Julie posted this today about Mars, the red planet; our Warrior planet http://juliedemboski.com/2012/04/13/your-weekend-13-15-april-2012-jolt-human-barometers-and-gravity-x2/ . She says it’s a bit whiplash-y today and I agree. He’s been retrograde since the end of January. Now he’s turned direct again. I am really feeling the need to move on; to move forward with direction. Not that I’ve been aimless or clueless. I’ve just come to another CHANGE in my life. I’ve had an inner shift that is just starting to settle down. It feels like I’ve been under water longing for that huge gulp of air I’ll receive when I break the surface. I’m almost at the top. I’ve mostly kept my cool under the heat of this warrior and the few temper temper’s I’ve had were cooled down quickly. I’m learning.
I’m not out of the woods yet but I have a great heads up as my Wise Friend always tells me. I have transiting Mars in strong sextile with natal Chiron from Mar 28, 2012 to Apr 30, 2012, no exact.
For this brief period of time, you will become more conscious of the energy for personal transformation and healing in your life. This will likely mean exposing some form of deep-seated pain for the purpose of working through old issues and ultimately healing these issues. During this brief period of time, you may be blessed to provide the impetus for healing to others. You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting with another person during the course of this transit. As another possible result of this transit, issues with ego may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your psyche. These issues may be painful to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your ultimate benefit, for the more integration you can achieve within your psyche, the more whole you are and the more you can bring yourself forward to be of help to other people on the same journey of discovery.
I like this idea of transformation and healing. It just equals more growth. It’s here and it’s happening and I don’t have to fight it or be afraid. I’ve been feeling “deeper, older issues” for a while now. I’m just having trouble pulling them up and out of the records. There’s a big pile on top of those issues and I’m digging through the mess. It’s a “who” not a “what” and there are vague images appearing. They waver and then fade although each time they are a little tiny bit clearer. At one point in my life a little fear would surround this whole issue but I believe I’m beyond that now. I’m anxious for that old 8mm reel in my memory banks to start rolling. Let it benefit this progression…
