Mars has stationed retrograde, and you may be wondering where your mojo went!😉 Mars is the planet which inspires us, ignites our passion, and motivates us to take action👊When it is travelling backwards (at least from our perspective here on earth) it can make it *much stickier* to get things done.
I have a very pronounced Mars in my chart, which comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me well. I am often asked where all of my energy comes from and whether I ever sit still, lol! And while I appreciate all of this vigour, sometimes it makes it hard to just, well, REST!😴💤
Even the Energizer Bunny Needs a Break!🐰
I actually feel that this Mars retrograde is right on time. We are 10 days away from the December Solstice, a time where daylight is scarce and the long nights of winter loom. Winter is a time to rest, to spend time in one’s own company, quietly contemplating. Having the planet of action on a “vacation” seems to support the essence of this season. It’s an opportunity to stop rushing around, stop hustling, stop pushing to get your whole to do list finally finished❄️
Holiday☑️ Rest?❌
This is contrary to how many people spend their holiday season. Many of us hurry from one social event to the next, barely registering the places and faces we see. And don’t even get me started on the mad rush all over town and the internet to find the perfect gift! 🎁
This year, I am away for just over a week in early December - yes, I’m travelling during Mercury AND Mars retrogrades, so I’ll let you know how I fare!😳😱 While I am missing some cherished annual events, part of me is enjoying the more open space in my social calendar.
Santa Isn't the Only One Making a List and Checking it Twice!🎅🏻
Are your holiday plans unfolding with ease and in a way that supports your intention for how you’d like to experience connection? If not, what can you change? Mars retro wants you to reevaluate and consider what needs adjustment📝
“But I don’t want to disappoint my loved ones!” you say. The pressure is real. And we can’t fill others from an empty vessel. I know it can be hard to set boundaries when we have been lax in this area of life in the past. But if nothing changes, nothing changes!🛑
Let's Get Started!🟢
1-Get clear on your needs; what do you want to experience over the holidays? How do you want to feel?☑️
2-Based on your needs, share your top 3 priorities with your loved ones and find out how they want to experience the holidays.☑️
3-Make a request! Be specific and ask your loved ones if they are willing to take action to respond to your ask.☑️
If you are seeking rest and relaxation💆♀️and your partner wants to socialize through the holiday, attending party after party🕺your needs will be out of sync. Compromise will be required to reach common ground so that you both can enjoy the holiday season🤩
Top of My List: Love & Connection💗
