The ingress to Libra concludes just over seven months of Martian vigor moving through Virgo&#8217;s mutable ground. The red planet normally requires only two months to traverse a single sign. After such a prolonged tenure as is now ending, the question is what difference it will make in your life after Mars doffs worn, dusty duds for something a bit lighter and a lot more brief. The short answer is that it will have something to do with energy. That&#8217;s because, as Robert Hand puts it, &#8220;Mars is an energy planet.&#8221; The longer answer will depend on your relationship to energy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_38984\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 260px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38984 \" title=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/astro-len-wallick-logo.jpg?resize=250%2C167&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Astrology by Len Wallick\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>You may preface the Martian translation to Libra by asking what energy means to you. How does its presence, or lack, feel inside? What forms does energy take on the outside? Most of all, what energetic patterns, starting in the last weeks of 2011, have continued until now? Answer those questions and get a baseline to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Once you grasp something of your relationship to energy, you will have a feel for how Mars most likely expresses in your life. After you get that baseline, you can further your evaluation of how Libra will modulate Martian expression by taking into account a longer continuum that was underway long before Mars&#8217; protracted stay in Virgo. <\/p>\n<p>The larger picture and background for astrology since at least 2010 is an ongoing tension, from Aries to Capricorn, actualized by Uranus and Pluto in continuous square aspect. The cardinal continuum between Uranus and Pluto, representing the intersection of your life with all life, has recently entered an aureole of time and space in which it will periodically be exact. This is intense. <\/p>\n<p>Mars will unavoidably contribute energy to that intensity after leaving Virgo because Libra is also a cardinal sign. Right now, the Sun is giving you a preview of what to expect as it applies to oppose Pluto and square Uranus from cardinal Cancer.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first third of solar Cancer is making us conscious of just how inextricable the personal is from the political. No amount of energy has been able to shore up the leaky compartments through which the awakening light is pouring. It is not easy, for many are convinced that language conveys only truth. Many are inured to babble underlain with assumptions that discern self from another and here from there. We have not yet the words to express the progress of our evolution. <\/p>\n<p>Hence, evidence of that progress feels alien, invasive, threatening, and others may appear that way. Many have been fortunate enough to be overcome, compelled to recline and wonder what that feeling is. A fortunate few have arisen reassured and composed enough to avail themselves of healing so that hospitality can be offered to others who dwell unwittingly in the same home, the same body. If the Sun can provide that much illumination in one week, imagine what Mars will bring.<\/p>\n<p>What Mars will bring to cardinal Libra is energy, and a challenge. Not, as one would reflexively expect, a challenge to endure that energy. Rather, the challenge of being refreshed by it. For seven mutable months, the energetic existence of Mars has been focused like a laser through a microscope. A purpose has been served by that period, including, now, the purpose of moving on with Mars. Move on we must. <\/p>\n<p>Mars is soon to oppose Uranus and square Pluto and we must respond by arising from the ground and trusting the air to bear us over where the ground cannot take us, allowing a telescope to replace the microscope, putting down the laser of intent and taking up the feather of faith. The fresh air of Libra will carry on its winds the beckon of its ruler, Venus, which only yesterday turned towards a long a pursuit of Mars from Gemini, symbolically carrying the means of healing expression. Until Venus catches up with Mars at its Aries lair next April, it will pursue with love just as we must pursue our grace in relationship to energy. The next step of evolution revealed takes place Tuesday. Please remember to breathe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
