Jupiter is Zeus, and since we know that Zeus hated his murderous son, I like to think of this as the moment bad boy Mars gets kicked out of the house. Nothing.Īs Mars stationed retrograde on September 9th, the Sun also trined Jupiter, creating a dynamic point of expansion. This is where we show up with whatever weapons we’ve been polishing for ourselves and we leave nothing to regret. This is why Mars Retrograde is very interesting and, if I haven’t scared you away already, why I believe that we are in for that “turning point” moment as both individuals and as a collective.
Last retrograde 2020 movie#
( If you will allow a Gemini astrologer non-sequitur aside, if there was a movie about Mars and Eris, who would you cast as them? Me, I’d cast Travis Fimmel and Margot Robbie.) In the sky, Mars is currently traveling with his sister, Eris, creating havoc. While we often look at Pluto as the bringer of sorrow in a chart, it is clear from mythology that Mars is the truest source of celestial discord. Just like most vicious and terrible young men of his caliber, Mars traveled with a group of fighters, two of which were women: Enyo, or “discord,” and his sister, Eris, or “strife.” Wherever Mars would go (in his golden-reigned chariot with his fire-breathing horses), he was also followed around by the Keres, female spirits of death dressed in crimson cloaks stained with human blood. It is said that his father, Zeus, detested him. Homer writes about Ares as if he is a daft, bloodthirsty bro. Mars is the Roman name of the Greek god, Ares. It is that moment when you decide to fight the societal programming that Terence McKenna calls a “culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced hallucination.” What have you been fighting for all along? Do you even know? Mars is going retrograde so you can take the time to know. Metanoia is a mirror: a reflection of your soul in times of wanting, desire, and conflict. In Greek and Roman poetry, Metanoia is a shadow goddess whose name translates simply to “afterthought.” Metanoia is the grief that you have over that missed moment in time where you could have done something differently.
It is the moment where we turn to the light after tending to our deepest regrets. It is a turning point: a profound transmigration of our souls into another body – the body of the warrior within us. Despite the social unrest, the pandemic (which my Welsh psychic calls “The Situation”), the economic shit show, and the general anger of Gaia, this is not the apocalypse it is the completion of a cycle. I know it’s a lot, but this is chaos magick at work. What is your deepest regret? How does it create a longing within you to make amends? Hypothetically – not literally – but if this was the end of the world, what would your most pressing and driving desire be? Retrograde moments are all about the “re-” aspect: rewind, remember, rework. When the planets are retrograde, they are as close as possible to the Earth, so they affect us on a transcendental (but also primal) level. The fact that this happens after the United States election and right before the inauguration is intense.
Mars will stay retrograde until November 13th of this year and then hang out in sword-clanging Aries until early January of next year. Mars went Retrograde in Aries on September 9th. To be fair, to be blunt, and to be a tough-love-yet-essentially-optimistic friend, those days are upon us. The celestial forecast has you blasting Lingua Ignota, buying your new all-black Mad Max wardrobe, and looking for properties along the Canadian border, just in case you need to make a quick exit into kinder territory before the end of the world. There are some days where, as an astrologer in 2020, you are seven cups of herbal tea deep into fighting off an astro-inspired panic attack.
