Ah yes, headaches. Major painful tension headaches here lately. Mars stationed retro 1-2 degrees past my Moon/Ascendant opposite Chiron. Now that it’s backed off into my 12th (passing natal Uranus, thank you, just to disrupt sleep, also not so good for headache) it’s starting to ease up. At least Jup moving in Pisces is making lots of nice aspects.

Oddly, Mars station Rx on my Moon set off stuff with my condo, which I’ve been renting out after moving closer to my job. Tenants are leaving – now rent again or maybe sell is the question. Seems like an odd manifestation of Mars-Moon, but I suppose Moon is home, even if no longer lived in? My Moon is also ruled by my Virgo Sun in the 2nd house. Saturn Rx is finishing up a 2nd house transit.

Beth, I love anyone who says “ack”, so you’ll get no Mars guff from me! Sorry about everything else sucking, though. Think of it as lancing the existential boil. (Ewww.)

Michelle, that is exactly what’s busting my chops, the do-overs. I’m trying to be philosophical about it all, but I’m all Zen-Zen-Zen-MELTDOWN!

Lua, there should be laws against Mars/Moon aspects.

April,

Mars is opposite my tenth house Sun, and every frakking complaint or grievance anyone ever had about me is coming at me again. And there just is getting no traction in the romance department. Headaches! Migraine, tension, stange visual disturbances! Ack! Ack! Ack!

I feel very frustrated- everything I do results in a “do-over.” Mars rules my Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and it’s retrograding through my 12th house.

I feel your pain April! I have been writing about this wicked retro Mars as well. I am anticipating enormous fun at the opposition which will conjunct my Ascendant and oppose my Moon in the 7th – duck ladies, for God’s sake duck!
