Astrology At Work for July-August-September-October 2005 – Uranus awakens Mars in Pisces Echos

by Robert Wilkinson

Today's post is inspired from something I wrote back in July 2003 connected to Mars going stationary retrograde at 11 Pisces, the exact same degree on which Uranus recently went retrograde as well. This is an important development relative to whatever we learned in the last half of 2003, since Mars is a personal planet and we all set certain patterns in our subconsciousness at that time. Those subconscious patterns will now bear fruit during the next several months in some unusual, dramatic and unique ways.

As I wrote two years ago for my old website newagenow.com:

...Mars is rapidly slowing down, about to go stationary retrograde at 11 Pisces on July 29,2003, for about 2 months... When Mars slows down and goes retrograde, many other things slow down as well, especially the areas of our charts ruled by Mars. This period of about 9 weeks will show us unknown, unconscious, or collective factors in how we do what we do, and why we pursue what we think we want. There may be energy struggles with others, where casual interactions seem to turn into struggles for survival. Beware of getting enmeshed in other people’s problems, especially self-inflicted wounds.

... I once heard something to the effect that only the very old and the very young are victims; the rest are volunteers, in one way or another. This is the time to separate from behaviors that set us up to be someone else’s victim, examine any passive-aggressive behaviors jamming our lives (either our own or another’s), and do closure rituals invoking as much compassion as possible so we can end an old phase of life activity. We are learning how to achieve fluid and compassionate endings this summer, so see and let go of motives that only aggravate others in your world.

The challenge is to become GENUINELY emotionally mature, mentally aware, and spiritually self-mobilized between now and December. In some way you are being shown that you must "walk on." Examine lurking inner fears, as this is a period of self-awakening that foreshadows a new dedication. Your personality is being introduced into subtle Soul realms beginning late July, preparing to "walk the walk" by November 2003. August and September 2003 will show us different ways to perceive and deal with the energy dances between us and others wherever early Pisces falls in our birth chart. Let go of all residual guilt, blame, anger, or doubt that separates you from others or parts of your higher Self.
