Aloha and welcome to Moonscopes Astrology Forecast for Mars Retrograde in Libra. These
are general horoscope predictions about astrological alignments Mars will be making during its
retrograde phase that will be affecting everyone. If you have personal planets within 1-3º
orb of an alignment then you will have a more direct personal experience of the celestial
event. I'm your host metaphysician and intuitive
astrologer KG Stiles. Since the start of 2014 all of your personal
and social planets have been slowed down either retrograde, preparing to go retrograde or
preparing to go direct. This slowing down effect of the planets is beneficial for seeing
beneath the surface and clearing out clutter.
On December 25th Christmas day Mars at 9º Libra entered its shadow phase the degree
to which it will retrograde back to. On December 25th Mars was in a Grand Cardinal Cross with
Jupiter conjunct Lilith in the sign of Cancer and Venus conjunct Pluto in the sign of Capricorn
and Uranus in the sign of Aries.
This Cardinal Grand Cross with intersecting Squares and Oppositions supports you to breakthrough
your relationship patterns and get to the heart of what matter most to you. You're being
opened to expressing your authentic power and authority.
These key themes for releasing patterns, self empowerment and embodiment have been operating
all year for you. Mars retrograde will support you to continue reviewing your relationship
patterns even more deeply and make necessary changes.
On March 1st Mars Stations Retrograde at 27º Libra. Your personal planet Mars represents
your ego drive and your desire for taking action.
Mars is said to be in its detriment in Libra which can be a good thing as it will be less
aggressive and more open to negotiating with others for peaceful win-win outcomes.
If however you're overly identified with your ego and need to be in control of situations
then Mars somewhat muted energy can feel uncomfortable and you may feel insecure and a lack of confidence.
Given this I think it's interesting to note that since Mars entered its retrograde shadow
phase at Christmas there have been a rash of suicides by high ranking bankers in the
world that has increased over this past month as we near Mars station retrograde on March
1st. With headlines that read: Bankers have never been so insecure, sounds like a Mars
retrograde effect to me. When your natural Martian drive is in balance you will
feel motivated to look more within yourself to access your intuition about how best to
act and bring more harmony into your life situation and relationships.
Mars is conjunct the North Node and two - First Degree Magnitude Stars Spica and Arcturus.
Both Stars are associated with wealth, riches and fame and the physical action and drive
of Mars is highly favored by these Stars!
Mars station retrograde conjunct the North Node, Spica and Arcturus represents strong
activation of your life purpose and receiving internal guidance for your way forward.
When a planet is retrograde it is closer to the earth and its influence magnified. During
Mars Retrograde your desire for action takes on an internal focus.
It's an excellent time for Active listening. Check in with yourself about what you truly
desire in situations and in your relationships. You can now burn and release relationships
and relationship patterns that are not genuinely supportive of you. And you will now know the
difference.
Being intuitive and reflective before taking action meets with success during Mars Retrograde
in Libra. While driving ahead despite signals that tell you to slow down and consider matters
in a fair balanced way will meet with more resistance than usual.
Saturn the ruler of your perception of Time is stationed in Scorpio a water sign. The
water element has a disorienting effect on your usual experience of time.
On March 2nd Saturn stations retrograde further exacerbating the effect of your disorientation
to time. Additionally Scorpio's old ruler is the planet Mars. Mars station retrograde
in Libra the sign just before Scorpio further disorients you. Saturn in Scorpio is also
trine to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer both water signs. You may
feel like you're wading waist deep in water as you try to orient to your usual sense of
time.
Your disorientation is helpful as it opens you to shifts in your behavior patterns and
making necessary changes.
On April 14th the day before our First Eclipse of 2014 the planet Pluto at 13º Capricorn
stations Retrograde adding intensity to the Lunar Eclipse a few hours later on April 15th.
On April 15th The Total Lunar Eclipse at 25º Libra is conjunct Mars Retrograde exact at
12:42am PT. This is a total Lunar Eclipse (and gives the appearance of a Blood Red Moon)
and occurs on the day of Passover.
On April 15th, the day of the Lunar Eclipse we have our most exact Cardinal Grand Cross
yet. The Cardinal Grand Cross is made up of four intersecting 90º angles formed by several
planets in the sky. And two Oppositions. Uranus, Mercury and the Sun in Aries opposes the Moon
conjunct Mars in Libra. And Jupiter in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn. These oppositions
bring opportunity for illumination and clarity.
The planets making up the Grand Cross are in the Cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Capricorn
and Cancer). Those with personal planets and points (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, ASC
or MC in a Cardinal sign from about 10 - 27º will feel this Cardinal Grand Cross the most
strongly.
On April 15th there are numerous planetary alignments influencing how the energies constellated
will play out. Generally though there's strong activation for collective awakening and change
that is supported by harmonious alignments between planets. For more insights about the
celestial events occurring on this day watch my Libra Lunar Eclipse video.
On May 19th Mars stations Direct at 9º Libra. There could be a bit of a whip on the tail
of this Mars Retrograde with sudden or erratic energy being released. It's great for clearing
out cellular debris and toxins from your physical and emotional bodies though you could feel
strong unexplained impulses or sense of urgency. Well those are my horoscope predictions for
Mars Retrograde in Libra. My next Bi-weekly Moonscopes Astrology Video
will be for the 26º Virgo Full Moon on March 16th through the 9º Aries New Moon on March
30th. The Aries New Moon will be exactly opposite the point where Mars will station Direct in
Libra on May 19th. This means that what you start at the Aries New Moon on March 30th
will get a tremendous boost when Mars goes Direct. So you'll want to take advantage of
that and make plans for it. YOU CAN BOOK a private session with me for
a more personal look at how Mars Retrograde may be affecting you.
