The Moon’s in Aries as we start the week, a busy moon that picks up on Mars in Cancer. It’s a day for projects and organization, especially anything from the past that needs revisiting. Even with Mars Retrograde, there’s a push to move forward.
Speaking of Mars Retrograde, it’s a good moment as ever to check in with the planet of action, which has been rewinding its way through Leo and Cancer since December 6. (If you look up in the night sky, Mars is red and bright right now.)
Mars is our drive and motivation. A retrograde doesn’t mean that we do not have drive and motivation. Instead, it means that we can’t run on instinct. We need to be present and conscious of what’s behind or fueling our drive and motivation (or lack thereof), especially if something is no longer working for us.
What have we discovered over the past two months? A retrograde is always an opportunity to make a change, especially since this retrograde has Pluto opposite. It could be argued that we have to make a change. First, by looking at ourselves and seeing what is hidden or not accepted.
Then there’s Mars square Chiron in Aries. During Mars’s time in Cancer, it makes a square to Chiron in Aries, which reveals that there is something that needs to be healed during this retrograde. There could be a pain point around past times where we didn’t take action, where we ran away, or didn’t stand up for ourselves. (Read On Chiron, Suffering, and Knots.)
Today, Mars makes its second of three squares to Chiron. The first was October 13, 2024 and the final square will be March 26, 2025. Take note of any emotional pain points or scar tissue getting pressed on. There’s an opportunity to undo or loosen an old knot.
