The Somantic Dance of Mars
The Somantic Dance of Mars
Mars rules our vitality, he also rules our head,
he rules our blood and iron, and his colour's red.
Mars reigns over battle, war and strive,
he rules the surgeon and the knife.
Mars can find his satisfaction,
whenever we are taking action,
when we challenge something underhand,
or when we're roused to make a stand.
Our use of Mars may be distorted,
because our early will was thwarted,
our parents called it "the terrible twos"
when we first expressed our wills and views
Deimos and Phobos, (fear and fright)
are the Moons that travel with this might,
and it's with their energy we’re engaged,
when we express ourselves in rage
But if we never scream nor shout,
if we never work, nor stamp it out,
then through our body Mars will reign,
with fever, depression, ache or pain.
When Mars in Aries should see red
but holds an olive branch instead,
he might feel an ache within his head,
or fever can drive him to his bed.
Mars in Taurus says 'oh what the heck',
and gets it in the throat and neck,
with Mars in Gemini it lands,
in his chest, or on his hands.
When Mars in Cancer's feeling rummy,
he gets to feel it in his tummy,
and Mars in Leo rules divine,
over heart, virility and spine.
Mars in Virgo's introspection,
gives him problems with digestion.
Mars in Libra gets his attack,
via his kidneys or at his back.
Mars in Scorpio can find destruction,
via the organs of reproduction.
while Mars in Sagittarius' demise,
comes about in hips and thighs.
Mars in Capricorn will sneeze,
or suffer pain within his knees,
he can feel Mars undertones,
anywhere within his bones.
Mars in Aquarius will frown,
as his ankles let him down,
and Mars in Pisces is heard to bleat,
oh my poor, poor, aching feet.
Should we decide to vent our will?
Will we suffer while it makes us ill?
I believe we all have a choice,
as to how our Mars is given voice.
