Tracey, this should have some impact, shouldn't it?
"Earth and Mars are rapidly converging. On August 27, 2003--the date of closest approach--the two worlds will be 56 million km apart. That's a long way by Earth standards, but only a short distance on the scale of the solar system. NASA, the European Space Agency and Japan are all sending spacecraft to Mars this year. It's a good time to go. "
NASA on Mars approaching or Same NASA article.
See also this excerpt from many, many websites (for example :Is Mars getting closer!!! and Close Encounters of the Mars Kind.
"This month and next Earth is catching up with Mars, an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years but it may be as long as 60,000 years. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to he naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August Mars will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. But by the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That's pretty convenient when it comes to seeing something that no human has seen in recorded history. So mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share with your children and grandchildren."
"No one alive today will ever see this again."
Hmmm, wonder what sort of interesting historical information can be found around the last three listed dates of Aug. 23, 1924; Aug. 18, 1845; Aug. 13, 1766.

MoreThis is a reply to # 137,550I was just coming here to ask tracey some mars questions!!
here's what I have found so far!
Mars: Planet of Passion
Mars is the action Planet of the Zodiac. The 'Red Planet,' after all, should be pretty fiery, and Mars does not disappoint. Energy, passion, drive and determination are all right up Mars's alley. This Planet commands you (and yes, Mars does rule the military) to stand up, be noticed and get things done -- sitting on the sidelines belongs somewhere else in the heavens. Simply put, Mars speaks to the power and confident expression of the individual.
Ambition and competition are also within Mars's realm. Whether it's at work or on the field of play, Mars encourages us to face challenges and to be our best -- or better. Aggression is part of the plan here, although Mars also values courage and honor. Assertion and a daring, fearless nature please this Planet.
It's important to note that Mars's energy can be constructive or destructive. The God of War in ancient times, Mars could be brutally violent. While this energy still emanates from the Planet, it also asks us to harness this force for good. Stamina, ambition and achievement are all part of Mars' mantra.
Mars rules our sexuality and sexual energy, and governs weapons, accidents and surgery (the last two illustrating the yin and yang nature of this Planet). In the end, however, the energy of Mars can be quite useful if used properly.
It takes nearly two years for Mars to complete its orbit through the Zodiac. It is masculine energy and rules both Aries and Scorpio and the First and Eighth Houses.
So..If I pull up my chart(I need you to hold my hand here tracey!:).....Im going to give this a go..)
So my mars is in Sagitarius... Does this mean that i will be feeling these aspects more?
Like..
this might be some of the trapped feelings in my life and relationships?....and it could amplify me being scattered...
but it could also amplify my enthousiasm,energy, and drive to help things....
(am i getting it?)
and mars also rules the 1st and 8th houses.... so... lets see...
first house
The Ascendant. Your projected behavior, temperament, health, how you react to those around you, and your appearance.
eighth house....
Attitude toward life/death, possessions of others, wills and legacies; sex and regeneration.
there is alot going on in my eighth house!!!
Im loosing myself a little.... ummm...
well so far I have..look pretty and have loasds of sex... Ha!
no,no really....
I feel like im on a role..but does this mean that all the things in my eighth house will be amplified..or.....?
thanks tracey!!!!!!!!

This is a reply to # 137,551Hi Yemaya!
Yes...Mars is super-close to Earth right now! And Mars is in Pisces as is Uranus (Uranus in Pisces is a brand new energy since March 11th and will affect us until 2011ish)...with Mars in Pisces and going in retrograde this means that we'll be going within, going over spiritual stuff....taking action (mars) toward clearing up old spiritual issues. Maybe dreaming more (pisces/neptune) vividly....that will bring up stuff from our subconscious that we need to look at.
When planets go retrograde it usually means that we stop moving forward with the energy of the planet and go within, clear up old projects/issues...it's like a back eddy. It's a good cycle and much can be accomplished. It's not a time to really step into something new.
With Mars in Pisces....we are putting energy into (mars) dreaming, spirituality, music, poetry, the unseen, belief systems...and because Uranus is there too...we may have Relevations and realizations about the above subjects too.
And because Mars is so close to Earth right now...the above subjects are super important for us to look at. (people might get in arguments - mars - about these subjects too) The energy is strong!

This is a reply to # 137,551Hey Yemaya!
That is correct information about Mars...but the Mars we're experiencing now is very different. Pisces is the anti-Mars energy basically because it doesn't like to 'do' like Mars does. Pisces is much more nebulous.
Mars isn't really affecting your Relationship stuff...leave that to Saturn squaring your natal Saturn in Libra! I think I wrote some stuff about that. You should look that transit up on Astrodienst because that is the main transit affecting your relationship right now.
With your natal Mars in Sagittarius in the 9th house...you really really want to make a difference in the world. You want to DO something idealistic and good and moral...it's your Life Objective! The transiting Mars in Pisces IS affecting your natal Mars exactly!! Both are at 9degrees! So....this might mean that you're in Ego conflicts right now. A little mini-war with others. But really, the irritation you're experiencing in your relationships are really just a reflection of a mini-war that is going on inside your own self! Transiting Mars in Pisces will be moving into your 2nd house soon...so I don't know if you're feeling 1st house or 2nd house stuff. 1st house Mars stuff would be about how you appear to others, how people treat you, how aggressive you are and 2nd house Mars (in Pisces) stuff would be more about your Body, how you make your $, your Values...since your 2nd house is Ruled by Pisces all this Uranus/Mars pisces stuff I've been talking about will directly affect these 2nd house issues. That's great! Sounds like over the next years you will be able to make a living by trusting in your intuition, your idealism...and it will be through your Spiritual self that you bring in the $. Your Values are spiritual...and your body is as healthy as your beliefs are. So your positive beliefs play a big role here.
That's all for now!

This is a reply to # 137,550hmm
When I was born, Mars was in my 11th house which is Gemini. My eleventh house is Dreams & Visions, Community.
But... when I did my chart to see where the planets were currently;
(Jul 31) Mars was in my first house and Pisces was there also.
To ask me what all of that means. You got me! lol
I was installing my dad's gf's astrology upgrade program that day so we ran off my charts and other things. lol

This is a reply to # 137,550Hi Peachy!
Yes! Mars' superclose proximity to Earth sure DOES mean something! Isn't that cool? I'm sure I saw Mars last night at about 1am. Looked out to the SE corner of the sky and saw this super-amazingly bright 'star'...it was tinged a bit red, which is usual for Mars. Have you guys seen it?
I think that Yemaya reprinted some ramblings I posted on Mars in Pisces being so close to earth AND conjoining with the new energy of Uranus in Pisces that just happened too. It's a pretty big shift, this new energy. Mars represents our 'doing energy'...and right now with Mars in Pisces (it sure doesnt' seem like a coincidence to me that Mars chose to be in Pisces at this significant time...closest in 60,000 years! wow...and THIS is the energy that is the energy that we have to 'get'....This Uranus/Mars/Piscean energy)...Mars is urging us to realize that, woah, there is sooooo much more than this Physical World. Pisces is 'other worldly', shows us that the 'other world' (our spirit selves) is only a veil away. I would expect that this period in August will make many people much more aware of the depth and height of themselves! Exciting! Interest in dreams will take off as people realize that it's an easy way to connect with their larger and spiritual selves...Interest and knowledge, insight into past lives, the unknown, unseen....ooooh! It's great!
I'm going to go see what's happening exactly on August 27, 2003, planet-wise. Might be neat!
But...a Question for you all: Have you noticed people making big changes in their lives to reflect their True Selves, lately? It seems it's happening on all sides! 90degree turns are being made. More revelations are being had. Everyone around me has been saying that this has been the most exciting, quickening, accelerated times of growth in their lives! wow.

This is a reply to # 137,555Yep, I have seen big changes.
Basically I'm hitting Mars dead on and running for all that I am worth. lol Saturday, August 2nd. I had my 22 strands of DNA activated as well as my cords cut (energy ties to everyone that I have come into contact in my life). Yesterday I had another healing session done because Sunday my energy went back to zero. Come to find out these last three years I had a hole in my aura due to the trauma of my grandmother's passing. So we fixed that, cut cords to me again, and activated my DNA again. Yesterday I had a client come over and instead of an hour reiki healing session that I normally do, it was only 30 minutes. Because of my DNA being activated and all of my blocks unblocked for my abilities, things are happening much faster and clearer (picture a diesel train running warp speed. That is how my day has been today. lol). Saturday night I was whipping around healing energy balls in the bar while I was visiting my friend and so 30 to 40 people that were with us got a free healing treatment from me. (I was sober but high on energy and life!)
Mars is supposed to come Aug. 22nd and hit closer on the 27th. Well the people who gave me and my business a new lease on life will be back from Utah then, and I hope bringing knowledge in what I know will help me out both ways business wise, spiritually and my physical self. If that is the case, I'm taking full advantage of the planets being the closest then. lol
Take care. :)
