Mars is about to go retrograde right in the middle of the 2012 primary election season. Mars retrogrades happen approximately every 2 years, as Mars, the Earth and the Sun align in that order. Due to the relative motion of the Earth, Mars appears to make a loop in the sky, and it becomes brightest at its opposition with the Sun. There are 7 distinct areas of the zodiac where Mars goes retrograde, and about every 15 years, a Mars retrograde will happen in the same part of the zodiac, gradually shifting backward through the signs. In astrology, Mars is a malefic destructive planet, signifying aggression and conflict, as well as boldness and courage. Mars retrogrades are known for signifying notable conflicts, unusual victories and losses. Virtually all of the 2012 presidential candidates have natal placements that connect to the upcoming Mars retrograde which leads me to believe the early primary season will be especially interesting to watch.
