Mars in Uttara Bhadrapada ~ A finer kind of action

Mars, planet of energy and action, is in Uttara Bhadrapada from April 27 to May 14th 2024.

This nakshatra within the zodiacal sign of Pisces, is known for benevolence and renunciation, and its symbol is the front legs of a bed, or a person facing both ways. Mars operates more subtly here than its usual heads-down style, and you may find a way of succeeding that avoids open conflict.

You have an intelligent, innovative energy and a focus on the finer things in life, where your passions and anger pour into spirituality and the arts. Use your powers of speech and persuasion to put yourself across in your best light, and your grasp of psychology lets you discover how to handle people and appeal to their interests.

You may use kind of manipulation in a leadership role, but you make sure it’s for everybody’s benefit in the end. Uttara’s ruler, Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the depths, may draw you into emotional sharing and a complete immersion in spirituality – this mythical creature is the embodiment of the coiled kundalini energy at the base of the spine, and favours deep yoga practice and meditation.

You may be surprised by the intensity of an awakening moment, especially around the New Moon on May 8th. Along with psychic practice, the Shakti, or special energy, of this nakshatra is for Bringing Rain, which is linked to money-making and fertility.

Find an excellent cause to donate to and Uttara’s charitable side gets a lift from your crusading energy.
