Mars in Libra For Nearly 8 Months! Part I    by Genevieve Vierling

That’s right.  Mars will enter Libra on December 7th/8th and stay in that sign until July 27th; nearly eight months.  How will you be impacted?  What will be the best use of this energy for you?  Let’s explore possible dynamics together.  You’ll want to get your natal chart out and first look to see where the sign of Libra falls.  That is the area of your life experience where Mars will act as catalyst, trigger, and energizer.  

Here’s a quick guide to Mars through each house.  Just use those three buzz words, catalyze, trigger, and energize to get an over-all feeling for how you’ll experience Mars wherever it moves.
1st House:  YOU, your sense of identity, how you begin things
2nd House:  Your values, your development of your resources and gifts, self-worth.
3rd House:  Your attitude, mind-set, ways of relaying information, your peers/siblings, neighborhood, learning skills that later become automatic.
4th House:  Your home, family, personal life, your deepest Soul self.
5th House:  Your heart house of love, creativity, and children, not to mention enjoyment of life in general.
6th House:  Your ‘daily grind’ house of work, health, habits, and routines

7th House:  Others in your life, especially partners, the ‘Not Self’ house.
8th House:  Merging with others, creating intimacy, going deeper into the mysteries, all the complexities of ‘money, power, and sexual’ issues.
9th House:  Finally expanding out into the bigger spheres through travel, higher learning, and philosophy
10th House:  Handling the world through your career and public life; your Highest Calling.
11th House:  Moving in ever larger circles of groups, friendships, colleagues, as well as expanding forward into the future of your own hopes and dreams.
12th House:  Now withdrawing from the outer world, renewing your connection with Spirit through contemplation, serving others, and gaining deeper understanding of the Whole.

Mars in Libra
Here are some guidelines to understanding how Mars may operate in Libra.  Keep in mind that Mars naturally ‘rules’ the opposite sign of Aries, so the classic astrologers maintained that Mars was in ‘detriment’ in Libra.  But I have good news for you.  Paul Wright wrote an excellent article in The Mountain Astrologer’s June/July 2010 issue entitled ‘Astrology and Courage’.  He studied the Mars placement in 1,140 individuals registered as recipients of ‘The Victoria Cross’, Britain’s highest award for gallantry.  He determined that ‘Mars does not appear to favor the signs in which it is traditionally considered strong.  On the contrary Libra, the sign of Mars’ detriment, is the most heavily occupied……Mars in its detriment or fall, does not appear to equate to an individual who lacks courage.’
There you have it.  Mars in Libra may be just what we need now to help us create a more peaceful, harmonious, and socially just world.  Certainly you can use this energy towards those ends wherever it moves along in your chart for the next 8 months.

Libra favors diplomacy over adversarial tactics.  Libra enjoys genuine socializing rather than isolationism.  Libra is good at mediation where there are disputes.  The strengths which Mars here can foster are fairness, ability to compromise, and cooperativeness.  These are the types of actions we now need in a world mired in conflict.  Libra is an air sign and thus supports communication and peaceful co-existence amongst individuals and groups.  This energy may help to improve racial issues, minority rights, women’s rights, labor rights, and individual rights.  Libra desires to harmonize all polarities by evening the scales.  The golden mean, balance, and justice are all the higher qualities of Libra.  Mars here can champion those qualities.  I think of the genuine Peace Movement as perhaps the highest political force that might be favored by Mars in Libra.

What vocations will be energized with Mars in Libra?  Here are just a few:
Marriage services and related industries such as match-making services, counseling services, event planning, etc.
Forming of partnerships such as LLCs
Politics—-oh yes!
Artistic work and artisans
Brokerage work and firms
The modeling industry
Hair and Beauty services
Modeling
Interior design
Social dancing!  With real partners.
Perhaps you can think of other Libra-related vocations soon to be energized.

The darker shadow side of Mars in Libra
Oh, do we dare hope for nothing but pleasantries and lightness of being with Mars in Libra?  Probably not.  This world is right now full of too many corrupted messes and a real polarization between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.  Mars in Libra can actually mean the opposite of diplomacy; it can mean war.  Libra’s darker side is highly competitive.  That old cliché of ‘the iron fist inside the velvet glove’ does fit rather tightly with the use of this sign in negative ways.

Watch for situations where strife, arguments, and ugly lawsuits are possible.  Be aware of tactics which undermine true fairness, equality, and justice.  Look to how you handle your own anger in situations which feel unfair.  Remember, a blocked Mars may result in impotent rage which then goes underground or turns inward in highly destructive ways.  It is important to constantly clarify ‘What do I want?  What do I have to do to get it?’  Mars in Libra can be used effectively for powerful strategy if you are willing to face what is creating the anger and act according to the higher Libran principles.

The other major shadow of Libra is forever straddling the fence and simply not taking a stand on anything which often equates with shallow social etiquette masking disloyalty.  Just because someone is playing nice to your face doesn’t mean they are truly on your side.  Indecisiveness is also akin to the straddling the fence syndrome and it can drain incentive and stall real pro-active movements that need to take precedence when a crisis is at hand.  Libra isn’t exactly known for taking risks, and sometimes right action must be willing to do so.  We see this increasingly on the planet with the enormous catastrophes that are now occurring, and will continue to escalate with global warming.  The political will is often lacking as the unwieldy bureaucracies within the social structures stall and delay the fast response necessary to save lives.  This is where modern politics drives people to anger and great frustration over and over again as witnessed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, and now Super typhoon Haiyan.  Will Mars in Libra increase political  stalemates or light a fire to get the job done?  I think of COP 19 just ending in Warsaw and all the delegates who walked out due to the do-nothing, stalling tactics of the more developed nations in addressing climate change.  Peru hosts the next summit.  Will Mars in Libra take the right action by then?

There is much more to explore with Mars in Libra. In Part II I will cover the aspects Mars will be making, the Chart of the United States and how Mars in Libra will exacerbate the Pluto/Uranus square impacting the USA strongly in 2014, and the Mars Retrograde period within the 8 month passage.  I will give you the dates to watch out for with this phase and how Mars will trigger and activate the Pluto/Uranus square in the months ahead.

Astrology and the Mystical/Healing Arts in Dublin, Ireland by Genevieve Vierling

Dublin Ireland
I recently had the joy and privilege of spending over two weeks in Dublin, Ireland with our daughter, Danielle, and her family which includes two of our precious granddaughters.  Danielle, always the great promoter of my work, arranged for me to co-lead with her a Meditation Group on the New Moon in Libra, teach a class on Chiron, the ‘Sacred Wounded Healer/Teacher/Warrior’, and give a talk at The Buddha Bag on ‘Lucid Dreaming, Astral Travel, and Out of the Body experiences’ followed by a workshop on Dreaming at the Olive Tree Studio.  In addition I gave private sessions to many fine Dubliners.

I would now like to share some of my impressions of the people of Dublin.  I have done this in past blogs but this trip I noticed a decided awakening going on in many of the people I worked with.  Many have decided to leave their jobs and even careers in government and corporate positions to become more independent in vocations involving healing work, even shamanic work.  There is a revitalization of the mystical arts now flourishing in Dublin.  Keep in mind that Dublin is comprised of people from all over Europe, America, and far-flung nations such as Iran and Australia.  It is a very international city bursting with youthful and vibrant energy.  In spite of the economic down-turn impacting the city there continues to be this swelling stream of conscious people who are hungry to learn and grow more deeply and fully in a spiritual sense.

I was also struck by how many more men are involved in these arenas now.  My classes were equally attended by men and women.  Perhaps this is because Danielle attracts both genders easily, but at the Buddha Bag I was struck that possibly 2/3rds of the nearly 60 people attending were men.  Men are interested in lucid dreaming most certainly!  Many of these men had experienced astral travel as well.  How wonderful!

In terms of astrology, I met one special man named Nadasen Pillay who teaches Kundalini Yoga and has been studying and practicing astrology since he was a teenager, and many who were well versed in the terms and techniques of my craft.  Another lovely man named Daniel is sort of like ‘Super Man’; an accountant by day and an astral traveler/healer by night.  The women were impressive in their professional credentials including a medical doctor, and an educational administrator.  I so thoroughly enjoyed each individual that I served and would love to know how each unfolds in their journey ahead for, like their counter-parts in America, many are at the cross-roads making major decisions that involve risk-taking and courage this coming year.

Danielle Vierling
Danielle is doing fine work on a multiple of levels in Dublin.  For those of you unacquainted with her work please see her offerings at www.tarotreadingdublin.com.  Her business card for Tarot Readings states ‘Heartfelt Truth and Intuitive Guidance’, but she wears many hats in her professional life.  She starts a course inBeginners Astrology – Soul Truth Discovery on Tuesday Evenings beginning November 5th at the Restore Clinic at 67 Camden Street, Dublin 2.  She also teaches courses in Tarot, Meditation, and Intuitive Development as well as her long-standing work in Synergy Dance.
Picture
She even teaches a wonderful children’s ballet class!

Here are some of the great centers Danielle is linked with or works out of:


Picture
Buddha Bag meeting room

The Buddha Bag at 8 Baggot Lane, Dublin 4 (086-157-9518) was founded by Paul Congdon, who is also the Publisher of a marvelous journal you can subscribe to on-line called Positive Life.


Picture
Paul Congdon
The Buddha Bag is a gathering hole for regular inquisitive seekers of all stripes.  They host speakers from all over the world every Thursday evening.  Paul is a great net-worker and makes you feel right at home either as a speaker or attendee at these events.  It felt like talking in someone’s living room quite frankly!  Perhaps that was because the people nearest the front can sit on comfortable bean bags!  After these Thursday evening events many go on across the way to the very elegant Dylan Hotelto continue discussions and merriment into the wee hours.

The Buddha Bag also has yoga classes, healing circles, and a variety of wonderful events every single day of the year.  Check them out on Facebook as well.


Picture
Olive Tree Yoga Studio
The Olive Tree Dublin  at 15 Grantham St., Dublin 8, is another lovely venue where I was able to teach my classes and see clients privately. This is also where Danielle holds her regular Synergy Dance classes.
Picture
Estelle Birdy
Estelle Birdy (086-794-1624) is the Director as well as one of the Yoga instructors.  Yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, and multiple Dance classes all go on here weekly.  In addition there is a private treatment room for acupuncture, massage, Reiki, and Sound Therapy.  And—yes!—there is actually a beautiful olive tree growing directly in front of this charming space.
Picture
Dublin Holistic Center
The Dublin Holistic Centre (is yet another venue which Danielle uses every week for her Polarity Therapy sessions (yes, she does that too!) and her New Moon Meditation evenings.  This center is right in the heart of downtown Dublin and is a beautiful and serene oasis going up, up, up about four stories.  Yes, it feels like a literal version of ‘stairway to the stars’ with each floor containing serene and beautifully decorated meeting and treatment rooms.  Here all manner of classes and healing sessions go on including Pilates, Yoga, Mum & Baby Yoga, Meditation, Belly dancing, Qi Gong, Massage therapies, Natural Medicines, Bodywork, Beauty, Talking Therapies, Energy Healing, and Energy Psychology.  Wow!
Picture
Stepping down to street level and even below is Accents Coffee and Tea Lounge located at 23 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2.  Danielle gives mini-Tarot Readings here on Thursdays down in the very smartly stylish basement lounge where comfortable leather sofas abound.  She always reserves the quiet corner where clients sip their tea and get soul truth readings simultaneously.

Before ending this tour of ‘Spiritual/Mystical Dublin’ I’m going to list a few delightful café’s that are inexpensive and serve up organic and delicious fares.  They were all within walking distance of Danielle’s home.


Picture
The Cake Café’ located in a charming little courtyard, The Daintree Building, Pleasants Place, Dublin 8.  Tiny but having plenty of tables and chairs in the courtyard for nicer weather, this place boasts wonderful baked goods along with tarts, stews, and delicious salads.  I loved their Macha Green Tea Latte’.
Picture
Lennox Café’ Bistro at 31 Lennox St., Dublin 8 is more posh and you are served a very international cuisine in a stylish setting.  Their soups are divine and the crab salad we had looked just like California cuisine.
Picture
Bibi's Cafe
Bibi’s Café’, 14 b Emorville Ave., Dublin 8, is right on the corner of a quiet residential neighborhood.  They have taste treats for every palate from hardy to light and everything is beautifully presented including the carafe of water with cucumber and celery stalks wedged inside.  They also have imported foods for sale.

Another thing I love about Dublin are all the tiny shops and delis that serve absolutely fresh AND organic foods.  It is amazing how very many of them you find along one street.  Organic is big now in Dublin and the surrounding towns.  The larger super markets like Tesco feature ample sections of organic produce, and the variety of foods now available rival even a place like California.

Picture
St. Stephen Green
So if you are planning to visit Dublin, keep this list.  I know your experience will be richer for it!  And, as a final footnote; if you do want to visit Dublin Danielle and her husband, Francois, run anAirBnB at 15 Grantham St., Dublin 8.  They live in an old three-story Georgian within walking distance of the downtown Center and Stephen’s Green Park.  Francois makes the best French Crepes as a treat for their guests.  You’ll love the ambiance and warmth of their very ‘Irish’ home!!
