It is time to check in. How has Mars Retrograde impacted you ? Mars is anger, sex and energy for starters. Are you unusually angry? How do you express it?What about your sex life? (excuse me) Do you have the same energy as usual? Start looking in these areas.
On January 23, 2012 Mars went retrograde. It went retrograde at 23 Virgo. It is now at 12 Virgo. Do you have planets in those degrees? Especially if a planet at the above mentioned degrees is in Virgo, Pisces, Sag or Gemini, you might be feeling it. The same for Mars ruled signs Aries and Scorpio.
I would encourage you to share before Mercury goes Retrograde on March 12. Through your sharing, you might help someone else to understand what is happening in their lives.
There perhaps is one exception to Mars Retros affecting people. I have heard from several people who have a natal Mars Retrograde, that this retro for them has been a cake. I too am A Mars Retro in my natal chart. What everyone else is experiencing right now is what we live with.
Mars Retro really does not impact someone with a Natal Mars Retro very much or the same way as others.. In fact, it seems more peaceful. Any of you have Mars Retro? Do any of you have personal planets, like Venus or Mercury retrograding in your natal chart?
Let's start discussing what a natal retrograde placement means. Let's also look at how Mars Retro is impacting your life if you were fortunate enough to be born with a Mars direct.
Please share.
Coming up: a Mutual Reception
Sounds sexy doesn't it? Mutual reception.
Let's start talking about Mercury going Retrograde on March 12. Most of you know by now what a Mercury Retrograde does to you, though the sign the retrograde is in- colors the events.
If you are new to astrology, know this is a period of communication flub-ups. You also do not want to sign any agreements, buy even a cell phone as problems most likely ensue. The wise move is watch what goes down, and consider how you could have prevented those events. Also breakups in a Mercury Retro do not last unless the relationship began in one.
Back to this retrograde: Mercury will retrograde in ARIES. What planet rules ARIES?
ARIES is ruled by the planet Mars.
May I broadcast some news which all of you probably know. Mars has been retrograde since January 23--and in what sign.......? ......VIRGO.
The sign VIRGO is ruled by mercury. Do you see the circular activity? Mercury is retrograding in the sign of Mars' rulership and Mars is retrograding in the sign of Mercury's rulership.
Recognize this is going in the sky, and babies born in this period where both planets do this moonwalk will have this configuration in their chart. This configuration is called a mutual reception.
Inevitably, I get this question from a client: is this good or bad. It is hard for me to say as I do not believe in good and bad, but it adds power to both planets and the houses they reside in or transit in.
Wherever in your chart, you have Mars in Virgo doing its moonwalk, read during the Mercury Retrograde as a mars/mercury retrograde. Look at the qualities of both planets in retro, what they can stir up, and mix it together. Then you have the complexity and clarity about that part of the mutual reception.
On the other side wherever you have Aries and Mercury retrograde as of March 12 to April 4, do the same. Look at the retrograde as Mercury and Mars retrograding there. Read as you did the above.
In a natal chart, you do the same, however often the planets are direct and very positive. Here are some examples:
Mercury in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini
Venus in Pisces and Neptune in Libra
With these mutual receptions , the most likely benefit is positive. It must be said though that Venus could be at 150 degrees from the Neptune, and could be an arm of the Yod, which is the finger of God. The odds are not there as Yods have a very tight orb...
Go peak at your own chart. Questions?

Do you have attitude?
Recently I had a friend/astrologer relate to me what a whooper of a month November was going to be. Hard, unsettling etc. I smiled at her as another friend came up to us with a t-shirt saying: This is a great day. The irony was not lost on me.
My astrology/friend has a tendency to be negative and a little fearful. I asked myself how much does she project that feeling not only in the run down of the month but also her life? Then I thought about my other friend "this is a great day", she is always happy. Is this denial?
I doubt it. It is attitude. I dug into each of their charts to see what would define attitude.
At first I thought Mercury, mind. Certainly that is part of the composition, but there is emotional element to attitude. How much doesn't come from the sun and moon, your parents? I am still working with that concept and watching "it is a great day" and how her November will be.
In astrology, there is a way you can line up the planets from the lowest degree to the highest. In this process you see how the individual handles major situations and how life situations end as well as how the person feels at the end too. Actually that particular process is enlightening to many people. One gets glimpses of attitude. How much does attitude define a transit?
I remember reading a client , who was about to have Saturn in the 8th house. I was careful how I explained it. (afterall it does touch on death) . He is a psychologist, I explained this house representsthe house of life and death, the assets of a marriage, money from other sources etc. Keeping it light, I mentioned cannibals are also represented by this house. I was quiet as he verbally imagined a cannibal walking into his practice.
Most people do not pop a bottle of champagne over this transit. The following year, this client returned. .He said: I want talk about Saturn. I can tell you what happened.
He explained that he had felt his daughter had desperately needed therapy, but he could not get her into therapy. She was okay, according to her. She attempted suicide, and of course had Daddy running to the hospital, She was okay but she at that point she realized really did need therapy. He was so grateful for the transit and what happened.
How would you have handled it? I don't know that attitude or reaction could have been mine.
Tell me what you think is a hard transit right now or a transit you fear as it is coming towards you. Let's work with it and see what might come up?
