I went to the Homecoming football game for the high school last night. It was a really unusual game particularly for the fact of there being several dramatic injuries. I lost count of how many times there was a player down on the field with the teams taking a knee on opposite sides while coaches and paramedics hovered. The Moon and Mars were conjunct in Leo, dramatic injury, dramatic feeling, and these were all star players, Mars in Leo. Shockingly, the homecoming king himself was the first down on the field (Mars in Leo square Venus in Scorpio with Uranus on their midpoint).

I got out last night and ran into some Venus Pluto “corpses,” and you know what? It was fine. I got out and acted shiny (Mars in Leo) and felt shiny (Moon in Leo). I like what Elsa had to say about Black Moon Lilith opposing Saturn and delaying negotiations. With a stellium in Libra and Mars in Leo opposing Vesta (passions and what’s sacred) it’s a good time to have fun relating. Skip the negotiations and do what you like to do (Mars sextiling Venus).

Saturn just went through my son’s 11th house and he’s seen his circle of friends tighten. Friends without integrity have fallen away. At the same time Pluto is transiting his Uranus Sun opposition. He’s had a somewhat distant relationship with his father but I see him actively reshaping it. In synastry neither of their Mars aspects anything in the other’s chart. However, they both have Mars in fire, my son’s in late Aries and his father’s in early Leo. They both have an active physical drive. My son’s attempts to engage his father have all fallen rather flat until he hit on this latest strategy: he challenged him to play raquetball. Now they’re meeting weekly and hanging out afterward.

A Leo Mars in the 11th house rarely shrinks from a public challenge. My son, with his Aries Mars in the 6th worked straightforwardly, trying one thing after another till he found a solution. Who will win? Who cares; as far as I’m concerned they both win.

How do you get what you want? Where is your Mars? Does it hunt?
