Episode 16: What To Do With Mars Rx? + Astrology of 9/6 - 9/13
Mars stations retrograde this week at 28° Aries, and will remain retrograde through November 13th, stationing direct at 15° in the sign of the ram. In that time, we will have plentiful opportunities to explore themes of anger, rage that is both personal and collective, and the somatic processing of fury. Mars will be colliding with Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto, and in light of this I offer insight into what we can expect, and what we can hope to achieve.
As always, I write about the astrology of the week ahead, to give grounding and perspective on our collective astrological experience.
