Within hours Mars enters Aries, one of the signs over which he possesses rulership. In fact, it’s the sign where he possesses sole rulership. Coming up is a multi-week sprint forward (until 18 May), it’s like in the marathon of life ahead, the only thing that matters is the next few moments. That’s because, as Mars kicks off this era, he does so with heaps of gumption. And as Mars concludes the next Aries tenure, he polishes off his visitation with more gumption still. In the alpha and the omega, so to speak, focus, dive and delve as deep as you can, and surface with the pearls... as in the pearls of wisdom
Mars soon aligns with Neptune, Saturn, Salacia, Eris and Chiron. Here’s the time line and the associated string of pearls for consideration:
12 April - Mars conjunct Neptune
While there may be concern and apprehension surrounding this pattern, there’s also a fuzzy, hazy wrapped around the why the feelings occur in the first place. There’s an ambiguous sense that something looms on the immediate horizon and it’s impossible to read if that’s favorable or not. Truly, this is a time to shed all anticipation and expectation to simply let things unfold as they do. The results may be surprisingly beneficial. In the moment, outcomes cannot be known. Slow down, put your headlights on low beam and stay in the immediate.
Apply your best efforts in life without attempting to delineate results. Permit the room and allow the space for the possibility that you may be more than pleasantly surprised.
19 April - Mars conjunct Saturn
Normally feared, this aspect seeds determination, commitment to cause and follow through. With such seeding, weeding, watering, cultivation and conscious care, there will be a yield when harvest time comes. The more you seed, the higher the potentials yield. It is true that seeding and such requires physical resources, not the least of which is your applied energy - a most valuable commodity.
Another note that is often overlooked with this aspect, it can be politically savvy. In this context, savvy isn’t always the best thing. Savvy can be used to manipulate and spin information and actions into a web of intrigue intended to benefit the most savvy of souls. Around this time, consider all political news as spin and assume that you will be required to render your honest reaction. Could stating your view create an enthusiastic response or conjure rejection and exclusion? Most certainly either possible outcome may prevail. No matter. You must operate from your best position and equilibrium no matter of the consequences. Be true to your views. Know what you can support and what you cannot. Be beyond reproach.
25 April - Mars conjunct Salacia
This alignment dovetails with the Mars to Saturn conjunction. Previously, you defined where you stand in no uncertain terms. Now the effort is made to ensure that all surrounding environments you choose to engage clearly agree with your organic stance in life. There can be a blurry boundary here. When does a fresh water river that feeds into the ocean become infused with salt? Where is the edge between muddied waters and clear waters? Better yet, are you good no matter what space you occupy? This demands that you push back and extricate yourself from unwanted, imposing influences and life environmental factors that seek to usurp your sensibilities and devour your power.
12 May - Mars conjunct Eris
This conjunction, despite the planets involved, should be perceived as favorable because Eris fancied the company of Ares, the sign over which Mars holds rulership dominion. An interesting component of energy applied accompanies the aspect. Wherever Eris insists energy be applied, there is a well-intended reason. Now, well-intended does not equal good intentions or spiritual intentions. It simply means that a focused reason exists for all action taken, and that the intention is not likely to be declared. If you need to know the intention, ask. Can you trust the answer you receive?
The truth is, should Eris feel included, accepted, valued and even loved, she will mellow. At that point, she functions more in the middle of the spectrum instead of the fringes. Is it possible that she contributes? Yes, she then contributes to what a person needs versus what they want, and she shuns excess.
16 May - Mars conjunct Chiron
This transit is notable because Chiron was wounded by an arrow (very Mars to puncture and wound) and ironically the poison on the tip of that arrow that caused all the pain was concocted by Chiron himself. There is a strong sense of irony within the pattern. It’s bit like declaring that when one is up to their ass in alligators it is difficult to recall that the original intention declared that draining the swamp was a good thing.
Actually, alligators may be the least of ones concerns. What else gets exposed when the swamp is drained? Everything. Everything that one cast into the swamp (or an equally likely to be forgotten quadrant of life). And it doesn’t have to be something consciously cast off. It could be something instinctively chucked once one determined that thing or commodity no longer held relevance to current life objectives. Would this have been a matter of saving grace? No, it simply would have been a matter of discarding something painful.
Psychic inflammations are likely to flare up in the interest of once and for all healing the source of the inflammation.
Take note as Mars bears forward. Should you martial and apply the energies who knows what gains you can make on your own behalf. For the time, like Saturn and soon Jupiter, Mars tracks what is pure, true and core to the self.
