WAZ UP ASTROLOGICALLY

EXCERPTS FROM ASTROLOGER REV. LISA ZIMMERMAN

Mars will be going retrograde from Thursday, Nov 15 '07 until Jan 30 '08 in the security-conscious, domestic, sensitive sign of Cancer, so do not be surprised if you find yourself dealing with family issues, emotional needs and $$.
 
Mars is the planet of action, will, courage, how we get what we want, aggression, sex, and it is the warrior.  Mars is a "work" planet, therefore, when Mars goes retrograde you have the opportunity to revisit, regroup or revise your approach to issues, projects and plans. Look back and notice what you have been working on since Sept. 20th - now you can regroup, repair, or find a new method of operation so that you can ultimately move forward in a more effective way.  Remember, this is not the time to begin a new job or start new projects if you can help it. Whatever isn't working should be abundantly clear, so please use this energy wisely to go back and get things on track. 
 
Mars also rules anger and aggression, so those who are usually aggressive may seem less so during this transit and those who are normally mild-mannered may surprise you with emotional outbursts or impulsive behavior. Assertive Mars cannot express itself easily in the gentle sign of Cancer (who loathes confict and confrontation), so be mindful not to go the passive-aggressive route if there's something that's bothering you.  Please find a way to identify your needs and express your feelings so you can get your needs met (getting your needs met is the antidote for anger - did you know that?).
 
My guidance during this time is not to push.  Take actions and if you encounter resistance please look at your way of moving in the world. This is an opportunity to shift that which is not working for you and as always in a retrograde, be ready to reassess and follow the energy.  If you read the energy you can feel and/or see what wants to happen. Where are the openings?  Where are doors closed?  Either try the door a new way or try another door.
