This Week March 8 to 13 - Mars Direct and Barack Obama

This week Mars ends the long retrograde period that began in December, making a station, (appearing to stop in the sky) and turning direct. Now Mars is the planet of action, in retrograde motion he puts a damper on any endeavor. Projects and plans suffer many starts, sputters, and stops while Mars is in retrograde motion. Mars goes direct on Wednesday, March 10th. Leo Barack Obama who has been pussy footing around the health care issue since last fall will pick up the gauntlet and begin aggressively pursuing his goals. Mars will give him the juice. During the retrograde period he has been positioning himself and strategizing. Direct Mars says planning and positioning is over, time to take action. He has from now until June to get the job done. Mars will give him the pump as he rolls over Obama’s Leo planets. He has already started ahead of the direction change. On the 29th of March Mars will join forces with Obama’s Mercury. This could signal some news or the signing of important documents. Leo Barack Obama will not lose this fight. Leo’s love the limelight, love to be on stage and they do not like to lose face. Leo’s are fixed signs and when they put their minds to it, they have an iron will. This week Venus makes important aspects on the day before Mars turns direct and on the day after. On Tuesday, Venus opposes Saturn in the sky. Venus rules money, Saturn rules contraction and restriction. The Dow closed lower today, Monday the 8th. On Thursday, Venus, the money gal, squares off with Pluto. Pluto rules big government, big banks, and big power structures. Venus is in his face. Venus likes fair and equitable. Pluto likes power. This is going to be an interesting week as we watch the markets and Obama take the gloves off and get down to some bare knuckle fighting.
