Mars activates and accelerates the pace of events in our lives. People currently going through dynamic activity, a hectic fast-paced period, or having the hardest time the first half of December are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorns born the first few days of April, July, October, and January. The second half of Dec. this applies to March Aries, June Cancers, September Libras, and December Capricorns. If you were born in these zones, focus on what constitutes responsible action, given these birth periods show more highly agitated energy than usual.

Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In December 2007, Mars moves from 11 back to 1 degree of Cancer. This month almost exactly mirrors Mars' forward motion in October, so expect returns from that time but seen or done from a different view or approach. As with last month, get used to familiar lessons repeating themselves from new angles. However...

In the spirit of the writer's strike crippling America's access to fake news, irony and satire, today we do a rewritten rerun of a birthday look at the horoscope of "the most trusted name in fake news," host of The Daily Show, Mr. Jon Stewart. This comedic genius was born on November 28, 1962, in New York City. Many bios list him as born in New Jersey, "the Garden State," also known as the toxic dump capital of the US. While he did live there when young, he never grew up there, and now that I think of it, nowhere else either.

These occur in an unending sequence, each unique and yet exerting a powerful effect on present and future New and Full Moons, depending on what aspects are made, which points are stimulated, and how they relate to others sharing these points and aspects. This article is another inspired by a question in a comment stream, and gives us much food for thought.

There's really nothing I could say to add to the legend that is Jimi Hendrix. Today he would have been 65 years old, as impossible as that seems. A star for only 4 years, he changed the face of music forever, not just in terms of guitar sonics, but also through his pioneering use of the studio to create effects that have been studied in countless advanced music engineering and production courses in colleges around the world over the decades since the debut of "Electric Ladyland." Today I've found a few videos to remind you of this extraordinary Sagittarian Fire god and musical genius.

This is a meditation I wrote 15 years ago under the name of "Aquarius," back when I published a column called "The Halls of Wisdom." I find it as powerful now as it was then. Please feel free to meditate upon its principles as frequently as you like, since I believe it has merit. For your consideration, "Remember."

The star Sirius is said to be the most important star in our galaxy. It resides near 14 degrees of Cancer, very close to where Mars went stationary retrograde. That would imply that we stand on the threshold of receiving the awesome galactic wisdom residing in this star, and that we've reached a point where we can act differently than we have before now on the basis of that wisdom. So let's find out more about this powerful influence, the "Sun of our Sun."

Today we take a brief glimpse of how Mars retrograde could impact the various signs. We've discussed some general traits, as well as possible ways this could manifest for good or bad. We've taken a look at the degree points and spans involved, and what it could mean in general for everyone. It is a complex time, but also one where much could get accomplished on an emotional level to provide a safe platform to take care of our needs in the future.

Today we wish Bob Gaudio a very happy birthday, and may you have many, many more. Though some who have lived on Mars from the 60s to the present have never heard of him, he was the musical genius behind the Four Seasons. While Taurus Frankie Valli held the spotlight with his 3 1/2 octave voice belting out hits like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry, "Dawn (Go Away)," "Rag Doll," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," (to name but a few of their many hits) it was Bob Gaudio who wrote these and more. Today I've found a few video clips of the group at their finest.

Today we continue exploring Mars retrograde and the meaning of where it's at and some ways it could show in our lives. Mars goes stationary retrograde at 13 Cancer, a degree indicating we must be strong and flexible as we cultivate our individuality based in decisions made in late September and early October. This time will help us strengthen our determination, steadfastness, and sense of responsibility so we can strengthen the results of those decisions.

Today we continue examining Mars retrograde and how it's manifesting in people's lives. I've noted that many are suffering more intensely lately due to a variety of very complex feelings coming up. It seems that there's more despair, more of a sense that things are slipping backwards with extreme personal feelings pervading the atmosphere.

Mars is already slowing down quickly, preparing to go retrograde November 15 at 12:24 am PST (8:24 am GMT) at 13 degrees of Cancer. It will stay retrograde in Cancer through December 31 at 8:01 am PST when it slips back into its two month return to Gemini. It will be retrograde in Gemini until January 30, 2008 at 2:33 pm when it goes stationary direct at 25 Gemini and then move forward back through the last 6 degrees of that sign until early March when it again returns to Cancer. What can we expect from Mars retrograde in Cancer and Gemini?

Today we have a New Moon in Scorpio at the Transfiguration degree, ushering in a several-week period where we will see evidence of "a job well done," bringing some phase of our lives to completion and illuminating our power of regeneration. This New Moon will produce inspiration, transformation, and many realizations as well as the end of obscurities, vagueness, and deceptions in critical areas of our lives.

This question pops up regularly, most recently in a comment stream. When looking at material for the signs, should we read our Sun sign, our Rising sign, our Moon sign, or what? When we read what's happening for each sign, which is more important and less important, the Sun or Ascendant?

This month accents the water sign Scorpio, where we transcend the forms we’ve glimpsed up to now and move deeper into the experience of people and activities. We can concentrate power by purifying ourselves of obsolete or stagnant feelings, and going deeper into our mystery to regenerate what we need to get from here to where we're going.

Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In November 2007, Mars moves from 12 degrees of Cancer to its stationary retrograde at 13, then moves back through the same small span through the end of the month. The second half of the month will mirror the first half, just as December will mirror October, and January will mirror the last half of September, so get used to familiar lessons repeating themselves from a variety of angles.

How is it possible to know with certainty a) what to do, and b) who to do it with? Many possibilities and experiences arise from these questions, and our lives truly depend on our ability to know the right thing to do at the right time. We all long for certainty, whether who to love and how to love them, which way to point our ship of destiny so we know we are on our path to genuine fulfillment, or which professions are ours to claim and master. How can we know with certainty if someone or something presenting itself is right for us, whether in business, pleasure, or lifework?
