Mars goes direct tomorrow!
Yesterday's Oracle Report:
We enter the Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) phase of the lunar month later today (around 2:30 pm ET/6:30 pm UT). Third Quarter Moon phase is essentially the days of the lunar month that complete the month's theme (which could also be considered a mission). This month's theme of the inner self rising forth, with a fortified will, is polished up, polished off, revised, and realigned. We come to a reassessment of the status of the situations, circumstances, feelings, ideas, and beliefs.
Something very important also happens during this Third Quarter Moon phase: Mars, The Titan, straightens up and flies right. Mars will station direct or appear to move forward in the sky once again on Wednesday. It has been "backwards" since April 18, 2016, moving backward in time, so to speak.
When planets retrograde, they re-work things. Mars does not retrograde often. It only does so once every two years. When it does, it re-works how we use our energy -- our time, resources, attention, and love. It endeavors to help us see what is better for us, and move in those directions. Mars is ACTIVE. The energy needs to move. It rules headstrong, impulsive, fiery, motivated Aries. Mars is not at all "comfortable" when it retrogrades. Progress and momentum are elusive. Frustration, anxiety, and impatience mount.
Over the next two days, as Mars prepares to move forward again, it is basically "on lock." It is barely moving. Struggling against its nature, Mars is at a virtual standstill as it churns out the last vestiges of the energetics of "crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man." Messages have come down for each of us. The next two days are key for getting the message.
Things may have to come to what seems like a stop before they begin to move forward again. Knowing this can save us a lot of hardship. Forcing things will not work. It is a waste of time and energy.
But when it does move forward, on Wednesday, Mars is going to dart back onto its course with a vengeance. Strength and vigor are renewed. Our energy is refreshed from Mars' clean sweep.
Beautifully, Mars will station direct just before we begin the energetics of a new quarter of the solar-lunar year. Every quarter, the energetics change dramatically. This occurs in full force on July 4, with the New Moon in Cancer. It is a shift or pivot point in the year. It is the "First Quarter" time of the year, the time when we step out of our comfort zone and take action. (On the Medicine Wheel, we move from the East to the South.)
Today, messages come "down from the mountain" with Mars, but also with the Earth discharging the energetic of "a veiled prophet speaks, seized by the power of a god." The higher octave of this energetic works for the highest and best for all. The lower octave can make it hard to know what to trust. It is advised to hold any important action or decision until after Wednesday.
Mercury reinforces the idea of "holding" as it disseminates "winter frost in the woods." The foundation, structure, or root of things is being reinforced. It is coursing under the surface, even if we cannot feel it.
Finally, the Sun adds the energetic of "two fairies dancing on a moonlit night." It is a "reveling" and "retiring" type of energy. It rejoices in effervescence. It is light. I love this symbol and its energy. Pay special attention to dreams when you sleep tonight (whenever that is for you in your place on the world). Dreams are often prophetic when this frequency is discharged.
Let's dance out the Moonlit Night of Mars with grace and, if we are really wise, with gratitude.
(P.S. The Mahavidya Bagalamukhi wishes to remind us that Mars stationed retrograde at the degree of "a mother leads her small child step by step up the stairs." This energetic has effectively been in place during Mars' entire retrograde.
Bagala wishes to remind us that we are STRONGER from Mars' retrograde and the first quarter of this solar-lunar year. The INNER CHILD has been brought forth for healing. The "early wounds" are shown to us so that we can move past them. Look to the root cause (of any fear), and then leave it be. It was formative, but not almighty. We are much greater than our fears, and we have the power to do things differently.)
Today's Oracle Report:
Mars continues to build pressure and intensity as it prepares to station direct tomorrow. The Moon in Aries, ruled by Mars, is adding another layer of "Mars-ness" into the day. Mars' retrograde has been re-working how we use our time, energy, and love, and how we assert our will and desire in the world.
Surprises and sudden events within the churning chaos of Mars may occur, with the Moon moving toward conjunction with Uranus, the Planet of Changes, today. Exact conjunction is at 8:18 pm ET/00:18 am UT.
The Earth is discharging the Sabian symbol energetic of "birds in the house singing happily." The theme of home is rather strong right now with Mercury making conjunction with the Galactic Center (our spiritual "home," according to the ancient Gnostics) overnight last night. Mars' standstill is complicating things, but the Earth offers a counter energetic of Oneness to stabilize things, even if they are very active.
Two other energetics are in place today that can bring up feelings of overwhelm or disappointment. Venus discharges "a very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast," and Mercury is discharging "society granting bankruptcy to him, a man leaves the court." Mind spaces can become very dark and self-persecuting with this combination. But second chances, acceptance of responsibility, and courage to find a higher truth also accompanies them.
Keep in mind that it is difficult to advance or progress things until after Mars stations direct tomorrow. Some things may be crashing and burning, but all in service of revising, rectifying, and realigning toward growth and evolution. (The Sabian symbol for the degree where Mars stationed retrograde is "a mother leads her small child step by step up the stairs," and so we are being led to higher awareness and experience.)
In the "slingshot" of Mars' retrograde, tomorrow the sling reaches as far back as it can go and shoots forward, releasing the long pressure build up of the retrograde. Since Mars has retrograded into Scorpio, a water sign, the slingshot opens up floodgates. "Cracks" may already be occurring, as in the Sabian symbol energetic of "a broken bottle and spilled perfume" that was in place at this month's New Moon in Gemini on June 4. Things are being let out or released suddenly. We want to contain or moderate this as much as we can.
Impulsivity, anger, conflict, and aggression are the common things that Mars brings. This we know. But Mars also brings us the inner fortitude to carry on. It brings our hopes, wishes, and dreams to life. Without the action of Mars, things would be stagnant. And stagnant is not the way of the Universe.
Let's hold on loosely, remembering that the fellowship of humanity is more edgy, temperamental, anxious, careless, reckless, impulsive, angry, depressed, and in sensory-overload. The human species was not originally intended to withstand the bombardment of a multi-planet system (and thus multiple simultaneous retrogrades of planets), but here we are, and here we are with our mettle. Here we are persevering against all odds.
We are the Children of Sophia and Thelete, and we have only just begun.

Mars retrograde is allllmost over...today's Oracle Report from Laura Walker:
The pressure on the slingshot of Mars' retrograde is released today, ending its journey backward. The time of Mars reworking how we use our time, energy, resources, and love ends at 7:40 pm ET/11:40 pm UT tonight.
The day a planet stations retrograde or direct is always "intensive." By definition, the energetic is changeable. Courses and directions are changed. The day is usually eventful, personally and collectively. Things can get very "strange."
When the Sun rises tomorrow (or whenever it rises after 7:40 pm ET wherever you are on Earth), the full energetic of Mars' retrograde will have released. The Sun has to rise again before an energetic is fully over.
So, like yesterday, we understand that the magic carpet ride is wild today, and begins to move forward after two months of "sightseeing" from other perspectives. Mars' retrograde has shown us many things and has re-worked many things.
In addition to the intensity of Mars' stationing direct, today we have a few other astrological aspects in effect at the same time. I will break these down chronologically, but keep in mind that the energetic is in effect all day, not just at the exact time of the aspect:
6:03 am ET/10:03 am UT: Moon moves into Taurus, opposing the Black Moon, and making for a Black Moon Day. Black Moon Days happen for a couple of days two times per month. This is one of them. Black Moon Days bring the opportunity to grow -- the opportunity for rebirth. Our shadow sides tend to come out to show us something very clearly. Anything that we are fearful about comes to the surface.
Right now, the fear of loss and the fear of loss of security are heightened. Insecurities about ourselves can creep in. We can feel the grief of a loss (no matter how long ago or how recently it occurred) very deeply. The Black Moon endeavors to resolve these issues when it is activated. This is concentrated for those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Taurus or Scorpio, since the Black Moon is moving through Scorpio until Valentine's Day 2017.
Fears of these kind incite us toward "in-filling" or indulging (overindulging) in something (food, alcohol, drugs, shopping, saving, anything) to stem or ward off the discomfort of the feelings. One of the energetics Venus is discharging today is "a group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it." Be safe and be healthy if you are working through this.
11:05 am ET to 12:45 pm ET/ 3:05 pm UT to 4:45 pm UT: The Moon will conjunct the Chiron Point (ah, didn't we just do the Chiron Point?!) and bring about a window of time when painful feelings and losses are keen -- sharp even. Chiron always aims to heal and teach, so there is something to learn here.
If you are struggling with the energetics today, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you listen to music. Music is a prescription. It recalibrates or realigns the brain and heart. A new piece of music may be very helpful. Your intuition will guide you to the right music.
1:21 pm ET/5:21 pm UT: The Moon opposes the Black Moon. The Moon will be discharging the energetic that I have come to dislike reporting on: "a widow at an open grave." Despair, feelings of failure, and "open wounds" accompany this energetic. But new opportunities and today's theme of rebirth also come. The Black Moon is discharging the energetic of "a massive rocky shore resist the pounding of the sea." So no matter how bombarded we feel, we know we are strong enough to stand.
7:25 pm ET/11:25 pm UT: Mercury enters Cancer. Before it does so, it discharges the energetic of "a parade of bathing beauties before large beach crowds." It's always "a show" when this one is in effect. Mercury in Cancer turns our thoughts toward nurturance, support, and care. Feelings can move in new directions.
7:40 pm ET/11:40 pm UT: MARS STATIONS DIRECT. Hallelujah. And the Earth is discharging "an angel carrying a harp" to play it out. I don't think I have ever wished for a retrograde to end (even a Mercury retrograde!) more than this one. The retrograde period that began on April 18, 2016 ends today. Tomorrow we will see the board and see the field more clearly. Things may seem very far out of reach today, especially with the Sun discharging "a small naked girl bends over a pond trying to catch a fish," Jupiter discharging "a volcanic eruption," and Venus later discharging "a man studying a mandala in front of him with the help of an ancient book." The way things are today are not necessarily the way they will be tomorrow or in the future, for that matter. We hold the line and wait for the energetic to clear out before we jump in. New ways and new ways around obstacles are finding their ways to us.
I should mention that we are also building toward Venus making opposition with Pluto tomorrow. This dynamic affects relationships, and it is a VERY strong duo.
Overall, today we will spread our wise owls wings ALL OVER the world in a flurry that encompasses Gaia Sophia and the fellowship of humanity. Today we wait, patiently.
Much love and Happy Mars Direct!

From Aeolian Heart (http://aeolianheart.com/):
On Wednesday, June 29th, Mars finally goes direct in Scorpio after having been in retrograde since April 17th.
Feelings of restraint and frustration may slowly begin to dissipate, but rather than feeling liberated, you may feel more like standing still, gazing upon your current situation with an unblinking thousand yard stare. . .

Cool thanks Maddie! I like Lee Harris' updates. Happy Mars direct!

Today's Oracle Report:
Monday, July 18, 2016
Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic
Moon in Capricorn
Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Dhumavati, Goddess Who Winnows and Sorts
Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South
Skill: bend like a willow tree
True Alignments: transitioning, patience, weathering, overcoming obstacles, perseverance, expressing feelings through creativity and respect, learning, following an ancient tradition or lineage, discipline, shift in point of view, unity of humanity, seeing beyond apparent darkness
Catalysts for Change: power and control issues at the micro and macro levels, authoritarian, undisciplined, angry blow ups and confrontations, addiction to drama, greed, materialism, homogenous, powerlessness, brain washing and mind control, not letting go, restricted or held back
Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a very old man facing a vast, dark space to the northeast" (facing forward/facing off/facing self/facing The Void)
Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet (ride) of Oriental imagery" (transcending the past, transcending the unraveling control system)
All roads lead to Liberty.
No matter what any given situation appears to be - no matter how sad, no matter how heartbreaking, no matter how disheartening, no matter how inhumanly twisted - it ultimately leads to the liberation of humanity. It leads to liberation from the archontic infection.
This is a divine mission undertaken by higher spiritual forces, "backed up" by a contingent of humanity so that the true course of humanity is restored to its original, yet enhanced, capability.
The Wisdom Goddesses (aspects of Gaia Sophia - Mother Earth) and the Gods of Will (aspects of Thelete - Father Sky) wish us to deeply integrate this understanding: all roads lead to liberty.
The reason they wish us to understand this is because things are not making sense at all. The reason behind this is because the collective of humanity is being intentionally triggered and traumatized to give up our will. What we are witnessing is an attack, by parasitic/inorganic/alien consciousness, on our hearts.
The reason even further behind it is because said parasitic/inorganic/alien consciousness is rapidly losing its grip on the world and is going mad in the process. Its rage is projected outward, in the form of chaos and strife. We see a "mad dash" - desperate, end game actions of pulling out all of the stops at all costs - to attempt to hold on to control.
All of this is very strong today, as the energetics include feelings of:
1- BEING BOXED IN OR TRAPPED WITHOUT OPTIONS OR A WAY OUT, courtesy of the Sun at "a violent storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes." We may feel that we have been pulled in deeply or cornered. PRESSURE RELEASES AND CONFRONTATIONS accompany this energetic. Things that have built up can come out explosively. The best use of this vortex of energy is to create something instead of destroying anything.
2- REVOLUTION, courtesy of Venus at "a Communist activist spreading revolutionary ideas." This certainly enhances the prevailing dynamic of people, places, and things facing off this month. Issues related to power and equality are conscripted. Usually there are factors where someone or many feel like they have had enough.
3- UPHILL BATTLES AND STEEP CLIMBS THAT MAY SEEM INSURMOUNTABLE, courtesy of the Earth at "a mountain pilgrimage." The Moon will conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, which is the sign that encapsulates a mountain pilgrimage, symbolic of a struggle or difficult ascent. Capricorn energy can be exceptionally rigid, and this is definitely reinforced by the conjunction with Pluto that is building today and reaches exactitude at 9:25 pm ET/1:25 am UT.
Wisdom teaches us that when things are this highly inclined toward steepness and rigidity (Capricorn), we seek the balance of Capricorn's opposite (Cancer). WATER is the balancer today. If you find yourself too tightly wound, uptight, emotionally uncontained, unbalanced, or rigid, immerse in a bath or shower or lake or pool or ocean or sprinkler or whatever you can find. "Movement" or cleansing of emotions needs to occur.
Additionally, invoking the practice of being like a WILLOW TREE bending and swaying with the winds of change that are upon us may be helpful.
We remember that all roads, including "mountain pilgrimages," lead to liberty.
4 - NEW LIGHT OR NEW PERSPECTIVE, courtesy of Mercury at "early morning dew" (newness and emerging understanding) in aspect to Saturn at "the lamp of physical enlightenment at the left temple" (redirected). This, in combination with the other energetics, highlights "the left" and action from "the left." Left field, left wing, leftists, left a slide.. No matter how this manifests, all roads lead to liberty.
The Magic Carpet Ride of solar year 2016-2017 may require us to hold on as the currents are blowing with gale force today. We know where it all leads.
