Mars turns retrograde
for Winter Solstice
On December 20th Mars turns retrograde until 10th January 2010. Just when we thought we could steam ahead with our plans, there is hesitation, delay and obstruction. It is important not to feel frustrated by this, nor to simply carry on regardless – the frustrations and delays are there to ensure that we act from our innermost heart, not from our ego. It is time to take stock and wait for the moment of Right Action to occur naturally and spontaneously, which it will when the time is right. Retrograde Mars is “priming” us to act with clarity and pure intent, when the Chiron - Neptune conjunction on 16th February accelerates us towards the Big Shift in 2012.
At Winter Solstice, the Sun is poised between Venus (in Sagittarius) and Pluto (in Capricorn). The choice is clear – to allow renewal and rebirth to emerge from the depths of your heart, and move into a place of empowerment; or deny that, and life will challenge you at every turn. With Mercury conjunct the Moon’s North Node, this is the time to make a conscious choice to do what is right, rather than to continue doing what merely keeps you in your comfort zones.
From 14th - 28th January, Mars in Leo forms a Grand Trine in Fire signs, with Ceres in Sagittarius and Juno in Aries. Now is the time to act with care and attention for what nourishes us at the deepest levels (Ceres), whilst maintaining Right Relationship with self and others (Juno) so we are receptive to the healing potentials offered by the Chiron - Neptune conjunction in February
