By ERIC FRANCIS COPPOLINO
Tonight’s interpretations are a close reading, by sign and rising sign, of the extremely rare Mars retrograde square Neptune. This is exact Friday morning and is the topic of the next mailing. The chart is below. The Sun is moving through the last degrees of Scorpio, and Mercury and Venus are running vanguard in Sagittarius. One message of this chart involves the need to listen; another involves the potential for unheeded warnings due to being lost in the fog we cannot see. — efc
ARIES
With the Sun entering your fellow fire sign Sagittarius, you are being encouraged to take the long view of life, and to be optimistic about the future. Yet this is happening in a world that seems to be running out of time, space and opportunities. But if my understanding of history is meekly accurate, it’s always been difficult to make your way in the world, particularly if you place any value on being sincere and honest. That generally does not facilitate ease of progress, though it looks like the approach that you want to take. You have seen how deception in any form gets in the way, slows you down and creates complications for the future. Anyway, the message of Mars retrograde is above all else that you be true to yourself. This is the root of everything you do that could be counted as real. Now is the time to decide what you want, and to point yourself in that direction.
TAURUS
Your sexuality is one of your primary modes of spiritual contact and expression (if not the very most important one). It could be for nearly everyone, though this is an inherent orientation of the Taurus character (associated with the location of Sagittarius in your chart). Sexuality in all of its forms is the constant target of slander campaigns, political maneuvering, product marketing, social status, acquisition of wealth and a whole bunch of things that have no connection to the Dharma. You might do an assessment of the ways in which your sexuality is involved in anything other than its inherent, existential value. You’re likely to have evolved in your thinking and decision-making over the years, though it’s difficult to allow sex to be sex under all the pressure to make it something that it’s not. And note that all that it is, particularly to you, tends to be a low priority on our planet at this time. Therefore, feel and do what is right for you.
GEMINI
Mars continues to work its way retrograde through your birth (or rising) sign, which is likely to be bringing you a series of personal revelations. You might be remembering things forgotten, discovering qualities in yourself that you never expected, or figuring out what you no longer want. That last one — that’s the real gift of retrograde Mars. It’s one thing to focus on. Desire is fantastic, though this other bit about knowing what you don’t want is always a factor. If you can pull the plug on what no longer belongs on your agenda or your shopping list, you will free up plenty of energy. Be bold about striking things off the list, including the ones that were written in invisible ink, or that you forgot about two years ago. The process of elimination will give you a much better view of the horizon, and your personal inner horizon. And then when you re-engage the engine of your true priorities, you will have much more power and agility.
