MARS is R-E-T-R-O-G-R-A-D-E and also OUT OF BOUNDS, meaning he can’t be tied down. He is a very loose mad cannon and If you’re feeling exhausted, confused, indecisive, being ghosted, or having vivid dreams and flashbacks the cause is Mars, the planet of action is moving in Retrograde and is also moving Out of Bounds, and square to Neptune.
MARS- Out of BOUNDS in GEMINI squares NEPTUNE in PISCES
A great time to practice split-attention, and other spiritual shamanic standard tricks of the Guru swami trade.
Dazed and confused for so long it’s not true. You may want to retreat into a totally stoned retreat during this energy.
NEPTUNE rules the DIVINE, the god field, the source, dreams, illusions, Hollywood, glamour, the arts, surrender, source, oil, and drugs.
MARS in GEMINI is RETROGRADE and OUR OF BOUNDS so this is some wild and crazy flashbacks.
This Martial aspect brings an unreality overdose. Yes life and communications and conversations can stone you to your soul. Cue that Van Morrison song.
This planetary combo means: Oil spills, contamination, viruses– split decisions,Matrix chocies- the red pill or the Blue Pill?
Aggressively re-seeking your soul matethat one can haunt you too.
WHat is real and what isn’t? IS THE SUPREME question today.
Hey I am late these days as MARS RETRO and OOB is opposite my Natal Mercury in Sagittarius and of course NEPTUNE is squaring my MERCURY TOO. I’m having a struggle staying focussed but channeling lots of cool stuff.
Do pay attention to your dreams write em down, record them they are super powerful right now
Do be careful of any alcohol, or drug intake as your judgment is way off. Watch out o be lured into a dangerous situation. Don’t give money to evangelists they are not what they seem.
You could use this time well by getting in touch with a hot inspiration to manifest your dreams. The truth or denial. Which will it be? Confront anyone you suspect of being less than honest today.
Neptune rules debt, with the recent SBF crypto scam everyone will be extra wary to trust anyone. This is definitely a reality checkcreated from the scam of all time.

I am adding to this original article which is even more relevant now. Mars in Cancer controlling women’s wombs originally posted
MARS IN CANCER April 23-June 11, 2021
Mars is Masculine energy, action, raw testosterone, the warrior, desire, sex, competition, rape, anger, aggression, initiator, Ruler of Aries and Scorpio.
CANCER is the Mother, womb, Feminine, the Goddess, Mother Mary, Demeter, Gaia, Ceres, all Mother Goddesses, water, wells, nurturing, nourishment, emotions, security, home, children receptivity, Ruled by the Moon.
For this 7 week period,Mars in Cancer means we are ruled by our tummies, home cooking and comfort foods are a must. Donate to a food bankespecially if you don’t have children or help older women or mothers in general. We desire emotional security and safety. A nest and home. We can also be very defensive emotionally too, stuffing our emotions and putting on a hard shell of armour, that infamous “stiff upper lip”.
Mars in Cancer symbolizes the Warrior returning to the home fire of the Great Mother to defend and protect her with all of his defences. He can take off his armour and nurture his wounds and feel the love and safety of home and family.Because of Covid many of us have lost loved ones, parents and children have lost mothers and parents. Many of us are isolated and alone and Mars in Cancer will make us feel rather helpless and weak. Mars is courage and initiative. We need to fight for our emotions and defend our feelings.
When Mars is in Cancer it’s time to connect with your passion for nurturing, protecting and feeding the children. This means your inner child especially. But all children. Sex trafficking of children is a huge issue. Do something to support this.
MARS is considered weakened in such a feminine watery sign. Yet Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has Mars in Cancer but it also makes senseas he is a martial or warrior of water.
In 2021 Mars is moving OUT OF BOUNDS from March 21 to May 24.
When Mars is OUT-OF-BOUNDS or OOB it means that Martial energy is wild and uncontrollable.KT Boehrer who came up with the definition and declinations for OOB planets says Mars OOB is “a fighter, daring, energetic, curious, venturesome, often attracted to a career associated with an element of danger.” A negative Mars OOB is furious tempered, angry and violent.
This 2 month period will have us feeling angry and frustrated about being forced to stay home because of Covid. Mars in Cancer is repressed anger so watch out for when the pot boils over.
The war on woman’s wombs seems now seems to be more actively coming from results of women who have had Covid Vaccinations recently getting very heavy periods, hemorraghing and miscarrying and even for those living with those who have had the jab for Covid. This may not be being totally reported in the mainstream news.
The war on women’s wombs in Alabama passed the strictest abortion law ever from May 15, 2019. Mars in Cancer is a war and repressed rage against the power of the Birth giving Great Mother. We must defend the womb. Join my the WOMB TECHNOLOGY Group on FACEBOOK which i am a core member of https://www.facebook.com/groups/1367543886749548
IDEALLY, This is a time for Masculine cleansing and purification of TOXIC MASCULINITY, where the warrior takes off his armor and surrenders into the unconditionally loving arms of the Mother Goddess Archetype of his own Anima, his own soul or to a woman. The son comes home to the Mother, to his roots, his female ancestors, to be nurtured, nourished and held safe after being at War in the world and within himself for the last five thousand years. Men, in general, are always suffering from PTSD whether they have actually been in war or not. The workforce is a very competitive battlefield for men and women.
For women Mars in Cancer helps them to raise their Power passion and be agressive strong Amazon warrior women. They can work with their own inner Animus, their inner warrior, who acts in the world on behalf of feminine desires. Most women are very masculine these days, they don’t know about being strong and Feminine at the same time especially if they have never had children.
Mars in Cancer is also repressed anger and rage. We are seeing this well up and spill over in the U.S. these days.
Mars is weak in Cancer, there can be fear to move, to act. The U.S. and Canada and many other countries are Cancer Suns, energy will be sluggish. We will retreat into our shells as crabs do. Positively Peace treaty time is one good aspect of this. Use this time to reflect and be receptive and wait..like a pregnant woman. This is not the best time to make big moves.
The Goddess energies are returning and the movement of men who embrace and serve the Goddess is getting stronger every day. Words from Jeff Brown from Apologies to the Divine Feminine from a warrior in the transition from 2010 – see link for full article below:
“I am grateful for Grandmother, for no one saw my tenderness more clearly. I am grateful for Mother, for choosing to bring me into being and for nourishing my body until I could find my feet. I am grateful for Mother Earth, for grounding my expansion and enlivening my spirit. I am grateful for the Divine Mother, the real Mother of us all. I now feel her divine presence, so close. Fiercely compassionate, she was always right here, breathing life into me, holding me safe. I sit in her lap as she breathes me.”
The warriors need to lay down their arms and to surrender, like the
Hanged Man in the Tarot, TRUMP # 12 your Card of the DAY
Men need to become Knights in shining arm, defending and integrating Feminine values and this is what Mars in Cancer will teach them to do. Men need to defend women, protect them, the children and FEMININE rights and have the freedom to express their own feelings fully. Yes, big boys Do cry. “I fight for beauty”- Daario Naharis from Game of Thrones.
Mars in Cancer governs the stomach, so much desire to stuff those feelings. The battle of the bulge will be on. Tummies will be ultra sensitive to any emotional and food upsets. Attract someone by cooking for them. The desire to reunite with family is also strong and favored.
Mars in CANCER –
Cancer governs the 4th house traditionally and that house/sign holds the key to your actual physical birth and pre-birth, to your relationship with your Mom, your early childhood, your roots, foundation, the Unconscious, your womb experiences. Any unconscious, shadow material will be activated by Mars in Cancer making you angry and lash out spontaneously. Perhaps it was your mother who was the aggressive, angry, repressed anger, dangerous one. This would be a great time to do some deep therapy work as Mars rules SCORPIO sign of psychotherapy. With Saturn at those fated last degrees of Scorpio, Mars adds ease and emphasis to accessing your ancient buried emotional treasure trove lying in your knotted up guts.
For many the idea of going home is scary as it was/is a battle zone. But this is the optimum time to heal those wounds. This may be a tumultuous time as Mars aggravates family feuds. Mars in Cancer is literally fire in water, so with the droughts in California and elsewhere, expect to see battles over water rights, and the oceans, also wetter weather.
MEANING
Surrender your ego posturing, your defenses, you need to fight and be right. Let go and allow. Honor your Feminine side, your intuition and feelings which are always clear. Positive warrior battles will take the form of being soldiers of Love, supporting women and children, cook-offs, eating contests.
Where is the Sign of CANCER in your natal chart? That is where the action is. Remember we are all family. A lot of water therapy is good, releasing in hot baths with Epsom salts. Drink lots of water. Sex in water is also favored. Have a water birth.

Mars- the red warrior planet/God, undisputed macho ruler, enters the Corporate sign in a business suit where he is an Exalted Capricorn board member March 17 going OUT OF BOUNDS!
Mars will stir up volatile passion and anger while “OOB. ” Mars stays wild untamable and in spontaneous combustion mode until April 7th staying in Cappy until MAy 15th/16th.
Capricorn is a lusty old goat sign anyways as this is the ancient PAGAN goat hoofed horned God PAN, the masculine Fertilizing energy of nature, which the Catholic church made into the DEVIL. The Card #15 in the Tarot the opposite of The Lovers #6. It can indicate “lust at first sight” energy.
Saturn =Satan who is the Devil, rules Capricorn. The two planets are in very strong positions. Saturn is at home and Mars is exalted. This is two devils in cahoots at the top of the power chain. Better the devil you know than one that you don’t.
MARS in Capricorn will definitely spice up men’s and women’s sexuality too with the added Out Of Bounds energies which is a license to do anything you want without bondage- literally, that’s what the term out of bounds means. Get FREE! It’s ironic as Capricorn is all about boundaries the limits of the physical body.
Sex in hard, rough, rocky places if you like that kind of thing and in offices on desks and in boardrooms too. Mars will be sexing up those hallowed halls of Corporate Profit to shake things up- a lot.
Capricorn is the 10th sign of career success and worldly acclaim symbolizing the pinnacle of one’s public life. Go for the top of the mountain Mars will give you extra drive and energy.
Perhaps this indicates spontaneous out of body experiences. Remember to follow the silver cord back.
This “wreck-it Ralph” energy can break up relationships or make them freer open relationships under this energy.
Mars entered Capricorn promptly squaring Aries Moon igniting a passionate flame of initiation which carries a torch directly into the Vernal Equinox March 20 when Sun enters the first sign of Aries.@ 9:15 am PDT/ 12:15 pm EDT/ 4:15 pm GMT.M
MARS will butt heads in conjunction with SATURN on APRIL 2.This would be a red letter day. The two malefic’s together.
That date can really triggerangry at your father. You may find this entire time sparking a recognition of the father in all of your relationships. This would be a good time to work through these unhealed issues.
This indicates a heightened intensity of passion reckless spontaneous road rage-heightened NRA battles and scuffles of all kinds with authorities the government police and all of those in positions of power.
What will you do with this wild untamable energy?
What do you do to soothe a wild beast? – your suggestions here…..
Mars in Capricorn in a positive sense is rock solid defenses and shows leadership courage daring openness individuality and fighting the good fight. Mars is defensive. If you need to bring on better boundaries then use Mars in Capricorn to help you to do this.
Use the O.O.B. energy to drop the defensive stance within yourself and to others. This leads to greater tenderness and vulnerability in a loving relationship.
There will be heated power plays from both sides.The opposers may light reckless fuses. The March for our lives happens during this time Those in power will up the ante in response in very tough fierce ways.
Mars out of bounds can be used to break up old patterns- which is a good thing. Headaches may be a big issue and over overheating literally. Be careful of being spontaneous kundalini rising which could risk your health.
Avoid driving too fast taking unnecessary risks and going too far out on a limb.

Sad to hear about that tragic London fire and the Republican shooter in Virginia yesterday. He had nothing to do with Bernie Sanders, and he is a lone wolf with anger issues. I am sending blessings of healing for all the victims of all these events who have passed away and who are injured.
Remember the SUN is opposite to SOBERING SATURN in SAGITTARIUS today
Sun opposes Saturn today, stay grounded
The Grim Reaper was always to blame for deaths and trouble in the world. This also affects President Trump whose birthday was the day before.
It’s a good day to get sober and to look at your life from a very hard realistic POV. Take care fo business, stay grounded.
A battle to the death of words and ideas its whats going on.
It’s good for GEMINI’s especially to grow up and mature. It affects all mutable signs of Virgo and PISCES as well at 24+ degrees.
If you feel depressed today you can sense Saturn’s heavy-duty leaden weight. depression can be a powerful and useful tool. If you suspect that anyone feels suicidal today, make sure you get them help or reach out to them.
Someone on FB asked what is going on to create this?
My first answer was that MARS is OUT OF BOUNDS. May 15- June 30th
That means that Mars, the warrior planet is not held back. He is unleashing anger in all of its fiery forms. Even though he began his wild and crazy freedom ride in GEMINI an air sign where he was warring with words. He is now simmering up emotions while he is submerged in motherly Cancer where he is not really happy.
Mars is moving from 16 Gemini to 16 degrees CANCER While he is out of bounds. Check out where those degrees are in your natal chart.
MARS will also aspects anyone who has planets at 16-29 degrees GEMINI, SAGITTARIUS, VIRGO or PISCES. Mars will aspect anyone with planets between 0-16 degrees of the Cardinal Signs, CANCER, CAPRICORN, ARIES, and LIBRA.
Mars will square Jupiter on June 24/25, trines Neptune on June 25th/26, and conjuncts Mercury on June 28. By the time Mars opposes Pluto on July 2, it will be back inside the “normal” limits of declination determined by the Sun’s upper limit. That’s probably good news.
Mark down July 2 on your calendars as this is when Mars opposes Pluto. Mars will be back in bounds, inside the “normal”limits of declination. Which is somewhat helpful.
Please share widely, all writing is copyright of Tara Greene unless otherwise indicated. Thank you to Tony Howard of Steven Forrest Astrology for doing the main research about the degrees of Mars out of bounds. I have adapted a bit. https://www.forrestastrology.com/blogs/astrology/mars-out-of-bounds-in-gemini-and-cancer-2017
The Mars-Saturn conjunction in SAGITTARIUS created a lot of devastating destruction. Two large earthquakes, one in Italy and one in Myanmar. August 23 in Cincinnati, 20 heroin overdoses were recorded and much more. MARS is also OUT OF BOUNDS, meaning he can’t be tied down. He is a loose cannon.
How was your day? I came down with a cold. My daughter was extremely emotional all day. She is a quadruple Pisces. Then she came home and was accidentally hit in the head { Mars /Aries rules the Head} by a rock,thrown by a friend. She is fine.
The energy shifts Aug 25 features Mars and Venus today, but not together.
VENUS inconjuncts URANUS in ARIES @ 24+ degrees Virgo/Aries
Isn’t it inconvenient when CHECK ONE: lovers, jobs, your health, just get up and leave?
This aspect relates to the health field and independent crazy CEO energies. The Mylan EpiPen scandal is one such a brazen indication of this. On a more personal level. Your love life is probably feeling whack a do. Your values, earnings, workplace, and health may be very up and down. You cannot contain the need for change by trying to work harder or do better. Values are crazy. Don’t worry about being weird or an individual.
Love your crazies.
Moon is in GEMINI and it fuels the fires of our split minds opposing Saturn and Mars.
Then the Moon squares Neptune to pile even higher the deception, magic, delusion, illusion, projection, and escapism onto the already heavy pyre.
GEMINI Moon inconjuncts PLUTO in Capricorn
Don’t be so greedy. Split the profits and move on. The art of the deal is speaking with forked tongue. Can’t decide which side to reward?
MARS- Out of BOUNDS in SAGITTARIUS squares NEPTUNE in PISCES in PDT just before midnight Aug 26 in EDT and GMT
NEPTUNE rules the DIVINE, the god field, the source, dreams, illusions, Hollywood, glamour, the arts, surrender, source, oil, drugs.
MARS in Sagittarius is on fire for humor, truth, justice, freedom to travel, to pontificate, and be a gypsy. You could call this the DIVINE COMEDY aspect.
The DIVINE COMEDY by WILLIAM BLAKE 1826-27
This Martial aspects brings a TRI-cornered face off now. Talk about drug overdoses! Expect more of the same. This planetary combo means: Oil spills, contamination, viruses on the loose. Hollywood shake down, entering new territory through independent foreign companies.
Aggressively seeking your soul mate.
Other possible meanings: Falling in love with an exotic foreigner, sports person or pearl diver. A dream of escape to a tropical paradise, or an undiscovered underwater hallucinogenic plant which allows us to beGod, or one who has the secret of secrets to enlightenment. Perhaps a medical miracle created from an exotic ocean species.
WHat is real and what isn’t? IS THE SUPREME question today.
Tell the truth Mars in Sagittarius insists.
Do be careful of any alcohol,or drug intake as you judgement is way off. Watch out to be lured into a dangerous situation. Don’t give monet to evangelists they are not what they seem.
You could use this time well by getting in touch with a hot inspiration to manifest your dreams. The truth or denial. Which will it be? Confront anyone you suspect of being less than honest today.
Mars in Sagittarius encourages us to walks our talk. Neptune is confused and wants to avoid all that. Hide your head in the sand, numb out with sex, drugs, shopping?
Neptune rules debt, do be careful not to buy spontaneously. People will be very distrustful of “foreigners.”
THIS ASPECT IN THE NEWS: The Burkini is banned in many places in FRANCE; Mars in Sagittarius is aggression and defensiveness against religious foreigners: Neptune rules the Beach. The woman was forced to remove her protective clothing and was given a ticket because ” she was not wearing “an outfit respecting good morals and secularism”. Perhaps something got lost in the translation, but yes she wasn’t dressed in a secular manner in a secular country. When in Rome, or in France as it were, do as they do. I am a secularist. I don’t believe that religion should be a controlling factor and shown outwardly in public, marking anyone as different than anyone else if that is a Jew, a Sikh, a Muslim or a Hare Krishna devotee. This is not racist bigotry, this is equality.
Mars will move OUT of BOUNDS on AUGUST 8th until September 23rd.
This is a big deal. What does Out of Bounds OOB mean? It has to do with the declination of the SUN. This is where the Sun travels in the sky which is also the equivalent to latitude on the Earth. The seasons are created when the Sun moves between 23.26 minutes NORTH or SOUTH of the equator. When the Sun is at 22 South 00 declination it is directly on latitude 22 degrees South latitude on the earth.
Summer in the Northern Hemisphere/ Winter in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE begins when the Sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer, a circle of latitude 23.26 degrees NORTH of the equator. Winter in the Northern Hemisphere/Summer in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE occurs when The Sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn, a circle of latitude located approximately 23.26 degrees South of the equator.
The Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere/Autumn EQUINOX in the Southern Hemisphere is when the Sun is on the Equator, it is at 00 00 declination. This is 0 Aries, the beginning of the Zodiac in TROPICAL ASTROLOGY. In the Autumn in the North/ Hemisphere/ Spring in the SOUTHERN Hemisphere the Sun again reaches the equator at 00 degrees considered to be zero degrees LIBRA.
The Southern Hemisphere signs of Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces are derived as the Sun is in these Zodiac signs when in Southern Declination. The Northern Hemisphere signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer,Leoand Virgo as the Sun is in these signs when in Northern Declination.
But, the planets, including the Moon can move beyond these boundaries. Some more often than others. Mars will pass the suns’ limits,traveling OOB, as far south as 26 degrees on September 23, a day after the EQUINOX . When planets are OOB they are wild, free and unconstrained. They are unpredictable. Mars unchained can be very dangerous an destructive. Mars hasn’t been OOB since 2001.
Mars also meets up with SATURN August 23/24 @ 9 degrees SAGITTARIUS Tropical astrology conjunct to FIXED STAR ANTARES- the rival of MARS.
ANTARES marks one of the four major ARCHANGEL STARS he is ARIEL, URIEL or ORIEL, the Watcher of the WEST. The STAR marks the heart of the SCORPIO CONSTELLATION which is Sideral. Antares Iis a super red giant star, 10,000 times brighter than our own Sun located 550 Light Years away. It is the 15th brightest star in the skies. All stars appearing red have angry, passionate, violent associations. Antares means “the rival of MARS: the planet which rules SCORPIO.
The mythology of Antares relates to the constellation of Scorpius. Gaia, the Earth Goddess sent a giant Scorpion to sting ORION the Hunter as punishment because he boasted that he was able to kill all living creatures on earth. Scorpius killed Orion, and Gaia placed them both in the heavens at opposite ends as a reminder to people to beware of excessive pride. Keep this story in mind.
In Astrology SCORPIO, is the most important and soulful sign governing the basic drives in all life, sex, death and rebirth. It is primal.
ANTARES IN ANCIENT CULTURES
In ANCIENT CHINA this star was associated with great fortune. It marked a large portion of the regal AZURE DRAGON which was considered to be wise and beneficial. In Ancient Babylon the star was called URBAT, the creator of prosperity. The EGYPTIANS worshipped this star as SELKIT heralding sunrise in her temples at the Autumn equinox and as a symbol of Goddess ISIS in pyramid ceremonies.
There is a malevolent ruthless energy associated with this star. It makes people belligerent, tough and aggressive. It is associated with military strategy, risk-taking and courage. It is associated with disasters, death and danger.
Antares, like the lowest level of the sign Scorpio is based in survival mode at the root chakra. It relates to the defenses to the passion and will to survive, the instinct to kill to feed babies in the animal world, or to defend one’s territory. That is part of own nature and our ancient reptilian brain.
Having MARS and SATURN, the “two greater malefics” conjunct ANTARES exactly AUGUST 23/24 is a very powerful portend. At that conjunction they also square the SOLAR ECLIPSE DEGREE of 9 degrees VIRGO which occurs on SEPTEMBER 1.
This is a karmic significator. We can see further destruction, violence and aggression in the world from Gaia, nature herself,with volcanoes, fires, earthquakes. And riots, wars, political unrest, man made explosions, terrorist attacks on a huge level, a 9/11 repeat. { Pluto was also at 12 degree SAGITTARIUS opposite SATURN in GEMINI at 9/11} .There is also huge dangers of major political leaders being assassinated, which is an ancient association with Solar eclipses.
All energy is neutral. MARS and SATURN can also be used for good. The MARS/ SATURN conjunction begs us to have the passion, the desire, and the drive to get to the higher truth, philosophy and the “spiritual laws” which is really what SAGITTARIUS is all about. The arrow of the Centaur aims higher to the Galactic Center to our ancient stellar origins, to our ancient knowledge of better ways, higher consciousness, as star beings evolving. We are meant to connect with this now.
This conjunction demands that we take a stand for truth and justice and create boundaries which are healthy to ensure our survival. This is not the same as Donald Trump’s proposed Mexican wall. This means boundaries around what we feel we need to be safe. This may result in walls around where refugees live. The involves limits of those who are supposed to protect our safety like the Police. Sagittarius rules politicians, the legal system, education, international affairs, and optimism. We need to do away with those who are dangerous, boastfull, arrogant and destructive to the Feminine way, to Gaia’s way of Being.
This conjunction could spell disaster for Donald Trump. 9 degrees SAGITTARIUS is conjunct to his Natal Lilith at 5+ degrees SAGITTARIUS. An angry woman may do him in. It inconjuncts his Natal Mercury at 8 degrees of Cancer. The Eclipse degree 9 Virgo is in his first house and in a wide conjunction with his Ascendant at 29 degrees LEO. Antares is opposite Trumps natal URANUS at 17 degrees GEMINI in his 10th house of wordly fame. That symbolizes a fall from power.
It could equally be hell on wheels for Hillary Clinton. The MARS/ SATURN conjunction quincunx’s {150 degrees} her 8 degree TAURUS MID-HEAVEN her highest career standing. The eclipse at 9 degrees VIRGO is opposite her 18 degree PISCES MOON. The “higher law” for being secretive and manipulative may get her.
The HEART is a very powerful symbol in the placement of this Star. If we stay in our heart centers, even in the Antares/ Scorpion heart we can still relate to love, in spite of our fears of aggression, attack, and our fears of survival.
The heart of the Scorpion is undiscovered territory. It certainly is the shadow heart. that which we do not love. Are not all hearts the same? Does the Scorpion have a truly black ruthless heart or can it be reimagined, resurrected, healed? Perhaps the heart of the Scorpion has been a victim, acting unconsciously to protect their own heart and feelings? We need to go to the HIGHER HEART chakra. This would be in the above crown chakra level. Connected to the HEART of the GALAXY.
It is very important to align with the highest level of this MARS/SATURN ANTARES energy, to discover what we are willing to fight for and defend at this time. The image I received was of a KINGHT TEMPLAR, who serves the Goddess. Meditate on what the heart of the Scorpion is in yourself. I will be doing so as well.
Meditate on what the heart of the Scorpion is in yourself. I will be doing so as well. Your feedback is greatly desired. We must do this together.
