The Wiccan Book of Days for April 10th – Macho Mars
The planet Mars has been regulating affairs on Earth ever since the zodiacal month of Aries began on around March 21, and its influence has, by now, become particularly powerful. Its hue, the color of blood, caused the Romans to name the “Red Planet” after Mars, their God of war, and its sigil represents a warrior’s round shield from which protrudes a spearhead. That this symbol also signifies maleness in biology, and iron in alchemy, attests to just some of the traditionally masculine qualities that Mars embodies, according to astrological belief, such as energy, virility, passion, courage, aggression, single-mindedness, and hardness.
A Will of Iron
Even the gentlest personality needs to be assertive once in a while, and if you are steeling yourself for a confrontation, why not arm yourself with some of Mars’s spirit and determination by wearing an iron pendant or bangle?
