Eyes in the Sky: Mars combined Ketu –
Express your power with love
Let’s say you’ve seen young children on a playground. In that case, you will find that they naturally express their anger. They get upset and then put it out completely and then move as if nothing happened. Anger is a natural emotion, often indicating unfulfilled desires. Children release it easily, but adults tend to suppress it. Until it accumulates and explodes. Such suppression is dangerous.
Mars is heading for a connection with Leo Ketu. In the average node system, accurate conjunctions occur on July 21st, but in the true node system, they reach a peak around July 26th. This energy is felt strongly between July 13th and 31st, as the two planets remain within 5 degrees of each other.
Mars/Ketu conjunctions are its best potential, and call on humanity to act on the highest ideals, particularly through leadership in the service of others, as Leo represents. However, if these ideals become frustrated or blocked, they can cause anger and violence. Like I said before, don’t waste your energy infuriated by things you can’t control. Instead, it leads to frustration into action. Volunteers, serve others, or support causes that are important to you.
This transport prevents you from being confident in your own strength and leadership, especially if you are struggling to express these qualities. It is particularly relevant at this time for women. If you are restrained, this is your moment to step up.
The Mars/Ketu combination also likes fields such as engineering and mathematics, making it the perfect time to focus on inventions and structured problem solving. For the rising signs of Scorpio and Aries, this alignment promotes mental breakthroughs and enhances intuition as Ketu is the most spiritual of the nodule of the planet. Think about a retreat in meditation and deepen your daily spiritual practices. Other secular pursuits may feel frustrated or unfulfilled.
On a wider scale, this bond is volatile to the planet and is often associated with violence and terrorism. In particular, the St. Louis and Milwaukee race riots and the 9/11 attacks occurred during the MARS/KETU alignment. I hope things are calm this time, but perhaps too cold for anxiety, but this is a reminder to find a constructive outlet for your emotions. Write a letter and post thoughtfully on social media or contact your representative. Don’t bottle things.
To the extreme, this energy can appear as an accident, fire, burns, or explosion. Not only for your own safety, but also because others may be careless or distracted.
The silver lining of this conjunction is an opportunity to confront and transform your unconscious fear and oppressed anger. If Leo or cancer is prominent on the charts, make time to exercise or engage in healthy competitions. This is a safe and effective way to relieve pent-up stress.
In groups, this energy can incite an irrational flame of fear that is often amplified by the media. The situation of ice and deportation policies could escalate, similar to efforts by opposition groups. Please leave it grounded and not be wiped out by hysteria.
From a global perspective based on the birth charts in our database, this Mars/Ketu combination of Leo will have a stronger impact on North Korea, Spain, Canada and Yemen than the US.
Yoga and movement are usually great tools for balancing, but be kind to yourself. Practical exercise can exacerbate the VATA (AIR) element and lead to more anxiety. Take Mars-inspired advice from Nike. This transit can lead to a slow, clogged feeling, but even small actions can help move energy. The exchange of mutual homes between Saturn and Mars could potentially contribute to inertia by both Tamasic planets.
This transit affects people who have important planets between 21-30 Leo or Aquarius, and those who are running the Dasha era on Mars/Ketu/Marts. Especially if those planets occupy the fourth, sixth, or eighth house due to the ascendant of Taurus, Pisces, or Caticus. If so, take special care while driving to avoid unnecessary risks. Otherwise, there is no need for an alarm. Stay emotionally honest with alerts.
Quote Forest Gump“Life is like a box of chocolate.” Some are sweet this season, while others are difficult to chew. But don’t let the Grinch steal your joy on this holiday. Express your emotions in a healthy way. Be kind. Please return it. Donate to your favorite charity. There are many needs around the world right now.
