Well the Moon is moving toward asteroid Eros in Taurus but that should really evoke a general atmosphere of sleaze? I think not. I am attempting to tune into Neptune trine my Moon but first the Tiger Text Messages – already been turned into a rap song, apparently – and  now further sleaze re the Sandra Bullock marriage. Yes, she’s married to the Dude.

And yes, I have had several requests for a peek at the astro behind this. I’m not touching Tiger.

So thoughts on the Sandra Situation.

* Infuriating as it would be to find out your husband had been cheating on you with a sort of bikie porn star (as was the husband’s ex-wife) just as you win an Oscar, she has Mars and Venus in Gemini…I reckon she wanted something a little bit diff. She met him when Neptune was on her Moon so maybe she was a bit addled and – am trying to think of Anglican metaphor here – motivated by factors other than her brain. Cliterate.

* She got Jesse James, an Aries bikie/tv star (of a show called Monster Garage)/entrepeneur a.k.a. as Vanilla Gorilla by his Mistress.

* Stating the ravingly obvious, Vanilla Gorilla’s Ex-Wife (and mother of his daughter) is a heavily inked up Scorpio Adult Movie Actress. The new mistress is also a very inked adult movie sort of a siren – Whether she wants to or not, Sandra Bullock cannot get inked because it would limit her choice of mainstream movie roles. But CLEARLY the Aries dude has a type.  Not that it excuses his cheating on her but it’s interesting, no?

* This all came to light with Mars Retro. So it’s been screwing around (so to speak) since last October and now all this hidden stuff is coming to light. Venus Retrograde in SCORPIO later in the year is going to be even more such fun. Check this out if you have not already!

* Ms Bullock is a Leo with Kataka Rising – hence ability to be both movie-star and connect with les peeps/seem empathetic and vulnerable etc. Pluto is coming up to pulverise transit her Descendent aka cusp of House of Love…It’s not exact yet but near enough. This would have been a nasty shock. She should  have been a MAJOR catch for the Aries Dude. I don’t want to sound snobby and true love crosses boundaries etc but do admit that Vanilla Gorilla was punching above his weight when dating – let alone marrying – Sandra Bullock.

* Her current big transit other than Pluto is Uranus squaring her Mars & Gemini…always a surprise. But Jupiter is on her Midheaven (career transcendence) and maybe this is clearing out the crap before a Plutonic Soulmate pops up with the exact conjunction of Pluto to her Dsc. It’s happened before. So now she is enraged or thinking why-why-why – AND she has spent a lot of time in court, helping Vanilla out with his custody battles – but soon she will be on her knees, in tears of happiness and gratitude thanking Mighty Aphrodite for delivering her from the arms of this sleazy prick.

* His Mars is opposite her Mars-Venus. Excellent for bedwork, of course, but Mars opposite Mars can work at cross purposes with one another.

Great Demons, reading an in-box full of grizzling with a crook neck ain’t easy.

I never said Mars Direct would deliver you your rose garden, studly soulmate, hand-crafted box with a million $$$ cash inside it and holy secret of enlightenment.

Noooo. But DO admit that there was some sort of shift last week, when Mars moved. I felt it. My neck felt it. And just watch how quickly things gather momentum as Mars picks up speed.

General notes on Mars in Leo: It’s a show-offy vibe. So if you’re making new plans, you don’t bother keeping them secret. You tell the world. Or if there is a good reason to keep them secret, you luridly relay all to your confidantes/court sychophants or you pace luridly about in a suitably Leonic scheming gown…

Things are happening, things are moving…rather than fretting up into such a frenzy that you wig out, do the oh-my-goddings great insights thing with the New Moon coming & compulsively groom your way out of any funk. And besides, Mars is not only still moving quite slowly – albeit forward – it’s Mars in LEO….Being sextiled by Saturn.

Do Leos move fast? Or do they take a long time to get ready? Does Saturn slow things down or speed them up? Things are happening, they will soon speed up and you’d better be ready! April is quite the ride.

Mars is nearly Direct again, I promise. More action soon.

And the Monthly Scopes (Oestro-Medusa) for March are up for subscribers…

Mars has just 14 more days until it is Direct.

Before then, no batty hair urges, lawsuits or random bitcherel.

This applies to Aries, Leo and Capricorn in particular…

What’s good about Mars Retro in Leo? You have most likely drawn up a powerful & strategic ‘battle plan’ in recent months & that’s brilliant. Benefits show up radically in mid-May. I don’t mean no advance till early June – just that June is when you wow yourself and other peeps out with the realization of your plan.

Mars Retro can evoke a sense of useful urgency that abets you making progress, even if it’s a bit hush-hush for a while.

There is absolutely no point taking Mars Retrograde too personally. Or becoming unbecomingly raddled as you await it being Direct. Because you may as well know that it is Direct on March 11 but out of Shadowzone in  mid-May. Mars out of Shadowzone sounds like something that Darth Vader or Sauron might like to keep an eye on but it’s actually just when Mars gets back to the point it was at when it went Retrograde.

So you see that there is absolutely no point sitting around being neurotic about things that don’t move quickly enough for your, well, ego.

Emma Summerton

You need to sit tight, meditate, send Mars energy up the wazoo of whatever house it is skulking in and think of all the ways in which a delay now is completely brilliant for you and your strategy. Because you have a strategy, don’t you? Mars retreats back so that you can develop a strategy. Not sit around seething.

Anyway, the Full Moon on Feb 28/March 1 is in VIRGO…so surely freaking out over diets and details should provide some welcome distraction from what’s-not-moving-fast-enough-in-your-ego-diva-sector-of-Leo?

Or you could keep in training for when Saturn heads back into Virgo in April…See, plenty for pent-up Mars-peeps to do. And just watch your stalled situation move fast from mid-March, faster even in mid-May…

More? It’s in Martian Bats

So, here is a quick take on the current Mars-Venus situation.

As you know Mars is Retrograde. You don’t chase when Mars is Retrograde. You expect certain peeps to back WAY off and that’s fine. There is always something else productive to do.

Venus has just hooked up with Jupiter. Something – a crush, an attraction, a dispute, your emo, whatever – is expanding way up. Out. You get my point. Jupiter maxes out whatever it’s touching.

Venus then goes bingling onto an early March conjunction with Uranus. Heh heh. Venus Uranus is when things out themselves. Contact is made. Surprises occur. The unsayable is said. Mega-eccentric flirting and/or a catalyst.

Then Venus trines a still-Retro Mars on the 7th/8th – more smooth & harmonious relating etc – opposes Saturn on the 9th (limitations, reality checking) and then Mars goes Direct on the 11th and Venus in Aries promptly squares Pluto: very, very sexy and cathartic…especially with Mars on the move forward again. Mars does not get back to the degree he was at when he went Retro until May so deep breaths & stop expecting everything to manifest this minute.

I cannot believe that I – a Mercury in Aries person – just typed that. But it is true. Only the Aquarius stuff goes fast right now; The social consciousness, the hi-Qi evolution, the brainwaves & dreaming. Love – generally Mars and Venus linked – is a game. For now. Thinking of it in those terms will help.

And it’s all to do with a process that began back in October…Play it out!

Right now, Mars and Saturn are Retrograde. And linked in such a way that they could work awesomely together in tandem.

Given that these are powerful, action-planets & that Saturn lends wisdom to the oomph of Mars + their being retrograde is about a revision, it makes sense to look at where they are in your chart.

Mars is at 6 Leo and Saturn at 4 Libra. ie; the very early degrees of these signs. Find which house (chart sector) these are in your chart and think about what to do with that area of life can be ruthlessly revamped and with great glee.  Because that’s the kind of energy it is and it’s totally worth tapping into.

Think: Extra willpower, elegant control and chic assertion in the areas of your scope/chart/life where you have early Leo and early Libra. Also that the arena for this steely evolution is one that has been activated since early last November.  And that you’re kind of stuck at this point, going back and forth until you totally get something. Like, REALLY get it. Grokking the issue du jour.

Think this through enough and you will get an ‘aha’ moment.

Astro-Cliche or not, Crab-Peeps are the WORST clutterers and hoarders. They cling tenaciously to even the most naff bit of memorabilia, clearly inappropriate clothing from centuries ago and non-needed administrivia. And I ADORE Cancerians but this trait irks my Mars in Virgo. So now it seems that Lindsay Lohan is to get her apparently hideously cluttered home uncluttered on American television.

Despite all the allegations, craziness, non-knickers-wearing, dionysian revels, flake stuff, I still love LL. Okay, mostly because of Mean Girls, which was a long time ago. But wouldn’t it be unreal if the big clean-out helped to fix her life up? That image above, btw, is of her bedroom.  Lindsay has a hardcore Mars in Capricorn with Pluto gliding up to conjoin it in a few years time. There ain’t nothing like a Pluto-Mars transit for streamlining your life and getting thy merde together.

Mars Retrograde in Leo clearly fuqed with J-Lo’s usually impeccable Leo control-freakery & brazen chutzpah.  There is no WAY a Leo would usually let herself go out the door, let alone on stage in an outfit so weird, drab and unflattering.

Oh dear, it was too late to scrap the January 2010 cover, apparently.

In my previous rant re Tiger Woods & his astro, i was way sympathetic to his Saturn-Uranus square…I was seeing him as non-stop Saturn Man, with the occasional Uranian outlet for his mega-corporate & athletic-in-focus life. Well, as it  happens, he is VERY in tune with his Uranian urges.

I WAS right about his Lilith bent- whenever Dark Moon Lilith is so active, there has to be some element of prostitution, the Shadow-Venusian-feminine etc. It’s arguable but Lilith is linked with the prostitute archetype for sure.

But my god, poor Mrs Tiger & all but he is such a good ad for the Capricorn powers of organisation…His time management skills much be unreal. His Mars is opposite Neptune…Next…major drug allegation?
