The astrology of motivation, drive, and what you can't stand.
Today we’re diving deep into Mars — the planet of motivation, drive, and embodied action.
Mars gets a bad rap as the planet of war, anger, or aggression. But really, Mars is your inner fire — your energy source, your spark, your passion, and your ability to go after what you want.
In this ep, we unpack how Mars shows you:
What fuels your motivation and keeps you moving forward
Where in your chart action, courage, and frustration live
Why your Mars placement reveals your leadership style (and what drives your work life)
How to channel your Mars energy into your body through movement, ritual, and embodiment practices

This episode will help you reconnect with your drive, find your natural rhythm of action, and use frustration as fuel for growth instead of burnout.
