For the next several months, the current of will runs backward. The polarities are reversed. If you’re used to barreling through life and getting what you want, you might feel stymied. If you’re used to controlling yourself to manage others, you may find new options available.

Mars likes for us to make our mark out there, to be a channel through which life force moves outward. But in its ostensible retrograde motion, it wants to move inward. It wants to take in, to direct aggression inward. It’s like there’s a dark veil covering that channel of life force and we’re trying to reopen the current. It’s quite frustrating.

Following the flow of energy tends to work well, so if you can’t get traction out there, you can seek to bring light and vitality to the inner world. You might find what you sought dwelled in the dark places inside all along.
