Mars Michael Erlewine Introduction 2Copyright © 2010 Matrix Software

In the tradition of astrology the planets have always been interpretedseparately from the Sun and the Moon, which are called "The Lights," and forgood reason. They literally light up our life and their combined interactiondescribes the essence of what is happening to us at any given time.Although called "The Moon Report," any mention of the Moon automaticallyinvolves the Sun, and of course, our Earth. These three, the Sun, Moon, andEarth, in their endless interaction are perhaps the single most importantfactor to observe in astrology.The ever-changing relationship in the sky between the Sun and the Moon isperhaps most obvious at the Full Moon, but as we know, it is going on all thetime. This report tracks the Sun-Moon relationship as it relates to yourparticular natal horoscope and birth chart, detailing all of the major eventsthat take place in the current month for a specific life area and planet.The Moon has always represented the 'mother', meaning anything thatnurtures or cares for us, our support system, however that is made up. It alsoindicates our emotional makeup, how we feel about things, and thenostalgia of the past - where we came from.On the other hand, the Sun represents the 'father' principle and the future,where we are heading toward and, to some degree, the means we have toget there. The Sun burns brightly, while the Moon is cool and comforting. Thetwo together mark the endless play between the past and the future, and wehere on Earth, are caught right in the middle, that is: the present.

Mars keeps us going; it is theway we reach out and where at times push comes to shove. It has to do withhow we are aggressive and assert ourselves, although this need not mean inan unrestrained manner, but that too sometimes happens.If we are looking for a pick-me-up and perhaps some extra energy to get thejob done, Mars can indicate when and in what form this might come.This forecast is about how the planet Mars figures in your natal chart and whatit portends for the immediate future. Mars in that gut feeling that makes usdo things, that keeps us on the job, and urges us forward toward the future.We hope you enjoy it.

MarsTrineSun(Waxing)

Success by EffortWhen it comes to your ambitions and will to fulfill your potential, a burst ofenergy and courage is usually available to you that will allow you to makegreat strides in building whatever foundation for the future you are workingon.

MarsSquareMercury(Waxing)

Make a StatementYou are often moved to commit yourself mentally, whether in words, writing,speaking, etc., and transition from potential to actuality, with a sense ofovercoming obstacles and actually making a statement.

MarsSesquiquadrateVenus(Waxing)

Love ThwartedYou will naturally have energetic times, where things are enabled and youcan make progress, in this case progress connected to desires for a morephysical existence, be it through exercise and sports, or getting morephysical (hugs, whatever.) with those closest to you.

Whatever you have built with your efforts comes under youreagle eye, as you sort out what helps from what hinders. You like to parethings down to what is simplest.

MarsSemisquareUranus(Waning)
