I'll re-read through the link I posted as part of the article was especially interesting - I'll post that part later.

Personally, I can't help but think that things are coming to a head. I am even dreaming so much more about past events, current events and just weird things.

The Virgo party will be at the time of the New Moon in Virgo. Jupiter, Sun, Mercy & Venus will all be in Virgo at that time. So that means HALF the solar system will be in Virgo at the end of August!

Here's a bit of what it says........

WHAT IS THE LIKELY SCENARIO?
What is the likely scene during July to October? It seems we can look forward to a period of intense Martian energy, with all aspects I have described here being likely. Wars and the energy of war will be in the air. Many people will feel that their ideologies and actions are important enough that they want to defend their lives, their families and territories. Those with axes to grind, and there are many these days, will set about using axes.

Looking for key dates when we can expect to see these Martian/Piscean energies at their peak, we can't miss out on the dramatic New Moon of 28th August with Moon in Virgo at 4 degrees. That day five planets will line-up in Virgo - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. The whole five are opposite Mars/Uranus together in Pisces. This could be a week of sudden explosions of change with the beginning of a new monthly cycle in Virgo - sign of health, diet, food standards, chemistry, purity, work standards and medicine. Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, goes stationary the same day turning retrograde for the next three weeks creating confusion.
.............

And another bit I especially noticed in the article was........

Because all planets actually move in an elliptical (not circular) orbit, there are times when they are closer to the Sun (called a perihelion) and others when they are farthest away (aphelion). During 2003, both Mars and Saturn will reach perihelion points where they are both closest to the Sun. The last time the two were in perihelion in the same year was in 1915, in the midst of World War I. Mars reaches the
perihelion point on 30 August at 6 degrees Pisces, and Saturn is at perihelion on 26 July at 4 degrees Cancer. We will see Mars in the sky brighter than any other object bar the Sun, Moon and Venus during August and September. Martian energy will then impact very strongly on our Earth. Mars will also be joining up closely with Uranus (which recently moved into Pisces) both in June and September/October 2003.
............

So I'm wondering how this will all work out. As I noticed that Mars perihelion point on 30th Aug is at 6 degree - exactly opp my Venus. And at the same time Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will all be
in Virgo (on my stellium). The new moon on the 28th August at 4 Virgo will conjunct my Merc, Venus, Asc & S Node.

That seems to be a lot of energy there. Plus Merc (my chart ruler) also turns retro at the same time Plus Pluto goes direct on 29th Aug..

Now dat is one hell of a lot of transit action

or if you're in google and type "mars-retrograde" (no quotes, with hypen), you'll see this article on the second page

anyway, I want to point out the excerpt by Darrell Martini, the now-retired Cosmic Muffin, so please read when you get a chance and go slow for the next two months peeps, you will have all kinds of urges to do big things, more so than usual, which is why Mars Rx is a tough two months, we have these urges to get so much done. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, slow and steady until October

My Mars is at 1 Pis 17' 9". (It is also located in my 6th house)

I think the other planets that will be affected will end up being my Sun and Venus in Sag (but one is at 25 degrees and other is at 15 degrees) as well as my Pluto and Ascendent at 27 and 24 degrees respectively.

I haven't felt too much pressure from the Uranus conjunct Mars thing though. Maybe it is because after having Saturn opposing the heck out of me any fireworks brought about by the conjunction almost feel refreshing. LOL.

Actually, yes. I was in Phoenix, AZ with Mr. Leo at a conference. We went to dinner on Monday the 23rd had a semi-altercation with the manager of a Mexican resturant. He tried to serve us this beef that looked like pork. Mr. Leo runs a cow/calf operation, so between our work and his cattle biz, we know what beef looks like. We were very polite, but then the manager just went nuts, started yelling and basically flipped out.

I had Mr. Leo leave, since he was almost ready to throw blows, I instructed the idiot manager (who was all of 25 years if that) to print up my bill, and that was about it. I also have a way, when I am really angry to say pretty evil things under my breath so only they can hear. That is what I did to the manager and almost reduced him to tears, but he embarrassed the hell out of us by going crazy.

That night, Mr. Leo was so upset. He felt like everything he was doing was for nothing, in regards to raising cattle and how his family has been raising beef for generations. He broke down, but the whole thing brought us even closer together. I of course fought the urge to fight, but knew that we'd be in deeper trouble.

I left for the trip on 6/21 and had that "uneasy" feeling, which turned out to be right on!

Mars will once again sit on my mars (while conjuncting) my Uranus, about the same week that my divorce is final. I held off signing my papers last year until Mercury was a week out of retrograde (It takes 1 full year of separation before a divorce is granted in this state). Who knows what kind of reaction that will bring.
