I was inspired to say a bit more about this Mars Retro period we are entering into. Sometimes the best way to look at these things is with a simple motto, so I will try to keep it simple that way.
Mars is our fighting spirit, what we fight for and the qualitative nature of how we fight.
When problematic, Mars attacks preemptively with vengeance and selfish anger. It's mean, petty and takes pleasure in destruction. It burns, cuts and breaks. It takes to the attack and becomes like it's opposition. Violence begets more violence.
Other times a problematic Mars, a weak Mars will not even fight at all and allow to be dominated and overcome without struggle for independence or standing up for one's boundaries.
During this phase we have a chance to look at our Martial nature and rethink our strategy, and react or respond in new ways.
Ask yourself "what am I fighting against?" and then ask yourself "what am I fighting For?"
If you are fighting against something you are fighting to fight and you are fighting for violence. In big ways and in small ways, inside and outside. Are you fighting for the right things in your life? Take care and choose your battles wisely, you may win. What then?
And If you aren't standing up for something you are laying down and allowing the problems in your life and in the world around you to persist. Do people in your life need you? Does the world?
Have courage. Remember that courage doesn't mean lack of fear but persisting in spite of it.
