Mars turns Retrograde on Wednesday, September 9th at 28° Aries and ends on November 13th at 15° Aries. This 2-month period may feel frustrating as Mars squares Saturn, bringing delays, restrictions and interruptions. You may encounter authoritarian resistance to your projects and desires. Patience is key during this transit.

Mars signifies our ability to take action, establish healthy boundaries, to speak our truth and fight for justice. While retrograde, Mars highlights deeper hidden destructive tendencies toward victim mentality or predator behavior. Now is an opportune time to do shadow work and flush out unconscious patterns and programming that harm ourselves and others.

As we break free from the amnesia of the 3D simulation, we begin to gain a sense of self, some independent thinking, some intuition. We organically open our holographic mind to the 4D astral plane. We start to read more, learn more, absorb more new ideas, theories and perspectives. But if we haven’t started doing any shadow work, then this newfound freedom is still ego-driven (Mars in Aries). The newly awakened mind begins to feel spiritually superior to others, operating from lack of compassion or discernment.

When we work on healing core wounds, clearing discordant programming and unconscious ego patterns, we can access more 5D unity consciousness in our lives. We graduate beyond ego-driven demands and recognize our responsibility to use our power consciously in regards to how our words and actions affect the greater good. We continue to ascend into higher awareness and empathy for all life on the planet. As the heart heals, the mind expands. We learn how to master more ‘balance’ in our daily lives.

While Mars Retro squares Saturn during September, we are blessed by the cosmic balancing act. On September 22nd the Equinox arrives at 0 degree Libra, opening a stargate portal in zero point energy while day and night are equal length. It is the balance point between opposing forces. In a rare moment of galactic equilibrium, the gateway is opening to infinite potential. Take advantage of this opportune time to seed your higher visions and intentions.

The incoming solar waves of plasma energy streams from the galactic center into earth’s magnetic field, moving the poles and altering the climate. We can expect unusually powerful solar waves while the Equinox Gateway is open. Plasma is a cloud of protons and electrons transferred by the solar wind. Some warn of ‘equinox cracks’ that form in earth’s magnetic field during the equinox – we call these openings portals or stargates. While the gates are open, the cosmic light infusion affects global consciousness and cellular formation.

Join other Earth Keepers, Gridworkers and Star Beings all around the world as we gather for Equinox Gateway Global Activations on Tuesday, September 22nd. The show is recorded for replay. If you would like to participate, register here!
