Hot spots: Mars on fire in the USWest

At the beginning of Fall 2007 I wrote a blog “Fall Equinox: getting your balance”. I pointed out the strong position of Mars, and that the red planet would be “out-of-bounds” by declination from early October through the end of April 2008.

Mars has had a strong influence on many of the recent astrology charts. And Mars also figures PROMINENTLY in the October 25/26 Full Moon chart for Southern California and Nevada as Mars, symbolizing heat, crosses the Ascendant exactly in Las Vegas, NV.

Since Mars symbolizes HEAT and is out of bounds, it can get excessively HOT. Out of bounds acts like a wild card, and can literally know no limits. The prominence in these charts shows Mars at it’s hottest in the area just north of LA through Las Vegas and down through the west coast of Mexico. This can keep temperatures high and the fires burning.

At Thursday night’s Full Moon, Venus and Uranus are also strong in the chart, Venus at the IC (conjunct the 4th house cusp) and Uranus at the MC (conjunct the 10th house cusp), showing that you can become detached from the home you love. And that home is where the heart is, but “home” can change instantly. Homes can be lost and shared as evacuees join together in group living situations. And it will all be documented by the media (Uranus on the MC).

in Love&Light,
