Now that Mars is in Aries, it’s all systems go. The love of speed and the sense of urgency to take action is stronger than ever. It’s about vitality in the moment. We are primal, instinctual creatures now. When Mars meets up with the wildcard planet, Uranus, our reckless impulses prevail. We refuse to…

A cosmic watery theme continues as the Sun follows Neptune, Mercury, Mars and Chiron into the oceanic seaweed of Pisces on February 18. The Sun colors our self-expression and the energy we choose to radiate through the heart, and when in the compassionate sign of Pisces, we’re more likely to feel our way through situations and emphatically consider the other person’s position. Boundaries get blurred…

This emotional edgy and overly sensitive New Moon has been tweaking our nervous systems and emotional thresholds for the past few days. Emotional turbulence is a strong undercurrent and there is very little reason or rationale for many of the tidal wave of temper tantrums that have been building since Saturday. The tension between the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn) continues. And thus, those are the signs most affected by this new Moon, so take note if your birthday falls into one of the above categories.
Our relationships, our family patterns, our career issues and our ego trips are all being put to serious test. Questions like: are you operating out of your highest integrity? Are you comparing yourself too much to others? Do you allow the destructive sides of competition to inhibit your progress?

The god of war is entering the sign of peace and balance on July 3. It’s easy to understand why this pairing might be a detrimental match. Mars likes to tangle — and in a very direct fashion. Libra prefers to keep things nice, and avoids nasty confrontations. Mars likes to make things happen pronto, and Libra prefers to stall while carefully weighing out every decision. Mars adores action, and Libra tends to be passive.
Hence, this pairing is often associated with passive-aggressive maneuvers, frustration and repressed anger. Sadly, passive-aggression often leads to internalizing the anger, which then leads to reactive-formation: i.e. imagining that everyone hates you. This is just to give you a sense of how challenging the combo is, and to explain why it may feel more uncomfortable than usual to be in our anger — let alone express it directly.
