Description
The archetypal trajectory of Mars contains two dimensions: the emotional (Scorpio) and the spiritual (Aries). Both reveal the two dimensions of the battle with oneself as an integral dimension of one’s own unique and inimitable individuation process. On one hand, the development of emotional depth requires us to actively pursue the path of processing our own psychic historicity. On the other, we need to become the ‘warriors’ for the integrity of our own ability to sustain and nourish our personal spirit. It is only when we do both tasks simultaneously that the emergence of courage, as one of the most valuable products of the individuation process, is facilitated.
