Mars (what you deeply desire/what you are passionate about) is in Leo (creativity, Heart, courage, Light, Love) where it has initiated a 7+ month journey/process, including a Retrograde which only happens every 2 years. This is a Double-Fire combo, making it extremely potent, and as with any amount of Power, much responsibility and conscious thought is necessary to make it effective, rather than destructive. Using this Double Fire energy for creativity and purification is highly recommended. This combo represents who you are, what you want and what you truly value. This much Fire (power) must be directed with care and never left "unattended". If you are not paying attention and allow this fiery energy to blaze out of control, you will destroy rather than create; you will burn out your valuable energy rather than light your Path. If you already struggle with volatile emotions and roaring reactions, this is going to be an ultimate test for you. Be very mindful, there is no disguising this energy and it will make you a target for cooler, strategic minds to use your own energies against you.

Mars Retrograde @ 19° Leo ~ Dec 20, 2009

Mars Direct @ 0° Leo ~ Mar 10, 2010

As with all Retrogrades, the energy that is normally outwardly expressed becomes more inner directed. And Mars is the planet of passion, action, sex, war, and desire. What do you desire at this time? What do you passionately desire? Or have you been “passionate” about ANYTHING lately? What have you been actively pursuing in the world?

Right now is the time to do the INNER WORK - but with the power and passion of Mars behind it. You may feel the Retrograde in that whatever direction you WERE heading in (over the last 2 years) may now be slowed or even reversed (temporarily at least). Things that were easy may seem challenging and things that used to be challenging now become simple. Remember, all delays and detours are not necessarily “bad”. Pay attention to what aspect of your approach to acquiring what you desire needs revision.

Don’t fight the Retrograde process (like Mars energy is prone to do), resist the temptation to explode but rather, quietly observe, then take decisive action (Mars) which serves your Highest good. Remember, channel your rage (paralyzes you) in to outrage (mobilizes you) and the best revenge is SUCCESS!!  Often, Mars Retrograde brings whatever you’ve suppressed, ignored or avoided to the surface to be dealt with - it won’t be denied. Be prepared to dig deep because this will be challenging but it will feel like the cleansing of a really bad storm, which when passes leaves behind equal beauty and even a rainbow to remind you of the Higher energy which sustains you. We get 7+ months to review what we are truly passionate about, what's really worth doing and how much we actually love ourselves. When Mars once again goes forward, be prepared to act boldly!
