Mars will be retrograde from January 23 till April 13th. Mars is known as the planet of war and anger but, on closer inspection, it is the power that gives us life. We all need Mars in our lives for it has to do with energy. It rules blood and circulation that oxygenates our bodies. Blood and the color red give energy and our life force. Without a strong Mars in a chart, nothing can be accomplished, for Mars rules ambition, drive and assertive force. Displaced energy results in the negative definitions of Mars, as in war and anger, but positive use of Mars energy brings out the necessary components of Mars, which leads to attainment of worldly success. When you are complacent, the motivating force is usually Mars in the guise of anger. When anger is provoked, we usually get things done. There are more complaint letters written to companies than good letters. This force can be harnessed and used in positive and fruitful ways. Mars can activate the peaceful warrior and create the changes we need in our lives and world. As Mars is now retrograde, issues concerning Mars become intensified and this energy becomes displaced. This will be obvious during this retrograde phase occurring right now. The negative effects of Mars will surface so we can recognize and see what needs to be addressed and changed within our own personal lives as well as global views. Issues of anger, frustration and rage manifest. It is time to realize what is motivating our anger so we can heal what is limiting ourselves. It is not about blaming others but realizing what within ourselves is preventing us from our achieving our goals. Harnessing the power of Mars positively can be the healing force that unlocks your potential to achieve your desires. But, as Mars is retrograde, drive and ambition will be suppressed for it is time for introspection of our inner drive and desire; this is revealed through what motivates us, especially through anger. All successful businessmen and sports legends have a strong Mars. Furthermore, when we lose our drive to achieve, we lose our quest for living. Life is a fight, for achievement involves some struggle. But for some, the fight and struggle is a challenge so they are prompted to try even harder because then it becomes a game and competition. This motivates one to rise and beat the competition but, one day, they tire and become weary for the constant struggle loses its appeal. This is when the Mars energy begins to dry up. Mars is about the conquest but there is never an end to this, for there will always be younger more ambitious competitors to beat. Usually, once you have achieved the desired goal, the next level is to teach, for the ultimate goal that gives the most personal satisfaction is to empower others. Interestingly, Mars rules intelligence and, to beat opponents in any game, it doesn’t just take sheer brut and force to conquer the opponent; it takes strategy and this is relevant in sports, war and business. Now, do you see the link in all of life’s games? It’s all about outdoing and winning over the opponent. It takes will, determination, ambition, drive, energy, courage, intelligence and assertiveness to win any game -- the game is life. Mars in the signs of Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn gives Mars the most power. Listed are examples of legendary individuals with an extraordinarily strong Mars: • Joe Paterno, -- Mars in Aries: Legendary college football coach It is known that, when people retire from long standing jobs, their health declines, leading to an exit from this world. They feel no purpose or meaning in their lives. This leads to loss of drive, ambition and the desire to live. This is a loss of the Mars energy or life force. Example: Loss of Mars energy, Joe Paterno Drive and ambition is a common denominator in all these ambitious, driven people. But when the drive is taken away, the desire to live is extinguished, as was the case in long-running legend Joe Paterno. He was the coach of Penn State for 46 years and had the biggest winning streak ever for a college coach. He just died at age 85, after he was fired in disgrace in light of the recent child molestation cases in which he was associated. Immediately after the public disgrace, he was fired in November then diagnosed with lung cancer the same month; he died just 2 months later January 22 2012. This loss destroyed his will (Mars) to live. In the month of November, transiting Saturn entered into Libra, which began to aspect his natal Mars in Aries which killed his desire to live, for his life purpose died as well.
