A Grand Square in the Fixed signs has begun, and will continue for some months to come. This article explains how it might affect you personally, but I also believe that it represents much of what is happening regarding the Plame investigation.
http://www.friendsofastrology.org/MolyArticles/mars-in-taurus.html "The second and third oppositions are part of the Grand Fixed Cross, and will occur on December 4 (Mars retrograde) and January 15 (Mars direct). During the months of December and January you Scorpios will be under fire, especially those of you born between October 29 and November 6. During this two-month period relationship issues will require exceptional patience and effort on your part. With Jupiter in your sign you will try to give more of yourself and your time, but no matter how much you give you will still be reproached for what is not given. Use Jupiter’s more powerful soothing nature to counter-act the attacks of Mars. Remember that this, too, will pass!
The planet Neptune is now in the middle of its seven-year transit of Aquarius, and transit Mars in Taurus will be forming a difficult square aspect with this planet."

"While all the Fixed Signs are tied into this Grand Cross, it is the Taurus natives who will bear the brunt of this stressful energy. Mars is an active planet, and with so many squares lasting over the entire transit, Taurus natives are likely to find themselves working non-stop. With a Grand Cross energized by transit Mars Taureans will find things are an unending circle of problems and issues to be resolved. As soon as one thing is settled, another will rise to take its place. For all Taureans this will be a difficult transit, and with Mars activating you with stress from all quarters you may find it difficult to find some “down time” to give yourself a chance to rest! While you Taurus natives have exceptional stamina, this transit of Mars may test your limits of endurance. Taurus is often noted for being stubborn and inflexible, and Mars may be just what is needed to get you moving! Of course, once Mars is in motion it will keep you going and going!!
"The pattern of a Grand Cross is a set of two oppositions forming squares with each other. The key to working with this energy will be to pace yourself, and not allow any one “leg” of the Cross to become a dominant issue. With Saturn involved follow your routines and plans and don’t get drawn into working frantically. With Neptune involved make sure you have a clear picture of the goals and objectives of your efforts. With Jupiter involved avoid excesses of all kinds. By constructively tapping into this exceptionally powerful energy you may feel the stress, but the achievements will be also be extraordinary!
For those of you Cardinal and Mutable signs who are not directly participating in this Grand Fixed Cross, you are likely to have some wonderful things in store! What may be a major problem for a Fixed sign may bring an opportunity to you!! While Mars is in Taurus from July 28, 2005 to February 17, 2006 the planetary patterns will be exceptionally powerful. And no matter what your sign, the key will be learning how you can personally tap into this energy and produce positive results."
The Grand Square will be activated next week with the Sun in Scorpio squaring Saturn in Leo, closely folowed by the Sun Squaring Neptune in Aquarius and Mars in Taurus, all close to or on the mid-points of each sign. This is highly significant, and I would like to discuss what others think this will mean. Personally, I think a few someones very close to Bush will be going to jail....
What do you think???
