Mars: Retrograde\/June 26th<\/sup>, Opposition\/July 26\u201327th<\/sup>, Direct\/August 27th<\/sup> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Where\u00adas Mer\u00adcury moves ret\u00adro\u00adgrade 3 times a year for about 23 days each time, and Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrades about every 1.5 years for about 40 days, Mars will move ret\u00adro\u00adgrade about every 2 years and 2 months, and this time it will do so for 62 days. It is the plan\u00adet that goes ret\u00adro\u00adgrade the least, so you should always take advan\u00adtage of this opportunity.<\/p>\n

When\u00adev\u00ader a plan\u00adet is mov\u00ading ret\u00adro\u00adgrade it is actu\u00adal\u00adly mov\u00ading clos\u00ader to the Earth; Mars and Earth will be clos\u00ader to one anoth\u00ader than at any time when we reach the mid\u00adpoint of the ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, when Mars is Oppo\u00adsite the Sun, with the Earth between the Sun and Mars. This time that will occur on July 26\u201327th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

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, it is we on Earth who are \u201ccatch\u00ading up\u201d to Mars and pass\u00ading by, as if we were on an inside lane of a race track. More\u00adover, as we do catch up we make our clos\u00adest approach to Mars as it \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 most lumi\u00adnous, a glow\u00ading crim\u00adson orb, when it forms the oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to the Sun at the end of July.<\/p>\n

Mars rules your actions and desires, it serves your \u201cself\u201d (the Sun) by pro\u00advid\u00ading the dri\u00adve to secure your needs and wants. But when it turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade it sig\u00adnals a time for you to turn inward. Mars ret\u00adro\u00adgrade offers you the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to re-exam\u00adine what exact\u00adly it is that you do desire, and, just as impor\u00adtant\u00adly, it calls upon you to re-con\u00adsid\u00ader how you should secure it.<\/p>\n

This time Mars is ret\u00adro\u00adgrad\u00ading through Aquar\u00adius until August 12th<\/sup>, and then con\u00adtin\u00adues to ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in Capri\u00adcorn until it turns direct on August 27th<\/sup>, so the review of your desires and aims will be upon your dreams of a bet\u00adter world to be made true, and then shift to con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions about your path of self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment and your respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties. It will prin\u00adci\u00adpal\u00adly bring a re-exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion of your friend\u00adships and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties, and it will remind you that your dreams are made of one anoth\u00ader, and you can only be ful\u00adfilled if their dreams come true too.<\/p>\n

Many observers have not\u00aded that when\u00adev\u00ader Mars turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade the forces of Self-Asser\u00adtion seem to slip beyond the nor\u00adma\u00adtive bounds of cau\u00adtion or self-restraint, and we find increas\u00ading man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtions of aggres\u00adsion and even violence\u2026yes, there is real \u201cdan\u00adger\u201d here.<\/p>\n

The mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading and 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 the time of Mars Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade stirs more strong\u00adly the shad\u00adowed 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\u00adsion, stokes fear and anger, and this col\u00adli\u00adsion of pas\u00adsion, pain and anger erupts in actions that can lead to the harm\u00ading of one\u00adself or of others.<\/p>\n

Always remem\u00adber, 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 equal\u00adly depends upon your own spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal devel\u00adop\u00adment and self-con\u00adtrol. 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

To the extent that you have become more 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 oth\u00aders. This is true always.<\/p>\n

This is why Mars mov\u00ading ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is such an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty for spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal quick\u00aden\u00ading. What Mars ret\u00adro\u00adgrade can and should be used for is to take this time and use it to pierce through those self-made shad\u00adows of old fears and hurts. You can trans\u00adform your\u00adself and your world by over-turn\u00ading lim\u00adit\u00aded fear-formed desires, trans\u00adform\u00ading those mis\u00addi\u00adrect\u00aded ener\u00adgies into aspi\u00adra\u00adtions. Mars ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is tru\u00adly a time to stir your awak\u00aden\u00ading, as you con\u00adtin\u00adue on the one true path of greater mind\u00adful\u00adness, uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal love and a cen\u00adtered will.<\/p>\n

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? Do you stand in its pres\u00adence, so that this eter\u00adnal foun\u00adtain-source of love per\u00advades your entire being and all of your actions too? And, from this expe\u00adri\u00adence of your true self you will equal\u00adly know that you are to treat the oth\u00ader before you as you treat your\u00adself, with uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal love too.<\/p>\n

Mars is the part of your jour\u00adney informed by your Desire. You are always on the path of awak\u00aden\u00ading, of learn\u00ading to become a bet\u00adter or more com\u00adplete human. Yes, as long as you strive to become out\u00adward\u00adly what you are in your High\u00ader Self, to be ful\u00adly awak\u00adened, to become a Deva or 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 Love.<\/p>\n

As Mars grows brighter, night after night, as you move towards that moment of greater rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtion, take time to re-con\u00adsid\u00ader where you are going and how you are get\u00adting there. Look more deeply with\u00adin your\u00adself and ask:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Is this what I should aim for, is this the way to move my dreams and the dreams of oth\u00aders clos\u00ader to the One Uni\u00adver\u00adsal dream? Is this the noble path forged and formed by uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love and Truth? Is this the way we will enter with song and laugh\u00adter, to become that shin\u00ading city on the hill?\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, as it was at the beginning,<\/p>\n

We are here to be the Light,<\/p>\n

We are here because of Love.<\/p>\n

Just Love one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
