It will reprogram us to realize what we want, what we desire and how we go after what we want. The Aries energy is going to show us some primal energies that lie within us and we will have opportunities to work out and take apart the things that have been holding us back. Mars will be transitting through Aries until January 7th of 2021. This is going to be a longer then normal transit through Aries, due to the retrograde. Mars will turn retrograde on September 9th at 28 degrees of Aries and turn direct on November 14th at 15 degrees of Aries This is the terrain that Mars will be traveling back and forth between for 3 times. So, it will travel from 15 degrees to 28 degrees, 3 times. If you know where this is in your chart, you will be able to focus in on what is being reprogramed and reworked within yourself. If you’d like help with understanding this area of you life and what is being reprogrammed, please contact me for a personal Reading. Mars rules the masculine energy within each of us and so this retrograde will cause a reprograming and re-emerging. Mars energy tells us how we go after what we want, how we assert ourselves, the development of self leadership and our ability to develop confidence in who we are. It’s how we feel strong and powerful. Mars energy shows us how we go into the world and follow our dreams, how we trust our desires and the way we are assertive. During the retrograde there will be a realization of what we haven’t been able to control, revisited. The 2nd half of 2020 will prepare us for some very powerful new starts and beginnings and there is timing and cycles involved. 2020 has been like taking a deck of cards and throwing it up in the air and saying “that’s my life”. Everything is scattered every where and nothing seems to be in order. There’s chaos and nothing seems to be occurring that’s orderly. This is a year with a lot of reshuffling of our lives and energy. Its brought a change in our priorities and it can feel so much out of our control. We can look at this as how it pertains to Covid. There’s been huge job losses and huge economic changes. Careers are gone and professions have changed. Family relationships issues have come up. It’s like everything has been brought to our awareness in a very powerful way. This has made us more aware of our own energy and what we really want based on a deeper truth that has emerged. Its has been a slow process. Since about 2017, there has been bumps in the road that brought big life changes. This pertains to the very strong eclipse energies of 2017. For some people, it may have been 2019 or just this year that all these big changes occurred. There’s been this rolling cycle of shifting away from who you were and this is supporting leaving the 3D world that we physically live in. This is about leaving our egoic definitions of ourselves and the shoulds of our life. We’ve been telling ourselves “I should be this. I should want this. This isn’t what I thought my life would be. This isn’t what I thought would make me happy.” It seems we’ve had all these preconceived notions. The thing about life now is that the energy is moving fast and the cycles are very dynamic. This is bigger then just you or I. This is about how the planet is evolving and shifting during this current cycle. This is requiring us all to do the same. We’ve each had our own individual journey around awakening and what it means to step into our own energetic strength and spiritual gifts. We’ve been learning how to trust ourselves. This brings up all the changes in your life and in your world and an ability to create a new life that you absolutely love, but it’s not here yet. There’s still cleaning up to do. There’s still this mess, as I described earlier, of this deck of cards on the floor. How do we organize it and make sure it’s the things we want? The energy is still shifting, that we’re moving through. An important area this has been brought up, through the Venus retrograde cycle, is relationships issues. Soon we’ll have Mars retrograde this year as well. So, there’s been a focus on what you need, who you are, what is correct for you and perhaps there’s been a lot you’ve learned. There’s probably been some healing and growth. It could also have been heart breaking or devastating due to some difficult experiences. This has been especially true over the past 3 years. We’ve had to look deep within ourselves at our feminine and masculine sides to find balance and acceptance with unconditional love. This is a part of our collective soul journey in this lifetime and hasn’t been done before because this energy hasn’t been on our planet to support this type of growth or consciousness. We are all reworking relationships at a deep level. As Mars enters Aries and then retrogrades, it’s going to be very powerful in the second half of 2020. This will show us more of what we really desire and want. But, it’s going to be something we need to navigate through strategically. What Mars in Aries does is it shows us where our new start will be. It initiates a new consciousness and a new adventure. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it inspires us to get moving. It tells us we’re ready to get out into the world, inspiring us to start something fresh and new. Aries energy is very motivating and tells us we’re ready, especially since Mars having been in Pisces. It has had us doing a lot of clearing out and letting go. Mars in Pisces can feel discouraging with an energetic depression of release. The last 10 degrees of Mars in Pisces can feel like there’s a void of having to let go of so much. This cycle is completing and ending but the new isn’t quite here yet. When Mars goes into Aries, a masculine fire is lit. There will be a fresh zest for life coming in and now we’ll feel more ready, because, the energy is here. As Mars travels through Aries for the first 15 degrees, especially, there is strong support for things we want to get moving on. There’s a sense that this energy is here to help you launch, trust, go for it, know who you are and it’s subjective. This will inspire you to put yourself first and some may say “this isn’t right”, however, you’re taking responsibility for your own energy and that is being responsible. Mars will be traveling through the first 15 degrees of Aries until July 27th and this is the time this energy will have some clarity in it. There will be a sense of new possibilities and that you can do this, because, this is what you want. This is a very invigorating energy. Around July 26th/27th, Mars enters the shadow zone, which is the area it will retrograde over and be traveling back and forth over 3 times. From June 28th til July 26th, there is an inspiration for movement with new ideas. New things are being put into motion and making progress. This is the time you get clarity around what you want. There’s this intuitive sense that this is what you want. Once Mars enters its shadow zone there will be a slow down and there’s going to be a reworking of the timeline you just experienced. On September 9th, Mars begins its retrograde. One of the gifts of Mars in Aries retrograde is that, it’s making sure that you have shifted your energy and shifted your level of consciousness enough so that your not starting a new cycle based on older, unconscious actions. There’s an energy here of being aware that whatever you’re starting fresh or new, you aren’t falling into old habits. You’re not going and reverting back to “this is how I’ve always done this.” This is when we aren’t permitting a lower energy of ourself to be in control. This is when it’s very important to be very clear about who you are, what you want now and to allow that to be in control, not the older parts of you. Part of this is checking in with your level of consciousness that pertains to your belief systems and your intentions. Ask yourself “what do I believe about who I am now and do I really trust and believe that I can go after what I want and create the life of my dreams based on what I’ve learned about myself in recent years”. As much as Mars in Aries says “I’m ready, I’m ready, lets go, lets go”, this is actually insuring that this new cycle, which is a 2 year cycle, is based on a higher consciousness and not the old version of yourself. So, it’s very important to check in with yourself and make sure that what you’re creating is what you’re moving forward with and the question is, “is it energetically aligned”. Now, this is going to be a time of slowing down. Mars is going to be checking in with the planets in Capricorn and this will bring up more things that need to be worked out, untangled, decided, sorted through and it could be a bit challenging. There’s going to be some false starts and this is giving you a gift of time, if you can see it that way. You’re being gifted with more time to work on this and to sit in this. You’re being given more time to work through any challenges that come up. This is a gift of time so that you can find completion with some very big things. What happens is, Mars will square Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn in August. Starting August 3rd, Mars squares Jupiter retrograde at 19 degrees of Capricorn. It squares Pluto retrograde at 22/23 degrees of Capricorn and then it squares Saturn retrograde at 26 degrees of Capricorn. Throughout all of August, things are really being worked out but there is not an ease to this. It’s a very big energy of battles, irritation, power issues, power struggles, different intentions with leadership, different desired outcomes and it’s because Mars in Aries wants to operate on its own principles. It’s the lone wolf who wants to do it by itself, taking charge and go its own way. Capricorn energies are about a bigger system, a bigger dynamic and about what has been in place for a very long time. Mars is coming up against 3 big Capricorn energies that are basically telling Mars “no”. There’s this ego desire of what you want and throughout August, there is a battle where something gets worked out. But, this can bring up anger, impatience, rage or power issues and it’s a slow down. There is this timultuous energy with it and a sense that what you want you can’t have because its not time. There is a process unfolding and things are being worked out. For many people, this comes up against this Capricorn energy, which is not only about what has been established and the authority figures but how you talk outside yourself. This can be about legal matters that need to be worked out and people to answer to. This could even be a job change, because you see what you don’t like at work or you see what you’re not happy with. You may feel impatient and just want to leave and get away, but you realize it just isn’t the right time. So, you have to struggle through something because the universe is saying “you need to look at something here”. You are recognizing how your ego responds to cycles and forces that are bigger then you and how you can feel some deeper energies. You may feel this at a root level, which can be, trying to make something happen but there’s bigger forces in control and you can’t make it happen. It has to happen when the timing is right. On a collective level there can be a lot of anger and more that’s related to more rioting and more fighting. The gift in this is we see what needs to be healed. We get to see what needs to be worked through. There’s a lot of emotions and reactions being extra amplified and your responsibility is yourself but there’s energies here that are going to be triggered. August is a big month for all of this and then Mars is going to meet up with these planets again in late September into mid October. Mars is going to square Saturn at 25 degrees of Capricorn on September 27th. It will square Pluto at 22 degrees of Capricorn on October 8th and will square Jupiter at 19 degrees of Capricorn on October 18th. So, the end of September into most of October, we’re revisiting the same issues again and this is where you can understand the road ahead. There’s going to be things you’re pacing through that you can’t rush through or force through. So, conserve your energy and check your ego at the door so you can work out what needs to be worked out within you that has not been matured. Capricorn energy is about maturity and Aries energy can be immature. One of the lower expressions of Aries is that you want it your way. There’s this energy of “I want it now, I’m very impatient and impulsive”. This is about looking into fears you have. It can be that fear of “if I don’t make it happen, it’s not going to happen or if it doesn’t happen now, its never going to happen”. Take a look at the messages that come up for you around these Aries energie. If you have any planets in your chart in Aries, things will be revealed. If you have strong Capricorn in your chart, then you’ll know that side of this too. So, we are working out the Aries and Capricorn energies within ourselves, which is, how what you personally want relates to a bigger picture, because, Capricorn is not only about the government and politics but also about your profession, career and what’s unfolding in your life. It’s taking a look at where you’re taking energetic control and understanding your mastery. This is going to be, looking at a development of mastery around what you want and understanding that there’s still things that need to be worked out in the second half of 2020. Mars meets up with Jupiter and Saturn only twice and that’s because they both move into Aquarius in December and then Mars will square Pluto for the 3rd and final time at 23 degrees of Capricorn on December 22nd. The biggest energy is Mars squaring Pluto in Capricorn, because, it’s also happening at the point of that January 10th lunar eclipse. This was the time when Covid started and the world started to change permanently. There were hints of what was to come both economically and financially. So, when Mars triggers this energy again and brings out the anger, reactions and more of what has been repressed, this will show us where we’re working through some things individually. There’s this anger at whats been controlled and how things have been handled. There’s an unsettled energy every time Mars squares Pluto. This is a very big deal and for this to happen 3 times, there may be somethings that physically are over thrown. It could be that, something rises up and we’re going to see it. Mars square Pluto can bring a war type of energy influence. In a birth chart, this is one of the most difficult configurations for a person to live out. This will be playing out over a span of 5 months. The second part of 2020 is the reaction or response to the first half of 2020. This will play out for us as a whole, but it’s important to take a look at your chart and map out how this is playing out for you. You should know what areas of your life are being amplified, where you are personally working out power issues, how that’s playing out for you along with what that means for your life, at this time. Now, that you have a general timeline of this energy, what the Mars in Aries desires may be, and what you may be coming up against with this strong Capricorn energy, I want to relate this to each of our masculine sides as we realize how we want to assert ourselves energetically. There’s been for a number of years of reprogramming of masculine and feminine energies on our planet. These energies have been reworked and are being reactivated in our lives. Masculine energies has been looked at as the provider, and the one who has the desire to make things happen in the world to be successful. This could be about profession, career, family relationships and all of the above. In recent decades and all of the 21st century, especially after world war II, there was this very deep energetic programming within men about what it means to be a man in the world and what it means to be the provider for the family. This has been deeply changing, elevated and awakened. It seems as though the masculine energy has had to go down into this very dark cave and there’s been challenges and loss. There’s been very intense challenges from the world that have challenged the stability of financial areas. This has challenged the masculine self expression through peoples careers. There has been a deep reworking of what the masculine thought was essential to their self identity. There’s been this questioning around life purpose of “What is my purpose? What is my mission and what is my work? For masculine energy this is essential and a big theme. This isn’t only being reworked but removed. The thought that you had something to count on that was stable and that you’d always be in your profession was there, and then something happened that deeply challenged that. It could have been a change in the economy, your work situation, your family, a relationship or any other area of your life. There was an energy of a microcosm that you were controlling or had the illusion of control, then these bigger energy influences came in and you realized you weren’t in control at all. An example of this is, your building a house and a huge storm comes and destroys what you’ve built. This type of experience sinks and destroys a persons sense of purpose. This applies to woman too, because we also have Mars energy in our charts. It’s what your ego defined. So, there’s been a lot of challenge for the masculine energies and the challenge can be a perception of control you “thought” you lost. There’s been a deeper experience of having no control. For some people its been financial ruin and destabilizing. For masculine energies, this is a very big thing. Things have been depleted, destroyed and removed and it has been a huge time of asking “what’s this all about”. We’re having to look at our deepest fears that have been in our unconscious or subconscious. The removal of finances, career, family, physical health and any area of your life that you’ve overemphasized its importance that forces you to go into your heart, because, the unconscious masculine energy has been over providing, over performing and over functioning. This has been part of a programming that could be related to a father figure who did a lot and you want to emulate him or maybe he did not do much and you are determined to do the opposite. This could also be related to cultural beliefs, cultural programming, community programming, spiritual programming or any number of things you were operating that actually were never connected to your heart. So, there’s this heart emergence that’s happening for a lot of people about what they truly love, but were brought to their knees first. Things were wiped out, because the universe wanted you to know that this is not all of who you are. Then there was this void and in this void, there’s quiet, there’s listening and if you’re not conscious of the void, old energies can seep in and you experience more challenges and you wonder how much more you can take. This has been a very tough road that could have blindsided many people and then there’s many questions like “what is going on and why can’t you get your life back on track”. Then this energy begins to collapse on itself and you become hard on yourself. You start asking yourself “why can’t I get back to what was”. You could feel as if you’ve been energetically tethered, caged, stuck and tied to a situation you can’t escape from. You could feel like you are energetically connected to this old programming and cannot break free. This has been depleting your energy. This has been very big for so many people and it’s not talked about. These are huge, life changing experiences and more then most people would share. So, it is very important to have a place to talk this out or get new information that supports whatever your moving through, so you know you’re not alone. Old masculine energy wants you to believe that if you can’t take care of this on your own, that you’re not in control. As you open up your heart, this heart expansion that’s been coming in for the last 3 years, it’s influencing you to feel safer, to share your truth with people who are safe and willing to listen. The deeper programming of this old masculine energy that has followed you for lifetimes is being exposed. We’re all moving deeper into an energy that is incredibly balanced. Feminine energies come in through the heart, compassion, self expression, creativity or inspiration. Anything that you feel excited about that emotionally opens you up, is part of the purpose of the destruction and loss that the masculine energy has gone through. This is actually a heart opening and it’s mean’t to show you more of who you are. The old theme is gone now, because that was a conditioned version of yourself. Now, there’s so much more that’s going to be opening up and coming through, especially in 2021 and beyond. If you can see this as a preparatory energy that is showing more of what you want and who you are, there will be a new sense of purpose. It’s best if you can think of your past and all its successes and then think, “now it’s time to start another successful time in my life”. However, this time you’ll be incorporating what you love, what you’re passionate about with new goals and this will bring a more balanced expression of purpose. This is coming up for all masculine energies and will for many years ahead. Many people are beginning to understand more of what they can do in the world. There will be lots of questions about finances and “when will they come”. We’re in this preparatory energy, where this Mars energy is going to have some false starts, like I talked about earlier in this article so that you can figure things out and get a check of the real world. This is part of the Capricorn energies. We need to adjust our expectations accordingly. You can know what your new passion is, your new purpose, know what you want to do next and don’t take it personally, as things shift and change. In January of 2021 and beyond, Mars goes into Taurus and it’s going to be very strong and stable. There’s going to be more things that happen, because it’ll be grounded in the real world and this is where the financial aspects kick in, where you see how to make money with a new venture and the finances show up. Money has an energy and you will want to look at your connection to money. If you’ve put too much importance on it or have been overly reliant on money as a source of happiness, then, you will have more work to do around your relationship with finances. You’ll want to restructure that in a way that you can create money but you can also receive it and allow it to come in. You don’t have to over perform, over provide or over function. Be careful you don’t go into that mode which isn’t healthy. It’s a lot like a runner who is afraid to slow down or take a breath because they think everything will fall apart. This is why in American culture, people don’t take enough vacations because they’re afraid to step away from their e-mails and the time clock. This is the over functioning which isn’t healthy for any of us and is part of the deeper programming happening at that masculine level of performance, of providing, and being in control, that can exhaust you. As I said before, this can show up in a number of ways. This isn’t something that is happening to you, but a reprogramming of what is true for you and you’ll be realizing a new and higher purpose that’s related to a stronger sense of self built on a higher level of consciousness and power. There’s more to share about this and I’ll be writing about that next week. Many have been struggling and searching to understand what to do. So, this second half of 2020 is bringing you back internally to see more of yourself and that will be what you carry forward. There’s also an energy here, of, no compromise. This is to do with relationships and I’ll talk more about this next week. It’s crucial you stay in your integrity and stay strong in your power as these shifts occur. Remember, this time is going to show you what you can’t go back to in relationships and more about those dynamics.
