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.

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 i know shes/he’s waiting try a little tenderness 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.
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- 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-PersonallyBR> Planets or angles in your chart at 27 degrees of all fixed signs will be respectively hit- 27 degrees of Scorpio and Aquarius 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 backstep through to 24 degrees of Gemini 05 minutes, so 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 at You’ll feel Mars retrograde opposing you if you have planets, angles, etc at Need Mars Retrograde Medicine?
