Look Like A Leo With The Arnie Diet

Mars is in Leo until  next JUNE so is it time for the Arnie Diet???  It’s extreme but highly effective and life-altering.

Every day; you have to have ten orgasms and do four hours of working out. That’s it. Eat and drink whatever the hell you feel like apart from junk food. Nothing in a packet.  It doesn’t  matter if some of the orgasms are D.I.Y. but you have to have ten.

Apparently there is only ONE person who is known to have lived this lifestyle and that was Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 70s. He is a Leo with Mars in Leo.


Transit Lounge: Mars

The transits of Mars never passed un-noticed. They’re manifest & in your face.  The other day, when i dinged my head, I was having a Mars transit, for instance. The very same week coincided with the “outing” of open “enemies.”  But BECAUSE I was having a Mars transit, I thought ‘great.’  Better overt than covert. Yes, it all sounds a bit dramatic but fairly classic for any astro-passage involving Mars.  Ditto a short-tolerance for lack of respect, limitations and obstacles.

The upside of Mars???  A LOT of energy that if you channel it effectively can be amazingly productive. The guts to stick up for what is right & to take incisive strategic action, sans waffle or sentiment.

There are two different types of Mars transits – Mars zooms around the place & aspects – say – your Mercury or your Venus. So your talking or your love nature gets ‘Mars-ified’ for a few days. Mars on your Venus is excellent if you’re up for flirtation & new lust opportunities. Mars-Mercury is when you send off a trillion new biz pitches in a day.  And most likely tell someone or other to get effed.

The other type of Mars transit is when your natal Mars is triggered by a passing planet. If this is any planet past Jupiter, it can last for months, maybe years. These are the ones that it is totally worth keeping an eye on. Right now, for instance, anyone with Mars at Zero to five degrees of a Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) or in the same degrees of Taurus/Virgo is having their Mars affected by Pluto; an awesome unleashing of power: ruthless self-regenerative powers.

Mars is in Gemini and moving to square Saturn (sigh) and then Uranus (yay) over the next few weeks. It will stress out les Mutables the most (Gemini, Virgo, Saggo, Pisces) but everyone gets it a bit…As Saturn and Uranus oppose one another in mid-Sept, Mars triggering both now is actually a really useful prequel of September tensions. No, they need not be tensions. An opposition can also be delightful balance…

Again, it’s about trying to find the ideal state between  honouring Saturn (tradition, work ethic, discipline, corporations, security) and Uranus (innovation, excitement, freedom) without overdoing it either end. Too much Saturn and you’re a moribund drudge. Too much Uranus and  you’re a flake adrift.

Soooo Mars, as is his wont, is basically getting in there early and starting a fight between Saturn & Uranus way before it is even due. The square to Saturn perfects by August 11 and the one to Uranus by the 19th. There are friendly aspects to Mars from the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding so being grounded/sensible (to keep Saturn at bay, stay frugal, organised and humble) even as you self-actualise and do the rad Uranian thing is the way to go…

And of course, once Saturn has opposed Uranus in mid-September, our Mars heads into Leo for nearly nine months. And what does Mars do in Leo?  Acts out & shows off. Bigtime. Unreal if you’re a performer though…
