is anyone struggling with the redirected energy of mars due to the retrograde? I really feel it being turned inward and I find myself getting so energetically worked up that I can hardly take it. I have never had a problem with anger in my life!! I have never gotten in a fight before, rarely yell... it takes a LOT to get me ruffled. But lately it's as if I'm energetically on pins and needles at times.. Where just a noise can set me off..
Interestingly enough, how I feel now is making me understand how my ex used to behave.. He was energetically always on pins and needles... It's making me have compassion for him because it is SO uncomfortable, omg.
I thought, he must have his natal mars retro, sure enough he does!! Anyone else experiencing this strongly? IP: Logged |

My natal Mars is in retrograde. Does that just mean that I internalise things to do with Mars? As for being on pins and needles, no I can't say that I have that. I'm generally peaceful. I can have a short temper sometimes (not often though) but I don't think it's due to that.IP: Logged |

Tr. Mars is on my Sun/Mer right now and im struggling with anger. My natal Mars is rx also...im pretty chill most the time, normally. My gem Mars doesn't aspect much in my chart, its only aspect is an out of sign, separating, 5 degree trine to Uranus....so its kind of a weak placement.
Personally i think rx Mars in a natal chart only directs the enery inward, like youd be more likely to internalize your pain and be self destructive rather than abusive or destructive to others. You might hurt ppl in attempts to push them away in your efforts to be self destructive...but still your anger is mainly directly inward. Or You might bottle it up inside until you explode, that would be another example of Mars rx in natal.The pins and needles sounds like a hard aspect the moon....sun or merc, maybe. IP: Logged |

I agree, Gabby. No pins and needles for me, either. (Gemini Mars Rx) I'm usually calm inside, though stressed. Like holding a yoga position.  IP: Logged |

I'm feeling very "meh" although I am feeling a bit tense here and there. I think that's more to do with the fact that it's starting to square my Mars again, though, and will soon oppose my Moon, Venus, and South Node. A couple of months ago, I was easily wound up and hurt... now I'm just hurt, but thinking, "You know what? I'm not going to bother." More like my old self. With more apathy. IP: Logged |

I hadn't realized that missblyss was unregistered. Hope you're okay!  I've downloaded an audio book/CD for around $5, some sort of guided meditation for people with PTSD. It was recommended by the Cleveland Clinic. I had a panic attack related to something last Sunday, a huge one, and it also brings up anger - so I wonder if this would help anyone dealing with anger. I'm trying to find the link again, but you can google "guided meditation PTSD" to find it. IP: Logged |

I'm incredibly stressed, and having to deal with setting boundaries with truly clueless (or just disrespectful) people, and I get rather irate when I have to do that. It's not comfortable for me, so it makes me angry that I have to deal with it at all.IP: Logged |

I have been meaning to respond to this thread since this weekend.I am glad so many people keep talking about Mars Rx bc it has forced me to really think about how it has been affecting me. I dont feel it has made me more irritable than typical but I have noticed that I am more mindful like when I snap I right away or shortly after realize that I am being rude or responding more intensely than I should and I apologize quickly in a heartfelt way and auto correct my behavior. It helps me gain more insight into my anger, behavior and reaction and helps self regulate or at least auto correct more quickly and easily. Usually I just get angry or annoy and snap and that is it, there isn't this mindfulness behind it or attempt to self regulate. Mars rx is in my 12th house conjuncting my Chart ruler Jupiter and Uranus as well as approaching my AC and opposing Chiron so perhaps the rx in combo with 12th house energy brings with it mindfulness.

I spent some time reading books about trauma, and people's experiences, last night. A reminder that my feelings are normal for a few things that I've experienced, even if they don't make sense to most people. It gave me a bit of comfort, reading about it, because I tend to carry around a burning shame, feeling weak because I can't deal with this or that, or the anxiety that overwhelms me so damned easily. The feeling disconnected, and so on, that I'm not an idiot, or a waste of space. IP: Logged |

the last few days, i've noticed my childhood fears from trauma came up to surface. regarding your anger, what you can do is allow it to come up without reacting to it. be objective about it. kinda like you are just allowing it to come up, and looking from a 3rd person's point of view. be the observer of these thoughts and feelings. these unconscious energy need to come up so we can integrate it into conscious awareness. good luck.

My anger has been internalized more or maybe it has always been there but I'm just now becoming more aware of it. I usually work out everyday to balance my energies but noticing more and more that my work outs need to last longer to get the same amount of relief. IP: Logged |

Yep, I'm struggling with the same problem. I can't wait for Mars to go direct on June 29th. IP: Logged |
