Ever hear the saying “work smarter, not harder“? Well it has felt like I have been spinning my wheels since February, May, June… 2025 😂. It felt like each time I closed my eyes, another month went by and that I was just moving too slow for those things around me. It felt like I lived a year in a week. Even now, shocked that I have not done a newsletter since July it also feels like it has been years since July.
I had been thinking that it was the new job and the new culture of that job. I finally had to reach out to my Vedic Astrologer. I wanted to know what was happening with all this movement and the feeling of constantly being behind the curve. If you ever want a truly AWESOME Vedic Astrologer, please let me know!!
Turns out, it’s Mars and the effect Mars has been having on me. Seems like Mars is especially kicking me in the butt at this time. Mars is also influencing all of us in some way, depending on your birth chart, and many other things, which I do not really understand or have the bandwidth to begin to learn 😂 , which is why I have Rajeshwari, to help me navigate these things. Planets affect all of us, just think about the effect that the Sun and Moon have on us and our emotions.
While some qualities of Mars are universal, it can be different depending on your own birth chart.
Some basic ideas of Mars include:
- Mars is the planet of action, energy, ambition, and courage.
- It rules over the element of fire and is associated with the warrior archetype.
- Influences on life: its position in an individual’s birth chart influences how they approach conflict, assert themselves, and pursue goals.
- Potential for challenges: a poorly placed Mars can be associated with impulsiveness, anger, and rash decisions.
However this is more about me and my personal reading, and how it has come to affect me. The feeling that one day is as swift as a full year. Like how the heck did we get to November, when just yesterday it was June and I was starting a new job.
What has come through for me is the Warrior and Fire, feeling myself become super agitated at things that really have no effect on me, yet being stuck in the idea that I can and SHOULD change these things. A great Vedic reading will give you some direction, and clarity. And for me, it’s a wonderful roadmap. Like any good roadmap it will show you what is ahead, what to avoid and where the rest stops are!! All really great things, especially for me!!
So.. since Mars is with us for a bit longer, I offer the freebie for this month and a way to also appease Mars a bit… if that is something you personally need. I also encourage Vedic Readings at least once a year or when you have a major change in your life.
With so, so much love and light.
