this is funny, i just posted the same question in another forum i go to.

except mine will be coming up in July, and it will be a mars retutn in leo in the 7th.

i know that mars returns usually signify a new, 2 - 2.5 year energy cycle. (it takes mars about that long to return back to its natal spot) Each time starts a renewal of energy.

I've been searching for some good info on mars returns - without much luck.

I will let you know what I find out, about the significance of a mars return in the 7th.

ok, this is what i found out.

The Mars return is about out drive to assert our will, work, make progress, do things. It’s active energy, through and through! “MARS returns every 2 years and the chart for that moment in time generally reflects work, healthy aggression and energy drives.”
Place the return planets in the natal chart and read as a transit chart, then put them back in the return chart to interpret as the outcome of those transits.
With Mars in your 7th house, you may feel a shift of power in relationships. You may want to be the boss! This is the house of socially significant relationships and Mars here is energy ready to burn! You’ll want to tango! (metaphorically or otherwise!) Others may point you in the right direction for new work or opportunities. Listen to them! A relationship could become more work oriented!

John Townley wrote a great little book on planetary returns called “Astrological Life Cycles”, Destiny Books, 1987. He talks about the Mars return being a two year “work-energy” cycle with the return a time of “renewed interests and new directions. It gives an energy boost that often marks a change in job status…”

Hope this helps. Interesting huh?
Let me know how this cycle effects you.
I'm looking forward to it. I could use a little more energy these days!

It's my Libra guy. I was just checking what transits I was going through, and realized WHY certain things had just happened.

So I decided to look at his too so I could understand more. And from what you are saying, it makes perfect sense.

Poor boy. He doesn't even know. (heehee)

I'm in one of those "astrology is amazing" states right now.

One of the last things I said to Libra guy was exactly this, "I'm not trying to be nosey, and I don't want to know about anything petty, I just care about your health, if you're working too much, and pushing yourself too hard." He nods for me to continue. "You want things to go smoothly, and you want me to be OK." This time he nods in agreement and pleased I understand the dynamics of his concern lately.

That's why I'm asking the question about him needing certain things just right before giving in even more to me.

But that line you just said, about needing things to go smoothly. I already knew that instinctively, and let him know I knew that's what was happening right now.

And then the next day I look into the transits, and I'm obviously in awe of astrology right now.

(And confirms for me I'm not only "on time", but I may even be just a tad AHEAD of time, which is even f'g better!!!!

Where would I like to be next year... hmmmm...

Living in a shack by the ocean with no crowds, no traffic, no TV, no radio. Simplicity. Relaxation. Quiet mind. Nature.

It may seem like I'm not aiming so high, but such is the nature of Capricorn, to grow younger as time goes on. My Jupiter & Saturn are Conjunct in Capricorn in the 9th.

Jupiter is the ruler of my 8th House, which will just make my strong Scorp influence even more introspective and monastic. That's me. To die anonymously with no frickin' funeral or people to make a fuss.
