a helpful influence for the year. Whether or not one stays home or takes a SR trip, the most successful Solar Returns are the ones where one is an active participant with the energy of the chart. It is said that there is relationship between inner and outer, what is “in here is out there”, in other words, within us we create our outer world. The SR is more than a symbol of planets arranged in certain order. To realize the potential of a SR, the goal should be work with its possibilities, and throughout the year consistently attune to the energy and give attention to the opportunity reflected by the chart of the Solar Return; in doing so work toward, realize, and create the goal in your outer world. Consider the Solar Return a planetary MAP that when one participates, takes the road created, increases the power of the return. soldes coque iphone Solar Return trips are not for magical thinkers or those looking for an easy way to reach a certain end. coque iphone pas cher For instance, no Solar Return will improve one’s health if one doesn’t follow through with good health habits. coque iphone en ligne No Solar Return will offset one’s negative patterns and self defeating ways which operate to hold one back. No Solar Return will function against the themes in the natal chart. coque iphone xs max For instance, if a natal chart does not hold the promise of fame, no Solar Return will be able to deliver that. Those of us who do SR will still experience the challenges of life. In my regular sessions, based on where you tell me you were at that time, I will comment on your SR, along with other astrological factors, as a part of your session. coque iphone Additionally, I have clients who ask me to find a birthday SR destination ahead of time, which creates a supportive SR chart for the upcoming year. (This is separate from regular sessions.) If one cannot travel for ones SR, one should always be mindful of the time of your Solar Return. coque iphone 2019 pas cher In my Yearly Forecast Sessions, whether or not you ask me to find a Solar Return destination for you, I will always give you your Solar Return day and time for the place you plan to be. This time is wisely used in the same rituals that are regularly performed at the collective New Year, that is, meditation, journaling, goal setting, and visualizing what you desire to accomplish.
