Why do Mars and the Sun merge to use ORANGE for planetary remediation when it comes to Chart Harmony?
I’m so glad you asked!
It’s the patriarchy.
It’s toxic masculinity.
It’s hustle culture.
It’s the undervaluing of the more nurturing and receptive energies in our society.
So, even though — in planetary remediation — MARS is RED and the SUN is GOLD, in Chart Harmony, these two share ORANGE.
Obviously, if you are someone who can detect the nuance in a situation to the extent that you KNOW it’s a Mars issue and not one ruled by the Sun, feel free to do your Chart Harmony remedies with a little more granularity and specificity!
As always, with Chart Harmony, it’s your INTENTION that matters far more than your precision.
Chart Harmony is here to help you cut through the overwhelm of astrology, allowing you to bring a little childlike glee to your practice of getting to know yourself better, one glyph at a time. Yay! Wanna hang out? Come join our Discord!
