From our earthly vantage point, planets appear to move forward, then backward, which is called retrograde. Later they appear to move forward after they appear to be standing still which is called stationed direct. Yoga teaches us the macrocosm is reflected in our inner microcosm, indicating people similarly move forward in some areas of life, then backwards for a time with periods of standing still before forward movement occurs again.
During this period as Mars has stationed direct, we may use the energy to pause and compose ourselves anew. Doing so we can integrate the lessons learned regarding our masculine, assertive, warrior like energy for future efforts. Soon, Mercury will also go direct, assisting us with communication and transportation, but until then we may best allow time for reflection.
How comfortable can you be with standing still? What lessons have you learned about your warrior energy that you can integrate as you reflect? Ki to Happiness is composing herself.
