Mars moves into Gemini: suprising grace

Last week, I discussed the power of making a Decision, No Matter What.
This could be around a specific result you want in your business, or it could be a feeling you want as you create through your marketing, offers and even implementing systems.
This week, with the Sun moving into Leo, the sign it rules (and with Mercury and Venus in Leo), we have the potential to connect in a stronger way with our own Sun energy: that's to say, the creative and self-expressive side that every leader embodies in their own way but that has in common the Source-Given sense of worthiness that often gets squashed in the day to day pressures of living on planet earth.
As entrepreneurial leaders seeking to elevate consciousness, it's our own desire to be/model this worthiness (while remaining grounded and present with our more vulnerable sides and being willing to see our shadows) that inspires our clients and those we are committed to serving through our businesses to shine their own unique creativity forth, however they are divinely guided to do so.
The fears around this and what we might attract are very real and as I forget myself from time to time, they are not personal but archetypal for us women.
In Denise Duffield Thomas' Chill and Prosper, she goes into the Witch Wound for women. Margaret Lynch has also spoken powerfully how scary it is for women to show up more fully and to be seen.
If you have your Human Design in a projection field (or even key planets, to a lesser extent), this can be especially intense as you are dealing with some significant karmic factors surrounding the collective as part of your service. This is something we'll address, if we decide to work together.)
So, number one is to exercise compassion for yourself. It can feel very hard.
But while you definitely need to be consistent with your efforts in order to develop your skill level, overall confidence and desired results, creativity is different.
Slogging it out for hours at a time or remaining overly disciplined can be counter-productive....
We sense this. And it's why those "who do I think i am?" etc questions really come up when we embrace more of this side.
As Mars leaves prepares to leave Taurus and move into the sign of Gemini on June 20, consider playing a fun Gemini pastime with your brain: Devil's Advocate and arguing both sides...For real. (We can also consider applying this in all kinds of ways in our business...you could even think about crafting your offers with this in mind for example.)
Treat the fears and doubts, no matter how painful or dumb as though they're real. They are real to you. Answer them "logically" to see what specific answers you get when you ask those questions or your own.
It may lead to some real insight that can actually help you clean something up. Or you may decide when you see it all written down that they're ridiculous. Or both.
Ask those same questions but from the other angle "why shouldn't I get to do this, be this, have this?" Really. "Who don't I think I am?" "If I acted in this supposedly selfish/greedy/lazy/self-centred/arrogant/entitled way, who would it serve?" How would your family, community, country, the world benefit?" Write it down.
If there's anything you think you can actually improve in a constructive way, great.
But what's the Truth? Where can you make space in your week to commit to the Truth by taking a small step, whatever that looks like for you.
At this point in your business and your life, you KNOW you're a leader or businesswoman of integrity who truly wants to help others, not rip them off (an interesting August Mercury retrograde theme as well I’ll be addressing.)
It's a non-question, really. (and if you aren't that, well you need to leave, so bye.)
Yes, you have plenty of imperfections and complex shadows, because you're human but mostly, you have an overactive critical inner voice combined with thousands of years of punitive conditioning especially for women that wants to keep you safe.
