Do not sign major contracts, Do not expect no delays, Do not plan for peace, Do not plan for cooperation, Do not plan for the ability to pay attention. Do not set up partnerships.

(OK Lunargirl, do not engage in anymore rhetorical overkill, 'K?)

For some reason I get this intuitive message about what can happen after made-during-Mars Rx partnerships: one person accusing the other, saying "You never told me that!" The Vegas wedding reality bite. But maybe I'm just waaaaaaay too conservative and doddery (well I'm over 35,000 years old, we get this way).

Go for good Venus, Jupiter and Saturn aspects, IMHO... Jupiter is still in Leo, Saturn in Cancer is a good stable be-serious-about-us-and-our-home influence... plus Venus moves pretty quickly, she oughta be coming into a decent aspect with Mars once he is stationary or direct.

After talking quite a bit with anafaery (I love anafaery, too), what do ya'll think of these?:

Overall I like the second chart better-- positive Saturn aspects are important for marriages -- but I'm not sure about all the retrogrades. The Nodes, Neptune, and Uranus are all going retro -- is that relevant? Although I think I would take them anyday over Mars Rx... maybe check out those Nodes, tho', as wouldn't it be cool if they made some kind of conjunction with the er, "affianced" couple's natal charts? But don't quote me on the auspiciousness scale, just not sure.

And... er... do people think it's necessary that a couple's synastry or composite chart be compatible with the event chart? Your guess will be better than mine, 'cause I totally dunno. <rats><no rat smilies that I know of>

Mars is the Planet of War, and in a retrograde period it causes anger and discord to turn internal. Passive aggression, inner angst, stress and anguish are all attributed to this planet in retrograde. Turning emotions inward rather than releasing them in a more healthy manner can cause anger and hatred to be misdirected. Like Don Quixote, you are battling demons you can't even see. Severe road rage and issues with internal wellness may be highlighted during this time. More balanced individuals aren't as affected by Mars in retrograde, but during its influence none of us are as saintly as we'd like to be.

its not even that bad really. i was tellin corri that that chart is way better than my marriages chart, although it has its special things too. i dont like venus in the 8th. ah well, they both have their pros and cons.

things are more spread out in the bottom one, but in the top one, the right houses have all the important planets.

virgo ruling the 7th is a nice thing in some ways. i think i would rather have libra moon in the 8th than pisces moon in the first, whats your take on the moon lunar? pisces moon is a lovely moon to have but im thinking for an event (especially this kind) it would be better for a libra moon.

This analysis of Liza Minelli's wedding makes strong mention that a wedding date/time "...must make the Moon happy."

Just a thought, many weddings these days are on Friday evenings, it's become quite fashionable. Perhaps a Friday around the time you're thinking might give you some nice aspects to play with?

Best Wishes...
