On July 1, Mars entered Virgo. Just a few days later Virgo John McCain radically shook up his campaign organisation by, among other things, naming a central campaign director to oversee all aspects of his presidential run (he didn’t have one before – stroke of genius there). Ever since, McCain has been reinvigorated, even showing off his scary trademark anger (which is for another post) to reporters from time to time. Coincidence? Hardly.

Remember back a few months when Obama was just tired. He looked exhausted and had lost his sparkle, and then in mid-May he came roaring back. Well, Mars had entered his sign, Leo, at that time, giving him an added boost.

Both of these are fine examples of Mars as it moves into your sign. When Mars is in the sign before your sun sign, its energy just gets zapped. Your dreams may become incredibly vivid and you may have the urge to sleep all the time. Mars in this placement is a time to slow down and recharge your batteries. It is a time to let your inner-psyche and psychology take over and naturally work out your problems in your sub-conscious mind.

When Mars moves into your sun sign, it is time to rock and roll. This marks a two-year high point in terms of vitality and vigor. You will be able accomplish a lot, so get ready to dust off those old projects. Mars presently is transitting Virgo, where it will remain until mid-August when it moves into Libra.

If you ever feel completely lethargic and drained, check out where Mars is in your chart and if it is making any aspects to any planets, as well. You may be able to better plan the use of your energies that way.
