Mars Opposing Retrograde Jupiter...

starts on August 3 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on August 4 at 2.20pm in Kilmore, leaves on August 6.  Mars at 3 degrees and 10 minutes of Libra, retrograde Jupiter at 3 degrees and 10 minutes of Aries.

Mars and Jupiter are both quite energetic planets, and the both connecting through the further energising opposition suggests that this is likely to be a powerful time for us all, particularly since this all happens in the cardinal signs of Aries and Libra.

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, Mars energises whatever it touches, and in this case it is Jupiter which has been in the early degrees of Aries for a few weeks now and has already turned around is going back into Pisces in another few weeks.  Jupiter represents growth, opportunity, luck; and also legal, educational, and/or foreign people and places.

The opposition represents a major turning point in the people and situations represented by Mars and Jupiter in your birth chart... particularly someone or something that came into your life when Mars and Jupiter were last conjunct back in late February 2009 at about 9 or 10 degrees of Aquarius.

As usual look to see where this opposition is falling, and which houses are ruled by Mars (ones with Aries or Scorpio on the cusp) and Jupiter (ones with Sagittarius or Pisces on the cusp) to get a feel for what or who is likley to be reaching a major turning point now.

If you have personal planets and/or points in Aries or Libra then you may feel this energy more strongly that others.
