Retrograde rage or irritation and impatience.

As we come up on the Full Moon this April, we also approach the coming together of many dynamics that have been brewing for some time.  Trouble is out there if you are looking for it, Mars is Retrograde, and if you think Mercury retrograde is a pain in the ass happening 3 times a year for 3 weeks, be glad that this time of boomerangs with razor blades only happens every couple of years.  It lasts for 6 weeks though, and will be with us until the third week of May.  It is a call to clean up how we go about getting our needs met and actions taken in defense of dearly held positions, this time, it acts out in the area of contractual relationships, agreements and really, whomever we have in our lives that we project our needs onto.
We are coming up on the big grand cross that astrologers are talking about, Mars is involved with some of the planets that have to do with collective and generational movements and awakenings.  Jupiter, the big magnifier of all things  has a hand in making any problem look enormous and bringing on too much at once.  This could be a profoundly emotional time for all of us, this "convergence" of energies will be impacting the chart of the US as well, so be prepared for some news of more corruption coming to light as well as some amazing technological breakthroughs.  For us mere individuals, the alchemical drawing out of our own impurities is happening at this time, at the level of mind.  Such a great opportunity to drop an old pile of useless  crap and move on
