Mars stations direct on Thursday January 12 at 8 degrees of Gemini – ending the retrograde transit which began October 30. Mars, the fiery god of action and desire is not happy when retrograde as it symbolizes energy being held back and the nature of Mars is impulsive and action- oriented. The retrograde period has been a good time to look at how we use our power and implement it to attain aspirations. It’s wise for the next few days to heed any information that may surface which is related to this.
It’s a busy time in the starry heavens now as Mars. Mercury and Uranus all move direct this month – Mercury on the 18th and Uranus on January 22 joining Mars on the 12th. If possible it bodes well to postpone any important decisions until the very end of January into February.
For the next few days Mercury will be forming a favorable alignment with Uranus – an excellent time to let your mind be free and open to new ideas and insights.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A medieval archer stands with the ease of one wholly sure of himself , bow in hand, his quiver filled with arrows.”
