In the First Circle
beyond your world, he march­es ’round ever stand­ing guard, he watch­es over your
borderlands…He is pro­tec­tor, defend­er, the one who will not yield…He is the
Prince of Self-Realization…and now he returns to his most famil­iar, the Realm
of Aries wel­comes home its very own.

For the next 40 days,
Mars moves through a most spe­cial place for him and you. He has not been here
for almost two years, for that is how long he takes to dance through those
Man­sions of Life, the Wheel of Won­der known as the Zodiac.

Mars rules your
Desires, Aims and Aspirations…for once you have dis­cerned what you need or
want, it is Mars who takes up the call, it is Mars who gets you there. Mars is
back in Fire now, and you thrill with Resur­gent Idealism…You burn that much
brighter with bound­less Enthusiasms…and you move with greater longings,
urgency and a new­found Vigor.

Where­as in the past
weeks you felt the need to pause, to hold, to restrain your­self and turn your
actions inward, to be strong enough to make your right­ful Sac­ri­fice of Self…Now
you feel the urge to move out­ward again, to push ahead, to charge head­long into
your self-real­iz­ing striv­ings of Mind, Life and Love…you need, you must…and you
leap into the fray.

Yet, as is true with
any shift of ener­gies, but espe­cial­ly with this Mars in Aries move, there is a
need for Greater Understanding…You feel this mighty resur­gence of Ener­gy and
Dri­ve now, but such forces and forms need prop­er Moti­va­tion, steady Guidance
and Focused Purpose…For as with any use of great pow­er there comes great Respon­si­bil­i­ty too.

So let you Spirit
soar with renewed Enthu­si­asms, feel those Fires of Desire that burn so bright­ly now…but remem­ber to be Patient with your­self and
with one anoth­er too.

Be guid­ed by your
“Burn­ing Brights”, your won­drous­ly Ide­al­is­tic Dreams…but remember
that you are on Earth and that you do not want the pur­suit of the Per­fect to
become the obsta­cle to what is tru­ly Good and Beau­ti­ful too.

Aim for what you know
to be your Truth, go for your Heart’s Desire…but remem­ber that your way is
but one melody in this Cho­rus of Cre­ation, and though you will play your part, you
must allow oth­ers to find their way too.

Rejoice and raise your Ban­ner, the Self Awakening…

Spir­i­tu­al Fires are mov­ing now…

It is time, it is time…

It is time to sing your Song of Songs!
