Ingres – The Dream Of Ossian
Imagine Mars as a spunky warrior archetype having to slow his brisk march down to an amble through Aquarius. His favoured soundtrack of (let’s say) Ride Of The Valkyries switched to something complicated, jazzy and intellectual. Instinct, guts and stamina declared 2nd rate to the cerebal ponderings of our Aquarius. Mars is not so happy in Aquarius but the war-lordly one (ruler of soldiers, sports-folk, athletes, crusaders, whistle-blowers, Arieans, Scorps heated lovers, men and fighters of all persuasion) will loathe it even more having to swim through Pisces from mid-March.
What is there to look forward to for Mars??? Mars will travel through Aries (yay) from late April, then there will be a stay in at-least-shit-gets-done truculent Taurus, some skitzing about in Gemini (“I said I’d what?) an unspeakable trip thru emo-crabby Cancer and then – bliss – months and months in Leo. Yes, due a retrograde Mars is going to be in Leo for yonks.
But first – this Friday and then next week – Mars meets Chiron and Neptune. Chiron on the Friday & Neptune on the Sunday – the latter colouring the weekend. Mars & Chiron have been conjoining every second March (ish) for a while. Mars is the Warrior & Chiron the Sacred Sage who trained warriors. He is about maverick courage. So this conjunction is a fantastic opportunity for flair to be added into your current quest, whether it be something high-faluting, a fitness jag or wilful effort to get over something/someone.
Think the blessing of sudden wisdom and/or an unexpected but good development. It also starts a new cycle of courage & growth. Think bk to March 2003, 2005 and 2007 for clues.
Mars-Neptune is something else again. It colours the whole weekend. It can be Mars energy stimulating visionary creative energy, dreams and spiritual awareness….Very Aragorn with Gandalf in vibe.
Or Mars with Neptune can be hell-bent dipsomania jag compleat with cuckoo tequila-texting, stupid ideas and stream-of-consciousness crap scrawled on napkins…Remember that as you’re scheduling in your Sat nite, especially with retro-Venus evoking the ghosts of Ex-lovers & the Full Moon provoking some version of rebellion. So…Mars-Neptune can also be this…
A sucker for any Damsel In Distress scenario…
