"Self-portrait of Mars" (1915) Otto Dix as Mars God of war, chaos within self key to growth and creativity, fragmentation, rotation of stars, rearing horse, crest of antique helmut superimposed on own helmut, mingling of basic elements earth, air, fir, water.
Sunday = Sun Day.
Monday = Moon Day.
Etymology was obvious relating the planets to their days, almost convincing me there was actually something to this weekly measurement of time. But then Tuesday, like a stump in the middle of the road. Or that horrible pothole on Highland swallowing Smart Cars and Vespas alike (and jarring classic Riviera's suspension into it's mechanical skull). It's suddenly Tuesday and now I'm really not buying that Mars really has anything to with Tuesday. Still, I commit myself to the work.
Quite a pleasing Magistery of Mars under my tongue. Meditation was almost impossible, so I mostly laid there with this Red Jasper between my legs thinking about what I wanted to do today. Realizing that I have no goals. It feels very foreign and limiting to me to consider setting one. But I do everyday without thinking bout it: I want to see beauty, I want to laugh a lot, I want to make my appointment - I want to be on this cleanse, not eating food, another week.
Wow, am I sensitive right now.
I wore red and Thyme oil. As they write on the Vegan House's menu, "how spicy!". How spicy was the cinnamon in my mukuna, maca, carob, hemp, honey, orchid vanilla bean meal I imbibed. Whew. You gotta sit down.
I had to sit down today because life threw itself forcefully at me and I was annoyed and frustrated and really wanted to be alone. Much of the little I attempted failed in my eyes. I spent 20 min at a post office to find out I can't get my postcard stamps there. So I spent an hour at the other post office to find out they just sold out. So I leave and find a $50 parking ticket for an expired meter on my car. Why did the post office take so long, anyway. That lady is driving with her little accessory-dog on her lap and making some really inattentive moves right in front of me. One of my hard-to-find 5 gallon glass water containers showed algae growing inSide. Well, that's cool, but I don't think I'm gonna drink from it. Wow, I only got to keep 30% of my paycheck when all the representation commissions and payroll taxes are taken out. Wow … as a business owner I have to pay City Business Tax but can't take my IRA deduction any more? That's today. I only treated one woman poorly and for that I am thankful. She was elegant and I was angrily subdued.
Oh, according to the trusted universally-sourced Wikipedia;
"the etymology of Tuesday derives from the Old English "Tiwesdæg" and literally means "Tiw's Day"[1]. Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Norse, a god of war and law[2][3]. In the Indic languages of Pali and Sanskrit, as well as in Thailand, the name of the day is taken from Angaraka ('one who is red in colour')[4] a style (manner of address) for Mangala, the god of war, and for Mars, the red planet."
Really? The name of Tuesday in many dissimilar languages means red, war, law and specifically Mars. Really?
I gave and received massages tonite. I can see early I am going to need to work with my Mars energy. The spagyaric study says it and I get it: I get that an off-balance Mars energy does not mean I need more Venus. It means I need spend even more time with Mars. What seems like too much, is only too much poorly applied.
Ready, set … grow.

Mars when you are around, I push beyond my physical limits with ecstasy. I devour information. I focus so easily. I can concentrate my power, but communication is difficult. My words don't flow like they do when Jupiter and Mercury are around.
You've done the work, too, I see. After my initial day/planet study through spagyrics, I naturally recognized the energies I wished to work with or develop with more attention. I started with Venus, then moved to the Sun. Now I'm working with Mars, as of just this week. I really enjoy this process.
