No to exactly brag, but the whole primary election for the Republican Party was framed by the Mars Rx. Now that Mars is direct the candidate has been chosen and Pisces Romney is the soon to be anointed and headed to a show down in November. One thing to note while we are on the subject of Mitt–his natal Mars is at 6 degrees of Pisces, Mercury at 13 and Sun at 21. This means simply that Mars in Virgo, now direct and headed towards Libra, will transit in opposition to all this planets. What could this mean? It means that there will be more tough sledding for Mitt. THis natal Mars rules his 12th house and one might bet that something from his past besides, flopping, tax dodging and shape shifting will lift its head. Note, please, that I predicted the rise and fall of the N. Ginridge’s run in the primary. While it might be argues that his decline may not have been a tough call, it was the response to the Eclipse on his moon that cause the ascendency. Then with the colony on the moon, the wives problem, bouncing checks it is a miracle that he did rise at all–and you heard it first here.
Mitt has other issues, the Mars Mercury opposition opposition controls Romney’s 1 and 5 houses. Certainly he will continue to make strange speech and he may be more than accident prone. Still it is the Virgo 5th house that is of interest in that it is there that his Neptune. Now to this astrologer and palmist this can only mean that some illusion about money or relationships must come out. While I doubt Mitt has sex in the closet, one of his aids may have something come out as a bit over the line. The larger possibility is that more double talk about his fiances and demand for his tax records will put pressure on him. One of the interesting things about his chart is the sun Jupiter conjunction in 27 Scorpio which will be opposed by Jupiter at the end of May. One it would be an unknown health issue, or a business issue, but my vote is that it will be more of the hidden family issues that will come to light.
For those of us who would just like to know what the Mars Direct in Virgo means, I can say that for all earth signs, especially Taurus will have good luck and discover that there is still hope in their lives for advancement, marvel, and good sense. Mars to me will add energy in all mutable signs because it will be sending hard aspects to spur them on to try new ideas, or at least put their shoulder to the wheel.
Fire signs, for this astrologer will find themselves having to sort out issues that they thought had already been dealt with, or encounter new ideas that take time to figure out.
Air signs will experience a need for more exacting speech and analysis, but over all the intellectual nature of air will make this more of an annoyance than a hindrance.
What about Venus Rx. Well I am going to be a bit coy here and talk about it at greater length in my next blog. Or you can come to the Santa Monica Astrological Meet up 5/6 where I will be on a panel.
Two things to consider, 1) Inana will descend into hell and come back pissed off as hell, 2) Relationships will be tested, both personal and politically. Friendships may change. Past relationships may be reconsidered. See you next time, here–your Uncle Astrologer. SG
