Mars dipped its toes back into sidereal Virgo last night (pdt) for a retrograde phase that finally ends May 19 P.D.T. Mars will not return to Libra until mid July.

While Mars is in the late degrees of Virgo through the end of this month it will be a sensitive time for Mars related issues.

To honor Mars make sure to wear something red today. If your person

al energy is low you can chant the Hanuman Chalisa. Or to do a major overhaul of your relationship with Mars you can start to work with the Yantra and mantra for Mars.

Depending upon our individual horoscope Mars also connects to two houses of the horoscope and therefore two parts of our lives.

For example Libra rising — Mars owns the seventh house of relationships and the second house of family and accumulated wealth, the face and our teeth specifically. Depending upon your individual horoscope there may be major things taking place around these parts of your life at this time.

Mantra yantra and other remedial measures can help!

Important dates for your calendar:

May 19 – Mars goes direct

July 13 – Mars returns to Libra
