MARS, now moving through its retrograde shadow, is heading straight into some heavy clashes. The first real hit builds up this Sunday/Monday as our masculine energy takes a shameful blow from both the SUN and CHIRON. At the same time, VENUS is preparing for some equally diabolical work before she makes her shift into righteously ordained Sagittarius late next week.
One thing I must say, when men avoid facing their own wounds, they carry a hidden weapon. Unexamined pain is volatile; it spills out into the world, often hitting the people closest to them. Avoidance turns inward suffering into outward damage. By refusing to look within, they become haunted by shadows that demand expression—whether through anger, control, or callous detachment. Real strength isn’t in pretending the pain doesn’t exist—it does—it’s in summoning up the courage to sit with it, to understand it, and to prevent it from wreaking havoc on others. And those “others” are done with that shit.
No one’s exempt from this energy. In the wake of the eclipses, these coming days lead us into Thursday’s Full Moon—the most intense Supermoon of the year.
