Why this ritual
Mars, the fiery planet of action and desire, is the cosmic warrior urging us to step boldly into our passions and pursuits. In a bustling city like Singapore, where the pace is as swift as the MRT during peak hours, channeling Mars' energy can provide the extra push needed to tackle challenges with vigor and confidence. This ritual is designed to tap into Mars' motivation and courage, helping you to break through inertia and ignite your inner drive.

- Cinnamon incense or essential oil (for stimulation and warmth)
- A small piece of carnelian or red jasper (to ground and energize)
- Journal and pen (for reflections and intentions)
- A glass of water (for balance and clarity)
- A quiet space where you won't be disturbed
Steps
1. Set the Scene: Begin by finding a quiet space. Light the red candle, symbolizing Mars' fiery energy. As the flame flickers, take a moment to center yourself.

Aftercare
After completing the ritual, take a moment to rest and integrate the energies. Keep your journal handy to jot down any thoughts or inspirations that arise over the next few days. Consider placing the carnelian or red jasper somewhere you'll see it often, as a reminder of your intentions and the courage you hold within.
Cautions
While working with Mars' energy can be invigorating, it's important to balance it with rest and reflection. Avoid rushing into decisions or actions without considering their impact. If you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and ground yourself before proceeding. Additionally, ensure your space is well-ventilated when using incense or essential oils.
