Pardon some stream-of-consciousness Mars musings (I knew you'd be kind enough to indulge me! : )
Mars is making its closest pass to the Earth in some 60,000 years. As it does so, it's creating some powerful effects in people. Have you been feeling a little anxious and overeager, like a racehorse at the start gate? (I bet your friends are starting to call you Seabiscuit.) There's a reason for that.
Mars has a tendency to act as a psychic lodestone (or magnet,) drawing to the surface anything that we have repressed (no matter how tidily we feel that we have tucked it away.)
So, if you've been nursing a hankering for Engelbert Humperdinck's music, you won't be able to hide it any longer. You might as well just 'fess up to it! ("Engelbert, you are my God! I love the 70's!")
This does not have to be a bad thing at all. (I mean, having your true passions come to the surface. I refuse to pass judgment on the whole Engelbert thang. Whatever burps your goat.)
For instance, I'm finding that my career ambition and desire for personal expression is becoming stronger, and the outer world is mirroring my desire to come into this power more actively. Opportunities are taking shape in ways that seem to directly mirror my thoughts. There's a very short time between thought and manifestation. ("If you build it, he will come!" - from my favorite Kevin Costner movie, Field of Dreams.)
This is contrasted to what was, by all accounts, a relatively quiet year, full of strategizing and formulating ideas, rather than taking the bull by the horns and running with it.
Lately, I've felt more emboldened, getting confident about pursuing different pet goals that I've be seeking, consciously and unconsciously, for a long time. ("Yes! I will take those tango lessons, even though I have the physical coordination of a slug!")
So, I would welcome you to also look at what positive aspects of yourself you've been repressing over the last few years, and to really get in touch with what they might be. Now is the perfect time to release the energy and express it.
For instance, for single people, if you have a really strong desire to express warmth in a romantic relationship, the day-to-day personal affection stuff, give yourself room to daydream, to envision what it might be like WHEN (not IF!) you connect with that special soulmate. Really envision licking somebody's toes, sniffing their underwear, doing rude things with whipped creme, and all of that good stuff. (Depending on what you're into. Again, I refuse to pass judgment.)
Rehearsing the energy of that experience, that relationship, with your heart engaged, your mind full of inspiration, can be a powerful exercise right now. . . on the level of white magic. Remember: to manifest something in material form, one of the most important pieces of the equation is ardent, heartfelt, passionate DESIRE. (Of course, desire can be used wrongly, as in the decision of the Fox Network to broadcast another round of Temptation Island. What. Were. They. Thinking?)
The black magic types (You know, Darths Vader and Maul) use the lower end of the desire spectrum. . . warping their wishes in a way that is designed to control and manipulate others. We're not talking about that. (Says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz: "I'm not a witch at all! I'm from Kansas!")
I'm talking about indulging in a wondrous, joyful, and loving expression of your creative energies. You can do it! You should do it! Wonderful things will happen if you do.
So take a moment to give energy to the positive, life-affirming aspects of Mars. You can do so any time over the next six months, as Mars will still be heating things up down here on Earth.
Maybe it's time to borrow some coffee from that sexy neighbor.
(Ask for a personal delivery.)
Maybe you should think about composing your own songs, devising a snappy standup routine, or finishing that short story about badgers that you were working on ages ago. Who knows? You might have some talent. (There's gotta be a badger-loving demographic out there somewhere.)
Pursue those passions with a vengeance, and put them to the test.
Also, for the Aries folks among us, you're going to be kicked into high gear now - what with Mars being your planetary ruler and all.
Leos and Sagittarius (fellow Fire signs) will also be in an especially spunky frame of mind.
Enjoy it! Celebrate this massive dose of firepower! Direct it in a joyful, loving manner, and who knows what miracles we all might be able to create on Earth at this time?
