You will have the next 80 days to reex\u00adam\u00adine what your aims and inten\u00adtions tru\u00adly are. From where do they come, and where are they tak\u00ading you? It is time to pause and recon\u00adsid\u00ader two points: Is this Goal True for you now? Is this the best path of action to take you&nbsp;there?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Your Avatar of Action, who leads you out\u00adward into the vast\u00adness of your jour\u00adney of dis\u00adcov\u00adery and self-becom\u00ading, the Red Plan\u00adet Mars is turn\u00ading ret\u00adro\u00adgrade and so you must turn too. He will lead you inward now, so that you might come to know and under\u00adstand why you do what you do, why you want to go \u201cthere\u201d, why you act they way that you do, and to help you turn your more lim\u00adit\u00aded ener\u00adgy of Desires into Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>All of the plan\u00adets will turn ret\u00adro\u00adgrade for us here on Earth. Some like Mer\u00adcury will turn every four months, or Venus every year and a half, and all of the oth\u00ader \u201cout\u00ader plan\u00adets\u201d from Jupiter through Plu\u00adto will do so once a year (and they will do so for many months). But Mars is the plan\u00adet that does this less than any oth\u00ader, only every 26 months or so. So this is spe\u00adcial, this is a won\u00adder\u00adful oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty for you to con\u00adsid\u00ader the nature of your Desires, to reex\u00adam\u00adine your Aims and Inten\u00adtions, to see how you \u201cMove\u201d with and by these Ener\u00adgy-Forms through the Sacred Space in which you&nbsp;abide.<\/p>\n<p>Though some might con\u00adsid\u00ader a plan\u00adet to be some\u00adhow \u201cweak\u00adened\u201d by mov\u00ading back\u00adwards, you must remem\u00adber that this is only an appear\u00adance for us here on Earth. In the mat\u00adter of Mars, we on Earth are \u201ccatch\u00ading up\u201d to Mars and pass\u00ading him, as if we were on an inside lane of a race track. He appears to be going back\u00adwards, only because we are catch\u00ading up and pass\u00ading him by. More\u00adover, as we do catch up we make our clos\u00adest approach to Mars as he \u201cgrows\u201d big\u00adger and brighter. Mars, the Avatar of Desires and Actions will shine red\u00adder than ever, and much will be stirred with\u00adin and around you too. You will see Mars at his most glo\u00adri\u00adous, a glow\u00ading crim\u00adson orb, when he forms the oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to the Sun on April 8,&nbsp;2014.<\/p>\n<p>More\u00adover, many have not\u00aded and it will be observed cer\u00adtain\u00adly here at this pas\u00adsage again, that when\u00adev\u00ader Mars turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade the forces of Self-Asser\u00adtion will seem to slip beyond the bounds of cau\u00adtion or self-restraint, and the man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtions of Aggres\u00adsion will be both expressed and encountered\u2026yes, there is \u201cdan\u00adger\u201d in this&nbsp;Air.<\/p>\n<p>But of course the mis\u00aduse of Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Ener\u00adgies is always a prob\u00adlem no mat\u00adter what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading \u201cup there\u201d, but it would seem that this peri\u00adod of Mars Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade stirs more strong\u00adly those depths of the human psy\u00adche where hurts and resent\u00adments have fes\u00adtered, and the result of this stir\u00adring of painful ener\u00adgies inflames pas\u00adsions, stokes fear and anger, and this col\u00adli\u00adsion of pas\u00adsion, pain and anger erupts in actions that harm one\u00adself and others.<\/p>\n<p>The Ener\u00adgies evoked or stoked by Mars are nei\u00adther \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d\u2026rather it is your degree of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal aware\u00adness and evo\u00adlu\u00adtion that will indi\u00adcate how the ener\u00adgy will be received and then how you will pass it on. How you receive the Ener\u00adgies around you, how you work with them, and in what form will you pass them on is deter\u00admined by your Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Inte\u00adgra\u00adtion and Awareness.<\/p>\n<p>To the extent that you have become Self-Mas\u00adter\u00adful, guid\u00aded by your High\u00ader Self and not your Ego, then to that same extent will you be able to wield your Phys\u00adi\u00adcal, Emo\u00adtion\u00adal, Men\u00adtal and Intu\u00adition\u00adal Pow\u00aders in a Lov\u00ading and Con\u00adstruc\u00adtive Man\u00adner. And, to the extent that you remain unin\u00adte\u00adgrat\u00aded, with con\u00adflicts with\u00adin and between your Hier\u00adar\u00adchi\u00adcal Nature of Body, Feel\u00adings, Mind and Spir\u00adit, then to that same extent will you act Destruc\u00adtive\u00adly towards your\u00adself and\/or towards others.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, as always, it comes quite sim\u00adply down to one thing, do you Love Your\u00adself? Do you have and know the Love of your High\u00ader Self as real and ever present and before you at all times, that you stand in its pres\u00adence and this most true love per\u00advades your entire being and all your doing too? It will always be so, and as long as you sojourn here as a human, as long as you strive to become out\u00adward\u00adly what you are in your High\u00ader Self, to be a ful\u00adly awak\u00adened shin\u00ading one, you will con\u00adtin\u00adue on this jour\u00adney to dis\u00adcov\u00ader, accept and embrace your true nature which is Spir\u00adit, which is&nbsp;Love.<\/p>\n<p>So in this pas\u00adsage of Mars Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, you are giv\u00aden anoth\u00ader oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to more deeply pen\u00ade\u00adtrate into the mys\u00adtery of your Desire Body, and to dis\u00adcov\u00ader what lies at the core of your self-pro\u00adpelling urgency to become, as you lift your\u00adself step by step and draw clos\u00ader to your&nbsp;Truth.<\/p>\n<p>Mars is in Libra now, so you path of Soul Search\u00ading will be guid\u00aded and formed by the Sign of Bal\u00adance, Har\u00admo\u00adny and Beauty.<\/p>\n<p>With Mars in Libra, you Desire to be sur\u00adround\u00aded by Grace and Beau\u00adty, and you Aspire to act with Fair\u00adness and Con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion for one anoth\u00ader. But to seek for that Beau\u00adty around you, to even see the beau\u00adty that is there, you must turn around and find the source of your Beau\u00adty that lies with\u00adin you, or it will not be found any\u00adwhere. Mars mov\u00ading back\u00adward in Libra takes you inwards to expe\u00adri\u00adence your Aes\u00adthet\u00adic Heart, where\u00adin the qual\u00adi\u00adty of your palette of col\u00adors, your scale of notes and your tastes in all things of mat\u00adter-form are found. You must ele\u00advate your own beau\u00adty here, with\u00adin your\u00adself, and to love your\u00adself and your sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties in order to see and make your world more beau\u00adti\u00adful&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>Like\u00adwise in your Social Sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties, as you Aspire to live through and by Equal\u00adi\u00adty, Jus\u00adtice and Har\u00admo\u00adny with one oth\u00ader, you must first expe\u00adri\u00adence this Con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of Fair\u00adness with\u00adin. For you can\u00adnot Love anoth\u00ader, and you can\u00adnot receive the Love of anoth\u00ader tru\u00adly, until you have looked with\u00adin your own Lov\u00ading Heart and felt, accept\u00aded and known your own High\u00ader Self. For it is this One with\u00adin who will ever be stead\u00adfast and true, who does and will for\u00adev\u00ader embrace and hold you in your true nature, Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal&nbsp;Love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mars leads you out\u00adwards in your Jour\u00adney to the&nbsp;Stars\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But now he turns and takes you on more Hid\u00adden&nbsp;Paths\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To the Source of Beau\u00adty and&nbsp;Love\u2026<\/p>\n<p>That is there at the Cen\u00adter of One and&nbsp;All.<\/p>\n<p>You will be a Mak\u00ader of Beauty.<\/p>\n<p>You will be a Patri\u00adot for&nbsp;Peace.<\/p>\n<p>You will be a Shin\u00ading&nbsp;Light,<\/p>\n<p>You will Love and be&nbsp;Loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As not\u00aded in the overview for 2014, today marks the begin\u00adning of Mars mov\u00ading ret\u00adro\u00adgrade: Mars Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (March 1 until May&nbsp;19) The Avatar of your Desires is tak\u00ading you upon an inner jour\u00adney.
