Seems like i scared more than a few of you yesterday judging by my email inbox....  look, if it's nice gentle soft and fluffy astrology you want, go elsewhere.  If you want mollycuddling and someone to tell you that he/she will come back and it's not your fault, or that you're going to win the lottery tomorrow or that despite the fact you're obese it's OK to continue eating crap, then go elsewhere.  At the end of the day I realise that I'm out on a limb because of what I do, and believe me I try to be restrained most of the time.  But life's too short for pandering, so what you see is what you get.  Now - to the day's business.  In just under six hours time, at 17.09 UK time, Mars will stand still and begin the tortuous process of moving forward again, although this won't become obvious until the end of the month.  But recent periods of frustration, impotence, anger and exasperation are likely to be shortly changing into more decisive and dynamic forms of expression, and today will be seen as a symbolic turning point.  After today, there will be a clarity and directness available for those willing to initiate new things.  The Moon in the sky opposed Mars in a few hours as well, triggering new responses to old problems.  The next six or seven days are going to become rapidly more transparent and active, the time for talking is done.  Actions speak louder than words, and there will be developments this week that make us all sit up and take notice.
