Unlocking the Power of Mercury Retrograde; Understanding its Role in Mind, Communication, and Personal Alchemy

Mars symbolises personal action - the energy and drive to obtain that to which we are attracted and to resist that which is undesirable or a threat. Our desires generate powerful drives to demonstrate our competency, sexuality and the power to assert or defend our unique identity, often at any cost... [read more]

Today we look at what happens in the Mars/Neptune dance, a two-year cycle involving the God of War and the Ruler of Seas. By the time Neptune is through with Mars, he appears washed up, dishevelled, disoriented and wasted on some sandy shore. Still, he has learned to survive in Neptune's nebulous waters. While he is disappointed with himself, he is wiser, more refined and acquainted with the futility of his belligerent ways...

Some tensions have been building for weeks, others months, years, and some have been building for generations...

Let us revisit the Jupiter/Saturn cycle a little because each year's changing relationship between these two significant planets describes the incremental process of an emerging new reality. As humans, the kind of mutual endeavours we project into our respective societies are represented perfectly by the ebb and flow of Jupiter and Saturn's periods of growth and recession...

2022 is the first time Neptune will meet Jupiter in Pisces since March 1856. At each conjunction, Neptune subtly introduces a possible 'better' future to Jupiter, who then spends approximately a year transiting through each of the 12 zodiac signs, sowing the seeds of dissolution to all the dreams that stood before, washing them away with the promise of a brand new hope...

In Aquarius, the freedom-fighting Mars combines with the harsh disciplinarian force of a socially reformist Saturn, hampering activism and controlling 'social justice' waves of anger and frustrations with the distinct effort to instil new control systems. It is an indication that we are entering a whole new 2-year cycle of painstaking work...
