Even as I sit to write this, I am in amazement at the Warrior that is me, that is you, that is us. In a time when we are often misguided into what bravery, courage and protection means I am here to tell you the Warrior Self does have a place, just nowhere near what we see everyday.
Mars rushes in
Okay, so at approximately 10:37am (EST) today, Mar. 22, 2012, the moon saunters into Aries and we begin again; another Lunar Cycle commences. Aries, the total representation of the infant in all of us holds so much love, hope, and promise for us all. Aries, seen as the Warrior is ruled by the planet Mars. Another symbol we hear much misinterpreted information about.
Turn that power around on you
Instead of flatly seeing Mars as a time to charge in all situations, let us step back and think about all of this one good time. First, Warrior energy is totally up to design by its wielder. Warrior can mean clearing of obstacles and a reinforcement of personal energy. In plain language, instead of fighting or pillaging those outside of ourselves, we can internalize the power available to us and make change of a totally different kind when Mars rules the Moon. Sound like a plan? Hope so! So be about self direction this cycle. Make it about you. And not you in a totally self involved, but rather self evolved way. Lastly, and the reason I am so excited about all of this is that all of this is done in the most subtle of ways. So, no large pronouncements or declarations, just be about the business of doing what you need to do. That's all there is to it.
Subtlety speaking to the Self
Okay, so here is what I am working on this cycle. I have put my emphasis on leadership in all aspects of my life and with the energy of Mars available to me I want to be that subtle Warrioress for Self. So, not loud or brash, but definitely bold, brazen, and bountiful. I am really putting one foot in front of the other on this one. I have no desired destination other than more connected to self and farther along this path I am walking. This works for me during the New Moon as I can count on the ability to Ground like no other time during the cycle. We will see...
What's it gonna be
