We live in a world of cycles — of balancing energies. June finds Mars retrograding, slowing “to a crawl” and beginning “to reverse through the sign of Aquarius”, giving us the “message to slow down and take life easier. We might find that our energy isn’t there, and progress is hard to come by. this is particularly likely for those influenced by Mars: Aries, Scorpio and Aquarius.” They will benefit from being “more gentle and tolerant with themselves and others, and life in general. For everyone else, Mars will be affecting a particular area of life” — so consult your natal chart and progression forecasts for specific guidance “on how to work harmoniously with the Mars energies. We might experience a lack of will, motivation, energy and power. When Mars retrogrades …. it’s not a time to be overly ambitious or competitive, nor is it favorable to initiate new ventures, projects, groups or businesses”. Any aggressive behavior can end in failure. “Any country that initiates an act of aggression under a retrograde Mars is likely to come off worse — this is not a time to pick a fight with your neighbor or to initiate court proceedings.” Particularly in the last week of June “when Mars is in full retrograde motion” — it would be a good time to take a vaca from all the hustle and bustle of high-intensity endeavors. Before June 26th Mars is moving parallel with the south node — that node acting “much like a black hole” for Martian energies, and “any act of aggression initiated” in June could potentially dissolve. Mars “represents the ability to take action and get things done, however we are living in a time of excessive Mars energy” and could benefit in a lessening of the steady intensity of militancy. “Throughout much of the month we have a harmonious grand trine featuring Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Neptune, suggesting softness and synchronicity, spiritual growth and gentle feminine energy.” The more ‘laid-back’ types will find June more pleasant, but “Type A personalities could meet with some kind of failure, whether it’s from lack of energy, a failed project or something backfires”. So we might as well CHOOSE to slow down, shift our attention to enjoying life and what we already have, make time for play and fun, spend more time in nature and just RELAX! “Follow your heart, tune into your soul’s wisdom, and find yourself in the right place at the right time doing the right thing….tap into a simpler way of living and a more soulful way to conduct your life”, moving into ‘softness’ or mindfulness. Soft time “invites us to live more in sync with our natural rhythms, go a little slower, and soften our all over approach to life. To do this we need to develop a soft mind in which there is no struggle, no hard edges in our thinking, no harsh judgment of others or ourselves, and no rushing, pushing, straining, or stressing over deadlines”. We needn’t always be in competition with others or striving to impress. “Soft time is the antidote to the madness of modern life.” So, let us choose to BE ZEN, to relax and be in the flow of the current of life instead of trying to swim against it.
