Mars is currently in retrograde

So what do you do, when there are retrogrades? Ignore them? Do you think it does not matter? Take them seriously to the other extreme? Some say its an opportunity to turn things around with whatever planets , correspondences are. What do you think?

Depends on what your tryin to do. My current work doesnt m have me worried about um but with some other systems it is a concern. If you wanna use it in ritual figure out what they symbolize and go from there. If you want their energies out of your ritual work banish them.

I have looked up some astrology reviews. I agree that worrying about it to much is not good, like still controlling thought forms. If one were to think to negatively and I am doomed then it will be a self fulfilling prophecy. So far they have said, reviewing strategy and actions, sexuality, self defense and if our tactics work.

I havent explored the mar retrogrades in magick much just mercury for trickster magick a bit.

So we could see short term world peace?

I take a look at MindandMagick’s channel, I do not agree with all his right hand path views but he also has some good ideas

Not sure, some have said, those who initiate battles will lose, I think that is one of the key reasons I wanted to post this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPINfkPc2Hs This could be an example, I have to go by a hunch. The EU started a war with Native Europeans, so at this time populist movements might win, because they did not start it. But if they initiate a battle they could lose, so it sounds like defense or organising and building your own thing, might work better in mars in retrograde. Just a hunch
P.S. Invading countries lose, Islam might lose its invasion of Europe.

I know his stuff i have a few of his programs including his planetary one good stuff

Hey @Fuego, what do you think would be a good way to make use of the Mars retrograde to pull Mars energy out of one’s self and life?

Dinmiatus · February 9, 2018, 9:30pm

Ehhhh…that may not go well. While mar’s energy can raise conflict if left unchecked or stagnant it is also THE power of passion,drive,action, movement.

AradiaX · February 9, 2018, 9:31pm

Same. Mercury wrecks me

Dinmiatus · February 9, 2018, 9:32pm

I love it but im a bit of a trickster myself so i ran with it lol and made use of those energies.

So far the basic theme seems to be, those who initiate lose, it sounds like defense and pacifism and going with the flow at this time.

Dinmiatus · February 9, 2018, 9:33pm

I would say an active defence may be better to pacifism with martian energy.

AradiaX · February 9, 2018, 9:33pm

Except the electronics fizzling out at my touch. That’s a big pain in the ass

lustmagick · February 9, 2018, 9:35pm

I agree, I am not going to be a doormat either, its sounds very tricky.

Dinmiatus · February 9, 2018, 9:35pm

After your done with the energies banish,banish banish, maybe an offering to mercury ive used the first with good results but havent tried the second.

lustmagick · February 9, 2018, 9:36pm

I have a package delay which is usually mercury, but it could be the mechanics , the scanning gun? The computers? A truck broke down.
