Conflict and Mars Retrograde

As Mars Retrograde looms on the horizon, it's important to know that different signs have different automatic responses to conflict. These comes from past lives, childhood, or both. For instance, on the downside, a Leo faced with a conflict will dig her feet in and become self-righteous. On the downside, a Scorpio will automatically get out the stinger and lash out.

Learn more about YOUR sign and how you handle conflict in ways that don't help the cause so you can grow in this area and find things that work for you.

This article Workplace Coach: Response to conflict learned at early age gives a good introduction to handling anger and conflict.

TIPS TO HELP

• Be aware of your emotional patterns.
• Understand that we co-create what's working and not working with others.
• Identify what you are feeling (feelings inform you about the importance and meaning of a situation) and then choose your behavior. Recent brain-scan research indicates that naming your feeling when upset (either to yourself or out loud) can get you out of "lizard" mode and back into prefrontal cortex thinking mode (where your odds of successful resolution are greatly enhanced).
• Get help -- hire a coach or get training in conflict resolution and interpersonal practices.
• Notice when you slip into your childhood emotional state, then choose to behave as a grownup.

Whatever your sign, there is always free will. That's where your freedom lies!
