\"\"<\/a>On April 8th,\u00a0Mars<\/a> will be exactly opposite the sun in the sky in a cosmic alignment set to take place Tuesday, April 8th. \u00a0Some are calling this rare, but in reality it happens every two years, as it takes that long for Mars to orbit\u00a0through the zodiac.<\/p>\n

The planet Mars is masculine energy and rules both Aries and Scorpio, and the First and Eighth Houses. Mars rules our sexuality and sensuality energy and works best when there is balance, much like Yin and Yang. Mars is an action planet, and with its fiery reputation it is no wonder that it also rules the military, war, aggression, passion, and confidence. So on April 8th when the sun and Mars comes face to face, will there be a battle, or an understanding? It is up to you.<\/p>\n

Many will assume that since Mars is so feisty, that this means that there will be conflict. And I am not saying that the week won\u2019t bring that, but I like to interpret not from a worldly perspective, but instead on an individualistic perspective. What war have you been fighting in your life? Mars is all about taking action and finding the inspiration to say what you need to say, do what you need to do and take that leap of faith.<\/p>\n

Over the last couple months, there is has been a lot of frustration and over-sensitivity. Those within your close circle, more than likely showed their true colors and dropped off. The job that you thought you would love forever, turned out to be nothing like the job you thought. The family that you thought would always stick up for you betrayed you. So insecurities have played havoc on your soul.<\/p>\n

This week is all about making well thought out decisions which include balance and passion. Be very careful to not muddy it with the sourness of past un-justifications. Look at the values that you hold, and those values that you may have set down to fit someone else\u2019s idea of right \u2013 and then correct that.<\/p>\n
