VALIDATING MARS
“Mars creates conflict. Conflicts reveals our wisdom. They reveal our strengths. They reveal our weaknesses. Conflict can push us past what is comfortable and towards what we need to develop within ourselves.
Mars moves us. Mars is energy. Red, hot, untamed energy. Mars is drive. Mars is passion. Mars makes us aware of our desires. Our desire to be an individual. Our desires to do what we want. Our desires are dangerous if we deny them. They demand entrance into our life. Desires are not arbitrary. Desires are road maps that lead us toward our potential.” - Chani Nicholas
It’s a Mars Mars time for all of us! I feel the energy and motion or lack thereof, of my own. My Mars happens to be in the workaholic sign of Virgo. And ironically my work has never been clear cut, given its in the most hidden house. I just started a new part-time job to gain financial momentum. There is a concentration of Mars through the initial stellium in Aries that remains present. I now accept my position and place in the battle field of life.
Not having much of the visible male energy around in my home, after daddy took off, leaving a void in the Martian side of my heart. But I had to learn how to defend myself with no daddy or masculine figure around and available. I was sensitive and peaceful but I fought back if anyone tried to fuck with me.
Standing with my back turned one day in class, I was attacked from the rear. A classmate and obvious enemy hit me. My instinct was to hit back and I did just that. I let a punch roll on her jaw. I kicked and slapped her down. We were in the classroom, but the session was over and we were in between sunbjects. Don’t recall where the teacher was or what became of that. One thing’s for sure I was not the trouble making type. I was more of the good smart girl. A fine example for others because they say I embodied, brains, body and did not hold back my blows. And as time went they became verbal blows! This is the side to me that didn’t come out unless there is a cause to fight. And I am known to fight with words. My pen is my sword.
I grew up in a peaceful nation where war in relationships were never hindered or prevented. We threw “pqweety”. Haha… I know I got the spelling wrong of of that tongue twister but make no mistake I know how to pronouce that African native slang. Pqweety means “to fight”, to throw someone down! To engage the warrior!
As Mars begins to slow down (retrograde) his war flaming chariot, it is shifting the full force of the Sun and Uranus in Aries into lower gear. I’ve already had sandpaper and open encounters with two women I know through social media. Not face to face but remotely. Nevertheless. I am well aware of my Taurus Moon’s ease and groundedness that was implemented time and time again while growing up in an explosive Aries dominated home.
Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride! No body’s gonna hold me down!
Due to the lower vibrations of Mars cultivated and practiced by those men that came before us, we tend to hate and despise war for all the wrong reasons. War has lost its honor, its glory, its respect as a result. But we are war driven by nature, war instigators by habit. It is our natural urge to protect and defend; a built in instinct. It is also in charge of our sexual currents and passion filled acts. Without Mars we would be flat, monotone, weak and lazy,
This Mars retrograde in Sagittarius seeks to help us see WAR in a higher way. We have stopped fighting for what we heartfully know and believe. We have become complacent, compliant, cozy and comfortable in living lies and lying about our living.
During this retrograde…take time to get to know your Mars a bit more. Find out what the sexy or not do sexy inner man in you is like - if you are a woman. There is something beautifully sexy, wholesome amd balanced about a radiant Mars. Stand up for what you believe! Stand up for love! If you don’t you will fall for anything!
Love and peace are both worth fighting for! You can be a peaceful warrior! Or a tyrannical one. The choice is yours. I’d rather die fighting with honor than live without the integrity of my soul.

Always spot on.
Always surrender.
“It’s hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That’s part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can’t refuse anything and can’t even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.” ― Cherise Sinclair

GAZE. See through me. Beyond me. Vitreous. Brittle steel.
Transparent. scantly obscured gossamer whims, rooted cravings battle respectable decorum’s fogged visibility.
hidden truths. sheathed, guarded, mired, locked away | deserted. neglected.strength. costumed soul of everyday / naked musings rampant, concealed, veiled verbiage. Intuitions press beyond comforts edges | exalted in anonymity. soft. glorious. docile creature. / pliable in unrestrained surrender.
Earned entrée / junction, terror and rapture.
Penetrate the myths.
Unveil. Witness. Bring her to light.
Scratch. Peel. Expose. | Wrangle. Secure. Reap.
See me now. See me now. Please.

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
