“Don’t just do something. Sit there!” Melanie Reinhart on the Mars Retrograde
“If we cultivate Mars by being physical- dancing, doing martial arts, gardening, walking in the woods, we thus tap into the vitality of life.” Caroline W. Casey
Author and astrologer Melanie Reinhard has written that the current Mars Retrograde period (through 2/23) is a good time to think about the “purification of the Mars principle.” In other words, this continuing time frame bodes well for thinking about how we take action, deal with frustration, desire and aggression in order to accomplish our goals and aspirations. It is a good time to make adjustments or improvements if indicated. New, more successful strategies can be evolved under this influence.
Using Mars in this inner way bodes well as under the retrograde influence as efforts to move forward with some projects can be delayed or thwarted.
Uranus, the revolutionary planet stations direct today at 23 degrees of Taurus. Make sure any plans are on solid footing and watch for impulsiveness.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A white dove flying straight and fearlessly over troubled waters.”
