Mars will be stationing Retrograde in Aries on September 9, 2020 at 6:23 pm ET until November 13, 2020 at 7:36 pm ET.
While Mars is Retrograde in Aries, Mars will again be in difficult square aspect to planets in Capricorn – Saturn on September 29, Pluto on October 9 and Jupiter on October 29.
During this period it will be especially important for everyone to reevaluate the actions and attitudes we have taken while Mars has been direct in Aries over the summer months. With Saturn in square to Mars, people that have violent and aggressive tendencies need to be more responsible for their own actions and behavior. Manipulative behavior by individuals and those in positions of authority is put into question.
There will be a notable desire for change during this period. Some people could become more self centered, defensive in their behavior and protective of their identities during this period. Others may do their best to withhold aggressive reactions.
Important changes will need to be made, especially where we have see aggressive attitudes. If there has been escalations in tensions between people’s identities and people have gone overboard in being offended and defensive about who they are, a change in approach will be necessary to help create calm.
Disagreements on the right approach is likely and how people react to one another can create complications.
As mentioned, Chiron is in Aries during this period, so healing the ego and identity will be imperative. A change in approach and attitudes will be highly necessary to change the course and direction we are heading in.
As aggressive attitudes are likely with Mars in Aries, and leaders will be in the spotlight, we could see leaders change their strategic approaches to deal with conflicts. The tension between individuals, identity and political forces continue to be a focus of conflict. The fiery, destructive actions demonstrated with the conflicting square between Mars and planets in political Capricorn could certainly lead to regrets and karmic shifts.
Identity politics will continue to be in the spotlight, but if people can work on fixing their internal issues then the results we see in the outer world can change.
Immaturity will not be favored during this period and personal strength and self awareness of how your actions and reactions influence the people and world around you will be required to create positive changes.
