MARS ALERT! MARS Retrograde Nov. 15 @ 3:40:55 EST/8:40:55 GMT
Mars attacks-not! Testosterone takes a tumble.
Mars the planet of men, actions, defenses, eros, independence, the military, war, competitiveness, anything sharp, athletes,
fire and heat begins his defensive backwards moves from 12 degrees 27 minutes of Cancer-sign of Home, Security, Mom, roots,
nurturing, food-and the U.S.'s Sun Sign and Canada’s too! Cancerian feelings come first now.
Mars will be perigree- closest to the Earth from the time he moves backwards, think "moon-walk" steps, which peaks at the
Sun-Mars opposition Dec. 24th Have yourself a merry little Xmas? this close shave continues all the way through to the end
of the Retrograde Jan. 30 2008 when Mars will end his journey at 24 degrees Gemini 05 minutes.
This is a two and a half month period of high tension and conflict. Mars Retrograde inflames tempers, rashness, violence,
and explosions. Family conflicts, right to lifers going berserk, water problems, {Cancer} fertility, conception, abortion,
clean water, water rights etc.
SUN SIGNS -who Gets affected most by the Mars Retrograde
Mars Retrogrades from 12 degrees + of Cancer, a sign in which Mars is considered to be in detriment-not strong naturally and
will Retrograde back to 24 degrees + of Gemini. Mars covers all of the degrees and dates in between the two dates. If you
know your chart any planets or angles at these degrees will be affected.
CANCER born JULY 3RD back to GEMINI till JUNE 15 –you get the direct hit
LIBRA born OCT 6th back to VIRGO born SEPT 18th –you get squared – a Martial aspect anyway-stressful
ARIES born- APRIL 3rd back to PISCES born MARCH 15th –you get the Mars Rx Square- stressful
CAPRICORN born Jan 3rd back to Sagittarius born Dec. 15th –you get the opposition- should I stay or should I go go?

Mars rules the Signs of Aries and Scorpio. Therefore Mars Retrograde affects all 1st house, Aries type issues, of Self, “I”,
ego, life force, libido, independence, assertiveness, spirit, initiating + all Scorpionic 8th house issues of Death, rebirth,
sex, other people’s money, taxes, garbage, power, control, secrets, nuclear power, the collective unconscious, soul,
transformation and all fixed emotional issues.
All of those issues for each of us both personally and collectively are going to be rehashed, remashed, revoked, remembered,
reactivated and Reflected upon during the Mars Retro.
Mars retreats. This is a good thing. In War when the signs are clear that you cannot win the smartest thing to do is retreat
and surrender. The dumbest thing to do when threatened is to fake out your own defenselessness and attack even harder.
This time period may signal a stall in rampant consumerism. aggressive purchasing slows down because awareness dawns that
that big empty hole just simply cannot be filled by whatever anymore. Better to take to a warm bed, grab a hot water bottle
and surrender. I predict a big reversal in the usual Xmas consumerism to a simpler, family oriented, real giving value to
the Holiday season.
Testosterone takes a tumble. Your love life will stall, no amount of Viagra can get this one up. The Masculine power-over
trip is signaling it’s flaccid reality. Guys, and ladies this could be a very good sweet thing. No more wham bam thank
you ma’am sex. Try a little tenderness. You can make fantastic sweet love without doing the ‘in-out.” Like
the Oriental parking attendant used to say to my husband when he left the lot and came back too often-“No MORE IN-OUT
FOR YOU.”
So here’s the song lyrics for that song of the Day-with a bit of a change up for equality and cross dressers
Try A Little Tenderness Otis Redding
oh she/he may be weary
them young girls/boys they do get wearied
wearing that same old miniskirt/business suit dress
but when she/he gets weary
you try a little tenderness
i know shes/he’s waiting
just anticipating
the thing that you’ll never never possess
no no no
but while she/he there waiting
try just a little bit of tenderness
thats all you got to do
now it might be a little bit sentimental no
but she/he has her greaves and care
but the soft words they are spoke so gentle
yeah yeah yeah
and it makes it easier to bear
oh she/he wont regret it
no no
them young girls/boys they don’t forget it
love is their whole happiness
yeah yeha yeah
but its all so easy
all you got to do is try
try a little tenderness
yeah
all you got to do is - know how to love her/him
you've got to, hold her/him
squeeze her/him, never leave her/him
now get to her/him
got got got to try a little tenderness
yeah yeah
lord have mercy now
all you got to do is take my advice
you've got to hold her/him
squeeze her/him, never leave her/him
you've got to hold her/him
and never
so you got to try a little tenderness
a little tenderness
a little tenderness
a little tenderness
you've got to
got to got to
you've gotta got to got to
try a little tenderness
ye
Living on Mars in the near future? I don’t think so. Life forms will be found on Mars. Maybe we’ll even receive
a visit from some Martians who came back to earth to pick up something they forgot a few millennia ago.
On a personal level be very careful of fires, using dangerous materials, accidents and Rage. Expect strong activation of the
tectonic plates and volcanic explosions. This time period will erupt old vendetta and revenge issues, may disruption gas and
oil supplies and provide defensive maneuvers in the financial markets. Terrorist attacks and rampant violence, as everything
that's been held down, suppressed, repressed comes barreling out to battle.
This is not necessarily all bad. Retrograde Mars in Cancer symbolizes the reactivation of repressed female anger. Reactions
against women’s traditional roles as mothers and homemakers-a good thing for Hillary Clinton, who is using this tactic
in her campaigns now. A resurrection of the Female Shadow warrior. She isn’t all peaceful and good, not always nurturing.
Mars Retrograde is analogous to KALI the Dark feared Black mother, the shadow Mother, Lillith-like, who reminds us that she
can bring death as well as Life.

| Hindu Goddess Kali |
As Mars rules Scorpio sign of Birth, Death and Trans-formation I see this time period as renewing right to die issues, women’s
desire to have natural, untampered with techno-births, changes in treating the dying, to a broader dying at home with the
family and not drugged out in hospitals under military type of care. Issues about clean water, safe water, and water rights.
I would say that all male {Mars} warmongering is a psychological/biological re-action to the Fear of the dominance of Mother,
she chooses which sperm gets to be immortal, she carries the precious new life, she labors and gives birth, she can reject
you, hurt you, deny you, destroy you, just like Mother Nature. So expect Mom Nature to turn nasty, food shortages, food spoilage,
etc.
I think this is a good humbling and humility-making event. In India the Great Goddess Kali is always worshipped. offerings
are made to appease her wrathfulness. Awareness and awe is always held for her immense power as creatress, protectress nurturer
and destroyer.
If the U.S. is going to attack Iran I believe that it will be between these time periods, as the election is upcoming and
that way Bush can call a State of War and cancel any chance of democracy and elections. Note that there are also huge planetary
Sign ingresses during this time period. Jupiter enters Capricorn Dec. 18th, Pluto enters Capricorn Jan. 25th 2008 and this
is a Major Turning Point in History.
The Zero Degree Point of Capricorn, the Winter Solstice Point is the 10th House Cusp in the Natural wheel of the Zodiac, as
such it symbolizes “HIGH NOON” so it is called the WORLD STAGE point. And remember, that point, is the fabled
2012 “end date” of the Mayan calendar- is now only 5 years away.
Mars Retrograde in Cancer stirs up deep emotions, rooted ones, stomach upsets, going over your personal history with Mom,
reflecting on being nurtured, home renovations, insecurity, a turn down in real estate, definitely the U.S. going further
down the tubes, and most activities around women’s issues, children, child care, and putting children’s and mother’s
rights first, being reviewed.
So a good time to get back to that novel you never finished, the repairs incompleted. All retrograde periods bespeak the need
for REST. In this too fast paced world, even my nine year old daughter says time is going too fast-
We need to slow down. This is the darkest time of the year, we need to be hibernating in caves, in earth wombs like the bears.
So use this 2 and ½ month period to rest, renew, re-martial, re-negotiate, reneg on doing things that don’t feel right.
Trust your gut at all times during this period. Re-Nurture your self and all those you love. Regress if necessary. Keep a
teddy bear close at hand. Cry at will for the woes of the world. Shedding tears is a cleansing, and better than bloodshed.
Feel your way through how you re-act about things in your life. Reactions implies an emotional karmic elastic snapping kind
of way of doing things. Reactions come from instinctive emotional ties, unconscious ones.
Mars retrograde is a great time to heal from all your unconscious reactions, which are both connected to Cancer and Scorpio.
This is very empowering in an authentic way, open and allows one to operate in a non defensive way.
ASTROLOGICALLY-Personally
If you have personal planets, lunar nodes, Ascendant or Mid-Heaven {10th house cusp} at 11-14 degrees of Cardinal signs, especially
Cancer or Capricorn, this transit hits you the most directly at the beginning and the hardest.
CANCER born @ July 5th

CAPRICORNS Born Jan 5th-
opposition
ARIES born April 1st-4th
square
LIBRA born- Oct 4-6th you’ll feel the square of this simmering down heated stew the most acutely.
Planets or angles in your chart at 27 degrees of all fixed signs will be respectively hit with the semi square-
TAURUS -born May 18th,19th
LEO born @ Aug. 20th
SCORIOS born Nov. 19th,20th
AQUARIUS born Feb 16 & 17th
You get the 135 degree sesquiquadrate-in other words a square and a half to you, this is a whammy and a half square.
Mars will backstepping through to 24 degrees of Gemini 05 minutes, so any planets etc. falling within that that 18 degrees
12 minutes of the Zodiac will be directly contacted by Mars.
If you have planets, angles, ascendant or mid-heaven, you’ll feel the square
Born between April 2nd to March 16th-
The Aries people feel the Retro first and then the Pisces people. Everyone born in between these dates will progressively

Born between Sept 17- Oct.6th The HArd Square-
Libra's born Oct 6th back to Virgo's born Sept 17th. The Librans feel the Square 1st then the late degree Virgos feel it
during Jan to the end of Jan.
You’ll feel Mars retrograde opposing you if you have planets, angles, etc.
CAPRICORNS born Jan 3rd get the initial square and all the way through to the beginning of the sign. SAGITTARIUS born De.
