- Astrology: Current Events + (Mars, light)

[D217]

What's happening now & how is it affecting you? In light of Mars going direct (in Libra) earlier this week, I've noticed a huge upsurge in my life- energetically speaking. Mostly involving communication w/in certain existing relationships (+), new relationships (+), mental expansion, as well an improvement to my overall attitude & physical endurance... Anyone else rejoicing &/or passed being tested by this drab & drawn out retrograde period..?! Anything else goin on..?!

Mars usually does not effect everyone like Mercury when retrograde. If Natal Mars is placed so it interacts with transiting Mars, then one would see some 'action'.
My husband was influenced this go around, he has Mars in Libra at 8 degrees, so when Mars crossed over- he got his boxers in a bunch right before Mars went direct. So I was effected, but indirectly. He has since calmed down, but the 'party is not over'.

I noticed that the Aries I know also had an 'irritation' as got all buggered up at about the same time, but also has calmed down since Mars has gone direct.

Retrogrades can be quite the challenge, especially when they are getting ready to go direct.
