As one by one the planets turn into a direct flow motion, we can consider what we have learned during the period. Only after the retrograde has completed, can we see where we have been directed to, as alternative to what we had in mind. Venus & Vesta explore the recent Mars Retrograde as Mars turns direct, followed by Mercury turning direct and then Uranus.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mars is stationing at 8 degrees which has been a really important point over the last few years of these retrogrades that are all bonded together. It’s like they’re passing on the baton. Mars is our energy, the bow and arrow that really takes us somewhere, it’s where we have goals and the energy to commit to them, where we have certainty, and where we have real desire. Mars is also the knife that cuts through things. When Mars goes retrograde it’s like somebody has pulled the plug out and we’ve lost that power. Now we’ve come to the end of the retrograde we have to think about how we’ve been de-powered and has that redirected us to somewhere else?
- Mars is about sex too and maybe we have to change our mind about how we feel sexually. We can look at the debate about gender and sexuality and maybe things more positive can move forward once Mars either goes forward but also leaves Gemini entirely. Think about your own sex and sexual desires as something that can bring about sexual chi that you might want to work towards and put in place of your goals.
- If you have planets at 8 degrees, they are going to be triggered by Mars sitting at the 8 degree point in Gemini as Gemini will trine, square or oppose all the other planets. Mars will sit here for three weeks which is plenty of time to really look at what we have learned, take note and reconsider the last three months.
- When Mercury goes direct in Capricorn in January, it will be at 8 degrees as well. The financial systems will continue to be changed away from the FIAT system. There’s a thrust and certainty that comes about this month. If you have any New Years’ Resolutions it’s probably wise to start them after the 22nd of January because of these retrograde planets sitting at 8 degrees.
BEST MOMENTS
"We are three months ahead of all planets in direct motion, which is called APDM. It's something to behold as well as retrogrades which get a bad rep.’
‘Mars is taking away some of President Biden’s thought processes. There is this idea that has been demonstrated repeatedly that he’s in advanced years and dementia is taking over.’
‘Sexual energy is your lifeforce, once we’re engaged in that idea we can put that energy into other things other than the physical act of sex.’
‘Mars in Gemini will allow us to change our minds whether it’s in retrograde or not.’
