The Warrior Within at Yoga with the Stars Saturday
Friday, 12/6, marks a powerful shift as Yang planet Mars turns retrograde at 6 Leo. Of all the planets, Mars reverses the least frequently, with 2+ years between retrogrades, when it comes closest to the Earth. We feel the shift when Warrior Mars trades his sword for a flashlight and goes down into our underworld. The big questions addressed by Mars retrograde are: How and where do we use our energy? Is that really what is important?
Moving backward thru Leo, he shines a light on issues around creativity, how we present ourselves, and who surrounds us. Do these reflect our authentic Self? It can be humbling to shed ego beliefs distorting our self-expression.
Yet the real work of this Mars retrograde will begin 1/6 when Mars backs into Cancer, sign of home, family, and mothering, uncomfortable for Mars. Demands of family and our own inner child can become compelling and draining. Deep heart wounds where we did not get the love and care we longed for must be healed, as we learn to nurture ourselves.
Mars will turn direct on 2/24 and remain in Cancer till mid-April, so we are blessed with this second chance to create an abiding sense of safety as our foundation. Such inner security is crucial for our successful navigation of the challenges of 2025. Begin your journey now with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Saturday at 8:30.
Love and Blessings,
Jai Kartar
