For pretty much the entirety of 2010, Neptune has been playing cat-and-mouse with my natal Mars. I have Mars in the 1st house near the end of Leo (26°) so I am on my third (and final, thank #@*&) pass of Neptune opposing it. February, and then the end of September through now have been [...]

Age Before Beauty!
The sun made its annual rendezvous with Saturn yesterday, and Mars and Venus will meet up together on Monday. We have to deal with the old fart first before we can move on to the virile lovers. Meanwhile, the moon is in its home sign of Cancer, and many folks have retreated under a rock [...]
Fire in the Skies (audio)
Join me for a full 30 minutes of astrological updates this Metaphysical Thursday! In this segment we look at Mars’ entry into Libra, some ayurvedic cooling practices, and sleep remedies for Aries and Libra folks.

On the Ascendant: Transiting Mars and Mars Retrograde
This post is part of an occasional series about the Ascendant in your horoscope. The Mars retrograde hullaballoo is bulldozing right over my ascendant, so I’ve been paying attention to the changes as it moves around my chart lately. I have Mars in late Leo in the 1st house, so Mars had crossed my ascendant [...]

I have a dear friend with an aspect that puzzled me for a long time. This person has Mars exactly conjunct his midheaven, at 13 Leo. I scratched my head over this for a while because he didn’t seem to exhibit many of the usual traits or issues that traditionally accompany this aspect. The usual [...]
