Regeneration & Change: Mars goes Direct 13 April

Mars goes Direct

03 Degrees Virgo
13 April
11:53pm EDT
You probably are reading this, planetary follower and letting out a BIG YAHOO!!!! Most people in awareness of our Pioneer planet being Retrograde since 23 January -requesting us to Stand in Our Courage– are more than ready to see Direct Motion return to the celestial body from above that motivates and shakes our worlds up with direct action down here below.

Aside from the promise that action will be able to move forward ultimately from where 03 degrees Virgo rests in your Zodiac Pie, the recent requests of Mars for review equally hope you have now arrived at definite conclusions about the necessary changes that are meant to unfold after this seemingly ridiculously long passage of reflection.  Albeit, wouldn’t you know, our calendar date that just catches our Pioneer returning Direct Motion is in full and equal agreement to let it all go.

13 April 2012, numerically, by both the Karmic Path date (13) and Universal date energy (4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 13), both grant us the understanding of the 13’s ‘Regeneration and Change.’ A sort of cosmic “double whammy” of really noting what the Chaldeans saw this more often than not “feared” number, and please do cast off yours about it falling on a Friday this year, btw. (simply a silly superstition) If one is to truly embrace the magnificence of the 13, there is such profound insight to behold:

“13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that “he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion.” The symbol of the 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe, reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for the negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.”

Now, with any 4 vibration, (1 + 3 = 4) we also know that Uranus is involved in the planetary mix. Hence the warning about the unknown and the unexpected, something this planet is all too famous for bringing to us to experience down here below. So, whatever unfolds upon 13 April 2012, you can be sure there are some surprises not even the best psychic could predict. Uranus just ain’t a fan of pre-telling how it will all fall out. Prophetic about the energy yes, details no.

So, as Mars will go Direct quite late in the day 13 April, take up with that same old courage you’ve been relying on since the end of January within this area of your Zodiac Pie. Remember too, Mars, like Mercury when coming off Retrograde, is going slllloooow,  otherwise known as the station. Mars doesn’t reach 04 degrees Virgo until 21 April. Once he gets going, he’ll be back to his usual 2-3 day passes through one degree, not to finish up the shadow of this recent Retrograde until 19 June- finally moving into Libra 03 July, concluding his extra long stay Virgo since 10 November 2011.

Happy Regenerating, Change and Motivations to You Dear Stars.

Standing in Your Courage: Mars Retrograde 23 Jan to 13 April

Courage. If your are a fan of the Cowardly Lion from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ there is a plenty you can reap in reward from listening to his advice over the next couple months as our planet of drive and action takes a break, and asks us all for reflection in The Virgin.

Mars has been journeying within Virgo since 10 November 2011. Perhaps, you’ve taken note of the sense of excitability emerging within this area of your Zodiac Pie. Our Pioneer planet does not hold back in the dynamic action that is moving energy here in all kinds of ways. As much as Mars loves to get things going, he equally draws forth conclusions to arrive down here below from wherever he is traveling within our celestial skies above, and sometimes, these are delivered in abrupt and rash ways.

As Mars reached 23 degrees Virgo on 19 January, his station occurred as he prepares for Retrograde motion on 23 January. Mars won’t move back to the 22nd degree of Virgo until 27 January, then his backwards journey will take him to 03 degrees Virgo. Here, he will station once more at 03 degrees Virgo on 07 April before going Direct 13 April. When any planet is within the station surrounding retrograde activity, it can bring on some intense energies down here below.

This entire passage marks a profound time to take a look at motivation and “what makes you tick” in the area of life that these degree points in Virgo rule over from both the natal birth chart and collective perspective. Mars prefers to convey his energies in “his own way” and can appear selfish from time to time. What is important to innately understand about “self” at this time is the difference between the attention to self and selfish acts. The first is a true response that is a gift to our Soul, while the latter is pure reaction that tends to create storms within our Spirit.

The natural energy of our Pioneer planet drives us to do things and at times do them rather quickly. Yet, under any Mars station and retrograde passage, it is in all of our best interests to sloooooow down, and take up with a patient pace. As we all take up further within our Winter’s retreats, certainly there couldn’t be a better time for some Mars reflection to take place. By the time it is complete 13 April, wowo, if your free will has chosen the SILENT LISTEN, what keys you will then have to unlock your Spring! As Virgo energy is at its’ best when all doubt is erased, truly it will be a time to come charging out of the gates, completely refreshed as Mars’s motivation will be ready to move forward again.

For the collective, be on the look out for endings and true conclusions to arrive in what Virgo’s purity and sense of discrimination represents for us all. As John Jocelyn speaks of this sign, “Ever does Virgo seek the reason; it wants to know why. Virgo, using the brain, requires sight and knowledge as to how one knows why. Virgo says, “Demonstrate to me how you know why!” Virgo attains to the power of discrimination, for discrimination is the one needful thing for Virgo souls. What is discrimination if not the ability to know the true from the false, the essential from the non-essential! Evolved souls in this sign get at the very core, the kernel of the exterior man, as well as to the center of things.”

This Mars Retrograde will tie up some interesting energies connected to what Saturn brought to the surface to be responsible for when he was transiting here September 2007 to October 2010. Virgo is the sign of the auditor, and those collective details that were examined and scrutinized over that time now get a true last once over. There is a discipline that will unleash itself, and whatever lessons did not fully come to pass from Father Saturn’s time here, Mars will now finalize the details of these deals.

So too, will you see these same kinds of activity from wherever Virgo seeks to be of service and brings a natural understanding to your life. Your natal birth chart that is calculated from your time of birth grants the true individual view, while the simplicity of knowing your sun sign casts the outer picture for how Mars’s reflective request also urges to speak with you. Remember, even as Mars goes Direct again upon 13 April, he will take all you have reassessed here moving forward to remain within the Virgo slice of your Zodiac Pie until 03 July, when he enters Libra.

A little quick guide is below from the collective perspective on which area of life Mars presently will request your courage to unfold as he journeys backwards for a pass. If you know your Rising Sign/Ascendant (determined from the time of birth) then look to how 23 to 03 degrees Virgo precisely sits within the natal birth chart for closer insight to how you can make the most of rising up to your core and grace.

Aries: Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets

Taurus: Creativity/Children/Love Affairs

Gemini: Home/Family/Emotions/Environments

Cancer: Thinking/Mentality/Communications

Leo: Values/Earning Power/Possessions

Virgo: Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations

Libra: Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past

Scorpio: Innovations/Friendships/Organizations

Sagittarius: Career/Public Life/Opportunities

Capricorn: Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education

Aquarius: Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth

Pisces: Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others

Mars Retrograde will test our patience and truest sense of how we handle aggression and penetration within our lives, being he is -aside from the role of The Pioneer- the true warrior within the Zodiac. Yet, instead of reacting to any pressure that may come our way in conflict, there is another innate energy of Mars that will bring us the best results as we reflect. This, simply, is the response of COURAGE. URGE OUR CORE, CURE OUR RAGE, CURE OUR EGO, GRACE OUR AGE.

May rising up in courage bring you the brightest blessings Dear Stars as you discover and reflect upon all of your whys. Namaste.
