Mars: Evolving the Fire of Your Soul’s Desire
Mars represents how you identify and instinctually act upon the desires emanating from your Soul. For this reason, Mars is referred to as the lower octave of Pluto, as Pluto transmits to Mars via your instinct the desires that reflect your Soul's need to evolve itself in new ways. The South Node of Mars correlates to past life desires being brought forward into the current life to be actualized in new ways via the natal placement of Mars and its North Node. The North Node of Mars symbolizes how the ongoing desires of Pluto via Mars will continue to be actualized in the future. Planets in Aries also symbolize the desire to blaze new trails and they are connected like a web to the natal Mars and its North Node. The sign on the Ascendent, the location of its planetary ruler, and where the sign Aries lands in your natal chart are all woven within the web of desires from your Soul that manifest through the Mars archetype and point to how your Soul is leading itself forward.
 
In this talk, Kristin will share how to map the Soul’s evolving desires via the Mars/Aries archetype through the lens of the Pluto paradigm, illustrating the teachings with charts at various stages of evolution. She will also offer insights into the evolutionary significance of the approaching Mars retrograde transit that initiates on Dec. 6, 2024, which will bring to light unresolved desires within the Soul so personal evolution can proceed.
