Ugh, Mars is still in Mrigrashira?

Honestly, no food is good enough. And I’m not even hungry, I just want to taste something delicious over and over and I don’t care if my body can take it or not. 

So... yeah, it seems like we have Mars, the insatiable planet, sitting in that portion of the constellation represented by a running deer, in search for the soma, the food of the gods. 

 This placement on a birth chart can make great chefs (as well as very sexually active people) and having the planet responsible for our most instictive reactions stepping right over it can definitelly enhance this trait.

Now, if you’re struggling (like me) with taking too much of your plate in more than one area of your life, well.. just remember that this transition is, thankfully, just a transition, so it will eventually come to an end. Nonetheless, it can develop some issues that will stick around longer than you wish for. 

If anything, this is the time to train your willpower and fight all the temptations that you know damn well are not gonna bring good results. Think about the things you once wish to have or achieve that are now part of your life, and make sure you enjoy them to the fullest. This is the key to overcome this transit and finish with a bang.

 We are all constantly searching for something else, something better. Sometimes we are more timid when it comes to take what we want (and deserve), and sometimes we get too greedy and end up biting more than we can chew.

 Just keep a cold mind and focus that desire on the things that will truly fulfill you on the long term. That way, you will take the best advantage of this transit.

Because Jupiter is the planet that provides us with the sense of hope and good luck, you may now feel hopeless, frustrated, uninspired.. but don't let those emotions deceive you! focus on facts, for this is the time to put in practice all the things you have learned in the past.

We are constantly telling ourselves and each other to believe in ourselves, to love ourselves more, to not be afraid. Now is when you must live by those lessons more than ever, even if you feel like the world is trying to prove you wrong:

You are worth it. It will get better.

You don't need to "believe" those words are true anymore, you know they are.

Here's a few tips that might come in handy whenever you feel overwhelmed:

Resist the temptation to explain or justify who you are or what you do. By defining yourself, you are limiting and restricting a potential you didn't even know you have.

Keep your mind open and stay humble. Thinking you know better might feel good, but it's actually keeping you in that comfort zone you're trying to break out from.

Where there's an obstacle, there's a lesson. If you want to overcome the old you, you must learn to push those limits. Don't complain, don't put excuses or avoid the situation. The universe is not denying you what you want, is asking you to prove how much you truly want it.

Emotions, good or bad, are illlusions. Learn to detect them for they are the ones creating the reality you know. By not letting those emotions rule over your actions, you are handing yourself a world of new posibilities, where your craziest dreams can actually come true.

Failure is the secret of success. You must fall in love with the unreasonable urge to try something you know you will fail at. Eventually, you will realize that trying is already a victory and it's all you gotta do! Expectations are for the weak. The truly brave ones are never stopped by a "what if" and they are the ones who will get the reward that many others wish for but are not willing to work for.

You will be amazed by the things the universe has in store for you!

No other planet will send you more clear messages so pay attention to the signs! This transit has come to let us know that we create our own reality and sense of self through the way we communicate to others.

Remember: you are what you do.

Many times we let our ego speak for us and, before we know it, we're acting like someone completely different from what we thought we were.

Fear is a very powerful illusion that tricks your mind into thinking you must protect yourself from something, and only by breaking this illusion you'll see your true intentions reflecting back at you. So don't let your own demons deceive you; the world is not against you, and everyone is trying just as hard as you are. You get what you give and viceversa, so be the one to break the cycle. Once you disarm yourself, you'll find out there was never a war and that nobody can harm you once you lose the fear of being harmed.

So learn how to silence the voice of your ego and don't think you need to be right to be alright, for there's far more growth and happiness waiting for you once you chose humility and introspection over winning arguments or "proving people wrong".

There's no better time to rewrite the narrative in your mind. So ask yourself, "who do I want to become? how do I want to be perceived?"
