The influence of the movement of the planets can be subtle to some, but others can feel a difference with the energy. For myself, I felt a cosmic shift on the 9th that had me scratching my head (tee hee). Mars retrograde started that day, and the challenges of 2020 inched up to a new level of crazy! This one will last through mid-November and carry us through the US election.
Mars has a masculine energy that revolves around taking action, which means frustration, anxiety, anger, and passion might be triggered. The effects of a ‘Mars hibernation’ hitting your energy can make you feel sluggish, unmotivated, and less inclined to charge forward with projects. Some will think What’s the point? in defending ourselves or wasting the energy to prove or do anything. Mars will also provide a cosmic libido-killer while the planet ruling sex drives places our cosmic vehicles in ‘R’ for Reverse. As if most haven’t had enough of this year, we will be pushed to our limit to achieve while handling an internal funk.
Repressed emotions may surface, so it’s time to talk it out while you channel the master inside. This year maintains the pressure of identifying and speaking your needs, establishing priorities, setting goals, and feeling your intentions. There has to be a way to flow with this energy and ride the wave to our advantage! It’s time to flow with a whisper on the current energy patterns and Mars Retrograde.
The stars and planets move in harmony, with each producing a unique vibrational signature. Like a symphony that performs an original score, the planets create a beautiful union of sound and notation. Enthralling and mesmerizing, the synergistic movement strikes deep in the heart of every human as to their role in the Universe orchestra. With no other form of stimulation, and in a moment of stillness, the unfiltered body would feel compelled to move to the music in unison with the celestial movement from above.
Humans search to know their place, while the planets hold their position in the cosmic regions of outer space. The Solar System provides stability as a grounding force forming a bridge from Earth to the heavens. The appearance of a planet moving backwards provides the opportunity for each person to assess their own spiritual path. Enlightenment means shining a light on the truth to know who you are and understand why you are being tested. If you come to a boulder on the path, would you turn around and go back the way you came? Would you find exhilaration in climbing over the hurdle to move forward on your journey?
Finding strength comes from knowing your position in the Universe and making the occasional adjustment to the driving force that compelled you to this moment and this incarnation. Harmony and peace come from balancing the opposing energies that everyone faces in their existence. Freedom is available to those who choose love as their guiding light which moves them through the darkness.
During this Mars Retrograde, a pattern is producing a wave of energy. You can ride that wave to reach new heights in personal development. Allow a space for a soulful recalibration and new momentum toward the aim of the soul to experience love.
Bring joy, ease suffering and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell

it attracts the eye to the shimmering red presence in the clear night sky.” John Noble
