You – Moving Forward – Mars goes direct in Leo

Ok, so maybe you feel like Sisyphus pushing that boulder since mid December. Mars retrograde can be like that. Since Mars will go direct next week (@ 0ºLeo 17″) it’s time to shift into the next gear (maybe like Sisyphus in a 4WD). I’d still wait ’til after the Sun enters Aries (3/20), i.e. the Vernal Equinox (and International Astrology Day!). I like 4/24,25,26 for starting somethin’ new. Yes, I know, Saturn is still retro ’til late May, but hey – you can wait forever for the perfect day. Life goes on. Since the average website visit is 57 seconds, here’s a brief look at where you might begin to take action and start anew: (keep in mind, this is Solar Astrology, if you know your ascendant, check that too).

  • Aries – Creativity, romance, children. Creating and procreating!
  • Taurus – Your home, family matters (the holidays are over, move on). Renovate your inner life and find a real “home”.
  • Gemini - Speaking your mind assertively. State your dreams aloud.
  • Cancer – Investing, valuing yourself, money (avoid spending just to feel good). Ask for a raise.
  • Leo - Your whole life! (and a haircut) btw: Watch President Obama show more assertiveness.
  • Virgo - Careful here with Mars in your Solar 12th house, watch the passive aggressive stuff. Try Yoga (if you’re brave Tantric).
  • Libra - Your male friends, your groups, clubs, networking. Energize and act on your hopes and dreams (with a partner even).
  • Scorpio - Your career, public image and reputation. Be the boss of you.
  • Sagittarius – Travel plans, college, getting published? Emerson said: “God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.” Keep that in mind.
  • Capricorn - Tax or insurance matters, write your will, collecting from partners, sex (business first, I understand).
  • Aquarius - Relationships (your partner may be more assertive). Watch the arguments.
  • Pisces – Take charge of your health and your job situation (they are connected).

Yep, Mercury’s Direct


Hi folks. I apologize for not posting much in May but I’ve been super busy. I hope it wasn’t too dreadful a Mercury retrograde for you. Mine was quite interesting. I like to go through boxes of old stuff during Merc Rx periods. I usually find lots of forgotten but useful bits of information. This period was no different.

So anyway, Mercury is direct but it’ll take another 10 days to get up to speed. There’s also that little square to Neptune it’s making on 6/9 which could cloud thinking during the first part of June. Proceed, but with caution.
