If you’re feeling anxious or obsessive….
Keep busy and keep working. That should help for now. OK, back to this pile on my desk.

Carl-Henric Svanberg (May 29, 1952), the Gemini Chairman of BP says : “We care about the small people”. Tony Hayward (May 21, 1957) CEO of BP says “I want my life back”. Would somebody please cap the flow of bullshit spewing from their mouths?
The Moon is in Virgo today, conjoining Mars, and the “small” people are pissed. In fact, there hasn’t been this much tension between Great Britain and the Gulf Coast since 1814. Andrew Jackson must be rolling in his grave.

Venus enters fiery Leo this morning and will immediately form a trine to Uranus and Jupiter in Aries. This will be an exciting day for many, with the potential for love at first sight (or surprising romantic revelations), as well as unexpected financial opportunities. Pay close attention to the people who come into your life today. Those individuals born around 3/21, 7/23, or 11/23 could benefit the most (early Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius). On Tuesday, July 15, Mars in Virgo will trine Pluto in Capricorn. This would be a powerful day to start a business, or most ventures, for that matter. Those born in late April, August, and September (early Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) will ge the most out of this aspect. Carpe Diem!

This morning Mercury entered Gemini, the sign it rules. It will form a T-square with Mars in Virgo and Chiron in Pisces (having recently stationed retrograde at 0º Pisces). In plain English: Watch your words. There’s a tendency to argue or let ego get in the way of communication with this configuration. Folks used to say to their kids: “sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you”. Yeah, yeah….
Poet Maya Angelou has another take:
“I believe that words are things. Someday we will be able to know and measure, as mad as it sounds, we’ll be able to measure the hostility or kindness that emanates from certain words that people exhume when they say certain things. I think they stick on the walls, they go into the upholstery, they go into your clothes, and finally into your very body.”
AstroLogic 6/7/10 – Mars in Virgo
So Mars finally entered Virgo, after an extended stay in Leo due to the retrograde. The god of war is now in the sign of service. Action is now more fine tuned and precise. Hopefully Mars in this detail oriented, analytical sign will help solve the Gulf Oil disaster. Mars in Virgo is the specialist who takes the time to perfect his craft. Both Robert E. Lee (1/19/1807) and George S. Patton (11/11/1885) had Mars in Virgo. Imagine if Patton were in charge of the Gulf clean up? We’d all be out on the beach scoopin up tar balls. BP executives would be groveling at his feet. Here’s George C. Scott from the film “Patton” to get you going (if you have the patience to watch him in all his politically incorrect splendor). Serve.

The Moon’s still in Pisces today and will oppose Saturn in late Virgo tonight at 9:36 PM (ET- US). There’s also a Moon / Saturn parallel. This is not a very emotionally satisfying combo. But wait! In the middle of the night (or this evening in Europe), the Moon will meet up with Jupiter at the end of Pisces, will enter Aries after after a one minute void, and will then conjoin Uranus moments later. Wow, I’m sure there will be lots of spontaneous, alcohol induced, hook-ups tonight. Have fun, be safe. We’ll talk about Jupiter in Aries later.
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).
