Elemental Mars & Anger

Water Mars: Deep emotional anger, anger is almost always associated with an emotional stimuli. High chance of being angry criers. Anger is held deeply inside the psyche. Emotions overflow into the anger, making the anger more overwhelming for longer.

Earth Mars: Slow to anger but angry for a while. Usually has a couple different reasons for anger. Tries not to show ugly anger. High tolerance for control of anger but does have a limit. Harbors anger but tries not to let it cloud their ambitions.

Air Mars: fleeting anger that is usually suppressed by logic. Verbal attacks, or rational attacks. Either eeriliy calm when super angry, or go completely batshit. No in between. Unpredictable anger when reached a certain limit.

Fire Mars: Impulsive anger. Quick to ignite but flutters out quickly. Anger and passion can be blurred by others. Can swing into and out of anger. Emotionally driven anger, but not as deep as Water. Dry anger that usually is loud and brash, demands to be noticed.

The natal chart shouldn’t be something that conjures up feelings of restriction or being boxed into categories, but something to look at and think, what can I make from this? What talents and quirks and virtues have I got innately in me? And what can I put out into the world?

It is the foundation, the roots, and from it, we bloom.

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius December 3rd-22nd 2017

 🏹 Cerebral Valium

“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, “What else could this mean?” - Shannon Alder

The event of Mercury retrograding is an illusion in the sky. An illusion we seem to make all to real. The author inside our minds keeps backspacing our thoughts, we can really stumble over our words. Like the wire that attaches the brain to the mouth is tangled. The clever and the chaos becomes a flatline hum. Cerebral valium, necessary but frustrating. What if the Mercury retrograde effected us so much we got confused about it being Mercury retrogade? For people very in tune with quick and acute mental faculties, they can feel lost in life without the mind. Mercury is already debilitated in Sagittarius, so the experience can be very surreal. 

♡♡ Is this information valid? ♡♡ Do my thoughts match up with my inner values?Is this the right occasion to share my thoughts? ♡♡Do I need to be alone to figure this out? ♡♡Do I need to gather more information? 

How can you be restless but tired at the same time? Sagittarius is a very dual sign and equally distributes energy through the body and mind. Sagittarius is also active and aspirant, so it can be rattling when Mercury is having a relaxing sunny vacation. The normal acuity we have in conversation, writing, and learning seems inhibited, but not seemingly for the whole retrograde. We usually adjust after only a few days, Mercury is very flexible. The old rhetoric around not signing contracts and reduced punctuality is basically highlighting that you may not be applying your usual attention to detail and therefore may overlook important details or forget the train schedule. It also means that the person operating the train timetable can do the same. It doesn’t imply that every circumstance around communication, transport, business, and paperwork is inherently ill fated. It just means that you may need to apply more care and discrimination around these matters. Because Mercury rules the hands and dexterity, we can become more clumsy, i’ve already cracked my iphone screen lol. 

Just breathe now. you won’t miss out on anything - no one is talking sense anyway! Take time to breathe. Mercury rules the lungs. It will clear your mind immensely. If you managed to read this all the way, you can see that Mercury retrograde hasn’t stung you too much

rhodochrosite rosettes on quartz

adults, while forcing all children above the age of 5 to sit still, be silent, and obey orders for 7-8 hours a day with minimal breaks, reducing their exposure to fresh air and sunlight to almost nothing, forcing them to alter their natural sleeping patterns to increase productivity, and repeatedly telling them their self worth depends on their being able to follow these instructions perfectly for 13 or more years: kids these days are so lazy! they never go outside! they never want to do anything! clearly it’s not because of us!
