Mars is the planet of desire; Leo is one of the most poignant signs of passion. Mars is retrograde. I’m curious how you’re experiencing this within your desire nature.
I’ve been giving myself permission to want who and what I want, and to be open with them about it. I am practicing this as a fully conscious yoga.
This may seem like nothing new, but most of what you’ve read that I’ve written about my sexuality or sexual ideas are describing a work in progress; a growing toward. All of it — to the last word — is either an adaptation to my environment, or the envisioning of a new environment and sexual ethos where I can be free and can invite others to be free.
I’ve never accepted that someone else could dictate for me what was right or wrong, appropriate or not; though I haven’t always felt good about holding my space, and this is my goal, or one of them. I’m learning that I have good judgment which includes knowing that if I don’t take some risks, nothing will happen: and by risks I mean reaching out. I’m still working out the part about standing on both feet in my heart center; sometimes I still feel shaky on my pins — there are so many reasons and occasions to doubt. I do keep noticing an inner backlash and sometimes an outer backlash each time I take step toward being real(er), and then I work through the energy and enjoy the landscape when I can; and see who is there to keep company with and tune into what they want and see if there’s a place we can meet.
